carton model of Shanghai

it's so vast, your jaw just drops. and then you walk around it, amaze at rich people's villas quarter, at the skyscrapers in Pudong (the tallest of them still not finished in the real world), you spot places you've been to and then come back to disbelieving how large this area is. nothing like this in Europe. in any way.
but they tell you. it's there, in your face. the core area (within the inner Ring Road) is 110 square km. the Central Shanghai (within the Outer Ring Road) is 660 sq km. the municipality is 6340 sq km. the Greater London (the administrative region) is 1572 sq km. Moscow is 2511 sq km
