21:23 The staff at the subway station require you to drink the liquid from your bottle in person to ensure that it is not a dangerous liquid. Chinese subways are usually crowded, and if a highly corrosive liquid attacks, it can be fatal!
Really enjoyed your video as I spent 10 days in Guangzhou in July. It was very hot, around 38C every day! I stayed in a regular hotel in Liwan district and had absolutely no problems, so I guess you just had bad luck. I went to the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, Zhu Jiang Xin Chun and the Canton Tower too. Also South China Botanic Gardens and Foshan, amongst other places, both well worth a visit. I love Guangzhou and will definitely be going back. Your video brought back a lot of happy memories, thank you!
Haha, one point in the video I want to explain is that when you carry the liquid on the subway, the staff usually ask you to take a sip of your water. It is a measure to prevent dangerous liquids such as gasoline from being taken into the subway. Of course, there are liquid detection machines in many places, and you just need to give the liquid to the staff and wait for the test. But during peak hours, in order to save time, the staff will let you have a sip, which is more convenient and quick
@@user-ss9wg2yq3o when they're in the chan ancestral hall metro, the security was actually saying that there's some sort of aerosol spray thing in her bag 😄
the room you booked isn't hotel, it's an apartment or homestay. because there is no service guys there, only the guard. when you checked in, the guard need inform the owner to come and talk to you.
Ive stayed in really decent priced hotels when i was in Shanghai and Beijing under local brands that look luxurious but price of Holiday inn or even cheaper hotels in US
I enjoyed your video so much! I am in HK for university right now but I have lived in Guangzhou for 18 years since I was born. The 源記腸粉 is very famous in Guangzhou since almost every local has had tried it before and it has been open for 20 years. Thank you so much for letting me experience this journey online--it felt I was there!
At 28:31 minutes of the video, it is not a stadium but the Guangzhou outdoor Opera House/Performing Arts Center where the majority of concerts and dance shows take place.
Congee is one of the most Cantonese things you can eat, great choice! The steamed rice sheets used to be hand rolled into rolls, which requires more skill/care, it's rare now to see it done that way.
Thanks you guys so much for this new remarkable video three weeks ago in Guangzhou, China to shows those amazing places on the streets in great joy November of 2024❤❤❤
I don't think the security guards( (police) were following you, they just strolling like they usually do. Been to China several times and always see them walking around the street and you can approach them for help.
I stumbled upon your videos recently and have watched the UK and China ones. You are a really lovely couple and you present really well I enjoy watching. China seem s very popular at the moment as there are yourselves ,another couple and a family with three young children, it all proves interesting viewing from your varied views
Enjoying China series guys ,karolina always has a smile,we are leaving in Nov for UK and Europe for a white Christmas and yes tell karolina we are going to warsaw Krakow and wroclaw,you guys .need to come to Australia to check out our summer.
hi，Karolina.I noticed that when entering the subway, we were asked to drink the beverages we brought with us, which can indeed make people feel uncomfortable. However, this might be due to a misunderstanding caused by the staff's choice of words. In China, carrying flammable, explosive, or other dangerous items on public transportation is prohibited.
The Chinese congee actually you can order some deep fried chinese dough and put it in the congee. It will taste even better. The oil is sesame oil. The steam flat rice noodle known as Cheong fan in Cantonese. They have it with beef, pork, dried shrimp, fresh shrimp or only just plain. Next time you order it just tell them to cut it in slices which will be much easier to eat. Yes it goes well with some chilli sauce.Anyway, have fun and enjoy Guangzhou. Cheers from Macau 🇲🇴
I regret to tell you, in fact, the house you booked in Ctrip, it is very likely that the display picture is very beautiful, but the actual room is just ordinary, and their price increase is close to the holiday, which is generally relatively high, in Guangzhou, it is recommended that you book the Atour hotel chain
🎉I like your videos，When traveling in China, it is recommended that you book hotels from chain brands because they have a unified service standard. In the video, you booked a homestay, which can be quite challenging for a foreigner to choose a good one. Therefore, I suggest you opt for hotels from chain brands. Have a pleasant trip!
