China is a vast and diverse country, and there are imperceptible differences in culture, food, language, climate, etc. in various places.

I'm the local citizen in Shanghai, there is another reason why it's quite in Shanghai, In traffic laws, cars are forbidden to honk their horns in downtown center😀

[@didineerod4371]

Sydney is like bangkok or India with so much of honking! Its so crazy and deafening. I like the traffic law in shanghai.

[@type-ke7921]

The reason why Shanghai doesn't feel like a megacity is because it's built under a different philosophy than NYC or Tokyo. In Shanghai we have very high density residential complexes, which in terms allows the non-residential areas to be more open. Also, a big signature of Chinese cities is that we do our best to make sure every street has trees, no matter how downtown it is. As a Shanghainess myself I'm a bit sad how underrepresented our kind of megacities are in pop cultures, since, in my humble opinion, it's a better kind of cities.

[@LokeKS]

there is plenty of anti-china propaganda in the west

[@Jin88866]

It's probably better to have wide streets and open spaces if you live there but as a tourist I like more compact and walkable cities. I find Hong Kong, Tokyo, Taipei and Chongqing more interesting and charming, with the narrow streets, old buildings and streets designed for people, not for cars.

[@eggheadegghead]

Shanghai metro is a way bigger than Tokyo or NYC in term of area. If you talk about population, 1/3 of Japanese population lives in Tokyo metro, is that a good thing for a country........ Tokyo and NYC are more famous than Shanghai to Westerners is simply because what happened in last 100 years and because the dominance of the US, and its allies in term of economy, military, and overall influence......As someone who lived in NYC and moved to TX, I can say the NYC is a mess, really messy.....

It’s only a matter of time before Shanghai will have true forefront global city status. In fact I think it wouldn’t take long at all.

It is quiet in Chinese cities compared to SEA cities because first of all China uses a lot of electric vehicles already, like e-bikes on every block, and secondly people use the subway and high-speed trains, so traffic is diversified while in SEA cities, vehicles are still using gasoline (noisy) and usually no sophisticated subway system like China.

Why does China prohibit the construction of buildings over 500 meters? Firstly, China already has too many tall buildings, with 51 out of the top 100 skyscrapers worldwide located in China. Secondly, there are safety concerns associated with such tall structures, posing significant challenges for firefighting and requiring substantial maintenance investments as they age. Thirdly, some buildings lack architectural design and can disrupt the city's skyline and aesthetic appeal.

[@alexzhong2002]

Record-making skyscrapers need carefully crafted budget and plan to build. Apparently some proposals were not well financed, dug holes in China’s economy.

That drink is called coconut milk（ye zhi in Chinese）, which is a very popular drink in China. Children's favourite. Recently, I heard that the Chinese government has opened a 30-day visa-free entry policy for Germany. I hope you can visit more attractions and cities next time. China has a long cultural and abundant historical heritage, as well as beautiful mountains and plateaus, which are definitely worth exploring more. I recommend Suzhou and Xi'an. In Suzhou, you can see the ancient graceful southern Chinese towns and gardens. Xi'an is the ancient capital of 13 dynasties in China, with a history of 3,000 years. There are many historical sites there. You will feel as if you have travelled back to ancient times, and the nearby Huashan Mountain is also worth visiting, with beautiful mountain scenery and dangerous cliffs. In addition, China's high-speed rail system is very developed. You can use Ctrips to book train tickets and get to any city in China.Anyway welcome you Ken😊

great to see positive depiction of china

[@robertlu2344]

It is moving that Chinese people from different cities welcoming Ken to their cities. They are all the ambassadors of their cities and proud of their home towns.

You are certainly professional in your filming and editing Ken. You can ride a bike and keep on with your narration as you go. Always a splendid trip along with you providing information all along the way. I remember being in the building across from the tallest building there and the tallest building was being built at that time. Certainly an unbelievable site. Thanks Ken.

Welcome to my hometown China. You have given a very fair and objective explanation of everything about China. Thank you very much. Much better than some of the British and American media
