    你好!I took mandarin classes in college for this semester, so I’ve been immersing myself in Chinese culture to get a feel of the language and the people, I love your channel since it’s so diverse! Politics, history, culture, travel and so much more can be found it’s really great! Keep up the quality :D

    Another great video, with lots of info and travel tips.
    🙂Your comment about Guangdong food, where the shrimp tastes like shrimp. I am from UK and we also like the food to taste more natural. Because I am from UK everywhere I go in Yunnan, or Guizhou, the hosts always buy me beef, and it never tastes of beef, or they buy me chicken, that never tastes of chicken. To be honest, I would rather have pork, or roast duck.🙃
    My enduring memory of Qingdao is buying beer in plastic bags from small shops. They pour the beer from a tap in metered plastic bags. I first saw them when I was in a small newspaper shop, and little old ladies were walking home with these bags. Fresh Qingdao beer.

    This may be a super dumb question, but here I go 🙈 :
    What would you eat in these chinese places when you'd rather have primarily veggies? 🤔
    Salt, fish and meat, I get to see that in nearly every video about food in China. Surely dishes with primary veggies has a long history in China. 🤷‍♂
    Secondly, I love seeing you interact with the locals 👍😁

    I 1000% agree! Driving and having the freedom to enjoy the route and all the detours is the best, stopping whereever it suits you, finding surprises along the way and making immediate decisions to try something new and unexpected, and not just going from destination to destination.

    I read the Great Canal 'built in sections over a period of more than 2,500 years, starting in the 5th century BC. It was completed by Emperor Yang of the Sui dynasty in 609 AD' - traffic ''triggered the world's first 24-hour food places - so yeah that could help explain Chinese restaurants being everywhere

    Great video and nice to see many places filmed in the way like local. I guess "scam" is a strong word in overpriced stuffs especially in tourist areas. If the price is on the menu I guess the choice will be for the customers to explore and pick the one acceptable to them.

    Siming, please make a video specifically about religious freedom in China. I think most people think that communist countries don't allow religion because it's against the ideology. I think this topic could be very interesting to be discussed. As always, great video! Cheers.
