It was as if time had frozen-the extensive row of western-style buildings along the Bund, the dark green oriental plane trees in the European gardens in front of the western-style houses on Huaihai Road, the streetcars on Nanjing Road slipping along the streets at their own unhurried pace.
外灘那恢弘的西式建築群原封不動處在那裡，淮海路歐洲花園洋房前的法國梧桐依舊青綠，南京路的電車不急不緩的行駛過街頭。
