I had this idea. Where did I get it from? A conversation whilst walking around Shanghai? I have this image/memory of some sculptures of cranes or herons (birds) in somewhere like Peoples Square or Park, and the associated idea that the crane was a symbol of Shanghai. But I can't find any evidence for this now. Googling "symbol of Shanghai" produces a large number of references all based on the "English" grouping of these 3 words. Most of them refer to the Bund or the Pearl of the Orient or the Pu Dong skyline.
