Features: "Walking Shanghai" is the "flagship product" of the Shanghai Daily's Platinum Book Series. "Shanghai Daily" is a weekly diary read by a group of young people, unadorned but clear and straightforward. In Shanghai alone, at least 1 million young people are its fans. This book reexamines the cultural landscape of Shanghai, sparking a new aesthetic distance. Among them, Shanghai's romance and charm—such as the male route, Eileen Chang's route, etc.—may be unknown even to true Shanghai natives. For new immigrants and passersby, understanding the light "cultural consumptionism" and the memories of train stations offers a relaxed entry point into Shanghai culture.
