Thames Town
Thames Town is located in Songjiang District, about 30 km from
central Shanghai. If you have some
time in Shanghai you should take the chance to visit this place and
- of course - to find the cache.
Thames Town is one of 9 New Towns which are planned to build in
Shanghai during the next years. Some of them are still under
construction but Thames Town is already finished. The city is named
after the River Thames in England. The architecture both imitates
and is influenced by classic English market town styles. There are
cobbled streets, Victorian terraces,
corner shops—empty as in an abandoned film set. Some of the
architecture has been directly copied from buildings found in
England, including the church (copied from one in
Clifton, Bristol) and a pub and fish and chip shop (copied
from buildings in Lyme Regis, Dorset).
.
All 9 new towns are themed:
Swedish, English, Italian, Spanish,
American, Dutch, German, traditional
Chinese, and an ecological town called Lingang.
