Chinese Cities: Shanghai Impressions (English-Chinese Edition) – A Notebook for Reading, Writing & Wandering

Part cultural guide, part blank notebook — read about Shanghai’s old neighborhoods, famous figures and haipai character, then write your own impressions on the pages beside it
This is not a travel guide that tells you where to go, and it is not a blank notebook with nothing in it. It sits in between: one part of each spread gives you a short, readable piece about Shanghai—its old neighborhoods, the people who shaped it, the haipai style that makes it different from any other Chinese city—and the pages beside it are left for you. You can write down what you see, paste in a ticket stub, or just draw a line that reminds you of a street you walked. The text is in Chinese and English, so you can read it in either language, or use one to help with the other. If you want a book that lets you both learn about Shanghai and make it yours—rather than a checklist of attractions or a plain, text-heavy city history—this is it.

A City That Tells Its Story Through You

Shanghai isn‘t just a skyline of glass towers; it’s a maze of memories, flavors, and contradictions. This bilingual journal (Chinese-English) invites you to slow down and collect your own Shanghai story.

Unlike a standard guidebook, “Shanghai Impressions” is designed as a personal hand-bound diary. Curated by veteran media figure Daya, it weaves together five distinct lenses to help you decode the city‘s character -1-3:

  • Nostalgia (怀旧): Walk the historic arcades of Nanjing Road and the quiet charm of Sichuan North Road.

  • Heritage (访古): Reflect at the Yu Garden, Longhua Temple, and the water towns of Zhujiajiao.

  • Legends (名人): Trace the footsteps of Lu Xun and Sun Yat-sen in the former French Concession.

  • Style (海派): Savor the romance of Sinan Road and the golden era of the Paramount.

  • Modern Pulse (文艺): Capture the energy of Lujiazui, the creativity of Xintiandi, and even the magic of Disney -1-5.

Why This Book Belongs on Your Shelf (or in Your Bag):

  • Bilingual Format: Perfect for language learners or international travelers — read the English, try the Chinese.

  • Interactive Design: Built as a “hand account” (手账). Use the beautifully typeset pages to jot down your own memories, sketch, or paste ticket stubs.

  • Premium Keepsake: A sturdy hardcover with 192 pages of rich content, making it a thoughtful gift for anyone fascinated by Chinese urban culture
