I’m from Shanghai and I feel like I have no choice but love shanghai right? I also lived in New York where everyone try to say the two cities are comparable, but I honestly don’t feel the same at all. Shanghai is modern in the way of New York, but the vibe is softer, more artistic, and safer.
@@unka2007 a young girl could walk around Shanghai in the midnight at a dark street, can girls in NYC do? Anyone with common sense won’t. Yes I know people will say that NYC is more democratic, but you have to stay alive to vote, right? For most ordinary people, we just want to live in a place without gun violence, drug(including marijuana), robbery, feels fear-free when riding subways in the night. I have people telling me” you have to always watch surrounding “ in NYC. No sorry, you don’t have to in Shanghai at all.
I am a 45-year-old Shanghai native. The biggest charm of Shanghai lies in its inclusiveness, welcoming friends from all over the world to enjoy everything here.
You both deserve to be way more popular! I always appreciate how much craft goes into the editing and storytelling of your videos. Also, loved the history lesson on this one!
I used to live in Shanghai as an expat in early 2000, and jt was fabulous!! I so miss living in Shanghai. The reason foreigners love Shanghai is that youcan find the best of both worlds. I remember being able to buy the most authentic, quality, chocolate, cheeses and dine at the best French restaurants then. The view of the Bund is still so special and romantic.
Shanghai is a wonderfull city. I lived/worked there in 2007 for half a year and only 10 months later i went back for another 5 months, because i missed it so much. Both times i lived between shanghai stadium and Xujiahui. In 2010 was the last time i was in Shanghai for a 3 wk holiday. Hopefully i will go back there some day.
I’m Singaporean Chinese. Lived and worked here for over 12 years, still married to a Shanghainese and we have a daughter. Only gripe I have about Shanghai is the huge size of the city and you have to travel really far to get to nature trails.
In addition to the reasons mentioned in the video, I think foreigners like Shanghai simply because it's easy. It's easily navigable, lots of people speak English (and other foreign languages), excess of not just western food, but *very* high-end western food, and not just a foreign "community", but a foreign *population* . Other cities are big, easily navigable, have lots of locals who speak English, have high-end western food and foreigners too. Beijing, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou immediately spring to mind, but Shanghai just has all these things in the extreme. Because of that, it makes life simply easier and more comfortable for foreigners, so lots of us flock there. Even the people that don't prefer living in Shanghai (like myself) can't honestly say it's a bad place.
You guys are one of my favorite TH-camrs, your videos are so unique and beautifully made. Thank you for introducing Shanghai especially the French Concession from an European perspective. I grew up in Shanghai and love the city very much despite that I have lived in overseas for many years.
Have only been in one city in China and that is Shanghai, feel like I made the right choice. Remember I was so amazed by the skyline, up to then I hadn't seen anything like it.
Much prefer those other cities. Really liked Shanghai though. The lower income areas are horrendous. So soulless and rundown. . In those other cities that’s where you can still have a great time.
I had the big plate chicken in Shanghai, then went to Xinjian and had the same several times and the one in Shanghai was the best. Xinjian foods was incredibly tasty!
Loving the mix of Chinese and French vibe on this video. ❤ Also the food 😋 looking forward on the 2nd part of this video! Thanks again, Jack and Nico! 😊
Come back to China now that it's no longer zero-covid. There's so much more to check out. One could probably spend an entire lifetime and come nowhere near seeing and experiencing everything this amazing country has to offer.
Shanghai is my hometown and it is a very beautiful city. I am very happy to see such an objective evaluation of Shanghai by international friends. Welcome to Shanghai!❤❤❤
Glad to see Nico finally reunitied with Jack after lockdown in that hotel for “weeks”...😂 Miss you guys so much, have you planned the schedule to come back?
Please don't ever leave China, because I just LOVE your China videos so much. Both of you have a fantastic, fun way of presenting and the Chinese content is endless as their culture and country are so vast. Will definitely be a subscriber for a long time to come!
Thank you very much. Unfortunately we have left but don’t worry we still have plenty of content to share and also plan on going back in the Autumn this year.
yes the French concession I remember staying there for a month and if I remember there is a road called Henshan Lu(Road) the party scene there is so so cool 😁😁😁
because they have a lot of privilege here in shanghai, even they can't speak mandarin. but imagine an asian people can't speak English and living in western country, people will ask them go back to their country.
Worked in Shanghai 5 days a week for 2 years. Weekends in Hangzhou though. Can you tell if this foreigner "loved" Shanghai? It doesn't have a Longjing, a Yanggongdi or Meijiawu, does it? It's got buildings though, lots of them. I suppose some foreigners like endless buildings. Good food and easy-going vibe in Shanghai, I must admit.
I like Lijiang ….a cute little town in the mountains with cute Tibetan country singers. Okokok…..Shanghai is modern etc etc. But most of Asia is super modern nowadays.
It is highly recommended that you go to the Nan shan Bamboo Sea in Jiangsu for a few days for a few days, and see wild giant pandas and taste bamboo delicacies
6:38 It's hilarious to see the 场所码 Venue Code and the notice of taking temperatures and checking 行程码 which doesn't even exist now. Shanghai suffered so much in the past year 2022 due to zero-covid policy, and it's really glad to see foreign and local residents are still loving it.
At what? For example London is the no. 1 job opportunities city globally, has way more museums (and better), ranked no. 1 for universities, ranked no. 1 for sport and entertainment, more Michelin star restaurants, more iconic events, larger financial city, more freedoms, lower income areas are 10 times nicer. Better for shopping , art, fashion, much more green space…. I’ll give you safer and horrendous looking futuristic buildings that little kid will like. London still ranked 9th safest. It’s for visitors.

