    No More Shanghai for Me 1

    Every time I come across posts about Shanghai, it makes me feel quite down. The after-effects of my trip to Shanghai were really strong. #LeavingShanghai #ShanghaiCityWalk

      What's wrong? Do you want to blow up Shanghai?

        It's such an impressive place. Am I weird or what? The first time I went to the Bund, I was truly impressed. So much so that I went every weekend for two years, and by the end, the novelty had worn off. But when I left, the amazement came back.

          I'm from Guangzhou, and I felt that Shanghai is just like any other big city. It's all about modern architecture; there's not much difference.

            Both are bright and bustling cities. I think Guangzhou is also very prosperous. Coming from a smaller town, the visual impact was indeed very strong.

              Shanghai is incredibly competitive. It's fine for a short visit, but living there is another story. As a local, I always dream of escaping Shanghai.

                For us outsiders, renting a place is too expensive, which puts a lot of financial pressure on us.

                  I suggest cycling along the Huangpu River. It's almost free and very enjoyable.

                    I once took a sightseeing bus, which was fun, but a bit pricey. Electric bikes and bicycles are no longer allowed in the Bund area.

                      A few days ago, I walked around Nanjing Road at night. Thinking about leaving the next day, I felt really sad. From the city's greenery to its traffic order, I found Shanghai to be better than Beijing in many aspects.

                        I used to go to the Bund at night, but during my last few days, I went during the day and sat there for a long time. You moved from one big city to another, while I returned to a small village.

                            I heard the Japanese yen has depreciated a lot recently. If I buy a camera lens for around 6000 RMB, would it be worth it, considering the costs of shipping and taxes?

                              There are so many people from Henan in Shanghai.

                                People from Henan and Anhui are quite numerous here.

                                  I knew you were just here to praise Shanghai.

                                      I worked in Shanghai for twelve years. Before I left, I made sure to take videos of the streets and neighborhoods I frequented. Back in Beijing, I often watch them and miss those days in Shanghai.

                                        After twelve years, it must have been hard to leave. I had plans to treat friends to dinner and explore more, but in the end, I left in a rush.

                                          Every day since I returned home from Shanghai, I've regretted it.
