Shanghai residents flocked to the city’s landmark, the Bund, to celebrate the upcoming easing of COVID restrictions at 0 a.m. on early Wednesday morning, which was recently announced by the municipal government. After midnight, North-South Elevated Road and Yan’an Elevated Road, the two main arteries in central Shanghai, soon became packed with traffic, as the roads were filled with people eager to appreciate Shanghai’s night-time beauty or go home.
