Mark Zuckerberg, founder of social network Facebook, was spotted on the streets in Shanghai with his ethic Chinese girlfriend Priscilla Chan in the afternoon of March 27, after Apple’s Tim Cook was reported to have paid his first visit to China a couple of days ago.

This was in fact the second time that Mark Zuckerberg hit China, but allegedly for vacation this time. He has traveled to China before once, but he was there to meet China’s top Internet companies such as Baidu, Sina and Alibaba.

It was unclear whether Zuckerberg will have business meetings this time, but many Chinese netizens hope so as they are expecting to see Facebook, which is being blocked by China’s Great Firewall, entering China.

Mark Zuckerberg, wearing a casual sweater and jeans as usual, has visited several shopping districts with his girlfriend, including the famous renovated residential area Tianzifang, and Apple Store at the Nanjing Road.

It was also said that some passers-by recognized Zuckerberg, and attempted to get close to him to have photos or to strike up a conversation, but they were blocked away by six of his body guards.

Zuckerberg stayed in the Apple Store at the Nanjing Road for 10 minutes, which has been confirmed by Apple too, and even bought a Smart Cover there.

Reportedly, Chan and Zuckerberg met while standing on line for the bathroom at a Harvard party in 2004, and then Chan followed Zuckerberg out to Silicon Valley when Facebook took off and the couple has been together ever since.

The 27-year-old billionaire, who ranked 35th in the recent Forbes list with a net worth of $ 17.5 billion, impressed Chinese netizens a lot this time, for their low-key appearance in Shanghai just like a pair of normal university students having their vacation.
