Alex and his sister walk through Shanghai in the evening on a summer Wednesday, and the video turns into a night walking tour. The first stretch of Nanjing Road is extremely crowded, which they compare to a mass event, and they say it is not for anyone anxious or claustrophobic. They pass a famous old hotel, then reach a part of the shopping street with food shops, gadget and souvenir shops, technology stores, car shops, Apple stores and clothing stores. They walk through a loud, colorful food street with Turkish ice cream, octopus, insects, mutton, fried crab and bright shrimp, then pass a shop with a smoking dragon. Side streets are quieter, and the creators say local dumpling shops there have reasonable prices; a big meal of beef and dumplings the day before cost about $4. They talk about crossing roads, the relaxed crowd and the air conditioning in the shops. Back on Nanjing Road they see H&M, a Jordan shop, a huge Apple store and other global brands, and say Shanghai is one of the best places for shopping. At one of the main intersections they look at billboards, an Apple store, a Five Guys and a tech store with cars, phones and large screens, including a triple flip phone. They count at least 16 police officers at one intersection, about four per side, and end by saying they hope viewers felt they were there.

They describe the huge crowds, a loud and colorful food street, quieter side streets with local dumpling shops, and the large stores of global brands. The walk ends at one of the busiest intersections on Nanjing Road, where the creators see many police officers managing the crowds.

Shanghai Nanjing Road at Night: Crowds, Food Street and Shops
2:12 Nanjing Road on a summer evening is extremely crowded. The creators say the busiest stretch is not for anyone anxious or claustrophobic, but the crowd thins out quickly once you move away from that busiest section.
3:25 After the first food shops, the street has gadget and souvenir shops, which the creator finds mostly boring and says you can skip. Further on come technology stores, car shops, Apple stores and clothing stores.
4:49 The loud, colorful food street offers Turkish ice cream, octopus, insects and mutton. The creators mostly look and comment, and one of them says he never planned to eat the insects.
8:00 Side streets next to the main shopping road are pretty chill and quiet, so they make a good place to catch your breath and walk toward the shops when the main street gets too busy.
8:56 Walking along the quieter streets leads to local dumpling shops with reasonable prices. The creator says a big meal of beef and dumplings there cost about $4 the day before, and the portions were really nice.
9:56 On busy streets people do not run red lights because it is not practical, though the creators cross in quieter gray areas. People are relaxed, but if you stand in someone's way, you might catch an elbow.
11:54 Shops and malls along Nanjing Road have very good air conditioning, so you can step inside to cool down from the summer heat. The creators notice a cool breeze coming from a mall.
12:21 Nanjing Road has big global brands with large flagship stores, including H&M, a Jordan shop and a huge Apple store. The creator says Shanghai is one of the best places for shopping.
14:00 One of the main intersections of Nanjing Road always draws a huge crowd. The creators point out billboards, shiny pop-art displays, an Apple store and a Five Guys right at the corner.
15:55 Tech stores on Nanjing Road sell tons of phones, including a triple flip phone the creator had not seen before. He finds it impressive and very thin, though he would rather buy a tablet at that size.
16:49 At one crowded Nanjing Road intersection the creator counts at least 16 police officers, about four on each side, and calls it the management of masses. He says he would not want their job.
