We had the most amazing time in China and share our experience with the world. Media and news representations don't always capture the reality, emphasizing the importance of firsthand exploration. We highly recommend everyone to visit atleast once to experience the rich culture, savor the cuisine, and witness the country for what it truly is ❤
Collecting data independently by yourself, by your own eyes, with your own first hand experience is the best way to de-brainwashing anti-China propaganda by western media! Good for you!
Glad you came to see China yourself. I've lived here for many years, and been visiting for even longer. Pretty much all of the major cities throughout China are as clean, easy and safe as Shanghai.
You state your experience is only based on Shanghai, take it from a US expat in China for 14 years. It's the same throughout China, I have been west to east and north to south. It's an amazing country. So glad you two enjoyed and was able to see the real China and not the fake western media version.
I totally agree with you, I have visited much of China while visiting on the 60 day visa I can get in San Francisco and have returned over 10 times. I can't wait to resume again this April and will live in Shanghai for the duration of my stay. I hope and pray that the western countries can let China live in peace and stop the hateful rhetoric. Thank you for this thoughtful reply to an honest and lovely reply to this fantastic vlog.😀
@@but_at_what_cost I must correct you, I have been in Guangxi and other very poor Provinces, visited some of the most poorest areas in China. My wife is from a very tiny village in Guangxi. On my first visit to her village I was the first white person to ever visit the village, the entire village put a dinner on in my honor. My Anthony Bourdain moment. Sure these people are poor, but they all have something to eat. I love visiting these areas, in my opinion these are the true Chinese people, the most inviting and hardest working people I have met any where in the world.
Good morning too. I have this encountered and would like to share. I have met a young couple in Thailand recently. They were from US and they were traveling from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and then to Cambodia and Vietnam and before going back to US. We have happened to have a casual friendly conversation and I have asked them since they are so near to China, why not go to China just for a few days to see China. I told them China is very interesting, But I was surprised of what they told me. They said according to all their media reports in US and advice by their government and many people. They were advice and told not to travel to China. Even their parents don't allow them to go to China. They were told China is not a safe country to travel. Very dirty, poor rundown infrastructures, poor transportation system, polluted, homeless people are everywhere waiting to rob tourists are common even in broad daylight. Chances of been detained for no reason by the Communist is very high. Because China is an authoritarian state and all foreign visitors are monitored by thousands of cameras everywhere, every minute where foreign visitors go. Foreign visitors from western countries can be detained for months or even years for no reason. All these is what they know about China. The couple is like below 25 years of age and already so badly brainwashed by their government and controlled media. This is really sad.
Sad state of affairs. The thing with free media is that they are controlled by interest groups that ends up controlling the population with their ulterior motives.
it's funny that people ask the travelers/vloggers whether they are paid by the Chinese government to shoot the videos, while it's a known fact that the USA government and media have spent tons of money and effort spreading false rumors, fake news, and hatred towards China.😂😂
Mate, I was told the same thing here in Australia (but to be honest, Australia is USA puppet and play thing). But I was pleasantly surprised when I went to China. It was NOTHING like the lies we've been told back home. I loved the country, the people, their freedom, the total respect their government have for all its citizens to give them a good Middle Class life style. All their Civic Infrastructures and Civic Services were the best and they gave it to all. That's the way a government should be ... not just pouring in Tax Payers money into Corporations that have been conditioned to be extremely wasteful because its NOT their money.
White Aussie male here. Went to China and visited many cities. I never felt so safe being in a Country. I could go anywhere, any time of the day, leave my things on a table and order my food, and my things were still there. I have China's Police help me, and walked me, to the nearest public toilet at a mall (they carry no guns and they are Civic Police, not Militia Police like in USA). The people were so friendly, and many bailed me out when I had communication issues (I know very little Mandarin). The Cities in China are clean and their transportation system is out of this world. I could not get over how quiet the traffic in the cities were (in comparison to Western Cities traffic) because they have a lot of Electric Cars, compared to our Combustion Cars. Went to USA and visited many cities. I was constantly concerned. I was warned by many not to go to certain suburbs in the Cities. The Cities were dirty. Too many obese and angry people, and they carry guns (40,000 gun related deaths EVERY YEAR in USA, virtually zero gun related deaths EVERY YEAR in all other developed countries in the world). Their Police wear military utility belts full of arsenals. I would not venture out of any city after midnight. I saw too many people living in the streets and neglected. Their Civic Infrastructures and Civic Services needed a lot of repairs/replacements or addition constructions were required. USA is very much geared towards the good life of the Billionaires (1% own 90% of the Country's wealth). China is very much geared towards supplying a good Middle Class life style for ALL its citizens - and they still have more BILLIONAIRES living in China than USA. Beijing has more billionaires living there than those in New York City. Also, out of the top 10 cities where billionaires choose to live, 6 are in China, and only 2 are in USA.
Interestingly, in 1993, 5000 villagers in two villages in Hunan Province of China fought a small battle, using standard guns, homemade guns, mortars, homemade explosives, grenades, and detonators. If the army had not been sent to disperse the incident, it would have resulted in the largest knife fight death since the founding of New China, so China began a total ban on the use of firearms. In that battle, both villages had veterans leading the fight, using infantry 3.3 tactics, even loading carts and oxcarts with explosives, using alternative, coordinated tactics of walking tanks, digging trenches, building mortar positions, doing all the things war does, a crazy mob.
@@ocm0104 I also forgot an important thing, there are currently about 18 million reservists in China who can take up arms again as active soldiers with simple training, and if China did not ban the use of guns, China would probably have the highest number of gun killings in the world.
Colombian living in Guangzhou here. I feel so sorry for all the prejudices and misconceptions people have about China that are actually a reflection of what’s really happening in their own countries. I kindly suggest you for your next trip to China to visit Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Hong Kong which are very close to each other. And my suggestion for everyone out there is: TURN OFF CORPORATE MEDIA!
@@sunkissedbucketlist I noticed someone else also recommended Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Please visit those two cities next. There's good reasons why a few people are telling you not to go to Shenzhen. Go, it'll surprisingly impress you and you'll also learn what the real China is fast becoming. Visit the subway station in Shenzhen as well, you can make a whole video about it too.
Great recommendations! The Guangdong province is the best place to start when visiting China for the first time. No culture shock and no language barrier.
As a Chinese living in Australia for about 15 yrs, I've now already given up to convince people here around me that China is actually not that bad... They just don't really believe me and it's their loss anyway 😅
Same, I’ve liven in Sweden since 89 and people here refuse to give up the idea that China is the big bad bogeyman. I don’t care about educating people anymore.
@@npc2480 "Pressure on Chinese education" only because its too populous, you also get benefits from the government studying university from abroad(easier too)
the bad rap china gets is totally undeserved. I had the same preconceived notions when I visited in 2018, also based on US media. I was blown away when I got there, because it wasn't anything like what I heard/thought. since then, I've taken everything I hear about foreign people/places with a huge amount of skepticism.
The real reason the West doesn't want people going to China is because they don't want people to realise how far ahead and more civilised, safe and wealthy compared to the West. As this will cause the people to question their own government and their motives. It really is quite sad and evil what western governments do to their own people through manipulation and brainwashing let alone other people in foreign countries.
I know many foreigners who sincerely feel sorry for Chinese people, because they are so 'suppressed'. This is very sad situation, and it gives you a glimpse of how powerful the impact of a false narrative can be.
So true! I didn't realize the power of propaganda until I move to the West, one shocking thing is that I found western media, like BBC, CNN, Fox, Sky news, are lying nearly all the time about country, not just China, they don't like, and on contrast, China official media don't lie, if they dont want you to know something, they wont talk about it, but they dont lie! And sometimes i think they are too factual that they sound boring.
The biggest propaganda joke of the century , Chinese people need to be rescued from their government !!!😮😮 Funny , they were not saying that before 1949 ! When the imperialist powers carved the country up into foreign concessions and treated Chinese people as second class citizens in their own country ! The CPC inherited a broken , war torn , starving and poor country and in 75 years turned the country into a superpower , where Chinese people can hold their heads up high again and proudly look the world in the eye ...they certainly do not need the sympathy of these white supremacist social warriors with their fake concern for the "oppression" of the Chinese people ...the Chinese people know who really works for the Chinese nation and its their government not some foreign white saviour justice warrior ! Considering the state of some of the western nations maybe these justice warriors should worry about who really their own governments work for ? 😂😂
@@wyz9815 @therealdeal2163 Hi there, people could not see your replies, unless they chose 'sorted by time' if you log out and can not see your own reply, then we could not either. Consider removing all those big names and sensitive words and try again.
@@wyz9815this is what I tell people, they hide things yes, but they don’t lie. I’m a Taiwanese living in China and got thru the Covid times in China. A lot of people were asking me about the situation in China that I made it a mission to compare news East and West as well as see it from my own eyes and ask real Chinese people friends and family. I was surprised finding out almost everyone knows their government sugar coats things or hide certain news and yes some are factually too boring, but what I found shocking was how much the western media blatantly manipulates and lies and how much their viewers believe in these manipulation and lies because they live in a “news free, democratic society”.
From Singapore and thought my country was one of the, if not the most advanced, in Asia. Worked and lived in Shanghai for 5 years. The speed with which they advance, the IT, the Fintech, the logistics, the convenience, the metropolis with old world charm, the soul. Granted, they have some faults here and there, but it's part of the magic. Miss it like crazy.
Still smiling after leaving China! It's a great sign. Happy New year guys! As long as you are saying nice, but true things about China. Then, the China haters won't stop coming for you guys.
