@@OTWD_yt Right now in Zhuhai, a great place. It is border city to Macau and over the bridge to Hong Kong. Can walk to Macau from my place in 10 mins. I reckon you'd like it also.
are they hiring people over there... ok stupid question? im Chinese also in the UK, struggling to find work in the UK... obviously ive heard from HK that theyre looking for talent or welcoming people from outside or overseas? but obviously not sure if HK means Zhuhai is the same?
Born and raised up in this city, it’s surprising to see anyone outside of China especially someone from this far put this city into their travel plan. Hope you soak up your moment in Nanning!
absolutely salivating its 3am in the UK!!! im staying up for your vid!!! im impressed how Bens miming and guessing of Chinese actually worked with the lady!!!? im also impressed by the patience of both parties involved!! you all had time for each other... and the differences of 2 nations!! was really wholesome
You can meet Gweilo 60 in Nanning. Hopefully its still pretty cheap food. From Nanning you can see Guilin and from there ferry trip to Yangshuo. The ferry trip was a highlight of my trips when I go to Guangxi province.
@@OTWD_yt He is a retired Canadian who lives in Nanning. His Chinese wife sadly passed away so he now spends time travelling between China and other parts of the world. Here is his youtube channel. www.youtube.com/@Gweilo60/videos
As others have said, Nanning's Wuxu airport is partly a military airport. There's usually a military guard stationed near the entrance to the main concourse. Nanning is beautiful! It has a very SE Asian vibe, many Vespas, pedestrian crossings are more like recommendations, so be careful :D. I was there in June and I'm going back next January. I recommend the glass bridge, the three streets two alleys area (三街两巷) and a Yong river cruise at night. Nanning is great for fresh fruit, both familiar and exotic. You'll find plenty of fruit vendors on the streets or at markets. I understand it might be hard, but try to pair up with some locals when you go to KTV. KTV is more fun in groups of 3-8 and the locals will show you how to order and have a great time.
You were landing at one of those dual-use airports. In China dual-use airports support both the PLAAF and civilian flights. Thus, taking off and landing at such airports require all blinders to be closed off as it is also part of an military base.
My boyfriend just enrolled in a university in Nanning! A lot of love for that city but I really can not stand the smell of Luosifen(螺狮粉). And I'd like to welcome you guys to the city I am living, Taiyuan.The city is famous for its noodles, vinegar and ancient thousands-year-old arcitechure. It's really worth a visit!
Thank you so much 😊 we are gonna try and visit as many places as we can in these 60 days and then we get a 1 year multi entry visa when we’re back in the U.K. at Christmas
Welcome back to China guys. Didn’t know you went to Thailand for two weeks. Anyway, glad to see you back. Nanning is a very beautiful city. There is so much to see. Food is delicious and cheap there. I’ve been there once and I like it. I hope you’ll will like it and enjoy your time there. Looking forward to your next vlog. Take care! Cheers from Macau 🇲🇴 🇨🇳
Yes all for a good reason. We wanted to set our selves up to hit China properly so was worth shooting to Bangkok and getting a visa. Really happy we got 60 days instead of the 30 so exciting times. I think our friends sun kissed bucket list are in macau at the moment. We have not been yet but we definitely will
Nanning is known as the "green city " in China. Chongqing is the "mountain city ". And kunming is the "spring city ". It is interesting to name the city 😂
no offence to kirk but probably would not introduce them to kirk lol... the dude will just introduce them to drinking, kirks been in China and Nanning for 20 odd yrs doesnt know where to buy food from!? doesnt know where to get Pizza or bacon or cheese or milk or whatever.... i get kirk has his fans and i was also subbed

@@antwangoI guess it’s because Guangxi is one of the poorest provinces in China, so is Nanjing as its city. So it might be more difficult to access cheese or any other western style food there. Not saying that they don’t have these products, just not as easily accessible as in other parts of China.
There like our best friends on RUclips. Taz actually told us to come to China before we went to Beijing in China 1.0 we want them to succeed as much as us. ❤️
Kind of hilarious watching you guys making food order conversing in English and Mandarin to get the order done. 😂 the lady was literally telling what's what and confirming repeatedly
Glad to see more videos in China. I've been watching Gweilo 60 videos about Nanning for about 3 years, but I think he's on his way to the Phillpines while you're there.
