Shanghai’s streets are buzzing once again as the city lifts its final COVID-19 restrictions, and residents are dancing their way back to normalcy! 🎶 \"It feels like a celebration,\" said one local, twirling under neon lights as public squares transform into open-air dance floors.
What’s Changed?
Starting December 5, most public spaces in Shanghai no longer require negative COVID-19 tests except high-risk venues. Restaurants, shopping districts, and pedestrian zones – captured in vibrant footage by CGTN’s Nuonuo – are now packed with laughter and clinking chopsticks. 🥢 The iconic Nanjing Road? Think \"pre-pandemic energy meets TikTok-ready vibes.\"
Why It Matters
This shift reflects China’s national push to balance public health with economic recovery. Analysts say the revival of Shanghai – Asia’s financial heartbeat – signals hope for businesses and travelers alike. ✈️ Pro tip for explorers: add Xintiandi to your must-visit list for fusion food and moonlit tango sessions!
