Travel Inside China’s Prosperous, Innovative, and Futuristic Megacity FILLED With Hidden Gems.

In this episode, I will try to convince you that Shanghai is one of the MOST underrated places to travel, with LOTS of hidden gems that only savvy locals know.
For some context, I lived and worked in Shanghai 10 years ago. I was shocked to see how modern, vibrant, an comfortable the city has become.
We will not visit any typical tourist destinations, you are more than welcome to google those on your own. Instead, we go on adventures around the city that highlights modern lifestyle, and the evolving culture of today’s Chinese people.
This is important, because there’s a lot of misconceptions about China, its cities, and many of its wonderful citizens. We will not discuss political ideology and differences in this episode, but simply sit back and celebrate the amazing city and its people.
The clips were shown in the order in which it was filmed, but there are timestamps conveniently placed so you can skip to the parts you feel most relevant/interesting to you.