Hi, I am your subscriber and am very delighted that you are visiting Nanning! I am a Nanninger who lives in London now. TBH Nanning is not famous for its tourist attractions, maybe the view of Yongjiang river邕江 (the mother river near your hotel), Qingxiu Mountain青秀山, Nanhu park南湖 and some museums (e.g., Guangxi Museum of Nationalities广西名族博物馆). Many tourists take Nanning as a transfer station of many other natural attractions in Guangxi (so many! e.g., Detian Waterfalls德天瀑布). But the food here is the best in the world in my heart! From Laoyou rice noodle老友粉, Lemon Duck 柠檬鸭, rice noodle roll卷筒粉 to wide varieties of cheap tropical fruit (Durian, jacket fruit, lychee, mango). In fact there is a pub called Speakeasy whose boss is from England and many foreigners in Nanning like to go to, perhaps you can go and ask their advice for travelling in Nanning hahah (there are actually many Brits living in Nanning than you might think of)
Nanning International is a dual use airport for both civil and military. Guangxi Province, the size of the UK and where Nanning is, doesn't have much flat land. So both the civil and military have to share the same airport. The reason for the closed window blinds.
when i 1st heard u guys were on the short term transit visa again, i was actually disappointed. 60 days, now thats a proper visit to china. Have fun and look forward to exploring china alongside you.
Really really impressed by your spirit of exploration! Xiamen then Nanning. These are some lesser known tier 2 cities that don't see that many visitors, yet they are all charming, convenient with lots of local flavors :D Regarding the language barrier, it's easier if you know that almost every one you meet on these streets would try to help if you have troubles understanding how things work. Just getting more used to it would help.
That’s what we try to do. We will go to some famous one too but it will definitely be abit of a mixture and seeing some real places that vloggers are not showing
"Dao bao" is to take away. She wasn't sure you understood so she said it another way as "dai zou" which means to bring away (general, not necessarily referring to food).
guys, in China, there's one eating habit you should know.to the west and north of China, people in this area like to eat noodles.to the east, south, people there prefer to eat vermicelli made from rice.nanning borders Vietnam and is close to Southeast Asia.so they prefer vermicelli made from rice.there are three names for this kind of food. (Mandarin transliteration) 1, her fern. 2, gor tiao. 3, mi fern. nanning's most famous local food is fresh water raw fish and hot and sour rice noodles. 😊
There are a few types of sleeper trains in China and they are the affordable way of going long distances over night and you can save a night of hotel expenses as well. Recently a new high speed sleeper train started to operate between Beijing-Hong Kong/Shanghai-Hong Kong that travels at 350kmph, making it the fastest sleeper train in the world, they even have cocktails on the train. You might get the chance to try that if you are going on the route.
@@OTWD_yt I've not seen the new high speed sleeper trains covered anywhere on RUclips yet. It's certainly worth trying. It's not the old sleeper bullet train that are green, it's the proper Fuxing train that goes from Beijing-Hong Kong(G897) or Shanghai-Hong Kong(G899) in under 12 hours. And of course you don't necessarily need to ride the entire journey, you can do the trip to Shenzheng on the same train. Usually if you are traveling for more than a couple stops on high speed trains you can order food to be delievered from upcoming stations to your seat. Also if you are traveling long distances like to Xinjiang, try business class on a flight, they are usually not very expensive. Also in Guangxi Province you can take cruise ships from Guilin and have beautiful views on board. In some places you can even take a raft down the river. Another "attraction" you may visit is the metro going through an apartment in Chongqing and there is also China's deepest metro station. A few tips: if you have alipay set up on both of your phones you can take the metro with transport QR Code on Alipay so no need to buy a physical ticket. Also, it's a good idea to also set up wechat in case alipay doesn't work, and try to add cards from different banks as backup on alipay because sometimes it's the bank's fraud detection kicking in. In addition, Apple Maps is usually better than google maps in China. Apart from esim, you might still want to get a Chinese sim card since you are staying for 60days just to have a local phone number which can sometimes be handy. Have a wonderful trip in China!
About the not allow to open window and have to wait on plane on arrival... Seems like you landed in a Mil/Civ dual airfield... So you will be told not to open window curtain, and the half hour wait for clearance indicates there are military planes using the field at that moment.
@@OTWD_yt Nanning, the capital of Guangxi, and Yangshuo, Guilin, then head west to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang Town, Leishan County, Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, and then to Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province. Continuing westward to Yunnan Province, Kunming, Shangri La, Lijiang, Shaxi, and Dali. The scenery of these remote areas is completely different from that of Beijing, Shanghai, and Xiamen. One is a modern city made of steel and cement, and the other is a cultural small town that preserves its original scenery. Actually, it doesn't matter. It's also good to go to cities like Chengdu, Chongqing, and Xi'an, depending on personal preferences.
