@shaggylamar4894Ай бұрын
@@markylon hard to say, I'm spending 3 months in Beijing and was in Shanghai for 4 days. From what I've seen Beijing and Shanghai can both have an authentic traditional feel as well as a big city like feeling, however Beijing has more of the traditional and shanghai has more of the big city stuff...so it'll depend on what you're looking for. Either way, would highly recommend both. One thing tho, maybe we were just unlucky but a lot of the streets we passed by while in Shanghai smelled like sewage. One time (late at night), there was even a working team opening up an access to the sewage and I felt like throwing up. But again it may just be our bad luck during those 4 days. ...... Bottom line, do both and add Chengdu on your list while you're at it

I highly recommend the Shanghai Museum (East branch). It is a large white rectangular building. It is free. It is one of the most impressive museums i have been. There are people who wipe the glass every 5 min so fingerprints wont obstruct your view. Going there made me realised that China is more advanced than most western countries

There are French Concession and UK/US concession that has different styles of architecture. Very unique. Enjoy a cup of coffee and walk under the trees, it’s definitely chill in Shanghai. Like Xintiandi is technically French Concession area.

I just came from there. Was there for 6 days. Didn't really like it. Didn't dislike it. There's nothing fascinating about it because it's just a copy of Hong Kong. Why they felt the need to copy HK is incomprehensible. The metro is efficient but one thing annoyed me. If you've bought a ticket and wanted to get off one stop before the original destination, they won't let you out. You have to get off exactly on the station that you selected when you bought the ticket. It makes no sense.