no. Shanghai is not comparable with NYC…. Shanghai looks cheaper and their wages are 10 times cheaper than New Yorkers.

IMO Jack's History Corner brings the video up to a whole new level.
Not even laowai, I actually love Shanghai the most and I am a Chinese❤
I prefer Beijing as a northern Chinese , but Shanghai is beautiful too

What a wonderful history lesson! Thanks for taking us to those lovely places in Shanghai!
You guys are very familiar with Shanghai history😊
Great video! I’m in Nanjing and need to visit Shanghai more often! 🙂👍
Imagine how world would look beautiful if every culture mix or blended with each others 😊
i love shanghai because nico made a wonderful video about shanghai....❤😊❤😊🎉❤🎉❤❤😊🎉🎉
Love your work and I agree that Shanghai is such an amazing city. It’s my favourite destination 💯
I am learning mandarin thanks for adding the chinese subtitles. You have earned one subscriber. Kudos to this well-made vlog.
As native Chinese I love Shanghai most. Shanghai is amazing and convenient life style for Laowai as well.
Shanghai is the first city in the world to have over 1000 Starbucks last year. No wonder the economy is booming on hyperdrive.
yeah because they have 26M people with 6500sqkm size .
No just Starbucks, but most coffee shops of any type per capita in the world. I guess my people like to be caffeinated 😂
This has made me miss Shanghai so much! I loved the history lesson as well.
The night life, food, scenery! Different culture perhaps! There’s lots to see!🇨🇳
But sorry, the second emoji is representing Japan, Chinese people will feel little bit offense
鸟居是日本符号，它不能代表中国
Have only been in one city in China and that is Shanghai, feel like I made the right choice.
Remember I was so amazed by the skyline, up to then I hadn't seen anything like it.
I feel Shanghai’s skyline looks so cheap. Red,Blue… so many colors and so many ugly high rise buildkngs

Thank you so much that is very kind of you!
Another very high quality video! Much appreciated!
Great video~! I want to visit Shanghai one day, hopefully very soon.
ive been to shanghai 17 times in the last 7 years. it is incredible. Makes Tokyo, London, Paris, Hong Kong, New York look like outdated country towns.
Much prefer those other cities. Really liked Shanghai though. The lower income areas are horrendous. So soulless and rundown. . In those other cities that’s where you can still have a great time.
每个城市都有自己的特色，大家都很好
I don't agree with Tokyo and HK being outdated lolz.. the rest is understandable
Comparing capitals like that is not the a good idea, each city has different history and culture.
i hope you can visit beijing as well it has the most great history in this country❤ and its also my home
I had the big plate chicken in Shanghai, then went to Xinjian and had the same several times and the one in Shanghai was the best. Xinjian foods was incredibly tasty!
Shanghai combines Chinese tradition vide and modern style perfectly!!!!
Water tastes more expensive in Shanghai, 👍, I am impressed by your humorous style.
🤣 thanks a lot!

It has been 36 years since I left Shanghai. Thank you for your video introduction about Shanghai.
有时间可以回来看看 现在的中国已经不是原来那个贫穷落后的中国了 不要相信西方媒体 眼见为实
Come back to China now that it's no longer zero-covid. There's so much more to check out. One could probably spend an entire lifetime and come nowhere near seeing and experiencing everything this amazing country has to offer.
Shanghai is my hometown and it is a very beautiful city. I am very happy to see such an objective evaluation of Shanghai by international friends. Welcome to Shanghai!❤❤❤
Mostly because of good weather, like LA and the bay area
Glad to see Nico finally reunitied with Jack after lockdown in that hotel for “weeks”...😂 Miss you guys so much, have you planned the schedule to come back?
It's so happy for a Shanghainese like me to see such objective comments for the city I live. I really love my city after all
Hope will meet you when I get back there! See you around!
Are you guys just around panyu road, changning district?

Which city in China has the most foreigners currently?
Hong Kong is No.1 with over 300K, followed by Shanghai with over 200K.