Not really right. I mean haters will always be haters and they will still stubbornly choose to believe what they've always been told to believe in even if you lay the truths out in front of their bloody own eyes. I bet you'll still some comments like "wumao", "genocide in Xinjiang", "free Tibet, free East Turkestan", yet for these same people so concerned about Muslims' welfare, you didn't hear them about "free Palestine! while people there are dying by the tens of thousands right on their silver screen and still ongoing. Hypocrites, double standards! Anyway I don't think the Chinese or the Govt are overly concerned about how they are perceived abroad or they've gone out on a charm offensive to correct those misconceptions. Yes, you see some locals putting out RUclips or Tiktok posts to address those misconceptions but they are still largely in the minority that really bother to do so. The rest just get on with life, the free entertainment they get to watch over the Great Firewall via VPN about memes on Americans' stupidity and ignorance (I think Europeans diss Americans the most despite the familial relationships) or the silly political manoeuvres between Democrats and Republicans, etc... Lol...
trust me , Other city is no different regarding openess and other social standard. China is actually more open than some so called domocracy countries, i know it is hard to believe it because of what western media describe China
Yes, check out the so called "freedom and democracy" in the US, in India, in France, etc. "Freedom and democracy " is not only in the every 4/5 years act of voting. It also includes how well the government response to the citizens welfare and aspiration.
Imagine a country that has no freedom of the press accusing other countries' media of being biased. A country has strong censorship accusing others of only seeing one side of the story. Pretty ironic
I'm Malaysian Chinese, I read in both English and Chinese, media from both sides are very different. Education too. I study world history and geography in school, while in the west, they focus on the country or region. This gives young people very different perspectives about the world. Sometimes, I have to reconsider what does it really mean by freedom. Freedom to knowledge and rights to truth are what we need too, don't they?
I can't do shit here in California USA without a license and or a permit, freedom to criticize my president to my resident is not one of my priority needs.
@@stvdmc2011 same in China too, I mean someone can't do shit without a license and a permit too, US is way more better than China imo literally, at least if someone not satisfied with their salaries he/she is allowed to complaint even strike, even negotiate to their employers ,those not the case for China
@@stvdmc2011, In China I can go to bar and drink to 2:00am morning and walk 30 minutes to my hotel. But I can't and won't do the same in US city. So, what is real freedom?
Every country has its own way of living. For me as a normal citizen, I do not need any gun or drugs. Camera is good for me as I don't commit any crimes. Thefts may feel differently but I feel safe with those cameras. In certain countries you have freedom for drugs, guns, etc and social media telling lies. In China, we have freedom to really enjoy our lives walking around at night without worrying about our safety in most places. It's okay, just we are different and we have to respect each other.
Classic walking around at night shite chat. Guns in Switzerland and they all happily walk around at night. Most places people walk around happily at night in virtually every country . Bullshiters you lot. Guns are to fight against government tyranny . Maybe they were needed during Mao’s time.
In China you have freedom to be a modern day slave, a child kidnapper, an educational camp attendee, a malnourished citizen(150 million). Where is Peng Shuai?
I agree that the camera is good to curb crimes. I wish my country had more cameras installed on the streets. We had too many snatch theft cases and house broken-in cases here. If you are lucky then there are good samaritans coming together to help you but never the police! 😅
Your evaluation of China is so good! thank you all! Chinese society is developing too fast, and there are still many aspects that need time to change! We sincerely welcome you to visit us again. We don’t mind if you say something bad as long as it’s true.
Been living in China for 13 years and never once I felt monitored or unsafe.. Been everywhere in China , from their vast grassland and desert cities to their rainforest, mountainous and snowy cities.. Each city or perhaps province will totally give you different experience in terms of culinary cuisines and local culture not to mention the cities that are in the middle of nature.. Indeed a beautiful country to live in and I hope everyone in the world will have the chance or open minded enough to experience China firsthand. SUGGESTION: Do a proper tourist visa next time to you can visit a lot more. Beijing- Xian-Chengdu (Where I live now)- Chonqing, Yangshuo, Guilin, Dali , Lijiang and Shangrila. From Beijing you will be heading down to south west China. Do the last 5 cities in the list maybe in your last 2 weeks in China. I recommend a month of visit but that is really tight already with the given cities above. :) This will totally cover everything from different culture, tradation, nature and cuisine. Have fun with your travels.
Almost all the videos made by people who either live in China or have visited China are, like yours, very positive about the country. The majority of negative comments about China seem to be coming from people who have never been there.
In Los Angeles for the last 50 years and our crime rate is going through the roof! We don’t go out much after dark just to be safe. We are basically hostages surrounded by homeless, robbers, and thieves. Our smart voters decided that one can steal or rob up to $900 without consequences, stupidity has no boarders. Another reason not to go out after work is the traffic. It takes 2 hrs to go 20 miles during rush hours and it is now from 0600-1900. Public transport is a joke and even more unsafe. Our liberal politicians came up with the bright idea of letting the homeless sleep on our metro trains at night! The smell of urine saturates downtown Los Angeles and our metro. America the beautiful and the land of the free. One can argue we don’t have human rights anymore. The right to feel safe, the right to go out at night, the right to have a stroll in the park, the right to get to a destination at a reasonable time, and worse of all, our politicians rather spend our taxpayers $ on foreigners instead of better the lives of citizens and legal residents. We Americans are going the ways of the Romans, never conquered but declined from within.
You are a nice couple and you confirm what I hear from other bloggers, that China is the best country in the world to visit or work in. Safe, friendly helpful people, clean, good food and services at affordable prices. Look forward to your next China visit. I am old aged person from Australia and cannot travel myself. I fell in love with China and am very angry how people get manipulated in western countries to hate China as many of your questions show.
So brainless to think any government following everyone, despite the fact they have no idea how many manpower, money and energy involved in such activity and why should any government spend huge time and money follow people aimlessly, they are all narcissists, thinking they are somebody, that government need to follow them, or maybe they are criminal or wanted person who can cause big damage to the society, so they have been living in horror of being followed by the police and they project such mind onto Chinese🤣
Xmas is actually cancelled in the West, it’s so scary/awkward to say “merry Christmas “ now as they told us it may offend people. People now say happy holidays instead.
In any country in this world where you can't even say Merry xmas or happy chinese new year or happy diwali or anything like that then you know you should get the f out of that country Asap.
I'm Chinese, and I'm really grateful that you come to visit China and introduce a real China to the world. It truly touches me that more people are getting to know, understand, and love my country. China will always welcome you!
A little travel advice, If you're interested in seeing the chinese advancements and history: If you want to explore the 3000 years of history, go to Xi'an. If you want to explore the 1000 years of history, go to Beijing. If you want to explore the last 100 years of China going from colonization to modernization, go to Shanghai. If you want to see modern blade-runner-like infrastructure and seemingly impossible urban planning done in the last 40 years, go to Chongqin. If you want to see the future, go to Shenzhen. That's a very very rough and overall thing to say, and If we add the different landscapes and biomes that China offers, there would be no end to the list. And what's the best thing of all of that? That the whole China has first class safety no matter where you go, so there's nothing like "being in the wrong place at the wrong time" kind of bs, and you are able to freely explore at ease.
Also visit Xinjiang, Tibet and Yunnan, inner Mongolia, to see how minority people living in China, to see differrnt vibe there than other area in China, see how happy their lives are, see more dances and singing in those places😊, and take high speed train in Tibet!
@@agoodchow Hangzhou is a famous tourist city in China, an important science and technology town, with very beautiful scenery and many delicious foods.
You guys are my favorite bloggers.You are able to experience a country with your own eyes and for us to be able to break through our own prejudices, travelling with you has been an eye-opener for me, it's been amazing.Finally, wish you a better and better year in 2024! Have fun!❤❤❤
Because we are safe here, citizens treat each other with sincerity and have nothing to hide. Therefore, everyone does not have to worry about their behavior being recorded or videotaped. Even if bad behavior is publicized, everyone is ready to condemn those bad behaviors. It’s the behavior rather than the photographer. Of course, our country is not perfect. If someone uses a one-sided lens and malicious lies to smear us, that will make us feel disgusted. We like to evaluate and introduce our country realistically, thank you for your neutrality.
You guys are very open minded people. Unlike some other south eastern countries that mostly develop the capital cities, China's many other cities are also well developed. For next trip, suggest you to go to Chongqing and Chengdu in the south west, Shenzhen, Guangzhou in Guangdong province, and Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing in the east (near Shanghai). Now China issues two weeks free entry visa to a few European countries and Malaysia after Singapore has this for a while, unfortunately, not to UK yet.
If your next destination is Beijing, I would like to remind you to pay attention to some things. Beijing is the political center of China, different from Shanghai. The security measures in the Tiananmen Square and Chang'an Street area are stricter here. Some places require one day's advance application to enter, and some scenic spots may close on Monday or Tuesday. It is necessary to check relevant websites in advance to understand the situation. Many video creators come to Beijing without choosing the most representative place, wasting time in this huge city. I am surprised that they don't go to the Forbidden City and Summer Palace when they come to Beijing. This is the territory of the emperor and the representative of Beijing. If you want to learn about old Beijing, you can take a walk along the Shichahai area. In addition, the more modern place is Sanlitun. I didn't mention the Great Wall, I thought you were definitely going. The Badaling Great Wall and Jinshanling Great Wall are my recommendations. The first one is more famous, but going there during holidays would be a disaster as there are too many people!
@@sunkissedbucketlist allow me to add a few points. i think application isn't that accurate a word, it's actually called reservation coz no such "applications" have ever been denied (unless you are a known terrorist of course), at least not in my knowledge. you need to type in your ID or passport NO. on the official website to make the reservations, and if it's important holidays you'll probably need to reserve several days in advance because people all over the city would also like to visit. there's a maximum head count allowed for each of these attractions usually, since they are very ancient and fragile. i'm a local beijinger, if you need any tips just let me know. I speak a bit of english and traveled extensively around the city myself.
