  • Exploring deep into the backstreets of Shanghai, China.
    Watch as Jack, Paige and Max dive deeper into the backstreets of Shanghai show you where the real Shanghainese are living. During this video we spend time getting to know more about the Longtang's and the people who live within them. We meet Chinese grandmas and discuss life living in a Longtang that has been under renovation for the last 4 months with their neighbours. The Longtang's are alleys full of surprises and can't believe our eyes (or ears) when we stumble across a Chinese speaking bird... We head deeper and deeper into the backstreets when we find a convenience store selling everything you may need and more. After a long afternoon of exploring, we head to a local Shanghainese restaurant to have lunch, enjoying Vitasoy, Dayao soda orange, and some delicious food!

    🚨STATEMENT 🚨 This video IS NOT a negative video. I have already seen too many incorrect comments claiming that I have bad intentions. Just like my Beijing Hutong video I want to show the real everyday life of the people who live in side streets of these megacities. These are the great people whose cultures, life-long work, and heritage, these cities have been built on and instead of showing the Bund of Shanghai, I want to show the real everyday people.
    The construction work on the Grandma's home in NOT negative and in the video, if you watch it, you will see that I am curious as to what is happening so instead of assuming, we actually ask a construction worker who informs us of their government-led project to renovate the exterior of these 100-year-old heritage houses to preserve the identity of the Long Tangs for years to come. I said I feel sorry for the grandma, but this doesn't mean I think that the work shouldn't happen. If MY grandma wanted work done on her house, like a new roof for example, even if she asked for it to be done and paid for it to be done, I would still feel sorry for her that her peaceful home had loud noises and construction men all over it - it's part of life but I will not be criticized for showing empathy to an elderly woman who's residence has become noisy. Again, that doesn't mean I somehow disagree with the construction.
    I love China and especially showing the everyday people of this country, that's what I'm passionate about. I wouldn't try my best to learn Mandarin and even some Shanghainese, just to go and make a negative video about that place - that would be stupid.

      你误会了,其实是翻译稍微有些误解或者是你们用英语的表达方式和中国人用中文的表达方式,会产生日常思维和语境上的不同,通过翻译,双方理解会产生歧义,这其实是二种语言的表达方式不同而产生的差异误解。很多中国人帮助你解释,其实你要理解,因为中国🇨🇳长期被西方媒体的造谣抹黑,比如bbc,cnn……这些垃圾媒体,它们毫无底线的造谣中国和欺骗西方读者,造成中国在国际读者中太多的负面形象。所以当你的视频中,可能出现一些翻译中的小误解,大量中国人就会帮助自己的国家进行解释,他们其实并不是针对你,而是怕其它读者误会,因为我们已经被这些西方垃圾媒体撒谎欺骗而害惨了,这些流氓媒体用谎言给西方读者洗脑来讨厌中国,而西方政府也在故意纵容和资助这些媒体。因为在中国,如果哪个媒体报道虚假新闻或造谣,将会收到法律的处罚,因为中国社会是有道德底线的。再一个,中国媒体大多数对西方的报道,长期以来,尤其是自媒体,相对来说,都是正面的,美好的。只有近几年,由于中国的强力崛起,西方政府莫名其妙的感到恐惧,它们开始疯狂的抹黑和造谣中国,中国的一些自媒体也逐渐转变态度,开始报道一些西方的阴暗面,但是都是真实的,极少出现造谣欺骗的内容。但大多数中国人还是本能的认为,西方社会是美好的,因为他们大多数人没有出国的经历,对西方美好的想象,还停留在上个世纪中国比较落后,西方比较发达的印象之中。而面对这些无耻的西方媒体,中国人已经受够了!所以才会帮助你解释一些小误解,完全没有针对你们个人,大家都知道,你们是好人,拍了真实的视频,给大家看,来消除对中国🇨🇳的误解

    What sets your vlogs apart from other youtubers is that your focus is not on the usual places of interest, which honestly is flooding all over youtube. Rather, your angle is more down-to-earth in trying to understand more about the locals' mundane lifestyle.
    Since you can't please everyone and if some people can only accept 100% positive things but not a fair bit of negative albeit you're showing the raw footage / truth, then so be it. Do maintain your unique style.. Keep it up!

    Renovation of old district is a headache of big cities in China, especially in Shanghai, because the shanghaines are extremely good at bargaining for their own benefits but at what costs to the city and general public? Not their problem.

Brings back my childhood merories watching your video. And about the strawberries, there is a very short period of time in late spring every year where you can get fresh in-season stawberries. They are jucy red and sweet, a little mushy and can quickly go off. But these strawberries beat those big whitish plasticky flavourless ones you get from the greenhouse the rest of the year by a mile. They are the only straberries I eat. We don't use "chi le ma" as greeting anymore. They was at least 40 years in the past. Please don't say that again, it's a little cringy. Great video as usual.

You can see college students from various provinces in China, and you can freely enter and exit these universities. And there is a beautiful European style town

The Huangpu district (which is very close to the Bund) has a number of very popular theaters. If you're interested, I can recommend you a few shows

    In Shanghai, these older buildings generally lack independent kitchen and bathroom spaces. Typically, 3 to 4 families share one kitchen, creating significant fire hazards. Very few people in this old city area have independent bathrooms, and the vast majority of residents need to deposit their feces in containers at home and transport them to designated locations outside to dispose of them. If you are lucky enough that your house was included in the government's old city renovation plan, the government will buy your house at a price higher than the usual market rate (commonly known as demolition compensation). The government's prerequisite for successfully demolishing the old city area is to obtain the consent of the residents in two consecutive votes. In the first vote, more than 90% of the residents need to approve the government's demolition plan for it to pass. In the second vote, 85% of the residents must agree to the government's compensation plan (i.e., be satisfied with the amount of compensation) for it to pass. Only after both votes pass can the demolition be officially initiated. The compensation plan for each renovation site is publicly available and can be checked online. On average, each household can receive compensation of 4 to 5 million RMB (equivalent to 550,000 to 690,000 USD), with the amount depending on the size of your house. Residents can choose to accept the government's proposal to purchase houses specifically designated for demolition households in the suburbs of Shanghai (at a lower price than the market rate), or they can choose to purchase commercial housing themselves.
    However, whether such a situation can happen where you live entirely depends on urban planning and local government finances. In other words, if you're "unlucky," you might not be able to benefit from such policies for many years. Just like the elderly woman in the video who has lived there her whole life, their housing conditions might be better than the ones mentioned earlier, but not by much. Fortunately, if your place doesn't get to enjoy the aforementioned policies, the city government will still regularly allocate funds to repair public parts of your house, including corridors, exterior walls, and surrounding infrastructure, just like what's happening in the video.
    Now, this is my personal opinion. As a tourist, it is natural to want to see some of the city's history preserved, but only the original residents can truly understand the inconvenience of living in these old buildings. For the original residents, if your home undergoes a significant renovation project, it means you've missed out on a government-led demolition project (typically, when they want to improve their living conditions by selling their houses to buy others, they can only sell for 2-3 million RMB. This price is far lower than the compensation offered by the government). In other words, it means they won't receive a generous demolition compensation agreement for at least several years. This is why the elderly woman in the video doesn't seem particularly happy. For someone her age, she might not to see the next large-scale old city renovation project.

    It looks like you stepped into the inner-city slums, which are called 棚户区. Those rundown houses are very cramped, and most units don't have a bathroom or kitchen. Typically, 3-4 people live in a 300 square foot space. the irony is that there are always some upscale apartments next to those neighborhoods, which cost millions of dollars.
