The “cyberpunk” city of Chongqing! What a massive city, with some of the friendliest people we have ever met. Enjoy the video everyone. Make sure to share this if you want to support our journey ❤
In fact, I would like to say that in China's May 1st Labor Day and National Day really do not go to the scenic spots, the experience is too bad. We Chinese can't help it. We only have three long holidays a year. So there will be a lot of people, and if we can, we will avoid these festivals and travel
To be honest, I watched this episode of your program with non-stop laughing. admire from my heart, It takes a lot of courage to join the wave of tourists during a long holiday in China, but one good thing about China is that no matter how many crowds there are, they are well managed and there is no need to worry about pickpockets or extortion, this is where I can't found in tourist attractions at most countries.
What I particularly like about Naomi and her husband is that they describe everything with such enthusiasm and delight in every detail. How could they have noticed so many things that I never paid much attention to, and described them so accurately?
Greetings from Singapore! I'm amazed by your China series, it seems that there are endless things to explore! I have been waiting everyday for a new video! If you are interested in speaking or learning Mandarin (Putonghua) you may start with using 'hanyupinyin' such as how you just said 'hongyadong'. It's extensively used in countries like mine where we've been Westernised and most of the citizens can't read Chinese characters anymore. It's like the English version of Chinese and they do have it on Google translate. Think of it of something like translating Russian Cyrillic alphabets to Latin Alphabets. Visiting China is definitely on my bucket list and I think it will take at least a year to travel to all the states! Hope you guys are enjoying yourselves! 😍🤩
In fact, a year is a little short. The scenery of the four seasons in each place is different, and the humanistic diet in each place is also different. If you want a deep play experience, it will take longer.😊
Amazing what happens when you have a government that actually serves the interests of its people, instead of military profiteering and exploitation. Mind you it helps that they have an economy that is built to actually create value, instead of just debt.
16:41 The pork bun you had is not a sichuan dish. It's from shaanxi province with the name肉夹馍， AKA the famous roujiamo, pronunced "Roger Mooer". Literally means "meat stuffed bun". The pork was cooked for three hours with twenty secret ingredients. There are two versions of the bun, one is original non-greasy version (the white bun) and extra-crispy-greasy version (the brown bun). You had latter. Roujiamo is a shaanxi specialty, but you can find it in almost all northen style noodle restaurant, like the one you are in. But the most genuine ones are to be found in shaanxi restaurant. Xi An is the Capital of shaanxi, my hometown. Famously for Its noodles and other mid west Asian style snacks. It's called the capital of carbohydrate. Welcome to explore Xi An!
@@TwoMadExplorers Someone in Bilibili has reposted your video more than you have watched on RUclips. When will you check in to Bilibili to do the video.
You guys are very brave I must say to venture our during the Chinese national holidays, it's packed with people in every tourist attraction 😅. Regarding the food, there is a American girl says she will spend a year to try all the dishes in China, four years later, she still in sichun province 😂.
lol you and Naomi chose the most busy time to visit chongqing, and if you are really into beef dish you guys should go to westnorth of China like Lanzhou, xi An and xinjiang
Naomi has a perfect persona for the camera in fact you both do I love your food bits the best as I don't find food boring especially far flung stuff bit like myself once haha.
You know what shocked me most when I visit Chongqing? It's the power of people to surviving in a bd environment. Just as you can see, Chongqing is built on mountains, so it's not very convenient for people to live there, but they do manage to build there happy life here. The buildings, the roads, et al.. It inspires me a lot. Chinese people (actually I think maybe every people in the world is the same) are not afraid of any difficulties because we do know that we can beat them with our hands
I’m originally from Suzhou, China, and I've been living in Canada for five years now. I haven't been back to my home country since, and I’ve never even visited Chongqing or Sichuan. It's amazing that I'm watching two foreigners show me what life is like in a city from my own country online! The food, the scenery, and all the friendly people in your video make me miss my country so much. Next year, I’m definitely taking a long vacation to travel back home🥺
I am loving your China series. Your sense of adventure is endless. Naomi is always so lighthearted and giggling and Luke is so chill and go-with-the-flow. This is sensory overload on another level. Honestly i feel that both you and we audience could benefit from a local guide. I found myself feeling stressed for you both. Is there any kind of a local guide or interpreter you can hire for a day or 2. China is a whole other ball game from what I am seeing. I actually asked my next door neighbour why he immigrated to Canada. No joke. It is super organized and advanced for the amount of people. And just stunning. A marvel of design, engineering and technology!
