If you're still in Chongqing, I recommend Le Shan 乐山 city, where you can see a giant stone Buddha sculpture carved from inside the mountains. Then you can move on to Emei Mountains 峨眉山, there is great scenery over there. And then you can go to 九寨沟 Jiu Zhai Gou natural reserves where you can see waters with various colors and cascades, etc.
If you want to go to Harbin, you should go during the Chinese New Year. The weather is still cold and you can experience the ice and snow world of Harbin. If go later, the weather will be hot and it will not be suitable. So it is recommended to go to Harbin > Xi'an > Beijing > Li jiang(Yunnam) > Qingdao.
I must clarify here that Chongqing is built among mountains, so there is fog all year round, which is not haze. Please do not equate the two. Chongqing has a title called "Heavenly Kingdom on Earth" because it was very difficult to reach this place in ancient times. The mountains were a barrier that made it difficult for people to enter, and due to the year-round fog, there was a feeling of being in heaven. In Chinese mythology, heaven is shrouded in mist.
That is not mist sir. Mist sits low to the ground and you can see no mist on the streets. It’s all high up in the buildings because it’s not mist, it’s pollution.
1:01:07 她们在后面聊天，说昨天有韩国人旅游在她们这里没付钱就跑了。所以她们今天碰见来旅游的外国人，就先让你们付钱了，她们害怕再次被逃单。They were chatting in the back, saying that a Korean tourist ran away without paying here yesterday. So when they meet foreigners visiting today, they ask you to pay first. They are afraid of being evaded again.
As a Chongqing native, you are very welcome to travel to my hometown. If you plans to come to Chongqing can contact me. I will show you the best scenery, feel the most distinctive culture and eat the best food 😊
I can't believe you guys made me smile the whole day, even when I remember this video I just smile, I have to say this is already my best channel for the year, and China 🇨🇳 is the best country, lots of places to explore, lots of food, lots of cultures, it's almost unreal, and this is not what the media shows us, I'm actually coming to China for my vacation this year, so excited
I just returned from Chongqing about a week ago. My sister and I were blown away by the beautiful sceneries, mountains, cultures, night life and amazing structures there.
1:01:47 The lady complaining yesterday a korean tourist didn't pay the meal was hilarious 😂 I suppose thats why they asked you pay before having the meal 😅
If you want to travel all over the country, maybe it will cost you for years. As a Chinese, I think I have been only less than 10% of the mainly travel cities. China is so big, it will cost a lot of money as well.
The one that looks like a carrot is pork intestine wrapped with green onions. This combination is simply perfect. Ivana looks Chinese, so everyone is trying to speak Chinese to her, and the way she is at a loss is so cute. U guys are the happiest travel bloggers I have ever seen.
impressive :) Chongqing looks a lot different than I expected, beautiful and impressive.You are very brave.you did it.China is one of the safest countries in the world.Over here you will see friendly people, who want to take pictures with you, superb infrastructure, very conveniences to go around from city to city.All of my western friends who made visits to China came back with extremely high praises on China.
1:01:07 They were chatting in the back, saying that a Korean tourist ran away without paying here yesterday. So when they meet foreigners visiting today, they ask you to pay first. They are afraid of being evaded again.
This video is absolutely amazing! I am planning my first trip to China and there are so many places to go. Videos like this make me so very excited to go. Thank you for sharing your experiences
1:01:47 The shopkeeper's aunt said: Yesterday, a Korean customer left without paying. (Foreigners who are not very accustomed to using QR codes for payment may not be successful. Therefore, the shop owner needs to let you pay first so that she can rest assured.)😁
If you are interested in history, you can find the Diaoyu City Fortress in the east of Chongqing that changed the course of world history. In August 1259, Mengge, the 4th gen Great Khan of Mongol was killed there, which led to the cessation of the Mongolian attacks on Europe, West Asia and Africa.
