The video is an approximately 50-minute travel vlog by the channel COOKSExplore, documenting in detail a 3-day exploration of Shanghai (China) by a group of friends from the UK. This is a combined sightseeing and rest trip before they officially board the Royal Caribbean Spectrum of the Seas cruise ship bound for South Korea and Japan.

The video provides a realistic and comprehensive look at traveling in Shanghai, including:

Practical experience: How to enter the country with a tourist visa, pay via the Alipay app, and navigate the subway system (Metro) on their own.

Highlight destinations: Taking an evening cruise on the Huangpu River, enjoying a panoramic view of the city from the observation deck of the Shanghai Tower (with the world's fastest elevator), strolling along the Bund, visiting the 400-year-old Yuyuan Garden, exploring Jing'an Temple, and taking a sunset Gondola ride in the "Venice of Shanghai" - Zhujiajiao Ancient Town.

Cuisine: Enjoying Michelin-rated pan-fried bao buns, diverse local meals in the ancient town, and craft beer.
