Blend of East and West: The city is famous for its unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures, evident in its architecture, food, and lifestyle. The Bund, a famous waterfront area, showcases colonial-era buildings alongside modern skyscrapers.
Record-Breaking Skyline: Shanghai boasts some of the world's tallest skyscrapers, including the Shanghai Tower, which is the second tallest building in the world as of my last update in April 2023.
Rich History: Shanghai has a rich history, from its origins as a small fishing village to its status as a major world city. It was a key city during the opium wars and later became a treaty port.

I actually really appreciate the street cleaners. Rather than using loud machinery they used the old school broom that’s quiet and no disturbance.
You talking about the annoying leaf blowers? That blows trash on you as you drive by 🙄
As well 'blow' into the air the dust, grit, sand and other particulates into the surrouunding area... which takes time to settle down and then disperses into a wider area.... I still admire the 'older' experienced past street cleaners skillfully using the 'adjustable' spread angle of the sapulili 'broom' (made of centre leaf stems of coconut trees (I think). They can really clear a wide road/side road with minimal/efficient use of physical strength/energy 🙏@@dy-no-mitedragon7759
In reality, there are three mechanized cleanings carried out every morning, noon, and evening, in addition to manual cleaning.
Government has provided Thousands Cleaning Workers have jobs and to solve unemployment problem !
Now they are all electric ⚡️ powered
Thanks for sharing this vibrant video of old Shanghai streets. Streets in China are filled with such quiet, peaceful, and comfortable life vibes, without drugs, homelessness, rats, zero-cost shopping scams, and the proliferation of firearms. There's no littering or public defecation, and these democratic values are truly admirable.
Including China 💪♥️🇨🇳
lack of diversity and freedom.
Wow, the staff at that bakery took off his gloves to put your buns into your bag. Amazing. I live in North America and staff at stores usually handle food and money with the same pair of gloves on. That guy in Shanghai should be given a raise!
上海对食品安全有非常高的要求，你描述的那种行为是不允许发生的会被投诉的。卫生部门会处理的。
Shanghai is incredible. I can't wait to visit next March with my daughter.
It really is!
Barrett, you really know how to do a tour of Shanghai ! I’ve never been disappointed by your video.
Oh, thank you so much..
Oh, thank you so much..
That bakery employee looks very handsome my sister says
Agree
确实
indeed😂😂
In addition to Shanghai, there are also 1, 2, 3 and even 4 and 5 tier cities such as Hangzhou, Suzhou, Ningbo, Nanjing, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Chengdu, Wuhan, Guangzhou, etc. The urban development in mainland China is very good, even in the fifth tier cities.
It's a very good introduction to Shanghai. It has been more than 10 years since my last visit. I missed the city so much. Plan to visit again next month since no visa is required now for Malaysian.
Recently I learnt China allows travellers 144 hours transit stay in some cities include Shanghai. I believe also Shenzhen and other big cities. Shanghai definitely is easily ‘adaptable’ to international travellers thus good choice for transit .
More than 20 cities in China allow 144 hours transit stay
I was at Shanghai in 2020 for my last destination tour (Yunnan Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-la -> Hunan Zhangjiajie -> Xian -> Shanghai). I stayed at apartment hotel about 300 hundred meters away from Xintiandi. Hope to visit Xintiandi again in near future.
Merry Christmas Lee, thank you for sharing about Shanghai. Nice neighbourhood.
Same to you!
Good video Lee; thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Happy Holidays, Lee! Thank you for a quick intro to Shanghai., a great international city! 🌲🌈☃️
What a lovely aesthetically pleasing place. Looks cosmopolitan - something for everyone. Can see why shanghai is a very popular place. Great, amazing quality video Lee, love how dynamic and versatile your video's are. 😊
Yes, Shanghai has something for everyone, and thank you for your kind comments..
I will go to Harbin next week. It's popular recently.
I've just got back from there, video coming soon, make sure you have good warm clothing, the temperature is very challenging.
Beautiful city like go again thanks
I like Xin Tian Di too but it was quite expensive even years ago. I prefer Beijing to be honest, a mix of modern and ancient buildings in the same area makes the place very interesting and attractive 😊. Thanks for showing us round Shanghai anway!
Foreign visitors to China easily fall into two groups: some prefer Shanghai because it is easier to adopt, and the other prefer Beijing because it offers "more authentic Chinese vibes". Your verdict puts you in the second group.