“Were you being followed?” Sorry I laughed 😂 I’m a frequent traveler and I have to say that I feel way safer when I go to mainland China for leisure or business than when I go to European countries! And I don’t visit the US… not an offense to the Americans but to the US government. My American friends have left absolutely speechless with the safety issues in their own country. Love your videos!! ❤ you didn’t make China “look good” but you revealed the everyday life in China 👍🏻
You experienced a China that is different from what we heard on TV here in the west ! I would love to see your trip back to China ! Thank you for sharing
I wanna add a small extra thing on cleanliness: I was hanging out with my friends in a shopping mall in China (Zhejiang), and when I went to the restroom I accidentally splashed water on the floor, a cleaner immediately showed up and cleaned it for me, which was really nice. I'm sure it was a coincidence maybe I was there exactly at the time when it was that cleaner's shift, but the restrooms in the mall were always super clean. Also the cleaners are mostly elderly men/women, it was nice seeing these people who could've been financially vulnerable in other countries are offered doable jobs. They get a decent income to afford housing/food/savings, the restrooms are clean, customers are happy to come and spend, a win win situation.
I got comments on my recent video about Shanghai during Christmas saying I work for the government, and I'm an actor 😩 I was just making a video doing things I enjoy, not sure why people say stuff like that
For people that believed that China banned Christmas, I'd start questioning where you got that information and question all the content you've learned, read, or watched from there. Some are true but the great thing about propaganda is you mix it in with the truth so it makes it more difficult to see through the bs.
Happy New Year 2024 you two :) I already miss your China content videos... Though I could watch your videos on rerun haha .... You two bring so much positive energy and vibes...
I live in a small town in the North of England, and I decided to count the amount of CCTV cameras whilst walking through the shopping area, I got about 200 yards and had counted 12. I'd never noticed how many there were before, simply because I hadn't paid any attention to them. So people getting bothered by cameras in China probably need to start paying attention to the amount of security cameras in their own location, when you do you realise there are loads everywhere, even on ATMs. The bulk of the cameras in China cover the roads for traffic violations, but the media fails to mention this.
The cameras are mainly used to monitor mischiefs and crimes. If someone believes he is being monitored by the authority all the time then he must be kidding himself. There would not be enough officers eyeing over a billion people all the time.
i'm from canada and have been in china for few times.... never feel unsafe and followed! I never need to worry about any pickpocket. food is amazing and cheap! i wish i can stay there longer!
Thank you very much for making this video to clarify some of the common negative comments from the Western people. Hope you can clarify and explain more of these with your family, your friends and your colleagues after you have flown back to your country. I know this is not an easy task, given how biased and manipulative the Western mainstream media currently are, but every effort counts! Thank you!!
You guys have a great outlook on life. Great review from the sights, sounds, food and capord with a comprehensive overall general impression impression , welll done.. ps you guys should enter the cutest couple on RUclips contest.
your video is so meaningful and positive, wish you have a good time when you come to china again! it is a good way to show the culture and create the peace rather than some fake news would lead to conflict and misunderstanding
I prefer cctv everywhere,less crimes n feel safe for me wherever I go as long as is not in the privacy of my home,Those who dislike cctv they are potential to be. Criminals.
Thanks for putting the cameras and police issue in perspective. If some tourists complain about this, they are being ungrateful and unappreciative because they don't have to worry about being pickpocketed, robbed, harassed, or worse during their stay. This is not the case in so many other places, like India, the US and Europe. About your next China trip, please go to Chongqing, often called the 'Cyberpunk' capital of China. It seems like the true NYC of China: ultramodern and fast-paced, but also gritty with a grassroots energy and creativity.
Malaysian here just back from Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Ironically, crossing over to Shenzhen from Hong Kong felt very liberating. It was beautiful, less hectic, calmer, everything was so affordable. Walked around the streets at 3am and it felt super safe. We have our own e-wallet that is compatible with Alipay so that was extremely convenient. The only thing I really disliked was the public spitting 😂.
yes, felt the same, Shenzhen are better than Hong Kong in so many ways that really counts, that's why more are crossing over to China than the otherway around. Although there has been a huge improvement in regard to public spitting its still an issue for a minority of the population, I think it will be less of a problem as time goes by. Public smoking was a huge issue last time around this time it was not an issue.
the biggest barrier for foreigners travel in China is the language, if there's one app can solve the conversations, you guys can reach to breathtaking views in China. China has too many good sites to offer. welcome again!
Glad to see you guys had a great time in Shanghai! Beijing is definitely a must visit city for its rich cultural places such as palace museum, temple of heaven, the great wall and so on. if you have more time, I'd really recommend Yangshuo, Guilin in Guangxi province which has a spectacular nature landscape of Karst and that's my No.1 place to visit in China.
Thank you for your honest comments. Seeing for yourself is better than media propaganda. Those media outlets might not have even been to China themselves and yet they're being paid to spread their message. Shanghai is quite populated, and especially during Chinese holidays, there are many tourists from other parts of China in Shanghai. At such times, the locals in Shanghai prefer to stay at home rather than visit tourist spots. :) Moreover, if you've experienced the crowdedness of the Subway Lines 1 and 2 during peak commuting hours, you'll have a whole new feeling. Haha.
Christmas is not an official holiday in China, so we do not have a "celebration" on that day. But in cities like Shanghai, where there are a lot of international travelers, you will see Christmas decorations or promotions in the shopping mall. 😊
@@peanut0brain In Tibet, foreigners need a local tour guide to travel and visit remote places between cities, but in the cities they can roam around independently.
Saw this video and subscribed after scanning your previous ones. Will be watching them slowly one by one. Australia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, The Philippines, China, Pakistan, Nepal, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia,... So many interesting videos. Thanks and wishing you a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2024. Pls keep the videos coming.
Been to China for a month....I enjoyed the places I've visited, was in Beijing and also Shanghai. Of course Guangchou alot cause I was working in Macau for a year. Very safe. Public transport extremely cheap. Of course I speak Mandarin and 4 other Chinese dialects since I was raised in Malaysia so it was even much easier for me to communicate with the people. Cameras everywhere but not to watch where I was going just for safety. So China extremely safe...need not worry about negative comments. Have more fun...if you are visiting Beijing, and you wanna visit Forbidden city, Summer Palace and the Great Wall, make sure you try to be there very early morning . You really don't wanna be there when the tour buses arrive. Haha! I was the the first person to walk in the Forbidden city(because I make sure I queue up at the ticket counter at very early) . So nice! when I can enjoy with very little tourists around
Due to the large number of tourists, attractions such as the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square need to make reservations on the APP in advance, and tickets cannot be purchased at the ticket office on the spot. Your ID will be checked when entering the tour, so be sure to bring it with you.
Was there a few years ago, no need advance booking... well I am sure there are more visitors now but anyway if really need to book then try to book the opening time for Forbidden City...still less tourists ,after 9.00 am that is when the tour buses comes in@@glw238
Very very looking forward to your new series of Tours in China. Chong qing,Hang zhou,Xia men,Nan jing,Suzhou,Shen zhen,Cheng du,Bei jing are all very famous tourist cities.
if you have roaming from your cell phone company, you will have no problem accessing google in China. I bought an international pass from T-mobile (US), and I did not have to use VPN when I went to Shanghai. I simply use my phone and my phone's hot spot for my laptop.
To be frank, I want to be paid by China government promote China (only based on facts), get a permanent residency visa so that I can live in China. There are so much negativity about China in western media include our own local English newspapers, though less critical, that some of my fellow Singaporean who are ethnic Chinese (like me) believe the CCTVs are meant for monitoring people’s activities for social credit system because China is a communist country. I clarified with my China colleagues they told they have financial credit system (for finance loan application purposes) not the social credit system claimed by western media.
I don't want to touch on politics on a travel vlog but here it goes. The negative opinions or views on China was propagated, bombarded perpetually by western mass media paid by their govt, political parties for geopolitical reasons and political gains. These always intensify especially whenever elections are near and self interest politicians desperately trying to cling to their positions as long as they can. For these reasons, these stories by the western mass media are always distorted and far from the truth. Hence, the negative perceptions are widespread in the west but never in the east. Seeing is believing. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy yourself and don't let negative thoughts fool or distract you from your destiny in life. Cheers.
for the 144-hour transit visa in Shanghai, people need a flight ticket from country A to Shanghai, Shanghai to Country B; and are only allowed to travel in Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu.
Just a reminder, there are at least 5 provinces in China as warm as Vietnam, such as Guangxi province, Guangdong province, hainan provinces, even Fujian province etc . Next time in the winter you can visit those southern provinces
As a Chinese l've been living cashlessly for like what, 10 years now maybe. My job often requires me to travel to different cities for a week or 2, several times a year. Sometimes when I was packing my wife would put couple banknotes inside the inner pocket of my backpack, "just for emergency". I never stopped her, who knows, could be possible like the phone is dead or WIFI is out. For 10 years I never got chace to spend those emergency notes, and yesterday when I checked, WOW, I'm rich!🤑🤑🤑
I love Shanghai it’s the most amazing place I’ve visited Been there twice I traveled the main cities such Beijing Guangzhou and Shenzan and also visited Chengdu Lots of amazing places to visit but since watching your blog I need to go back to Shanghai it’s beautiful and amazing Enjoy your travels 🇿🇦
Christmas is not a traditional holiday, but many do take paat in the festivities and Christians are free to celebrate.,,,Yes there are millions of Christians and Catholics., This is for those who have never traveled overseas. Don't believe BBC, Guardian, or Times of London.