36:10 mahua 麻花, made of fried dough not popular in western countries yet otherwise there will be K-mahua(u know what K stands for, just like K-malatang or K-tanghulu). 39:40 i believe it is la luo bo gan 辣萝卜干 , spicy dried radish or turnip sort of thing, usually serverd as pickle cold dish or garnish
46:25 you are among the very few travel vloggers to showcase climbing these beautiful staircases. Incredible structures offering amazing views and adventure. Wow. Thanks for braving this day among the throngs of the brave Chinese people as well lol
Going to Chongqing especially the Hongyadong area on a Labor Day holiday is basically the equivalent of visiting the Spanish Stairs in Rome during the most touristy summer vacation days, or Times Square in New York during Christmas holidays.. you guys are indeed getting the touristy out of the touristy experience.
Yes, they are super brave to visit Hongya Tong on Labour Day. We have been to Chongqing twice within 6 months because we love this city so much and we plan to visit annually, preferably in winter, when the crowds are smaller. It was already getting busy with tourists in mid April and we avoided Hongya Tong during the weekends and Fridays. Such a crush, you don't really need much effort to walk, as you can only take baby steps! 😂
I'm from HK and I'm super ashamed that as a foreigner, you've already been more China cities in a single trip than my entire life did. Really enjoy seeing your video.
The food you guys had at the beginning of the video is actually cuisine of the north west. So not a typical Chongqing local, but yes they are hearty and filling.
All those stairs after all the food market, awesome combination, you can eat eat eat and then climb climb climb to burn it all off ! I love your videos, so genuine and honest.
Hi guys, I just wanted to take a second to thank you for your content, I´m going to Chengdu and Chongqing in September and I´ve been so nervous about how everything will be, there´s not a lot of content in western social media. Your videos feel like facetiming a friend! You are so real and relatable, I found you by chance but staying by choice hehe
hi,big fan here. if you are still there, Can you guys pls pls try Lanzhou Beef noodle once at any Chinese city, not necessarily need to be in Lan Zhou city, can be any brand just try search a high rated place. Pls, Lanzhou beef noodle or Lanzhou La Mian. In Chinese: 兰州牛肉面 or 兰州拉面. You don’t need try a spicy one, but please find a delicious one in some resturant. After that maybe try search where or how the name of "ramen" comes from. im feeling the internet culture police will come after me.
@@yangshen2427 I did not see any rude side of that lady, instead, she was very enthusiastic. She first spoke local language to Naomi and Luca but realized maybe they could not understand the dialect. Then she spoke Madarine trying to communicate until her son said Naomi and Luca do not speak Chinese. How cute that lady was.
I’ve never been to chongqing. The first time I heard about it it reminded me of San Francisco that also had all the hills and slopes. But later I realized Chongqing was much more massive and multi-layered.
The two cities also share some other similarities such as being foggy. Driving through the foggy mountainous parts of 101 north of the Golden Gate Bridge is amazing.
I lived in the SF bay area for 15 years before I moved back to Hong Kong in 2004. I agree with what you said about the similarities. But still, Chongqing is just a whole other level compare to SF. You gotta go there some time.
Yeah! Compared to Shanghai,Beijing ,Shenzhen and so on first lane cities, I would recommend cities like Chongqing,Chengdu,Xian,Jiangsu… more down to earth and of traits
39:40 This is called ‘Zhacai’, which means pickled mustard stems. It's a common side dish in Sichuan and Chongqing. You can find different shapes and flavours of Zhacai, some of them are covered with chilli powder and taste really spicy, and some that look yellow are not spicy but rather salty and even a little bit sweet. Btw, I really love your videos, I'm from Sichuan and some of my relatives live in Chongqing, I'm studying in London now and your videos really make me feel like I'm going back to my hometown. Keep exploring! I hope you both enjoy your trip!🙌❤
As a chinese person, I consider the irish are the best people on the planet. Theyre always positive and more open minded than many westerners. I love them a lot.
Yeah, I had an Irish co-worker once about 18 yeear ago and he was super cool. He also gave me a pre-Euro, old 20 Irish Pounds bill as a gift. I still have it until today.
