Although China has a large population, it is very orderly, with everything well-organized. It is so neat, clean, and beautiful, unlike many countries in the world where a large population leads to chaos. This includes the United States, which often faces many crimes and issues with homelessness. The subway system in the U.S. is often described as dirty and disorganized, a point frequently mentioned by Americans.
In China, some areas retain the architectural features of the previous time, but you can look in the cities, it's all brand new buildings.
Biden said: "You are a liar, America just needs freedom, freedom, freedom"
Foreigners are often confused, yes, the first class is a bit more spacious than the second class, but the business class is the best on high-speed trains, you can really lie down and sleep, only a few seats per carriage,If the city has a subway, it is recommended to choose a hotel near the subway station to stay, so you will save a lot of time
not just foreigners, it can be confusing for locals too who aren't used to it. it's a bit different for train classes. a better naming system in English should be "Executive", "Class 1", "Class 2". since hotel "executive floors" aren't called "business class", but they're the same in Chinese.
You guys are the most well travelled westerners in China, looks like you are going to cover 100 cities 😅, great job and thanks for sharing your experiences.👍😂 I wish you will visit Harbin, Dandong (a city opposite North Korea), Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang in the future.
新疆已经去了
Tiger Hill is a bit far from where all the traditional gardens and the center of the city. But you may take a boat ride from Tiger Hill to ShangTang Street (山塘街). The ride is very beautiful.
In addition to what people have already suggested, you should consider visiting 网师园 at night, where 6 forms of traditional local music are performed (sampled). It’s a very unique experience, even for Chinese people from other regions.
SuZhou is famous for well maintained traditional and historical family gardens where famous Chinese writers, poets, interlectures, and retired government officials…had lived comfortably and created long lasting arts and literatures.
I think the most famous thing of suzhou is the traditional gardens. Make sure you go to their gardens there. You'll find different beautiful scenery there.
By the way，Suzhou is also famous for its delicious crab. Now october is the best season to eat crab. You can try the crab, if you don't mind. I think most restaurants there have crabs on the menu during these days.
There is the paradise up in heaven, there are Suzhou Hangzhou down on earth.
You should also try the fresh water crabs, a local speciality!
You guys need to see the old Suzhou town as well as the modern city centre.
welcome to my hometown. Yes, you are not in the area showing the typical Suzhou. You should go to the city center Where the old city is located. You can go to Suzhou industrial park in the east area. It is called industrial park but it is actually the most modern area.
Oh lovely Suzhou. My son will start Uni next year there. He loved China when we lived there and wants to go back so badly. 🥰
欢迎回来
@@DavidHao-yo2zu 谢谢 😊
You guys can spend half day visiting Humble Administrator's Garden, Suzhou Museum & Prince Zhong’s mansion (the mansion is connected to Suzhou Museum and free for visitors if I remembered correctly). In the afternoon, take a walk at Shantangjie or Ping Jiang Road to feel the epitome of ancient Suzhou. The food in this video is more like szechuan food. Make sure to try some authentic local food! Authentic Morning Noodles at local noodle restaurants for breakfast.
The man in the restaurant was listing different styles of Chinese cuisine to you to prove the abundance of Chinese food.
Thank you for being my eyes!
From a Chinese guy who has never been to Suzhou 😂😂😂😂
去过一次，那里街上特别香，桂花香
@@DavidHao-yo2zu 国庆后正是桂花慢慢都开了，现在已经能闻到桂花香了
The handheld translator is amazingly good. Translation quality is excellent.
Love you guys! Have a wonderful trip in China!!😆
Welcome to Suzhou, my hometown which is one of the most beautiful cities in China
❤️❤️❤️❤️
你多介绍一些菜馆和名菜吧
@@TwoMadExplorers Suzhou is famous for its noodles you need to try it you can go to the shiquan street there are many good noodles restaurants there and the song he Lou on the Guanqian street is very famous Suzhou traditional restaurant and there is a famous dish called the squirrel fish you should have a try.