Awesome, so you can use the 6-day visa multiple times. I plan to visit a trade fair next year and live in BKK, so I can just coming back and going again. Also how was the 60-day visa process?
Yes you can use it multiple times. The process is pretty straightforward the visa office is about a 15 minute walk from nana bts. You need to apply online first. Are you a british passport holder?
Actually there is a HSR station underneath the airport, every 1 hour there is a high speed train to take passengers back and forth to Nanning train station, at around 15 min trip. if your wechat is OK, there is DIDI menu to call DIDI taxi, price at around 60 RMB to reach Nanning city center, 30% cheaper than normal taxi. however, it is ok to get in the shuttle, it takes 30 to 40 min to reach there.
So glad you’re trying to say the currency properly. Perhaps this will help: try saying “you aren’t “ without the “t” on the end so you say, “you arn” and it’ll be just about perfect. 👌 Next step, you’re very polite and have plenty of thank yous which is great ie shay shay. But it’d sound a bit more authentic if you pronounce it “see air, see eh” very quickly. Love you guys, your vlogs and love your accents. Close enough to Pompey. Keep it up and catch up on your next vid.
By the way, that’s about the limit to my knowledge of the language. So if anyone can improve on my attempt to romanize the Mandarin, please feel welcome. 🙏👍
Sleep trains always depart at evening, and arrive in the morning. Bullet trains always depart in the morning and arrived at evening. The are two type of bullet train in Chian: Fuxinghao has a speed to 350 km/hour, while Hexiehao can reach a speed of 250km, which is similar to the sleep train.
The inconsistency of the alipay could be due to your esim connections. It's better to get a physical temporary Sim card in China and It's very straightforward in all the major cities in China. Getting the physical s card, I mean.
You can get a two year multi entry visa easily from the uk? I’d never been before and took my application- was told the day it would be returned etc so much easier than having to keep applying
@@OTWD_yt so much easier you have to go face to face to the embassy - fill in all your stuff on line print it out and take it all with you with proof of hotels flights etc They check it in front of you take your payment and passport then tell you what date you will get it back They will stick the visa inside your passport Saves so much hassle !!
That watch, because China is not a duty free country, only the Hong Kong part is, so she checked it in case people smuggle in luxury goods without paying tax. No worry, usual stuff.
also im not too sure what to expect yet of the video, it probably started differently or its in a different format!? im just 10 mins in... but i approve of the longer than 10 min video XDD ive been watching the hutchinsons recently
We’re gonna be doing longer video’s in this series. So hope you enjoy it. The only reason for the shorter videos previously was due to time restrictions being only on a 6 day visa now we have longer to get more content the videos will be longer
10:15 maybe most smuggling commodities in China are luxurious watch. So she might mean if you didn't bring unopened and sealed watch, she wouldn't have to check it. Anyway, that's not a good experience
✨ Many years ago, my children, in 1996, there was a series of horrific terrorist bombings in Pakistan and the Phillipines where the bombs' timers used a wrist watch. That's why security was so concerned that 2 people had 3 watches!
there are not normal traveling cities for foreigners in China this time you visit, it's great.You would get quite different experience from other hot cities.
the watch thing maybe something to do with smuggling LOL lots of people smuggle black market items to and from!??? im just guessing though? was there proper translation?
Hi Ben, you can contact "Gweilo 60" who is from Canadian and lived in Nanning for almost 20 years. he is also youtuber, you can drink beer with him, he is a nice guy and very familar with Nanning. LOL
It’s likely because you have to pay tax on anything over a certain price. Most likely, if they think you may be selling in China, as foreign brand watches tend to be far less expensive abroad. I can’t remember the minimum price for them to require tax on the product though.
oh i think, I THINK theres a massive Costco or is it Sams Club in Nanning somewhere? BUT i have no idea where you are in Nanning or where Costco / Sams Club is in Nanning.... also dont know if you have to have a club membership or if it works in the UK etc maybe too much for you to do
@@OTWD_yt same layout, even bigger and better and more choice and variety... and actually now that i remember not sure if youre allowed to film in either or..... but it was from some other guys vid and i cant remember which place they went to and what was the reason as there has been plenty of people vlogging from costcos and sams club comparing... maybe thats the reson
Regarding the border management personnel asking about the watch, you only need to remember one thing, that is, they just want to confirm that you have not violated the purpose of travel. Because you are using a tourist visa, you are not allowed to engage in behavior other than tourism. For example purchasing on behalf of others.

