Tony takes a taxi from his Pudong hotel to begin a night walk through Shanghai, with a planned route of about 7.2 km. He passes a television and radio tower, whose display says it was completed in 1994, then walks through shopping areas and quieter backstreets while discussing his impressions of safety. Along the way he talks with local residents, stops to share a beer with people celebrating, and visits a restaurant serving Southeast Asian food before continuing toward his hotel.
A night walk to checkout the safety of a metropolis city in China and met some wonderful people in doing so.
Tony begins in Shanghai after arriving the previous night and taking a Didi or taxi from his hotel in Pudong to the start of a planned 7.2 km walk back. The video frames the walk as a personal look at feeling safe in the city at night, including quieter streets and areas he initially describes as darker. He meets Mark and Vicky, who live in Hangzhou and Guangzhou and studied abroad, then visits a television and radio tower. A display says the tower was completed on 1 October 1994 and was originally built as a TV and radio tower with a hotel in its middle dome; it remains a sightseeing spot and radio operations continue. Tony recalls visiting Shanghai in 2005 and returning 21 years later. He walks through shopping areas and backstreets, notes a passage through a building to cross a main road, and comments on footpaths and cycle lanes. He talks about his awareness of his surroundings, encounters people at a bar and restaurant, shares a beer with a group, and recommends the venue for its Southeast Asian food. He continues walking through quieter streets toward his hotel. The safety observations are the presenter's personal experience on this walk, not an official or universal safety guarantee. No filming month is stated.
