  • beautiful... and what is the song name?

  • if you've ever been to this place, you gotta love that video!! amazing atmosphere, brilliant music, shanghai, you rock!!!!!

    hopefully we'll meet again, soon

  • I just came back from China a few weeks ago and I am honestly disappointed in how Shanghai looks now, it's too westernized, I liked the older parts of it better.

  • this vid like a crap,and I am shanghainese.

  • @paul888777

    The accent of your people is awful.

  • Beautiful! I love it!

  • AHHHHHHHHHH i love china! i love Asia! i REALLY ADMIRE people from asia!! they are so COOL!

  • I just returned from China. One of the things that was so obvious is that the new prosperity of the Chinese people is allowing them to now tour their own country. They were as excited as we were about the sights! Shanghai was my favorite. Such a beautiful and exciting city!

  • Everyone has a silly hat.

  • How a beautiful city, and how cute people there are!

  • The sky is very blue!

  • what is weather like around march 20th? what is the average temperature??

  • @mp3charmed could be around 7 C.

  • What a nice video!

  • the most beautiful and advance city on the earth right now. Shanghai is flying high. why don't you people giva credit to chinese for hard working come on

  • I like all the haters talking smack about China, well, do they care? They don't, haha so keep wasting your breath here while they continue to grow

  • just like raman noodles....... skyscrapers rise!

  • When I was there with my university, the teacher said something-- "All the Chinese take pictures of the New Shanghai (i.e. Pudong) and all the Westerners take pictures of the old"

  • @ctnelectric

    C'mon, it's okay.. If u feel sad about it, CRY AND LEAVE!

    You all think negative stuff about China, but you know? I thinks it's just envy ;)

    Americans don't feel 'important' anymore if they see a wonderfull city they've never seen before..

    I don't hear Europeans nagging? You know why? BECAUSE WE DONT HAVE NO A BIG ASS EGO.

    So shut up and get over the fact that China is growing beyond where America is now.

    Have a nice life.

  • I will go to shanghai

  • Shenzhen is better than shanghai ,FOR SURE

  • @charles198877

    sure what? Shenzhen is a village compared to Shanghai. Shenzhen has no history, no culture. Don't compare any other chinese cities (including Hong Kong) to Shanghai, it's not comparable. Shanghai is way better.

  • @charles198877

    nope

    

  • Different people Different story's in Shanghai

  • i like china but i really love india ....... anyways i dont hate anyone

  • Beautifully filmed and with a very mellow soundtrack.This really is going to be the century of China - let's see with interest what they make of it.

  • i love this city,great.

  • Big greetings to chinese people from people of Serbia! You have a wonderful country and especially wonderful culture.

  • so many cameras...omfg :D

  • Beautiful film

  • Loved the hats and the 'bodybuilder' kid :D

    And there is smog during the winter in almost all industrialized cities, nothing to fight about there.

    Am an Indian, and think that China's economic achievements (esp infrastructure) have been huge. Any other developing nation will really need to pull up its socks to match them. India is trying, but it'll take a while. Plus you don't have our &*($*#@ politicians! Let's have a free trade treaty and you can import our politicians :)

  • 中國歡迎你們,改革開放的中國已經不是舊中國!我們愛我們的國家­,也愛我們的人民。同時也歡迎各位外國朋友來中國,用真實的眼光­看待這個具有歷史悠久的中國,也有發達潛力的城市!

    Then you must speak to confucious.

  • Any one know the music piece for this video?

  • Beautiful!

  • That was beautiful! Just the wat it is and I love it!

  • So many different people, so many different stories

  • the spirit of a city and it's people are captured beautifully!

  • I want to bundle up and go to Shanghai

  • As an American, I believe that anybody who seriously says the phrase "AMERICA F*CK YEAH" deserves to be kicked out of the country.

  • all that skyline can not hide the SMOG

  • @ctnelectric

    Some guys can not distinguish between smog and fog. You say that is smog, ok, then San Fransico and London is even worse. Shanghai is a coast city,it's inevitable.But you can argue" No, London and San Fransico has fog but chinese city must have smog." Haha, everything in China is negative,eh? Let it be. This is the logic of western people and media. Let it be.

  • @ctnelectric is it fog. i did not know that fog could be brown. listen commie, if you want to be a super power than you have to have thicker skin. you can bully tibetians and your own people but we did create the internet, what have u guys done besides stealing every f-ing idea, huh? have u been to SF, they have FOG. LA on the other hand have HEAVY SMOG. CHINA does everything to make themselves look bad. CENSORING THE INTERNET!!!!! yeah i'll give u that is FOG, WTF about freedom. USA F-ing YEAH!

