Shanghai
Shanghai — where futuristic skylines meet nostalgic alleyways. You’ve got the glittering Bund against colonial-era buildings, ultra-modern towers in Pudong, and hidden cafes in tree-lined French Concession streets. Shop on Nanjing Road, slurp soup dumplings at a old-town eatery, or party all night in trendy clubs. It’s fast, flashy, and full of life. Shanghai doesn’t just show you China’s future — it makes you feel it. 🌆🥟✨
