    I'm amazed by your energy and just how you guys see, experience, and appreciate the different culture with really no presumptive good or bad - just showing the world what you see through your eyes, which I believe is truly what traveling and getting to know the world is all about. Thank you guys so much for doing so and happy and safe travelling!!

      Thank you very much. We really appreciate your kind words. We feel that same way that you do, travel is about exploring the world and getting to know more about other countries and their way of life. It's a wonderful privilege that we never take for granted.

    Visited in 2014 for 7 days, so quiet, no rickshaw rides, no western food, water gardens had only a few locals walking around and we met very few other tourists, this video is excellent in showing the changes in China.
    We did also visit Hangzhou, and stayed at the west lake, same thing, the walk around the lake was wonderful, revisited 2018 and the beauty of the lake walk has been spoiled by the use of electric cars using the lovely lakeside walkways to transport tourist quickly around the sights, also lots of western food restaurants, all with english menu but we found the staff had no idea what they were serving so most times you were lucky to get the dish you ordered.
    However all things do change, my comments are just observations not complaints, do visit it is still a wonderful destination.

    • @fengshi4284
      @fengshi4284 3 года назад

      Richshaws have existed for decades, and gardens are always crowded in holidays. Not sure which western food you were looking for, there have always have been some restaurants serving them. I think your experience was just due to the timing and locations.

I remember spending 10 weeks there - and subsequent personal travel - for an intensive study abroad language program - the Critical Language Studies Program for Mandarin - while in college. It was a truly beautiful experience. I remember it taking about 5 weeks to acclimate towards and feel at home in the culture. Once I did it, the arts and high culture of that city are second to none.