That temple and the statues/ sculptures were stunning to see. I'm fascinated by the construction quality. Stunning how clean it all looks. That cave was awesome
Dude What happened to YOUR videos? 😂😂 and again ChongQing local here, should you need any help (planning or guiding or picking restaurants) let me know.
Absolutely Guangzhou, epic Chinese New Year experience! Flower market, the Pearl River night tour, warm temperature and delicious street food. A sincere suggestion.
Just back from Chongqing for my 3 weeks trip in China (beijing, harbin, zhengzhou, chongqing, fenghuang, furong, zhangjiajie) Beautiful trip, indeed. All places are worderful, clean and super safe.
@@JetLagWarriors zhangjiajie is a must, you can stay in zhangjiajie and go to fenghuang by hi speed train and can back to zhangjiajie at night by hi speed train also, same with furong, they are near zhangjiajie. Gate of heaven easy to reach by sky train, front of hampton by hilton hotel. Explore the avatar mountain in zhangjiajie took 1 day, you can go there by Didi and return by Didi too. My favorite city in China : Xi'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng (it has a colosal outdoor perform at Qingming park). From Xian, you can teavel by train to Xining if you want to get lost in China but it is fun, you can not lost in china, actually 😀 I am a chinese Indonesia, same with Ivana, but I can speak a little mandarin, I saw Ivana like many china indonesians in here that can not understand mandarin (i am a solo traveller in china) From zhangjiajie, you can go to Guilin, Yangshou then Kunming, Lijiang, Dali. It needs months to explore china. About your alipay, when you have trouble, try to use their wifi network for your alipay phone, it can work faster.
15:37，the right side is my small ChongQing noodles and Coffee shop!I was very happy to see it on video。If you are still in Chongqing, it is my pleasure to invite you to visit!
Welcome to China! The whole of China is divided into ten different regional cultures, and each province has different cuisines and human characteristics and landscapes. Chongqing, where you are now, is part of the Sichuan Basin culture, and the cuisine of Chongqing and Sichuan is one of the most popular in China. Watching your video you chose an iconic landmark that everyone goes to, but choosing to eat there is not a good choice, most of the food in popular places is usually for tourists, expensive and generally close to average in flavor. Get away from the bustle of the city and go to the areas where the everyday people live to get a better sense of the local customs.
FYI, the coating stuff with the scallion is the pig intestine, which I don't think you‘d be willing to try. Second, the uncle outside the noodle shop is actually making noodles from sweet potato flour, however both you just ordered the normal noodles made from wheat flour. So maybe next time you can try the dish called sour and spicy noodle(suan la fen，酸辣粉), which is exactly the famous Chongqing style sweet potato noodle dish.
Great adventurers! Now I know Chongqing will be in plans for our next visit later this year. We also would love to do a short River cruise. Loving your trip so far. Cheers from Australia.
I’ve seen many videos about travel in Chongqing, this is the first time I see this temple!😮 The ticket included the burn incense, the guy at the entrance told you to take the incense for free.
Hey guys, when you go to Chongqing I highly recommend the photogenic Huguang Guild Hall. It’s a large and perfectly preserved example of traditional Chinese architecture, the best in town. Check their hours. They don’t open every day. If you have time you can get out of the city and visit the Diaoyu Fortress near the town of Hechuan. This fortress city withstood over 30 years of Mongol attack. This was where Mongke Khan was killed in action.
I have been to Beijing, Shanghai, Shuzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi, Luoyang, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chengdu plus JiuZhaiGou Valley, Qingdao. Heard a lot about Chongqing. One of the more interesting city that I want to visit, besides Xian and Harbin.
Guys thanks for showing it from a traveler perspective ❤..there are a lot vlogs in China but most amazing, beside yours, are the ones with their huge development in the cities!
The fact that you can't understand the language at all makes it hard to watch at times. But your personalities actually make it enjoyable adventure! Good job.
Beginner players often head to Beijing and Shanghai, but western China is a whole different level-featuring more regionally distinctive food and a more complex, fascinating culture. Nice trip!
