14 million in 2000, now they said it should be more like 24 million (as of 2014).
Let me see, in 2016 guide, Paris has 10 3-stars restaurants, 14 2-stars restaurants and 67 1-star restaurants, and Paris has a population of 2.2 million (10 million including the satellites cities near Paris). It doesn’t seem Shanghai has a lot of stars to me. Maybe I should have compared to another Asian city, i.e. Tokyo for a more fair comparison.
What is amazing to me is how Michelin has the resources to test so many restaurants in Shanghai!!
