A recent visit to Shanghai unveiled a surprising transformation; the city's historically gray skies were replaced with bright blue hues. In the typically bustling former French Concession district, a serene atmosphere prevailed with the presence of quiet electric vehicles. Domestic tourism was thriving, evidenced by clean sidewalks along Huaihai Road, traditionally crowded with international visitors. This change prompted a nostalgic reflection, revealing a newfound appreciation for Shanghai's beauty, which had previously been overshadowed by pollution and noise.
On a recent visit to Shanghai, I looked up through the canopy of trees in the former French Concession district, and realized the sky was not the customary gray but a bright blue.
After a lifetime of loving Shanghai in spite of its pollution, noise and mess, I felt like I had taken off my rose-colored glasses only to discover that the city had turned pink.
