One Room, 21 days (Quarantine in China)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- Recently, #Guangzhou updated its Quarantine rules for the Canton Fair, extending quarantine periods from 14 days + 7 days home isolation to 21 days in hotel quarantine. The rules came into effect just a couple of days before I left Australia to return to China.
In this video, I'll talk about what it feels like to know that you need to spend 21 days in one room, how I pass the time, and give some tips for other people who might need to quarantine in China, or other parts of the world.

Thanks for watching! Remember, be respectful of one another in the comments section! Have you been through quarantine in China or other parts of the world? I'd love to hear your tips/experiences!
I just re-watched Lockdown Productivity: Spaceship You. I seems that you have already implemented GCP Gray's recommendations.
You have such a gentle mind.
You are getting a bit round than last time you left Guangzhou. But lovely.
After 14 days of isolation, I gained 3 pounds and Steam accompanied me every day
Hi, How much did you pay per day?
You know something, Hazza. You have just created a guide to "how to be happy and feel good to a 21 days hotel quarantine" Not many people know how to "survive" the 3 weeks all alone in a room" Thanks for making this video. I like your suggestion and ideas - Appreciated
You are more than welcome! I hope this video can help people out there who might need to go through quarantine in the future!
Crispy sounds like the sort of guy who would enjoy being chained to a radiator.
Appreciate your positive attitude towards the 3-week quarantine time in China.
You have different things to do and enjoy doing them. And you have time to have more rest, enough sleep, enough exercises...
Good experience!
Thanks for sharing!
All the best!
祝你健康快乐!
谢谢您，也祝您健康快乐！
Welcome back to China!!! You are making a personal decision and contribution to be a bridge between Australia and China, which is much needed for the time beings.
Hey Johnny, thank you! Positive feedback is always so welcome - you just put a massive smile on my face!
In 21 days, you can write a book titled "Chinese dumpling taste good with Australian wine "
Looking forward to writing that book!
Some of us are so very glad you shared this Hazza. My 86 year old mother watched this with me and enjoyed it. Thank you 🙏
Welcome back to China! Your room looks awesome. Love the convenience store. I had something similar and made me feel like I had a little kitchen.
Yeah - it was good to see your video before I came back so I had some idea of what to expect! Thanks for watching, mate
Wow, you seem managing extremely well during the 21 days in hotel quarantine! 👍💕💕💕
All the best! 💙💜💖❤️️🧡💛💚
Thank you so much 😊
You are looking good! Thank you for sharing your experience. I can't wait to start travelling again. Having a positive attitude also helps. Looks like a great room.
Yeah, it is a great room! Thank you for the compliment! Travelling in 2021 certainly hasn't been easy, so I am definitely looking forward to normal travel resuming as well.
Time flies. It felt like you arrived Australia just a few days ago. Now you are already back in Guangzhou.
If I have to be stuck in a room for 21 days, I will write one or two articles on subjects that require a lot of research.
And you have to remember that your video is reaching a lot of people all over the world, so you are not in isolation at all.
You are in fact connected to a hugh number of people all the time.
Hi Hazza, just wanted to say that I have exactly the same massage gun, same colour too. What a coincidence. Hahaha
Take care, stay cool and looking forward to your future videos. A cheerful video always makes the day better. Cheers
Wow, small world! Thank you! Glad I could make your day just a little bit better
lovely room!!!
Yeah, I am super happy with it!
LOL.
So nice to see you back to China from your home holiday🌹❤️👍
It’s good to be back!
Nice Quarantine room hazza👍
Yeah, I am feeling very lucky!!
Life first. People first. Collective freedom. Common freedom. Inclusive freedom. The Chinese way.
That’s right! I like this philosophy
I have to give it to you and others that can endure 21-28 quarantine days. It's insane!
It isn't actually that difficult if you go into it with the right attitude!
I'm sure you'll apply the "If life gives me lemons, make lemonade" principle. 🍋 💡 The gravitational pull towards China is strong, lol!
You got it!
@@Hazza_Harding You are back in China 👍How was Australia.Contrast is far apart.
@@Hazza_Harding What is your perception on the Geopolitics in conflict article regarding Australia. Is it even true.

@@smun3217 Australia was good - it was awesome to catch up with the family, and see all of my friends
Such an organized person! I like the idea of separating zones. You make the quarantine experience become enjoyable and comfortable.
