Be careful when you are in China. It is the scam capital of the world. In every cash transaction, watch out for fake bills in return. My colleagues were cheated by a taxi driver who took their 100 rmb bill, switched with a fake bill, then said theirs was fake and demanded another. He did this three times.
There's another very beautiful place to go in Beijing, and the airplay will be very, very high when you guys go there. The place is called Yuanmingyuan, I don't think any foreign RUclipsr has been there yet
As a Chinese, I was touched watching your videos. many foreign vloggers travel to China mostly with the mindset of curiosity, but in your videos, I can feel your respect and love for Chinese culture. Thank you for coming to experience our country which is both historical and modern. Wish you good luck in your trip and discover more of China's splendor!
Wow! The Great Wall looks incredibly majestic even just from watching your videos. Can't imagine how amazing it must be to see it in person! Thank you for making this video - it's very professional and heartwarming, even better than some films company
The white rabbit candy is my favorite. It has 80 years history and it was once used as nation-level gift to presidents and VIPs. Welcome to China! Love your video！
I want to say it is only in China, that if someone takes your phone, they are trying to take a photo for you, and you won't be scared or think you are being robbed. Enjoy your time in China. If you want to understand China 2,000 years ago, you must come to Xi'an.
Not really. Only the terracotta warriors are 2000 years old - there's nothing else in Xi'an that's that old. And Xi'an doesn't have many ancient buildings in the city. It's not an attractive city for history buffs.
@@lingfengge6666 Besides the Terracotta Warriors, there is the Banpo matriarchal clan, and even further back, the Lantian ancients. Of course, too many ancient relics no longer exist. But to understand the rich history of a country or a civilization, it is not just about what you can see now. More importantly, it is the way that the cultural and historical heritage of thousands of years has brought to this city and the people living there, and the subtle historical accumulation, which is not available in other cities. So let me ask you a question, except for Xi'an, the ancient capital of 13 dynasties in ancient China, which other city is more suitable for understanding the culture and history of China at its most glorious time?
I visited china in 1994 and looking back, it reminds me of my old memories back in the day, today I was fascinated of how much china has changed throughout the years.
In my opinion, the girl is really beautiful, more beautiful than many Hollywood female stars, and you two are also very educated. I love you both. Welcome to China.
I lived in Beijing from 2017 for 2 years it was amazing, I miss it so much.. Badaling was the first part of the wall I visited too, but I visited 3 another parts too and camped out to watch the sun rise ❤
This brings back such great memories of when I took my daughter Monica to the Great Wall on our way back to San Francisco from Chiang Mai in 2018! I had a broken foot when we visited, but I still climbed quite a bit and it was amazing!
I had the same emotional experience on the Great Wall. At first I was sceptical. What was so great about just some bricks stacked upon each other. But when I stepped on the wall, I felt the thousands years of history right beneath my feet, that realization humbled me and send goosebumps down my spine in amazement

Have watched your videos for a very long time eversince your trip to Malaysia but never subscribe all these time. Seeing you guys filled with so much happiness, almost childlike, walking on the Great Wall of China is just so wonderful and the kindness of the Chinese people. It's just heart warming...had to subscribed 😄😄😄 Wish i can be there one day!

Personally for me the best time to go to the great wall is in the winter because it's the cold offset your body heat walking and climbing the stairs. Imagine doing it on a hot day, probably can't cover much ground with a lot of sweating and heat.
Congratulations to you guys to heads Beijing, China this weekend in great joy & peace to tours many amazing places on the streets with thousands of Chinese people, great buildings,restaurants,stores, shops,etc. in 2024❤❤❤

