I'm in China! In this video, I'm exploring the modern megacity of Shanghai during Chinese New Year 2024. I'll share my experience as a solo American traveler in Shanghai, explore different neighborhoods in the city (People's Square, former French Concession, Yu Garden, The Bund), and eat lots of incredible food!
