      Do U know : Bonsai/Punsai the art of growing these miniature trees originates in China, where it is called "Penjing" or "Penzai". Penjing are miniature landscapes, displaying a combination of rocks, trees and figures - though increasingly single plants are shown in China these days.
      But popularize by Japan, same with Ramen : Lamian,
      Or Portugese Tempura.

      你们不应该给那两个拍照要钱的猴子,他们真的很讨厌,他们不会提前告知你拍照是需要收费的,他们凑上来邀请游客拍照会让人以为他们只是单纯的热情才邀请你拍照,可等你拍完了他们才会向你要钱,真的很让人厌恶

    Well as someone born and raised in Chengdu I'm just curious how's your stomach? After living in the US for several years I definetely can't have some spicy noodle and dumplings in the noon then go for a hotpot or ChuanChuan in the evening, they are way too heavy for me now. It's also interesting to see the places I literally grew up with in your video! The hotel you stayed at is just a few blocks away from my elementary school. Thanks for the video and trying so many authentic stuff!

    • @mikeandashley
      @mikeandashley  14 дней назад

      I think we’ve trained our stomachs on many years of spicy food from countries like Mexico, Thailand, Indonesia & India. We haven’t had any adverse side effects yet, though maybe we should cool it so we don’t do some kind of odd lasting damage that we can’t detect yet. 😅😅 We just LOVE spicy! 🌶️🥵😜
      We’re happy you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching. 🥰

      Regarding shared bicycles, the blue one is Alipay, the green one is WeChat, and the yellow one is Meituan. You can use the same sim card to rent one from each of the three companies. When you pay with Alipay, almost all chain stores support international credit cards. Some small stores are unwilling to pay the handling fee, so they use private payment methods that have not signed a contract with the bank, so they can only use the balance or savings card money.

    You Saw the famous Panda twin sister He Hua AKA Hua Hua at 30:43. A panda who sits with a triangluar back looked from behind, "with no chin no neck no shoulders and no waist", just sitting there like a fluffy rice roll. She moves slowly than the others, good temper but she is often "bullied" by her younger sister He Ye who snatches her bamboo shoots all the time. She is the weak one of the twins so normally in the wild when twins were born the mother would abandon the weak one and chose another, but Hua Hua wasn't, she is so loved and we all adore her, she is also the Honorary Director of Chengdu Culture and Tourism Bureau.🤣
    You guys are S~O lucky, giant pandas only are energetic at dawn and sunset, and the rest of the day they are on energy saving mode, it takes 1-2 hrs waiting in line and you only see her for 3 mins, it's really a "right time right place",something can't be enforced.👍
    Wrote this just in case if someone watched your lovely video and also wants to see the pandas but has no idea which and why.
    Glad to see you enjoyed your time in Chengdu and felt different vibes of major cities in China, see you in your next video.

    • @mikeandashley
      @mikeandashley  14 дней назад

      We felt very fortunate to be able to see her. Totally worth waiting in line! We weren’t sure what to expect, but we were very happy.
      Thanks for sharing this info! We are glad to know we got to see Hua Hua and He Ye! 🥹🥹🥰🥰 They are so cute.
      We got there at about 9am, so they were still pretty active. We could have stayed all day and seen many more pandas, but we had so much to do, and we knew that we’d be going and seeing more pandas for an upcoming video. 😉
      Thank you for watching our video! We’re glad you enjoyed it! 🥰🫶

    I enjoyed this video very much 😊 on 27:00 mins , that’s Huahua’s twin sister, named Heye! Fun fact: Heye was originally thought to be male (panda genders can be tricky to determine), but it was later discovered she’s female-so she went from being Huahua’s twin brother to her twin sister! 😂
    The enclosure they’re in (No.6) was once a ‘panda kindergarten.’ However, Huahua and Heye didn’t graduate due to their size, so it was renamed No. 6. while the other little panda “classmates”have already moved to their individual enclosures. 🐼🐼

    Holy moly, you guys had 串串 "Chuàn Chuàn"! And you even went for the spicy pot-good for you!
    I’m not sure I’d have done the same if I were taking my friends from Guangdong province to Chengdu, LOL.
    *串 (“Chuan”) is a measure word in Chinese, meaning a string of something. You can think of it as a synonym for “XX on a stick.”
    In Sichuan-especially in Chengdu, which is by far the most international city in the province-hotpot restaurants usually offer the option of a spicy pot, a plain pot, or a combination of the two (often called 鸳鸯锅 “Yuān Yāng Guō”). If you want to savor the true flavors of the ingredients next time, I’d recommend trying Yuān Yāng Guō.
    From my personal experience, some of our restaurants don’t offer the freshest ingredients. But if you can handle the taste of garlic, make sure to add plenty! The locals believe it offers great digestive benefits.
    Anyway, it looks like you’re having a blast in Chengdu. If you have time, come pay us a visit in the southern port city of Guangzhou, where the weather is warmer and the food is easier on the stomach!

    • @mikeandashley
      @mikeandashley  14 дней назад

      Haha, yea, we LOVE spicy, so it only made sense to try it. So many people told us to watch out for the spice, so we had to see for ourselves. 😜
      We have heard that Guangdong province has much milder flavored food that favors the base flavor of the ingredient. That sounds amazing too! TBH, we just love all Chinese food. 😅
      We are actually visiting Guangzhou! We’re very excited to make videos here and experience as much of the city as possible! Do you have any recommendations of things to do or food to try? We’ll take any suggestions you’ve got! 🤗

    The top is for the steam out of the bath unit. Chinese have a special thing about air flow. I remember when my parents visited me in the US.
