Just booked my trip to Shanghai and stumbled on your video. Looking forward to Shanghai! Thanks for the info from Korea~ Happy retirement to a sweet couple!
Thank you so much 😁💕 Hope you have an amazing time in Shanghai! Will it be your first trip to China? We're sharing a Things to know before traveling to China video this Sunday so hope that'll help if you've never been before 🙂 Happy new year btw and thanks for dropping us a comment 😁👍
It's pretty cool ay 😁 mum really enjoyed it too! Too bad she didn't get to do the cruise though as that was in a second part of our trip when we returned to Shanghai before going to Cambodia but mum and dad returned to NZ. Next time! 😁😉 Btw Happy New Year Charles 🥳 hope 2020 is an amazing year for you!
Ooo that's so cool 🙂 it must be such a pain to clean though I reckon ay hahah was thinking about all the dust and how do you clean that kind of massive model 😅
It was a great way to end our day 😁 actually we went to eat a super yum restaurant after that ride (in our best eats video) so it really really topped off the day haha 😁🙌
For a second I thought the shots at 7:30 were drone shots hahah Thanks for the recommendations for things to do in Shanghai! What a huge and fully packed city with so many awesome things to see and do.
Honestly most of the time when we go it's for the incredible food and family time haha but yea it's super cool to see how much and how fast the city keeps progressing 🏙️ their skyscrapers are so interesting and the cityscape changed drastically in just a few years!
Hahaha 😂😂 unfortunately that Dairy Queen didn't have the single cone plain vanilla one that Peter loved 😆 he was so happy to see it there then disappointed he couldn't have his ice cream 🍦 😂😂😂 big baby lol
I love it from the beginning to the end ahhhh 🥰 Thank you Peter & Yen for another spectacular video. Yen, I use the word “spectacular” because that’s what you said on the boat ride. And it’s how I feel about your video. Thank you for taking us along LOVE IT ✌🏼💕
Awww thank you 🥰 you're always leaving us the cutest and nicest comments Faye thanks heaps 😁 always brings a smile to our faces and we often read your comment out to each other ☺️ Wishing you all the best for an amazing 2020! 🥳👋
Watched July 2023. Ha! My first look at your channel before the New Zealand boarders closed episodes. Sooo fast information but you can see the evolution of the format.
Shanghai sure looks like a hip and happening city...Vibrant and bustling. Definitely a city we would like to visit one day. The cruise is a great way to absorb the city scape 👍
You guys should def try make a trip there! Loads of good food and one of the more foreigner friendly cities in China in terms of ease getting around and about 🙂
Hiya Jose 👋🙂 thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video 😁 we also have a things to know before going to China video coming out next Sunday so hopefully that helps you too if you haven't been to China before 🙂
Great video again this was very very helpful! Had to watch it in pieces since I ran out of data 😂that cut development museum place looked surprisingly empty but looked like a cool place!
Hahaha thanks heaps for watching it through despite having no data Sundai 😆❤️❤️ yea we were really surprised how empty it was! Some tour groups came later but it still never felt crowded there (which was a nice change in China) 😂
Hope you get to do it one day! Yea night time is awesome it's so colourful! Unfortunately the day we took the thumbnail photo it was pretty hazy so wasn't all that clear 😅
We have been to all those places except the urban planning centre. Great top 6 picks! Shanghai is such an amazing city with so many different things to see! We hope to bring the kids there too!
Thanks Andy (?) 😁👍 That's awesome you guys have been to almost all the places. It's such a modern metropolis ay then you turn a corner and it's like traditional as! That would be really cool to bring your kids one day 🙂 would be interesting to see what you guys get up to as a family there 🙂👍
@@PeterandYen Haha yes that was Andy cos he talks all prim and proper, hey? We did all of those before kids and I can probably guarantee that it's WAY more fun with no kids lol.
