I am a 45-year-old Shanghai native. The biggest charm of Shanghai lies in its inclusiveness, welcoming friends from all over the world to enjoy everything here.

I’m from Shanghai and I feel like I have no choice but love shanghai right? I also lived in New York where everyone try to say the two cities are comparable, but I honestly don’t feel the same at all. Shanghai is modern in the way of New York, but the vibe is softer, more artistic, and safer.

@unka2007 Год назад

no. Shanghai is not comparable with NYC…. Shanghai looks cheaper and their wages are 10 times cheaper than New Yorkers.

@jfjhgu7287 Год назад

@@unka2007 a young girl could walk around Shanghai in the midnight at a dark street, can girls in NYC do? Anyone with common sense won’t. Yes I know people will say that NYC is more democratic, but you have to stay alive to vote, right? For most ordinary people, we just want to live in a place without gun violence, drug(including marijuana), robbery, feels fear-free when riding subways in the night. I have people telling me” you have to always watch surrounding “ in NYC. No sorry, you don’t have to in Shanghai at all.

Shanghai is a wonderfull city. I lived/worked there in 2007 for half a year and only 10 months later i went back for another 5 months, because i missed it so much. Both times i lived between shanghai stadium and Xujiahui. In 2010 was the last time i was in Shanghai for a 3 wk holiday. Hopefully i will go back there some day.

@tc2334 Год назад

In addition to the reasons mentioned in the video, I think foreigners like Shanghai simply because it's easy. It's easily navigable, lots of people speak English (and other foreign languages), excess of not just western food, but *very* high-end western food, and not just a foreign "community", but a foreign *population* . Other cities are big, easily navigable, have lots of locals who speak English, have high-end western food and foreigners too. Beijing, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou immediately spring to mind, but Shanghai just has all these things in the extreme. Because of that, it makes life simply easier and more comfortable for foreigners, so lots of us flock there. Even the people that don't prefer living in Shanghai (like myself) can't honestly say it's a bad place.

Worked in Shanghai 5 days a week for 2 years. Weekends in Hangzhou though. Can you tell if this foreigner "loved" Shanghai? It doesn't have a Longjing, a Yanggongdi or Meijiawu, does it? It's got buildings though, lots of them. I suppose some foreigners like endless buildings. Good food and easy-going vibe in Shanghai, I must admit.