If you come to Beijing and plan to visit some historical sites or museums, you will most likely need to make reservations online in advance, such as the Forbidden City.😀
If Chinese government is smart, it should open the country more to the ordinary people of the world, embrace the world. This would be the best propaganda machine of all.
The world's English-language media is controlled by the United States. Many people are willing to believe the media and are unwilling to come to China. tiktok can let some people see the truth. But now it is also suppressed by the United States.
China has always been open to foreign tourists, It is the West trying to stop people from visiting China, fearing people would finding out Western media are the ones who are lying and waving propaganda machine the most.
The Chinese government runs the country for the Chinese people not for what foreigners think ....if you or your MSM wants to slag off china, so be it, China doesn't care if it's done within your own country ....nobody is restricted to enter china if the proper rules are obeyed , as long as your visit is benign and you are not a criminal ...if you come to China to make trouble or to attack China's security or sovereignty then yes the government will clamp down on you. If you come as a tourist to enjoy the sights and food , china will welcome you...that is the plain truth of the matter.
Next time when you enter China in Shanghai with 144h transit visa, you can go to Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang province with ease. There are so many things to eat or to do in the Yangtze River delta area which includes these two provinces and Shanghai. So sad to see that you haven’t got to eat much local cuisine in Shanghai. Shanghai is probably the best in the diversity of food, and it has the best food quality. If you find the right place, you can eat well with very little budget. Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu, has the best roast duck. Suzhou, a very major city near Shanghai, has the best noodle. All these cities can be reached via high speed train from Shanghai. If you need to know where to eat, I can provide you guys a list of restaurants you can go in these three cities. Hope you guys can come back this year!❤❤❤Love from China!
As an Australian, I started working in China in 2004 and flew in and out for a couple of years before finally moving to Shanghai. After another few years I married a Chinese lady in 2012 and worked for another 2 years before taking a role in Dallas TX, USA. Getting an apartment at 1200 Main St, seemed like a great idea as we had previously been living in Chaoyang. It was like going back in time moving to Dallas. Overt racism towards my wife, druggies panhandling on every corner and we were limited to a 2 block radius from the apartment by our landlord if we wanted to stay safe. I needed to go to a police station one day and they wouldn’t even let me in the $%^&ing door. In China, the Police were 100 times more professional. We could not wait to get back to the Middle Kingdom. PS. The ONLY danger for men going to work in China is the high probability of catching Yellow Fever.
So happy to get your objective views about China! For those who only get distorted news coverage from the wrong mediums, my suggestion is go and get a ticket to China now!
The law of resistance. What you resist persists. Whatever you don't like will keep showing up in your life. This is the main reason life can seem so baffling and uncontrollable
Thank you guys for thr recap. Had a lot of fun traveling with you through Shanghai! Cant wait for the next China destination. May I add Xian, Dalian, Nanking, Chengdu and Guilin to your list as well!
If you visit Beijing, make sure you visit the Yuanmingyuan(the old summer palace), once the most spectacular royal palace in China. Victor Hugo also wrote a letter dedicated to it.
The cameras equipped by China🇨🇳 are used to protect the law-abiding citizens and to maintain social stability and harmony and other security management work in public places!❤
You guys are so cute! Glad you enjoyed yourselves! You guys have so much energy! So much to see, I'd be exhausted after the second day (it would be a wasted trip)! Lucky, you, being young & all!
Thanks guys, for shutting up all those ignorant armchair critics with their silly questions and perceptions on China. Keep on enjoying yourselves and debunking any further China hating questions and disinformation. 🎉❤🎉
Thanks for your amazing, trip to China videos, we shared your excitement in this Wonderful country,which moves forward all the time, in a very Positive way brilliant, you make a fantastic team, Happy 2024.🎉
Let’s count the population. There are more than 25 million people in Shanghai, including the floating population and more than 30 million people. It is normal for cameras to be densely populated. New York and London are also cities with more than 10 million people. The cameras are also densely populated. These cameras can record the crime process at any time and quickly identify criminals. The more densely populated the place, the more important it is to ensure people's safety. The West never talks about its own problems, it just wants to discredit China as a surveillance state. When it comes to surveillance and eavesdropping, the United States is No. 1. You rarely see cameras in small cities or suburbs in China. So I say that the purpose of the Western media is to make you think that it is a surveillance authoritarian country that is unwilling to let you go. However, when you actually step into China, all its lies are shattered. Yes, China has BBC CNN reporters who have been living in China. China, but their daily task is to collect less than 1% of emergencies. Even if 99% of the city is very good, they will look for the garbage dumps of the city like flies, or go to places where few people visit. Go looking for abandoned villages in the mountains. If you can't find them, they will find actors to play them. This is not the first time CNN has done this. I have seen their routines for a long time. At the same time, I also warn everyone to beware of these black media. Countries are walking around wantonly. For example, the last turmoil in France was basically not shown in the Western mainstream media. All beautiful pictures and videos were shown. However, on TikTok, which is watched by hundreds of millions of people, they are afraid that people will see the truth and will only give you Creating a life that makes you feel good is a brainwashing trick that has deceived too many people.
I was trumatised by the british media growing up here and when i went to China I thought I was going to get kidnap or cheated and everyone there was poor lol.
You guys are so cool. I love to watch your vlog of your trip to China. I feel very uplifting and positive about what is presented about what is really going on in China. Your presentation is quite eye-catching and pleasant surprise. Remember, despite all the SURVEILLANT cameras installation in Shanghai, London is the number one in terms of number of SURVEILLANT camera installed in relation to the size of the population. Somehow no one from the UK has concern about that.
Thank you for your nice videos. Hope you guys had a lovely time in China. If you plan to visit Changsha then I am happy to help you travel around the city for free. I lived in Ncl and Durham for four years btw. 😊
We had the most amazing time in China and share our experience with the world. Media and news representations don't always capture the reality, emphasizing the importance of firsthand exploration. We highly recommend everyone to visit atleast once to experience the rich culture, savor the cuisine, and witness the country for what it truly is ❤
thank you❤❤❤
Collecting data independently by yourself, by your own eyes, with your own first hand experience is the best way to de-brainwashing anti-China propaganda by western media! Good for you!
Could you apply for tourist visas?
❤
是时候开始学习一点中文了!😊😊😊
Glad you came to see China yourself. I've lived here for many years, and been visiting for even longer. Pretty much all of the major cities throughout China are as clean, easy and safe as Shanghai.
捕捉!祝您身体健康!😀
我喜欢你的作品,
身体好了吗?
遇到“熟人”了😂😂
平安健康哦,很高兴看到你又开始拍摄了
You state your experience is only based on Shanghai, take it from a US expat in China for 14 years. It's the same throughout China, I have been west to east and north to south. It's an amazing country. So glad you two enjoyed and was able to see the real China and not the fake western media version.
Wow, 14 years in China! What an experience! I'd love to live in China one day, if not permanently, then definitely on a part-time basis.
中国实际上还是一个发展中国家,中国城市和乡村、东部和西部差距还是挺大的,作为外国人应该很少有机会深入那些经济落后的地区。
I totally agree with you, I have visited much of China while visiting on the 60 day visa I can get in San Francisco and have returned over 10 times. I can't wait to resume again this April and will live in Shanghai for the duration of my stay. I hope and pray that the western countries can let China live in peace and stop the hateful rhetoric. Thank you for this thoughtful reply to an honest and lovely reply to this fantastic vlog.😀
@@but_at_what_cost I must correct you, I have been in Guangxi and other very poor Provinces, visited some of the most poorest areas in China. My wife is from a very tiny village in Guangxi. On my first visit to her village I was the first white person to ever visit the village, the entire village put a dinner on in my honor. My Anthony Bourdain moment. Sure these people are poor, but they all have something to eat. I love visiting these areas, in my opinion these are the true Chinese people, the most inviting and hardest working people I have met any where in the world.
@@ThePogo321 Your welcome and yes it was a honest and lovey vlog. People need to come and see for them self.
Good morning too. I have this encountered and would like to share.
I have met a young couple in Thailand recently. They were from US and they were traveling from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and then to Cambodia and Vietnam and before going back to US.
We have happened to have a casual friendly conversation and I have asked them since they are so near to China, why not go to China just for a few days to see China. I told them China is very interesting, But I was surprised of what they told me. They said according to all their media reports in US and advice by their government and many people. They were advice and told not to travel to China. Even their parents don't allow them to go to China. They were told China is not a safe country to travel. Very dirty, poor rundown infrastructures, poor transportation system, polluted, homeless people are everywhere waiting to rob tourists are common even in broad daylight. Chances of been detained for no reason by the Communist is very high. Because China is an authoritarian state and all foreign visitors are monitored by thousands of cameras everywhere, every minute where foreign visitors go. Foreign visitors from western countries can be detained for months or even years for no reason.
All these is what they know about China. The couple is like below 25 years of age and already so badly brainwashed by their government and controlled media. This is really sad.
Sad state of affairs. The thing with free media is that they are controlled by interest groups that ends up controlling the population with their ulterior motives.
Well the best thing to do is to visit China and see the country with your own eyes ☺️
it's funny that people ask the travelers/vloggers whether they are paid by the Chinese government to shoot the videos, while it's a known fact that the USA government and media have spent tons of money and effort spreading false rumors, fake news, and hatred towards China.😂😂
那不就是帝国主义无不怀念大清的样子😂
Mate, I was told the same thing here in Australia (but to be honest, Australia is USA puppet and play thing). But I was pleasantly surprised when I went to China. It was NOTHING like the lies we've been told back home. I loved the country, the people, their freedom, the total respect their government have for all its citizens to give them a good Middle Class life style. All their Civic Infrastructures and Civic Services were the best and they gave it to all. That's the way a government should be ... not just pouring in Tax Payers money into Corporations that have been conditioned to be extremely wasteful because its NOT their money.