@@bldomain Luke is actually from Ireland and Neomi is from Germany. Luke explained that most people (I think he mostly mean people from SE Asia) know Germany more than Ireland. So they just say Germany when people ask them where they are from. It's easier, he said.
You should also try Rou Jia Mo (Roger Moore) too, it's similar to the pork braised buns you tried, it's famous all over China but the one in Xi'an is the best 😊
The view would be much better if you went to Hongyatong at night. It would also be more spectacular if you went to the same square at the beginning of the video at night, as the light show along the river bank would make the view second to none. In general, Chongqing looks better at night than at day time owing to its landscape and foggy weather. I guess you guyes have already left Chongqing, otherwise I would recommend a few places a lot less noisy and more serene.
For those who are confused ,Cities are defined by various concepts.City proper concept is one of them.Tokyo is generally considered as largest city in the world,but according to city proper concept, Chongqing is the largest city proper in the world
I feel so happy when I am watching your videos Cuz your videos show the realities of Chinese cities. To be honest, I couldn’t find many countries that make me feel safe, like you can hang out anywhere anytime and get many kinds of foods. So I just give you my first comment on RUclips and looking forward to seeing your more videos. Cheers mate!🎉
Welcome to Chongqing! Chongqing is famous for its foggy weather, so don't be surprised. Have fun in Chongqing! I look forward to seeing you explore more cities in China.
The food you eat in Chongqing is also sold in Dublin, there are Chinese restaurants on D1 and D2, and when you come back, if you miss food, you can try it
Wow you guys are so brave to travel in Chongqing during the first few days of May. It’s definitely one of the busiest season there. I’m from Chongqing and brought my Chongqing SIM card to Canada. Every long public holidays I can still receive messages from the authority that says Chongqing local people please refrain from going out and leave the space to the tourist. 😂 however if you do travel during holidays. The local government would normally block the traffic on that beautiful bridge beside hongyadong and make it a pedestrian paradise😊 hope you enjoy your trip🎉
Maybe because I'm feeling homesick and national pride lately, I started watching videos of foreigners visiting China, and so far I like your videos the most because you are so friendly and tolerant, and have great personalities. I hope you have a great time in China! I especially like watching you two enjoying Chinese food!😄 I loved the local dry sausages 😍.
I truly enjoy your video and admire the positive attitude you two have towards new culture and have always been cheerful under all circumstances. Good luck on your future journeys and blessings🌺
7:39 it’s like a castle is because this place is originally the wall of the city 😂😂朝天门literally means the gate facing the heaven. Back in the time when the city is built in Song Dynasty, the order of the emperor come from the downstream of Yangtze River, the direction this gate is facing.
In fact, Chongqing's population of over 30 million encompasses the entire municipal administrative region, which is comparable in size to a small European country. The administrative region includes urban areas, satellite cities, countryside, and mountainous regions. The popluation of the administrative region of Chengdu (much smaller in area size in comparison to Chongqing) is around 22 million. Actually, the populations of the central urban regions of both Chongqing and Chengdu are around 15 million. These two cities are similar in terms of their urban areas and populations.
39:33 hello, just in case if you are still wondering what is the strange spicy thing, apparently these are some marinated radish😂 according to the sign written under that giant bowl
18:00 actually the pork bun and beef noodles are not Chongqing cuizine, they are from north west regions of China. You can find the same type of food in Xi'an, Lanzhou. Especially the pork bun is an adjusted version of typical Xi'an food, 肉夹馍. you can find similar ones but often without garlic and green pepper in Xi'an. For te crispy outside, you will find in 老潼关肉夹馍, a specially region near Xi'an and now have shopss across China. BTW, the noodles Naomi added eggs written in the signs.
Welcome to Chongqing .❤ I miss my families and friends after watching your video. It’s so nice to see that you enjoy the Special things from chongqing .❤
hello two mad explorers! Welcome to chongqing! I am a native of chongqing and how long are you planning to stay in chongqing? If you don’t mind, I can take you a city tour in the coming Sunday! And it’s definitely fun and all expenses are mine! Please reply if you are interested! Looking forward to your reply!