Take care and it's good that you are well prepared for such an uncomfortable situation. May God be with you wherever you are.
Thank you mate, I appreciate it!
Hi Hazza, thanks so much for sharing your quarantine experiences!!!! You are amazing, organised, positive, innovative and disciplined 👍👍👍 👏👏👏 Although I have not been in any hotel quarantine, I will copy your ideas with the hotel room when I go overseas next 😉 We look forward to watching more of your hotel quarantine vlogs 加油!!! 🤩
You’re more than welcome, so glad that you enjoyed it! When do you think your next trip overseas might be?
Thanks for asking Hazza! My next trip to Europe would likely be 2023. Hopefully the covid would be history by then...fingers x
This is a very big room and will be more comfortable for quarantine for long time cause spacious
Lockdown can help prepare for the quarantine experience, at least to some extent. We humans are adaptable creatures anyway.
. 'He is able who thinks he is able'
Exactly - I think it really depends on the attitude you go into quarantine with. I just tried to focus on the positives, and forget about the negatives, because quarantine isn't permanent!
That’s a really nice room! All the best for the quarantine!
Still awaiting for your video on leaving Australian from Brisbane airport all the way to Guangzhou airport. How many and what steps you went through, was the plane full, etc. Cheers mate !
Coming soon!
@@Hazza_Harding Millions dollars production.
@@jxmai7687 thank you
I’m looking forward to seeing your trip from BNE to CAN. I will be flying from MEL.
I'll upload it very soon!
Welcome back
Thank you!
Oh, my God, you're isolated again. It feels like it's only been a few months since your last quarantine. Now you’re back to China. Hope you can make more videos about China, we don't want to know China only from the lens of the media. hope you everything goes well.
I will definitely make more videos about China - looking forward to leaving quarantine!
It's nice to see you back home...
It is good to be back in Guangzhou, that's for sure!
Excellent vlog! I just came out of quarantine in GZ. We were placed out in rural Conghua. Your room is way nicer than mine was. At least six things were broken. At least the view was nice. Good attitude that you’ve got towards this time. I too enjoyed the 21 days despite some dodgy food.
Initially I thought it was unlikely that you came back during the Canton Fair. But you are lucky to have such a nice room! Each coin has two sides. Hope you make the most of your quarantine time! :)
I will, thank you!! I’ve become so used to being in quarantine now that I’m not sure how I’m going to react when I get out!
Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!! Same city! Take care!
Thanks mate!
Last time I watched your video was that you were preparing for your travel from China back to Australia, now you are quarantine in China, time flies so fast😂
Yeah, time goes by so fast!
@@Hazza_Harding I am so jealous, I am in Gold Coast now and want back to China, but I can’t🥺
@@leeli4491 hopefully you’ll be able to come back ASAP! Enjoy the beach when the weather gets a bit warmer!
@@Hazza_Harding Thanks, let’s see next time who will be the first one back to the home country🤣
I looked up on the special quarantine policy for the Canton Fair. It was activated on September 25th, effective up to October 20th. If you have left Brisbane on September 27th, arrived Guangzhou on September 28th, then the 21 days will ends on October 19th.
So if you have booked your ticket to travel 8 days later, you would only need 14 days of hotel quarantine, followed by 7 days of household isolation.
Pikachu socks! ❤You are so well organized. Hope you will be out in no time. 💪
Thank you! 😊 I hope so too!
Well done Harry. Like you, I doubt that I would personally have any issues with the isolation and timeframe, but of all the tests, that nose one is the most invasive, eye watering that even I have experienced. Can I ask you, what vaccines have you had, Australian TGA approved, or Chinese vaccines? With Australian recognition of Sinovac now and two other Chinese on the list for approval, coming to Australia from Nov xx on will only be self isolate at home for seven days. Finally a step in the right direction. Maybe to little far to late! What are the accepted vaccines in China, do you know? My wife (Chinese national} on PR visa here, has Pfizer Biotech vaccine, while I have Oxfords Astrazeneca. Both are rated at 96% and 92% respectively in effecacy. With our international travel Bubble opening in November for all full vaccinated persons, we are hoping to return sometime in December for three months. So, any information you have regarding the position of over there would be great.
