    Seriously, the subway journeys are so long. In Hangzhou, 11 stops take about half an hour, but in Shanghai, it feels like 40 to 50 minutes. It just feels incredibly far.

      Same here. Since I arrived in Shanghai a few days ago, everyone on the subway just gives off this vibe of being exhausted and unhappy...

        This city can definitely be tiring.

          When I was visiting Beijing for fun, as soon as I got on the subway, I felt like I was just there to work, not on holiday. So exhausting.

              My very first day in Shanghai, and I already felt this overwhelming tiredness. Just couldn't bring myself to feel happy.

                Sweetie, that's just how big cities are. If you're unhappy, perhaps consider moving to a different city, one that's a better fit for you and your lifestyle.

                  I'm in Shanghai today, and I feel super tired too.

                      Just try to relax. You're on vacation to have fun, it's not like you're here for work.

                        True. Next time I travel for fun, I'll definitely try to be more laid-back about it.

                          I actually find visiting Shanghai for fun pretty relaxing. Older people here seem to have their own distinct, unhurried vibe.
