I was really astonished when I visited this series of mall in Nan Shan area of Shenzhen back in early 2018! Then again in the Bao An centre featuring another mall 壹方城 by a more local developer.. What impresses me most is the beautiful finishing of the ceiling of modern malls in China. See, even the part under the escalator is nicely done with lighting lines.❤
@ 10:57 , one noticeable difference between this mall and typical Western mall: the Chinese malls have very wide pedestrian walkway. Western malls maximize rental floor space at the expense of pedestrian walkway, hence, pedestrians feel cramped, squeezed, or suffocated.
no , we are just too fat and need to ride does electric scooters, so what we need in our malls are roads with side walks and traffic light to accommodate all our fat non walking ppl inside the malls😂
Yes I'm fairly new to RUclips and it was my mate John Williams who used to live in Nanning with his wife Ping who introduced me to the Gwelio60 channel. I can't wait to go back and my Chinese wife and family are beaming with happiness. it's been a while and it was great some years ago but looks even better now. Thanks for sharing Kirk and yes i have been sharing your vids on my own channel witch is still in it's infancy LOL
The Ole market you showed was the only place in Nanning that I found western-style Red Bull. It's a great place for expats to find the snacks they miss!
I wonder. It’s got a lot of floors… but I feel like west Ed is still bigger, especially with the theme park, water park, theatres, etc etc. the food court was pretty small at mixc. Fun to see all the different stores ( aside from the luxury brands)
The shopping mall in Humen, Guangdong, I visited last year had electric cars in a showroom, expensive cars. We got something to east but didn't buy anything else. Another friend took me to a clothing outlet building where she bought be some shirts and pants. Fun times.
this mall is huge and nice clean, and there are famous brand like Tom Ford, Saint Laurent so beautiful clothings which even in Vancouver we don't have , I don't know why a lots of famous fashion brand won't open a store in Vancouver?
I think Vancouver in Canada just doesn't have enough people to sustain some of the posh stores you find in China. It is a city eerily quiet on a supposedly busiest day.
Some years ago when I was still in Shenzhen, my American friend asked me if he were to bring USD5K to China, is he going to live like a king? I told him I will show him how to spend his USD5K within 10 seconds....🤣 Talk about ignorance..😅

Kirk. I wonder what it cost for me to mail a pound of bacon to Nanning? I stayed at a hotel in Luoyand and they had real bacon. I had a local friend come for breakfast and it was his first time trying bacon and they also had aunt Jemima so I showed him bacon and syrup that day. He must have eaten 2 lb.s of bacon that morning! Then, sad story he got cancer and died. He was such a kind and gentle soul. He was training to be a doctor in Beijing. But the smile on his face eating bacon is a lovely memory I cherish. Cheers from Calgary!
Love MixC - flying into nanning next month and spending a week in the marriott, so will take a stroll over. Such an amazing city. The Japanese BBQ place there is so good.
We've got a massive MixC mall in Jinan, Shandong, where there's a brilliant Maolu Sechuan restaurant, with fantastic food. We also have a couple of Ole supermarkets, where you can get a French baguette for 15 yuan, although they're only about 4.90 yuan in Da Yun Fa (K Mart) We go there for bacon, cheese, baked beans and cornflakes.
Alcoholism is rare in China, most Chinese don't drink alcoholic beverages in spite being sold everywhere. Sipping a beer while walking in a straight line on the road means not drunk. When Chinese drink they mostly eat a lot of food at same time, and they don't drink everyday, most drink only when there's something to celebrate.
I don't know exactly how many middle classes Chinas has. Assuming the country has 450 millions people that are middle class, it's already richer than the US. US has somewhere 340 million total population and how many of them are middle class? That's why European and US companies want to enter for business.
@@rocketmangenesisYou are right about per capita income but per capita doesn't give you a clear picture. A McDonald's hamburger may cost $10 in Taiwan but in China it costs $4.50. Taxes, costs of food, transportation, housing etc are higher in Taiwan which means that the Chinese Remimbi goes further. My country Singapore has one of the highest per capita income in the world but it's also the most expensive city in the world. The cost of living presents a better picture of which country lives better.
This is what American businessmen know all along. The market for their goods is here - you can't make money from 1.4 billion people, where can you do so?
Is it possible to forget food you are used to? I se people looking for a American burger when they travelled to Thailand. I myself only eat good delicious local food. I try to find new favourite dishes and can't say that I miss other food. Even the breakfast can be really delicious compared to expensive tourists breakfast near the hotel areas, what do you think? Can coffe be changed to tea in the morning, bread to some noodles or rice dish and not craving for old habits 🤔
I can’t compare bacons because Canadian bacon is all I know. One thing is that bacon tastes different when you are camping and out in the fresh air waking up early in the morning fighting off the lingering chill from the eloping night, the smell of coffee with the slices of bacon on the open fire frying pan, there’s no better taste of bacon in the world.
@@Gweilo60 Ah. So just past the Walmart but on the right hand side where the Parksons store is? I know now as I go to that area to the bank to convert my pensions into RMB. Didn't think it was that big.

Canadian Bacon is not the best either. It is what we call 'Streaky ' Bacon; what in the UK we put over a roast Chicken or Turkey. A true rasher of bacon has a 'body' and a 'tail'. Lovely shopping Mall. I can see the Chinese are oppressed.
If you want good back bacon in Canada you just need to find a farm and buy a good supply directly from them. We knew a good one in the Laurentians when we lived in Montreal. The same goes for maple syrup, meat, all sorts of things. Buy it direct from the producer, not in the supermarkets, and you will find excellent quality.
@@anthonymathews3872 So you can see the US across the Juan de Fuca Strait? Used to have friends in Saanich, lovely place, even if good bacon is not easy to find!
When you say bacon doesn't taste the same I thought about Thailand import beef from Australia, guess it's easier to have cattle in Australia. Piggies isn't the same all over the world and in the past the pork were more fatty and the western pork is less fat and more spread fat in the porkchops nowadays, it is different genes. It changed in the 70-s, maybe not the same in China?

Please talk about the Hukou system. Even President Xi suggested abolishing it before he became president, and it was controversial according to Xinhua news. It is said that the system is for food self-sufficiency, but then why do migrant workers exist? This is weird.
The Hukou system no longer prevents migrants from moving away from their homes in the villages like it did up to the early eighties. Migrant labour is what fueled China's economic development, so Hukous are no longer treated like internal passports to control movement. Instead, Hukous are now the basis for receiving social benefits such as public education and health services. Until the day they are abolished for good, Hukous function as subsidies to rich regions hosting the factories, because migrants and their children can't access any social welfare in the places where they work.
