Every now and again we come across a beautiful video of the Mother City, and we usually share it with you guys and girls.

You know – like THIS or THIS or THIS, for example.

Oh, and yesterday’s gem featuring some of Africa’s most iconic landscapes wasn’t too shabby (HERE).

That being said, I don’t think we’ve seen anything like this effort from a chap called JT Singh. Focusing on Shanghai, a city with a population nudging 25 million, it’s something of a roller-coaster ride.

Here’s Gizmodo:

This frenetic video, which runs through Shanghai as if it were teleporting all over the city, gives you a glimpse of what life is like beyond its iconic skyline and tourist attractions by focusing in on the local people of the city.

…the video can get a bit dizzying but it’s a lot of fun to watch because the transitions come out of nowhere. Sometimes you’re going through a keyhole that opens up scenes in an alleyway, while other times it’s a phone’s screen that leads to a picture that leads to being inside a family’s home. Oh, and there’s a really cool sequence involving food too.

Strap in…

So, any Capetonians want to take on the challenge and give something similar a bash?
