作为一个中国人，我认为这个视频拍的很好，很真实，甚至超越了许多youtuber的拍摄手法，感谢作者❤ As a Chinese, I think this video is very good and realistic, even beyond the shooting techniques of many youtubers. Thanks to the author.
Really enjoyed your narration and the way you edited it, and thank you for presenting the world with a real China, not the stereotypes that are maligned and vilified every single day in the Western media ❤
Been watching your videos since Japan. I have wondered why you don't get more views given the effort you put into them. Glad this blew up a bit for you!
As a Chinese. I strongly recommend all the foreign travellers use MetroMan and RailMan in China. They all come with English versions. With it, you can get across the world-class Chinese public transport system, which also includes HKMTR and Taipei MRT.
Man, I really like your style. The right pace, in editing and storytelling and your feet on the ground walkabout. Not overly adorned with music, soundtrack (zero bad music to boot). A good blend of travel docuseries and first person vlog. There’s a journalistic quality to it all. And also importantly, you come off as a respectful and decent person - much appreciated in our current political climes. Good job 👍
Excellent shooting and editing skills are like watching a science and education channel. Thank you for making the scenery of my motherland an excellent video!
Shanghai is an international metropolis. If you want to experience a more pure Chinese life, you should go to Chengdu and don’t forget the world-class scenic spot near Chengdu: Jiuzhaigou Valley
19:19 People's Park was converted from the property of former Shanghai Race Club in 1952. Prime location for sure in the then International Settlement. BTW Apple Maps works just fine in China, making it top choice for iPhone users.
I will be there in January/February and am so excited! I have heard the cars and scooters are really quite since so many are electric... love the video...
The most populated city in China is actually Chongqing, with over 40MM residents, Shanghai is actually No. 2 in China. Shanghai is only one of the so-called tire one cities, in China. But it is perhaps the most famous city in China. This is just in case you have not done enough homework before arriving in China...
I will definitely try the Wonton and the noodles you ate in those small restaurants. They look so delicious and make me mouthwatering. I didn’t know these local delicacies before I watched your videos, though I had lived in Shanghai for more than 15 years😢
I had ExpressVPN when I was in China, and it worked well with my China mobile SIM card as well as my home WiFi. I think it may have something to do with the protocol of carrier that you choose.
It was pleasant to be taken with you along the journey in Shanghai. Your introduction of Shanghai and its food was so interesting and informative. Thank you for the wonderfully made video that was really entertaining.
Man you are one of the best video makers on TH-cam. I believe soon this Channel will be on the biggest on TH-cam. Cause you over quality with with information plus the real life of people in each country. I usually watch your videos on 85" 8k tv which gives an amazing experience with all sound effects. Keep going and we all gonna support you. I recommend your channel to all friends and family ❤
Chongqing is more populated than Shanghai, and shenzhen is more technologically modern than shanghai. But Shanghai is the financial center of China. You should be able to get by with English in shanghai since it’s the most cosmopolitan, international city in china, in that it has the most foreigners so the local shops cater to English clientele.
Actually Chongqing is the most populated city in China, you can also feel a very exotic unique sense just like Dubai and Singapore there, because Chongqing is the mountain city of China, it is a giant vertical dungeon, a real steel forest, the real CyberPunk.
I'm a Singaporean and I went to Chongqing last month (although only for a few days) and I can verify this! The verticality does remind me of CyberPunk--very cool. I also went to watch the play "Chongqing·1949". The 360-degree rotating stage blew my mind, really. I have many goosebumps during the 2-hour show. Unfortunately, non-Chinese speakers wouldn't be able to understand the play as the language spoken are in Chinese throughout. Best performance I've seen, no doubt, coming from someone who watches a lot of world-class plays. The whole production can't be praised enough.
The area of Chongqing is 10 times that of Shanghai and 7 times that of Beijing. The population density is not as good as that of Shanghai and Beijing. There is no comparison, because Shanghai does not classify the surrounding countryside as a city.
@@seafood_hater I went to Singapore when I was 15, it is one of best cities I have ever been to among Asia and Europe! You have the real fusion of culture truly without racism(despite some old Chinese immigrants racism to Chinese), your food is fantastic, and the bird garden, orchid garden, aquarium and zoo are the best in the world! Now I am in US where I see corruptions and chaos everywhere, truly the future is in our Asia.
