The Prices in Shanghai China are Crazy! 

I have lived in China for over 12 year, and it is nice to watch blogs of people actually enjoying China and not go on what western media makes it look. My brother came to visit a couple of years ago and he could not believe how modern and clean it was. I have never felt as safe anywhere else in the world as I have felt here. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

MAN I MISS SHANGHAI!! I LIVED THERE IN 2002-2004, AGAIN IN 2010 AND 2014, wonderful city that Americans can’t imagine, as they say “They don’t know what they don’t know!”

The blueberry pancake looks absolutely delicious! Wish I can have one now! 😋

Note .. the price of the food in the menu is the total payment , No added service tax / state tax and NO cash tips required or excepted ...because the wage system for workers are been pay accordingly by the owner without have to degraded themself for the extra little pay ! Thanks for the upload

Correction: Shanghai Tower is the second tallest in the world as well as in Asia because Burj Khalifa is also in Asia. Technically, Merdeka 118 in Malaysia is taller including its 158 meters of spire but Shanghai Tower has more floors above.

The plates was so cleaned!means the food is good.

Thanks for taking me to china❤ The food looks amazing especially that veggie Stew

I used to live in Suzhou and visited Shanghai often on the weekends, and I gotta say, I'm glad to see that Gracie's had survived the pandemic. Watching your videos is giving me such strong nostalgia haha

It looks nicer and cleaner than in the U.S. for sure.

The good thing about the price is tax and tips are included. No extra cost. In United States now, tips is in huge inflation. Even in picking up a coffee, gratuity shows up after swiping card. Ridiculous.

Haven’t seen you visiting Yuyuan garden. It would be better to go at night with the lights all lit up. Don’t go on weekends though since it’s a popular site

I would guess Shanghai because i made many trips there LOL. I saw the Jin Mao tower next to Shanghai tower. I spent the whole day in the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and i still missed some parts of it. I need to get back to Shanghai

Best of all, you don't need to tip

感谢您向外国人展示真实的中国，北京、上海、广州不比世界上的发达城市差，其他的小城市虽然没有这么高的建筑，但是同样干净、好客、安全，欢迎您来中国，祝您旅程愉快！

$18 USD total ain't bad. Here in San Francisco, three old fashioned pancakes will be around $25 ($15 pancakes + 8.5% tax + 4% health surcharge + 18% tip).

good job Sly my man for showing what is really going on in China, thanks a lot!

The shanghai history museum is amazing although free. Loved it when we lived there and it is good place for family with kids. Shanghai zoo is very good place too for family with kids. Frankly, the living cost in Shanghai is pretty high.

Al's Diner is one of my favorite spots to eat in Shanghai...I was just there 2 weekends ago! ❣And I love their background soundtrack

They’re playing ATCQ’s 1st album at a random coffee shop in China? That’s dope.

Great content!💪🏽

You should have gone to the Supper Brand Mall when you were at the TV tower. The size of the Mall will blow you away. But the Bund at night and the Maglev Train on my list of the best thing to do when in Shanghai . The Yu garden , Nanjing Road at night, Shanghai a must see city was glade that I got to see it 25 years ago so much has change. I am always blow away how much it changes every trip I make. Shanghai to big of a place for me to live but it nice seeing it and visiting Shanghai no city in the world is like it.

My favorite supermarket chains in Shanghai is Hema. Worth trying.

The rule of thumb in Asia is, wherever you see a Line/Queue you try it, especially if the line is super long.

I spent three years studying in a Shanghai high school but I’ve never been inside the oriental pearl tower😮never knew there are so many things you could do in there.

白斩鸡 at Zhen-Ding Chicken (振鼎鸡) and 牛蛙饭 at Ha-Ling Noodle House (哈灵面馆) were my soul foods in Shanghai. Both are popular chain restaurants in town. Hope you could get a chance to try them!!

