Shanghai, China: Rural village walking, Shanghai local dialect and culture are disappearing

Описание: In this episode, I travel to Jinshan, a lesser-known district on the southern edge of Shanghai, to explore a side of the city that few travelers ever see. We start with the Jinshan City Wall Tower, a remnant of Shanghai’s historic fortifications, and stumble upon a patriotic war memorial statue that tells stories of China’s wartime past.

As I walk through the quiet streets, I talk about the disappearing Shanghai dialect, a fading cultural identity among younger generations in this rapidly modernizing city. The journey ends at Jinshan’s coastal fishing village, where daily life moves at a slower pace — a vivid contrast to Shanghai’s futuristic skyline.

This video is part of my ongoing series exploring authentic China — from metropolises to remote towns — told in English, with subtitles in Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Swedish, and Spanish to connect cultures and perspectives worldwide.