Cheers mate, Jeff
Hi Jeff, I was vaccinated while I was in Australia with a TGA approved vaccine. I submitted my vaccine certificate when I applied for a green health code to travel back to China, but so far the information has not appeared on my WeChat health code. Hopefully it will, or they will set up a system whereby you can manually upload the information, as I am sure a lot of people coming to China from Australia right now would have been vaccinated in Australia. If I know more, or have any further updates, I will definitely let you know!
@@Hazza_Harding Thanks Harry, I'll be watching all of your output on this experience and any other news you may have regarding changes that might occur. Hoping all goes well and you are reunited with your normal life, friends, and workmates soon. No, I didn't forget Meiling, she must be missing you too :) That will be a pair of happy young pups reunited ;)
@@spartan19jb7 I can’t wait to see her again!!!
Welcome back 👍🏼
Thank you!!
Hazza, you managed things so well. it's definitely a good guide for people who will be in quarantine. I felt stuffy when you talked about the Sydney hotel - my mom came to Syd in Apr and got her 2 weeks stay without a balcony but seems she enjoyed the food instead. yes if i go back China for the 3 weeks, i would order food delivery 3 meals every single day, then jog on the treadmill 20km per day to make sure more calories consumed lol. But not sure when I could realise this crazy idea...lucky you.
i love my quarantine time. LOVE IT!!! my only complain is that it wasn't for 21 days. so much time for myself. so refreshing.
and it is very misleading about the quarantine time...one would think one gets 21 days, but in actual fact, there isn't much time.
Yeah, time really does go by fast. And how often do you get 21 days where you can just be by yourself, take care of your own needs, and do a little bit of soul-searching?
@@Hazza_Harding right!! right! you know that! mein gott! it's almost like meditating on the mountain top for enlightenment...but in this case, in a 3star hotel room.
@@112313 yeah- I don’t know how many stars this hotel has, but if it is just 3 stars, then this room really is pretty good for a 3-star hotel!
HI Hazza. You're back in China. Nice hotel room.
Yep, I'm back!
Hazza, good luck and do enjoy your stay in China.
Stay safe and healthy!
well. come, mate, glad to. see you back
Thank you!
You are an organize person👍. If it was me, I reckon sleep & eat the whole weeks.
Yeah, I am trying my best to stick to my routine - don't want to waste the precious time!
That’s some quality content that we love
21 days is brutal. That's the length of an entire vacation trip lol
The time has been going by really fast - I'll explain why in the video!
it's the best quarantine hotel ever I've seen, you're super lucky
Yeah, I was definitely super lucky!!
I stayed in quarantine for 21 days too, enjoyed it and didn't wanna go out at the end looool
You and I both!!!
the food actually does not look terrible, the treadmill is huge
When you say "a lot of my viewers haven't subscribe yet" I press the subs button immediately.. sorry Hazza, from now on I'll be a good viewer... 😆
Thank you so much!!
Welcome back to China!
Thanks, mate!
Hi Hazza, didn't know you return to China so soon. Anyway. Stay safe and all the best.
Thanks mate, appreciate it!
welcome back and enjoy the real freedom after 3 weeks.
Thank you, I definitely will!
LMAO, my siri got triggered and told me the weather in Mandarin.😂
Welcome back! Wow you packed a LOT of things with you. Very organised!
BTW, looking forward to your collab with Andy and Amy!
Oh no! Yeah, my Siri also got triggered while I was editing this video! haha
Welcome back!
Thanks mate!
Fantastic tips. The partition into certain activity zones is a brilliant idea Hazza. Other handy tips treadmill, tennis ball, glen20 👍, massage guns lolll Also a very positive mental attitude goes a long way. Hang in there mate. You’d be out soon. 🍻
Thanks mate - appreciate the positive feedback!!
very tough but worth it
Great info on pandemic travel.
Glad it was helpful!
You should do live cast chats with fans or other vloggers when you feel lonely.
Good thinking, 99!
I hope survive quarantine.
I will, don't worry about that!
Thanks for the tips. It's very useful
its great to see you in China :) Take care
歡迎回來🌹🌹😊😊
谢谢您
Staying in the same place for 21 days is a challenge. Hopefully you’re able to explore Guangzhou now.
I'm still in quarantine - still 11 days to go!
Welcome back, stay healthy.