You guys make me smile and laugh all the time! Love the idea “going with the flow”, full of frustration, surprising, but also so much fun!!! But still, didn’t see you guys eat the most famous Chongqing food yet, please searching it online, you are in one of the most famous food city in China, you have to try! Keeping going, enjoying your trip in China, so looking forward to seeing your next video. Thank you!!! 🥰👍✌️
i am just half way through the vlog, at the toilet/cave scene. this is the reason why i suggested chong qing when you asked which city you should go next. it is just "different" from beijing and shenzhen and shanghai. for me, beijing and shenzhen are just another big city, similar to shanghai, in vibe and structure. but chong qing would be different because i learnt from the net that in chongqing, one's ground floor might be someone else's 10th floor.. now, that is special. 😁 nevertheless, every city is different in its own way, just visit as many as possible. it would be an amazing experience and good for your channel. 🥰
It is very glad to see your video in Chong Qing. And I wanna translate it when the elder sell the red berry which the price is 25 yuan for 1Jin (Jin is a measuring unit in China which is equal to 500g) So when he used the traditional Chinese scales and the weights was 2.6Jins at the first time so the price was 2.6 times 25= 65yuan and the second time the scales showed the weights was 1.6Jins which price was 1.6 times 25=40yuan. So there was no overpay. btw most of cities in China are using the measuring unit.🤣
In fact, Chongqing has long been known as the "Fog City," so it often experiences foggy weather.This weather phenomenon is attributed to the complex terrain of Chongqing, characterized by undulating hills and mountains, coupled with higher humidity. Consequently, it has developed into a climatic feature where fog is quite common.
36:45 that's Mian-jin, Wheat Gluten, Chinese vegan meat. Black bean curd next to it is Shanghai style Stinky Tofu. 39:25 Rock Sugar Snow Pear Soup with Red dates, good for clearing out lungs, throat, and sinuses. 42:53 ingredients are: Blueberry, strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, cranberry, cassia seed. Made by slow lukewarm-baking, seals in all flavors. 47:47 is large pig intestine over Chinese leek, usually fire grilled with a bit of crispiness on the outside, inside is a mix of pork fat & leek juice. 1:06:45 is called Grilled Cold Noodle, just a piece of uncut noodle with customized toppings then pan fried and wrapped.
@@ardanurrianda6144 It's Y25 rmb per pound, expensive as fresh fruits, but these are hand made Sweet Pickled Peaches. But converted to USD it's barely $3.50/lb. In the US pickled fruits are very expensive, pickled peaches cost about $10/lb. So not really overpaid per se, just language barrier that led to miscommunications.
There’s an interesting historical site that maybe worth exploring: 60 miles out of Chongqing is the world heritage site of Dazu Rock Carvings dating from the 7th to the 13th century. Beishan (North Mountain) contains two groups of rock carvings and sculptures along a cliff face stretching for 300 meters. These date from the 9th to the 12th century and portray Tantric Buddhist and Taoist themes. (Wikipedia)
When you go to Harbin, it is better to purchase the VIP ticket for ice show in advance. Otherwise, you may have to queue for hours due to the high demand.
@@JetLagWarriors hi Matt, my friend bought the VIP tickets from WeChat on Harbin ice festival site,. He also said the CTRIP may also offer VIP tickets. But it is in high demands. The VIP ticket cost is 700yuan each. Good luck!
@@xinzhihe778 l have been to China twice ( Fujian and North East China ) but many years ago. Yeah, definitely agree that there's tremendous changes and my siblings and l planned to go to Guangdong to search for our cousins and relatives there. My late father was from "Taisan county", Guangdong province. And my late father in law was from Fujian. Thanks ✌️🫰
The drink is rock sugar pear juice, which has the effect of clearing away heat and moisturizing the lungs. However, it requires regular drinking to produce subtle effects. If you only drink it occasionally, it can only be regarded as an ordinary drink. In addition, rock sugar pear juice can be hot in winter and iced in summer.
