This Chinese New Year, Tim Chambers embarked on a cycling adventure in Shanghai, starting with a ferry ride across the Huangpu River from Puxi to Pudong. His journey focused on exploring the East Bund cycle track, checking if its southern extension was complete, a project he had previously documented.
The video begins with Tim on an e-scooter, heading towards the ferry with William. They take the ferry, noting the cost for both people and bikes. The ferry crossing offers a great view of the city's skyline and the river traffic. Once on the Pudong side, they rent e-bikes, showcasing the ease of the Alipay system for bike rentals.
The cycling portion of the journey reveals a newly extended and well-maintained cycle path. Tim points out various points of interest along the route: art museums, a center of photography, a developing area for AI work, and repurposed oil tankers converted into AR spaces. He highlights the integration of parks and recreational facilities into the urban landscape, showcasing a new sports center and a dog park, all while providing commentary on the infrastructure and design.
Tim notes a surprising discovery: the extension of the cycle path. He and William stop at several parks, one of which features a playground and climbing structures. They also encounter a security guard who politely requests them to leave a grassy area, highlighting a common, yet often subtle, aspect of navigating public spaces in China.
Their ride continues, revealing a long, straight section of the path that eventually ends at a wall, marked with characters that seem to suggest the path's continuation. They discuss the development's aesthetic and the incorporation of old cranes and warehouses into the scenery. The video concludes with their return ferry ride and a revisit to the Long Hua Pagoda and Temple, ending their adventure in a place that feels both familiar and renewed.
Throughout the video, Tim shares personal observations, demonstrating his familiarity with the city and its evolving infrastructure. He also shares insights into local customs and interactions with locals, offering a balanced perspective on the urban landscape. The journey is punctuated with moments of discovery, relaxation, and quiet contemplation, creating a compelling narrative of exploration and appreciation for Shanghai's unique character.

I think it's usually two yuan for a person and 2.8 yuan for a bike.
How far did the cycle track go?
We only cycled about 3 or 4km, but it got us halfway to the next ferry.
What was the most surprising thing you found?
Probably the extension of the cycle path and all the new parks along the way!
Were there any issues with leaving bikes unattended?
Yes, the app directed me to a paid parking zone that was 10 RMB, but it only ended up costing 1 RMB because we used the ferry within a certain timeframe.