I am going to china on January I am so excited to go china 🇨🇳😁😆

I believe you mention one time that you have acrophobia. Me too. I would have been feeling the weight of the beautiful tower while using the Guinness-World-Record lift or elevator. Shanghai is definitely one of the world most modern cities with a stretch. I really like the sightseeeing of the CBD in this megacity. It is just wow! Go China! Thank you, sir

上海的城隍庙你一定要去看看，很经典。

Very good vblog! I enjoyed it…you did well!👍

$18 about equivalent to $15 in the US after tip. This is not fast food. So this is reasonable for for tourist breakfast.

I would love to come there

love your video. thanks.

Share that blueberry cake restaurant, please! Once I return to China, I will definitely go there and enjoy it!

2:00 looks better than IHOP lol

Enjoyed it. keep it up :)

Love your videos!

You are strongly advised to travel to Zibo, the recently well-known third tied city in Shandong.

That was crazy 18$ for a breadfast? LOL . I normally spend 1$ for breadfast and the food is good.

come to my resturant, Lenbach or tapatapa at columbus circle, you will love the food there

Ok...I've lived here 5 years and I have never done Shanghai Tower...I gotta change that (been working too much...and the pandemic didn't help)

Plenty of supermarkets, Costco, CitySuper, BLT…for some reason the Costco BBQ chicken is really famous.

Walmart in China is much simpler than that is in the States, if you just doing simple grocery shopping, pls going to local supermarket chain- Lianhua or Wu mart, you can check how their logos look like, they are available everywhere

Sly, you didn't think a lot, and you used that a lot as titles. LOL 1. travelers always pay more for non-local food because some ingredients are imported. we, me & GF, seasoned traveler always eat where locals eat. Central, Eastern Europe, Latin America, there's always small restaurant in their market, that's where we buy fruits and lunch. in Peru and Ecuador, big supermarkets have fresh baked bread few times per day. they have big varieties of bread and they sell it by weight. they also sell ready cooked food by weight. i missed their green rice. LOL 2. we, me & GF look for a furnished apartment when time to do laundry in Europe. furnished apartment is common in Europe, few in Latin America, less common in Asia. 3. in South America, restaurant have fixed price lunch or dinner, it consists of juice, soup, main dish of meat/fish, dessert. the food is warm, not hot. LOL you simply say carne(meat) pisco (fish). a. in Syria there are restaurants served only roast chicken. you walk in, find a seat, they'll bring you half of chicken. you pick a seat, eat, pay, and walk out. b. in Petra, Jordan i ordered a Shawarma at the same place second time. i told him i paid less than that the day before. he said he'll give me a discount. LOL that happened in Egypt and West Asia quite a bit. 4. we buy open-jaw tickets, that is you arrived in point A and departs from elsewhere. if we fly-in to Istanbul Turkey, we can travel on land by bus/train throughout Europe. we only need to keep an eye for departure city and date. it's more flexible and it gives you the choice to stay longer or shorter. 5. we always use local transportation. we asked reception to arrange taxi when needed and paid agreed on amount. never a hassle.

👍👍👍 Well done + Fantastic Personality 👍👍👍

I went to that tower maybe 2018. You missed out being there on a cloudy day. Views are spectacular on a clear day. Also, I lived in LA (still in China now) but there was a Fatburger on the bottom floor of the tower. I wonder if it’s still there? I know a lot of “western style” restaurants closed after 2020 when a lot of expats didn’t come back.

I will be checking those restaurants out next time i go to Shanghai.

17.06 I never go anywhere without my Aveeno too!😄

Cool

Breakfast is too expensive. For less than 20 yuan, you can have a super hearty Chinese breakfast.

It got me wondering how you plan to go to Jing’an Temple and next clip you exit at LuJiaZui😂

In Florida we have a very large and growing homeless population. How does Shanghai compare?

When Sly goes whooooooooo. You already know. That meal was good!

That was a strange mix of food.

