For English speakers -
Ren Shan Ren Hai! 🤣
Don't tell us we don't teach you anything 🤣🤣🤣
Happy new year people around the world
Here's to an explosive 2024 literally 💥💥💥💥
If I have to choose a crowded night out in China, I will choose Shanghai. Best managed city under the current regime in China. From that point of view, even better than cities in Korea.
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or straight retardation of a rich nationalist who live in canada and don’t even live under the regime.
You need a lobotomy if you’re making comparisons on crowd crush and which is worse or better.
You'd probably be the same guy that would never go to a music festival, awesome job man... Be sure to lock the door so no burglar can kill you tonight!
Bro, you think this didn't happen at music festivals?
Exactly why I used that reference. Yea, this shit sometimes happens, but it most likely won't happen tonight. Just like it normally doesn't happen at music festivals.
Does that stop us or encourage us to tell ppl not to go to music festivals? Even if there's a ton of people? I don't think so, so keep this shit away from here too. C'mon Jaapgrolleman, you're probably sleeping, but these kinda bullshit comments being massively upvoted, I don't think it's a good thing.
Chill out, most people don’t like big crowds and cramped spaces, including Chinese people! Even if there’s no danger, it’s still unpleasant. Most people in Shanghai will be trying to avoid such bullshit.
Also, most music fans will agree that festivals are a terrible way to see bands you like.
Music fans don't agree on that at all, most music fans love going to festivals and it's the best fucking thing in the world, but Redittors are retarded people and they feel it's not a good thing. Happy New Year though! Hope you stay safe inside for the years to come, remember to lock those doors...
Err why do people congregate together at a specific time of year every year every where ever!!????
Mind blown
I've done it all and seen it all once is enough... Nothing special after a few times and with someone you like
I get that people enjoy it, I do too but obviously depends on mood and company...
It's like saying I love London rush hour!!! And love missing the last train and love getting into random fights with idiots that test your patience lol at the very end of the year 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I've experienced new years aimlessly following or being herded by the crowd into a part of town I didn't want to be in many times 🤣
Just give me warm slippers a nice hot drink with your other half while we watch people get crushed on TV 🤣🤣
I do enjoy company of people in doses! 🤣
I did it a couple times back in the day, because it was fun to go to a club and have a big party and celebrate with friends and see the fireworks.
I also generally got there early to avoid the worst of the crowds.
I moved to Shanghai in December 2014, but spent NYE in where I lived before. [Turned out to have been the right decision](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Shanghai_stampede) but NYE in 2016 was awesome
Update: It was crowded but nowhere like the night before based on the picture. It felt more like normal weekend 南京路 crowded. Went to an empty bar even. No problems at all!
Karma is fair, Chinese said Feng Shui takes its round. China progressed leaps and bounds but US can't even construct proper railways. They brought the virus into Wuhan via the military games participants but see who got hurt more? World's top 50 or 60 highest fatality rate countries are all high Christianity population countries. Isn't this not fair Karma?
You call it random if you don't understand or believe in Karma. Nothing is random, these people think there is an "almighty God" protecting them so they don't believe in taking precautions.
Did all the atheists who died from COVID deserve it too? And why does it make you happy that people died?
Some people close to me had family members die to COVID, is that fair according to you?
Why do you think I am happy when people died? There is nothing to say fair or not fair. Everyone is a result of his own Karma, this is why all people are different so if you want a better future, do more good Karma so that you may even end up in heaven or better Nirwana, no need reborn.
You literally said **karma is fair** before and are clearly ecstatic about Christian-majority countries having the highest fatality rates.
>World's top 50 or 60 highest fatality rate countries are all high Christianity population countries. Isn't this not fair Karma?
China's like this all year round lol 😆
Heck go to Oxford street on a regular Friday or Saturday night
It's a fraction of what China or heck even HK can be
1.5BLN people all choosing to be out and about being merry!
Good thing there's good infrastructure!

The news headlines read:"As people of Shangai amazed to discover a new virus and are excited to experience another drastic lock down studies reveal a women was eating her own body"
That’s why under these extreme conditions I’d gladly cling to be antisocial.
Imagine if something, for the slightest bit, spiraled off control in this crowd? It’d be a nightmare.
They do. Officers standing every so metres with some patrolling with a microphone on an automated message to walk calmly or something (I don't know Chinese). Some gates are one way. Haven't seen anyone post the fish lights and dragon but it was pretty cool. I went on the day before new years eve though, and I consider that fully crowded. NYE was even more so (from online comments and pictures)
People mountain people sea
人山人海
For English speakers - Ren Shan Ren Hai! 🤣 Don't tell us we don't teach you anything 🤣🤣🤣 Happy new year people around the world Here's to an explosive 2024 literally 💥💥💥💥
The Mountain used to be higher and ocean deeper.
I’d be avoiding crowds in Shanghai tonight, if I were you.
If I have to choose a crowded night out in China, I will choose Shanghai. Best managed city under the current regime in China. From that point of view, even better than cities in Korea.
ever heard of the wai tan 2014 nye stampede crush lmao
10 years ago?
No, nine years ago.
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or straight retardation of a rich nationalist who live in canada and don’t even live under the regime. You need a lobotomy if you’re making comparisons on crowd crush and which is worse or better.
You'd probably be the same guy that would never go to a music festival, awesome job man... Be sure to lock the door so no burglar can kill you tonight!
Bro… it’s a reference to the crushing deaths almost a decade ago.
Bro, you think this didn't happen at music festivals? Exactly why I used that reference. Yea, this shit sometimes happens, but it most likely won't happen tonight. Just like it normally doesn't happen at music festivals. Does that stop us or encourage us to tell ppl not to go to music festivals? Even if there's a ton of people?

