After one of the warmest Chinese New Years on record, Shanghai is facing a cold front. It’s cold and wet. But that hasn’t deterred thousands of tourists and local residents from being outside and enjoying what the city has to offer.
Shanghai experienced the big chill on Monday with temperatures dropping by 8 degrees Celsius over the weekend, to a low of 5 degrees and a high of 9. But the Bund, one of the city’s landmarks, was still packed with tourists.
"I come from the northeastern part of China and so I feel the weather in Shanghai is very warm. And the rain makes this trip more romantic." a tourist said.
"The weather affected us. I may cancel my plan to climb the Oriental Pearl tower and do something else." a tourist said.
The famous Pedestrian Street on Nanjing Road also saw huge crowds. Shops are busy doing brisk business with people queuing to buy special food and gifts for the Chinese New Year.
"The cold weather won’t stop me from visiting friends or going out. As long as I dress well and keep warm." a local resident said.
Temperatures will fall further, with the low early Tuesday and Wednesday set to be around 3 to 4 degrees Celsius.
Shanghai just experienced one of the warmest Chinese New Year this year. Although the temperature dropped dramatically today,the weather won’t stop people from having fun in the holiday.