Walmart's been closing stores in China in the past few years. So the one you tried to go to may have closed

To All Who Have Lived or Visited China, what is the most picturesque city/province?

Google map is not accurate there but Apple map is. Not sure if you use Apple phone tho

5月30日？好小子，今天是6月15日啊！我以为你还在上海呢。。。😝😜

If you dumplings, try Ding Tai Fung restaurant, it is famous. If you like hot food, how about Indian curry, look them up.

Oh by the way there should be a hotel on the top floor of Shanghai oriental TV tower. I will cost you 15,000 USD for one night. I saw a youtuber stay one night there. And he told us it is totally not worth it.

You can't complain about prices when eating/drinking at places with USD menus.

That's crazy to hear them playing 90's Hip Hop in China at the restaurant and it sounded like a song from A tribe called quest

You can also go to ”Xi an China”, Xi an is also a very good city, Xi an is the old capital，many ancient estimates

damn i live in shanghai too, hope to run into you

freedom comes with many surprises such as tent cities, drug, homelesses, homocides. insanity, broke

Shanghai is VERY expensive...

Sly, you are first guy I ever saw climbing the Shanghai center and the Oriental pearl tower in one day. Why go to the second tallest building right after getting out of the tallest one? They are almost alongside of each other so the views are quite identical... Such a waste of money... When you were in Lujiazui, it's a pity you didn't visit the museum of Art Pudong, which was designed by Ateliers Jean Nouvel. The museum is a piece of art in itself. If you are into museums, the China Pavilion is definately worth visiting and it's for free. Another nice choice is Shanghai Natural History Museum but don't go there on holidays because it would be full of kids.

I mean look at the trees😯

and that's tax included and no tip!

Sly, you were close to where my old house was.

UAE is also in Asia. So Shanghai tower is second tallest in asia

😊

8:00 ayo???

That food belongs to my stomach

Under the wood is still glass. Kidding

Veggie stew and blueberry pancakes

Since you are in Shanghai why not make your way to Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre. Please go to that museum to better understand and comprehend the Chinese people. Then create a video and tell us what you see and feel.

Purgatory eggs? Looks good.. I had no idea the food was this good in Purgatory 😂

OK, so, my advice in China, if you see those glass floor places, they love them there, they are everywhere, dont take the risk. There have been a few events of them breaking. Im sure in the bigger cities like this you will be fine, but personally, I just wouldnt trust it. They dont really have the same safety standards as other parts of the world, and as i say, there have actually been a few cases of those glass floor things breaking in China.

The surrounding cities, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuzhen, Nanjing, Wuxi are more interesting than Shanghai

China no 1 🇨🇳😘

you should go to xin tian di and visit the ccp birthplace

Too expensive for moi 😅

black brothers come to China. I recommend going to Shanghai, where people are more open

Please visit XiAn Zhangjiajie Chongqing Suzhou Yunnan Lijiang Dali Xinjiang

COME BACK TO CALI

希望你去的下一个城市是深圳

$18.50 for the delicious foods? mmmmm. definitely not cheap for my poor arse's standard. but it seems worth trying once.

It's NOT "WON", it's Yuan, with a Y. What is wrong with Americans that cant read English letters?

i think u got really a busy adventure day in this video... 2 towers in one day??? ... my legs will kill me if i were u... LOL 😂😂

Try some local food man.😄

The 'clouds' are probably smog.

The air looks thick with pollution unfortunately. City looks very similar to cities in the US but it has waay more people packed in there.

Come to China to eat hamburgers?

man, China is still smoggy as ever.....

🈲🈲🈲🈲hongkong country

Because everything is fake and made of cheap grade materials over there lol. They even sell fake rice, it’s made of plastic or rubber.

Fake channel.

Dear, if you want to finish interviewing Chinese cities, you need to spend a year.

I don't wanna dirty the glass. that's a lie.. hahahha i can feel my ball shrink watching that.. wth. haha

*It is NOT pronounced "won".* *It IS pronounced "YOU ON".*
