Shanghai Exploration: Culture, Dance & Marriage Market

Exploring Shanghai China.Watch as Jack and Paige take on China's Megacity of Shanghai, accompanied by our good friend Maxwell Carver! We start the morning in Fuxing Park, getting to know a couple Uncles before being taught to dance the Guang Chang Wu. After dancing in the park, we walk through the streets of Shanghai, the French Concession area before heading to Xintiandi where the first meeting of the CCP was held. After this, we head to Huaihai Bird Park where we get to know more about the bird scene and meet some craftsman and bird owners. After this, we are straight to the People's Park for the infamous Shanghai marriage market. We meet a man trying to learn Portuguese before trying to find Paige a new husband. We bargain with a marriage agent but inevitably Paige's demands are too high. We find some other buyers who want to offer Paige a new life in China, but we are swept away by our Portuguese learning man to sing Italian songs with him in the park. Not for long though before he wants to draw us a lovely portrait. After a busy day in Shanghai, we head over for lunch at a local spot and try Shanghai's most famous food, the soup dumpling or Xiaolongbao! We have a lovely lunch full of many Shanghai delicacies before we explore more of Shanghai.