If you have a frequent cough, it means that there is something wrong with your lung function. It is recommended to use pear as a daily fruit and pear juice as a drink.@@YenNguyen-yu5dc
Hi! Glad I came across your travel videos. Chongqing is one of the destination I have plans to visit. Your video really helps me to have an idea of this amazing place! TQ
The coffee shop assistant recommend you to register as a member to get better prices. If you insist on paying cash, you can buy Luckin Coffee, which may be slightly more expensive than the membership price. There is a law in China that stipulates that stores cannot refuse cash.
In addition to these big cities, there are many small cities in southern China that have very retro and beautiful scenery, which are popular destinations for European and American tourists, such as Lijiang,Yangshuo etc.
I couldn't stop watching this video when I started watching it last night 😊, continue for the entire video. I like your attitude as travelers, both of you embrace anything any scenarios came to you or happened at that point of time. That's should be the way that making oversea tour adventure and long lasting memories. Awaiting for next video. You are right, Chongqing is a second tier city , things there might not the same scale as Shanghai but with full of local characteristics and people humble and friendly there. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
Steve, you should try to meet up with Alex from Reportify Media. He's a fellow Canadian will probably give you more tips of ChongQing. He lives and work in ChongQing
Don't know if you guys travel a lot or not, but it's very handy to use Google Translate when you're communicating with local people in a country where you don't speak their language, it's more respectful than just keep speaking English without making any other effort. Been to ~70 countries, can't stress enough on the language issue.
39:58 it's called Pear with rock sugar. It's a popular drink for cough relief. What looked liked olives in the drink are sliced Chinese Hawthorn Fruit. Good for your lung
Thank you guys, u show us a true face of China- safe, clean, manageble even very crowded. As a Canadian from hk, I never visit Chongqing. Because of fault news from media, Chongqing is terrible city. This video showed me how beautiful this city is- I'll put this city as my next travel destination. Good job guys!
During the Spring Festival, many people in the city will return to their hometowns and the countryside for the Spring Festival, so it will not be particularly crowded! If you want to see a lot of fireworks, I suggest you go to the county or town and recommend you to find a local netizen to take you back to your hometown for the Spring Festival. It will be a different feeling! Haha. After 12 o'clock in the New Year, every family will set off fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate the New Year, which will last for a long time! Big cities may not feel it, because big cities will ban fireworks and firecrackers!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🇨🇳
@@JetLagWarriorsdon’t visit beijing during spring festival, most of the place need reservation, and the city will be empty because amount of people will back to their hometown .
Love it thanks for sharing this awesome trip! I've never been to Chongqing always wanted to try the authentic hotpot. btw you guys should totally find a local guide haha, many locals only speak Sichuanese dialect too
Welcom to my hometown Chongqing❤ ,the mountainous city!I have been living there for so long time since i was born.the local is full of hospitality and kindness,what’s more its special scenery due to the geographical location makes the mountainous place more fantastic,as like a fairy land 😊.We Chinese call it 5D city on the internet 😂
Where should we go during Chinese New Year?? 🧧🏮
Xi’An, Beijing, out of China (because it will be too crowded or empty), or other places?
I’m living Xi’an and I recommend you come to Xi’an during Chinese New Year because there's a lot of atmosphere here
If you're still in Chongqing, I recommend Le Shan 乐山 city, where you can see a giant stone Buddha sculpture carved from inside the mountains. Then you can move on to Emei Mountains 峨眉山, there is great scenery over there. And then you can go to 九寨沟 Jiu Zhai Gou natural reserves where you can see waters with various colors and cascades, etc.

There are two big rivers (top 10 rivers in CN) across the city, so why there are a lot foggy days during winter and sprint
湿度高，冷暖空气山上山下对流起雾了呗。和北方不同，北方干燥从蒙古往南吹的风会带起尘土

The golden reddish fruit at 23:00 is a very common tourist trap seen all over China. It's actually just plum, but dyed into this alluring color.