new subscriber here! looking forward to your new videos from China!
Welcome aboard! ❤️
China is a country full of magic, and I have always wanted to travel.
Yes 💯💯❤️❤️
Nanning’s night market is very well-known in China.
Some of the few western people who are smart, undeterred and not brainwashed by the western media.
I’m so glad we are not! China is amazing. And all we want to do is show the world that.
Beijing Metro's the strictest. If you can handle Beijing Metro, you can handle any metros in China.
Yes definitely 👍
Love you two on a travel day ❤
Oh yes 👍 cant beat a travel day 😊
欢迎你们🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 😊
Hey guys you are both lucky that your still in asia
Hi Folks, what is the kanji character translation app your using?
Google translate works with a vpn
Have family in Nanning, been there many times. Not 2 - 3 million people, more like 7-9 million population.
Yes I know I correct myself in the next video. Keep watching
Hi There, welcome back to China, and welcome to my city Nanning. Hope you two have a great trip and have a lot of fun!
Thank you 😊
enjoy ur trip guys🥰
Thank you 😊
34:20 the lady in the restaurant said that one in the jar is pickle， and you thought was oak Choi ,which is lost in translation 🤣
Oh haha
Very interesting trip
Yes it was 😊
Amazing
Thanks ❤️
Closing the windows of the plane may be due to the presence of military sensitive areas on the ground
Yes I understand
In remote areas of China, there are some small cities that have not suffered too much industrial pollution, making them a great place for travel.
Any suggestions?
@@OTWD_yt Nanning, the capital of Guangxi, and Yangshuo, Guilin, then head west to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang Town, Leishan County, Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, and then to Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province. Continuing westward to Yunnan Province, Kunming, Shangri La, Lijiang, Shaxi, and Dali. The scenery of these remote areas is completely different from that of Beijing, Shanghai, and Xiamen. One is a modern city made of steel and cement, and the other is a cultural small town that preserves its original scenery. Actually, it doesn't matter. It's also good to go to cities like Chengdu, Chongqing, and Xi'an, depending on personal preferences.
One like from me. Hope this video gets 1,000 likes soon👍。
Looks like it’s happening 😳😂
Awesome, so you can use the 6-day visa multiple times. I plan to visit a trade fair next year and live in BKK, so I can just coming back and going again. Also how was the 60-day visa process?
Yes you can use it multiple times. The process is pretty straightforward the visa office is about a 15 minute walk from nana bts. You need to apply online first. Are you a british passport holder?
@@OTWD_yt Yep, from the UK
Since you guys love mixue so much, I'll try to help you to pronounce it correctly, it's mee-shoe-yea 😊
Like your videos btw, enjoy your adventures!
Thank you so much 😊
Karoke!!!!
It’s coming 🤣😳
Actually there is a HSR station underneath the airport, every 1 hour there is a high speed train to take passengers back and forth to Nanning train station, at around 15 min trip. if your wechat is OK, there is DIDI menu to call DIDI taxi, price at around 60 RMB to reach Nanning city center, 30% cheaper than normal taxi. however, it is ok to get in the shuttle, it takes 30 to 40 min to reach there.
Thank you 🙏
So glad you’re trying to say the currency properly.
Perhaps this will help: try saying “you aren’t “ without the “t” on the end so you say, “you arn” and it’ll be just about perfect. 👌
Next step, you’re very polite and have plenty of thank yous which is great ie shay shay.
But it’d sound a bit more authentic if you pronounce it “see air, see eh” very quickly.
Love you guys, your vlogs and love your accents. Close enough to Pompey. Keep it up and catch up on your next vid.
By the way, that’s about the limit to my knowledge of the language. So if anyone can improve on my attempt to romanize the Mandarin, please feel welcome. 🙏👍
Thank you by the way 😊
Sleep trains always depart at evening, and arrive in the morning. Bullet trains always depart in the morning and arrived at evening. The are two type of bullet train in Chian: Fuxinghao has a speed to 350 km/hour, while Hexiehao can reach a speed of 250km, which is similar to the sleep train.
Congrats getting your longer visa
Thanks! 😃
I am here in Nanning,welcome to Nanning.😄
So nice 😊 thank you
Great video
Thank you 😊
The inconsistency of the alipay could be due to your esim connections. It's better to get a physical temporary Sim card in China and It's very straightforward in all the major cities in China. Getting the physical s card, I mean.
