    As a local, I'd say Shanghai isn't really a prime tourist city. It's great if you're into exhibitions or theater. But usually, when friends from out of town visit, they check out the Bund, City God Temple, and Disneyland, and then they're often stumped for other fun things to do.

      As a Shanghainese, it feels like you don't really get Shanghai. Places like West Bund Dream Center, Yuyuan Road, Zhangyuan, The Inlet, and Xintiandi are all fantastic for a citywalk. It's so much better than Wuhan... Shanghai is honestly the most chill city for a citywalk!

        That line, 'It gets dark at 5 PM, the pace really is fast,' is just too much...

          In Harbin, it gets dark at 4 PM. The pace is even faster there!

            Going to Zhujiajiao on a 3-day Shanghai trip is indeed a bit ambitious. You should see the Bund together with the North Bund. Normally, there are trash cans in subway stations and at bus stops, though there are fewer on the streets these days. Also, with so many hot pot places, couldn't you satisfy your craving for Sichuan/Chongqing food?

              Time was a bit tight, so I didn't get a chance to try it. Hopefully, I can give it a go next time!

                Just left Shanghai yesterday. The subway system was overwhelming, almost made me dizzy! Thankfully, the sights were beautiful.

                  What beautiful sights are there in Shanghai anyway?

                    Don't flame me for this, but the strong smell of smoke on some people in public transport and on the streets, plus a sewage odor that even international five-star hotels can't seem to eliminate... and the locals don't even seem to notice it. Nah.

                      Is the air in America sweet or something?

                        Shanghai isn't really a tourist city, to be honest...

                          It's a city for making money.

                              Your IP address shows you're in Shanghai. Do you still need the picture?

                                You walked from Yuyuan Road to Zhenning Road, then Wukang Road, Huaihai Road, all the way to Jiao Tong University. That's at least five kilometers! Of course, your feet are going to hurt.
