We are Jacob and Jenny, a husband and wife passionate about traveling the world. We started uploading in May, 2021 with a goal to see as much of the globe as possible. After visiting Costa Rica and French Polynesia, the time was right to quit our full-time jobs, so we left everything to travel and have loved every minute of it. Our goal is to make it to all seven continents and visit as many countries as possible. Follow along and be a part of the journey!

Is China SAFE AT NIGHT? (Shanghai)

Food and local streets

Jacob and Jenny spend an evening exploring Shanghai, beginning with a ride-share trip to a Sunday night market. They describe the lights and cobbled streets and try scallion pancakes. The market is not especially crowded during their visit. They then head to an area with fewer tourists and look for food at a local eatery. The quieter setting gives them a chance to spend time among local businesses rather than staying only at the market. With no English menu, they use phone apps to communicate and order. Their meal includes Angus beef skewers, spicy chicken skewers and a dish made with sweet-smelling dough. They also notice that mobile payment is used during the outing.

Metro ride and the Bund

The couple take the metro and see security checks and metal detectors at the stations. Afterward, they walk through smaller streets, find a recently opened tea shop and relax at a bar with drinks and fries served with different sauces. Their final stop is the Bund, where they look across the water at the illuminated skyline and its reflections. The outing moves between a night market, a local eatery, public transit, neighborhood businesses and a familiar waterfront viewpoint. Jacob and Jenny describe what they try and see along this route, including the specific food, the phone apps they use to order, and the screening they notice at metro stations. The outing also challenges their initial concern about nighttime safety, and they describe the experience as safe and fun. Their route takes them from the market to dinner, through the station and neighborhood streets, and finally to the waterfront. Their account follows the evening through those stops and ends with the city lights reflected on the water.