It's a great suggestion! Which chains do you recommend? :) We are just used to booking the apartments because that what we would od back in Europe more of!
You just missed the DAFO Temple in the Beijing pedestrian street! There is a Buddha statue made of gold and a like 10 meters wide spectacular jade crafted wall. And also the night view is awesome because of the light effect of the whole temple. It's quite worth to visit.
Queuing up for a coffee and standing in a line for 15 minutes is already an old thing. In China you just scan the code and wait without strictly protecting your position in a queue. Your queue is in the computer not in a physical human queue.
Watching your experience on Canton Tower makes me relive my own time there. First time I paid a premium to go up any skyscraper in China, and what a great time I had, even if it was crazily windy. In comparison the weather was so calm when you went!
It's so busy on saturday because alot of people had to work on the weekend before the national holiday to make up for the longer holiday. Try avoid tourist areas on National public holidays in China, it's quite chaotic. 🤣
tip for you guys when eating piping hot porridge, circularly scoop around the edge of the porridge, along the bowl, that area is the least hot part 🥣🥣🥣
Bless you guys you deserved to get the room you booked that must have been a bit disappointing for you both especially when you had been traveling a long time but your videos are still fantastic you both put a lot into them A big thank you to you both 💕
Haha you should try that big red can drink with three yellow characters on the can. It’s the herbal base tea which may help you to overcome the humidity heat better. When I was little back home in China, my mum often cooked varied herbal tea in the summer. ❤
that oil into porridge should be sesame oil. We usually add sesame oil and white pepper to porridge. Chinese/South east asia mainly use white pepper in our food.
Hay Karolina, the subway security could possibly see there’s a spray can you might be carrying in your bag. He kept saying “spray can”. He asked you to drink the liquid is to make sure it’s not alcohol or anything flammable. It sometimes happens at the airport security too. Btw, greeting from Australia. I’ve been enjoying watching this series. Hope you have good time in China!
Enjoying watching your trip to China. It would be helpful if you could show where you are on a map, as most of the places are difficult to find for us westerner's with the spelling.
Traveling in China is a kind of enjoyment, with excellent public security, friendly people, rich culture, developed cities, abundant food, and the freedom to go out at night without worrying about shooting like in the West. It can be seen that you are enjoying it very much.😻😻
Ji hotel；IntercityHotel；MAXX；Manxin Hotel；Orange Hotel；Crystal Orange Hotel ；Hanting Hotel；Mercure Hotel；Starway hotel。。These are some hotels with different prices but very good value for money
Your check in experience doesn't just happen in China. I've had much the same both in HCMC Vietnam and London. In both cases, it put a damper on the stay.
Now I’m in Shanghai. And I really like all your videos because I have been learning English especially listening comprehension. And now I can most of what you are saying❤
When one is in Guangzhou, never ever forget to try their Dim Sum breakfast which offers get variety of items and wash down with Chinese tea which must not add sugar.
The lamb stick is made of a special kind of wood called red willow. The traditional way of making roasted lamb stick in Xinjiang uses that kind of wood.
Guangzhou and Shenzhen are the largest cities in Guandong Province, the "California" of China. It is also the center of Cantonese language that's why Hongkong and Macau people first language is Cantonese.
the old switch-a-roo 😆. you guys were renting an apt from an individual so that can be hit or miss. that's probably why the security guard wasn't sure what was going on. usually when you are getting a room from a non-hotel like an apt, guesthouse, or homestay, should check out the renter's ratings. you're not going to get ripped off since you can get refunded but you can avoid some unnecessary hassle.
My Chinese girlfriend booked a hotel in Kunming, but when we arrived the hotel couldn't book us in because some hotels are not licenced for "Foreigners". They told us to go to the Police Station, just down the road. The Police then took us to a different hotel and everything was fine. Another weird Chinese experience. Guangzhou is the manufacturing heartland of China. The place is full of factories masses of products like clothes, door furniture, electronics, motorbikes, home furnishings, toys and much much more! These products are then exported worldwide.
that was your gf's mistake 😅. all foreigners have to stay at places that are signed up for foreigner registration, basically just putting your passport through the system. some smaller hotels or homestays don't apply for this due to extra costs. when you rent a place through one of the agents, it will say if foreigner approved or not.
