This vlog follows Vanessa Huang's exciting one-day adventure through Shanghai, China, showcasing the city's blend of modern and traditional aspects. The journey begins in the historic Yu Garden Old Street, a 400-year-old area with a mix of traditional and modern shops, where Vanessa notes the surprising number of foreigners and the English-speaking staff. Despite a mistake of overeating breakfast, she highlights the abundance of delicious food options, sampling scallion pancakes.
Yu Garden itself, while crowded, is described as a beautiful and historically significant Chinese garden, offering a glimpse into the past. Vanessa shares her honest opinion, expressing that while historically interesting, it's quite touristy. She then offers a valuable travel tip, recommending the app "GetYourGuide" for booking tours and tickets in China, emphasizing its ease of use and language accessibility.
The vlog then takes an unexpected turn, as a local recommends a lesser-known building – a modern mall named A00 Tre Sanai. This mall is described as luxurious, with high-end brands and unique features like "peace pots" – hourly rentable workspaces. Vanessa samples local snacks and highlights the mall's outdoor area by a river, offering a peaceful contrast to the bustling city. The next stop is CNT, a semi-outdoor shopping and dining area with a mix of Western restaurants and a historical significance as the site of the first Chinese Communist Party meeting. This area is described as a trendy hub with a European feel, attracting many Westerners.
Vanessa shares insights into her comfortable stay at the Somerset Star River Minhang service apartment, offering a room tour that highlights its amenities and convenience for longer stays. The day concludes with an exhilarating visit to the Shanghai Circus, described as the best circus performance in China, with impressive and dangerous acts. Finally, the vlog ends with a stunning view of the Bund at night, capturing the iconic skyline and the blend of modern and colonial architecture.