  • in two month i will be there for one year

    yeahaaa, i'm soooo happy :D

  • @goQify you'll luv it there if you luv food and nightlife.

  • This is a big city. It have a best skyline

  • Shanghai!!!!!!! You are really fantastic!!!

  • I've been to the Bund it's great

  • This comment is @ lustdog @ FFanatic4 and @ CHRISINMSU... you guys/gals are being Racist by saying all that......btw We are all racist and bias toward each other so SHUT UP and enjoy the video...if NOT than don't watch it !!!

  • new fake window of china to the world .

  • Excellent video, Dan. Wonder if the man will be selling his caps on the Bund in October? Xin nian kuai le from baobei laohu.

  • good!!!!!!

  • That's where I am from!

  • basejumping paradise

  • I was there when Pudong was nearly empty.

    The straights were very wide and I now realize why. Chinese plan for the future very well.

  • I can't stop crying when I saw it. I miss the city so much and now Im 30,000 miles away from it, nothing in illinois can compared 2 the city.

  • to missdior36: why not go back then?

  • 中國萬歲!!

  • Chinese never hate Indian . as fas as i know, Chinese never being so racist . i know that, because I'm Chinese. ^^

  • Britain?

  • @christinelee91

    Firstly, you can't represent all Chinese. Secondly, if you go aboard and have Indian all around you and see how they behave. I think you'll give it a second thought.

  • @christinelee91 so then why do chinese refer to anyone non-chinese as "foreigner"; even when abroad?

  • @FFanatic4 i believe the word foreigner has no negative meanings, it's just mean you from another country. don't be so sensitive mate. :P

  • @christinelee91 I'm sorry, but you are wrong. Asians are probably the most racist group among all.

  • @christinelee91 Chinese only look down on Indians because they always bad talk and spread false rumors about Chinese. They shamelessly compare and lie about China, like conquering China and how superior they are ; even though that will never happen and they're not superior, it is still very disgraceful to bark so much yet take no action.

    You should go to England or America and see how crazy some of them gets.

  • @christinelee91 the chinese have been racist..Maybe not you but most are.

  • @christinelee91 Where is the question of Hate India coming from? We always had, and will always have different and unique way of life.

    Btw, i feel really good that Asian countries are doing better. Shanghai is a fantastic achievement!

  • @christinelee91 - i kno3 dey do ... 1 of mah chines3 fREn toLd meh .... lool .... n hoW com3 u talkin abt inDian ???

  • @minborox spread your buttcheeks wider..wider..wider..

    Come and "Flame" me, you stinking queer!!

  • mostafa qabli is a jurk

  • lmfao that was a great one

  • A girl in the class named Shanga lol

  • didnt ment something wrong just wrooooooooong

  • A great photogragher captures life as it is happening.Great work.

  • What a great city--i live near Liverpool, which is twinned with Shanghai

  • I actually know a nice girl from there and certainly I`d love to live there some day.

  • Hehe~~Amazing City in the world..LOve it.... How about Hangzhou?

  • I liked Shanghai better than Beijing.

  • Well, you never been to Hong Kong. ;0)

  • wow...such volatile comments. I've been to London twice...Rio de Janiero...and I'm American so have been to most of our big cities. I was in Shanghai in April and simply loved it. Who gives a shit if it's communist....You'd never know it. I had a great time...and saw more malls than I could count. My only regret is I wasn't there long enough.

  • And those who claim that China is still communist are entirely wrong. They are capitalists since 1980s. We cannot have such a big economic development in a communist system.

  • Comment removed

  • they are different cities. Seoul and Tokyo are more londonesque, whereas Chinese cities, such as Shanghai and Hong Kong, are more NYC.

  • souel? hehehe, no way to stand along with shanghai

  • australia sucks compared to china. i thknk 3/4 cities own whole of australian cities lmao

  • i'm in australia and no cities in here are comparable to shanghai~~ aussie ppl are pathetic...no offence

  • See you in Shanghai next week! Yay!

  • Whats the name of this song or this type of music?

  • Nice feeling on shanghai

  • I like their smiling faces !

  • Yeah only 5 th most scyscrapers in the world and many under construction.

  • u know nothing NINJA

  • HK is China

  • "Shanghai's got hardly any entertainment at all, it has one or two shopping centres... the skyline is nothing compared to Seoul."

    I can say you are definately out of your mind, no normal person would say stuff like that.

  • i said the city is nothing compared to Seoul, HK, or Tokyo. Not skyline. Not just Asian cities are better, but European Cities like London or Paris have 100 times more entertainment than Shanghai- epecialy London

    I lived in Shanghai for 8 months and I am telling you Shanghai is a beautiful city with an amazing skyline but its extremely boring and there is next 2 no entertainment. Just offices, markets, and poor Housing apartments. Amazing skyscrapers- but its whats on the streets what counts.