Hi , so happy to see u enjoy your trip in China just like me. I live in Hong Kong and I went to Shenzhen quite frequent and there's a lot of fascinating things over there. If you will go to Shenzhen or Hong Kong, I can be your guide show you the most authentic culture, food and interesting places. Have fun 😊
Nice view I followed some of your videos, and I am curious why it happened 100 times out of 100, that the man with camera goes to a gate with the ticket first, and always the woman passing through already, while he still trying to figure out what to do? Anyway, it makes it more enjoyable.
I am watching the video right now and it seems you messed up the labels for the different segments. LIke the part where you checked into the hotel , it said "meatball burger" lol.
Tip, you dont have to screen shot everytime you need to translate, you can simply summon google assistant and tap on translate. But I guess that doesn't work unless you use VPN
welcome to Guangzhou first, your inn is near my home haha. As a local guy, I have to tell you that don't booking INN because your are foreigner, you'd better book chain hotel. And there are many traditional guangzhou food near your Inn, you can found it at XiHua Road, EnNing road and BanTang road.
The room you booked should be a private room, not a professional hotel. Generally speaking, professional hotels don't dare to change rooms like this, at least they will notify you in advance.
It was labelled as a hotel from what I can remember and they didn't send check in instructions so we assumed they would have a reception and we turned up to a residential building 😅
I have lived in Guangzhou for many years. This is a type of city B&B. It is usually found in some residential areas or apartment buildings and renovated. You can understand it as a small special hotel with many styles, because I had a friend who did this kind of apartment B&B. Make money, haha
@@JayandKarolina private apartment recent years very popular in China for many people tourment, but normally not allowed for foreigner, you better book Chain hotel like home inn or hanting like this ,best wishes
Glad you like them! We're uploading our next video tonight! Hope you'll find it interesting because it will be a Cantonese street food tour with a local 😍
Just came back from China, I grew up in China and left there when I was 18. The changes in the city is phenomenal, People experience economic downturn right now but the cost of living compare pre-covid is much lower. Unlike rest of world everything triples.
The popularity of inbound tourism is also a microcosm of the continuous improvement of China's comprehensive national strength. It not only demonstrates China's openness and tolerance, but also brings us new development opportunities.
I love Guangzhou, beautiful, about 2 hours ferry boat commute to Hongkong airport with checked in luggages. The city is clean, organized, and very safe. During the peak hour the subway is really busy, but they are able to schedule the train run one by one every 2 minutes, amazing efficiency, quite fast, though still packed. other than the rush hour, I enjoy taking subway than cabs.
Glad you enjoyed it Pamela! Sometimes it feels like we're not really showing the Behind-The-Scenes that you might see as entertainment too so we're planning to show more of it in the upcoming vlogs!!! :)
Welcome to Guangzhou as known as Canton, the origin of Cantonese culture. Although there were many changes in recent decades but Guangzhou still the main city in southern China represents the southern culture and traditions. You should try roast goose that is very famous cuisine in Guangdong province.
thank you so much for your appreciation and love to china🇨🇳🥰 btw Gz is my hometown but im currently living rn in Beijing, I'm a student from Tsinghua University 🇨🇳💕, Thanks a lot wish u more success and enjoy ur trip. You guys are very welcome here anytime‼️💕
the ferry trip amazing not the heights one terrifying , i never realised that from one part of china to another the total difference in food ( i'd have struggled with spice ) . How is electric powered there ? great video as always
Welcome to Guangzhou. In fact, the roast goose in Guangzhou is also very delicious. The price is much cheaper than that in Hong Kong. There are also authentic Chaoshan restaurants. If you come again next time, I can be a free guide. Finally, thank you for telling me the truth. Show China to the world!
Hi, Jay and Karolina! I'm one of your fans from China. I came across your videos on Bilibili and I really like the way you interact with locals and share your understanding of Chinese food as well as culture. In your first video of China journey, you said you're gonna spend a month in China and visit a number of megacities. May I know whether whether Wuhan is among your destinations, and if so, what's the approximate date? Cuz I live in Wuhan and maybe we can meet by chance!
Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong Province and an ancient port city. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Guangzhou was one of the most important foreign ports and also the birthplace of Cantonese and Cantonese cuisine. Guangdong cuisine and Sichuan cuisine are two completely different cuisines. I hope you can taste them separately.
@@JayandKarolina Cantonese cuisine is light and the seasonings are simple, just to avoid destroying the original taste of the food as much as possible, and the soup of the food is a very important dish and the essence of Cantonese cuisine. Sichuan cuisine is just the opposite. It is very rich in seasonings and very spicy, so people from Sichuan and Chongqing cannot adapt to the diet when they arrive in Guangdong.
In China, if a store has a "必吃榜" sign at the door, it means the food in this store must be good, because this is voted by many people on food apps. In addition, Guangdong subway stations will test liquids, such as perfumes and beverages, during security checks to prevent dangerous items from entering the subway stations.
You booked an apartment hotel, usually they rent different private apartments, so the layout of almost every room is different, they don't show all the photos on the website, they only show a photo of a room at the same price. So I basically don't stay in this kind of apartment, because it is often too different.
Can we just take a moment and appreciate the beautiful Canton Tower? (广州塔) 😍
Amazing video ❤❤❤
21:23 The staff at the subway station require you to drink the liquid from your bottle in person to ensure that it is not a dangerous liquid. Chinese subways are usually crowded, and if a highly corrosive liquid attacks, it can be fatal!

I thought he booked kind of airbnb not hotel.

在中国有任何困难找警察
是的，你说的很对，他们只是在自己负责的区域随意巡逻。
低能白痴來到中國的就有這種感覺了。
They weren't following them at all
你们居住的不是酒店，是私人公寓，类似于airbnb这样的民宿，好像价格挺贵的，外国人不建议去找这些民宿，还是正规酒店对你们来说更方便。
有的旅馆不就在公寓里吗😂
In China very few hotels accept foreigners, not to mention with pets. Not very welcoming.
中国有很多酒店不接待外国人，只有少数五星级酒店才被允许接待外国人，除此之外就是民宿和青年旅舍，这两种地方在接待外国人方面没有任何限制，所以这就是为什么很多外国人来中国只住民宿或者青年旅舍的原因，因为类似于汉庭这种经济型酒店是不能接待外国人的，而五星级酒店又太贵，只有少数外国人会住五星级酒店，大多数就是视频里这对夫妻的情况了，毕竟民宿没有这方面限制
@@coopera1427 Yes, but 3 star hotels accept foreigners too in Guang Zhou. I've been to one.
@@luminouslink777 The hotels that accept foreigners need special license to do so. It's for the safety of the foreign guests and hotels.

The popularity of inbound tourism is also a microcosm of the continuous improvement of China's comprehensive national strength. It not only demonstrates China's openness and tolerance, but also brings us new development opportunities.
Loving the content. What are current temperatures over there?
广州温度27℃
Thank you so much!!! It was 27 degrees Celsius on that day but it felt way hotter 😜
@@JayandKarolina factor in south china high relative humidity, easy to feel 5 to 10 degrees hotter
Beautiful night view. This city is nice. Luck y’all ❤❤❤
Its terrible journey & amazing tour thanks ma'am and sir,
porridge should need a fried dough sticks😊
JAY LOVES YOUTIAO! ❤️❤️ But had to have the rice noodle rolls as they're very iconic in Guangzhou :)
awesome trip! Awesome vision of Beautiful china and his Very Kind People 👌
Welcome to China!❤❤❤
I love Guangzhou, beautiful, about 2 hours ferry boat commute to Hongkong airport with checked in luggages. The city is clean, organized, and very safe. During the peak hour the subway is really busy, but they are able to schedule the train run one by one every 2 minutes, amazing efficiency, quite fast, though still packed. other than the rush hour, I enjoy taking subway than cabs.
