Shanghai has many buildings that were constructed in the first four decades of the 20th century, such as these ones near the Bund.
 This is the Oriental Pearl Tower (东方明珠塔) in Pudong, a section of Shanghai full of newer and taller buildings. It's nearly 470 meters tall, but that must be counting up to the top of the spire and antenna.
 Sebastian, Arthur, and Eric in front of the Oriental Pearl Tower. I think the pinnacle height of 468 meters can be compared to the Skydeck on the Chicago Willis Tower (Sears Tower), which is at 412 meters height.

Physical representations of Buddha and related abstract concepts of paradise, peace, enlightenment, and so forth in Longhua Temple, there to help focus devotion and thought. The 500 Lohan (Arhat) are something similar to saints in Christianity and Islam. They successfully achieved deliverance from this material existence.
Artwork in Longhua Temple representing various Buddhist saints and illustrative stories of religious excellence within Buddhism.
