I've been to China 5 times now (1994, 2002, 2006, 2018 and 2024), for China travellings, there are couple of perspectives of what you guys wanted to see like :- - Cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzen, Hangzhou, Suzhou or Guangzhou for to experience yourself how modern, advanced, great foods, cleanliness of Chinese cities overall (yes 99% of wherever go visit in China will be Clean generally) also to observe how (in general) the people are living in relaxed and happy conditions WITHOUT the fears of crimes, gun violence and feeling at ease unlike some countries where they avoid going out after dark or behaved like a scanning machines which scans 360 degrees when you out there. There are no perfect human beings, so are the Chinese people but they were brought up not to go the evil paths (crimes) with heavy punishments and together with those millions of high res cameras, those with bad intentions knew they can't run - that's how China brought their crime rates down so much as compared to the 80s and 90s when crimes were high. Cameras will work on good Samaritans (with rewards when necessary) and at the same time deters those with evil intentions, for me those cameras were nothing to me when I was there as I did not have ill intentions at all but at the same time I felt safer with extra eyes watching my safety wherever I was. Try walking about around the cities even up till midnight, even single girls are doing that without fears but the real danger going out at night is their foods, you could end up eating extra calories before sleeping. - Out of cities to those heaven-like mountainous areas. There are many, probably too many attractions like Zhangjiajie, Jiuzhaigou, Guilin, Lijiang, Guizhou and so on. - For experience China's thousands of years of historical evolutions, go Xian - Not forgetting China's 50+ ethnicities with different cultures, many people mistaken China has only 1 ethnicity which is Chinese but within Chinese, there are 50 over different ethnicities - Finally observe the Chinese people's livelihoods, something I did and got me questioning why my own government(s) within the last few decades COULD NOT do to make my life much easier like what they have in China. Subsidized high speed train (350kmph) tickets (so cheap which encourages their people to travel within China with ease), electric cars which cleared the sky off polutions and they're so quiet, even noise polutions are reduced so much, cashless payments - everything paid via phones (no need to worry about people snatching your phones because they can't use it anyway with biometric protections and the law is harsh on crimes, life in China is so much easier and I wish my government could manage my own country like them. My latest trip to China was in April 2024 (last month) to Guizhou, it's not a modern city but more towards nature, mountains, waterfalls and different Chinese ethnicity experience (Miao ethnicity, the longest living ethnicity in China in terms of old age, I've witnessed 80 years old doing labor work which I don't think I could). Here you go, my apologies for being long winded as I didn't like to sugarcoat things, I'll tell the truth even if that hurts. Enjoy your trip

@@user-ih7us9rh6q I don't agree with your viewpoint. As a Chinese living in Canada, I don't have to worry about my car being stolen in China because even if it's stolen, it's difficult to sell or transport these cars. But in Canada, I'm afraid to buy a new car because I worry that this new car might bring me danger. If these cars are only stolen and transported to Dubai, I don't think much of it, after all, Canada is a democratic and free developed country. However, if I'm sitting in the car and they steal it, there's a possibility of physical harm to me. So that's the biggest difference between China and Canada. When it comes to life safety and democratic freedom, I actually lean more towards life safety.

Shanghai metropolitan includes Puxi and Pudong, in between is Huangpu river. Pu is the ancient name of the area means “port”, and Xi means west and dong means East. City center is in Puxi, Pudong used to be agriculture farming area and later developed to be residential, industrial and business in late 1990. Puxi is the more mature and a lot more expensive area, sort of like Long Island vs. Manhattan. Based on what I heard in the video, they stayed in Pudong, hence few tall buildings and less busy. So technically they are in suburban area of Shanghai, not tourist view of Shanghai.

well, you should have taken maglev train straight to the downtown (only about 20 minutes or so ride) and find a hotel there. the place you are staying seems to be quite a way from the downtown of shanghai....

Yes that is what we wanted. Something a little more rural and local. We will visit Shanghai city center another time. Thanks for the suggestions and for watching!

The streets are so clean.

It was a white duck, obviously domesticated and not afraid of people. It could be someone's pet; it could also be a food ingredient that escaped from a restaurant (Chinese people like to eat animals killed alive, such as fish, shrimp, crabs, chickens, ducks, and geeseto indicate that the food is fresh). Australia and Canada also sell live lobsters to China.