White Aussie male here. Went to China and visited many cities. I never felt so safe being in a Country. I could go anywhere, any time of the day, leave my things on a table and order my food, and my things were still there. I have China's Police help me, and walked me, to the nearest public toilet at a mall (they carry no guns and they are Civic Police, not Militia Police like in USA). The people were so friendly, and many bailed me out when I had communication issues (I know very little Mandarin). The Cities in China are clean and their transportation system is out of this world. I could not get over how quiet the traffic in the cities were (in comparison to Western Cities traffic) because they have a lot of Electric Cars, compared to our Combustion Cars.
Went to USA and visited many cities. I was constantly concerned. I was warned by many not to go to certain suburbs in the Cities. The Cities were dirty. Too many obese and angry people, and they carry guns (40,000 gun related deaths EVERY YEAR in USA, virtually zero gun related deaths EVERY YEAR in all other developed countries in the world). Their Police wear military utility belts full of arsenals. I would not venture out of any city after midnight. I saw too many people living in the streets and neglected. Their Civic Infrastructures and Civic Services needed a lot of repairs/replacements or addition constructions were required. USA is very much geared towards the good life of the Billionaires (1% own 90% of the Country's wealth). China is very much geared towards supplying a good Middle Class life style for ALL its citizens - and they still have more BILLIONAIRES living in China than USA. Beijing has more billionaires living there than those in New York City. Also, out of the top 10 cities where billionaires choose to live, 6 are in China, and only 2 are in USA.
Like we always say, travel and see the world for yourself 🥰 we had an incredible time in China and we can’t wait to come back 🤩
Interestingly, in 1993, 5000 villagers in two villages in Hunan Province of China fought a small battle, using standard guns, homemade guns, mortars, homemade explosives, grenades, and detonators. If the army had not been sent to disperse the incident, it would have resulted in the largest knife fight death since the founding of New China, so China began a total ban on the use of firearms.
In that battle, both villages had veterans leading the fight, using infantry 3.3 tactics, even loading carts and oxcarts with explosives, using alternative, coordinated tactics of walking tanks, digging trenches, building mortar positions, doing all the things war does, a crazy mob.
@@nuo.not1033 😂😂😂我笑你为什么还沉迷于过去!1993正是持行禁枪令的那段时间。贩毒与走私军火是要持行死刑的。在中国,千万不要去“黄,赌,毒”!
Thank you for telling the truth 👍
@@ocm0104 I also forgot an important thing, there are currently about 18 million reservists in China who can take up arms again as active soldiers with simple training, and if China did not ban the use of guns, China would probably have the highest number of gun killings in the world.
Colombian living in Guangzhou here. I feel so sorry for all the prejudices and misconceptions people have about China that are actually a reflection of what’s really happening in their own countries.
I kindly suggest you for your next trip to China to visit Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Hong Kong which are very close to each other.
And my suggestion for everyone out there is: TURN OFF CORPORATE MEDIA!
Support alternative media, citizen journalism and vloggers.
We always say Travel is the best way to find your own truth 🤩
@@sunkissedbucketlist I noticed someone else also recommended Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Please visit those two cities next. There's good reasons why a few people are telling you not to go to Shenzhen. Go, it'll surprisingly impress you and you'll also learn what the real China is fast becoming. Visit the subway station in Shenzhen as well, you can make a whole video about it too.
Great recommendations! The Guangdong province is the best place to start when visiting China for the first time. No culture shock and no language barrier.
Absolutely, corporate media sales fear, anger and division. those are low vibration frequencies that will create a much worst world.
As a Chinese living in Australia for about 15 yrs, I've now already given up to convince people here around me that China is actually not that bad... They just don't really believe me and it's their loss anyway 😅
You’re absolutely right! ☺️
no need to awaken ignorant minds.🙂
@@choosim6858in their minds, if China wasn’t so bad then why are you living in Australia?
Same, I’ve liven in Sweden since 89 and people here refuse to give up the idea that China is the big bad bogeyman. I don’t care about educating people anymore.
@@npc2480 "Pressure on Chinese education" only because its too populous, you also get benefits from the government studying university from abroad(easier too)
the bad rap china gets is totally undeserved. I had the same preconceived notions when I visited in 2018, also based on US media. I was blown away when I got there, because it wasn't anything like what I heard/thought. since then, I've taken everything I hear about foreign people/places with a huge amount of skepticism.
The real reason the West doesn't want people going to China is because they don't want people to realise how far ahead and more civilised, safe and wealthy compared to the West. As this will cause the people to question their own government and their motives. It really is quite sad and evil what western governments do to their own people through manipulation and brainwashing let alone other people in foreign countries.
I know many foreigners who sincerely feel sorry for Chinese people, because they are so 'suppressed'. This is very sad situation, and it gives you a glimpse of how powerful the impact of a false narrative can be.
So true! I didn't realize the power of propaganda until I move to the West, one shocking thing is that I found western media, like BBC, CNN, Fox, Sky news, are lying nearly all the time about country, not just China, they don't like, and on contrast, China official media don't lie, if they dont want you to know something, they wont talk about it, but they dont lie! And sometimes i think they are too factual that they sound boring.
The biggest propaganda joke of the century , Chinese people need to be rescued from their government !!!😮😮 Funny , they were not saying that before 1949 ! When the imperialist powers carved the country up into foreign concessions and treated Chinese people as second class citizens in their own country ! The CPC inherited a broken , war torn , starving and poor country and in 75 years turned the country into a superpower , where Chinese people can hold their heads up high again and proudly look the world in the eye ...they certainly do not need the sympathy of these white supremacist social warriors with their fake concern for the "oppression" of the Chinese people ...the Chinese people know who really works for the Chinese nation and its their government not some foreign white saviour justice warrior ! Considering the state of some of the western nations maybe these justice warriors should worry about who really their own governments work for ? 😂😂
@@wyz9815 @therealdeal2163 Hi there, people could not see your replies, unless they chose 'sorted by time' if you log out and can not see your own reply, then we could not either. Consider removing all those big names and sensitive words and try again.
@@wyz9815this is what I tell people, they hide things yes, but they don’t lie. I’m a Taiwanese living in China and got thru the Covid times in China. A lot of people were asking me about the situation in China that I made it a mission to compare news East and West as well as see it from my own eyes and ask real Chinese people friends and family. I was surprised finding out almost everyone knows their government sugar coats things or hide certain news and yes some are factually too boring, but what I found shocking was how much the western media blatantly manipulates and lies and how much their viewers believe in these manipulation and lies because they live in a “news free, democratic society”.
I have always believed that demonizing China is essentially racial discrimination
From Singapore and thought my country was one of the, if not the most advanced, in Asia. Worked and lived in Shanghai for 5 years. The speed with which they advance, the IT, the Fintech, the logistics, the convenience, the metropolis with old world charm, the soul. Granted, they have some faults here and there, but it's part of the magic. Miss it like crazy.
They also worked very efficiently. Service is fast. The salespeople are very good at selling too.
Still smiling after leaving China! It's a great sign. Happy New year guys!
As long as you are saying nice, but true things about China. Then, the China haters won't stop coming for you guys.
We’re sharing our experience of China and how much we loved it 🥰
@@sunkissedbucketlist We look forward to your next visit to China.
The China haters could be propaganda agents of crazy western governments!
Not really right. I mean haters will always be haters and they will still stubbornly choose to believe what they've always been told to believe in even if you lay the truths out in front of their bloody own eyes. I bet you'll still some comments like "wumao", "genocide in Xinjiang", "free Tibet, free East Turkestan", yet for these same people so concerned about Muslims' welfare, you didn't hear them about "free Palestine! while people there are dying by the tens of thousands right on their silver screen and still ongoing. Hypocrites, double standards! Anyway I don't think the Chinese or the Govt are overly concerned about how they are perceived abroad or they've gone out on a charm offensive to correct those misconceptions. Yes, you see some locals putting out RUclips or Tiktok posts to address those misconceptions but they are still largely in the minority that really bother to do so. The rest just get on with life, the free entertainment they get to watch over the Great Firewall via VPN about memes on Americans' stupidity and ignorance (I think Europeans diss Americans the most despite the familial relationships) or the silly political manoeuvres between Democrats and Republicans, etc... Lol...
sharing the truth is to create love and connections between people. This definitely serves a more noble purpose as human being.
trust me , Other city is no different regarding openess and other social standard. China is actually more open than some so called domocracy countries, i know it is hard to believe it because of what western media describe China
Yes, check out the so called "freedom and democracy" in the US, in India, in France, etc. "Freedom and democracy " is not only in the every 4/5 years act of voting. It also includes how well the government response to the citizens welfare and aspiration.
@@chew5461over 5.8 million slaves in China. Great welfare. Those forced educational’ camps were just marvellous. Freedom camps!
Imagine a country that has no freedom of the press accusing other countries' media of being biased. A country has strong censorship accusing others of only seeing one side of the story. Pretty ironic
I'm Malaysian Chinese, I read in both English and Chinese, media from both sides are very different.
Education too. I study world history and geography in school, while in the west, they focus on the country or region.
This gives young people very different perspectives about the world.
Sometimes, I have to reconsider what does it really mean by freedom. Freedom to knowledge and rights to truth are what we need too, don't they?
I can't do shit here in California USA without a license and or a permit, freedom to criticize my president to my resident is not one of my priority needs.
Hi I'm Malaysian, thinking exactly like you on the language of multimedia.