Thank you, I will!
Didn't know u are back in China. Thought u were going to stay in Oz for a much longer time. Hope u breeze thru the 21 days and continue your adventures in China.
I honestly can't wait to get back out there and get back to everyday life! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@Hazza_Harding Maybe one of these days, u might consider writing a book on how to survive a 21 day quarantine. :)
@@philipshim4768 yeah, that might be a good idea actually!
Wow yr quarantine hotel was so damn great compared to my hotel, it’s a five star hotel
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂can’t stop laughing as I saw the pikapika🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, can't live without a little bit of Pikachu around me!
you are also glowing!!! to be honest, i'd be bored to hell if I cant have the treadmills or game console.. great investment on both!
Yeah, I reckon I made some good purchases there!!
回来了！ bounce between two worlds. 我在sydney,我已经两年没回国了
希望你很快就有机会回来呀
omg, now it's 21 days... i don't even have that long vacation, it's a little bit too strict, 14days was already enough
The 21-day rule is just temporary, because of the Canton Fair in Guangzhou, soon it will revert back to 14+7
Time flies, it feels just days since watching your Australian quarantine. Loved your positive mindset, 21 days and not a word of complaints against the quarantine-rule maker. Meanwhile, here in the USA we are still debating over mask & vaccine mandates, and whether Fauci should be tried for treason. LOL.
it is a very good room, lucky you
Yeah, I was super lucky!
Welcome back Guangzhou
Thank you so much!
You kept the room really tidy👍
welcome back to china
Thank you!!
Nice video mate!
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow! I’ve heard so many China quarantine horror stories and this is nothing like that! You make me wanna be in quarantine right now… I guess you’ve got a lot of good karma Hazza!!
WOW you are so organised. You have really impressed me. And that treadmill!! WOW and air purifier, how did you think about all these things?
I thought those who have a home are allowed 14+7 days quarantine ie 14 days in hotel and 7 days at home? The mural and lights are nice. Gives it a more homely and artistic feel in the room.
Right now, in Guangzhou, people need to do 21 days in hotel quarantine - can't do the last 7 days at home
Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome!
Hi Hazza, happy to see you back yo China again! Wishing you the very best, healthy and continue to enjoy your stay / life in China! 🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍 Btw, what brand and model of your treadmill machine? How heavy is this machine!
Wow, you really got a nice room and you are a very organized person. If have two questions, if you don’t mind. Do you save the Pokémon socks for special occasions and, where is your dog?
My dog is in a pet motel - I can't wait to see her soon! Also, yes! I do save the Pikachu socks for special occasions as they were given to my by someone special
Here's a suggestion to try: with 21 days in a room, why not learn to meditate and report on the experience? Give the brain a chance to quiet down. The English monk Ajahn Brahm in Perth has many short "guided meditation" tutorials on RUclips. The American journalist Dan Harris who just retired from ABC News has written a book several years ago about his experience, titled "10% Happier." Interesting read.
Well, if it can make me 10% happier, then I will definitely give it a try - thanks for the tip!
How did you order the air purifier? What app did you use.and where did you get the treadmill? Ok Jingdong. Read some previous comments.
looking good mate!
21天真不算什么 😉 我在国外已经隔离一年半了！前面几个月除了一个礼拜倒一次垃圾就没出过门。当然在自己家里隔离比在酒店舒服。祝你在我以前生活工作过的城市生活愉快！
OMG!!!!! You are back to China???? I remember you said you would spend loooooong time in Australia, have a break!
Yeah, I am back in China! I did spend a significant amount of time back home, but now it is time to get back to Guangdong and get back to work!
This is a really good facility! I’ve seen some people stay in much poorer ones. I’m pretty sure it costs different. Haha.
回来了啊，21天也不会无聊，因为有互联网
是啊，如果没有网络的话，真的不知道会有多无聊 哈哈
@@Hazza_Harding 那只能看书，带一箱书（小说）
@@alessiii58 对啊 ～ 有网络真好
I wouldn't mind the 21 days so much, but that 'every 2 days' deep nasal testing regime is brutal. Quite a contrast to flying Canada to Europe where one just needs a cheap and non-invasive rapid antigen test and no quarantine. Return requires one PCR test (ugh) and no quarantine for fully vaccinated persons.