If you want to travel to China, you can add my contact information. I have been to most places in China, and I can provide you with some tips and help you make travel plans if you encounter any difficulties. I have an understanding of the food and scenic spots in various places, and my English is good .Look forward to meeting you

Looks like you haven't read any of our past titles, or seen any of our past thumb nails or haven't read any prior comments on this topic thread. This is standard for US. We didn't see or watch their video prior to posting ours. I only went to see after a previous comment. We have videos and thumbnails with similar titles and thumbnails in our past (check our Malaysia videos and Singapore videos..from 8 months ago) This is also our KZread style. This is of no advantage to us to come secondary in a samesies type of way. We also know 2 Mad Explorers personally, we've had them over to our place in Thailand in the past. KZread is a career and takes skill, work and dedication. Thanks for the 'support'?

Might I add like the prior comment about this after I went to go see what they were referring to I also laughed at it with Leon saying wow what are the chances. I understand why you might think the way you do that but honestly what good are you bringing to the table here? There are countless videos with similar titles, words, and thumbnails I found like 14 variations after reading the previous comments....you'd think we are all Travel KZreadrs or something...?

Nice

If you want to do people outside China a favour, tell more people about the real China. There are far too many people who have been blinded by western propaganda that, it's getting absurd.

If you use your mobile data (SIM card from your own country) you won't be impacted by their access restriction. Then the concern would be your roaming data cost.

Hope you can visit Nanjing. Nanjing is a historical city. It also has a massacre memorial museum, it shows facts what Chinese suffered during WW2.

you guys seemed to have arrived in some suburbs/country side of Shanghai, of course, hotel so much cheaper and better. In Canada, for CAD400 you wouldn't get this kind of service. Don't forget to go to city area of Shanghai, you will be more shocked ;)

In fact, China is already the most powerful country in the world, there is no doubt about that. It's just that Western countries, including the United States, are like ostriches in the desert with their heads buried in the sand, and dare not admit it. I wish you have a good time in China, everything here is so beautiful, I hope you enjoy your life.

You guys need to relax and enjoy your visit over there, you look so paranoid 😂. Forget about the fake news we've been told and just enjoy. Just like everywhere else, some people may not like to be filmed but 98% of the people don't care if you film them because they'll be filming you too or taking pictures because you're probably the first foreigners they've seen lol. I've been binging these China vlogs and I can't wait to visit 😊. Edit: Oh and happy belated birthday

Yes but the problem for us as full time travellers we don't have a plan. We just buy SIM cards in each country we visit usually. That was our issue

the hotel is looks very good, how much you spend for each night?

@JennandLeon

24 күн бұрын

$115 Canadian for the night. But that was pre-booked through the Expedia app so I'm not sure what it would cost if you just arrived and asked for a room locally.

This is just a small appetizer, it's just the beginning, the most surprising is yet to come.

@JennandLeon

Yes indeed!

The hotel and its breakfast are about average by Chinese standard. I have been to much much better ones. One of the best things with hotels in China is that they usually have very good breakfast included, unlike in Canada where you'll be lucky to have a "continental" in the morning. Same goes with airline food. Air Canada serves shitty food on international routes, and no (free) food service at all on Canadian and US flights.

@JennandLeon

24 күн бұрын

Agreed with the breakfasts mostly! But I think for us it was just we missed the major airlines because we had been traveling all year through South East Asia and Asia in general so we were used to booking and flying with either short flight carriers or budget carriers to help with the costs. We haven't flown with Air Canada since we started traveling full time back in April 2021 and at the time we were happy with their long haul flights and service.

If you have seen the famous novelist Mark Twain in the last century, and his short story "Campaign Governor", you will be less confused about the current situation. Just like the performance in the novel. In the process of competition, if anyone feels that he can't compete with his opponents. Try to spill dirty water for the other person, slander the other person's character with lies. Even spending money to find a group of children with different skin colors appeared on the stage of the opponent's campaign, letting those children call him "dad" at the competitors. In order to slander the other party's private life chaos. This is the manifestation of vicious competition. Healthy competition should work hard to improve yourself and surpass each other. Instead of trying to drag the opponent's pants, let the other party go forward. This is also what the United States has been doing in the past and now, trying to do everything to sanction China. Just to slow down China's development. The United States has never thought of saving the money spent on foreign wars to improve the life of the American people. Improve that bad infrastructure construction. I know the cost of employment in the United States is expensive, but I believe that the United States has not launched wars for five consecutive years, does not help the foreign war, and saves all the money to develop domestic construction. Promote medical insurance, increase employment positions, and increase national welfare benefits. Increase work hourly salary. The status quo of the life of the American people is definitely much better than now.