as a chinese person living in beijing, I feel like one of the best traditional drinks is Bean Soup(juice) it might smell bad, but will taste extremely good. Hope everyone tries this out!
Great lovely couple, awesome epic amazing beautiful content, the narration is super interesting fun informative as well, thank you so much for the high definition quality videos, love these China series so much, enjoy your stay and welcome to China ❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉
When I was taking Geography lesson in England as a 15 yr old international student from Beijing, I was shocked about the content was all about country sides in 30yrs ago , and my classmates asked me if I have ever seen fridge and TV... I felt speechless about the Geography material they used.
If the people in the world were all similar to you guys, positive, fair, loving and most importantly truthful, I can't imagine how beautiful the world would have been!!!
@@MacrosFTW like they said in the video if a person does 20km/day, will need more than 1000 days to complete. I think there is no one that dedicated to spend ~3 years of their life to do that but that would be an idea though 😁 I am also thinking about the logistic of food, are you trekking on the wall like as a tourist or somewhere under it but not on the wall because how much would you pay for 3 years or tickets to trek on the wall, etc.
I used to study in the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, and the compus location is just like surrounded by the great wall, it's super amazing.
Welcome to Beijing, China this weekend in great joy after visiting several Asian countries for the past few months in June of 2024❤❤❤I wish you guys the Best in peace 2024❤❤❤
You visited this country with respect and embraced its culture wholeheartedly. Your video is filled with deep sentiment and appreciation. Thank you for being a thoughtful and sincere visitor! Watching your travel vlog is such a pleasure!
It’s really been so moved to me for watching your video as Chinese audiences and we really see a different China and Great Wall through a very different perspective of you guys as foreigners. Thank you so much for your video, I’m really proud of my country. Hope you enjoy your time in China and try to explore more and more different places.
This is so much fun to watch. Beijing is even more beautiful in late summer and fall, the Fragrant Hill, the Summer Palace, Beihai Park, and tons of museums. Flag raising ceremony in the square is also a must see in Beijing.
Hi guys, welcome (back) to China and just share you vlog with my thousands of friends and followers in Linkedin, the professional networking and platform. Greetings from Suzhou, northwest Shanghai, China
Welcome to Beijing, China this weekend in great joy & peace with great buildings, restaurants, hotels, shops, etc. in June of 2024❤❤❤I wish you guys safe journeys in peace 2024❤❤❤
I had a Chinese friend in Australia who also encountered this problem. The hotel could not accommodate him. The reason was: the Chinese government believed that only hotels that met certain comfort standards could accommodate foreign guests. Therefore, hotels needed to obtain certification, just like the standards of 3-star and 4-star hotels.
For foreign friends who haven't been to the Great Wall: skip Badaling and go to Mutianyu instead. It's less crowded, has beautiful scenery, and is much more interesting.
The Greatwall has been renovated to suits tourist and elderly. My 1st visit during 1999 the staicase is very high/steep and my 2nd visit was in 2017 whereby they have change it to tourist and elderly friendly staircase. The non-renovated strech is the ancient original brick which have the ancient achitecture feeling to it. ❤
You two are so cute! The only thing is maybe don't munch on the ice of the Great Wall (or whatever attraction it is) next time, because the maker of the ice might be that kitty lol! This video is making me homesick in the UK. Also, I really recommend going to Hangzhou, my hometown, for a visit if you have time, it is absolutely beautiful, extremely green, very modern and you will love it.
Beijing (literally north capital) became the capital in 1421 under the order of Ming dynasty's third Emperor Zhu Di, also known as Yongle, before that the capital was in Nanjing (literally south capital), Zhu di built the capital in Beijing closely to the great wall to defend the northern border, where the mongols were frequently invading and causing havoc in the north. Zhu Di was famously quoted "The Emperor shall defend the border himself"
Beijing was the capital of the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368), a Chinese dynasty led by Mongols, too. The city was literally the center of the world at that time.
@@directxxxx71 yuan was not widely regarded a “Chinese” dynasty by most Chinese, both due to its cultural differences and its short-lived 80 years reign
Great video, love from Shenzhen, obviously you did homework before you visit China. it's amazing.

