Shanghainese get out to see their own town
Print Edition
More than 390 Shanghainese took the city鈥檚 hop-on and hop-off bus yesterday to visit iconic attractions despite the rain.
In 10 groups, they visited Xintiandi, Yuyuan Garden Mall, the Bund and the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Mall.
These places were filled with out-of-town tourists and foreign travelers before the novel coronavirus outbreak. The majority of visitors are now locals.
The tours have been organized by Shanghai Spring Tour to let locals experience the splendor of their city with the arrival of spring.
Many of the group members followed tour guides to listen to the stories behind Shanghai鈥檚 history, landscape and architecture.
鈥淪hanghai鈥檚 spring is so beautiful with pink cherry blossoms and white magnolia,鈥 said photographer Cao Jubo. 鈥淥n the Bund, we can appreciate both the modern skyscrapers in the Pudong New Area and the Western-style architecture in Puxi, which pose a beautiful picturesque landscape.鈥
鈥淚 like capturing the city鈥檚 changes via the lens, and it is a special spring and a special tour,鈥 he said.
鈥淪itting on the upper deck of the sightseeing bus provides a different angle to view the Bund and the Huangpu River, and the tranquil landscape with people wearing masks is a memorable scene.鈥
Wang Hua, a visitor, said he is addicted to travel and has been to many countries. But he said he had never been so close to his city.
鈥淚t seems as if over a decade had passed since the last time I took a stroll at City God Temple and the Bund,鈥 he said. 鈥淭hese attractions are so close to me but I never paid attention to them.鈥
