Chinese tea culture: does it need to change?

In this video, we explore the world of Chinese tea houses.
Chengdu is the perfect city to while away the hours with a cup of tea. There are hundreds of tea houses across the city that offer a relaxing environment for people to drink tea, chat and play games with their mates. But are these tea houses about to be replaced? We also explore a more modern take on the traditional tea experience. Leave us a comment and let us know which you prefer!

    享受他們熟悉的生活,怡然自得,這種平民式的生活方式讓人更少些壓力。很羡慕。這些退休的人都是有生活閱歷的,喝茶談天說地,應該蠻有趣。

    Probably the old uncle is not really saving that 3 RMB, but bringing his own favorite type of tea leaves that has a much higher quality compared to the ones sold in the teahouse.

    Funny Jack is being point-blank and straight-forward at the modern tea bar, lol. I can imagine heading there for a WeChat Moment picture, but wouldn't really enjoy chilling out there. It looks tight, expansive, and a bit petty. Guess I have an old soul somehow.

    *Sigh* I really like what you have filmed, but the accent...... It is really hard to follow. I remember 20 years ago when I was watching Harry Potter. I didn't have any barrier to follow through. I turned to my daughter for confirmation, "Is this made from U.K.? But their English is smooth without any accent." So I have figured out that the best, smooth English is neither American nor British, just as the perfect mandarin spoken by the hosts of China's CCTV. If we look back of Beijing in 1970's and 1980's, we also felt hard to understand people speaking "mandarin" with Beijing accent in hutong, in bus, and in the streets.
