What impresses me is all the barber shops still have the traditional barber's poles in front the entrances which now becoming more and more rare in North America due to the cost of in acquiring one of them or they have become "hair salons" instead !
Guangzhou south Station is not even the biggest train station in the city. There is a newly built Baiyun train station in the north west part of the city. It is the biggest train station in China if I am not wrong. And the train station has a huge 30 meter high platform it feels like you are in the underground. There are also apartment shopping malls and business offices in the train station. The train station is also a realist property. But currently most of the shops are still seeking for tenants.
I enjoy your take on China, thank you for showing us the different local scenarios and not just a typical tourist spot. I'm pretty sure I saw a past video where you were embarking on your 2nd China trip, this time with a handheld translator... did it not work out? I'm asking because I saw you struggling communicating with the kids in this video and one of those devices could have made your interaction so much more pleasurable - IMHO. Myself, I don't speak Mandarin other than Hello and Thank you, and I was in 5 cities in China with my handheld translator and it was a game changer - it was my BEST purchase ever prepping for a trip. It was so much easier than using a phone APP, and I didn't have to keep looking down into my phone - I could keep my face and eyes up focused on the person across from me rather than have to keep an eye on my phone screen, because I do enjoy interacting with the locals, especially the curious children who are fearless enough to approach me.
@@dragongirl266 yes we have it in our kit and we still use it from time to time. But once we have our vpn set up we tend to use google translate on our phones just one less device to carry around.
I'm not working for any company but Timekettle's T1 mini is the bomb! - the mini version not the regular bigger model. I wore it around my neck the moment I stepped outside my hotel room in China and I was able to chat with anyone- from the hotel staff to the drivers to the storekeepers to the kids on the street. Helped me out so so much because I do like to interact with those around me. I liked this particular model because it's light weight and small and had the necessary attachments to wear it around my neck so i didn't have to put it in a pocket plus it has a telescopic cord so that I can extend the reach out to the other person to see and hear. At a second's notice I could grab my translator and start using it without fumbling into pockets to look for it. And with the dedicated button for talk mode i didn't have to look down to the device each time I used it meaning I kept my head up for eye contact when we talked. In fact all my China vakay photos showed a turquoise ribbon around my chest area which was the T1 mini hanging from my neck. I'm going to take it with me to other foreign countries from now on. I'm also using it now that I'm home to help learn phrases in Spanish because that's the language I want to learn. What a great buy! I know it sounds like I'm a rep for this company lol but I promise I'm not. It did take my enjoyment of China up many notches, that's for sure.
I'm passionately promoting a handheld translator because I identify with you as a chatty and curious person with an expansive mind... and it must be frustrating not being able to communicate easily when the locals are so friendly and want to engage with you.
The Chinese flat noodle is called “ CHOW FAN “ in Chinese. There are various kinds of chow fan in different cities in China. Depending on the city, the tastes are very different so you will have many many kinds of flavors. You will never get tired of trying noodles in China. I am one of those who can eat noodles everyday and never get tired of them. Enjoy your trips in China.
If u say chow fun in China / most Chinese cities, you gonna get fried rice (Chao fan in Mandarin). "chow fun" is a mostly western Chinese restaurant Cantonese name.
Guys, between ZhuHai and GuangZhou there is a city/district called ShunDe, the food capital of China, the best food, ever, beats all other cities, and you just went past it. Add it to your list, this whole city, is Michelin 3 stars, “worth making a specific trip to it” 😂😂😂
For info, currently Guangzhou alone has 3 major train station, i.e. Guangzhou (oldest), Guangzhou East (later) and Guangzhou South (shown in this vlog and also the latest). Sometimes later they will be joined by Guangzhou Baiyun (or North). They all are quite far apart from each other but linked by metro. These stations are built not for acclaim but really needed as Guangzhou is earmarked as transport hub for the Great Bay Area covering tens of major cities like Hong Kong and Shenzhen and those second-tiers plus hundreds of third / fourth-tiers. China's infrastructure is planned ahead to cater for needs in next tens of years.
We were in Zhuhai last December, at an hotel near the train station and we just walked across the road, to cross the border to Macau, where you can get a bus to the city centre, to one of the most amazing places we've ever seen. Portuguese style streets, churches etc, massive casinos, full size replica of Houses of Parliament and St Mark's Square in Venice and 1/3 rd size Eiffel Tower, plus brilliant copy of Galerie Lafayette etc. Worth a day out, although a bit hectic getting through customs.