@@stvdmc2011 same in China too, I mean someone can't do shit without a license and a permit too, US is way more better than China imo literally, at least if someone not satisfied with their salaries he/she is allowed to complaint even strike, even negotiate to their employers ,those not the case for China
@@kenyup7936Ask Big 3 car makers if they like UAW. Ask car buyers if buying new car will add $ from now on.
@@stvdmc2011, In China I can go to bar and drink to 2:00am morning and walk 30 minutes to my hotel. But I can't and won't do the same in US city. So, what is real freedom?
Every country has its own way of living.
For me as a normal citizen, I do not need any gun or drugs. Camera is good for me as I don't commit any crimes. Thefts may feel differently but I feel safe with those cameras.
In certain countries you have freedom for drugs, guns, etc and social media telling lies.
In China, we have freedom to really enjoy our lives walking around at night without worrying about our safety in most places.
It's okay, just we are different and we have to respect each other.
Well said 👏👏
Classic walking around at night shite chat. Guns in Switzerland and they all happily walk around at night. Most places people walk around happily at night in virtually every country . Bullshiters you lot. Guns are to fight against government tyranny . Maybe they were needed during Mao’s time.
In China you have freedom to be a modern day slave, a child kidnapper, an educational camp attendee, a malnourished citizen(150 million). Where is Peng Shuai?
I agree that the camera is good to curb crimes. I wish my country had more cameras installed on the streets. We had too many snatch theft cases and house broken-in cases here.
If you are lucky then there are good samaritans coming together to help you but never the police! 😅
说得太好了哥们❤
Your evaluation of China is so good! thank you all! Chinese society is developing too fast, and there are still many aspects that need time to change! We sincerely welcome you to visit us again. We don’t mind if you say something bad as long as it’s true.

We had the most amazing time in China and can’t wait to visit again 🥰
@@sunkissedbucketlist welcome
Been living in China for 13 years and never once I felt monitored or unsafe.. Been everywhere in China , from their vast grassland and desert cities to their rainforest, mountainous and snowy cities.. Each city or perhaps province will totally give you different experience in terms of culinary cuisines and local culture not to mention the cities that are in the middle of nature.. Indeed a beautiful country to live in and I hope everyone in the world will have the chance or open minded enough to experience China firsthand. SUGGESTION: Do a proper tourist visa next time to you can visit a lot more. Beijing- Xian-Chengdu (Where I live now)- Chonqing, Yangshuo, Guilin, Dali , Lijiang and Shangrila. From Beijing you will be heading down to south west China. Do the last 5 cities in the list maybe in your last 2 weeks in China. I recommend a month of visit but that is really tight already with the given cities above. :) This will totally cover everything from different culture, tradation, nature and cuisine. Have fun with your travels.
Ah that’s amazing! Thank you so much for all the suggestions and recommendations ☺️☺️
Almost all the videos made by people who either live in China or have visited China are, like yours, very positive about the country. The majority of negative comments about China seem to be coming from people who have never been there.
People who escaped from China due to cult organizations, corruption, and crime.
In Los Angeles for the last 50 years and our crime rate is going through the roof! We don’t go out much after dark just to be safe. We are basically hostages surrounded by homeless, robbers, and thieves. Our smart voters decided that one can steal or rob up to $900 without consequences, stupidity has no boarders. Another reason not to go out after work is the traffic. It takes 2 hrs to go 20 miles during rush hours and it is now from 0600-1900. Public transport is a joke and even more unsafe. Our liberal politicians came up with the bright idea of letting the homeless sleep on our metro trains at night! The smell of urine saturates downtown Los Angeles and our metro. America the beautiful and the land of the free. One can argue we don’t have human rights anymore. The right to feel safe, the right to go out at night, the right to have a stroll in the park, the right to get to a destination at a reasonable time, and worse of all, our politicians rather spend our taxpayers $ on foreigners instead of better the lives of citizens and legal residents. We Americans are going the ways of the Romans, never conquered but declined from within.
I'm a Chinese dude living in the US. Thanks for the positive and truthful depiction of your Shanghai trip! Subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you!
You are a nice couple and you confirm what I hear from other bloggers, that China is the best country in the world to visit or work in. Safe, friendly helpful people, clean, good food and services at affordable prices.
Look forward to your next China visit. I am old aged person from Australia and cannot travel myself. I fell in love with China and am very angry how people get manipulated in western countries to hate China as many of your questions show.
The fact that people are asking these questions indicates how biased, brainwashed and ignorant they are.
So brainless to think any government following everyone, despite the fact they have no idea how many manpower, money and energy involved in such activity and why should any government spend huge time and money follow people aimlessly, they are all narcissists, thinking they are somebody, that government need to follow them, or maybe they are criminal or wanted person who can cause big damage to the society, so they have been living in horror of being followed by the police and they project such mind onto Chinese🤣
They thought China is the same as North Korea.
🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Truly, many are ignorant & brainwashed by the media especially those in the West.
Xmas is actually cancelled in the West, it’s so scary/awkward to say “merry Christmas “ now as they told us it may offend people. People now say happy holidays instead.
Do not bs.
in melbourne australia a lot of local council banned merry christmas sign due to religion conflicts. @@Motorcycle1237
Imagine you say Merry Xmas to a muslim.
Imagine you say Merry Xmas to a jew, see how they react.
In any country in this world where you can't even say Merry xmas or happy chinese new year or happy diwali or anything like that then you know you should get the f out of that country Asap.
I'm Chinese, and I'm really grateful that you come to visit China and introduce a real China to the world. It truly touches me that more people are getting to know, understand, and love my country. China will always welcome you!
A little travel advice, If you're interested in seeing the chinese advancements and history:
If you want to explore the 3000 years of history, go to Xi'an.
If you want to explore the 1000 years of history, go to Beijing.
If you want to explore the last 100 years of China going from colonization to modernization, go to Shanghai.
If you want to see modern blade-runner-like infrastructure and seemingly impossible urban planning done in the last 40 years, go to Chongqin.
If you want to see the future, go to Shenzhen.
That's a very very rough and overall thing to say, and If we add the different landscapes and biomes that China offers, there would be no end to the list.
And what's the best thing of all of that? That the whole China has first class safety no matter where you go, so there's nothing like "being in the wrong place at the wrong time" kind of bs, and you are able to freely explore at ease.
Also visit Xinjiang, Tibet and Yunnan, inner Mongolia, to see how minority people living in China, to see differrnt vibe there than other area in China, see how happy their lives are, see more dances and singing in those places😊, and take high speed train in Tibet!
Chongqing is the city like a fantasy world.
Riding the MRT in here, like riding train in the disney world.
If you want to explore the 2,000 years of history, go and walk along Great Wall of China.
How about HangZhou ? How about WuHan ?
I have been to Beijing and Shanghai, thinking of these destinations.

You guys are my favorite bloggers.You are able to experience a country with your own eyes and for us to be able to break through our own prejudices, travelling with you has been an eye-opener for me, it's been amazing.Finally, wish you a better and better year in 2024! Have fun!❤❤❤
Wow, thank you! 🤩
Because we are safe here, citizens treat each other with sincerity and have nothing to hide. Therefore, everyone does not have to worry about their behavior being recorded or videotaped. Even if bad behavior is publicized, everyone is ready to condemn those bad behaviors. It’s the behavior rather than the photographer. Of course, our country is not perfect. If someone uses a one-sided lens and malicious lies to smear us, that will make us feel disgusted. We like to evaluate and introduce our country realistically, thank you for your neutrality.
☺️☺️☺️
You guys are very open minded people. Unlike some other south eastern countries that mostly develop the capital cities, China's many other cities are also well developed. For next trip, suggest you to go to Chongqing and Chengdu in the south west, Shenzhen, Guangzhou in Guangdong province, and Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing in the east (near Shanghai). Now China issues two weeks free entry visa to a few European countries and Malaysia after Singapore has this for a while, unfortunately, not to UK yet.
Thank you ☺️
No country is as progressive as China. They also strive to be better tomorrow. Shanghai is richest city in the world I guess.
If your next destination is Beijing, I would like to remind you to pay attention to some things. Beijing is the political center of China, different from Shanghai. The security measures in the Tiananmen Square and Chang'an Street area are stricter here. Some places require one day's advance application to enter, and some scenic spots may close on Monday or Tuesday. It is necessary to check relevant websites in advance to understand the situation. Many video creators come to Beijing without choosing the most representative place, wasting time in this huge city. I am surprised that they don't go to the Forbidden City and Summer Palace when they come to Beijing. This is the territory of the emperor and the representative of Beijing. If you want to learn about old Beijing, you can take a walk along the Shichahai area. In addition, the more modern place is Sanlitun. I didn't mention the Great Wall, I thought you were definitely going. The Badaling Great Wall and Jinshanling Great Wall are my recommendations. The first one is more famous, but going there during holidays would be a disaster as there are too many people!
没错,我也想说这个情况,也可能这方面的英文攻略太少了,哈哈哈

Thanks for the tips ☺️
@@sunkissedbucketlist allow me to add a few points. i think application isn't that accurate a word, it's actually called reservation coz no such "applications" have ever been denied (unless you are a known terrorist of course), at least not in my knowledge.
you need to type in your ID or passport NO. on the official website to make the reservations, and if it's important holidays you'll probably need to reserve several days in advance because people all over the city would also like to visit. there's a maximum head count allowed for each of these attractions usually, since they are very ancient and fragile.
i'm a local beijinger, if you need any tips just let me know. I speak a bit of english and traveled extensively around the city myself.
“Were you being followed?” Sorry I laughed 😂 I’m a frequent traveler and I have to say that I feel way safer when I go to mainland China for leisure or business than when I go to European countries! And I don’t visit the US… not an offense to the Americans but to the US government. My American friends have left absolutely speechless with the safety issues in their own country.
