PhatLife Project's return to Shanghai after eight years proves the city is even more dazzling than remembered. From the moment he lands, he dives into the iconic crab roe xiaolongbao at Lai Lai Xiao Long, a Michelin Bib Gourmand spot where the queue moves fast and the dumplings are bursting with flavor. The evening brings him to Nanjing Road, a sensory overload of neon lights and massive stores like the world's largest Miniso Land and PopMart. He finds a clever hack for viewing the Bund skyline without crowds: a drink at Conde Restaurant on level five of the Regent. Then it's off to a hidden speakeasy behind a barber shop facade, setting the tone for a trip full of secret bars.
