    I literally just left Shanghai after a 12 days China tour. China is so clean, so big! And the people are so polite and friendly. The Bund, you see it on RUclips, on pictures, but nothing like seeing with your own eyes. It is like....staring into the future.

Born and raised in the midwest USA, never in a million years would I believe that this is china until I visited the plant in China. I remember how anxious I was before traveling only to find out that all I knew from the media/everyone (even the church goers) was a big lie. I know the media lies especially in politics but this is a league of it's own.

      Joe Biden is envious of Dictator Xi ( as called by JB) for doing such an excellent job to provide Chinese people and foreigners who live in Shanghai. He laments that US cities are full of homeless people, drug addicts and gun shooters, dirty streets and violence infested cities that the American people are afraid to walk in the streets at night., Compared to Chinese cities where people dance and stroll at night in the park is a contrast to behold. But he is too busy making wars around the world whereas Dictator Xi makes Chinese people happy and peaceful. .

    I think I prefer Flora and Note's travel videos because they spend most of the time showing the sights and activities in the places they visit. So many other travel RUclipsrs focus so much on their hotel rooms, even when their room isn't particularly special at all. It just feels like a commercial for the property and isn't very interesting. Flora and Note are like: "We stayed here. It was clean, convenient, and a good price," and then show more important things.

    Welcome to Shanghai. Consider adding Beijing, Chongqing, Xian, Xinjiang, Suzhou, Nanjing, Guangzhou, or Xiamen to your travel itinerary. Pick any of them and I'm sure you'll be incredibly satisfied. The diversity of landscape, culture, some language differences, and cuisine are a pleasant surprise. Enjoy your travels.

If your niece seeks help from the police, she will definitely be taken seriously, because the police can quickly locate the robber through CCTV, and this kind of robbery case is easy to detect and has a generous reward for police.

    Hi Flora and Note Welcome back to China. Welcome to your 1ST Day in Shanghai. I had to laugh out loud when Note said it’s so cold and laughed again when Flora said she had 5 layers on because I just checked the weather for today, shows 60 degrees and sunny. That is definitely T-shirt and shorts for me. That street looks amazing and park too. I am so happy that you both joined in and went dancing in the park. Scallion pancake looks yummy. I could tell that Note really enjoyed the thin pork chop after taking his 1ST bite from his reaction. I laughed with Flora when she dropped the bun. Pork yum, crab must be delicious. Absolutely love seeing all the buildings lit up at night. So Sad when Flora said your going somewhere else, ONLY 1 Video in Shanghai. Absolutely Loved Every Second // Absolutely Outstanding From Start To Finish

There is a hotel there I recommend called the Buddha Zen hotel in a restricted walking only area. Of course the food is fantastic. Jinlin Street is a must see and if you can catch a face change show ion the theater area you will enjoy that very much. And don't forget to have a traditional ear cleaning while there!
