Wow, I really enjoy this video of yours. But, some jealous hateful people out there will call you shill or paid by bad evil "CCP"!! One of them is an AmeriKKKan living in China with the YT channel named Chopstick and train whatever ... He even blocks my posts to call him out!! Shame on him!!!
As a Beijinger who has lived in Sydney for over 20 years, I really love your videos showcasing my hometown to the world! I hope you continue to bring more excellent videos about China. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!
@@mikeandashleydear Mike and Ashley , for foreigners with foreign passport , you are able to buy tickets to forbidden city in the ticket office directly , without the need to book in advance , I have experienced that in October, with a Australian passport , no issues
@@xyshiauThe friendliness of the Chinese towards foreigners is everywhere, and Chinese need to book in advance, while foreigners don't. Foreigners have privileges in China.中国人对外国人的友好无处不在，中国人需要提前预定，而外国人不需要。外国人在中国有特权。Welcome friends from all over the world to visit China.
I really hope you guys do a China series in the future ! You are right, you're barely scratching the surface, China's got so much to offer in terms of food and landscapes and etc at different seasons.... It's amazing. And your videography and editing, bgm ! Top notch ! You guys have such lovely vibes ,energy
We will be adding more locations to our China series! We can’t wait. We will be hitting Chengdu next and can’t wait for Sichuan food! Do you have any more recommendations?!
@@mikeandashley Then you must go to see the Shu embroidery in Chengdu, a very exquisite traditional culture, one of the four famous embroidery styles in China. Let me tell you in secret that few foreign tourists know about it. There are two places to visit, one is the Shu Embroidery Park. If you are lucky, you can see the technicians weaving and embroidering in progress
The best Great Wall of China travel video I've watched lately -- your heart-warming joyful smiles against the backdrop of photographic sceneries of the ancient Great of China, winding along the endless ridges and peaks on the weather-perfect sunshine day, blessed with the serendipitous little purr-fect Paul...
The scene is so beautiful and the weather is perfect with the sun and the sky, and then the cat came to celebrate with you guys, indeed a perfect day.🎉
I don't usually comment, but you two have such an amazing energy and optimism towards your travels. It's been a long time since i've been able to go back to China myself, so right now I'm living vicariously through your videos (I can still remember the taste of those meat skewers like it was yesterday!). If you liked the views at the top of the Great Wall, I gotta insist that you guys check out Zhangjiajie, the avatar mountains are on another level! (Other places on my personal bucket list are: Guilin for their noodles and the river cruise, Furong Ancient Town, Leshan for the giant buddha, and Chongqing!
Thank you so much! Your comment means a lot to us. And we appreciate the recommendations! We’re returning to China a week from today and are so excited! We’ll add these places to our list. 🥰❤️
Notice how the cat came all the way to be close to you? That shows how friendly most Chinese are towards cats! That's why the cat isn't afraid of strangers.
Very glad to see you both Americans came to visit China and understand the real China not many Americans know of! You were fortunate that there weren't many people on the Great Wall which was very rare! Wishing you both happy and pleasant tour of China.
Although Beijing is very crowded, it gives people a feeling of tranquility, kindness, and calmness, and even a bit of the glorious atmosphere of the empire.
I can see the Two of you going back to Beijing. The Forbidden City is a must-see attraction but you need a day to walk and see the entire complex. Looking forward to seeing your videos. You have a way of making your videos fun. Thank you.
thanks for your sweety couple show us the beautiful autumn Beijing. I spent two awful and unforgottable years in the city, I love autumn most.thanks the sweet lady warmful smile and nice words. love you two.
Freezing in cold winter wind, I suddenly realise you were wearing autumn outfits... So the vids were filmed previously.... But indeed late autumn is a proper season to explore northern citys especially beijing
Yea! All of our videos are typically a bit behind as it takes some time to edit them. We were there in late October and it was glorious! 10/10 recommend. 👌
Beautiful weather, beautiful people, beautiful season, beautiful mountain, beautiful place Beautiful tour experience in Beijing ❤ ❤ Thank you for sharing with us. ❤
You are truly a happy couple. In your videos, the people, scenery, music, and narration all reflect the love, understanding, support, and companionship you share with each other. The smiles of the people around you are the best wishes for a beautiful life. With hearts full of acceptance and gratitude, enjoy your journey in my homeland. I wish you all the best and hope you continue to love each other like this forever.