@@TwoMadExplorerssonghelou 松鹤楼 is recommended
@@starrystarry-j3d 让我想起了斯丹康
Love watching your travel videos! Luke and Naomi! 👍👍👍🤟🤟🤟✌✌✌
❤❤❤ from Malaysia again
finally seeing you guys in suzhou. i highly recommend suzhou museum, which was designed by the late great architect IM Pei
Wow, you are in Suzhou now! Please Wuxi, just about 15 mins by express train from Suzhou. Another interesting city.
Tomorrow I'll go to Suzhou toooo! Have a gooood trip ! 😁
Welcome to China! I really like you couple. There are hundreds of 5A level scenic spots in China. Four first tier cities. 15 new first tier cities. 30 second tier cities. Plus, there are many places worth visiting and appreciating, such as the 3rd and 4th lanes. Patience is required for screening. Wishing you peace and happiness 🎉
必须吃大闸蟹，去周庄，虎丘，拙政园/网师园/狮子林，金鸡湖。。。。。独墅湖看落日也不错
I live in Suzhou and if you want to travel through some modern buildings I recommend you to go to the industrial park, the place you are going to is the old city, where the buildings cannot be built high, so if you want to go to a more modern and convenient place, I recommend you to come to the industrial park, which will make you satisfy.
You two have become such a pair of seasoned travelers in China, don’t even bother to show the niceties and views of the high speed rail train ride. It’s like, ya, of course it is good, don’t you know? 😀😎🤪😜
Wow, you chose a Sichuan restaurant in Su Zhou :-) Hope you will have more local food!
Finally, Suzhou is my favorite city in my whole life!!!!
New Suzhou video coming on Saturday
I found a very interesting thing. Every time you go to a new place, you will always find Sichuan food for your first meal. This was also the case last time in Shandong. Maybe the destination of your first trip is Chengdu, this is fate.It's a pity that you didn't taste authentic Sichuan food in Chengdu. In fact, many Sichuan dishes are not spicy.
San Marino of Los Angeles County has built a Chinese Garden in the Huntington Library after the Suzhou Garden House style. I visited Suzhou a few years ago and definitely enjoyed their authentic garden houses. 5 minutes from my house here in Los Angeles county is the Huntington Library with the Suzhou styled Chinese garden in the Huntington Library. I believe they built all the material in China and then shipped them over to assemble them in Huntington Library. Enjoy your trip. ❤❤❤
Oh my, you guys seem to have chosen a wrong hotel location, which seems so suburban and remote 😅 it would be much better and convenient if you choose the downtown area, but anyway, you will go to visit downtown later I believe. Have a nice time in Suzhou!
I actually appreciate that you ended up in a quotidian residential neighborhood every now and then. Helps show an even bigger and better sense of China and her people.
Pingjiang Road is an interesting place to visit. Great sharing. More foreigners should visit China.
I saw you guys from the Chinese version of "TikTok", so I signed up for youtube. In addition, I am from Chengdu, and I am glad that you like Chengdu
I highly recommend you two to come to Tibet for a visit(not just Lahsa but also other natural scenic spots),though you may need some extra preparations like a special permission and a guide.I take a self-driving road trip around the Ali region(a district of Tibet) during this national day holiday.The natural scenery is so stunning and breathtaking,and you will hardly see "people mountain people sea" in these places.I can say that most of the time,you just park your car along the road,and you can enjoy the heavenly nature exclusively without being disturbed by others.
别推荐了，说真的，西藏和新疆只有自驾游才能体现那两个地方真正的美
西藏海拔受不了
Glad to see your video again. The location of your hotel may not be hustling and busting as other part of the city. Hopefully you can search on the internet to look for some local scenery and museums in Suzhou.
Absolutely ❤️
@@TwoMadExplorers Do you have Douyin account? If you don't, you should get one.
I have heard Suzhou is a very pretty place, looking forward to learn more about it!
In China, we can say that ""Above, there is heaven; below, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou.""
@@林森焱-v1r yes I've heard this too!
Very nice place
Suzhou gardens really live up to their reputation.❤
第一☝️！🎉🎉
Suzhou is a beautiful city. There's a saying in Chinese "上有天堂，下有苏杭", means there's heaven in the sky and there're Suzhou & Hangzhou on ground. Hope you guys enjoy your trip in Suzhou!
