The Chinese invented noodles (brought back to Italy by Marco Polo), so it is perhaps fitting that some of the most impressive spaghetti junctions are being built in China. I visited the first one (photo: Yan'an Elevated Road at North South Elevated Road) during my last trip to Shanghai (you can barely make out the pedestrian ring contained within...I spent at least an hour just taking it all in while traveling the pedestrian ring).
