SHANGHAI VLOG 🇨🇳 Exploring Quaint Shops & Streets Alone / Day Trip to Suzhou / Apps to Survive China

Описание: Hi!

Tried to do colour grading for the Shanghai vlogs/at least balance out the tone of the clips but …. I’m not sure if they actually look better or if I managed to edit with consistency.

Good to try new stuff anyway!

While editing the vlogs was difficult (cause choice of music, editing on top of work commitments and life in Sg), I'm glad with the end results even though uh ... the travel vlogs I put out usually don't get traction HAHAHAH

Still pleased with it cause it will be good memories to look back at.

Hope the vlogs will be helpful to anyone planning a trip to Shanghai! :)

Take care, and I'll see ya next week in vlogs back in Sg!

✨ACCOMS✨
➡️ Yitel Premium (Nanjing Pedestrian Street)

Staff was really friendly and nice, and they facilitated for an early check-in at 9.30am (unprompted, which was awfully nice). Room was clean + spacious, only gripe is that it's next to the road so it may be noisy. Didn't bother me since I was so tired every night so I pretty much concussed. However, if you are a light sleeper, it's something to consider!

✨APPS TO SURVIVE CHINA✨
1) WeChat // Payment ⭐
SUPER CONVENIENT. It's a seamless app that goes from scanning the menu, to ordering, to paying. You can even see how many orders there are ahead of you to see if you wanna join the queue or not

2) Alipay // Payment

3) Gao De Di Tu (高德地图) // Navigation ⭐

4) Bai Du Di Tu (百度地图) // Navigation

5) Apple Maps // Navigation ⭐
Can't figure how to add a list of locations to map out on Gao De Di Tu, to gauge proximity, so I used Apple Maps to do that instead. Unlike Gao De Di Tu, you can use Apple Maps in English as well

6) Xiao Hong Shu (小红书) // Social Media ⭐
Honestly great for brainstorming. When idk what to do and I want some ideas, I can just go to xiaohongshu and search for reco. Good for trip planning, it's just that in Chinese. If you know Chinese, this app would be really helpful for ideas on citywalk routes, trendy places to eat and shop at :)