The Buddhist temple is beautiful, a blend of traditional in the bustling modern sky line.
Excellent bakery Lee.
I watched a street cleaner in Folkestone, Kent and as he went along tidying the street, people were walking past where he'd just been, randomly dropping rubbish.
That ice cream cone looked delicious! And the cascading water on the wall behind the ice cream server looked awesome whether that was actually water or just a visual effect ~
I think it was actually Chocolate.
@@BarrettYT that's even cooler!
Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and your family
Same to you!
Its just wonderful!
Beautiful and nice 👍🙏
Former French Concession. A sign saying it all at the entrance.
brill, 'think I 'm going to have to treat myself to...'☺
One wonderful thing about China is no drugs, no drunks, no tent cities.
Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄🎅🎄🎁
Shanghai is amazing！Nice video
I always wanted to return to Shanghai. This video has whetted my appetite to go again. I'm disappointed that China has not included visa waver program to the UK passport holders, but only to the Germans,French, Spanish, Italians and to the Malaysians.
Yeah, I was surprised that the UK wasn't included, maybe due to that group of anti China MP's, Duncan smith etc...
Ha! Considering the color revolution that your government has waged with the Us in Hong Kong, I hope they never give you visa waiver.
@@BarrettYT😂
@@BarrettYT Agree. Duncan Smith is an annoying muppet cos he got banned from China. His anti-China stance ruined it for the rest of us.
@@BarrettYT Not that many years ago the UK media was quite friendly towards China. I still remember the BBC series "The Story of China" with Michael Wood.
Santa is climbing up to the chimney top to come down the chimney with his presents.
Shanghai is amazing!
Brilliant. As always.
Thanks for the video!
Hope you had a lovely and yummy Christmas!
They should open more bakeries or cake shops in Shenzhen than coffee shops.
Super expensive city. Like your video.
Vraiment super !
wow
我非常尊敬up主，非常有涵养，也很幸运可以到处旅游 千山万水，以后也可以到厦门看看🎉🎉🎉
中国实在是太大了，各种风情和美食，我觉得可以逛半辈子
Good morning, Lee. in this video, one can see the French architecture, aromatic baguettes, mouth-watering ice cream, rich wines and even an oversized Santa. But alas, where are the authentic Emmanuel and Brigittes'. Are there any French population still living in this area ? Thank you, Lee, for just the light and fun video for Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
Sir, it's the 21st century.
OBVIOUSLY YOU're under a rock and have no clue THAT IT IS 2023 AND NOT 1923........
Shanghai is such a nice city.
Merry Christmas! 圣诞快乐！🎅🎄🎉
Thank you, Merry Christmas to you too.
Good job, mate.
Nice one mate. I was there in 2005 just a few days. Beautiful place.
You need to go back, a lot has changed since 2005..
Meanwhile in Some Western high streets, it’s boarded up, emptied & damages windows from looters & in USA supermarkets are closings in some cities, due to Blatant GRAB & Carry (no payment required) shopping.... 😂
Nice.
❤
❤❤❤
😄😄😄
How is the weather in Shanghai? Cannot wait to visit this beautiful city next year.
It's a little cold in Winter. Try to visit in Spring or Autumn, it's wonderful weather at that time... Not too hot, not too cold.
I like Gaoan Road（高安路) best, welcome to SH
That depends on where you reside and come from if you visit Shanghai, if you are from Canada or Russian, Shanghai is balmy even in December, normally the coldest of the year. If you are from tropic places such as Malaysia, well, Shanghai winter can be a bit chilly this time of the year.
Shanghai has two months of hot weather, two months of cold weather, and eight months of comfortable climate.
你是很会旅行的人呢。 会感受这个城市。
If you don't mind, I sincerely hope you can change the term '法国租界' (French Concession) to '前法国租界' (Former French Concession) because even local Shanghai residents do not commonly refer to that area as the 'French Concession' in their daily lives. Of course, how you choose to refer to it is your prerogative.
@@fenxian I'm a local too. I grew up by the Huangpu River. As a native of Huangpu District, we don't refer to it that way. In the environment I grew up in, no one has ever called that area the French Concession. We only say 'This used to be the French Concession.' It's okay if you don't mind, it's your choice.
Nevermind
您说的有道理
我做为中年上海人，还是把那片叫法租界的😅…
@@lilianw2504 那看来还是有细分差别的😂我80后在老黄浦区长大从没听认识的人直接称呼那里叫法租界
Lol! The ice cream must be good just by looking at your facial expressions.
