- What is traveling in China like in 2023? I traveled in China by train for the first time in 5 years and got a chance to stay in what is possibly one of the best luxury hotels in China, Ahnluh Lanting Shaoxing Hotel & Resort.

Wow, it's super modern. Amazing hotel and scenic views. 👍😊🇮🇪🇨🇳
It really is!
China is a safe and civilized country with clean streets, well-developed infrastructure, and advanced technology. Don’t listen to the Western media’s rumors and smear reports on China. It is precisely because the Western media has been spreading rumors to smear China that China blocks them. I think this is is correct.
Yep,In Chinese Taoist tradition, it is best for a house to open the door to the mountain, accompanied by the road and water-开门见山，伴路及水, which is why it is a five-star hotel, not only for interior decoration, but also for mood creation.
门对青山水长流 荣华富贵不断头
What a beautifully restored place. Nice to know that China is preserving its ancient structures while building new ones at lightening speed.
I'm from China myself. Very few ancient sites are original as most have been damaged or demolished during Cultural Revolution or other political turmoil. What you see nowadays are mostly replicas.
@@ginrichgalore8278胡说八道
Go to their museum, almost everything is a replica.
stop being COMMUNIST!!!
you said you are a hong konger, being a hongkonger needs to know the truth about the communist government.
if you follow them, we'll start calling you a mainlander because the government tells you "your not a hongkonger", and the second then they say, "you are a mainlander" and so on.
are you on ourside(hongkongers) or not?
if you are a hongkonger and supports 🖐👆, please delete the chinese part of your username, we are willing to be called hongkongers, and we don't deserve to be called Chinese
a fellow hongkonger,

Wow, this hotel looks so beautiful-elegant with tranquil surroundings. I can definitely see how the owner justifies the high nightly rate, as it looks like you have the entire place to yourself! Despite you had been away for five years, you are a pro as far as navigating in China is concerned. BTW, nice interview with Alex in iChongqing the other day.🙂
thank you!

BTW, Purple is YOUR COLOUR!
Always exciting to see your new blogs; BE WELL, STAY HAPPY!

I love watching your vlogs and this one is no exception ! Thank your for uploading 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your best friend never forgets about you. You lucky they take care of you. ❤
Love this hotel's style. Thank you for showing it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am making the 200th comment just to appreciate the beauty of China that includes the architecture and nature too. Of course I need to appreciate Kaja for sharing this trip with us.
Thank you! I always appreciate your kind words 🙏🏼
I had to look up Shaoxing to know where you were. It is always nice to visit with friends when traveling. I have not been to the Shanghai area. Maybe next trip. Nice video.
Very nice! I stayed once at the Peninsula in Beijing and it was a very good hotel. There is many beautiful hotels in China and some of them are quite over the top. I remember one 5 star hotel in Lijiang that had gold plated sinks and toilets. Hopefully you will visit Yunnan - as it's the most scenic province. Enjoy and thanks for the vlog🤗
yess Yunnan is definitely on my list! I love their food ;D
@@KajaKubicka I have been to China several times and I don't generally love their food, but I loved it in Yunnan. So many fresh dishes and not deep fried ones. So many dishes with mushrooms, that we - the people from Poland - love.
@@ZyciewKanadzieAnitaBeataVlogif you ask the chef don’t cook their mushrooms well you will see dwarfs dancing after the dinner 😂
@@DaddyBear205 🍄🤪🥴
@@ZyciewKanadzieAnitaBeataVlog that's a very famous joke in China .(红伞伞白杆杆，吃完一起躺板板,that warns you mushrooms must be fully cooked ) , so in Yunnan , all the mushrooms should be fully cooked or that will be illegal .
You are so lucky to be where you are!
I know!
Goodness ！the hotel is pretty nice and very Chinese style I love it ❤
Great video! Keep up with the good work 👍👍👍
Thank you!
I am in NanNing,China ,cloud tourism through the eyes of a foreigner and practise listening ,like your videos
Kaja sis.
Great video ❤.
I really appreciate it ❤
❤️🇨🇳
....
thank you!
Wow, the floor space of your hotel rooms is bigger than my house!!!
The hotel is an interesting blend of traditional and modern.
Traveling around China is one of the best things you can do, if you have the time to do it of course. You get a better perspective of the country.
You may not see that many foreign tourists traveling to China anymore, because of all the anti China propaganda going on in western countries. Everyone in western countries now think China is evil. It's unfortunate, but that's the reality of things now.
The hotel is so elegant and unique, wow! You really have some great taste.❤
Relax and live a relaxed life. Don't think too much. When you first returned to China recently, your thoughts were too much, and some extreme thoughts were driving you around. I hope you don't think too much, open up your interests and thoughts, and live a relaxed life.
haha I will TRY! ;)
u traveled to my hometown! wish u a good time in shaoxing.
Wow, this video you are in my Hometown!I mean, the real home town ,you are in my town!
Thank you for travelling to new locations in China.😅
More to come!
You are so lucky! Will die for 杨梅😊
❤enjoy your trip.
❤️🙏🏼
杨梅is the berry you ate. We have it in Fujian; I like to eat that but have not had a chance for decades.
Pretty, use a Mavic 3 Mini drone to shoot some aerial view & that will enhance your video.Keep up the hard work.
You ressemble an Ausralian actress from the the film Picnic at Hanging Rock party on Kaja !
Kaja, I start to follow your channel again. 😂
Welcome back! ;)
What an experience, the room is a bit too big for me to stay by myself, I would be scared. So tranquil!! I will want to stay there just for the experience but with more people in my room, any mosquitoes? I am super loved by the mosquitoes so anywhere close to water is scary for me, I stayed at a Chinese style hotel in Xian next to the park, that was like 15 years ago fancy hotel right in the middle of the city and there was like near a lake, most high end hotels are fair better than the ones in the West, I stayed at the Ritz in Europe and it doesn’t feel that special, for the price point u get a better deal in Asia especially China

