@@yfexl-1584 The short answer is control, the long answer is tax and money. If allowing people to drink in public, people can buy alcohol at the market at lower prices and pay less in taxes. Forcing people to buy and drink only at certain locations, you have to pay higher prices, create more jobs and collect more taxes. Also, guns and alcohol don't go well together and since you can't banned guns, it's easier to control alcohol.
Having lived in China for many years, I would say the best part is not having to worry too much about safety. There's never really a risk of being robbed or held at gun point and the cities are quite nice to walk around in at night. I lived in SF for a number of years, and it's terrifying to see how crime and homelessness became so prevalent in the city.
Yup. Except for the young party set Americans don't venture out at night time much because risk to personal safety is too great. I would personally call that a human rights violation but others will call it a personal choice...one that is enforced by, erh, circumstances.
It looks that people are enjoying their life with freedom to drink in public. And it’s nice to be able to walk at night without worrying being robbed or shot like in the US!
Now, you know u may need a year or more if you wanted to know China deeper, not just big cities but places like Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi, even Tibet 😂😂😂😂 You will definitely be impressed by the variety of cultures and languages and it's own character and beauties of each place in China, but yet all live in harmony, this is the Chinese type of democracy, don't be brain washed by the biased western medias ❤❤❤❤❤
Shanghai is great. We lived and worked in a gritty poor city in Anhui Province about an hour flight to Shanghai. It was like going to a different planet when we left our third world location on the murky Yangtze River to enjoy the first tier city. Outside of the traffic, street hawkers, people who wanted pictures of foreigners and intense air pollution it’s a fun place.
As a black American Wow! I’m studying Mandarin and wanted to see boots on the ground! This VLOG series on China by Sly is confirmation of what I thought about the Chinese people and culture ! Extremely motivated thanks sly
Mandarin is a great language to learn but I wouldn't say China overall is a black friendly country just FYI. The amount of racism I've seen here is astounding.
There's no law about drinking in public so it is perfectly legal. In addition, there's no minimal drinking/smoking age in China. Chinese law is more relax in this area compared to that of USA.
China has the second largest GDP in the world, only behind the United States. The western media never denied that. If the government put majority of the country’s resources into several cities, that’s what he saw in Shanghai.
Yeah pretty much. When I went in 2014 I was shocked. Nothing like what I was told. My coworker thought I was going to get jailed for being American and no one would ever find me 😅😅😅
The most comfortable thing in China is safety. I believe that personal life and property safety is the highest priority and a fundamental prerequisite for freedom. you can let go of all your guard and do what you want, is it not the greatest freedom?
It's important, but the greatest freedom is tied to political freedom/ the right to self-governance. How can you do what you want if you don't have that? Without it, another's rules will always dictate what you can and can't do.

Xin Tian Di literally means New Heaven and Earth or New World. Me and my wife loved that neighborhood. Very posh, all working professionals. Spas open till 5am to cater to workers working till midnight!
Xintiandi is not as happening as it use to be years ago. Brown Sugar and CFW were great places with live music. Both gone now. Calix is still there I see. Kind of cool place, used to get some live music not sure they still do.

This is not the nightlife in Shanghai, the nightlife there is like the nightlife in Manhattan or LA, but 10 folds larger every single night and not just Friday or Saturday nights. Venues like MAO Live House are packed with live gigs and are packed full to the hilt every single night unlike in the US which is just a weekend thing.
night life has a different meaning in China or even the east south Asia...they have a clubing bar hopping night life too but drinking is so so so so so free there that it redefined bar hopping so the night life in China is for everyone from eating clubbing and just all entertainment you like... not like most of the west where at 7 o'clock the place is dead for only selected place only... lol that's night call night life.....and like most people speaking on this... you are 99 percent not going to get shot...

Sly, my mandarin is only beginner level, but the guy you thought was asking for money, he was likely offering to treat you to a meal. “Chifan” is literally “eat meal”. Not likely asking for one since your camera isn’t edible.
No... this guy is on my street. He's asking for "money to eat." He only knows "MONEY" in English. He's a part of some cult-like gang. They take the money to an underground group and share the wealth. There's a darker side to it, but I'll leave it up to you to find out.
I played ice hockey in Shanghai for 2 years semi-professionally and you know I spoke the language and everything and when I extremely happy somedays and extremely depressed somedays. China is a very interesting place and one word that describes China perfectly is 矛盾 I leave it to you guys to research and explore the philosophy behind that Chinese character.
