Shanghai: Overhyped or Am I Missing Something? #chinatravel

[Kristi Doyle]

Why are you dropping such inconvenient truths? Shanghai belongs to the rich!

[Steve Beatty]

Shanghai is stratified; those without money simply don't experience the same world or see the same sights as the wealthy do.

[Lula Schmidt]

That's true for any city, really.

[Dr. Danny Bayer]

Just a tad more prosperous than your Liaoning, perhaps.

[Misty Anderson DDS]

Hmm, not so sure about that.

[Ken Fahey]

Well, if you insist on comparing it to an international metropolis like Liaoning, then obviously Shanghai can't compete!

[Kathryn Hermiston]

No need for such blatant sarcasm.

[Katrina Ziemann]

If you're rich, it's 'Magic City' (Modu). If you're not, it's just Shanghai.

[Melinda Wilderman]

That's what everyone who hasn't been to Lujiazui says.

[Miss Angela Cormier]

If you don't have money and aren't inclined to seek out fun and entertainment, then even if you live and work in a supposedly great place, its vibrancy will still feel irrelevant to you.

[Carmen Willms]

I didn't find Nanjing particularly fun when I lived there either, not until I quit my job and actually took the time to explore and enjoy it.

[Felix Glover]

Perhaps you just haven't experienced the truly vibrant parts of it yet.