It was!
Colonies: where people were treated like second class citizens in their own countries. Europeans have a completely different perspective since they were the colonial masters.
面包小哥有点帅哈哈
确实
For those followers who live in one of those western countries, one of the most common questions would be: where is the homeless people? Short answer is there is none. This might be a bit hard to understand for you fellas, but China is a what you call "communist country" or "socialist country" as it calls itself, it means China is not as "free" as you are in your country, including you don't have the freedom to be a homeless. If you camp or sleep on the street like you do in Los Angeles, social workers and police will come to rescue and put you into one of those temp centers and call your families. They even manage to give you a job.
Merry Christmas and wish you all the best...
Same to you!
I ❤SH
👏👏👏👏👍🇨🇳👍👏👏👏👏
提起「租界」這一個國恥的名詞，我們應該永存於心❤
历史不能忘记，但不是一个永远的疤痕，乐观点伙计。
@8:19, dude, you’re going to gain 100 pounds eating that pasta!
Lol
up主的内容都很丰富
看起來好像是已前的，霞飛路法租界一帶的高級住宅區。
🙂🙏😀🙏👍🙏🙂
It's obvious when a Chinese visit this place and ask why it looks French, the answer is "colonialism"
did the french colonize China at some point?
Shanghai was even dubbed before as Paris of Asia.
打卡地😂
Did you filmed yourself crossing the street? time marker 7:32
Yes, indeed I did.
这是9月的存货吧? 现在上海听说只有4°
Was in Mid November....
I wonder how to define “many foreigners”. I think the Thai island Phuket has more foreigners than the entire Chinese mainland.
Foreigners rushing to Shanghai? I read in some articles that a lot of foreigners have left the place.
Many did leave during covid, however seems to me more and more are now coming here.
现在再称呼为“法租界”区已经是非常不合时宜的了。
现在叫衡复风貌区
I heard that CZcams is illegal in China. Is that not true??
Not illegal but restricted. Using VPNs however is perfectly legal to access and use such content. No one really give a damn if you are accessing CZcams on the street or at home.
你儿子去哪了？
Oli now lives in the Philippines.
@0:58, many people ignorant of the history of the Foreign Quarters in China, especially in Shanghai call these neighborhoods with Western European architect quaint, beautiful, and exquisite. Those who have read the history of the Foreign Quarters know of an uglier dimension hidden within these buildings. Foreign Quarters such as as the Bund were sectors inhabited by the Western White Europeans, the Chinese were banned except as laborers. Within these sectors the Western White Europeans established a sovereign governance with its own police, army, laws, court, business, and politicians. Essentially, Apartheid in China. While the America passed the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1898, the Western White Europeans enacted and enforced Apartheid laws against the Chinese in China.
Please don't walk in the middle of the road :(
It's okay, it's China and not merikkka. He won't get done for Jay walking...😊
@@obiwan5781 He should get done. Jay walking is disgusting
Please stop eating sweet stuff, especially anyone over 30, its cancer food .
上海消费太高不适合生活还是在广州生活成本低
高档地区广州也不会低。上海消费低的地方多的是。
普通市民也不会在网红景点买菜啊
既然知道有那么多老外跑过去，那你还能做出什么新意出来？
一千个人有一千个哈姆雷特，信息茧房的时代无论多少老外过去，去过多少次，都能有新的流量受众，都有新人愿意看，你这么苛刻给别人频道贡献很多了？
真没礼貌
The cringe is real
To the Chinese, concessions in China are a constant humiliating reminder how weak and backward China was.
Let me tell you a story you never heard of. Once upon a time my Shanghai girlfriend boost what French mansion her great grandfather used to own but it was confiscated by the Communists. Little did she know my Beijing girlfriend knew nothing about that because she never needed to pay attention to some girls from Shanghai. What’s more, I tried to talk to their sons in California and London to return to their moms while my next girlfriends send their kids to Australia and Belgium.
your girlfriend's family was mafia group of shanghai at that time ,so the government hv to crackdown the gansters for the people
You should be able to have a good career in the Hollywood or some America News Corps.
And your Shenzhen girlfriend has slammed her door on your swelled-head on your way out of China.
@@songbai2322perhaps, these Hollywood writers are hired by Genocide Joe. Many of them were on strike months ago so they are probably in dire need of work.
