This is my second youtube account (First one's called Onlyplants). As the channel name suggest, I will be sharing my thoughts, philosophy, personal, and professional experiences with very little reservations. There will also be a whole range of experience on this channel, anywhere from self-care to travel. I created this platform to share what I've learnt, and to engage with an audience that agrees and disagrees with me in a meaningful and mindful manner.
Travel Inside China’s Prosperous, Innovative, and Futuristic Megacity FILLED With Hidden Gems.
In this episode, I will try to convince you that Shanghai is one of the MOST underrated places to travel, with LOTS of hidden gems that only savvy locals know.
For some context, I lived and worked in Shanghai 10 years ago. I was shocked to see how modern, vibrant, an comfortable the city has become.
We will not visit any typical tourist destinations, you are more than welcome to google those on your own. Instead, we go on adventures around the city that highlights modern lifestyle, and the evolving culture of today’s Chinese people.
This is important, because there’s a lot of misconceptions about China, its cities, and many of its wonderful citizens. We will not discuss political ideology and differences in this episode, but simply sit back and celebrate the amazing city and its people.
The clips were shown in the order in which it was filmed, but there are timestamps conveniently placed so you can skip to the parts you feel most relevant/interesting to you.

I highly appreciate your vlogging.very detailed and informative.
Thanks - Very interesting.
Hi Sean. I wanted to know if you can now ship your plant soap or how was that going?
you sir have convinced me to visit Taiwan. what an amazing place.
just out of curiosity, why did you say that you are glad to have moved out of shanghai?
Great vid, thank you. Do people think visinting Taiwan during Japanese Golden Week is a good idea?
what did you blood platelet count went down to? and what did they do about it?
Taroko Gorge is probably the most beautiful place I've visited in the world so far.
😭 Just came back from Shanghai & miss it already watching your vlog. Thanks for sharing all the places you visited & would definitely need this itinerary the next time i'm back at Shanghai.
This video is just so beautiful! I love your narration, it's like we're watching a Natgeo Documentary :D Now i want to visit Taiwan! May I know the month of your visit in this video? Thanks!
Shanghai was super cool 2007-2015 - Now it's not what it used to be. Too sad.
Incredible! I personally couldn’t live in a small place all the time. But this is well thought out and designed. It’s amazing how many plants you have in that small area! I have to say I love the room with the clear ceiling over it. It’s like a mini jungle! I would sit on that balcony every day with my morning coffee. So I just discovered your other channel and I have subscribed to both. I watched the one where you divided up your pink princess and unfortunately many of them died. But your honesty about how things don’t always go perfectly is what got me to subscribe!
Pity u didn’t visit the bund on the sunny day with the clear blue sky, would have been good to pay a quick visit.
lol Sakura Sakoorah
thanks for the great vlog, is very helpful for me as I plan to solo trip & first time to shanghai soon!🎉
I have a Monstera constellation. Would it be better to keep it in the east window or put it under a grow light?
I like it.
I heard that the smell from the volcano is horrible. Probably you should warn people about especially those with respiratory problems. They might need to wear a mask or something.
This is amazing video 😀😀😀
Your so handsome ❤
I didn’t realise you have another channel! Just watched this and I know it’s 2 years old, but I reckon you will miss having dogs around. My two chihuahuas are bloody annoying and at times they limit so many things in my life. However I don’t regret having them for one second, I love staying home with them. I think when things slow down a bit, you will miss being a dog dad! ❤
I’m here for the first, and wow!! what an amazing country! I didn’t think anywhere could top Japan, but Taiwan did in so many ways!
Some Shanghai Taxi has Note printed on their door " No Japanese and dogs allowed" . And few days back 8 April got case of an Uber driver chased 2 japanese passengers out from his car. Very friendly.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Going to Taiwan for my second time in November and thinking about renting a car for at least part of the trip. Do you think it would be manageable with Google Maps? My only moment of pause is how a lot of the signage has no English.
Name best place to eat Dog meat. Thx
Taiwan is so great, no wonder its neighbour wants it ❤
Guys, IT'S OKAY TO LIKE CHINA AND THE CHINESE! China is not Mordor and the Chinese are not orcs! China is not some flawless paradise, they got issues like any other countries in the world, BUT it is NOT a hell hole on the brink of collapse where the people live in fear and under oppression! Far from it!
