Shanghai, China Travel Guide | Was This Our Favorite Chinese City to Explore?

China Travelogue Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMTIzrGVkaEFTuYijh6Vx7pyg8Uhhwos5&si=A29OK8Mak8bhZVLa Shanghai: Our Grand China Finale 🇨🇳✨ This week, we wrap up our epic 9-city China adventure in dazzling Shanghai—a city where skyscrapers sparkle, soup dumplings come with straws, and high-speed trains whisk you between centuries. We stayed sky-high at the Grand Hyatt in the Jin Mao Tower, wandered Yu Garden, snacked our way down Nanjing Road, met up with some of our wonderful viewers (who fed us very well), and even dined in a futuristic restaurant with glowing walls and pigeon on the menu (yes, really). From serene temples to wartime heroes, pineapple buns to skyline views, Shanghai showed us every side of itself—and we loved every second. Next stop: Japan! But first, we’ll be sharing all our best tips for traveling China independently. You don’t want to miss it. Thanks for following along with us and happy journeys, John and Bev 💬 STAY CONNECTED WITH US!
