From Port City To Global Leader
This is what Shanghai looks like now – a cultural and economic giant – thanks to the ‘90’s Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping who is believed to have said: ‘If China is a dragon, Shanghai is its head” is the saying today. All this was achieved in roughly 25 years!
There is no denying the incredible development of Shanghai over the past 25 years. Known also as the “vertical city” Shanghai has some of the world’s tallest and most impressive buildings.
The Original Las Vegas
Fremont Street dates back to 1905 when Las Vegas itself was founded. This street was the first to be paved in 1925 and got its first traffic light in 1931. Gambling was not legal then and Fremont street was one of the first to get a license to gamble. Those were hedonistic days!
Fremont Street is now regarded as an iconic aspect of Las Vegas as one of the first paved streets. While gambling was part of the lifestyle here long before it even became legal, Las Vegas has made a name for itself as a top-rated tourist destination.
