Probably because we're the competition to the "White man world". However, this allows diversity, creativity and blossoming of Chinese culture because it's kept contained in this section of the world.

Thanks for your nice video. China is a peaceful country, it brings me tears and hope to know some decent foreigners are talking about China to the rest of the world. I hope the Western politicians and media will speak about the truth of China rather than smearing China to cover up their failures and corruptions in their system.

This video evokes a sense of nostalgia reminiscent of classic travel TV shows featuring a charismatic host, presenting a delightful sequence of food, people, and architecture. I even suspected it was filmed in the early 2000s! In contrast, the vibes from today's KZread travel vloggers are distinctly different. 😄

I agree with your suspicion it was filmed in the early 2000s. Cash was used to pay for breakfast. Today, this would be paid using the phone. Also noted people in the queues were not on their mobile phones. This would be unusual today.

From the xplay6 advertisement at 0:12, you can deduce that this is filmed later than Nov. 2016, and judging from the clothing of the people as well as the blooming vegetations, it can be deduced that this film is filmed around May-June 2017.

As we see that a lot of Chinese born young people who grew up in the western world got a negative image of China, I think this video will help broaden their mind. So I shared it with my 19 year old daughter hoping that some day she would ask me to take her into China and explore. Thank you Salmantha for this great piece of work!

Don't worry it is a phase. They want to fit in and disassociate themselves from their roots. They will get past this phase as they mature and care less about how others see them.

As an ABC I brim with pride watching this wonderful video. The people of Shanghai are humble, warm , generous and loving. What a wonderful city!!

In my mid to late teens I watched Samantha Brown on her travels to Europe and later discovered her travels in Asia. My fondest memory was an episode that she did in Vietnam and while staying at a home in the country side made a comment about this is the reason that I travel which resonated with me. Just wanted to say thanks Samantha for all of your hard work and being an inspiration for others with a passion for travel.

This travel documentary is truly exceptional!

Love your video. This local tour guide friend is great. As a Chinese, I can’t explain the foods better than her.

You made a great video, well structured and organized, covering all the nice spots. You seemed to be able to highlight key and interesting aspects of the city with people in the know.

I think your KZread videos should be shared by more people and you deserve it. As a Chinese in China mainland, I like your open-minded perspective to explore China and introduce the real Shanghai to the world.

Samantha Brown, long time no see. I used to watch your traveling videos probably more than 10 yr ago. Then you vanished or I got lost. I am glad you reappeared in my scope. I was born and grew up in Taiwan. I have been living in the US since 1960's. I visited Shanghai 24 y ago. At that time, there was only one skyscraper in Putong, the Pearl Tower. Only one piece is missing in this video is the views of the spectacular colorful light shows in the skyscrapers in Putong looking from the east bank of Huangpu river. I have seen these beautiful scenes taken from other travelers.

I'm so happy to bump into this episode by accident. I'm in Shanghai for some months and this video, the way it shows the city and the Shanghainese/Chinese people, was adorable, simple and beautiful. Thank you ❤

I am a Chinese from southwestern China. After living in America for over 30 years, I learned that Shanghai is my favorite city.

Samantha is such a charming lady. I really enjoyed this episode. I came from Shanghai.

整体节奏 质量和内容都好棒，值得更多播放

Thank you, Samantha. Great episode on Shanghai's traditional side where I grew up and knew well. Too many other videos only focused on the modern high-rises, without any sense of the true Shanghainese characters.

You're so lucky to have a friend show you the different food! They all looked soooo delicious 😍😍

Very rare to see a paper cutting artist like her so amazed everyone .... 🎉❤

This is a very professional clip of Shanghai! for one who lived in Shanghai for more than 20 years, I have not been to some of those places in this video! Thank you for introducing my hometown to the Americans.

Wow, is this a TV show? So well-produced. Thank you, Samantha! This is one of the best Shanghai travel show!
