Hi Tuonto! First time commenting! As a Shanghainese, I can tell that what people usually called in my childhood is "West Nanjing road" at 3:55 It is a very busy street and it is one of the biggest shopping areas in Shanghai! Heytea is a Chinese brand which is really popular for selling fruit tea drinks, many people love it all around China! In the video, Dim Sum is a type of dish which is from Guangdong, called 粤菜（yue cai, 粤is the region name and 菜means dish) The Shanghai type of food is at 10:40! (just a correction lol both dishes are good!) It is actually exciting to see you travel in Shanghai and give us a tour. Glad you enjoyed it!

I grew up in China for the first few years of my life and despite all the drama that the people here in the US tend to joke about China, it's a beautiful place. If we put the countryside life aside, city life in China is like...how do I put it...MAKING THE US LOOK LIKE THE COUNTRY-SIDE. The vibes kind of remain the same no matter where you go in China, kind of makes it feel like everyone is just a big family (some people on the streets are very rude tho lol). The quality of materials may not always be the best, but it honestly doesn't really matter as long as it is pleasing to look at, be around, or blah blah blah. Food and Shopping Centers are my favorite parts of China. Is anyone here from a city in China? Some of their shopping centers are HUGEEEE (and modern). If you just kinda ignore the cameras that are basically everywhere (lol), it's a fun place. I highly recommend anyone to pay a visit.

[@alba3792]

I'm Chinses. China has really developed a lot these years and city life is really very convenient, thank you for your nice words about China! But can I ask why do you not like the cameras? I'm really curious bcz I do see some other foreigners visitors mentioning this part😂 but for our Chinese these cameras give us a sense of safety cause we don't need to be afraid of theft or robbery or sth like. Just wonder If there are no cameras how do the police solve the crimes?

[@N95j]

I agree! China is a great place and I almost feel like it’s my second home. Also, I was born in America but im Chinese

[@justsomeslimewithoutalife8500]

@@alba3792 It makes me feel safe in a sense too, but also kind of creepy…knowing that in return for the safety, you have a pair of eyes staring at you wherever you go. Unless you have a VPN, foreign social media is practically impossible, which is fine but it kind of makes me feel like I am missing out on some of my freedom… It’s okay though because the food in China is nice :)

[@noelpenkeki6796]

The lego popularity increase in china is bc of the successful recent lego show, Monkie Kid, (which first released in 2020) which is a "spinoff series" to the famous Journey to the West novel in China. Monkie Kid was made due to intended use of introducing lego to china, which was a success! This lego "anime" (many ppl call it that) has been a HUGE hit in not just China but worldwide as well. You should try out this show when you can- the animation is gorgeous and story is very moving. In fact, Cyno's va, alejandro saab, voices a popular character named Macaque in that series ^^ my pfp is actually one of the main characters of monkie kid btw (mei)

[@Hinata8778]

It's official, Jake is now Da Wei's favorite. If he loses his 50/50s it's because Da Wei is a tiger parent and wants Jake to suffer to reach greater heights. In all seriousness, this is such a huge thing and you've really come so far, and it's all earned. You deserve it 🙏

[@Salty_Gacha_Gamer]

Da Wei is honestly a really great guy. I have been playing Mihoyo games since its earliest days and Da Wei has been a integral part of all those releases and it shows in the games how much love and care went into them. Despite all the flak (Piss off MidHoyo White Knights) Mihoyo recieves for the state Genshin is at, it's coz Genshin probably never recieved much attention from Da Wei which incidentally shows again in the games. HI3 receives almost all his attention and thus has been and will continue to be a Stellar one. Genshin on the other hand is and will always be the cashgrab it was designed to be. Nothing wrong with that but the MidHoyo White Knights defending that pisses me off. It's like that burning house meme where the kid says "I'm okay", there's nothing okay with that ffs!!!! Anyways, I wanted Da Wei to pay even a fraction of the attention he pays to Honkai Impact to Genshin such that it could be something more than what it is now.

[@razzildarkbrew1952]

To be honest, I think this is just a matter of difference of the dev team in charge of both games. I remember reading that most of the people in the Genshin dev team were newer recruits at the time of the release. Obviously, HI3 dev team are full of veterans and experienced people and knows how to please their players.