Hi guys, avoid Chinese New Year holiday in Jan/Feb, Labour Day holiday in May and National Day holiday in Oct if you want to avoid crowds. Having said that, the most festive and culturally vibrant period is also the CNY. It's hard to choose indeed. But not be upsat, China has so many festivals and events all over the year. Next one will be Dragon Boat Festival. You should come to Guangdong to experience it. It definitely won't disappoint you!
I hope that for your next trip to China, you can choose to visit the central major city - Changsha. You are also welcome to visit the surrounding small city of Yueyang. Located by Dongting Lake, there is a famous building called Yueyang Tower. The local delicacies such as freshwater fish and crayfish will definitely make your trip worthwhile!

重庆是比较有实力的城市，能够自己建造、改变生存环境。中国有些偏远、落后地区是没有经济能力改变生存环境的，国家项目就会出手，修铁路、公路、网路，是需要中央财政以及其他省市出钱、出人帮扶的。

@@bldomain Luke is actually from Ireland and Neomi is from Germany. Luke explained that most people (I think he mostly mean people from SE Asia) know Germany more than Ireland. So they just say Germany when people ask them where they are from. It's easier, he said.
他是蓝眼晴，应该是英格兰人，只是生活在爱尔兰，
the small spicy pieces in 39:00 are lotus roots or radish maybe hahaha
大头菜
At 37:10, what you have eaten is actually the "fried twisted dough", it is a famous local speciality.
You should also try Rou Jia Mo (Roger Moore) too, it's similar to the pork braised buns you tried, it's famous all over China but the one in Xi'an is the best 😊
The view would be much better if you went to Hongyatong at night. It would also be more spectacular if you went to the same square at the beginning of the video at night, as the light show along the river bank would make the view second to none. In general, Chongqing looks better at night than at day time owing to its landscape and foggy weather. I guess you guyes have already left Chongqing, otherwise I would recommend a few places a lot less noisy and more serene.
For those who are confused ,Cities are defined by various concepts.City proper concept is one of them.Tokyo is generally considered as largest city in the world,but according to city proper concept, Chongqing is the largest city proper in the world
With 30 million people in that Chongching, its a country. The whole Australia population in that city.
I feel so happy when I am watching your videos Cuz your videos show the realities of Chinese cities. To be honest, I couldn’t find many countries that make me feel safe, like you can hang out anywhere anytime and get many kinds of foods. So I just give you my first comment on RUclips and looking forward to seeing your more videos. Cheers mate!🎉
五一期间的重庆，肯定特别特别多的人😂
Hi. Bro, you are really friendly towards China. Today, I also started posting videos about Shanghai cuisine.
If you come to Shanghai, you can contact me and I will treat you to authentic Shanghai cuisine
Welcome to Chongqing! Chongqing is famous for its foggy weather, so don't be surprised. Have fun in Chongqing! I look forward to seeing you explore more cities in China.
Thank you! 😃
밝은 표정👍
맛있는 음식👍
멋진 풍경👍
The food you eat in Chongqing is also sold in Dublin, there are Chinese restaurants on D1 and D2, and when you come back, if you miss food, you can try it
Thank you 🙏
welcome to Chongqing! looks like you guys becoming more and more proficient in using chopsticks haha
Slowly learning! Hahaha
15:30 rou Jia mo, my favorite! Go to Xi An for it, not only terracotta😊
14:37 in Mandarin is called 肉夹馍 ròu jiā mó or to make you easy to remember just say it as "Roger Moore". It's traditional Chinese sandwich.
It's like New York Square on News Year's Eve. Crowds packed waiting for the ball to drop.
Haha, people mountain people sea, and the sea is boiling.
Surprisingly Naomi uses chopsticks very well.
Thanks for the video!
Wow you guys are so brave to travel in Chongqing during the first few days of May. It’s definitely one of the busiest season there. I’m from Chongqing and brought my Chongqing SIM card to Canada. Every long public holidays I can still receive messages from the authority that says Chongqing local people please refrain from going out and leave the space to the tourist. 😂 however if you do travel during holidays. The local government would normally block the traffic on that beautiful bridge beside hongyadong and make it a pedestrian paradise😊 hope you enjoy your trip🎉
欢迎来玩，不过5.1劳动节人特别多，下次可以避开高人流，佩服5:00大妈的跨服强聊哈哈哈
Maybe because I'm feeling homesick and national pride lately, I started watching videos of foreigners visiting China, and so far I like your videos the most because you are so friendly and tolerant, and have great personalities. I hope you have a great time in China! I especially like watching you two enjoying Chinese food!😄 I loved the local dry sausages 😍.