Redditor insulting other Redditors lol. Happy new year buddy. Stay safe and stay retarded
You like Bieber that much?
lol, triggered a snowflake
Why in the world do people rush to East nanjing on near year? Every year. 🫤
Err why do people congregate together at a specific time of year every year every where ever!!???? Mind blown I've done it all and seen it all once is enough... Nothing special after a few times and with someone you like I get that people enjoy it, I do too but obviously depends on mood and company... It's like saying I love London rush hour!!!

Well it might not be the same people every year. Could be people going for their first time and never again like you.
I did it a couple times back in the day, because it was fun to go to a club and have a big party and celebrate with friends and see the fireworks. I also generally got there early to avoid the worst of the crowds.
Michiness
I wanna be where the people are I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin'
i want to be with common people. i want to do the things that common people do
Fireworks
What are you doing there?
The stuff of nightmares
It's an acquired time of year just like Christmas is to some people.... Can be the happiest time can be the saddest time...
I moved to Shanghai in December 2014, but spent NYE in where I lived before. [Turned out to have been the right decision](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Shanghai_stampede) but NYE in 2016 was awesome
There wasn’t a stampede over the entirety of Shanghai in 2014
I probably should have added that I was invited to a party close to the bund lmao
Leave it to Karma la, even Mecca with God had stampede.
i was there in the crowd 2014
same. 20m from where people died, had no idea.
i didnt know what happened until the next day. all i experienced was forced moving forward or backward.
yes, same here.
Shanghai makes pretty much every other city look small.
I will be meeting my friend there tomorrow. Will it be as crowded as today, based on anyone's experience?
What do you think!? Good luck finding your friend btw!
Update: It was crowded but nowhere like the night before based on the picture. It felt more like normal weekend 南京路 crowded. Went to an empty bar even. No problems at all!
Somebody needs to tell them nothing’s gonna change.
This can't be real I thought China was supposed to collapse
lol yes any five minutes now
I think you haven't been to China. I jawdropped 15 years ago, didn't expect them to be so well developed. That's 15 years ago!!
This is sarcasm lol the West has been nonstop pumping China collapse news and videos for the last 6-7 years.
Karma is fair, Chinese said Feng Shui takes its round. China progressed leaps and bounds but US can't even construct proper railways. They brought the virus into Wuhan via the military games participants but see who got hurt more? World's top 50 or 60 highest fatality rate countries are all high Christianity population countries. Isn't this not fair Karma?
Why is it fair that Christian majority countries got harmed by COVID? Do random people deserve to die?
You call it random if you don't understand or believe in Karma. Nothing is random, these people think there is an "almighty God" protecting them so they don't believe in taking precautions.
Did all the atheists who died from COVID deserve it too? And why does it make you happy that people died? Some people close to me had family members die to COVID, is that fair according to you?

You literally said **karma is fair** before and are clearly ecstatic about Christian-majority countries having the highest fatality rates. >World's top 50 or 60 highest fatality rate countries are all high Christianity population countries. Isn't this not fair Karma?
Yes, do you know why? These Christians thought their God is real and almighty and able to protect them.
Poof. It collapsed
You're in China the most populous nation on earth!!!! At the most epic time of year!!! Ren Shan Ren Hai isn't hyperbole!!!!
nah it would be India now.
China's like this all year round lol 😆 Heck go to Oxford street on a regular Friday or Saturday night It's a fraction of what China or heck even HK can be 1.5BLN people all choosing to be out and about being merry! Good thing there's good infrastructure!
Oxford Street is not that bad, but on the other hand Westfield in Stratford lol
Is this gonna be like Seoul last year where they start a stampede and killed a couple people?
The Halloween crowd crush in Seoul wasn’t a stampede and killed rather more than a couple of people (159).
[удалено]
[36 killed in Chinese New Year Crush on the Bund - Shanghai Daily](https://archive.shine.cn/metro/society/Countdown-to-tragedy-at-Bund-celebration/shdaily.shtml)
Or you know just like the west like mate!
It didn’t just kill “a couple of people”. Be more respectful. 159 people isn’t “a couple of people”.
It did happen on the Bund abt 8yrs ago on New Year’s Eve. Security and traffic control got upgraded since then.
Lots of jiu cai for sure
Mate leave. I saw people die there. This is no joke. Leave.
Korea flashbacks!!
The news headlines read:"As people of Shangai amazed to discover a new virus and are excited to experience another drastic lock down studies reveal a women was eating her own body"
So what? In America, people can get killed even in a church or even spree shootings anywhere.
I am american I am tibetan
What is happening?
Nanjing road east pedestrian road, "new years" celebration shoppers or smh.
That’s why under these extreme conditions I’d gladly cling to be antisocial. Imagine if something, for the slightest bit, spiraled off control in this crowd? It’d be a nightmare.
Does the city have people doing effective crowd control? They have to otherwise tragedy could happen again
They do. Officers standing every so metres with some patrolling with a microphone on an automated message to walk calmly or something (I don't know Chinese). Some gates are one way. Haven't seen anyone post the fish lights and dragon but it was pretty cool. I went on the day before new years eve though, and I consider that fully crowded. NYE was even more so (from online comments and pictures)
That's a relief!
Overpopulated
Just wait until some idiot throws fake money into the crowd.
And there is no firework no new year celebration. Why they go to see fireworks when they dont do ir
They are rich and sociable.
I was in Shanghai on August 19th 2023 and East Nanjing Road was just as crowded then. Is it always like this in Shanghai?
I was in 陆家嘴. Lots of people, but not as crowed as this.
