About this episode

The city that I want to talk about is formally named shanghai, where is the center of economics and finance. It is a super big city with large population, more than 20 million I could say. It is in the Southern part of my country, millions of ordinary people prefer to work or study in such a wonderful city. You know, many kinds of good job opportunities and famous universities could be found as well. There are actually loads of good points of this city, like its public transportation or the things that I have mentioned above. For my part, the most important or attractive point has got to do something with its climate. You know, I grew up in the Northern part of China, apparently, the winter time seems disastrous for me. The temperature is usually below zero, I hate it. In the meantime, because of the cold weather, you couldn't find any sorts of green trees and grassland either. In shanghai, the climate is right for me. This is why I consider shanghai as a beautiful city for me. That is it.