@liuliu6370: You'd like @BlondieInChina, she gets all around China
Rou Jia Mo is a very tasty and filling snack .... you can try Luckin coffee, jiangxiang Latte (mild alcohol latte)
super detail presentation! love it! I've been there, but not that detail......lol..... I can't stop watching!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
You should contact Alex of Reporterfy Media. Alex,Canadian living in Chongqing with his wife.
Luke eating "Roger Moore". Btw, love to watch Luke's reaction when he eats.
I truly enjoy your video and admire the positive attitude you two have towards new culture and have always been cheerful under all circumstances. Good luck on your future journeys and blessings🌺
7:39 it’s like a castle is because this place is originally the wall of the city 😂😂朝天门literally means the gate facing the heaven. Back in the time when the city is built in Song Dynasty, the order of the emperor come from the downstream of Yangtze River, the direction this gate is facing.
Loved this video ❤so many people 😮wow. Really interesting to watch ❤
amazing...there is no shortage of food everywhere you go in this city...
Welcome to visit China, have fun, and hope you can come to Taiyuan, Shanxi to experience the local food.
In fact, Chongqing's population of over 30 million encompasses the entire municipal administrative region, which is comparable in size to a small European country. The administrative region includes urban areas, satellite cities, countryside, and mountainous regions. The popluation of the administrative region of Chengdu (much smaller in area size in comparison to Chongqing) is around 22 million. Actually, the populations of the central urban regions of both Chongqing and Chengdu are around 15 million. These two cities are similar in terms of their urban areas and populations.
Big Australia population is 30 million. The whole Australia in Chongqing.
at 44:19, it is sweet dried persimmon
Night life in Chongqing episode when? Looking forward to it.
There are several tourist attractions. hongya cave, Liziba station, suspension bridge, 22 floor building.
That savory snack is called’ Ma Hua’
If you know it, it’s like a Mexican sweet snack called churro.
Basically it’s fried dough.
39:33 hello, just in case if you are still wondering what is the strange spicy thing, apparently these are some marinated radish😂 according to the sign written under that giant bowl
18:00 actually the pork bun and beef noodles are not Chongqing cuizine, they are from north west regions of China. You can find the same type of food in Xi'an, Lanzhou. Especially the pork bun is an adjusted version of typical Xi'an food, 肉夹馍. you can find similar ones but often without garlic and green pepper in Xi'an. For te crispy outside, you will find in 老潼关肉夹馍, a specially region near Xi'an and now have shopss across China. BTW, the noodles Naomi added eggs written in the signs.
45:15 Naomi knows it very well!
Welcome to Chongqing .❤ I miss my families and friends after watching your video. It’s so nice to see that you enjoy the Special things from chongqing .❤
It's always a good day when we can watch you both explore China 😊
Welcome to my hometown CHONGQING, wish you enjoy and have a wonderful time 🎉
The thing you thought was mushroom is one of Sichuan pickles, looks like to be the trunk bits from the mustard greens
hello two mad explorers! Welcome to chongqing! I am a native of chongqing and how long are you planning to stay in chongqing? If you don’t mind, I can take you a city tour in the coming Sunday! And it’s definitely fun and all expenses are mine! Please reply if you are interested! Looking forward to your reply!
Hi guys, avoid Chinese New Year holiday in Jan/Feb, Labour Day holiday in May and National Day holiday in Oct if you want to avoid crowds. Having said that, the most festive and culturally vibrant period is also the CNY. It's hard to choose indeed. But not be upsat, China has so many festivals and events all over the year. Next one will be Dragon Boat Festival. You should come to Guangdong to experience it. It definitely won't disappoint you!
I'm so hungry to see you guys eating, I must go to Chongqing, must.
I’m glad that I visited this city 😍 the city is so beautiful 😍😍
I hope that for your next trip to China, you can choose to visit the central major city - Changsha. You are also welcome to visit the surrounding small city of Yueyang. Located by Dongting Lake, there is a famous building called Yueyang Tower. The local delicacies such as freshwater fish and crayfish will definitely make your trip worthwhile!