My gosh, 144 hours is certainly not enough to explore China. Each place has so much that surprise us.
If you want to travel all over the country, maybe it will cost you for years. As a Chinese, I think I have been only less than 10% of the mainly travel cities. China is so big, it will cost a lot of money as well.

I have been to Beijing, Shanghai, Shuzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi, Luoyang, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chengdu plus JiuZhaiGou Valley, Qingdao. Heard a lot about Chongqing. One of the more interesting city that I want to visit, besides Xian and Harbin.
Highly recommend Yunnan Province for your next trip .
Guys thanks for showing it from a traveler perspective ❤..there are a lot vlogs in China but most amazing, beside yours, are the ones with their huge development in the cities!
the vibe is back, so exciting. just to wish you two enjoy Chongqing, and be impressed
Hello from Malaysia 🇲🇾! ❤ nice vlog! Enjoyed watching it!
i'll be visiting chongqing for the first time this summer and am so excited
Summer will be hot.
Amazing beauty , so enchanting...thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤
Welcome to china
Welcome friends from all over the world to travel to China and witness the true China with their own eyes
I didn’t expect you to post an hour long video
You didn’t expect me to watch it twice in a row
it's 1 hour long?? WTF, I didn't realize it. I just watched.
The fact that you can't understand the language at all makes it hard to watch at times. But your personalities actually make it enjoyable adventure! Good job.
23:30 In China, 500g = one Chinese catty ( 一斤，yi jin ), 1kg = two Chinese catties ( 两斤，liang jin ), 50g = one Chinese ounce ( 一两，yi liang ) .
yay you really went to chongqing. amazing view.
Beginner players often head to Beijing and Shanghai, but western China is a whole different level-featuring more regionally distinctive food and a more complex, fascinating culture. Nice trip!
Since you guys are going to stay in chongqing for 6 days, I highly recommend Dazu rock carvings, which is a UNESCO site on the outskirts of chongqing.
Steve and Ivana, nice to be walking with you along Chongqing city street and makan places!
You guys make me smile and laugh all the time!
Love the idea “going with the flow”, full of frustration, surprising, but also so much fun!!! But still, didn’t see you guys eat the most famous Chongqing food yet, please searching it online, you are in one of the most famous food city in China, you have to try! Keeping going, enjoying your trip in China, so looking forward to seeing your next video. Thank you!!! 🥰👍✌️
I just loved this video!!! What an amazing place!!! 😍
welcome shenzhen
Wow!You were passing by my ChongQing noodle shop in the Miracle Street.Thank you for introducing Chongqing to friends around the world！
祝兄弟生意新隆👍
i am just half way through the vlog, at the toilet/cave scene.
this is the reason why i suggested chong qing when you asked which city you should go next. it is just "different" from beijing and shenzhen and shanghai. for me, beijing and shenzhen are just another big city, similar to shanghai, in vibe and structure. but chong qing would be different because i learnt from the net that in chongqing, one's ground floor might be someone else's 10th floor.. now, that is special. 😁
nevertheless, every city is different in its own way, just visit as many as possible. it would be an amazing experience and good for your channel. 🥰
这三个城市真的完全不同😅…如果你觉得他们相似那可能只是体验了比较浅的部分，也就是现代商业的部分
@@VVJ-f3d 明白。☺
这样说吧，如果有位我比较熟悉的中国朋友问我：我打算去马来西亚，第一次。槟城、马六甲和怡保，你会推荐哪个？
在一个时间只能去一个地方和有签证限制的大前提下，我会推荐我认为他会喜欢的地方。
当然，如果时间充足、经济允许又没有其他的限制的话，全部都去看看一次是最好的。所以我的回复里最后那里有个“但书”：每个城市都有它的不同。
p/s : 这对youtuber夫妇，我从2020年就开始关注了，所以对他们的喜好有一定的认识。而且，他们那次是拿166小时的签证，我也只能这样建议了。☺
It is very glad to see your video in Chong Qing. And I wanna translate it when the elder sell the red berry which the price is 25 yuan for 1Jin (Jin is a measuring unit in China which is equal to 500g) So when he used the traditional Chinese scales and the weights was 2.6Jins at the first time so the price was 2.6 times 25= 65yuan and the second time the scales showed the weights was 1.6Jins which price was 1.6 times 25=40yuan. So there was no overpay. btw most of cities in China are using the measuring unit.🤣
btw the English word for 斤 (jin) is 'catty'.

