    Regarding the various opinions I've seen in the comments, I'd like to clarify a few things. Firstly, my wording might have been a bit unclear, leading to misunderstandings. The 600 yuan meal included two crabs; without them, the rest wasn't that expensive, which is why I felt it was just average. Also, I might not have specified that I was sharing my experience as a tourist. I believe there's a big difference between traveling and daily life. Many people asked, 'So, am I just picking up trash in Shanghai?' My answer is that I'm an ordinary person too; in daily life, 20 yuan per meal is usually enough for me. But when I travel, I like to treat myself to something better. Indeed, every city has its pros and cons, but I travel to see the world and experience things I normally wouldn't. Otherwise, what's the point of spending money on travel? I might as well eat well in my hometown. As for the idea that I'm 'overthinking things,' isn't it good to have ambition? Should I just give up or lack motivation? I hope everyone understands.

      Okay, but you can get a Hanting Hotel room for 200. And 200 per person for a meal out in Shanghai is considered pretty decent. Are we even talking about the same Shanghai?

        If a 600 yuan meal is considered lower-middle tier, then I guess I'm just a beggar in Shanghai.

          Not really, when you're traveling, you definitely want to eat some 'fancy' meals. It's just that in Shanghai, a 600 yuan 'fancy' meal isn't particularly outstanding. For daily meals, unless you're super rich, who eats that expensively?

            Not going back. It's a city where I didn't spot any cute guys.

                My takeaway is that Wei Xue is incredible 👍🏻. She manages to snag the very best even in Shanghai, right up to the 'Emperor of Shanghai'.

                  It's because she could leverage her youth, beauty, height, and figure. Plus, she was young and good-looking back then.

                      That's just non-locals in Shanghai being tolerant towards other non-locals.

                        Not really, what about our Hanting Hotel for over 200, and local Shanghainese dishes averaging over 50 per person?

                          Which Hanting Hotel are you talking about?

                              So many young people! Cute guys and pretty girls everywhere. On my way back, I just saw a guy who was over 1.8 meters tall, slim, and looked exactly like Liu Yaowen! He was stunningly handsome!
