From the observation deck, we could see once famous as a ferry crossing point on the Yangtze River and panoramic view of the city.


Next we had coffee break and some shopping time at Landmark Riverside Danzishi Old Street.  The old street could be located on the upper floor of the mall which is a street level which is so unique.