Super cool
Was thinking go to China Feb 2024. But, the airfares from SFO to Hong Kong on premium econ is like $2500.00! It costed $1100.00 back in 2019! This is too expensive! Hopefully Singapore airlines will have better deal on Black Friday. I will take a long route to Hong Kong if I can get discounted tickets😄
从泰国转机
I arrived 2 hours earlier than planned at Beijing South High Speed Train Station and decided to change to earlier train it took me around 10 seconds on my handphone ALIPAY (with which I bought the earlier ticket) to do the change with only one question asked: "This train Leaves in 30 minutes, are you sure you have enough time to catch it?"; click "Continue" and Wa La: DONE AND NO CHARGE.
Chinese residents only need a QR code to board the train and do not need a ticket. I don't know if foreigners are allowed.
@@user-oj1im4xi5qdon't need paper ticket, just show your passport.
Simply jaw dropping to look at the timber work and details of the hotel and its architecture
I know right!
Such a class
It is called 杨梅, yangmei.
My family grow them in the mountains.
In the past, foreigners could not directly use ID cards like Chinese people when taking trains, because China has made rapid progress, so now foreigners can directly use passports instead of paper tickets when taking trains.
I will go to China this week 😊
very nice!
thank you!
It’s so safe more more than us uk❤
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Chinese Hotel is elegant and beautiful. Also nice people . But, people need grow more for China Image to the World.
Hi kaja china is a great country ❤🥰😍😘💋 very nice place
Hi great video. Which country are you from
welcome to my hometown, Shaoxing, a old city on the water
thank you!
Were ticket sales hectic? Worried that my reserved ticket won't happen and I'll find out with a day to go
Nice and elegant hotel
Excellent resort hotel worth $800 per night. May be no European (white people) in sight, but for sure many Asian tourist like Japanese, Korean, Indonesian...they blend well with local. The reason less European tourist because their economic are in bad shape and Air line is so expensive. I used to get cheap flight from North America for about $700 return, now I just paid $2400 return ticket to Shanghai, here I come to China in next month.
OMG😊I know this hotel but i cant afford it. how much for the afternoon tea setup and dinner?
So, you have a wonderful time traveling in China. As a foreigner, how do you purchase train tickets online, pay for Didi Taxi, and eat at restaurants? Do you have WeChat Pay or AliPay to facilitate your phone payment? How do foreigners traveling in China for a few weeks open a bank account, get a phone number, and tie them to WeChat?
you cannot open a bank account in China if you're only traveling here for a couple of weeks, so therefore you cannot have wechatpay etc :)
@@KajaKubickaI have seen somewhere that indicates WeChat can link to visa now

