“Love station”, is set for the older or the handicapped passenger who needs help during their trip😊

I hope you’re enjoying your tour in Xi’an. And just a friendly reminder, if you need any help, just use the google translation or talk with the young people, probably they have a good education about English and they are willing to be the translator or guide to help you about your dinings and journeys. Xi’an is famous for its noodles. Have a good time in Xi’an❤

Chinese are friendly to help people,and if you have any language problems,you can go ahead to young people.Most of young people can understand basic English,don’t worry!!Hope you like it and enjoy your trip! 😊🎉
Lovely that you travelled to Xi'an, I did my bachelor there and it's definitely incredible! I also highly recommend you guys go to Chongqing if you can bare the hotness there(both food and weather), as it's so unique to be a modern city built upon mountains. Anyway, have a nice trip!

6:49 The toilet said: “Smoking in the restroom is prohibited. Violators may face fines or even criminal charges.” China has undergone development in two to three decades that took Europe several generations. Consequently, many habits considered uncivilized by modern standards, remnants of the pre-industrial era (such as smoking indoors, spitting, or littering in public), still persist.

There is a Huimin Street in Xi 'an where you can buy something called sour plum powder, washed with water, very tasty. Yesterday was in summer.
hahhaa interesting!!! The love station i guess that means the station is to provide some conveniences such as band-aids, providing umbrellas on rainy days, or offering guidance at station intersections. have a good traval in Xian hahah

The man asked “where are you guys from?” The lady after saying good bye asked “are you guys from Russia?”
The toilet said: No smoking. Smoking is forbidden strictly.
love station is a place that the staff could offer some help. such as charging your phone, suturing a button for your shirt, offering some hot water for your instant noodle, or a saft place to breast feeding your kid? I guess, definitely not a making love station.

Welcome to Xi'an, I am living here! You must go to the ' long-night Tang city ' at night near the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, and Shanxi History Museum, the city wall, of course the Terra-Cotta Warriors. You have to try Roujiamo (Chinease burger) from "Zi Wu road Zhang" (the brand), that is the best.
Thanks men😊
2:09, that lady in green was asking "are you Russian?" 😂
I have noticed that there are so many KZreadrs travel to China in the recent 6 months. I would love to see some European travel videos.
2:41 cable car hhhhhhhhhh this keeps me laughing for 5 minutes
The high speed train network in China is AMAZING. I prefer it to air travel whenever I can, since it’s much more convenient, environmentally friendly, and equally fast (airport usually locates way out of the metropolitan area, much harder to get to than the train station ). Great choice for individual travelers indeed 👍 Choo Choo, Xi’An here we come 😊❤ Have fun, guys🎉🎉🎉
Welcome to China ❤have a good trip
面🍜you can image some one pick noodles with chopsticks, and it seems like this word面😂
Thanks share China 👍🚄🚅🚆🚇🏢
you can try the biggest bed on the train in Xinjiang or Yunnan(there's a line! but I can't recall it exactly😂) one room like a small standard room
Good videos
in case if you really like to have a paper ticket, you can print them out on the machine in the train station.
Welcome to China.Have a good time!!!❤
When will you post the next vlog, can't wait for that.
When do you update the travel in Chongqing.I'm looking forward to it for a long time!i am Clight,a boy who take pictures with you two .BTW,we have 3 people.i and two girls ,one of them with shining red hair.😮
It is interesting to watch you as a foreigner travel in China. Xi'an is a city of carbohydrates food. also it is delicious. Enjoy your trip 😂
If you don't know how to go or where to go, you can ask young people or student, they willing to help you.
6:49 It was saying that smoking is prohibited in washroom.
The announcement in the restroom means that smoking is prohibited inside the bathroom.
A small hotel room at the Holidays Inn in Milton Keynes, UK cost you nearly GBP£100 a night. It's a ripped off. The room is not up to expectations, a bit dirty and yet It's so expensive. It's not even in London.
The dining at the high-speed railway station is too expensive. If I have enough time, I usually don't consider dining there. Of course, I wish you a pleasant journey
1:59 the man said: which country are you from? lol
Try the Roy jiamo? My husband and i love it 😍😍😍🥰🎉
smell in cabin in whole trip, right? food, smoking in connect zone
9:15 *Xi'an Railway Station* is one of the four biggest train stations in China in terms of passenger volume, and one of the country’s six main rail terminals providing service for at least 23.6 million passengers per year, not including freight trains. China's railways are the busiest in the world. In 2019, railways in China delivered 3.660 billion passenger trips.
The bathroom speaker keeps telling you that smoking is prohibited in the bathroom. Perhaps you stay there moving around causing the system suspects that you want to hide and smoke there 😅
You can just find the train No. on the billboard which is much easier.
面 miàn = noodle 🍜 米饭 mǐ fàn = rice 🍚

Maybe this is a little bit offensive. But in Chinese traditional culture, people consider some asking like “where r u from” or “have u eaten” as greeting. China is a big country, which has endured many wars and hunger, so asking that questions could know that what customs in your hometown and know that whether you are in hunger.

Love seat is a literal direct translation of Chinese, this byte translation will make foreigners find it very funny, they will think it is a place to talk about love. The exact translation of it should be priority seat or reserved seat。If it's a service desk in a station, it should be translated as Volunteer service station (for special groups of people)
In fact, things inside the train station are generally much more expensive than those outside, but the emphasis is on experience. Next time, I suggest you make a strategy in advance.
