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 aimlessly wandering through the bustling streets, not stopping for anyone, lost in the carefree and pleasant freedom. In the streets and alleys of Shanghai, there are many charming shops that are like dreams, poetry, and paintings. These quaint shops are either filled with exotic charm, purely ethnic style, or uniquely original. They are like a misty painting deep in the concrete jungle, a touch of gentle tenderness, a fleeting dream, elegantly and vividly interpreting the city's famous inclusiveness and diversity. The owners of these quaint shops are either foreigners, people from other places, or locals. But they do the same thing—unconsciously choose Shanghai for various reasons and finally fulfill their dream of running their own beloved business in this city.
