People Mountain, People Sea

In the streets of Shanghai, Mainland China, at night, crossing the road can be quite the interesting sight for the first time visitor.

 

There is a phase in Mandarin, (人山人海), literally translated to "people mountain, people sea", meaning huge crowds of people. One will not appreciate the true meaning of this phrase until the waves of Chinese humanity descend upon them. The waves seem to go on and on with no end in sight at times!