FYI, "X" in chinese pinyin is pronounced "sh", not "ch". The place you visited, Xintiandi, therefore is called "Shin Tee-en Dee". It means New World, a very popular spot to hang out for tourists and locals alike.
Well, technically it's not pronounced as "sh" nor "ch", it's just more similar to "sh". I don't think there's such a "X" pronunciation in english. So new stuff to learn. :)
Yes.. i am from the eu. but i live in wuhan.. after work i drink my beer way to home. walking and drinking..sitting on a bench relaxing and after that in the evening i am going to a club or a bar..lots of westerner meets at a bar..enjoy dance drink..and late at night we go home..so freely.. just don`t drive after drink.. drug and using gun is a big trouble in China. even do not think about it.
some people say Beijing is good because Beijing is really really big, you can find everything here, but you need to travel the whole of Beijing city to find it, or you can find a friend to take you to play.
Yep, this is Shanghai's Xintiandi. One of the best place to hangout along with Pudong, Nanjing Rd, the bund, and with less popular but really good area like Huahai Rd, Xujiahui
NO.Many chinese people don't like Shanghai. China has so much suitable city for living in, such as suzhou, hangzhou, chengdu, kunming, nanning, etc, etc, on the other side of the life much better than Shanghai, Shanghai is just a developed economy prosperity, but life's not as good as those cities.
@kianasu5737 I have no problem with that. But it’s illegal in most of the western countries like UK US AUS NZ on and on and on……. That’s why the vloger pointed it out.
What a pity, you can't find a man with long braids, and there is no homeless along the street conner. never get a chance to hear a gunshot til old to die here, dont care which block is safe or dangerous. As long as my legs don't hurt, there are too many There are many places to find new things to play. u never know that there are already many foreigners living comfortably here, they dont tell otherbody.
很多人想知道到底歧视黑人吗？中国是科比的第二故乡，中国如此喜欢科比，因为他的精神和中国的勤奋十分吻合，就是近些年，很多黑人在中国破坏秩序，暴力袭击，使得很多中国人有讨厌黑人的倾向，如果你创造自己的价值认识自己，我们都在一个天空下，都是一家人，否则就背道而驰。 Many people want to know if there is discrimination against black people? China is Kobe's second hometown, and China loves him so much because his spirit is very consistent with China's diligence. In recent years, many black people in China have disrupted order and carried out violent attacks, which has led many Chinese people to have a tendency to dislike black people. If you create your own value to know yourself, we are all under the same sky, as a family, otherwise it will go the other way.
Hell yeah amigo! Looks like you’re having a great adventure. I’ve been wandering around asia for a pretty long time now. Fucking love it here. I know this is a huge generalization but Asian people make really nice societies. Polite, safe, innovative, affordable, etc. I’ve been meaning to go back to the states for months now but just can’t muster up the will to leave.
Why not visit both? Though comparing SK to China is not really fair since SK is only the size of a small province in China. The diversity in China is incomparable. Though as a cities, Shanghai does look more impressive than Seoul.
They’re smart enough to put a lot of LED lights up for people to be able to see at night and be safe , Unlike America… I wonder when will we figure it out.
The place you were looking for is called Xintiandi (pronounced shin tien de)... Btw, drink responsibly and Shanghai nightlife have never been said together in the history of Shanghai. LOL.
only in US illegal to drink in the street but legal carry weapons in the street

I played ice hockey in Shanghai for 2 years semi-professionally and you know I spoke the language and everything and when I extremely happy somedays and extremely depressed somedays. China is a very interesting place and one word that describes China perfectly is 矛盾 I leave it to you guys to research and explore the philosophy behind that Chinese character.
you say 矛盾 in chinese is 阴阳
contradiction or dilema or two-sides or ?
@@zim2023Dwl go ask a chinese friend have a conversation about it. :)
The alleyways of Shanghai are so beautiful. It looks like a fun city
Great job man exactly the content i was looking for
Wow really cool !!
FYI, "X" in chinese pinyin is pronounced "sh", not "ch". The place you visited, Xintiandi, therefore is called "Shin Tee-en Dee". It means New World, a very popular spot to hang out for tourists and locals alike.
