“少不入蜀，老不出川” is actually used to describe Chengdu as a place where the atmosphere between people is suitable for people to live, but not for development. Because there are so many good food and fun things to do in this place, young people who come to this place will easily wear out their motivation and become mediocre. And if an older person comes here, then he can retire in Chengdu in a very relaxed environment, at ease.
one of the best things about living in China/Asia is you can get alcohol from any corner stores/convinient shops but you don't have drunk cxnts chanting and wandering on streets in the middle of the night, which is so vastly different from most western cities
and in most places, you can just pop a beer open and sip in the street in absolute peace. Public drunkenness is rare. Drinking related crimes is plain unheard of.
@@darkhalo153 actually as Chinese, i do not agree with this. Getting drunk on the street wont make you “lose face” at all. And this type of drunk guys can be easily spotted in Japan, at late night. Most chinese people like to drink with friends at the dining tables, so if they are drunk, they’d be drunk there and get taken care of by their companions, instead of just aimlessly wandering around on the streets.
I am your fans, and I came to China because of watching your videos for several years. Thank you very much for introducing the real China.Before coming to China, the media coverage on China l had come across was usually negative.Many people in my country including me mistakenly believed that China was a poor country, where there was only oppression without freedom.But when l came to China, l found China is AMAZING! l dare say China is better than the West in many ways.Modernization, convenience, hospitality, safety, all of these has left a positive impression on me. So l told my families and friends that it was only after I came to China l deeply appreciated how excellent China has developed.
Thank you so much for this. Chengdu is the city where my mother had her last year of horrah before marrying my Dad. I always thought of it as a place of a young woman’s independence. She has always told me it’s a verdant and relaxing places and indeed when I finally visited, I was happy and at peace. Would love to visit again and Mom will be so happy to see the city of her youth (we all have a place like that don’t we?) through your beautiful lens.
Couldn't have a better relaxing video than this. I can almost feel what you are feeling. Amazingly, it's all found in the middle of a bustling city of huge porportions.
The small filter cup in the black tea cup is to prevent the black tea from being soaked in hot water for too long and cause the tea to be too strong. Steep it for a while, put it in the lid of the cup, drink it, and put it in again when the cup is refilled.
I super liked this video! It was a relaxing, cool, plus your funny awkward moments haha 😂 and I want to highlight the editing and visuals of this video is 💯! Thanks for this video, Jack and Nico! 😊
Chengdu is on my list for my upcoming China discovery in near future! I cannot wait to visit! Once again we’ll done for your beautiful videos Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
can't believe it,such a amazing videos author have just 60k followers, I sincerely hope that you can become a million-level video author, because you are worth it
I’ve been watching your channel for a while now.. I must say, your videos are incredible! Your content is interesting and high qualified! Keep up the amazing work!
when I listen to you talking in the background, i feel like Im watching a tv show from the UK like escape to the country/come dine with me... I love the way you speak (your UK accent and your tone). Thanks for beautiful videos :) I also like how you guys dress up - definitely UK street style which brings me back to London street haha :)
Chengdu is a lovely city that I have visited for three times in the past form the States. I will visit again in the near future.!!!🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩😘😘💖💖💖❤❤❤🧡🧡🧡
Its almost too chill, the drivers barely want to find the right spot they'll just leave you anywhere in the vague area lol, compared to Chongqing taxis who think they are in Need For Speed lol. I love Chengdu though, best city for hip hop in China. We partied so much I lost some brain function hahaha. Flat and easy to navigate unlike CQ. But on the flipside, CQ's scenery is much more astonishing and beautiful.... But man I get MAD trying to find GPS markers there. God I miss Sichuan so much, your videos are well made, a good balance of landscape and yourselves talking, casual, conversational and not generic location choices. Helps me stay connected with some of the best days of my life.
Of all the cities in China, I love Chengdu, like, a lot. Wuhou Shrine is nice, but the shrines and gardens in Suzhou are next level. Wait till you get to Suzhou 😀
We love Chengdu as well definitely one of our favourites. We’ve been to Suzhou but we went in the summer and it was too hot I think we need to go again.
Thanks! Erm nope actually we’ve released 9 videos since we took a month off in December 🤣 guess they’ve not been popping up on your feed. We did cut down our posting to every other week instead of every week though.
🤣🤣 i really enjoy your video. so natural, so honest, fun and yet the way you cut the scene is very much on point. thank you for making such beautiful journey. (pls add little guide in the end, like food detail and price, recommendation etc) ❤ love from Indonesia mate
You have discovered the secret of a comfortable life in China that is to constantly explore different scenery and food.Chengdu is close to Tibet, and western Sichuan is a very different place, compared with other places in China.Xinduqiao, Daocheng Aden and Jiuzhaigou will give you very different experiences.
Hey Nico and the good ole Historian Chap: How's going? It's one & only Double 0 Zero here from New England area of the States. You guys are awesome, we love your VLOGS and just subscribed as well! Are you still in china by the way?
Bike rental is super cheap on various apps. I’m not sure how it works if you don’t live in China and have a Chinese back account but if you do then it’s only like 20p a ride.
It is recommended that you live in SHU NAN, where there are more typical and ancient Chinese courtyards and buildings, as well as the unique bamboo forest environment

May i check if i take noon flight from singapore to chengdu,reach mid evening,do you suggest stay near airport first or go stay in city area but by the time reach there around midnight
as a chinese guy who grew up in toronto (where jamaican slang is common) hearing a white/british guy say "big mandems" in a chinese garden/temple was so surreal 😆
No we are currently travelling. This was recorded before we left. We knew we wouldn’t be back for a while but didn’t want to leave you guys without any content throughout the year! 😊
@@madisonmelvin8817 Thank you so much! We are planning to start a new channel soon with our trips from New Zealand and Indonesia but we just need to find the time to edit them as still working on China content too haha
agree, don't get trapped by the fancy looking western food places - many of them change the way how the food is cooked and served in order to accommodate Chinese people's taste buds and their special "needs" for a "good looking" meal experience. Drink is no exception - for example, many cafes make weird coffee drinks by adding way too many things into a coffee - pretty much like how a bubble tea/milk tea is made. Anyway, just a personal thought - I'm not saying ALL those food places are like that by the way. Enjoy ur local adventure in whichever city you go to, and of course embrace the local food which is worth your time :)
It's really easy in China for ehailing and taxis. It depends on what you do. If you go to tea houses and eat local noodles it would be less than ¥50 but if you go to tourist sites then it would be more. Chengdu is quite reasonably priced though.
Those old people with long-barrelled cameras are actually photographing birds, that is their hobby as a form of entertainment for the elderly after retirement and those who are well off will spend a lot of money on equipment.

is it easy to find taxi or ehailing in the city? and how much approximately to spend for a day?