@@HangryByNature oh what!! I saw this message after writing the other one lolollll guess Peter was right after all 😂😂 My bad.. I'll give him his kudos! Must be the Malaysian in us.. I write more proper than Peter too lolol Haha I can imagine the kids not enjoying the Museum so much lolol but maybe the urban planning one they'd like. They had some kid sections there too 🙂
Visited this beautiful city last October, an awesome experience,loved the Bund --thanks for the show, look forward to visiting again Greetings from South Africa
Hello hello 👋😊 even though I was born in Shanghai we all live in New Zealand now. Every couple of years when we go to visit my auntie and grandma the city just impresses us all so much. Really cool place. Thanks for watching 👍
That's awesome to hear Andre! It's a really cool city 😁 next week we have a things to know before going to China video which you may find helpful too 🙂 thanks for dropping us a comment 😁🙌
Shanghai is an interesting place with modernity seen all around us. As an English Speaker I would say that China offers an interesting perspective for westerners out there. Getting a Visa costs about 50 US Dollars per Applicant put there.
Happy New Year guys! Really enjoyed this episode! Shanghai seems like a really cool city. I still teach English to some private students online and a lot of them live in Shanghai so it was great to see a little bit of their city ^_^
I've never been to China. Helmi's been to China long time ago like 20yrs ago LOL. I think I will love Shanghai coz it looks modern especially in the Bund area. Helmi would love the shopping and museum😆
Glad you enjoyed the video P Trevino 😁👍 yea the Shanghai museum is really cool! Awesome that it was free entry too. Happy new year btw, hope you have an amazing 2020!
We later found they actually have an entire clothing line too and they do something special to some of the clothes to make it smell just like the candy! When we sniffed it we were like 😮🤩
Thanks heaps James!! Tomorrow is our final video from our time in China just wrapping up things to know before going (not that you'll need any of that advice haha) 🙂 Have an amazing time! 🎉
Awesome guide - Yu Yuan Gardens in particular at night is beautiful when it's all lit up and walking along the Bund is always nice despite how packed it can get 😅
Huangpu cruise seems really worth! Yen's romantic standard is really high, you need to try harder Peter 😂 You both are too cute!! Love the episode guys! 😍
Hahaha thanks guys!! ❤😁 Lolll I dunno what it is but every time Peter says something is romantic it comes out so funny and cheesy that I can't handle it 😂😂
So cool to go back to your birth place. Shanghai is on our list for sure. $900,000?!!! Whoaaa Very interesting to see the mix of architecture. Tianzifang would be a must for us. I (Maria) would go crazy. We had ice cream made with that candy!!!! The urban planning there is so impressive. And that model is so cool. The cruise is something we definitively want to do. The views!
@@seliamatonks3406 so good! I love that Auckland has so many bubble tea places too.. even preferred it over a lot of the ones I had in China! 😁 I think it's coz milk in NZ is just the best 🤍🥛
@@seliamatonks3406 aww thank you so much 🥰🥰 we're currently back in NZ for a few weeks. It's nice to be home but looking forward to our next year travels too.. got heaps of places lined up ☺️🙌 Thank you for all the support always Seliama ❤️❤️☺️
Very comprehensive video guys. Lots of useful info 👍 Nice tip on where to pick up souvenirs. Interesting story about the bridge and the museum is impressive! Pretty cool that it’s free.
Thanks Dave 😁👍 In Shanghai you're seriously spoilt for shopping lol and yea it's a cool museum 🙂 even the architecture of the building is unusual and interesting!
Hi Joe Joe 🙂👋 happy to hear that! Next week we have a things to know before going to China video which you'll hopefully find helpful if you've never been before 🙂
Amazing...super educational. Love learning about history. It makes moving forward to learn how much had changed. The people on history so respected. It's also makes whom.....the people are today...moving forward.
This seems to be a very interesting city, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
It's such an incredible city! How awesome your school took you there 😯👍 We miss Shanghai too and made this video when we were there in Oct-Nov last year 🙂
Great share guys! 🙌The architecture around Yu garden is soo traditional and lots of great stuff there too 😍 We also love Tianzifang area and bought some white rabbit candies too 😁 haven’t been to the museum and urban planning centre, looks cool! 👍
have to agree with all the comments here. a great video from start to finish , one thing about you two is the consistency of your blogs, you both should really think about pursuing media as your future careers, HAPPY NEW YEAR
Hahaha thanks heaps Barry! 😁💕 We'll keep doing this as long as it's fun and people are watching and enjoying our videos 🙂👍 Happy New Year to you too! 🥳💕
Thanks Franklin 👋 Shanghai is amazing! We were really fortunate and thankful we visited China last year and did a massive trip (a lot of it with our parents who are getting old now). Made many videos during our travels there in case you want to see more 👍 Have a great weekend!
