Kameilong is back in Shanghai after more than two years away and reflects on the city from the perspective of someone who has since lived in China. He says he had previously spent most of his time around Nanjing Pedestrian Street and the Bund, while this visit included neighborhoods farther from the core. He visits Longhua Temple, describes its grounds as serene and says he spent almost an hour there. He says he avoids filming people closely and understands that visitors should not film inside the temple; he also notes that he is unsure of all the etiquette. Across a walk and subway ride to a noodle restaurant, he compares Shanghai with Toronto, New York and Tokyo, drawing on his experiences in those cities. He describes Shanghai as large and international, says some parts remind him of Toronto and New York, and says parts of the city feel reminiscent of Tokyo. He says he finds Shanghai more expensive than Chongqing and estimates a taxi or ride-hailing trip he considered would cost around 60 RMB each way, while cycling would take about 50 minutes. He tries dry noodles, fried pork and eel at a local restaurant and recommends the place based on his meal and the staff. He concludes that Shanghai is convenient and comfortable for a foreign resident but says he still prefers living in Chongqing.
Kameilong returns to Shanghai after living in China for about two years and reflects on how the city compares with Toronto, New York and Tokyo. He visits Longhua Temple, discusses its filming etiquette, rides the subway to a noodle restaurant and talks about the city's scale, costs, international feel and familiar neighborhoods. The video ends with his thoughts on living in Shanghai versus Chongqing.
Kameilong revisits Shanghai, visits Longhua Temple and compares the city with Toronto, New York and Tokyo over noodles.
