Some visitors may be reluctant to try street food. It's a cultural difference. If you force somebody to try it, maybe it will not be a nice experience for them. But if you have the chance, you should definitely try the street food.
 
Which hotels would you recommend? The Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai and the Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai are more traditional hotels that are nice, and they're close to my house. The Peace Hotel has a long history. It is one of the oldest hotels in Shanghai and is very famous. Every year, I take my friends and family there to its restaurant.

Which attractions do you love? The Bund, for its international architecture. This is a place you must go. Because on the Puxi side of the Huangpu River, you can see the old buildings and you can feel how, in old Shanghai, all these businesses and international banks were coming to the city. On the Pudong side, you can see the new Shanghai, with all the new skyscrapers.
There's also the pedestrian area on the eastern section of Nanjing Road. This is the first shopping street in China. It's the most crowded and hustling bustling street you can see in Shanghai, especially the section that's close to the Bund.

Tell us about your old neighborhood. How has it changed? When I was small, I was living on Kangping Road, which is very close to Hengshan Road. It's near where the International Tennis Center is now, in the French Concession area. The difference between the two roads is that now Hengshan Road is very busy, but Kangping Road, on the contrary, is very quiet. When I was small, there were only two attractions on Hengshan Road: the Hengshan Cinema and, at the end of Hengshan Road, the Xujiahui shopping area. Xujiahui is also a place you should go.