Well, technically it's not pronounced as "sh" nor "ch", it's just more similar to "sh". I don't think there's such a "X" pronunciation in english. So new stuff to learn. :)
You can pronounce it as "Thin“
Everyone walking around drinking out on the street 😮
Welcome to the freedom
because no one commit a crime after alcohol
Yes.. i am from the eu. but i live in wuhan.. after work i drink my beer way to home. walking and drinking..sitting on a bench relaxing and after that in the evening i am going to a club or a bar..lots of westerner meets at a bar..enjoy dance drink..and late at night we go home..so freely.. just don`t drive after drink.. drug and using gun is a big trouble in China. even do not think about it.
@@ozanbasaran9671 In China, drugs and firearms may put you in prison or even face the death penalty!
Xin-tian-di: pronounciation is: Shin-Tee-an di, Xin is new, Tian is sky, di is ground, basically it means new world, new area.
Man it’s poppin out there ⚡️
So different from what CNN and BBC showed. Dude, you have a different camera?
哈哈哈哈，那些媒体的画面故意做处理了的！
Western media also say that China has committed genocide, but Muslims are the ethnic group with the largest population growth.😂
It is much safer spewing fake news about China than spewing fake news about Dominion Voting Machines company.
China observer on RUclips is depressing.
Great video..keep going. subscribed.
@Sly, it's LED lights. Almost no one make neon lights now a day.
Thx for the video! I've never been to Xintiandi in the evening. 😀
some people say Beijing is good because Beijing is really really big, you can find everything here, but you need to travel the whole of Beijing city to find it, or you can find a friend to take you to play.
北京好个鸡巴 极端的天气 夏天特别热 冬天特别冷 也就秋天凑合能处
Yeah, Beijing is really big. A side effect of living in Beijing is ... when you go to other cities, you feel living in a box.....
@serriajohn Then I am gonna check out Xiongan. It is not far from Daxing Airport.
作为在南方多座城市生活过，并且在北京也住过两年的南方人来说：我更喜欢的是北京的天气，比南方好了太多。南方太过潮湿了，到了夏天雨季没完没了下雨；冬天又是湿冷，同样过完冬至后又几乎天天下雨。
但是城区精致度来说，我感觉南方的不少城市要更胜一筹，也许是因为北京的老建筑太多，加上摊的太大的原因吧。
beijing is shit lol
Futuristic city Dream city wishes the US had such a City.
The closest in the US would be NYC.
We need more of these videos
Great vid! What visa did you get to stay there so long?
Damn, i got dizzy just by looking at how crowded it is 😨. Maybe I'm too old for that 😅😂
Yes grandpa.
Thank you for your videos, and thank you for your share, I have never seen that 😀 😊 😄 ☺️
It looks very nice...
im heading out to shanghi in a few months. where in shanghi is this?
Xintiandi is located at No.333 Huaihai Middle Road, Huangpu District
@CiaoChaos thank you. This place was a lot of fun
I know this area. I had Italian food there before, though it wasn't as good as that Alimentari restaurant I told you about
Good video man from nyc
Nice vlog, what do you film these with?
Very nice and friendly
Girls out and about on the street enjoying themselves in the middle of the night.
Drinking in public is legal in China
There aren't any fat people, they must be starving. We are so well fed in comparison because we've democracy
I seen one in a Cafe to left. But nothing wrong with overweight.
胖子晚上不好意思出门😂晚上出门都是帅哥美女
Because fat guys r not willing to go out at night, they’re just staying home drinking cola and play some video games , jerk off and sleep.
China has 3D display billboard in most of the big cities. There should be one in Shanghai although I have no idea where.
Outside the shopping mall on the mall
Thank you for sharing!
Better than any US city! Definitely!
Chinese are nice and shy.
10:12 what a belter 😍
Shanghai looks fun!
Yep, this is Shanghai's Xintiandi. One of the best place to hangout along with Pudong, Nanjing Rd, the bund, and with less popular but really good area like Huahai Rd, Xujiahui
He's also in Huangpu Xuhui area along the Julu Rd strip and Changle Road. I live in this area. Surprised he didn't catch me walking my dogs :)
Thanks
Shanghai is the best city in China~~~~
NOPE
no Hangzhou is the best
as a Chinese ，i dont think sooo😂
with all due respect my hometown is better hehe
NO.Many chinese people don't like Shanghai. China has so much suitable city for living in, such as suzhou, hangzhou, chengdu, kunming, nanning, etc, etc, on the other side of the life much better than Shanghai, Shanghai is just a developed economy prosperity, but life's not as good as those cities.
