  • Scenes from the street life in Beijing taken during our stay in China from February to April in 2016. Living in China for a couple of month is quite a challenge and more as the usual tourist attractions or the things you find in a travel guide . The daily rush hour, exotic streetfood, the old hutong houses, temples and most of all the people of Beijing made our time there an unforgettable experience. This is a real world look at what to expect visiting Beijing or China.

    The streets and public places are so clean. Knowing how big the population is, I am impressed with the city that has done a great job in making sure the city is clean (and safe).

    Excellent video, really caught the atmosphere of Beijing. My wife and I were there for a week early June 2018. Liked the clip of the vendor shouting out on Wangfujing Food Street at 10.35 - we sat and had a couple of beers opposite him one evening. Entertaining to watch and got phone video clip of him myself. Was the clip at 12.00 taken in the Wanfujing area as well?

      @explorerteabreak  7 лет назад +2

      Hi Shiro, There are some small parks in Beijing to practice sports outdoors, like all Chinese people do. The best place for jogging might be the Olympic Forest Park. Hope we could help and feel free to write if you have any more questions. Wish you a great time in Beijing and have fun.

    streets?

    • @explorerteabreak
      @explorerteabreak  5 лет назад

      Dear Matteo, We been to New York a couple of times and it's one of the most amazing cities in the world. But because New York is a harbor city it has not to deal with the same problems as Beijing. The pollution in Beijing, and that's the only thing we all constantly see on the news, is also caused by its location in a valley surrounded by mountains. It would not be fair to compare both cities. But I also think that China will come up with some interesting environmental solutions in the future.

    • @matteodesimio9450
      @matteodesimio9450 5 лет назад

      Dear 8weltenbummeler, as you said is unfair compare N.Y. with Beijing, first: the number of cars in Beijing is the same number of the population of N.Y. Secondly, the video luke alike intentional to denigrate the city of Beijing. If you watch the RUclips video named "Inside America's homeless epidemic" Oct.18/ 2018 you will see when a video is intentional. They do not just show N.Y. problem, also others large cities in the USA. I don't take sides, I like to analyze well the subjective for taking my conclusions. By the way, I know both cities it is not a possible comparison between the two cities.

      East 43 Street actually means the third Alley from Eastern Four Archway. About 60+ years ago, there were Western Four Archway and Eastern Four Archway in Beijing(Peking). Both of them were in the crowded market places. There were 2 other Single Archway on the famous Chang-An Blvd. I still remember those archways as they had standed tall there ever since Qing Dynasty. Really appreciate your comment.
