I went to all these place last October, exactly know how you feel, agree 100%

[@harryjohn7958]

Hey Lenny are you still in China?

[@pechadeh]

So where do foreigners hangout in Shanghai? All I see is one beautiful girl in front of the camera ;)

[@ZH-uw2xx]

The blue plate is for the ordinary gas vehicles and the green one is for "new energy" vehicles like electrical cars, plug-in cars, Tesla, BYD, Roewe, etc. Now the green license for Shanghai is FREE if your car qualifies for "new energy" and you're exempted from the vehicle purchase tax which is around 12%. By contrast, the traditional blue license for Shanghai(沪) is still very expensive (roughly 90,000 RMB for private cars, 140,000 RMB for company vehicles, 0.5 million RMB for city taxi cabs) and difficult to get as the government promotes for public transit by limiting the number of new car licence issued every month. Without a Shanghai(沪) license plate, your vehicle are NOT allowed to use many of the elevated roads in Shanghai during rush hours. A joke says in terms of price per gram, the blue Shanghai license plate is more expensive than gold.

[@bernardtan1]

Bullseye!

[@valentines3881]

I am from shanghai now as an international student in USA. This video make me so homesick. Shanghai is so unique as the western and local culture blend each other. I love Shanghai! I can’t wait to visit these beautiful streets again. Even just wandering around!

[@valentines3881]

This is literally one of the best Shanghai videos I have watched. Unlike the others are always focusing on the downtown city, this video actually dives into the beauty of daily places.

[@kevinthiede1434]

mines better g

[@YKLiu-ob2sd]

Just want to say a big thank you. China is always crowed and noisy, and most western media shows the negative side of it. You have a bright heart, always show the positive side and put the bias aside. no wonder why you are such a wonderful girl! and you are beatiful.

[@avexus]

Just got back from Shanghai yesterday, and somehow youtube knows how to comfort me by having your video on my home page. I feel exactly same way you do about SH. I can spend days here without getting bored. By just walking the streets of SH. I miss it so much. Thanks for these posts.

[@jeannedecro]

Hey ! I am from France and I coming to leave in Shanghai next January for a semester. It feels great to see your videos because to be fair I have no idea about how looks like China. It’s a part of the world I have never been to 😅 so thank you so much for sharing these videos. It gives me a really great view and thanks to you (and all the guides I am reading about China and Shanghai) I am really excited 😊 Let’s maybe meet one day ! I would be really glad to meet you, you seemed really nice 😄

[@lugao8445]

bienvenue a shanghai, mais il est tres tres chaud ici . lol

[@iebulex1925]

Go to China and see a real China.

[@Frenzy-pz3ft]

It’s all the small surprises that make the city!

[@dboy8295]

Green ones are what we called them "new energe". they are either E-car or Hibird.

[@lenny.winter]

interesting, thanks!

[@frankz495]

And it is complimentary with the purchase of the car. So the buyer saves somewhere around 80K RMB for a Shanghai number plate, kind of incentives.

[@dboy8295]

BUT ALSO WILL BE EXPIRED ALONG WITH THE CAR. NOT REALLY BELONGS TO YOU.

[@leoli5638]

我懂你，我也超级喜欢上海，感觉在上海走路都是带风的。

[@leoli5638]

Allen Lai 我想她干嘛，我是说我喜欢上海。

[@rickyu5119]

不喜欢非要强行ky一波吗

[@roachtoasties]

I only had time to watch the first minute, but there's a cool spiral escalator at the Westfield San Francisco Centre across from Union Square. It's multiple escalators that go up all eight or nine floors. I do suggest visiting San Francisco if you can solve that visa issue you mentioned, although it's a bit gritty from homelessness in parts. San Diego is also a good bet. Los Angeles is confusing and very spread out, so I advise taking tours for anyone unfamiliar. I now finished watching the rest. You aren't the only person to get lost visiting the French Concession. Me to. When I was in Shanghai I looked at my map and decided to go there. I got off the subway (probably the same stop you did) then wandered around for about five or six hours. After returning to my hotel on Nanjing Road later that evening, I wondered if I did it right, but never had time to go back. Your pictures of the area do look familiar, so I think I did it half right. Good video, as always.

[@aniketjaiswal3876]

Thanku so much for the videos😇, lots of time to film, edit and post. Sees all videos of Shanghai liked all subscribed. Keep making these..Lots of love.

