In early 2022, Shanghai went into lockdown. Residents were told it would last for a few days; in the end, it lasted almost 3 months. It would have an unmistakable impact on the people of the city.

After more than a year and China's reopening, it's noticeable that things have changed. I myself had lived in Shanghai for years before the pandemic, but was locked out of the country when China closed it's borders in 2020. It was a strange feeling to return to what I had left behind.

Join me on this walk around China's biggest megacity, a city I had lived in and loved. Let me try and give you a glimpse of what it was like, through my eyes.