Suggest you visit Suzhou Garden Museum. Also visit the top 4 Classical gardens in Suzhou: Zhuo zheng Garden, Liu Garden, Wanshi Garden and Huanxiu Villa in Suzhou, they are included in the World Cultural Heritage List.
加油💪
In order to protect the ancient city, Suzhou City limits the height of buildings.Only in the relatively peripheral new urban areas are there modern high-rise buildings.
Yangzhou City also implements the same policy. It is also a beautiful city and a capital of gourmet food. Hope you may visit it.
Give the restaurant owner the translator - when you finish the food, he will give back you a book.
if you are taking a short distance high speed rail like from suzhou/hangzhou to shanghai, try business class once. the price difference isn't that much for short distance travel so you can get the experience for cheap. you get use of the business lounge and all the queue skipping 😆
you guys are just in the suburbs. personally I like to say a bit away from the center myself as long as there's a metro stop nearby. things are cheaper and more authentic plus it's a nice quiet retreat after a long day sightseeing in busy tourist areas.
Wow, that looked like a small town cafe. The food looked good and homemade. You guys are so adventurous.
Thanks so much Grif, hope Indonesia is treating you guys well. We miss Indonesia a lot these days
You two have to visit Suzhou Museum , designed by world renown architect I.M. Pei . The museum itself is an art piece with excellent collections.
蘇州的食物偏甜 非常有當地特色 尤其是蘇州的麵 建議去嘗試一些傳統饭店
欢迎来到苏州，我生活的城市
the restaurant around college will always satisfy you, you can try
Suzhou doesn’t look like a ‘developed city’ coz there aren’t too many high-rise building gatherings. However it’s one of the richest city in China. It’s one of China’s most important manufacturing centres ( another ones are Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen), it’s also the largest river based harbour on this earth, as well as a cultural landmark in China.
认可。
Suzhou Station. The engineering is amazing. Look at that roof span.
Currently im in Suzhou, and im willing to give u guys a ride for a touring around. Some hidden gems, like local-only eatery places & waterside viewing spots, will delight ur trip of suzhou definitely.... 👌👌
Suzhou has 108 gardens, known as the City of Gardens, among which 9 gardens are listed as World Cultural Heritage sites
Wow, so beautiful!
It would be great if you two could come to a southern city, to my hometown Shantou, Guangdong, a place with many delicious foods.
哇，终于赶上新鲜的了，C 仔快翻我的牌🎉🎉！
他们摸到了苏州，然后找到了一家川菜苍蝇馆子😂😂。
真算苍蝇馆子😂😂
Now that you are in Suzhou,you should try the delicious crab roe noodles.
很逗的家伙😂从一个州到了另一个州～开始你的发现之旅吧
Thx for sharing
Suzhou cuisine is sweet. You need to try it.
哇，全国都走遍了 建议你们去西藏旅游，西藏属于世界屋脊高寒缺氧 地广人稀 跟旅行团才有保障 外国人只能跟旅行团
You are on the outskirts of Suzhou close to Tiger Hill. It's surrounded by factories and farmland.
The old town has a height restriction so to protect the view from inside the ancient gardens. Buildings are not allowed to be built taller than 6 floors. The old city is probably the most protected old cities in China.
If you want to see the tier 1 part, you should go to SIP, to the east of the old city.
去苏州一定要参观一下苏州的园林
It happened your hotel is located in the suburbs of suzhou where there are some industries and residential areas. suzhou is seeing as Oriental Venice. Cuz old part of the city has cannals running round and a lot of waterfront shops there.
I am suprised that Suzhou is not as popular among Western tourists. However, the region including Suzhou and Hangzhou has been one of the most affluent and educationally advanced areas in China for thousands of years. It has a rich cultural life and thriving economic activity, far from the political centers of Beijing or other southern regions. As a result, it lacks the rigid royal or aristocratic atmosphere, but its culture and education have flourished, producing many of the most famous writers and politicians.
And it has a highly developed popular entertainment and culture in ancient China.
Tai Hu (太湖) is a must go in Su Zhou if you can find someone to manage a drive trip.