Really really enjoy your videos❤Been following since your first trip to China:) plz keep posting more!! Born and raised in Guangzhou, I miss allll the street foods back home, which I can’t find here in the States. Watching you guys enjoy them brings me so much joy and nostalgia
Oh, the train you took was actually the latest inter-city line joining Guangzhou and nearby cities. Ticket is booked like for the train but cars are being operated as metro, like a hybrid. So if you miss the one you book, you can still aboard the next train but no seat assigned unless you find untaken one. I think that's why your seats were taken by someone else. This aims for more speedy operation but still being finetuned.
If not mistaken, that noodle is called HorFun (cantonese) or Hefen (mandarin)，and the chinese sausage is called LapCheong (cantonese) or LatChang (mandarin). Those 2 are “very Guangdong” food ingredients.
it was the 6th november when i got married and Macau and Zuhai both had xmas decs up. so early even when you think it is get earlier every year in the uk
5:08 you are in GuangDong Province, never waste your appetite on those craps...... well the egg tart worths a try because it’s from Andrew’s (I think that’s the name) in Macau which is a Michelin 1 star place. And the shops in Macau is too crowded, always a long queue for at least 30 minutes. So just try the egg tart , not much different than the original one in Macau.
just a couple tips on asking for 1 or 2. if you want 1 of something, say "yi ge" (e and ge sounds like ger as in her but with a g). when you want 2, use "liang" instead of er you were using. liang is like a pair so "liang ge" is a pair of those. "er" or 2 is really only used when counting... don't ask me why lol.
@@ivyshy98 oh haha thank you 🙏 actually we are both eager to do a intensive mandarin course. We want to get a long term visa and of course the more of the language we pick up the easier it will become
23:13 - I think the lady said it was pork when you asked if it was beef. Here's a tip for future reference. Since the camera panned upwards, couldn't see if you were pointing to the same thing she said that was pork. Pork (猪肉) will sound like "zoo road / zoo row" to your western ears. Beef (牛肉) will sound like "new road / new row" to your ears. Mutton (羊肉) - "young road / young row" Chicken (鸡肉) - someone speaking pidgin English trying to say ZERO but ended up saying "jiro" 😂 ps 30:25 - that little girl was asking you guys - "what language are you speaking?" 😁,, you know, just in case you were wondering
You can try the new whole fried chicken at KFC. I think there are two other ones too. One with sauce and a whole roasted chicken. You should have tried it on the train. You can order food like KFC from the QR on your seat and it'll be delivered and brought onto the train at one of the next stations.
There are many types of noodles in China.In North, it’s wheat noodles. In South, we have rice noodles. Rice noodles basically has three types. 河粉（He fen ）, is flat shape. 米粉（Mi fen）, is very very thin like thread 🪡. 桂林米粉( Gui Lin Mi Fen ) or 濑粉 ( Lai Fen) is round shape. What you eat is 河粉（He fen）。( pronounced similar to “ her fen”, not “ he”. ) There are another type of noodles made with cassava as well.
河粉 = he fen flat rice noodles. love em myself too. ya'll need to add some chilli oil crisps in it though... now that makes it even better. something like Lao Gan Ma.
Every town has their park, its free and relax. Just wear long pants, because most of the time there are mosquito's. Lot of plants and flowers you never seen before.
The "noodles" you are eating are called "He Fen" (Sha He noodles), which are made from rice. We recommend that you definitely try "Gan Chao Niu He" (fried beef He Fen). It would be regrettable if you didn't eat it in Guangzhou.
Zuhai was the first place on the main land i went to when i stayed at my wife's place in Macau (where we got married) and it is where we want to live when we retire . it is not far from my step daughters (Hong Kong and Macau) and not far from the rest of the family in Guangzhou. One day when get back to China i will see the tourist parts of both cities as being with family only see the locals parts
It is winter in China now, so if you are interested, you can add cities in northern China to your travel plan, the weather there is very cold, I hope you have a good trip😊❤
Since Ben likes coffee and Luckin so much, perhaps try another Chinese chain like Cotti or Manner. Also please do try KFC, Pizza Hut, etc. as they have interesting items customized to the Chinese palate. Would be interesting to get your reactions. You guys are down to earth, nice people and enjoyable to watch on your China series. Enjoy your journey thru China!