[@herryhuang1644]

I come from Shanghai, and you make me homesick. :( Btw it is obviously a lovely vlog, cheers.

[@konglingzhe3744]

basically all cars are blue plates, but only few of them are green plates (e.g tesla) cuz they are electronic car, new energy vehicles can apply for green plate for free, and if u want to get a blue plate, u have to draw lots 1 out of 20, even if u got picked luckily, u need play approximately 100,000 yuan for that plate cuz there are numerous cars in the city. Basically its a wise act for encouraging people buying new energy vehicles

[@alicewhite1270]

You really capture the feeling and atmosphere of Shanghai! Thank you for filming and uploading

[@mithunt4455]

awesome...I'm coming there in december..much excited !

[@siqhishsqqqshsi6958]

green liscense plate are those who drive cars that are powered by renewable energies

[@lenny.winter]

interesting, thanks!

[@dtango8345]

In Canada, green license also allow you to void eco taxes as well

[@dudewhatisthepoint]

this lady just enjoys filming herself so much

[@maniacyro5167]

To my knowledge, that elevator is the first of its kind in the world. And we Shanghainese do hang out in places liks Tian Zi Fang or Xin Tian Di. But I would highly advise against buying any thing there. The prices are more than ridiculous.

[@MightySteve001]

Another great video...I'll be in Shanghai in couple of weeks time.

[@thisislinda3759]

Love your Shanghai vlogs ❤️

[@mengxk622]

i can tell you enjoyed your lone trip in shanghai so much as i missed my lone days in shanghai :)

[@qwzhenhere]

Lone? Make a friend with me? I’m in SH right now

[@SnkrsandCards]

Green license plates are for cars that are hybrids and Blue are just regular cars.

[@davidlang1125]

Great tour of Shanghai! You’ve got an adventurous nature. Have fun!

[@alanOHALAN]

If you have family in China you might not want to leave, Chinese family can be so fun together -) Good friends too

[@daniellanglois89]

I absolutely love your videos! I just discovered your channel today and i'm super happy!!

[@mrjoejianjj]

The greenish license plate is exclusively for the Hybrid-electric car or fully electric car. And of course, We, the locals, will definitely hang out in Tianzifang, and many tourists in there, too. Maybe it is half and half. Great video Thanks.

[@joeyp1927]

What a delightful video! I want to get lost in Shanghai too. I'd love to find myself in a tiny random place like at 12:00. 'Lost in Shanghai' should be a series of videos or the title of your book!

[@周星-s5w]

You can check out Wuzhen if you ever get bored. It’s a water town very close to Shanghai.

[@petersun825]

'Have you ever seen such a sophisticated escalator?'

[@colinchen805]

Green car plate is for free if you buy a EVC. Bule one will cost you 89K CNY and it is a rare chance to get it unless you can get a lottery in a car plate auction.

[@suz4390]

Great video :-) haven’t been back to Shanghai for a long while, the video log brings back the memories :-) cheers

[@wallacepei4529]

I left end of last September. I'm missing SH. Watching your video was nostalgic and loved seeing HuaiHai Zhong Lu and IAPM mall as I used to rent around there. TianZi Fang is a big tourist trap and locals bring their tourist visitor friends there. There are lots of Chinese tourist who visit it as well. I will come back to visit every 5 years. SH feels like a second home to me now. Will you visit again? Do you also feel like home when you go back?

[@giftzyx]

i grew up in the french concession, and now after 20 years living outside of the area, one of my wishes/dreams is to be able to afford a not so big $2m (USD) condo and move back someday. i'm so envious of some of my childhood friends who still live there, and some of their houses are worth $10-20m that i may never be able to afford.

[@yuezhao7487]

On Wukang Road there was a well known french bakery or boulangere called La Farine. I went to their store quite regularly. But due to some food hygienic issues they were accused of having used questionable flour as the base for their pastries, their operation came to a stop in Shanghai. The french manageriel team fled. However I've found another french hideaway in the area that serves french crepe and galette called RAC. C'est manifique! Hope you could pay it a visit next time you are in Shanghai.

[@hynoor7254]

Blue plate is for the regular vehicle powered by petrol while the green one is new energy vehicle powered by electricity

[@ustczzh]

Really love your smile!

