Two Mad Explorers, Naomi and Luke, documented their first Shanghai experience, describing it as overwhelming yet exciting. Their initial impressions focused on the city's modern infrastructure and the surprising number of foreigners. They checked into the U Lee hotel in the Hang po District, noting its luxurious amenities despite being outside their usual budget. The hotel lacked windows, a detail that surprisingly improved their sleep quality.
Their exploration of Yuyuan Garden and Bazaar revealed stunning traditional Chinese architecture and a bustling atmosphere. They noted the high volume of tourists, particularly due to overlapping summer holidays. The garden's intricate details and well-preserved structures left them blown away, although they recommended visiting during a less crowded time of year.
The food experience was a highlight, with a comical attempt at eating a popular crab and pork steamed bun. The bun's intense heat and unexpected fishiness provided a memorable, if messy, culinary adventure. The street food scene offered a fascinating glimpse into local life, with scallion pancakes and spare rib rice cakes capturing their attention.
Their visit to the Huangpu River offered stunning views of Shanghai's skyline, a spectacle of modern architecture and historic buildings. The contrast between the old and the new captivated them, highlighting Shanghai's unique blend of history and modernity. They concluded their first day with a positive impression, emphasizing the city's vibrant energy and its unique position as a foreigner-friendly entry point to China.
