Several old spots in Shanghai are experiencing a revival since the release of the first television series by Hong Kong film director Wong Kar-wai. Blossoms Shanghai, which began airing on December 27, 2023, has led to fans and tourists flocking to Huanghe Road, where a major scene featured in the show is located. A temporary traffic light has since been installed to better control the flow of crowds and vehicles that have come to visit iconic scenes from the show.

I remember Shanghai in the 90s. Yes, it was so dynamic, bursting with optimism and a desire to live life to the fullest. It was like every day presented new opportunities to reinvent yourself. But it was also much less developed than now. There were still slums in many parts of the city, two girls I knew literally grew up in a shack by the side of my street. They didn't even have running water. But it was also the beginning of Shanghai's wild nightlife, with a few pretty trendy clubs, mostly on South Maoming Rd. Nobody ate hotpot (火锅), or malatang (麻辣烫), or ganguo (干锅). There were no Starbuck's, no Burger King, no XinTianDi, no pedestrian street on Nanjing Rd. But it was a wild time!
That was so long ago. China's rapid development is insane that you can find so many things discovered and many new places opened in just weeks, but months later some those places close and new one replace. It's like an everchanging cities.
I am surprised by this. I thought shanghai was always in style. In my opinion shanghai is one of the most iconic chinese cities. I want to go there and visit.
shanghai has been out of style for a long time thanks to ccp anti-espionage law. it's slowly becoming a ghost city.
I was there two weeks ago for a tour trip. Definitely worth a visit!
"In the Mood for Love" was one of the best films I've watched in my life. I still can't take the music or scenes out of my head after all these years.
I loved his movies from two decades ago.
Wow, 🇨🇳's Shanghai so pretty and modern🤗

肥媽：你是celebrity. 不應大聲疾呼北上購物，應該低調行事, 連你都不在香港消費，怎樣將香港的經濟復甦呢？對唔住我直言了。
I tried to watch wong kai wars movies and they are boring AF.
you're boring af
Bro dont have taste 😭😭
you don't have artistic sensibility
series promoting neoliberal decadence.
you are pretty neoliberal compared to people from 2000 years ago.
It's a masterpiece
Wong Kat Wai is much much overrated.
No
Protagonist doesn't look Chinese, and the setting doesn't look Chinese either.
The actor is Han Chinese, but just doesn’t look like the stereotypical image of what you think a Chinese should look like.
@@asj685 thank you for reinforcing my point. yes, he doesn't look like (the average) Chinese. he looks mixed (with white).
(East) Asian male's media representation is in a sorry state, even Asian films/directors themselves don't put Asian male's faces in major roles.
@@hanoimuathu123there are billions of people in China. There is 1 ignorant you. What does an average Chinese look like? Doesnt look Chinese your face! You are just stup. Id. He looks very Chinese.
Vietnamese don't know East Asia, people with high nose bridge and sharp features are common. The setting is also Chinese, 90's Shanghai. Not ancient China.
@@tobacco118 *colonized part of Shanghai/China
Why Chinese movie,series worse in the world no real viewers for their movies😢😮
Says who? Watching the series, most of the comments watching it coming from a certain south asian country well known for their uses of cowdungs
Many Hindi-dubbed Chinese movies with millions of viewers, they're not even famous movies. Chinese drama, ten of millions Indian viewer. Worldwide, most famous Asian actors are Chinese like Jackie Chan. Nobody knows Indian actor.
@@malala6750 Jackie Chen is hong konger😊😊
@@jiit-6eh Hong Konger are Chinese citizens. get yourself a bettter education
There're also Jet Li, Zhang Yizi....\
