  • Guangzhou: My Big Disappointment 😞
    B Beatrice Thiel

    If you can mess up getting onto the Inner Ring Road at the Zhongshan Interchange, you'll definitely get lost heading to Haizhu District. GPS navigation often has delays, and with so many diverging roads, you really need to pay attention to the road signs. On another note, if Guangzhou didn't have the Inner Ring elevated highway, restrictions on out-of-town vehicles would be even tighter – those drivers wouldn't even get the chance to complain about the traffic!

  • Shanghai: Confirmed, I'm just a potato here. #WTFtravel

    Actually, if you visit more major cities in developed countries and then experience Shanghai, you probably won't have that kind of feeling anymore.

    Shanghai: Confirmed, I'm just a potato here. #WTFtravel 1

    I understand! Each time I step into Shanghai, that overwhelming feeling of "wow, the city residents sure know how to have a good time" hits me!

    • Especially when just exiting the train station or airport, it's incredible!
      • Surrounded by towering buildings, bustling traffic and waves of people, one instantly feels overwhelmed and small, as if lost in this metropolis.
    • The people on the streets, my goodness!
      • Speaking all sorts of languages, whether comprehensible or not, it feels like the whole world has gathered here. Also, everyone dresses so stylishly and fashionably!
      • And those creatively designed buildings and abundant shops leave your eyes longing for more.
    • Really, at that moment, I felt I was missing something in my hand—yes, just a humble and down-to-earth woven bag more earthy would fit just right with me!

    Friendly tip for friends visiting Shanghai for the first time:

    • Prepare mentally for being "lost"!
      • Shanghai is massive with metro lines like spiderwebs. It's very easy to get confused at stations or while switching trains.
      • How should one deal with it? Download maps in advance, or seek help from staff and volunteers who are all friendly and kind.
    • Crowds abound – take it in stride!
      • Crowds are common at attractions, malls, or metro stations, particularly during holidays.
      • How should one deal with it? If you dislike crowds, try avoiding peak hours. Relax, this is part of the charm of a big city too!
    • Variety of consumption options abound – keep an eye on your wallet!
      • Shanghai has top-notch, upscale restaurants and shops as well as down-to-earth, inexpensive food and places of business.
      • How should one deal with it? Plan ahead according to budget. Don't let the dazzling prosperity cloud your judgment!

    In summary, Shanghai is a charming city but can also be bewildering at times; enjoy this unique experience!

    Sure, no problem! This feeling is understandable. It's like some places have stunning scenery but the accommodation conditions are subpar, ha ha!

    To be honest, I really do enjoy Taiwan in general, and I personally quite like it.

    However, there is something that I have a little “criticism" about - old houses.

    Really, those old-looking houses and makeshift metal-roofed buildings (which use metal sheets for quick building and sometimes for insulation in tropical regions) can be seen everywhere.

    Of course, modern, beautiful buildings also exist, but these old sights are just too common. Honestly, they are not very aesthetically pleasing and somewhat mar the urban landscape.