very very beautiful hotel , but very expensive as well. it should be $500 each night at least I think, mabe more
There are literally 1.4 billion people who basically travel China.
Your title is misleading. Many foreigners travel and live in China.
🎉🎉🎉
That is because everybody is saying on the internet that country is now officially the world’s most hated country on earth. I don’t think that is a true statement although the entire world’s media is literally tearing them up apart left right top down center like hell daily. Really pity them
Nah mostly just the anglo media.
Nah, the whole world love China and hate UAss. Except the wester media, who are simply liars.
I love the hotel
it was soo nice!
nice
你的两个背包，看起来好像防弹衣的啊！看得出来视频拍摄非常辛苦，点赞致敬！
Hi-quality channel
suppop kaja
Have you ever tried China's Luckin Coffee?
Yess ofc! :)
Which vpn did you use
thanks for exposing the truth.
Here in San Francisco, it took the government over 2 years working on 19th Ave road constructions and replacing the water and sewage pipes. It is still not done now and will take another year probably. They are blocking traffic everyday. It would take them 100 years to move the traditional building to another place.
😂What a joke 🤣
👍👍👍🙏🙏
Just curious, which VPN works best in China? I want to be more prepared for the next China travel. It's been horrible without my everyday Apps.
I suggest that you don’t come to China, it's not very convenient for not traveling in China nowadays.
she is one of the propagandists.
@@TheMrSquirrel I hear the airline ticket prices are crazy high.
@@spin3sixty cuz the zero COVID policy, the flights reduce a lot, so that the price hikes
But a lots of HK people and children go to travel in China right now after 3 years! Most foreigners haven't go to trip in China right now and is a lot of HK and Macau tourist than the foreigners (including Taiwan).travel to China.
They live in China because it is cheaper. But China counts HK and Macau people as tourists every time they go to their home to sleep 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In Shanghai, there is a hotel of the same type, higher class than this one, a real luxury hotel, Aman Hotel, which is also more than double the price of this one.
浙江绍兴吗？
Are you able to set up wechat or alipay without a Chinese bank account? I heard there is tour pass in alipay but not sure if that still works
noo you cannot have wechat pay without Chinese bank account if that's what you mean ;/
Good news for travelers to China: Alipay could use a foreign bank Visa card this month. And wechat pay will also available for foreign Visa card.
@@phil6445this is exactly what i wanted to share with foreigners.
I saw the news two days ago 😂 you can now
I heard starting from July 1st 2023, WeChat started to allow foreign bank accounts link to WeChat pay, not sure how that works since it’s only a few days from July 1st.
2:03 Danish passport ? ❤
how much you get paid from ccp ?
0:34 "Peso pluma"?
Are u good behaving??
👏👏👏👏👏👍
Why that lady in ur title picture was despising u

1. Flight cost is three times more expensive than the time before the COVID.
2. Foreigners can't use phone payment system will make everything much more difficult in China.
3. Only limited hotels in the city can allow foreigners to stay.
1. More high speed trains are available than the time before covid. 2. Cash has to be accepted by law, foreigners can always use cash, if rejected, you can file a complaint, the merchants who refused to take cash will be penalized. 3 You’re right, not all hotels want to increase their costs to get the license to serve foreigners, it requires those hotels to maintain higher standard of safety and hygiene. Decades ago, many better hotels didn’t allow local people to stay, but that changed as the economy grows and local people started to have the ability to pay.
about 2, China recently allowed foreign credit card payment.
@@christinalin5658 I was talking about the international flight ticket, not the high speed train, lol
@@fallenflower101 Still not working, I just tried.
Hotels are a big problem now. I used to book anyway and they always ignored fact that I am foreigner. Then recently they don't allow to stay in hotels at all. I tried old trick few times, but they will cancel anyway. Seems punishment is too high for hosting a foreigner. So, either I need to stay in a tent or on a park bench, or need to plan my trip so that before night time I can get back to some big city.
If I can, China will be the first country I will visit.
Post covid china is unfortunately different than pre covid china..
China is beautiful Country, nice people and well developed City beside, country side. But, most of Chinese people need grow more. Also, manners etc. May need another 15 years to become first Citizen in the World.
You looks like Roosevelt Eleanor
nonsense title. which village did you come from? It is far safer than most of its neigbour countries, East Europe, Africa, Latin, many parts of US, some places of UK,......
So many tourists been to China and still not enough time to travel around huge China places with massive cultures.
800 Chinese Yuan or US Dollar ?
dollars
really expensive but worth it!
@@KajaKubicka too expensive ,much more than i expected. my home town is shaoxing,if had u contacted with me early,maybe u could get it at a lower price.
我記得我爺爺的家也是這樣的，在廣東，但是現在沒有人住，已經被自然腐蝕破壞得很差了，幾乎看不到原來的樣子，其實很傷心
在潮汕凤凰镇乡下也见过无人的大宅，虽然破败了，还看得出原来的气派。
I will never go there..
You just see the façades and give your opinion.