Nice video! I went to the forbidden city recently, brought my big Olympus camera, rode videomic pro and a Joby tripod. No big issues. One guard didn't like my tripod, but once I argued that everyone else brought umbrellas without issues it was fine. The umbrellas were after all quite a bit larger than my small tripod 😀
Peking and Beijing are the same name written in Chinese 北京 ( mean Northern capital) The reason why name change in english is Mandarin became the official language in China during the 1950's. Peking is probably the cantonese pronounciation of the city.
Mandarin can play an important role in facilitating rapid communication and understanding among Chinese people from different regions. Beijing is not only pronounced as Peking and Beijing, but also as Baqin in Hubei
@@cktango3951 Beijing used to be called Beiping, and Chinese people called it Jingcheng. British people were ignorant and uncivilized, and they called it Beijing. They drew maps blindly and called place names randomly. Chinese people nowadays don't care about these things, just call them convenient, this is the personality of Chinese people.
Most of China's early engagement and trade was done in the south eastern parts of China, ie Guangzhou( Canton ) and Macau. The language barrier was mostly translated by the Cantonese. So early years of all things China was in phonetic tonal Cantonese spelling in English, pinyin. Like OP said, until Mandarin became the official Chinese language the change didn't take place. All were just phonetic pronunciation adjustments, names are the same.
What an excellent travel log from such a charming couple! You’re warm, kind, and entertaining. Your videos are insightful and well-edited. Thank you for giving us an authentic view of what China is really like.
The Forbidden City has 9999 rooms for 2 reasons , first thing is that 9 is end of number, 9999 is a showcase of power ; 10000 is consider some kind of perfection that itself is a symble of the heaven , so 10000-1 is the showcase of humble towards the heaven.
Hi guys...I have watched so many blogs of this wonder but yours beat it all by a long way. Love the insert of Nelson..you nailed it !!! You guys are awesome ..with that infectious laughter and personality Shev, it is no wonder you are loved. Continue to enjoy your trip in my motherland...catch you in the next..
Fantastic to see the Great Wall through your eyes guys, thank you. Finally some videoing that shows the height of the steps and the steepness of the wall in places. I did it in my late 60's and my legs were like jelly on downward walk. Yes, loved the railings..lol Well done taking the taboggan !
Before visiting Beijing, you even researched some background of traditional Chinese architecture, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall, that's so cool! Because Beijing is not so easy to understand for a little knowledge visitor. By the way, the Great Wall is indeed stunning.
Don't tell me you guys only spent 2 hours in the forbidden city complex! I hope you went into some of the buildings on the sides and saw some of the treasures on display in there.
Fantastic show as always! I think my wife and I are both very jealous normally it is me who has travelled the most! You didn't include much food in this show!

thank you both. nice video.
Those drone-like videos taken from the Great Wall of China were awesome! Simply wow! 👍🏼
The Forbidden City has 9999 rooms for 2 reasons , first thing is that 9 is end of number, 9999 is a showcase of power ; 10000 is consider some kind of perfection that itself is a symble of the heaven , so 10000-1 is the showcase of humble towards the heaven.
Hi guys...I have watched so many blogs of this wonder but yours beat it all by a long way. Love the insert of Nelson..you nailed it !!! You guys are awesome ..with that infectious laughter and personality Shev, it is no wonder you are loved. Continue to enjoy your trip in my motherland...catch you in the next..
Fantastic to see the Great Wall through your eyes guys, thank you. Finally some videoing that shows the height of the steps and the steepness of the wall in places. I did it in my late 60's and my legs were like jelly on downward walk. Yes, loved the railings..lol Well done taking the taboggan !

Thank you for your objective evaluation. I hope you have fun in China. I also welcome you to my hometown Shanghai again.

Before visiting Beijing, you even researched some background of traditional Chinese architecture, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall, that's so cool! Because Beijing is not so easy to understand for a little knowledge visitor. By the way, the Great Wall is indeed stunning.
Thoroughly enjoyed your beautifully narrated and edited vlog. Informational and immersive. Thanks for sharing your experience!❤
The ladies who you took pictures with and gave you guys candies are from Hunan province❤
Mooi dag vir n stappie op die Great Wall van Sjina! Geniet dit. Dankie vir die video
This young couple has produced one of the most exciting videos. They make us so happy.
Don't tell me you guys only spent 2 hours in the forbidden city complex! I hope you went into some of the buildings on the sides and saw some of the treasures on display in there.
Just realized that this video was posted only 7 hours ago. Great video! Looking forward the Chongqing one!
It will be different vibe if you visit in winter (Snow White. But very cold) and autumn (beautiful leaves).
Breathtaking scenes of Great Wall👍👍👍
Do you know how long i waited for this new video!!!! finally
yay!!! Haha we hope you enjoy it 🥰
Looks that you'd gone to Beijing during the May Golden Week, one of the busiest travel seasons in China. But you kept up a good spirit! Subscribed!
不是5月的北京，是冬天。5月的北京已经比较温暖了，树已经很绿了。
One of the best videos ive seen that captures the essence of the Great Wall of China. Amazing
Fantastic show as always! I think my wife and I are both very jealous normally it is me who has travelled the most! You didn't include much food in this show!
