The Bund, gardens, and central Shanghai

Ride With Gabi and Ploy spend five days in Shanghai, a major global financial center with a rich cultural history. They begin at a duplex with a broad city view. The older building has maintenance issues, the bathroom smells unpleasant, and the room costs $75 a night. They visit the Bund, the waterfront known for its skyline, then go to Yu Garden. It is crowded, but Gabi appreciates the classical garden. Nearby, Yuyuan Old Street combines traditional and modern shops. They try Chongqing hot pot and divide it between spicy and mild broth because Gabi does not like very spicy food. Nanjing Road follows, a long, busy street for shopping and dining.

The pair also visit Tianzifang and Xintiandi in the French Concession. Gabi is surprised by the European feel of the architecture. They meet Tony, a follower who had encouraged Gabi to visit China. At the Jade Buddha Temple, they see its two jade Buddha statues. Nighttime views from the Bund are another highlight, and the vlog also shows the Fairmont Peace Hotel and the Pearl TV Tower.

Towers, tunnel, and local life

They ride through the Bund tunnel, an underwater route across the river, and visit Shanghai Tower, described as China's tallest building. They compare it with other tall buildings and mention the Oriental Pearl TV Tower as another viewpoint. Their route also includes nightlife and public spaces: at People's Park and People's Square, they see the marriage market held on weekends. The tunnel, tower, landmarks, and market bring together different sides of the city without making the five-day trip only about its skyline.

Gabi and Ploy say Shanghai exceeded their expectations and recommend avoiding summer because of the heat and humidity. Their account includes the crowds at Yu Garden, the hot pot's two spice levels, the duplex's view and maintenance, and the distinct architecture of the French Concession. The itinerary moves from the waterfront and garden to shopping streets, temples, towers, and a local weekend gathering.