  • korean is stink

  • the u haven't got out much then, Shang has GOT WAYYYYY more entertainment than almost anywhere else in the world, and definately more than London or Seoul. They can't even compare to Shanghai. Shanghai IS NOT BORING. IT IS EVRYTHING ELSE BUT BORING.

  • lmao sorry shanghai definately is better than seoul. u dont see chinese even comparing to those cities u mentioned do they. they arent insecure especially shangs. i even met shanghainese in australia who are more high class than koreans.

  • where is seoul? i heard korean could not afford a piece of beef in his/her whole life. seoul does not even have a building that is higher than 500m.

  • I know, Seoul sucks, and there's no way in hell can it even compare to Shanghai in any aspect, kinnane4 is an idiot.

  • Comment removed

  • Again, korea is a stink place under nuclear bomb coverage. korea is not that boring cauz you it is easy to hook up with korea bitches to bed. korea only has one "city" that called seoul, which 99% americans do not even know where it is. All I know is korean has no history and was part of china 300 years ago. Now it is part of U.S. 's custody and transfering from chinese culture to christianism.

  • Comment removed

  • sounds like u got cheated by a shanghainese local

    dont worry

    happens all the time... get them back once u r in america

  • please go on wikipeidia and search korea and come back and realize whatever u just wrote just comeplete bullshit

  • ok, I don't even know if you are just a retard, or a loser that stays home all the time. But Shanghai and Soeul??!!!! How the HELL are u even comparing them?! There is not ONE Korean city that is even close to Shanghai. OFFICE BUILDINGS?! THEY HAVE HOTELS, OBSERVATION DECKS, GARDENS, SHOWS, SWIMMING POOLS, GIANT SHOPPING MALLS, AND DISPLAYS INSIDE OF THEM. WHAT ELSE DO U WANT?! A CIRCUS?! IS THAT NOT ENTERTAING ENOUGH FOR U?! And that's only counting a few "office" buildings.

  • Comment removed

  • I HAVE BEEN TO SHANGHAI, AND I CAN TELL U, IT'S THE BEST CITY I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. Shanghai has all that Souel has, except it's 1 million times bigger and better. London and Paris are NOT BUILT FOR TOURISTS?! ARE U KIDDING?! and one shopping mall in Shanghai?! Do u have a right mind?! You would really think a city like Shanghai has only one shopping mall?! Shanghai has got more than thousands of shopping malls, and that's not even counting the ones that are about to get built.

  • Comment removed

  • Have u lived in Souel?! Do u really know what it's like?! Have u lived in Tokyo?! So how do u know what they are really like?! You are telling me that Shanghai has no entertainment?! And that it has "one or two shopping malls"?! I'm sorry, but you really outta be crazy to say stuff like that. Or you don't get out much.

  • OK, CALM DOWN!!!

    "Shanghai has one or two shopping malls" IS NOT AN OPINION. You are stating it as a fact, when it has way more shopping centers. And wtf?! What does Shanghai being communist have to do with anything?! Get a life.

  • OK, CALM DOWN!!!

  • u dont know nothing about shanghai, how can you judge a city for only 8 months stay? dont be stupid any more, dude

  • Hey mate, what video camera did you used to film? excellent quality!

  • In not too long time Asian countries, especially China will dominate the world. We Europeans and Americans fought us too long. So let's hope the Asians won't treat us like we treated them during the colonialism in the 19th and 20th century.

  • Sorry but china won't do so, hopefully not. Just wanna find the mutual respect. And today is no longer the time one dominates another. We are equal. Peace.

  • What software editor did you use to do this? Is it on a Mac?

  • having been there once. it is a nice city truly unforgettable.

    this century is truly for China incontrovertibly, and they should be proud of and deserved for that. I, as being a one of chinese origin who has homegrown outside the mainland can't suppress my feeling to rejoice at the glory of my origin.

  • onelwview ~ I totally agree with you, this is China's time under the sun

    everything is falling in place.. every policy of givt working .. peace and prosperity growing..

    hopefull we Indians will have the same glory to share in near future !!!

  • lol, China's growth is mainly spurred by Western investment into SEZ created by Deng Xiaoping 30 years ago. Once the yuan (RMB) becomes freely interconvertability, it will appreciate like HOG CRAZY.... China's cheap laborforce (aka Chinese factories are the sweatshops of the world) will become costly.... Vietnam, other ASEAN nations will gain a competitive edge and China will have to move to services in order to stay competitive...

  • How informative ))))

  • Well, that's what a Stanford economist said.

    You don't go to Stanford now do you?

  • Economists hahah idiots Shanghai great City listen to Engineers ;)