@@zackk7175you are so brainwashed.
I was always wanna to plan a trip to Chongqing sometimes just to feel the cyberpunk vibe. Hope there won't be too much fog at night
In fact, Chongqing has long been known as the "Fog City," so it often experiences foggy weather.This weather phenomenon is attributed to the complex terrain of Chongqing, characterized by undulating hills and mountains, coupled with higher humidity. Consequently, it has developed into a climatic feature where fog is quite common.

@@zackk7175If you are in prison, don't play with your mobile phone.
@@zackk7175what you mean？ are you a China hater？
36:45 that's Mian-jin, Wheat Gluten, Chinese vegan meat. Black bean curd next to it is Shanghai style Stinky Tofu.
39:25 Rock Sugar Snow Pear Soup with Red dates, good for clearing out lungs, throat, and sinuses.
42:53 ingredients are: Blueberry, strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, cranberry, cassia seed. Made by slow lukewarm-baking, seals in all flavors.
47:47 is large pig intestine over Chinese leek, usually fire grilled with a bit of crispiness on the outside, inside is a mix of pork fat & leek juice.
1:06:45 is called Grilled Cold Noodle, just a piece of uncut noodle with customized toppings then pan fried and wrapped.
太棒了👏
这时候发现英语课不应该去爬树
25:37 is it overpay?
@@ardanurrianda6144 It's Y25 rmb per pound, expensive as fresh fruits, but these are hand made Sweet Pickled Peaches. But converted to USD it's barely $3.50/lb. In the US pickled fruits are very expensive, pickled peaches cost about $10/lb. So not really overpaid per se, just language barrier that led to miscommunications.
@@KrazeDiamond oh I see, thanks for the answer 😊
There’s an interesting historical site that maybe worth exploring: 60 miles out of Chongqing is the world heritage site of Dazu Rock Carvings dating from the 7th to the 13th century. Beishan (North Mountain) contains two groups of rock carvings and sculptures along a cliff face stretching for 300 meters. These date from the 9th to the 12th century and portray Tantric Buddhist and Taoist themes. (Wikipedia)
🥰sonice to have someone recommending places to visit in my hometown.
When you go to Harbin, it is better to purchase the VIP ticket for ice show in advance. Otherwise, you may have to queue for hours due to the high demand.
Hi! Thanks for the tips. Can we purchase this VIP ticket online? Can you give us the website? Thank you very much!

@@xinzhihe778 l have been to China twice ( Fujian and North East China ) but many years ago. Yeah, definitely agree that there's tremendous changes and my siblings and l planned to go to Guangdong to search for our cousins and relatives there. My late father was from "Taisan county", Guangdong province. And my late father in law was from Fujian. Thanks ✌️🫰
@@zackk7175 good to hear it from someone who spends most of their time home reading news on twitter

"giant carrots" 😂 i laughed so hard. the caption on the photo at @47:43 says green onion encased in pig's intestines
The drink is rock sugar pear juice, which has the effect of clearing away heat and moisturizing the lungs. However, it requires regular drinking to produce subtle effects. If you only drink it occasionally, it can only be regarded as an ordinary drink. In addition, rock sugar pear juice can be hot in winter and iced in summer.
