A group of college students from Japan visited Shanghai from Sept 1 to 5. They went to the Shanghai Tower, Lu Xun Park, Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center, and other landmarks to experience the charm of the metropolis.

While many in the group study Chinese and have connections to Shanghai through media, the trip offered a fresh perspective as they were able to see and experience the city in person. As Aoyama Yuki, one of the students, remarked, the visit offered him a richer understanding and deeper connection with Shanghai.