Your Vlogs are awesome! You skipped all the touristic cliches and bigoted commentaries and went directly to the places I use to go. Shanghai is filled with Art and original spaces all over. I guess this was last year (because of the Cicadas), right?😉 I hope you can come back and make more content to show the truth about how we live in China in 2024. Cheers!
Where is BSD Sean? Houston, TX here. Thanks
Great video! Love it..... I will be going to Kyoto tomorrow.
I love you home! Can we please get a 2024 update on your beautiful spaces please? 🙏😊
Love it! Please don’t worry about anything “messy” it’s not messy. You have things! Things lay in places! lol New subscriber here<<< Watching from Chicago USA 😊
Great coverage of an increasingly great city, thank you so much! I love seeing the old preserved into the new - incredible! So beautiful!
Some parts in Taiwan deserve to be called paradise on earth.
i moved to China last year for school and although where i am in Tianjin isn't quite as crazy as Shanghai, it's been such a treat to experience this bustling futuristic country
the is the video i didnt know i needed. but really glad i found it. definitely a bunch of hidden gems here :D
At least you’re handsome 😅
Can you share the address for Bar Ego. Looks lovely.
If you have the baidu map app, type in bar Ego and it should come up 😀
@@onlysean1376 amazing! Found it. Thank you. Your video was amazing. Can’t wait to be back in Shanghai next month.
Sean, much thanks for sharing contemporary Shanghai with us. Simply mindboggling! The car is NIO - world's #1 top quality controlled car company of modern times, where Tesla is on #23rd! Fascinating indeed.
Haha interesting insight of Nio VS Tesla! Noted 😀
This vlog shows the essence of Shanghai living! Better than those who only know the Bund😅
😀😀
Nice to see all the small local businesses and that China isn't getting completely swallowed up by big mega corporations. Very impressive.
Oh yes its actually easy to start a business in China.
ufff great video; something similar from Shenzen?
Ive never been to Shenzhen 🥹 But ive heard good things. Hope I can visit soon.
Love to watch you vlogs. Amazing pictures of amazing places in China.
Thank you ❤️❤️
Absolutely amazing tour of Shanghai. Wish to have seen this video earlier as I have just come back from Shanghai and realized how many and how much I have missed. Will visit Shanghai again for sure. Thank you for sharing. Subed, because I do not want to miss anything else. 😀
Oh yes I will always come back to Shanghai. Need to keep up with the transformations. It is inspiring and awesome
I thought you were a ABC. But it turned out you're an indonesian. wow, your Chinese is quite good. btw, The electrical car you tried, you said the brand is Nio? Nio (Chinese name Weilai), LiXiang, XiaoPeng are 3 electrical car makers; not as famous as BYD but have much potentials.
I grew up in the states (and Singapore) 😀 Interesting! I kinda wanna check out BYD to see what the fuss is all about but we dont have a showroom in Indonesia.
Mind opening, had a bit different idea of how China may look, thank you for this video ☀️
😀😀❤️
Goes to work the might as well to farm Goes to work, might as well farm
wonderful video, i especially liked the stairway 19:15. amazingly impressive. that said, i noticed at the end what appeared to be a brief view of park down below from a shot from your hotel. i would have appreciated a stroll thru a park of some scenes of nature. i loved the thousand trees. but all in all, life is more than shopping and consumerism, hence, i'd suggest showing more options aside from retail outlets. insides of homes, a drive thru residential areas. loved the architecture! thank you.
Ohh if you follow my main youtube account - onlyplants. I will have shanghai botanic garden episode up later this month! It will be an epic episode depicting Shanghai’s love for gardening and nature.
thank you! please let me know when it goes up and what is your "main youtube account"?@@onlysean1376
that would be wonderful @@onlysean1376
WOWed by the effect you made for this video, showing a inner sight of Shanghai. I search 植物草杖 in 1688 the minute I saw it in your video 嘻嘻~打开新世界~Thank you for your sharing!
😀😀
Too bad it's under the thumb of the CCP. China needs new leadership, more freedom and new system.
I think most developed countries need a reform - not just China. 😅 so many questionable leadership and politics.