If I have bad cough. How long should I drink this pear juice to get the good results? Thanks
If you have a frequent cough, it means that there is something wrong with your lung function. It is recommended to use pear as a daily fruit and pear juice as a drink.@@YenNguyen-yu5dc
oh man I'm a local there and hearing you chatting with the fruit seller in English and the local dialect seamlessly just made my day lmaoo
You are very welcome to my country! I like your videos very much! I admire your good attitude.❤Have a good time.❤
Hi! Glad I came across your travel videos. Chongqing is one of the destination I have plans to visit. Your video really helps me to have an idea of this amazing place! TQ
I would sit back have few beers, foods and enjoy the views 😋😋😍😍
The coffee shop assistant recommend you to register as a member to get better prices. If you insist on paying cash, you can buy Luckin Coffee, which may be slightly more expensive than the membership price. There is a law in China that stipulates that stores cannot refuse cash.
In theory, but some places don't accept it still.

In addition to these big cities, there are many small cities in southern China that have very retro and beautiful scenery, which are popular destinations for European and American tourists, such as Lijiang,Yangshuo etc.
That's true
What an experience!! What an awesome video!! 10 + stars!! Keep safe, healthy and happy.
I couldn't stop watching this video when I started watching it last night 😊, continue for the entire video.
I like your attitude as travelers, both of you embrace anything any scenarios came to you or happened at that point of time. That's should be the way that making oversea tour adventure and long lasting memories.
Awaiting for next video.
You are right, Chongqing is a second tier city , things there might not the same scale as Shanghai but with full of local characteristics and people humble and friendly there.
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
16:04 I visited this temple too. The architecture of buildings/houses in the temple is amazing!
Steve, you should try to meet up with Alex from Reportify Media. He's a fellow Canadian will probably give you more tips of ChongQing. He lives and work in ChongQing
Don't know if you guys travel a lot or not, but it's very handy to use Google Translate when you're communicating with local people in a country where you don't speak their language, it's more respectful than just keep speaking English without making any other effort. Been to ~70 countries, can't stress enough on the language issue.
YESSSS, I hate when they dont use any translating app
Chongqing Noodles are absolutely amazing.
39:58 it's called Pear with rock sugar. It's a popular drink for cough relief. What looked liked olives in the drink are sliced Chinese Hawthorn Fruit. Good for your lung
Thank you guys, u show us a true face of China- safe, clean, manageble even very crowded. As a Canadian from hk, I never visit Chongqing. Because of fault news from media, Chongqing is terrible city. This video showed me how beautiful this city is- I'll put this city as my next travel destination. Good job guys!
关于中国的报道，千万别信西方媒体，亲自看看才明白
Don't you think you need a translation app for easier communication, less confusion and less misunderstanding?
During the Spring Festival, many people in the city will return to their hometowns and the countryside for the Spring Festival, so it will not be particularly crowded! If you want to see a lot of fireworks, I suggest you go to the county or town and recommend you to find a local netizen to take you back to your hometown for the Spring Festival. It will be a different feeling! Haha. After 12 o'clock in the New Year, every family will set off fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate the New Year, which will last for a long time! Big cities may not feel it, because big cities will ban fireworks and firecrackers!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🇨🇳
Very happy to see everybody have a good trip in Chonqing ,wellcome back again.
You two rock. I enjoyed traveling with [through] you. Thank you for the journey and look forward to the next adventure!
Absolutely fantastic video, I hope to vlog like you one day bro! Keep living the best life 🇨🇳🥂🍻

Jiegang Bei! My favorite part of Chongqing! I am jealous! Great video!

I once lived in Chongqing for a year. Seeing your videos brought back many memories Chongqing has not changed but it is cleaner. Very good vedio😂
Looool 26:50😂 When I traveled to Chongqing a year before, one of the guides I saw on xhs is… never try that colorful weird fruit sold on the streets 😂
Fantastic and vivid city, great video 👍
