SHOW NOTES - episode 036: Show from Shanghai, China.
This week we visit Shanghai China. Sometimes called “Paris of the East” but we wouldn’t call Shanghai “Paris” but rather an eclectic, multi-cultural capitalist metropolis with both modern and traditional Chinese features. Modern Shanghai has three key areas of interest to the visitor: Sightseeing, Business and Shopping centered upon People’s Square and along the Huangpu River.
Shanghai is a shopper’s paradise. One PodAsia musts for tourists is Nanjing Road. Huaihai Road intrigues those with modern and fashionable tastes, while Sichuan North Road meets the demands of ordinary folk. In addition, Xujiahui Shopping Center, Yuyuan Shopping City, Jiali Sleepless City are thriving and popular destinations for those who are seeking to buy something special as a memento of their visit but be careful of being sold any trashy crap!
If you are looking for a different kind of restaurant, PodAsia recommends Xian Qiang Fang (4 th and 5 th floors, 600 JiuJiang Road ShangHai). This is traditional Chinese but in a restaurant that has been tastefully renovated as it would have been in up-market Shanghai in the 1930’s. Great decor with live performances of traditional Chinese Beijing Opera dancing and performing arts while you dine.
Podsafe music played on this track includes: MoShang is a sound jeweller who creates a blend of ambient electronica and audio samples taken from the streets of Taiwan. We hear “and she swung” from MoShang.
And Years of Static “On a Mission”. Both tracks from the PodSafe music network. Also visit music.podshow.com.
