Honestly, I had seen plenty of photos of Shanghai City Flexible in Your Way. Being there was quieter and more absorbing than I expected, and I stopped checking my phone for a while.

We had enough information to understand Shanghai, but it never turned into a classroom. The balance felt natural. With 4 hours to work with, the balance felt sensible.

A practical note: the busiest place on the route was genuinely busy. Starting earlier would be my only change. My only advice is not to shorten the time at Shanghai City Flexible in Your Way.