Another excellent video guys. The river cruise looked spectacular alright. I can imagine :- going there around sunset and getting to see the lights coming on, in such a magnificent setting. If I should ever return to Shanghai, I'd love to go on it. It's good that you've captured it in your video.
Ya if you ever go back again that'll be a cool cruise to take Dad.. maybe even more buildings by then to add to the already incredible cityscape! Can you guess which one of us is writing this message to you Dad? 😁
I didn't spot any spelling mistakes, so I looked for punctuation marks. :) On a closer look, the double full stop which I missed first time around, absolved you of poor punctuation. My mistake, I'll just blame my failing eyesight in the wee hours..... :)
Thanks Leon 😊 we love Shanghai too! The food is the best 😋 we made quite a few vlogs while we were in China last year. Really enjoyed our time there. Wonder when we'll be able to travel overseas again. In the mean time thankfully we're in beautiful NZ 🙂 take care and have a nice weekend ahead!
Love the lights at night. The British and French architecture is really pretty though. That bridge history reminds me of the Mexico wall, asking them to pay and build their own wall, oh well... politics 🙁 Whoaaaa that's one huge bottle opener 😆 I would love to visit the museum 😄 that's a lot of white rabbit goodies!! 😍
So pretty with all the lights and sparkliness ay! Yea pretty stink history huh.. apparently there use to be a sign that said something like no dogs or Chinese allowed at some public park in Shanghai under the foreign concession which must feel so insulting especially in your own country @.@ glad that's all in the past though and the city has been booming and thriving! Haha ya I went a bit nuts buying the white rabbit products as gifts lolll ending up getting so many 😂
It's quite an amazing place. Hopefully when the world eventually returns to some form of "normality" more people will discover the beauty of Shanghai too 👍
Happy new year Nani! 🙂 Hope you had a great Xmas too 😁 Shanghai is a full on mega metropolis and filled with heaps of traditional buildings too. Awesome mix of old and new 🙂
Loved Shanghai. My favourite part was definitely walking along the Bund. Couldn't help but start humming the famous "Shanghai grand" song as I was strolling. Thinking bout all the history from those old chinese triad movies haha
Heya Te ngu 👋🙂 how have you been? Happy Easter! Oh my goodness hahahah that's awesome you know Shanghai Grand! Such a classic 😁👍 Those old Chinese movies were 🔥 The bund is rather spectacular ❤️ Hope you're well and keeping safe!
Hello 😃 Thank you for the wonderful videos of Morocco, I will be going early October. I was wondering, what time of the year you were there? I love traveling!!!! All the best! I thank you also for the suggestions about places and also for references people guides.
Awesome video! Beautiful view of the Bund at night. Feel that Shanghai is not too overwhelming compared to other parts of China, what do you think? Seems it is easier to go around and more tourist friendly. ;p
Got my visa and was all ready to go to Shanghai (was scheduled to fly out in two weeks), but looks like it will have to be another day... flight was cancelled. More importantly, I hope things will get better soon for the people in China... heavy heart for what they are going through right now😢 Thank you again for all the tips and information... it’ll be put to good use hopefully sooner than later. Hope all your friends and family in China are okay...
Aw no that sux your flight and trip got cancelled but might be for the better for now while they try get the whole virus more under control especially since it sounds like it's hard to get out of certain parts of China too and some countries like Australia even temporarily banning flights from China 😕 Thank you for the concern, our family and friends in China are doing fine! Everyone is just being cautious. Hope you'll eventually get the chance to go when things are cleared and under control!
