DENIED entry to a Chinese BEACH without my PASSPORT!?!

Real name registrations? Passport or ID card, Pre bookings and X-ray machines to go to the beach?
I wanted to show you all how to take the bus in Shenzhen, and decided to go to China's most popular beach only to be told that I need my passport and a reservation to access the beach!
Shenzhen Tong (Chinese: 深圳通) is a contactless smartcard system used for electronic payments in public transportation and some other areas in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China. It was developed by Shenzhen Modern Computer, the provider of automatic fare collection systems to Shenzhen Metro, with cooperation from Octopus Cards Limited, the operator of Hong Kong's Octopus cards system. It was first adopted by minibuses in Shenzhen, until the new system was introduced by Shenzhen Metro. The English name was originally TransCard.
Starting from January 18, 2006, Shenzhen Tong was gradually accepted by public buses to replace the old IC card system by Shenzhen Bus. All routes operated by Shenzhen Bus Group, Shenzhen Eastern Bus, Shenzhen Western Bus and most other private buses operators accept Shenzhen Tong cards.
Infineon Technologies announced it has won a contract to be the sole supplier of contactless microprocessor chips for Shenzhen Tong cards. Issuance unit volume of these cards is expected to exceed three million by the end of 2008.
Shenzhen Tong card can be purchased for RMB20 (Sale Version Card) deposit. A combined Shenzhen Tong and Hong Kong Octopus card is available, called the Hu Tong Xing, with RMB & HKD in different purses.

Thanks for the virtual tour, I sincerely hope you filmed a different episode back with a different transportation method back home. I'd pay to see you filming yourself going back home on the back of a someone else's scooter while clutching some random dude's waist. Cheers.

    The squeezing-in happens every time you want to enter a bus is reckless, and it often borders on brutal practices. They can use hard bags as a pushing weapon to get in first. The same will happen when you want to disembark. Sometimes the mess results that in the following you are not even able to get off the bus at your stop. What you see here in the video is nothing. Go ahead and try the peak hours, and then report back, guys. If the route has lesser passengers the driver may skip bus stops, and since he does not answer any questions and you don't understand the announcements, you won't be able to decide what's best to do now. You probably will get stranded somewhere unknown. Not the biggest problem inside the city, but on the city fringes there might be no taxi and nothing else to help you, except your phone navigation and walking back. - Make sure you have a working phone navigation. - If you have to be somewhere punctual calculate with a generous time margin, especially if it rains. - Be prepared for a lot of body odor. - Be prepared for sneezing, coughing and snodding right next to your face. - Bring ear plugs. - Always check the seat before you sit down. Always. The busses themselves are of a simpler standard. Even when new it feels like suspension is non-existent. Well ok we pay very little, so we won't get VIP coaches. After an hour I am completely relieved to get out. The number of people travelling around in busses carrying huge suitcases is astonishing. They park them in the aisles or on the seats, of course not in a corner but near, because they are scared. That is quite a nuisance when you have to get out. And I believe actually it's a safety hazard.

If he made money of a subscription service or something that would be different, but he has to appeal to the masses rather then the loyal. Not to say he doesn't like his loyal viewers. Blame youtube not himself. For example I know a youtuber who accidentally made a click bait title "make 60k farming in other peoples yard" which was actually what the guy was doing. That video got 100k views while others that were honest and not click baity got 20k views.

    Chinese quality doesn't completely depend on how much education they get. Some people with a bachelor's degree or even higher still litter and seldom slow down when driving toward pedestrians. Sometimes their self centered behaviors drive others mad. I think what I can do is managing myself and educating my child how to be a popular person. Hundred of times, I restrained the impulse of interrupting their uncivilized behaviors when they spat onto the floor of the metro, smeared nasal mucus on the wall of the bus, littered without hesitation, squabbled only for a seat, urinated in public. In China, you can see two extremes. Some are well educated, never bothering others and obeying disciplines strictly, while others only care about themselves. I think there is something wrong with our education, which strives for cultivating people who are obsessed in cutthroat competition and ignore others' feelings.