加油加油加油⛽😄😄❤❤❤
welcome to China
😂😂你住到郊区了
Willkommen in unserer Stadt - Suzhou. Vom ersten Video an, in dem du auf China trittst, habe ich dir während des gesamten Prozesses Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Ich hoffe, eine gute Erfahrung zu machen und in China zu gewinnen.❤❤
Danke!! ❤️❤️❤️
欢迎来到苏州
The night view at the riverside of Suzhou's "Gate to the East" building or some called it The Pants building is quite beautiful. Was there in 2018, my 4th trip to China and am looking forward to my 6th trip to Zhangjiajie in a week's time.
Sending love frome Yunnan❤❤❤❤ Hope you two enjoy your trip❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! We love Yunnan
Guess you will visit some famous Suzhou Gardens. There is a small Suzhou style garden in St Anne's park in Dublin.
It has been a pleasure watching your videos. It looks like you have been exploring south part of the China, except Beijing. As a Chinese from the North, I invite you to come visit north and central part of the China. It has different landscape, food and culture.
Thank you so much ☺️
Welcome to suchou ❤
I love the videos you guys do you go to the places other people don't show the stuff I've never seen🎉 just curious I'm German Bavarian German to be specific. What part of Germany are you from?
Nice video
Hangzhou was being revamped in 2023 for holding the Asian games which was a success. 🎉❤❤
Loved your shiba inu tee!😍
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
虎丘区距离市中心还有一段距离，应该算是郊区，不是很发达，所以很多建设还比较原始，如果你们到了姑苏区那又是另一番景象
苏州绝对称得上是一线城市，南京是江苏的省会，但是人们习惯性地开玩笑说江苏的省会是苏州，因为苏州的GDP很高
Let's go to Harbin next stop. Northeast China is cheap and delicious, but the taste is quite strong. The rice is also delicious
Recommend you guys visiting Taihu(lake).
Dongshan or Xishan are the best places for visiting Taihu.
Welcome to Suzhou. Hotel maybe think near "Beisi Pagoda" or "Humble Administrator's Garden", lots good food and scenery, also close to the subway station, convenient travel😊
Thank you ☺️ ❤️
餐厅老板在尝试告诉你，中国拥有众多菜系，不同的民族，不同的地区物产，不同的气候条件造就了众多风格迥异的菜系。并且他说了几个最有有代表性的菜系。
旁边的城市，无锡，可以去鼋头渚，灵山大佛，拈花湾！
Happy to see your new videos, have a nice trip！
As a person from Chengdu I visited Suzhou when I was about six I couldn't remind many details of traveling there now and lost most photos taken at that time, I've become an adult and I really wanna go there one more time and enjoy the city in full as well as take more images to save in network disk.
😀😀😀 I believe the guy was not ignoring Luke. He probably thought Luke was talking to someone online, and he left quietly not to interfere Luke's online conversation.
suzhou is a beautiful city
shantang street, Chaozong Pavilion, Panmen Scenic Area, Lingering Garden.. suzhou is not as built up as other cities. mostly old style historical buildings.
发达不止钢筋水泥哦，苏州最强地级市不是闹着玩的😊常州人喜欢苏州，典雅中国代表城市
i live in suzhou. we used having meals in suzhou center mall where u could have lots choices. maybe u could try.
I am from Indonesia , I can understand that is a very good translator tool. When I was a tour leader decades ago, I used to go to Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi and a lot of other destinations.
苏州是一座有2500年历史的城市，他的整体布局一直没有改变，所以整个古城都是保护区，不允许建设高楼，也不允许随意改建，这就是为什么古城区会看起来很久，但是他是中国GDP前十的城市，如果想看高楼大厦或者天际线，可以去古城区周边，围绕着古城区都是新建设的，而苏州本地年轻居民现在基本都住在工业园区或者高新区，古城区会有一些老年人居住，苏州的园林是很有名的，拙政园，网师园，留园，寒山寺，虎丘等等，祝你们玩的愉快
I like station train beautiful
去苏州，最应该逛的是园林，这是苏州或者说是江南的特色。
Hello from Saigon VietNam❤
Suggestion: never choose a restaurant with no customer eating inside😁
Thank you
I agree.
Suzhou is an industrial city🫡
