Along the way, I attempt to visit the famous Yu Garden, take a very unusual trip across the Huangpu River, and head up one of Shanghai's most iconic observation towers.
Planning a trip to China?
👉 Alipay - Set up your bank card & ID!
👉 DiDi - Set up INSIDE Alipay (Much Easier)
👉 AMAPs - The China answer to Google maps! (Google Maps will NOT be accurate 🤣)

Thanks to Ash from @AshandKels for coming to Shanghai!!
We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day thanks to your support ❤️
Jordan and Emily’s narrator spends a day around Shanghai, staying at the Holiday Inn Express on the Bund and visiting nearby sights. He describes breakfast at the hotel, walks through the Yu Garden District, and finds that Yu Garden is sold out during a major holiday despite booking the previous day. He visits a small park, crosses the Huangpu River through an unusual tunnel ride, and goes to an observation deck with a glass floor. Back at the hotel, he shows the lobby, facilities and room, including laundry, a heated toilet, a safe, daily water, a minibar and a city view. He says the room costs about $140 per night, with the price changing by demand. At the end, he compares it with a friend’s suite.

Jordan and Emily’s narrator says that finding a hotel in the right part of Shanghai can be difficult because the city is large and he believes getting around from the wrong area can take hours. He spends the next day at the Holiday Inn Express on the Bund, starting with its included breakfast. He describes the breakfast selection and says the dining area opens at 6:00 and closes at 10:30. He walks through the Yu Garden District and says the area is busy on weekends and public holidays. He tries to enter Yu Garden but learns that tickets have been sold out for weeks; he had booked the previous day and advises booking early and checking that the reservation worked. He finds another small park with a band playing, then describes Shanghai buildings and a ride across the Huangpu River through a tunnel. He says a one-way ticket costs about 18 Australian dollars and compares it with taking a Didi, ferry or public transport. He goes to an observation tower with a glass floor, describing queues and crowds, then returns to the hotel. He shows the lobby, gym, laundry and his room, including its bathroom, heated toilet, safe, daily water, minibar, shower, bed, charging outlets and city view. He says the room costs about $140 per night and that the price changes with demand. He also says guests can use the laundry for free when it is available. At the end, he shows a friend’s suite and compares its views and room size with the earlier room.

5:33 During a major holiday, the narrator found Yu Garden sold out even though he booked the day before. He recommends booking early and checking that the reservation actually went through; he says the next available entry was eight days later.
7:59 The narrator lists a ferry, a Didi ride over a bridge and public transport as ways across the river, then takes the tunnel ride. He says his one-way ticket cost about 18 Australian dollars, which he found expensive compared with a Didi.