Love your videos!! ❤ you didn’t make China “look good” but you revealed the everyday life in China 👍🏻
Thanks a lot ☺️
You experienced a China that is different from what we heard on TV here in the west ! I would love to see your trip back to China ! Thank you for sharing
I wanna add a small extra thing on cleanliness: I was hanging out with my friends in a shopping mall in China (Zhejiang), and when I went to the restroom I accidentally splashed water on the floor, a cleaner immediately showed up and cleaned it for me, which was really nice. I'm sure it was a coincidence maybe I was there exactly at the time when it was that cleaner's shift, but the restrooms in the mall were always super clean. Also the cleaners are mostly elderly men/women, it was nice seeing these people who could've been financially vulnerable in other countries are offered doable jobs. They get a decent income to afford housing/food/savings, the restrooms are clean, customers are happy to come and spend, a win win situation.
I got comments on my recent video about Shanghai during Christmas saying I work for the government, and I'm an actor 😩 I was just making a video doing things I enjoy, not sure why people say stuff like that
For people that believed that China banned Christmas, I'd start questioning where you got that information and question all the content you've learned, read, or watched from there. Some are true but the great thing about propaganda is you mix it in with the truth so it makes it more difficult to see through the bs.
Happy New Year 2024 you two :) I already miss your China content videos... Though I could watch your videos on rerun haha .... You two bring so much positive energy and vibes...
Happy new year!!
I live in a small town in the North of England, and I decided to count the amount of CCTV cameras whilst walking through the shopping area, I got about 200 yards and had counted 12. I'd never noticed how many there were before, simply because I hadn't paid any attention to them. So people getting bothered by cameras in China probably need to start paying attention to the amount of security cameras in their own location, when you do you realise there are loads everywhere, even on ATMs. The bulk of the cameras in China cover the roads for traffic violations, but the media fails to mention this.
The cameras are mainly used to monitor mischiefs and crimes.
If someone believes he is being monitored by the authority all the time then he must be kidding himself. There would not be enough officers eyeing over a billion people all the time.
Agreed 👍🏻
Happy new year guys! I enjoyed your videos in Shanghai and looking forward to seeing more videos when you are back to China ❤
Happy new year!! 🥳
i'm from canada and have been in china for few times.... never feel unsafe and followed! I never need to worry about any pickpocket. food is amazing and cheap! i wish i can stay there longer!
We have felt very safe in China no doubt and have found it to be very affordable especially the public transport 🤩
@@sunkissedbucketlistya public transportation and also Didi (their version of Uber) are affordable. The cars used by Didi drivers are also well kept.
Thank you very much for making this video to clarify some of the common negative comments from the Western people. Hope you can clarify and explain more of these with your family, your friends and your colleagues after you have flown back to your country. I know this is not an easy task, given how biased and manipulative the Western mainstream media currently are, but every effort counts! Thank you!!
Looking forward to your second trip to China😊
Can't wait!
Thanks you two, it was great to see you enjoy my bucket list country. Happy New Year! 💖
To you too! ☺️
You guys have a great outlook on life. Great review from the sights, sounds, food and capord with a comprehensive overall general impression impression , welll done.. ps you guys should enter the cutest couple on RUclips contest.
Ah that’s so kind haha thank you ☺️
your video is so meaningful and positive, wish you have a good time when you come to china again! it is a good way to show the culture and create the peace rather than some fake news would lead to conflict and misunderstanding
I prefer cctv everywhere,less crimes n feel safe for me wherever I go as long as is not in the privacy of my home,Those who dislike cctv they are potential to be. Criminals.
Being paid by the Chinese government? If that is true, I'd be the first to sign up. Unfortunately, no such thing.
😂😂😂
真实的博主,说的很真实,狠狠得打西方媒体得脸。赞👍🏻
Just sharing our experience with the rest of the world 🌍 🥰
Thanks for putting the cameras and police issue in perspective. If some tourists complain about this, they are being ungrateful and unappreciative because they don't have to worry about being pickpocketed, robbed, harassed, or worse during their stay. This is not the case in so many other places, like India, the US and Europe.
About your next China trip, please go to Chongqing, often called the 'Cyberpunk' capital of China. It seems like the true NYC of China: ultramodern and fast-paced, but also gritty with a grassroots energy and creativity.
Sounds great, thanks for sharing ☺️
You are such a sincere and graceful couple. ❤❤
Happy New Year! Enjoyed your positive vibe as well as your Shanghai video. 😄
Happy new year to you too ☺️
Malaysian here just back from Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Ironically, crossing over to Shenzhen from Hong Kong felt very liberating. It was beautiful, less hectic, calmer, everything was so affordable. Walked around the streets at 3am and it felt super safe. We have our own e-wallet that is compatible with Alipay so that was extremely convenient. The only thing I really disliked was the public spitting 😂.
人口多就会非常考验政府管理能力,中日韩都有随地吐痰的人,毕竟不是新加坡那么小易于管理
What did you like about shenzen the most? We’re planning a trip there soon ☺️
yes, felt the same, Shenzhen are better than Hong Kong in so many ways that really counts, that's why more are crossing over to China than the otherway around. Although there has been a huge improvement in regard to public spitting its still an issue for a minority of the population, I think it will be less of a problem as time goes by. Public smoking was a huge issue last time around this time it was not an issue.
I dislike the squat toilet 😅
@@vister6757there are sitting toilets too 😅
the biggest barrier for foreigners travel in China is the language, if there's one app can solve the conversations, you guys can reach to breathtaking views in China. China has too many good sites to offer. welcome again!
We will try and learn more mandarin too ☺️
Glad to see you guys had a great time in Shanghai! Beijing is definitely a must visit city for its rich cultural places such as palace museum, temple of heaven, the great wall and so on. if you have more time, I'd really recommend Yangshuo, Guilin in Guangxi province which has a spectacular nature landscape of Karst and that's my No.1 place to visit in China.
Thank you for your honest comments. Seeing for yourself is better than media propaganda. Those media outlets might not have even been to China themselves and yet they're being paid to spread their message. Shanghai is quite populated, and especially during Chinese holidays, there are many tourists from other parts of China in Shanghai. At such times, the locals in Shanghai prefer to stay at home rather than visit tourist spots. :) Moreover, if you've experienced the crowdedness of the Subway Lines 1 and 2 during peak commuting hours, you'll have a whole new feeling. Haha.
It is cheap, not very expensive to get a proper 60-day visa to China. You can get it from any tour agency in almost any country.
Christmas is not an official holiday in China, so we do not have a "celebration" on that day. But in cities like Shanghai, where there are a lot of international travelers, you will see Christmas decorations or promotions in the shopping mall. 😊
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for spreading your positive views.
加油💪祖国加油💪世界加油💪
Happy to hear that you like China! Pls go visit Xinjiang and Tibet this year, and I am sure you will be amazed.
Tibet travel requires being in a travel group right?!
西藏不应该随便推荐,西藏是高原地带,有的人不熟悉的话,好容易没做提前准备 会有高原反应。
@@peanut0brain No, you just need a guide to avoid getting lost.
@@peanut0brain In Tibet, foreigners need a local tour guide to travel and visit remote places between cities, but in the cities they can roam around independently.
Tibet and Xinjiang are so beautiful, there are so many fruits and delicacies, and the prices are very cheap.
Saw this video and subscribed after scanning your previous ones. Will be watching them slowly one by one. Australia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, The Philippines, China, Pakistan, Nepal, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia,... So many interesting videos. Thanks and wishing you a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2024. Pls keep the videos coming.
Ah that’s so kind! Really appreciate it, thank you! ☺️
Trolls are pathetic as they reflect the attitude of their country’s silent majority who allow ineffective/corrupt politicians to represent them.
Been to China for a month....I enjoyed the places I've visited, was in Beijing and also Shanghai. Of course Guangchou alot cause I was working in Macau for a year. Very safe. Public transport extremely cheap. Of course I speak Mandarin and 4 other Chinese dialects since I was raised in Malaysia so it was even much easier for me to communicate with the people. Cameras everywhere but not to watch where I was going just for safety. So China extremely safe...need not worry about negative comments. Have more fun...if you are visiting Beijing, and you wanna visit Forbidden city, Summer Palace and the Great Wall, make sure you try to be there very early morning . You really don't wanna be there when the tour buses arrive. Haha! I was the the first person to walk in the Forbidden city(because I make sure I queue up at the ticket counter at very early) . So nice! when I can enjoy with very little tourists around
Due to the large number of tourists, attractions such as the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square need to make reservations on the APP in advance, and tickets cannot be purchased at the ticket office on the spot. Your ID will be checked when entering the tour, so be sure to bring it with you.
Was there a few years ago, no need advance booking... well I am sure there are more visitors now but anyway if really need to book then try to book the opening time for Forbidden City...still less tourists ,after 9.00 am that is when the tour buses comes in@@glw238
Ah that’s so cool! Thanks for sharing with us ☺️
Very very looking forward to your new series of Tours in China. Chong qing,Hang zhou,Xia men,Nan jing,Suzhou,Shen zhen,Cheng du,Bei jing are all very famous tourist cities.
Guangzhou is also among the best in receiving tourists every year.😂
@@tonycanton5611 of course,Canton!!!
if you have roaming from your cell phone company, you will have no problem accessing google in China. I bought an international pass from T-mobile (US), and I did not have to use VPN when I went to Shanghai. I simply use my phone and my phone's hot spot for my laptop.
How does t mobile charge for international data roaming?
@manwan9370 what's the vpn name?
Ahhh ok! We only had a local sim and VPN did not work ☺️
Thanks for choosing the positive. We get enough negative from the corporate media. People are hunger for the positive.