Great video and narration, I like tat you are filming anything and not just tourist spots like many One thing I've noticed lately on many youtube videos, it seems that Shanghai and most China cities have less smog... Cheers
Very nice video. FYI, Er Guang means slap in the face, they name it because it's too good, even you been slap in the face, you still refuse to stop eating.😂
Shanghai is definitely super modern but I don't know if you have seen Southern China where I am from. Cities like Hong Kong and Shenzhen are crazy too. I live in the West and I say I haven't seen a city as modern as Shenzhen yet.
Shopping malls with many luxury brands altogether can be found in all tier one cities, and there are usually more than one such mall in one city. I know that Shanghai has at least 3 and Beijing as well. Also you can find such shopping area in tier two cities like Shenzhen and Chengdu. Luxury brands actually reported the biggest revenue in 2022 from Sichuan province (where chengdu and Chong Qing are), not even Shanghai. He needs to travel more in China. Also the hole in the wall food places in China are not disappearing, they are everywhere. Just get off big streets, you will find them all over China from Beijing to tiny towns.
Great insights to Shanghai but the speed you are turning around with the camera angles (e.g. 360 views or changing focal point) could be better as it gave me motion sickness. Hope this helps and keep up with the awesome work!
Great production and editing! And I truly admire your courage and skills navigating through a foreign language city! The second food you got from an alleyway is called 蛋饼 or 鸡蛋煎饼 (ji dan jian bing). It's a popular choice of eat on the way breakfast (maybe comparable to hotdog in NY) and it may surprise you that it doesn't have a long history in Shanghai. The food is originally from Beijing and Tianjin in north China and only got popular in the 1990s since the economy took off and large amount of migrants hit Shanghai from all over China. Shanghai is in many ways a very modern city of China, not only in this century but also the last, and the one before that. The cultural belief and motto is, "the ocean receives hundreds of rivers". And the name means "going to the ocean". Local population is refreshed constantly with migrants, seeking opportunities and a better life.
Thank you very very much for your videos, I haven't gone there, now you show me what Shanghai is 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
See you 1st time in China, navigaing so well with Alipay, not disoriented. I don't understand why some complain so much about cashless society. Your video encourage me local long gone from the place I grewup to learn electronic method of payment😅
Love your channel. I am glad i discovered your channel. Love the quality of video. Shanghai looks so gorgeous. Too bad, you don’t speak any Chinese like so many other foreigners. You would enjoy your stay in China much more if you speak the language. By the way, I am from Taipei and I think Taipei looks so disorganized and rundown. Taipei looks like a third tear city in Mainland China. People square in Shanghai is like the Central Park in NYC. I love Shanghai where you can enjoy high end life style and normal life style.
I remember last time I asked my friend who is SH local, what was the average price to buy apartments in those old buildings in Puxi, the older side of SH. Oh my lord......
Hi mate, sorry for your experience in old town, of course, they don't speak much English lol the new town and financial centre, most people speak english and actually a lot of foreigners. I always take foreign friends to Shanghai, so they would have the the best experience. I really miss Shanghai, hope you had the best time!
Thanks! There is an online application that you fill out, print and physically bring to a Chinese embassy or consulate in the US, and drop it off along with your passport and fee. Come back a few days later and get your visa and passport!
Thankyou for making a video and showing people the real look.and side of China. I was born in Shanghai but moved to the Western world since 9 yrs old. I'm now only too farmiliar with how the western media tries its best to show their people only the negative news and things about China.
Shanghai is far from the most modern city in China. I lived in Shanghai for 21 years and I still envy Shenzhen for its super modern city. Shanghai in these few years has been falling behind cities hangzhou and shenzhen in term of modernity and business friendliness. Those two city are the place to go for the best and brightest who seek to build billion dollar high tech business.
and don't forget chongqing, its cyber style surprises me. i want to go there very much, but also a little worried that i might get lost, cuz it is a mountain city, very 3D, and i have a terrible sense of direction.
I've visited China four times and saw different regions. Every time I've visited... I've seen big improvements. I would even be bold enough to say that the major cities in China are now overall cleaner looking than the major cities in the US.have fun in China and God bless you.

重庆没那么多，31B。但是重庆面积是上海的十几倍
Chongqing has been annexing the surrounding countryside, so it has a large base. It is the largest city in China.
而且中国最现代化的城市应该是深圳吧
