This vlog follows Suzy's first trip to Shanghai, China, documenting her experiences exploring the city's iconic landmarks and indulging in its unique cuisine. The video begins with Suzy describing her cough and the pleasant weather in Shanghai. She then details a day of sightseeing, starting with a quick brunch before heading to Nanjing East Road and the Bund. The Bund, a famous waterfront area, proved to be incredibly crowded, but Suzy and Jason persevered, holding hands to avoid getting separated in the throngs of people. Their plan was to cross the Bund, shop, eat, and return in the evening to see the Bund lit up. They encountered a massive crowd attempting to cross the street, highlighting the sheer scale of the city's population. To cross the river, they took the sightseeing tunnel ride, a unique experience described as reminiscent of Doctor Who. Suzy shares a fun fact about the tunnel's original purpose as a pedestrian walkway. Next, they visited the Super Brand Mall, a surprisingly large and vibrant shopping center with a dedicated children's floor resembling an amusement park. Their attempt to enjoy a sunset dinner by the Bund was thwarted by a long waitlist, forcing them to search for alternative dining options amidst the city's bustling nightlife. They eventually found a unique hotpot restaurant, where the broth was replaced with plain water and herbs, making the sauce crucial for flavor. After dinner, they returned to the Bund to witness its spectacular nighttime illumination. The large crowd made filming difficult, requiring Jason to act as a human tripod. The following day, Suzy's health worsened due to Shanghai's air quality and prevalent smoking, which she found to be pervasive even in indoor spaces. Suzy and Jason then ventured into the suburbs to visit Jason's relatives. They were warmly welcomed and received generous gifts from Jason's grandmother, including red envelopes and necklaces. A traditional Chinese meal followed, with Suzy noting the specific order of dishes and the overall sweetness of Shanghainese cuisine. Suzy highlights her love for a lotus root glaze in sweet sauce. Despite her illness, Suzy felt energized by the family's kindness and generosity. Afterward, they explored the area, enjoying more tanghulu, and discovered that the paper wrapper was edible rice paper. Finally, they tried Luckin Coffee, a popular Chinese coffee chain. The vlog concludes with Suzy expressing gratitude to her viewers and encouraging them to like, subscribe, and comment.
