First Impressions of SHANGHAI! China’s Most Futuristic City Is This the Real China?

欢迎来到中国❤

去新疆吧，新疆真的很美

The crab XiaoLongBao has vinegar with ginger because the crab is cold character and the ginger is hot character, it is used for neutralise the cold of many crab food. If someone has bad stomach or cold body character, they will feel pain of their stomach after having seafood. In Chinese food culture, foods all have their characteristics, one is cold and another is hot. The cooking ways are also diverse due to finding the best way to balance food’s characters, and ensure the good taste at the same time. For example, eating steamed crab is usually with the companion of ginger vinegar and wine, using hot things to balance the cold. The lamb is hot, so we usually using boiling lamb, cold water to balance the hot. If ppl want to east lamb bbq, usually ppl will drink chrysanthemum tea with crystal sugar, using cold balance the hot. If ppl continue to eat lamb in days, they will get nosebleeds, that means too much hot and it increases hot character of the body, unbalanced situation. Another example, RouJiaMo in XiAn, a baked bread with boiled pork in it. Many ppl like it. Pork is cold, we put several kinds of hot seasonings when we boil it, and then the baked bread by fireplace is hot. So we combine these two together. It is a tasty but healthy combination. There are so many examples that I can’t list all. Anyway. Just like Ying and Yang of TaiJi, to keep balance and being healthy, that is our food philosophy.

I had traveled NewYork、 Tokyo 、Seoul、Singapore、 Bangkok and Kualalumpur，and i hope visit London ，your hometown😊
form Shanghai

Where you are in Shanghai is basically flat, as opposed to the other city you mentioned. So, your viewplane in Shanghai is limited by the buildings. The illusion is that it is smaller.

I guess you miss those small ancient townships such as Lijiang, Dali of Yunan, Shangri-la, Yangshuo, Xishuangbanna, Furong ancient town and Fenghuang ancient town, and Zhangjiajie. These small ancient towns are way more beautiful, great nature, diverse culture.

Chinese here. Subscribed for British accent lol, but mostly I enjoy the calm, genuine vibe in your video without diatribe & hubbub. glad that you enjoyed your trip so far. I am working and living in XinJiang region right now, summer is perfect for travel ( none Urumqi areas), definitely worths a visit. cheers.

U r right changquan is larger by area and pupulation both.😅😂

Call me sentimental, I do prefer the colonial side. But , I did love all the food/snacks you had Joey 👍. Another well done vlog, so well put together

你的视频画质比我关注的其他旅游博主都要好，请问是用什么设备拍摄的？😊

Some people argue that Shenzhen is the most futuristic city in China.‌

The Top 5 world's fastest elevators:

1) Shanghai Tower: 73.8 km/h
2) CTF Finance Centre (Guangzhou): 72.0 km/h
3) Chow Tai Fook Centre (Tianjin) 60.6 km/h
4) Taipei 101: 60.6 km/h
5) Burj Khalifa: 36.0 km/h

Yes that’s one of the ways to eat siu lung bao. But how i eat it is to bite off the top a little bit let it cool down a little. Then pour a little vinegar into it. Then eat it whole dumplings all at once. Try this method next time ✌️

Shenzen is the most modern (completed) city in China

Love your china series and very interisting story. Can you make more
Video in shanghai. City of Shanghai is modern and advance city.
Lots of tallest buildings and skyscraper.
Your great video. Stay safe.. 👍

The video has a good rhythm and a pure British accent that sounds very comfortable. I watched it over and over again to learn English, and I really enjoyed watching it.

pan fried dumpling(its actually bun but whatever) is defo the best dish in shanghai!!!

chili with 生煎包 ? Aya ! ...

If you poke a hole on the side and dip it, all your juice is going to leak out into the dipping….. you are supposed to bite off the top and add vinegar into the bao and slurp the juice and eat the bao at the same time.

Appreciate the clear lens and videography.

your videos stands out。great footage， great editing。

What a good looking bloke :) Hope you enjoyed china

As you see：D，China alomost take some crazy for anyone which came here，hope you come back and explore more cities in China.nice videos and channel❤

Traditional parents in China pay more attention to their children's marriage, so a "blind date corner" will be born for parents to communicate. But this is no longer popular among the younger generation, and my friends around me, including myself, can't understand this.Fortunately, my parents don't like to get involved in their children's marriage in this way. They think that this "clearly marked" behavior of choosing a spouse is disrespectful to both parties.

👍❤️👏🌹💪🇨🇳

"wonder how they tastes"🤣🤣It must be the best among ducks. After all, it has a crown.👑

好看，好玩，好吃的美食还有很多，欢迎你下次再来！

That Chinese girl is pretty. Ask her out.

In People's Park, parents are matchmaking potential future spouses for their mature, single children who have long struggled to find a boyfriend or girlfriend.

You must visit Yu Garden after sunset.

I traveled 3,000 km in China, this country is exceptionally clean and friendly. I love China.

I'm from Taipei, and to be honest, the cityscape of Shanghai is more advanced and much better than Taipei's.

欢迎你随时再来中国玩❤Although there are nothing delicious food in Beijing😂i still hope you can come to visit the capital of China😊

天哪，你真的什么都敢吃哈哈哈，很喜欢你的视频，赶快再回来～！😄

Shanghai is SO advanced and beautiful ❤

People’s Park used to be the site of Shanghai Race Club which was established by the British in 1862. 😅

The world's fastest lift for skyscrapers is located in the Shanghai Tower in Shanghai, China. It can reach speeds of 73.8 kilometers per hour (45.9 mph) and travels 121 floors in 53 seconds. Taipei 101 is currently ranked the 3rd in the world. The elevators of Taipei 101 that transport passengers from the 5th to the 89th floor in 37 seconds (attaining 60.6 km/h (37.7 mph)) set speed records after it was built in 2004.

Amazing..

广州、深圳、南京、杭州、青岛、昆明、大理、丽江

Nice video, maybe go back sometime to see other cities within China as many will point out. You have not scratched the surface of what China has to offer.

There have lot more to explore in China such as Xiamen, Dali ,Chungqing, Zinjiang ,Inner Mongolia. Shanghai population is equal to whole Canada’s .

swan~not duck

The duck.., ‘just wondieng how they taste..’. That’s exactly what my Chinese aunt will say. Thanks for sharing. 🎉🤪👍🤩

中國科技最發達的城市是深圳，上海雖然很發達，但是它只是中國大陸的金融中心。北京是中國的首都。香港是中國的對外窗口

In People's Park, those parents are matchmaking for their unmarried children. In China, many single adults of marriageable age rely on matchmaking to meet potential partners. We Chinese generally refer to such areas in parks as "matchmaking corners,「相亲角」".

Interesting story: As of 2025, Shanghai has more than 10000 coffee shops, making it the city with the largest number of coffee shops in the world, far exceeding Paris, New York, and Tokyo.Shocking!

If Shanghai and London had a child together, would u call it Hongkong