Wow - that seems so much more relaxed than here. China is serious about maintaining zero-COVID for the time being
Wow Xioami track. Malaysia don't have.
Really? They even have them in Australia now
Soft bed😂, I love it. the bed and mattress is so hard back in china, do not get used to anymore when I go back😅
Yeah - when I first came into the room, the thing I checked first was how soft the bed was!
@@Hazza_Harding yes, I am like you. I complain a lot to my family why their bed are hard and they laughed at me🤣. sorry I have to say 你穿白色家居服看起来好白啊，更白了，亚洲人超喜欢的肤色😁。
Are you on a tourist visa? if you do, don't you have to renew it every month? I'm also trying to go to China I was thinking of a student visa to study the language for a year meanwhile finding what business I can do there, however, China is still not open for foreign students yet.
Hey mate - no, I am not on a tourist visa. I have a work visa (residence permit)
@@Hazza_Harding Oh I see, is it hard to get? any site or video you can recommend me to learn on how to get one as well? Thanks for the reply mate, really appreciate it.
@@SuhandiWijaya hi there - you need to find an employer, and usually the employer will sort out a work visa for you
@@Hazza_Harding I see. That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation, appreciated!
Thanks for sharing your story Hazza, Im heading back this December, Never thought of bring ps5 back but it seems pretty neat, the treadmill seems to be a good idea too, Looking forward to the homecoming trip, I'm lucky that Sydney hasnt have much cases not until recently, how long does it take to get your treadmill delivered ?
Thanks for the video! Just a question, did you order delivery ceo the Xiaomi Treadmill? Or did you bring it from Australia? I really want to get one as well.
I brought it from Australia (actually I got it in Guangzhou and took it to Australia for quarantine in Sydney, then brought it back for quarantine in GZ!)
Hi, Hazza, I am glad you are back in China safe and sound. BTW, how's your lovely dog? This video is very timely and informative. While I'm waiting for your upcoming video on this trip, may I ask a few questions on quarantine? 1. How to book a hotel like yours and how much is it? 2. How to pay for things for people who do not have WeChat pay yet? Do I need a local bank account to register for WeChat pay, or how? 3. As my destination is in Beijing, do I need to complete all 21 days here in Guangzhou where I will land first? Thank you for sharing this video, and I like those tips! Cheers, Sophie
Hi Sophie - So glad to hear that my video was helpful! To answer your question about hotels, currently it is totally random. What happens is you join a line after customs/immigration, and around 20 people at a time get sent onto buses. They don't tell you which hotel you are going to. When I arrived at the hotel, they gave me 2 options for a hotel room (also 2 options in another part of the hotel which were a bit cheaper, I think they were more like studio apartments, so they weren't hotel-standard). They offered standard rooms for 480/night and deluxe rooms for 640/night, and I chose the 640/night room. If you want to order things to your room via an app, you do need to have alipay or WeChat pay depending on the app you use. I don't use Alipay all that often, I usually use WeChat pay. I have both a Chinese bank card and an Australian credit card linked to my WeChat account, so you can try to set that up before you come. Also, Meiling is in a pet hotel... I can't wait to see her again!!
@@Hazza_Harding Thanks, Hazza, it's very helpful! It's all worth it as your hotel looks spacious and comfortable to stay in for 21 days. It must be really difficult to have to leave Meiling behind. Do you get to facetime with her regularly? She must be desperate to be able to lick her dad again. Or, maybe, she's already forgotten about who her dad is?! :-) Thank you once again, Sophie
@@sophiebao6241 yes, the pet hotel sends me videos of her every day! I am really having a little bit of separation anxiety - so looking forward to seeing her again!
Sorry, its not about you only. Everyone went through this process. It's for safety of everyone.
Live with it.
Hahaha thanks for your entertaining comment 🤣
I noticed you were watching netflix. May I ask what VPN you use?
Order a refrigerator like Reporterfy. See what happens. I suspect ichongqing pulled strings for him...
I don't think I'll need one to be honest - I can put up with not having cold drinks for a while, it isn't the end of the world
How did you travel with your playstation?! did you bring it as a carry on or a checked bag? Also a treadmill?!
Yeah, I brought the PS5 in my carry-on luggage, and I bubble-wrapped the treadmill
Did you have to get the Chinese vaccine specifically before entering China?
