Standing on the top floor of Magnolia Plaza, the Internet influencers had a panoramic view of both sides of the Huangpu River. "It's beautiful! It's the first time I've seen Shanghai from this angle. From where I'm standing, I can't even see where the city ends," said Alessandro Martini, a video blogger from Italy.

After a visit to Pathe Villa, the recording site of the "March of the Volunteers", the national anthem of the People's Republic of China, video blogger Stollery Saul Jerone from the UK praised the Shanghai style shown by the villa. "There's a great sense of history here. These records give me a real sense of what China was like several decades ago and how the people back then used songs to record history."
