WELCOME to the first-ever Couch Crash in mainland China ! ! ! In 1924, Japanese writer Shōfū Muramatsu published Mato (魔都), meaning “the Magic City”—a name inspired by Shanghai’s fascinating mix of East and West, tradition and modernity, glamour and hidden corners. More than a century later, a new story is about to begin: Over the next four days, let’s discover Shanghai’s magic together—exploring its streets, sharing food and stories, and experiencing the city through one another’s eyes. Years from now, we may forget the places we visited, but remember the people beside us and the Shanghai nights we shared. Come as strangers. Leave as part of Shanghai.
