Chris Must List begins by declaring Shanghai the most modern city in the world, describing the sensory overload of neon, malls, and advanced vending concepts. He scavenges the night with a list of new foods to try, from candy-like figurines to mysterious boxed items, and narrates his interactions with police presence and the general sense of safety. He visits a futuristic store, marvels at an ultra-luxe car showroom inside a phone shop, and conversations revolve around culture, branding, and the thrill of discovery. The stroll along the Bund introduces him to historic European-style buildings juxtaposed with modern glass towers, and he toys with tech like secret glasses and ChatGPT for quick travel context. He shares personal reflections on gratitude, travel gear, and the joy of seeing Shanghai up close, while peppering in humorous misadventures, stinky tofu challenges, and cravings for local delicacies. He ends with a plan to hit Old Town and a late-night walk back to his hotel, offering encouragement to viewers to explore without GPS and to engage with local vendors to learn more about the city’s heartbeat.

He compares Shanghai’s vibe to Las Vegas and New York, noting the neon, towers, and a pedestrian street that feels like a future-forward Disney world.

He experiments with new foods on a scavenger hunt, from futuristic snack options to the infamous stinky tofu, which becomes a memorable low point both for smell and hilarity as he breathes it in and ultimately powers through to try other items. He chats with the audience about whether filming is permitted, interacts with police presence, and marvels at the city’s safety and order, even as he admits language barriers and the occasional source of confusion. He notices the Bund’s European-inspired architecture on one side and gleef