Peter and Yen Wow... I’m sure many other countries will do the same in the coming days. Glad to hear your family and friends are well. Be safe in your travels, and thank you~
Thanks heaps Felix! Yea we always enjoy our time in Shanghai and now we got to vlog it for the first time so have the memories in videos forever 😁 Happy new year btw! Hope your 2020 is awesome ☺️👍
Peter why did you decide to leave China at only 3 years old? You’re so adventurous! Just kidding 😃 I’m going to Shanghai next month for about the tenth time. But it’s so huge I’ve only seen a little. The first time I was overwhelmed. I always stay in the Nanjing West Road area because I like it and I’m familiar with it
Hey James 👋 happy new year! Hahaha traveler since young eh 😆😂 So awesome you're going back to Shanghai again! I bet there's heaps of places you could recommend too 👍 Nanjing Lu is a cool shopping district. Much like other places in Asia but I think the best store there is their Nike shop. Insanely modern with the coolest basketball court in the middle of the shop. Yea Shanghai is massive ay! We're jealous of all the good food you'll be eating again soon 😁 Have an awesome time!
Peter and Yen I told you in another message I’m staying near Jing An temple. I like Nanjing West Road. Not so crazy about Nanjing East Road. Second time in Shanghai I was the victim of scammers. They like to target tourists. But your videos are all positive and I like that
Aw man sucks you were the victim of scammers! Yea as a tourist always gotta have guard up just in case ay? Thanks James! It's always cool to hear that people enjoy our videos 🙂👍💕
Thanks so much! We're really lucky we were able to visit last year well before the pandemic and got a chance to see Grandma and aunty.. don't know when we'll next be able to 😕
@@PeterandYen Yes, the situation is very critical. In Shanghai it is getting better now. Here in Germany it is not even on the peek. I used to live in Shanghai for more than 8 years and returned end of 2018. My wife is still living in Shanghai.
Hey there! Good job with the video. I live in Shanghai for almost 2 years now and need to admit, it's a really amazing mix between old&new Glad you were able to show all the best spots for newcomers! I am making some videos about spots in Shanghai too, if you would like to check it out :) Cheers from China!
foreigners were also over that bridge, hongkou was also part of the foreign settlement. the chinese city was the old town, where yu gardens is located. although you wouldn't know it, the history has been stripped from that place.
Hahaha thanks Tony 😂👍 yea Shanghai is a really cool city. The food is 🤤🤤 and it's so modern but then you turn a street and it's like old and traditional. Also more foreigner friendly than some other cities in China for sure especially in terms of ease of getting around and about 🙂👍 that model of the city was so cool.. we saw one in Xi'an and thought that was impressive then we saw this one in Shanghai and was like yeah nah that blows it out of the water lolll 😆🏙️
The population in Shanghai is quite diverse;you have people there from Chinese peasant workers all the way up to American billionaires, which is really incredible.
Rn so really good to go to some of the crowded places if ur brave enough, cuz right now the corona virus has scared a lot of the people from these places.
This video has picked the right spots but the hosts are speaking in a rush. You know, like reciting the scripts. For those people who doesn't know Shanghai already, it is difficult to feel the beauty out. I suggest to split the Video into several parts and go more details on each part. For example, how good is the Xiaolong Bao. Maybe you can make include snippet of enjoying eating them.
Hi! Will be going to shanghai next month around Feb 21-26, what will be the weather during that time? What do you recommend for us to bring/pack? Thanks! ☺️
Hiya Sarah 👋🙂 how exciting! Late Feb it's still pretty cold and can be wet too. Usually around something like 3-10 degrees Celsius so definitely wanna still have warm jackets!
Btw we made a video about Things to know before traveling to China in case you want to check it out 🙂👍 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tD1NVTQMCWc.html Hope you find it useful! 🙂
Was definitely affordable and a good way to get around. We often used Didi rider though especially when with both sets of our parents around 🙂 next week we have a things to know before going to China video which hopefully you guys will find useful for your trip! 😉👍
@@PeterandYen I'd call the Beer Lady near Xinzha road "Heaven". Other than that, no. Yeah, totally, I'm looking forward to being back as soon as the foreigner ban is lifted. Just been watching Shanghai videos missing my home from home.