Yes that is true 👍
You were fine. 20 yarns or yuans or yons.. 😁😁😁 we know what you were saying.
Haha il probably forget and switch back after 2 episodes 😂
You can get a two year multi entry visa easily from the uk?
I’d never been before and took my application- was told the day it would be returned etc so much easier than having to keep applying
Happy days we will be getting than when we’re home at Christmas. What way the price roughly Nicole?
@@OTWD_yt around £200 with delivery back to your house but worth it as it’s 90 day multi entry for two years 👍
@@NicolaSmith-fi7oi amazing thank you 😊
@@OTWD_yt so much easier you have to go face to face to the embassy - fill in all your stuff on line print it out and take it all with you with proof of hotels flights etc
They check it in front of you take your payment and passport then tell you what date you will get it back
They will stick the visa inside your passport
Saves so much hassle !!
Let’s go and do some singing for us 😂😂
😂😂😳
That watch, because China is not a duty free country, only the Hong Kong part is, so she checked it in case people smuggle in luxury goods without paying tax. No worry, usual stuff.
Usual stuff.
also im not too sure what to expect yet of the video, it probably started differently or its in a different format!? im just 10 mins in... but i approve of the longer than 10 min video XDD ive been watching the hutchinsons recently
We’re gonna be doing longer video’s in this series. So hope you enjoy it. The only reason for the shorter videos previously was due to time restrictions being only on a 6 day visa now we have longer to get more content the videos will be longer
@@OTWD_yt awesome stuff... jealous of you guys and the food!! and just everywhere being open like 24hrs!!!
10:15 maybe most smuggling commodities in China are luxurious watch. So she might mean if you didn't bring unopened and sealed watch, she wouldn't have to check it. Anyway, that's not a good experience
I understand
It has been 1.2 K like 😊
Looks like we’re doing it 😂
✨ Many years ago, my children, in 1996, there was a series of horrific terrorist bombings in Pakistan and the Phillipines where the bombs' timers used a wrist watch. That's why security was so concerned that 2 people had 3 watches!
Got ya.
there are not normal traveling cities for foreigners in China this time you visit, it's great.You would get quite different experience from other hot cities.
Can’t wait 😛
好期待你们60天中国之旅❤🇨🇳😊
😊😊❤️❤️
the watch thing maybe something to do with smuggling LOL lots of people smuggle black market items to and from!??? im just guessing though? was there proper translation?
She did really clarify. There was 2 watches in the bag and between 2 of us. I was wearing a watch too hardly an outlandish smuggler 😂
Have a good day.
Thank you 😊
Hi Ben, you can contact "Gweilo 60" who is from Canadian and lived in Nanning for almost 20 years. he is also youtuber, you can drink beer with him, he is a nice guy and very familar with Nanning. LOL
I don’t have a contract for him.
✨✨Nanning population is NINE million.
Yes I’ve corrected myself in the new video coming tomorrow 😊
@@OTWD_yt Was not correcting you, just wanted you to know it's really crowded! ✨
@@stevesenick got ya 👍
It’s likely because you have to pay tax on anything over a certain price. Most likely, if they think you may be selling in China, as foreign brand watches tend to be far less expensive abroad. I can’t remember the minimum price for them to require tax on the product though.
Fair enough 😊
oh i think, I THINK theres a massive Costco or is it Sams Club in Nanning somewhere? BUT i have no idea where you are in Nanning or where Costco / Sams Club is in Nanning.... also dont know if you have to have a club membership or if it works in the UK etc maybe too much for you to do
I’m not sure. Normally you need to be a member for Cisco but I don’t know how it works here
@@OTWD_yt same layout, even bigger and better and more choice and variety... and actually now that i remember not sure if youre allowed to film in either or..... but it was from some other guys vid and i cant remember which place they went to and what was the reason as there has been plenty of people vlogging from costcos and sams club comparing... maybe thats the reson
Look and Ben and his Ching-lish amazing. Thumbs up from me. Hope you get a 1000 likes. How about a RUclips short for your singing to avoid copywrites.
I believe this video had surpassed 1k likes now 😂😳
Karaoke 🎤 time, u got more than a thousand Likes ❤ 😂
😂😳
Regarding the border management personnel asking about the watch, you only need to remember one thing, that is, they just want to confirm that you have not violated the purpose of travel. Because you are using a tourist visa, you are not allowed to engage in behavior other than tourism. For example purchasing on behalf of others.
Yes I understand, they are just doing their job
