Shanghai: Is Anyone Actually *There*?
-
I used to feel the same way, coming from a tourist perspective that prioritizes natural landscapes and ancient architecture. But I've since realized that the real reason to come to Shanghai is to broaden your horizons and experience the world.
-
There's the Natural History Museum, the Shanghai Museum East Branch, countless art galleries, a wide array of exhibitions, plays, and musicals. Culturally, Shanghai is truly in a league of its own in China.
-
What's the Shanghai Museum East Branch exhibiting recently? And is it true that you don't need to book tickets for it anymore?
-
Does 'tourism' only mean sightseeing in nature?
There's also 'urban tourism,' and experiencing the vibe of a metropolis is very appealing. Besides, Shanghai took center stage in modern Chinese history. 'To understand modern China, look to Shanghai' – it possesses a unique modern humanistic heritage. -
If you grew up in a big city, you'll likely want to see mountains and nature when you travel, and vice versa. It's all about going to places where others have grown tired of living.
-
Exactly! 'The places others are tired of'—that's the core of tourism.
-
Prosperity and bustle are a sight to behold in themselves.
-
Don't we all go to places other people are tired of and treat them like treasures to explore?
-
It's because other places are even less fun. I used to think Shanghai wasn't all that interesting, but after visiting other cities, I find myself thinking, 'Yeah, let's just go back to Shanghai...'
-
That's because your idea of 'fun' is still stuck on just sightseeing in nature.
-
I feel like even just casually strolling around the streets offers a great experience.
-
Absolutely stunning!
-
So many performances! Hahahaha.