I think the person at around 11:06 was saying “买你吃饭” not “money” which means buy you food/dinner 😂😂
蚂蚁吃饭ants eating - name of the restaurant he tried to invite you in
probably just a very drunk person
屁，应该是个“乞丐”，意思就是给她钱买饭吃，但她只会money
money吃饭，就是乞丐要钱吃饭
@@周永康-j7y 不是，应该是拉客的，叫他进去吃饭
Welcome all friendly friends to visit China ❤
Looks Like freedom!
It’s legal to drink and walk in public 😊
Yes, this is the democratic freedom of the Chinese people.
The problem is that if caught by a US police you may not see the next sun rise LOL
@kianasu5737 I have no problem with that. But it’s illegal in most of the western countries like UK US AUS NZ on and on and on……. That’s why the vloger pointed it out.
@@tristans7153 you can drink in public in the UK, but not in Canada, US. I don't know about Australia and NZ
In the United States, if you drink on the road and are a black person Is there a risk of being shot?
What a pity, you can't find a man with long braids, and there is no homeless along the street conner. never get a chance to hear a gunshot til old to die here, dont care which block is safe or dangerous. As long as my legs don't hurt, there are too many There are many places to find new things to play. u never know that there are already many foreigners living comfortably here, they dont tell otherbody.
The Xin is more closely pronounced like Shin, so more of an Sh- sound than a Ch- sound
40% of Shin + 60% of Sin = Xin

很多人想知道到底歧视黑人吗？中国是科比的第二故乡，中国如此喜欢科比，因为他的精神和中国的勤奋十分吻合，就是近些年，很多黑人在中国破坏秩序，暴力袭击，使得很多中国人有讨厌黑人的倾向，如果你创造自己的价值认识自己，我们都在一个天空下，都是一家人，否则就背道而驰。
Many people want to know if there is discrimination against black people? China is Kobe's second hometown, and China loves him so much because his spirit is very consistent with China's diligence. In recent years, many black people in China have disrupted order and carried out violent attacks, which has led many Chinese people to have a tendency to dislike black people. If you create your own value to know yourself, we are all under the same sky, as a family, otherwise it will go the other way.
Some Chinese are racist to black people cause they think they are lazier and more criminal. As long as he's fine, he's fine.
The ‘x’ is a ‘sh’ sound. It’s pronounced like shin
more like hs
more like "sin".
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 sure if you're from taiwan, but it's still different from s. They use "hs"
@@indeficit2Westerners don't know what to do when they see hs 😄
Not the very same. 'x' needs to shut down the teeth.
Hell yeah amigo! Looks like you’re having a great adventure. I’ve been wandering around asia for a pretty long time now. Fucking love it here. I know this is a huge generalization but Asian people make really nice societies. Polite, safe, innovative, affordable, etc. I’ve been meaning to go back to the states for months now but just can’t muster up the will to leave.
some of the malls are very impressive inside so you should go in
Sly was checking out the Ladies in Shanghai
X is Sh sound, Q is Ch sound. Hope that helps
What the true freedom lokes like, you never need to warry lose life on street shooting.
I guess its safe for black tourists in China. I thought South Korea was the place i wanted to visit the most,but China might be it.
Why not visit both? Though comparing SK to China is not really fair since SK is only the size of a small province in China. The diversity in China is incomparable. Though as a cities, Shanghai does look more impressive than Seoul.
@@shineluvslambiel When I win the lotto yes👍💰. Flying from Canada ain't cheap to Asia.
whatever welcome to South Korea and China🎉 welcome to Asia
Definitely go to south korea. South korean women loves black men
@@zackwang9314 i dont think so
shanghai is my favorite city
They’re smart enough to put a lot of LED lights up for people to be able to see at night and be safe , Unlike America… I wonder when will we figure it out.
China is very very safe not like the United States.
Two weeks is so short man,you should take two weeks in a province not a huge country like China😅😅
The place you were looking for is called Xintiandi (pronounced shin tien de)... Btw, drink responsibly and Shanghai nightlife have never been said together in the history of Shanghai. LOL.
what area is this where all the bars are?