i was born and raised in Beijing, now i’m living in new york. every single time i’m homesick i watch your videos. i always watch them with the biggest smile and this one almost brought me to tears. It’s not a coincidence your trip was amazing, but because you both have incredible energy that can cheer up the whole world. thank you for doing research on the city and sharing your experience. can’t wait for more videos and the next time you revisit China. absolutely adore you!❤
Oh, wow. Thank you so much! Your comment is one of the nicest we have ever receieved. 🥹 We're happy to bring you a little bit of Beijing in New York and hope you can visit again soon. Your hometown is amazing. ❤️
You said it best at 29:05... 🕊😃. I watch many videos of tourists visiting China and every person who posts their video brings their unique charm. Enjoy your time in China. cheers, from Canada
Love the vibe of your videos, it's like I can feel your joy. If you do return, please check out more cities like Xi'an, Chongqing, Chengdu, Harbin, and much much more. They all have so much to see and do, you will love it. Happy travels!
Thank you so much! 🥰 We will be visiting almost all of the places you’ve mentioned! We are hoping to be able to visit Harbin, but we need to sort out the logistics before we commit! Do you have any recommendations of things to see or do in these places? We’d love to hear them! Thanks for watching! ✨
I've checked RUclips several times these days to see if your channel's updated. Now here it comes! Hope you have a great time in Beijing, the city where i've lived for five years~
Thank you so much! We try to put our videos out every Sunday, but as they keep getting longer, we’re having difficulty keeping up with a weekly schedule. We hope you enjoy the video! Beijing is an incredible city. 🥰❤️
Welcome to Beijing, China this week in great joy and peace in December of 2024 lovely couple to tours many beautiful places on the streets in joy 2024❤❤❤
Is one of the best decisions I have made, to just click on this video before sleep. Ashley, I cried when you teared up and Mike happy birthday. So happy with watching this video,make me feel like is my birthday as well. For the next time you guys visiting Beijing, hopefully I could send my warm welcome 😊
Wow, you really chose a perfect day !!! I was thinking that everything that was in your video was just awesome, the scenery , the people , the weather, the snacks and then it suddenly hit me - it was not just only that, what was truly amazing is you guys !!! One can really feel you soaking in this very unique experience and you managed to personify it !! You both are really incredible !! I am definitely going with you on your journey. So sorry Ashley, your mum cannot make it - your teary eyes really touched me.
China do offer alot of different expereiences, from big cities to small villages, from lush greens to hot deserts, from lands to oceans, etc. It would feel like you are visiting different countries, but it's all in one place actually. China, is a huge country.
Thanks for visiting my home country 🙏 and thanks for the sharing 👍 I can feel that you were touched by the beautiful works - the great wall made by hundreds of thousands of people long time ago. I had visited both the east end and west end of the great wall. The west end of the great wall - Jiayu Pass is also amazing.
There are different sections opened to public. The Ba Da Ling section is the most crowded. It is closer to Beijing and transportation is more convenient. You can even go there by subway. They've restored more sections in recent years and Mu Tian Yu is one of them. It is more distant and less well known for now. It is definitely a better choice.
visiting China and see many young people wearing traditional Chinese clothing, such as hanfu, in historic sites or ancient buildings, I highly recommend giving it a try! Wearing hanfu allows you to immerse yourself in the culture and appreciate the beauty of traditional Chinese fashion. You can even rent hanfu at many scenic spots or shops nearby, and it's a great way to take unique photos and create unforgettable memories during your trip❤❤
I love your videos; they are not only showing us the sights and sounds you are experiencing, but also, they are a glimpse into your hearts. You two are so genuine, which is why I love your videos so much. I am sure you are back in SEA, but I do hope you get to come back.
Thanks you so much for your new remarkable video today’s heads Beijing, China 🇨🇳 to shows those remarkable places on the streets in great joy & peace December of 2024❤❤❤
Candied haws are a traditional Chinese snack that originated in the Southern Song Dynasty. They are made by stringing wild fruits on bamboo sticks and dipping them in maltose syrup, which hardens quickly when exposed to wind. A common snack in the north in winter, they are usually made of hawthorns, which are frozen hard. They taste sour, sweet, and very cold. Hawthorn has many benefits. It can eliminate food accumulation, disperse blood stasis, expel tapeworms, stop dysentery, and especially help digestion.
That's very interesting! We had no idea hawthorns even existed, and now knowing a bit about their history and health benefits makes them even more intriguing. They are so delicious! 😋
Beijing is my home town. Hawthorn is one of my favorite fruits. Hawthorn trees are everywhere on the hills in outskirts of Beijing. We will pick hawthorns on school outing. The sour and sweet hawthorns are super delicious. We grow up with fresh hawthorn, hawthorn jam, hawthorn flavored candies, hawthorn ice cream, etc. Hawthorn is our staple fruit. One of the benefits of hawthorns is to lower one’s blood pressure.
He's the best little ambassador for the Great Wall. He was definitely the highlight of our trip, and that's saying a lot because the whole experience was incredible! 🥰
Hawthorn berries are the original and most popular choice for tanghulu for several reasons: a) Their tartness perfectly balances the sweetness of the sugary coating. b) As a wild berry, hawthorn is considered healthier compared to cultivated fruits. c) The unique mealy texture of hawthorn berries, rarely found in Chinese desserts or sweets, adds to their distinctive appeal.
Fall in Beijing offers beautiful colors, but if you go back in the winter when there's snow, it's whole different experience. White snow covered walls, tress, and frozen lakes.
Ashley is absolutely right,best season to visit Beijing is late September to October,apart from the 1st wk of October,coz it’s the national holiday week

你们把实物描述的很细节，很生动。评价每一个东西都很认真。在我理解，是因为山楂本身太酸了，所以要裹上糖衣才能卖的出去，因为人类更喜欢甜的东西。至于现在你看到的草莓、葡萄这种本身就是甜的水果也被裹上糖衣，我想是因为市场需要吧。你们选的的确是最传统的山楂。
Honestly the highest praise is that I wish this video is longer than 40 min

Hawthorn berries are the original and most popular choice for tanghulu for several reasons:
a) Their tartness perfectly balances the sweetness of the sugary coating.
b) As a wild berry, hawthorn is considered healthier compared to cultivated fruits.
c) The unique mealy texture of hawthorn berries, rarely found in Chinese desserts or sweets, adds to their distinctive appeal.
btw I think Mexican hawthorns taste very similar, I remember Pulparindo is made of Mexican hawthorn.