[@ExpatNatt]

Great vlog! Makes me so excited to move to Shanghai! 💗

[@obsidianstatue]

the side walks in the old neighborhoods are super narrow, and they are the most visited areas too.

[@lugao8445]

bienvenue a Shanhai et bonne voyage ! I can't believe a foreigner girl can love this city so much. lol

[@PAUL2YU]

Nice video. Especially like the way you talk and express your feelings. Very cute.

[@hujiaming6151]

Good, looks like you have been some interesting places in Shang Hai.

[@willzgaminggg]

the blue plate for non electric cars (you should pay 90,000 RMB for it, and you bid for it) , and the green plate is for the electric cars (free)

[@alanOHALAN]

thanks for taking us on your tour, so sweet of you! i hope you find a very nice partner one day! -)

[@edvanard]

Hi there! Im working in a building just in front those gucci prada miu2 etc! next time check Donghu road close to it, many good places and bar along. And you should explore with shared bike, much easier!

[@ExperienceCN]

Wow that takes me back in time. I stayed in Shanghai for half a year in 2013 and I miss it every day. It seems like it didn’t have changed much. Btw I’m very impressed by your videos, I tried to make some videos in China but it’s really difficult. I only uploaded some dashcam videos while driving an electric bike

[@lenny.winter]

it changed a lot! haha watch my video about revisiting the university where I studied in 2013-2014!

[@ExperienceCN]

Yeah, It's Pretty Awesome Sure, I will watch it!

[@china-daily]

the green plate on car means the car engine is electronic, the blue plate on car means the car engine is oil

[@czgu6398]

Did you walk from XiangYang park on HuaiHai road to WuKang road, then to XinTianDi and got lost ...? It's more than 5 miles. Tianzifang and XinTianDi are same place.

[@Redleef607]

Whats the location of that cool neon pink store with the money wall? I wanna visit there on my next trip!

[@rothchristina347]

BurntSalmon SAME

[@guyremote4220]

the blue license is for normal energie cars the green license is for electric car

[@fusion9619]

I'm so glad you don't actually know where we hang out.

[@felixchen422]

The green car plate is only for electric cars while the blue one is for all cars

[@yangluqi]

In tianzifang i think 90% of them are tourists. Actually, the things selling in Tianzifang, almost all of them can be found in Taobao, except the foods. Looks you enjoy your days in Shanghai :D And those 2 weird photos (Hi...King...) shocks me !!

[@NemoWe]

That park is where Hotel Donghu used to be. Locals seldom hang out at tianzifang.

[@NiklasPrescher]

Very cool vlog!

[@SD_702]

Escalators are identical to Forum Shops at Caesars Palace in Vegas.

[@babyccinoau1321]

Hi, im one year late but im pretty sure the green-ish car plates mean that it's electric

[@yuezhao7487]

The park is called Donghu Lvdi（东湖绿地）. It used to be a private garden that belongs to nearby Donghu Hotel. Now it's a public park. You can find more info from here:sh.eastday.com/m/20150929/u1ai9048905.html

[@kianwang8582]

Have good days in Shanghai!

[@yubeyzhong5155]

I highly recommend you go to huangpu riverside and xuhui riverside

[@roddickzhao6202]

Blue is for regular gasoline cars and green is for new energy ones

[@jianhe7972]

blue plate is gasoline car, and the green plate is electric car

[@sunxxl01]

Easiest way to get to Tianzifang would be to take line 9 metro and get off at Dapuqiao station, exit 1 :)

[@playnite2188]

I like that u dont put music over your video I love to hear the atmosphere

[@dnannv2910]

The green one means the electric car, the blue one means the normal car.

[@Hwech]

Hey! Just love your videos! Can relate in the parts from Shanghai, Im right now in Hong Kong on an exchange semester :)

[@cx5643]

Local high school students usually go to that narrow street for dating or shopping.

[@glennt1962]

Love your vid. If you catch the Sightseeing bus which is hope on hope off goes to both sides of the river and one route takes you up Nanjing road. Love Shanghai been twice have two friends there so much to explorer. The French Concession on my list next trip.

[@Suolin311]

Few locals hang out at Tianzifang, they are almost visitors.

[@tommylam6665]

I love to watch your video. Great job. Keep producing your video.

[@alfredkokaku4338]

Looks like Xiangyang park, I researched on Google map.