Yes I have actually heard that kfc have made the biggest effort to adapt to the Chinese taste that’s why they have had so much success in China. It’s most definitely on the agenda to try.
@OTWD_yt just /g/ . ge个 or zhi只is just "piece" or "set" before noun. you don't say two sheep "liang sheep" it would be wierd. instead we say "liang zhi sheep".
13:50, the lady in red is looking at you guys 😁. When I was in one town in the US, when I just got there from a trip, I got a lot of stares too cause I look Asian. It was like it was there first time seeing someone who looked Asian. I didn’t see any bad intentions though. It was kind of funny to me.
@@OTWD_yt pls eat unconditional streetfood occasionally maybe artificial material/additives or unhygienic:) just enjoy the style only, there are a lot of formal restaurants:)

Oh hah. We are looking into a 10 year multi entry visa. We Will Ofcorse continue to travel but China will be our base in the future. Well that’s the plan.
@@KingCitizenSlave thank you the videos are recorded and boated so we are a couple of weeks ahead of this. But I do that everything on board but at this point I had not learnt it. So please continue to give me tips, suggestions and information. We both Really appreciate it 😊
Do you think you will add Hainan to your visit list? Sanya - Yalong bay or something. I believe there is a train trip you can do around the whole island.. in one day too if you time it/plan it nicely
My husband and I spent 5 nights there for our babymoon in 2013. We loved it so much. We are finally going back.. with our 3 kids for Christmas this year. We can't wait
The skyline of Shanghai is also the real China. The palaces in Beijing are also the real China. The Great Wall is also the real China. Don't you mean that you would like to see a poor rural village? Not all rural villages in China are poor. IMO, if it is in China it is the real China. However, foreigners want to see a poor rural village because that to them is the real China. Keep in mind that China never had endless colonies like the UK to make it wealthy. Not to mention that the opium trade with the UK actually drained China of its silver reserves.
Language has some weird rules and that includes Chinese. When you count to two you say "er,", however when you want two of something, you don't say "er", you say "liang". Its easier to just say (number) ge. So if you want one (of something) you say "yi ge," if you want two its "liang ge", not "er ge" and three is "san ge," and so on. The number two is the exception. Its just one of the weird rules all languages have.
Two important historical events happened near Zhuhai: the final battle in the conquer of Song dynasty by Mongols in 1200s, ans the burning of British opium in 1840.
You wouldnt ever go back to KFC or BK or Maccy Ds ever again in the UK!!! Trust me!! We're being ripped off in the UK plus the chicken or burgers and the variety isnt as good as Chinese equivalent!!!!! Seriously!!! Big Mac!? Small Mac more like!!!
Good choice. Supercity cannot represent a Real china. Even Zhuhai is not a small town. First of all Chinese usually work 12 hours per day. So there you’ll see strong night business cultures in china even 05:00 a.m.😂
Zhuhai is next to Macau. Shenzhen is next to Hong Kong. Macau & HK both are special administration region of China. Both Zhuhai & HK you need to cross the border to Macau & HK respectively.
Thanks!

Oh hah. We are looking into a 10 year multi entry visa. We Will Ofcorse continue to travel but China will be our base in the future. Well that’s the plan.
Also gonna try to do a Chinese language course just to pick up some basic Chinese
watching you eat all those delicious food making my mouth water 🙂
Thank you 😋
You are having 'Chow Ho Fun' in the video
I told you that when you were in Guilin. It's called “her fern“. The Chinese word is 河粉.
@@KingCitizenSlave thank you the videos are recorded and boated so we are a couple of weeks ahead of this. But I do that everything on board but at this point I had not learnt it.
So please continue to give me tips, suggestions and information. We both Really appreciate it 😊
Do you think you will add Hainan to your visit list? Sanya - Yalong bay or something. I believe there is a train trip you can do around the whole island.. in one day too if you time it/plan it nicely
@@vixmusiwa yes we almost went to Hainan a couple months ago but the typhoon hit. So unfortunately we had to cancel it. We will try to reschedule it.
