You all seem to be enjoying so much everything of the place which I miss so dearly and desperately want to go back later this year. I'm getting a bit emotional watching your glowingly smily faces. I was literally gazing at the screen, watching you sitting in those lovely coffee shops, sipping coffee while enjoying the peaceful street scenes through the windows. I understand it's a lot quieter than the Shanghai i used to visit so often but I am so glad the vibe there has come back. Love watching your videos and I am going to share them with others who love the city too.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for your kind comment. I am so glad it made you nostalgic for home. I hope you can come back and visit soon! Thank you for sharing!! ❤️❤️
Wow. The coffee shops looks so cozy and your sweet potato does look very yummy 😋 thanks for the great video. Will you make a must see video for Shanghai? Me and my boyfriend are planning to revisit Shanghai after 6 years. Greetings from Ireland ❤
Hellooo! I can't wait to visit Ireland someday!! And that is a great idea for a video. I will try my best to make that happen. I will probably need to do that once it warms up a little bit so in the spring would be perfect. When do you plan to visit? So excited for you that you're able to visit again!
@@melissa_renee welcome to Ireland! I left Shanghai more than 20 years ago. I grow up in Shanghai than moved to Sweden until I met my partner. Now living in country side with 3donkeys. 🤣Shanghai looks so different than I remembered.
Uuuuum that sounds amazing!!! You need a channel too. I’d watch that life for sure 😃 that’s what I hear all the time. That Shanghai is just not the same as even a few years ago.
Actually I think you are lucky there aren't too many people. Dispite the nonopened shops, you get to enjoy the view quitely and thoroughly. We local people can only dream about this to happen.
I love watching your videos, it’s so soothing and nice for the eyes. My favorite is your house tour, I found you channel because I’m in minimalism. And I could not imagine Shanghai to be such a cool place. Can’t wait to see other cities you will be visiting. Just doing cafe is intriguing.
Your comment makes my day!! I’m so glad you found me because you’re into minimalism. I hope to visit other places in the future. Thanks so much for watching!! ❤️❤️
oh man all the food you ate in this. . .totally want to try them. The furry hand in the wall was . . .a little creepy but funny. Happy new year to your family. I bet it will be so much fun to be there when they celebrate their new year!
I think the reason why it was so few people in the vlog was that many people caught Covid in the past week (me included). I am now recovered and out in the street this week and there are more and more people now, on one hand i am very happy life is getting back to normal, on the other hand I miss the tranquility haha. but i am more happy that our life are finally getting back to normal!
Great! Thanks for the visit! I am a professional artist and I share my paintings and demos here. So much to see and hear on RUclips. Cheers on a Wednesday!
foreign people who living in Shanghai,auxiliary living in China, is so lucky.there are safe,peace,Kindness places in this world.I am pretty sure you will got the best life of you .
If you are interested in ancient towns in Shanghai. I recommend Jinze Ancient Town and Liantang Ancient Town. They are less commercialized than Zhujiajiao and very quiet and peaceful especially Jinze. But they're more remote, far from the city.
I think most Chinese stores close during the Chinese New Year - people shut down shops to enjoy the New Year with family or go to the ancestral homes in the countryside.

i am a big fan of M stand coffee, it is very good! Please enjoy your life in Shanghai, the city is in recovery now and you will see more people soon, as the normal life :)
Hello! Im traveling to China probably soon (from oz), how do i link my account to wechat for making payments in China? a while ago I heard that foreign bank accounts cannot be linked to wechat?? if it is doable now, the foreign curreny (AUD) gets converted to RMB by wechat when the payment is made in China? is it a good exchange/conversion rate? thank you! ps: is cash accepted? i know banks cards / travel money cards issued in oz probably not accepted in China :(
Unfortunately, I don’t have an answer for you. I’m very sorry this might be something that you can look up online maybe? I do know that cash is accepted but it’s not common anymore.
love your video - it is quiet, soft, gentle, warm & cosy - just like a soft background music at home after a big day at work ❤️ Im chinese living in oz, cant wait to head back to china! miss the food and the everyday on-the-street stuff you get to see when walking around ... i just need to familiarise myself with how i do things in china - like how i open an account, and to link it to my wechat? mobile number, etc...
Thank you so much for your kind compliment that means a lot to me. I’m sorry I can’t help with the account information questions but I wish you the best of luck in your journey back to China!

