A Different Side of Shanghai I S4 Ep2

Описание: Shanghai is known for its skyline, but the moments that stayed with me weren’t the ones you see in photos. In this travel episode, I’m sharing the parts of the city that caught me off guard — the quiet reflections outside Yu Garden, a stranger at Jing’an Temple I still think about, dancers in Peace Park, and the reminders that traveling later in life brings a different kind of meaning.

I also talk through a few things that made the trip memorable: a visit to the observatory with its 360-degree views, a night river cruise along the Bund, and how different the neighborhoods feel as you move through the city. On the practical side, I share the apps that helped me navigate Shanghai and why the city felt unexpectedly comfortable for solo travel.

If you’re planning a trip to Shanghai or looking for a real traveler’s perspective, this episode gives a grounded look at the people, places, and moments that shaped my days there.