Agreed 👍🏻
To be frank, I want to be paid by China government promote China (only based on facts), get a permanent residency visa so that I can live in China. There are so much negativity about China in western media include our own local English newspapers, though less critical, that some of my fellow Singaporean who are ethnic Chinese (like me) believe the CCTVs are meant for monitoring people’s activities for social credit system because China is a communist country. I clarified with my China colleagues they told they have financial credit system (for finance loan application purposes) not the social credit system claimed by western media.
🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
I don't want to touch on politics on a travel vlog but here it goes. The negative opinions or views on China was propagated, bombarded perpetually by western mass media paid by their govt, political parties for geopolitical reasons and political gains. These always intensify especially whenever elections are near and self interest politicians desperately trying to cling to their positions as long as they can. For these reasons, these stories by the western mass media are always distorted and far from the truth. Hence, the negative perceptions are widespread in the west but never in the east. Seeing is believing. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy yourself and don't let negative thoughts fool or distract you from your destiny in life. Cheers.
Thanks ☺️
for the 144-hour transit visa in Shanghai, people need a flight ticket from country A to Shanghai, Shanghai to Country B; and are only allowed to travel in Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu.
Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu together is the size of the UK if not bigger.
144 hours is needed to visit Shanghai alone. So your point is??
Yes 👍🏻
Just a reminder, there are at least 5 provinces in China as warm as Vietnam, such as Guangxi province, Guangdong province, hainan provinces, even Fujian province etc . Next time in the winter you can visit those southern provinces
Yes we should do that haha, it was so cold!! 🥶
@@sunkissedbucketlist
Go visit Hainan during winter, it's like china's Hawaii there
As a Chinese l've been living cashlessly for like what, 10 years now maybe. My job often requires me to travel to different cities for a week or 2, several times a year. Sometimes when I was packing my wife would put couple banknotes inside the inner pocket of my backpack, "just for emergency". I never stopped her, who knows, could be possible like the phone is dead or WIFI is out. For 10 years I never got chace to spend those emergency notes, and yesterday when I checked, WOW, I'm rich!🤑🤑🤑
Haha that’s brilliant 🤩
Behind every successful man is a thoughtful caring woman.
I love Shanghai it’s the most amazing place I’ve visited Been there twice
I traveled the main cities such Beijing Guangzhou and Shenzan and also visited Chengdu
Lots of amazing places to visit but since watching your blog I need to go back to Shanghai it’s beautiful and amazing
Enjoy your travels 🇿🇦
Christmas is not a traditional holiday, but many do take paat in the festivities and Christians are free to celebrate.,,,Yes there are millions of Christians and Catholics., This is for those who have never traveled overseas. Don't believe BBC, Guardian, or Times of London.
What a great video! Really enjoyed
Hi guys, I heard that you can now travel visa-free in China to many European countries, greetings from the Netherlands
for the Netherlands, you can get 15 days visa-free. Unfortunately, UK isn't apart of that.
Yes, from 15 countries, the UK is not included ☺️
UK was to naughty so no free visa 😂
😂😂😂👍
Thank you for sharing your honest experience.
If you come to Beijing and plan to visit some historical sites or museums, you will most likely need to make reservations online in advance, such as the Forbidden City.😀
If Chinese government is smart, it should open the country more to the ordinary people of the world, embrace the world. This would be the best propaganda machine of all.
The Chinese government does not restrict ordinary foreigners visiting China.
The world's English-language media is controlled by the United States. Many people are willing to believe the media and are unwilling to come to China. tiktok can let some people see the truth. But now it is also suppressed by the United States.
China has always been open to foreign tourists, It is the West trying to stop people from visiting China, fearing people would finding out Western media are the ones who are lying and waving propaganda machine the most.
The Chinese government runs the country for the Chinese people not for what foreigners think ....if you or your MSM wants to slag off china, so be it, China doesn't care if it's done within your own country ....nobody is restricted to enter china if the proper rules are obeyed , as long as your visit is benign and you are not a criminal ...if you come to China to make trouble or to attack China's security or sovereignty then yes the government will clamp down on you. If you come as a tourist to enjoy the sights and food , china will welcome you...that is the plain truth of the matter.
Recently China unilaterally waived visa requirements for certain countries.
You are truly bloggers with a sense of justice.🙏❤️💐
Thanks 🤩
In China it's more about the "freedom to be SAFE" and not "freedom to be decadent"
Next time when you enter China in Shanghai with 144h transit visa, you can go to Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang province with ease. There are so many things to eat or to do in the Yangtze River delta area which includes these two provinces and Shanghai. So sad to see that you haven’t got to eat much local cuisine in Shanghai. Shanghai is probably the best in the diversity of food, and it has the best food quality. If you find the right place, you can eat well with very little budget. Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu, has the best roast duck. Suzhou, a very major city near Shanghai, has the best noodle. All these cities can be reached via high speed train from Shanghai. If you need to know where to eat, I can provide you guys a list of restaurants you can go in these three cities. Hope you guys can come back this year!❤❤❤Love from China!
We would love to come back again and try as much food as we can 😍
As an Australian, I started working in China in 2004 and flew in and out for a couple of years before finally moving to Shanghai. After another few years I married a Chinese lady in 2012 and worked for another 2 years before taking a role in Dallas TX, USA. Getting an apartment at 1200 Main St, seemed like a great idea as we had previously been living in Chaoyang. It was like going back in time moving to Dallas. Overt racism towards my wife, druggies panhandling on every corner and we were limited to a 2 block radius from the apartment by our landlord if we wanted to stay safe. I needed to go to a police station one day and they wouldn’t even let me in the $%^&ing door. In China, the Police were 100 times more professional. We could not wait to get back to the Middle Kingdom.
PS. The ONLY danger for men going to work in China is the high probability of catching Yellow Fever.
Interesting 🤔
So happy to get your objective views about China! For those who only get distorted news coverage from the wrong mediums, my suggestion is go and get a ticket to China now!
In fact, 80% of Americans don't even have a passport, and they haven't even been to another state. The terrible truth~!
@@jrwkd6114 It's said most Americans think they're the center of the universe,once they get a passport,they go nowhere other than Canada😂😂😂😂
The law of resistance. What you resist persists. Whatever you don't like will keep showing up in your life. This is the main reason life can seem so baffling and uncontrollable
Thank you guys for thr recap. Had a lot of fun traveling with you through Shanghai! Cant wait for the next China destination. May I add Xian, Dalian, Nanking, Chengdu and Guilin to your list as well!
If you visit Beijing, make sure you visit the Yuanmingyuan(the old summer palace), once the most spectacular royal palace in China. Victor Hugo also wrote a letter dedicated to it.
Thanks for the tips ☺️
The cameras equipped by China🇨🇳 are used to protect the law-abiding citizens and to maintain social stability and harmony and other security management work in public places!❤
You guys are so cute! Glad you enjoyed yourselves! You guys have so much energy! So much to see, I'd be exhausted after the second day (it would be a wasted trip)! Lucky, you, being young & all!
Aww thanks for the kind words 🥰
Thanks guys, for shutting up all those ignorant armchair critics with their silly questions and perceptions on China. Keep on enjoying yourselves and debunking any further China hating questions and disinformation. 🎉❤🎉

Let’s count the population. There are more than 25 million people in Shanghai, including the floating population and more than 30 million people. It is normal for cameras to be densely populated. New York and London are also cities with more than 10 million people. The cameras are also densely populated. These cameras can record the crime process at any time and quickly identify criminals. The more densely populated the place, the more important it is to ensure people's safety. The West never talks about its own problems, it just wants to discredit China as a surveillance state. When it comes to surveillance and eavesdropping, the United States is No. 1. You rarely see cameras in small cities or suburbs in China. So I say that the purpose of the Western media is to make you think that it is a surveillance authoritarian country that is unwilling to let you go. However, when you actually step into China, all its lies are shattered. Yes, China has BBC CNN reporters who have been living in China. China, but their daily task is to collect less than 1% of emergencies. Even if 99% of the city is very good, they will look for the garbage dumps of the city like flies, or go to places where few people visit. Go looking for abandoned villages in the mountains. If you can't find them, they will find actors to play them. This is not the first time CNN has done this. I have seen their routines for a long time. At the same time, I also warn everyone to beware of these black media. Countries are walking around wantonly. For example, the last turmoil in France was basically not shown in the Western mainstream media. All beautiful pictures and videos were shown. However, on TikTok, which is watched by hundreds of millions of people, they are afraid that people will see the truth and will only give you Creating a life that makes you feel good is a brainwashing trick that has deceived too many people.
You guys should get the multiple entry visa. The longest single stay is 90 days.
I was trumatised by the british media growing up here and when i went to China I thought I was going to get kidnap or cheated and everyone there was poor lol.
If u were so traumatized by the fake news media, how did u even make the leap to visit the "evil dictatorship" country?
🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
You guys are so cool. I love to watch your vlog of your trip to China. I feel very uplifting and positive about what is presented about what is really going on in China. Your presentation is quite eye-catching and pleasant surprise. Remember, despite all the SURVEILLANT cameras installation in Shanghai, London is the number one in terms of number of SURVEILLANT camera installed in relation to the size of the population. Somehow no one from the UK has concern about that.
Thanks so much ☺️
Thank you for your nice videos. Hope you guys had a lovely time in China. If you plan to visit Changsha then I am happy to help you travel around the city for free. I lived in Ncl and Durham for four years btw. 😊
Thanks! 😃
China is amazing; UK citizen; lived there from 2000-2016. Now going back after experiencing life in UK and Europe that is much , much worse.
I would highly recommend going to yunnan province for your next trip. There is alot of natural beauty and historical attractions
I love Shanghai and the people there are very hospitable.❤
