A 24.9 billion-pixel photo offering a 360-degree panoramic view of the Bund, Shanghai’s icononic waterfront promenade, has become a sensation in mainland China – especially after internet users started zooming in to uncover some unusual sights, the Shanghai Morning Post reported on Saturday.

A naked man was spotted talking on the telephone next to a window in the Pudong Shangri-La hotel.