Glad I can share some positivity!

If you are open minded people, there is always another world to explore and enjoy... Have a wonderful stay in China
Totally agree!! Thank you for your comment.
Happy New Year! 🙂
Your video editing skills are great, btw. Hey, no shame in McDonalds. 😆
Thank you for the compliment!! 😊❤️ and happy new year!!

Happy New Year! I'm excited to see what the CNY is like in person! Hopefully I'll get to share a lot with you.
The fury hand through the hole on the wall is operated by all deaf mutes. It is a philanthropy project.
Hope you had a great new year, thanks for the mention! Must meet up for a coffee date soon! ❤
Yes coffee very soon!!!
@@PlanetCHINA.1 stay tuned… we may or may not have a collab coming out this week 🤫🤫
Happy New Year guys. I hope 2023 would be a wonderful year for everyone.
Thank you so much! And same to you!!
Thank you so much! And same to you!!
The bear coffee store looks quite fun!😆 Start missing Shanghai and China!
Right?! haha! Yeah I need to get coffee from there some day.
That bear is disabled. So he serves guests in this way.
I think the reason why it was so few people in the vlog was that many people caught Covid in the past week (me included).

Yup, that's absolutely why. I also got it again before Christmas. =( I'm glad you're better now and I'm also so glad life is getting back to normal!
I love the 🎶 music!! And also the cool back alley so lovely neighbourhoods! Hope to visit Shanghai soon n walk on those old places…
Thank you so much! I probably think about the music a little too much. haha I hope you can visit soon too!
Great! Thanks for the visit! I am a professional artist and I share my paintings and demos here. So much to see and hear on RUclips. Cheers on a Wednesday!
Loveing your video from China.

Yes it's a mass exodus.
春节期间，大城市都很安静，放长假大家都在好好休息
It was so shocking to see the city so quiet. It is back to life now! ❤️
Love da music…..
Cant wait for Oct to fly to Shanghai for a hols.
Yay!! So glad you’re able to come!!
You should make some friends who can teach you how to get sponsors. Because your work meets the needs of sponsors very well. Good luck!
Thank you so much. I plan to get some, I just need to reach out I guess. =)

SO CHILL IN SHANGHAI
Thank you!!
oh so nice, was this in Jianding/Anting? So beautiful!
It was in Xuhing district. I'm not sure about the place you mentioned. I'm sorry!
ooops typo, sorry, I ment to say JARDING or ANTING, my God what happened to my words here? 😅
Hi Renée... 💕 Your vlogs... Shanghai from your eyes is different , different from a Chinese perspective
Yes, very different!
i am a big fan of M stand coffee, it is very good! Please enjoy your life in Shanghai, the city is in recovery now and you will see more people soon, as the normal life :)
Its so yummy! And thank you, we are excited for the changes. =)
can’t wait to see ur next video ❤
Oh my gosh thank you so much!! ❤️
Good video, healthy food from the stall in Shanghai!
Thank you so much! We try to not go for the bad stuff =)
You just like an artist！！❤
Thank you for the kind compliment!!
Thanks for sharing.
Manner is better than M Stand, and cheaper! Personal view!! 😄
We REALLY like Manner too. We just don't see M Stand very often so maybe it's just because we haven't had it as much. But you're right, it is cheaper!
Omg, your camera is just super.
thank you so much!❤️
cozy, nice music😁
Thank you 😊
The subway condition is way better than it is here in NYC.....
Oh my gosh, yes! It doesn't smell! haha!
When was this footage filmed? The date..
This past week.
I’m in Texas watching your video, and I’m not supposed to envy you (you know being in the greatest country on on earth), but I am.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 love this comment. I know the feeling. (also, will you be mad if I yell Boomer Sooner?)
@@melissa_renee No. But I’m yelling back with a long horn gesture.
@@chuckgoodwish3897 🤣🫣
China is just like another planet compare with the us...with totally different culture and rich history
Wow. Nice footages! I really want to be there now. :O
Thank you so much! You should come! 😃

Those in bear palms to hand over the coffee to you are most the disabled persons. That's why they just open a hole and avoid other interactions.
Oh really??! That’s amazing.
@@melissa_renee yes, as the news reported, 50% of staffs of the store are disabled persons.