Great vlog! 🥳 Thanks for filming the reality of travelling too 😊👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it Pamela! Sometimes it feels like we're not really showing the Behind-The-Scenes that you might see as entertainment too so we're planning to show more of it in the upcoming vlogs!!! :)
Welcome to Guangzhou as known as Canton, the origin of Cantonese culture. Although there were many changes in recent decades but Guangzhou still the main city in southern China represents the southern culture and traditions. You should try roast goose that is very famous cuisine in Guangdong province.
thank you so much for your appreciation and love to china🇨🇳🥰 btw Gz is my hometown but im currently living rn in Beijing, I'm a student from Tsinghua University 🇨🇳💕, Thanks a lot wish u more success and enjoy ur trip. You guys are very welcome here anytime‼️💕
the ferry trip amazing not the heights one terrifying , i never realised that from one part of china to another the total difference in food ( i'd have struggled with spice ) . How is electric powered there ? great video as always
Yeap, the food is very different from each city in China, especially the south and north.
China is totally different level.. a good thing is they can stay humble yet helping their neighbors to success together.. magnificent
Muy inteligente lo del agua, te hacen beber el agua que traes para ellos asegurarse de que no es algún tipo de ácido o gasolina.
I saw your video on bilibili and came here to subscribe to you.😊
Great! This is our main platform so hope you'll enjoy watching our videos :)
Me too🎉
Thanks for you guide.I will
go travel to china soon
Welcome to Guangzhou. In fact, the roast goose in Guangzhou is also very delicious. The price is much cheaper than that in Hong Kong. There are also authentic Chaoshan restaurants. If you come again next time, I can be a free guide. Finally, thank you for telling me the truth. Show China to the world!
Traffic here is true....not very in order.
Some people call it "freedom of moving around as you want".
Yeap, a lot of motorbikes
The Clan buildings are not temples!
Hi, Jay and Karolina! I'm one of your fans from China. I came across your videos on Bilibili and I really like the way you interact with locals and share your understanding of Chinese food as well as culture. In your first video of China journey, you said you're gonna spend a month in China and visit a number of megacities. May I know whether whether Wuhan is among your destinations, and if so, what's the approximate date? Cuz I live in Wuhan and maybe we can meet by chance!
Absolutely fabulous! Thank you ❤x
Try to choose a chain hotel. B & Bs can sometimes hit a brick wall
THANKS A LOT.
VERY NICE WORK.
Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong Province and an ancient port city. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Guangzhou was one of the most important foreign ports and also the birthplace of Cantonese and Cantonese cuisine. Guangdong cuisine and Sichuan cuisine are two completely different cuisines. I hope you can taste them separately.
We are the foodies so we've tried many dishes already and found the food to be way different in each region! :)
@@JayandKarolina Cantonese cuisine is light and the seasonings are simple, just to avoid destroying the original taste of the food as much as possible, and the soup of the food is a very important dish and the essence of Cantonese cuisine. Sichuan cuisine is just the opposite. It is very rich in seasonings and very spicy, so people from Sichuan and Chongqing cannot adapt to the diet when they arrive in Guangdong.
Great job bros
In China, if a store has a "必吃榜" sign at the door, it means the food in this store must be good, because this is voted by many people on food apps. In addition, Guangdong subway stations will test liquids, such as perfumes and beverages, during security checks to prevent dangerous items from entering the subway stations.
great video！looking forward to ur video of shenzhen！❤❤
Coming soon! 😍
You booked an apartment hotel, usually they rent different private apartments, so the layout of almost every room is different, they don't show all the photos on the website, they only show a photo of a room at the same price. So I basically don't stay in this kind of apartment, because it is often too different.
Thank you for sharing it's just like I have been travelling with you to see so much amazing views
I am going to Shanghai for the third time this year ! After seeing your video, guangzhou is on my next list ❤ thank you for sharing
Shenzhen is also very beautiful, welcome 😉
That's not a Chinese sausage but the normal western sausage. Thanks for the tour in Guangzhou.
roast goose is a must have! dont leave china without giving stinky tofu a go!!
We've tried Roasted Goose in HK! You'll see the verdict but it was a bit controversial 😂😂
