China is a great place to travel. Highly developed even in the small cities, cheap, great transit, amazing food, and clean pretty much everywhere in 2024. Hope you can come back to China and spend more time there
appreciate that u add such elegant bgm to match with the elegant traditional buildings. very thoughtful and enjoyed it, nice music taste👍can't wait for ur future China tour and more delicate videos🥰
I used to live in Shanghai and there's a few ways to cross the river. The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel (overrated, don't do it), ferry for 2 yuan (fun when it's not cold) or 1 stop on the metro (easiest and fastest). Changing lines on the metro is extremely easy, just follow the signs. Shanghai metro is the best in the world. Enjoy!
yeah, I eventually manged to cross the river, but changin the lines in the metro is still a mystery to me :D i thought I got it, I followed the sighns to the other line and suddelny I was out of the metro system and had to buy a new ticket :D
@@LexUniversehaha that was probably b/c you are in a special station which you have to walk out of the station to change line. Most tranfer stations do not need you walk out of it.
Hey man . All chinese cities are modern , clean and very safety . This the true . True you can not see it in Western media when they speak about china . Have a nice time .
if you know Shanghai, the ground he covers regardless of having a guide or not, involves a lot of walking. I was amazed he could visit all those locations in one day.@@kind03cn
All taxi are electric. Cashless. Dirtless. Fancy cars every few minutes. It’s a culture shock for me when I visited… 16 yrs of lies from school in the states. It’s exactly the opposite it’s like the future today.

Hello, I was recommended your vlog by chance. You look a bit like the male protagonist LOL from Mars Rescue. And I wish you a happy time playing in China. If possible, you can go to Beijing or Lanzhou/Xi'an to take a look in the future. It has a long history, is very beautiful, and has the characteristics of a central city,
i would actually really like to visit Chongqing, but generally I would like to see more from historical China and more from the nature :) and also Lhasa... that is my life long dream :)
If you are interested in learning about China's progress and history, please provide some travel advice: If you want to explore 3,000 years of history, go to Xi'an. If you want to explore 1,000 years of history, go to Beijing. If you want to explore 100 years of China from colonization to modernization, you can go to Shanghai. If you want to see a city plan built on a mountain with modern infrastructure. For the dream city built in 40 years, let's go to Chongqing. If you want to see the future, go to Shenzhen. This is a very rough and comprehensive statement. If we continue to add the different natural landscapes and biomes provided by China, the list will be endless, because China is very large, with too many beautiful places and many beautiful cities and natural landscapes. What is the best of all this? No matter where you go in China, as long as it is where people live, you are absolutely safe! You are free to explore! China is safe 24 hours a day, bars and various entertainment venues are open 24 hours a day, and restaurants are open 24 hours a day! Don't worry about being shot🇨🇳
The maglev train doesn't go to all the way to the center, you have to transfer to metro. But it seriously shortens the trip. But get the AlliPay app beforehand to buy the metro ticket
@@LexUniverse you mean the ppl in the ticket office right? that's how employees in the sated owned company behave in China. It makes you feel like you have to beg them for the service.
Welcome to China. Alipay can be bound to overseas credit cards. Then you may scan QR code in any scene in any cities of China, or taking the subway or bus.
yes, I know now :) I tried WeChat first, but I couldn't bind it to my card, but Alipay made my life so much easier :) It is actually amazing how you can go to the smallest little shop and still be able to pay cashless... )
well, the it is a lot more colourful that everyone shows it... and very clean and people are quite helpful even though they spoke very little english, it wasn't dificult to get by on the most basic level :) and also that my european debit card was next to useless :D
I would recom'd somewhere in southern part of china such as li jiang in yunnan province or guilin in guangxi province but the prerequisite would be you need to know some chinese coz these places are not very international you know what i meant@@LexUniverse
true. but seeing it without context of the next of the country, which I didn't visit, I really liked it :) I am not saying the rest of China ist the same
Have you ever been to China? How did you like it? What didn't you like?
Let me know in the comments below :)
BTW, It is pronounced as Shang Hai, without the g sound in the second syllable.
I visit shanghai regularly, that was a long walk in the morning btw

China is so modern, safe, clean, fun and organized - it is almost Utopian futuristic!
There is no perfect utopia, but China is far better than reported by western media.
true :)
Wow, China is allot more modern and developed than I expected! Our media in the West always tells us China is collapsing.

Impressed by cleanliness everywhere.

Shanghai will always be there. Some people are willing to believe what others say, and some are willing to explore for themselves.

欢迎博主来到我的家乡上海，第一站世纪大道旁边有科技馆也是不错的选择，上海是个文化底蕴不算很长的现代化国际大都市，但是上海的特色我个人喜欢去各种博物馆，比如历史博物馆 上海博物馆 科技博物馆 军事博物馆 玻璃博物馆 汽车博物馆 火车博物馆 电影博物馆 自然博物馆…
知道科技馆现在关着的吗。
上海文化底蕴不算很长？笑死，你先去查查上海的历史、申城这个名字的由来，崧泽文化是良渚文化的前身知道吗？人家故意贬低说上海是小渔村你就真以为是小渔村了？
上海崧泽遗址出土6000年前的水井，是中国最古老的直筒形水井，表明上海是中国最先发明找水和储水先进技术的地区，无论是吴越文化还是江南文化，上海都是非常有代表性的。

来中国一定要做的三件事，观看一下中国的现代化城市，去北京看一次升旗仪式，然后就是不停的吃，吃什么？吃正宗的中餐和小吃，然后长胖10公斤，回家减肥
虛假的繁華
不否认。😂全世界都这样。但这里至少虚假繁华 很多地方只有虚假😅
上海不好玩兒！不如去杭州西安成都重慶南京蘇州哈爾濱
很多老外的第一站都是上海，上海很好，可是中国还有更多更有特色的城市或地方，比如杭州，四川，呼伦贝尔，西藏，义乌，云南大理等等，这些地方相比上海来说，上海只是个巨大的现代化都市，并没有什么可玩性。
上海很适合当老外来华的第一站，有传统的也有现代的，好似欧洲的伦敦巴黎，中国太大了，不好好规划行程会很容易花费太多时间