[@leseseele]

Thank you for sharing. Could you please kindly write the name of the district or place where you are at the end of the video...with all these interesting narrow streets and shops.. thank you!

[@lenny.winter]

tianzifang :)

[@daweiyan8698]

Tianzifang is just so crowded and expensive, so as a local I have just went there for once

[@RespectOthers1]

Another lovely vlog...another part of Shanghai ✔(ed)! In English, 'shanghaied' means forced, coerced, tricked and even kidnapped. The irony is that nowadays people like yourself are going to Shanghai of their own accord and loving it. :D

[@first8956]

hey, bbc woman!

[@first8956]

you are so keen on leaving foreign KZbinrs comments on Chinese-relevant topics, whereas whoever appears to be your (former)countryman hardly get your RESPECT when they replied your comments. isn't that a little bit OTT?! 到处appreciate自觉humble... please, do excuse my "terrible manner".

[@RespectOthers1]

Firstly, I'll forgive you for addressing me as a woman. Secondly, me using my limited Chinese to reply comments written in Chinese is embarrassing...using English would be disrespectful. That's why I think people should just channel their commenting on the video itself.

[@alexandery8508]

RespectOthers 我老是看见你

[@davidlang1125]

Actually the meaning of “shanghaied” is to be bundled off the streets of Shanghai and onto a tramp steamer to work as indentured slaves in Southeast Asia. It was common for foreign companies get able bodied workers from China to work in mostly Malaya, Indonesia and Philippines. They considered the local populace were unreliable and lazy.

[@AdventureTimeWithAsh]

1:50 lol this direction has a better light what a great artistic decision instead of real life ones

[@Owleyes2019]

I miss Shanghai too, would love to hang out and explore with you. Would be a lot of fun.

[@tc88888888]

OMG the music in big pink!!

[@timsun2774]

The green is the renewable car.

[@Lautsie]

welcome to Shanghai!!

[@JoeChiangAU]

Nice video. Would you recommend any hidden restaurants for date night in Shanghai?

[@willcu]

Getting lost is great way to discover new things.

[@Nicks648]

That pink place was mega fucked up. Moving to Shanghai in 3 weeks so loving the videos and i would love any tips you may have for Shanghai?!

[@one5643]

You see those shopping malls in China? They’ve got curved escalators. Curved. Escalators!

[@importantguycommenting8156]

Come visit Shenzhen and Hong Kong, I love your videos :)

[@cuddledog142]

Your videos make me miss China so much!

[@haozhu9225]

The green plate is for E-Car

[@kunranzhao]

The blue license plates r the common ones and the green plates r for the electric cars xD

[@faizamohamud7651]

Guys help me out I want to study in Shanghai☺☺☺ But the problem😑😑how should i convince my mom😕😕

[@jerryhu373]

Thank you for this great video ~ BTW, welcome to Beijing if you have time ~

[@jasminatounsi]

The ticket machines in milan were super fast in my opinion, try germany they're SO SLOW 😓 Also those ice cups arent a thing anywhere else i think, at least i havent seen them here in germany or tunisia, uk, france, spain or italy 😅 guess its just china haha

[@RL-vu8jt]

nice video bro!

[@guodongmao3395]

i love your videos，i love your voice

[@guodongmao3395]

so sad

[@andyli7598]

the green plate cars are powered by battery

[@-nick5705]

I love your video,I live in Shanghai too,My company appears in your video haha,just modern eyes

[@xp9949]

Chinese here...LOL Tianzifang is full of tourists, but not only foreign tourists go there, also tourists from other cities of China. Local people enjoy BBQ and cycling in some big parks or movies shopping karaoke...Have to say that Shanghai is very convenient to live for foreigners but super boring to visit

[@retdslee8587]

The spiral elevator is the only one in China. I don't know whether it exists in other countries ?

[@erinc5663]

Omg I just went there today

[@albertolando5268]

Haha it looks so tiring being around all day while filming, I wouldn't do it but I'm so glad you are doing it 😂; Anyways the pink place looked quite weird, yeah also cool but surely confusing... probably in person it does an even stronger impression

[@st.6959]

This caption didn't match the content of the video. I saw no foreign/expat hangout spots...just you walking around and finding random things

[@Readytogo11111]

most foreigners hang out place in shanghai nowadays is none other than FOUND158
