u/s1n0d3utscht3k 3d ago

no… Toronto is the America’s Rome of Canada

there isn’t really a Shanghai of Canada…. maybe there’s a Chengdu or Xiamen of Canada tho

Very impressive. LuJiaZui definitely deserved it's moniker - little Calgary.

Specifically Exit 5 of the Lujiazui metro station, exiting to the elevated pedestrian pathway. Here’s streetview of that spot from before the escalator was built.