My husband and I spent 5 nights there for our babymoon in 2013. We loved it so much. We are finally going back.. with our 3 kids for Christmas this year. We can't wait
@vickiemusiwa2255 amazing ❤️
@@OTWD_yt if you happen to go near Christmas.. let us know.. we can enjoy some Hainan Chicken together 👌
The skyline of Shanghai is also the real China. The palaces in Beijing are also the real China. The Great Wall is also the real China. Don't you mean that you would like to see a poor rural village? Not all rural villages in China are poor. IMO, if it is in China it is the real China. However, foreigners want to see a poor rural village because that to them is the real China. Keep in mind that China never had endless colonies like the UK to make it wealthy. Not to mention that the opium trade with the UK actually drained China of its silver reserves.
@@RM-qw3xz no not poor China in general. I just want to see beautiful places. Rich, poor. It doesn’t matter to me
Rhianne: "I Like a Big Juicy Chinese Sausage!" XDDDDDDD
Ben i think shes telling you something!!!! I think shes exposing you!!!
What ever keeps her happy mate 😂
Many public areas are humongous as the crowd that come out when theyre free will be huge.
They're not vacant. It's just not time.
Go to chimelong park
They have show at 2000 hrs , drone and fireworks at the ocean park
This noodle is rice noodle，in Chinese called “mifen 米粉”，is local food in South China
Thank you 🙏
The Chinese food is really Delicious ❤

Guangzhou..... not Gaungzhou guys.
🤦♂️ thank you ☺️
@OTWD_yt 👍
One thing about China is you eat well and not breaking the bank.
💯💯
Language has some weird rules and that includes Chinese. When you count to two you say "er,", however when you want two of something, you don't say "er", you say "liang". Its easier to just say (number) ge. So if you want one (of something) you say "yi ge," if you want two its "liang ge", not "er ge" and three is "san ge," and so on. The number two is the exception. Its just one of the weird rules all languages have.
😂中国人会说两个人 ，不会说二个人。
@@mrfriendlyguy yes I’m trying to get my head round it. It’s hard haha
广州火车站的确非常大
It’s amazing

China is awesome! Have to see it to believe it! Thank you for sharing! ❤😊
@@linus631 you are welcome 🙏
Please try driverless taxi ride in Shenzhen.
@@917amazon yes we will be.
Two important historical events happened near Zhuhai: the final battle in the conquer of Song dynasty by Mongols in 1200s, ans the burning of British opium in 1840.
Wish you enjoy your trip to China. If you come to Beijing, you can contact me and I'll treat you to douzhi (a traditional Beijing beverage).
you missed the international air show. zhuhai is not a simple city.
We left just before 👍
You wouldnt ever go back to KFC or BK or Maccy Ds ever again in the UK!!! Trust me!! We're being ripped off in the UK plus the chicken or burgers and the variety isnt as good as Chinese equivalent!!!!! Seriously!!! Big Mac!? Small Mac more like!!!
@@antwango yes I know. We’re being conned massively back home.
🎉🎉
❤️❤️❤️
The little girl asked what language were you speaking?
Ah ok thanks 😊
😀😀😀
😆😆
Good choice. Supercity cannot represent a Real china. Even Zhuhai is not a small town.
First of all Chinese usually work 12 hours per day. So there you’ll see strong night business cultures in china even 05:00 a.m.😂
@@housewoods8880 yes 👍 definitely a big night community where everyone meets for some nice street food.
No one steal your money and information in China, it is very safe
Yes 💯
phone payment is safe😅
请注意控制体重哦
💯💯👍
is zuhai next to shenzhen?
珠海應該比較近澳門。
Zhuhai is next to Macau.
Shenzhen is next to Hong Kong. Macau & HK both are special administration region of China. Both Zhuhai & HK you need to cross the border to Macau & HK respectively.
@@zhangjin7179 yes 👍 just a ferry away.
I'm in Guangzhou, come and take you to eat delicious food
The thick noodle, Cantonese call "ho fen" (河粉), is a type of wide Chinese noodle made from rice, it can be soup noodles or fried noodles
❤🎉
❤️❤️
Zhuhai should be closer to Macau
Than what?
@@OTWD_yt Than Shenzhen ,
give Hong Kong or Macau a visit perhaps
Just imagining seeing some little girls in the street late at night, how possible!
Because its extremely safe here
❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
Anyone think Ben looks like Nathan Drake from Uncharted shaved XDDDDD
