Features: I, a native Shanghai woman, love this city because I can swim like a fish in the surging and noisy sea of people, letting the colorful scenery flow into every crack of my senses like water. I enjoy wandering aimlessly on the bustling streets, not stopping for anyone, indulging in the carefree comfort of solitude. In the streets and alleys of Shanghai, there are many charming shops that are like dreams, poems, and paintings. Some of these quaint shops are filled with exotic vibes, some are purely ethnic in style, and some are uniquely original. They are like a misty painting deep in the concrete jungle, a touch of gentle emotion, a fleeting dream, elegantly and vividly interpreting the city's famous inclusiveness and diversity. The owners of these quaint shops are foreigners, people from other places, and locals. But what they do in common is that they all chose Shanghai for various reasons and finally fulfilled their dream of running their own beloved businesses in this city.
