The last man selling food to you was deaf, he couldn't hear anything from you, he needed you to point out what you wanted, happily the last food turned out very good for you!
also the drumstick guy, says on paper “I am deaf and mute, please point your finger at the flavor you want”
yes, the seller of chicken leg and the last pancake are all deaf people. it may be a policy to help disable people. by the way ,the 2nd kebab are not meat, it's kidney lol and it is why they are expansive
yes you are right. i re winded and watched again. there is sign saying that. the choices of 1 to 4 is for degree of spiciness. no. 2 is good choice.
Wow all you had tonight are super local and popular Chinese street food, each place has its own flavor, I hope you had most authentic ones for all the snack street food you had tonight ….🎉
大家都很友好😂
最后一位卖家是听障患者，他在告示牌上写着，语言不通反而让你们交流看起来很和谐，我很喜欢这一幕
at 23:34.The dish you had, called "肉夹馍" (Roujiamo), is sometimes referred to as the "Chinese-style hamburger." In your case, it was filled with chicken, but it's a versatile dish that can also be made with beef, and it's equally delicious. Additionally, the owner of the shop you visited is a person with hearing impairment. That's why he asked you to point to the flavor you wanted using your fingers, with options like "不辣" (not spicy), "微辣" (mildly spicy, which you chose), and "麻辣" (spicy). There were also two lines of text on top that read, "你好，我是听障人士，我听不到你们说什么。请你们把想吃的味道指给我看," which translates to "Hello, I am a person with hearing impairment, and I can't hear what you're saying. Please use your fingers to show me the flavor you want to eat."
I would like to share you something very interesting in the Chinese Internet about UK and Xi'an.
Take a look at the entire map of the United Kingdom, and then look at the province where Xi'an is located, the map of Shaanxi Province, China. You will discover many interesting things:
1.The map outlines are quite similar.
2.The northern regions of both the United Kingdom and Shaanxi are relatively barren. Both regions can be divided into three areas, and there can be some differences and disagreements between them.lol🤣
3.Both capitals have rivers flowing through them.
4.The United Kingdom invented the hamburger, while Xi'an invented the Roujiamo (Chinese hamburger). Both are dishes with meat between bread or buns.
5.Jason Statham was born in London, while Guo Da was born in Xi'an, Shaanxi.(they look like twins)
6.The iconic landmark in the United Kingdom is Big Ben, while Xi'an's landmark is the Bell Tower."
这个不算肉夹馍，这个是里脊加饼
肉夹馍 (Roujiamo) is not the "Chinese hamburger".
If anything, hamburger is the "American roujiamo".
Why? Because roujiamo was invented centuries before hamburger.
这不是肉夹馍，正宗肉夹馍哪有这样的
I’m now in Edinburgh…how I wish I could be there, back in China! Hhh love ur videos. Among so many travel vlogs to China on UA-cam, happy to see you really want to try everything, Alipay, chargers from the power bank, different food…. Enjoy your trip! ❤
Same in Edinburgh!
I'm from Edinburgh, but now I live in Hong Kong. 👋🏼
Xi'AN is also famous for street food. People are very nice and friendly. Alan and Shannon is so open minded for local culture. I liked all videos. So much fun it looks.
China has a vast geography, and there are 8 major schools of Chinese cuisine. What you see abroad is only a small part. Since most of the people who opened restaurants abroad in the early days were Cantonese people from Hong Kong, most of the Chinese food in the eyes of foreigners was just Cantonese food. Cantonese cuisine is refreshing and sweet.
I just want to say that as a Chinese student, I am hungry when I see the food you eat. There are many delicious foods in China, except for some very famous dishes such as hot pot, which are relatively expensive and we can't eat them often. However, another characteristic of China is street food. First, it is very cheap, and you can buy very delicious food with little money, and students and others often buy it. Second, the food is served very quickly. For students or office workers who don't have time to cook or find a restaurant to eat, street food can meet their needs very well. Third, the variety is rich. China is a vast country. You can eat a variety of unique foods from different places. Fourth,China has a long history of farming civilization and a long history of food culture. In ancient China and now , food was an important part of people's lives.Eating a variety of delicious foods is a kind of happiness for us.❤❤😊😊😂
I love the style of your videos! It's so honest and not gimmicky/overly edited. I also love how you video each other and it's more about your experiences as a couple together rather than for the audience. So cute and sweet 😊
You guys are adorable and so much fun to watch. Thank you for being open minded and respectful to the local people and culture. I’ve been really enjoying watching your China trip. Hope you visit more places in China. I also want to add that Alan is so sweet to offer the last piece of delicious oyster to Shannon and for Shannon to share it with him. And the scene with the chicken drumstick is adorable. Lovely to see how you treat each other.
Nice to see you guys updating and enjoying the ride
Loving each part more the further we go
@@Alan_and_Shannon i know it's freezy in northern china now. but dont forget to visit "great tang everbright mall" at night when u are in xi'an. its actually an outdoor cultural tourist space and a must-visit at evening....
@@Alan_and_Shannon在西安可以晚上去大雁塔 大唐不夜城
@@Alan_and_Shannon 14:08 Vegetable filled bun: In the future, it can help if you show the vendor sign and menu clearly and in focus long enough for your audience to help you.
What a great video! It's so nice to see you guys enjoying your food in Xi'an. You can eat out for another week or longer without repeating yourself, as there are so many varieties. Best of all, it's so cheap. I can't say much about the Chinese food in Europe. It doesn't taste authentic to me. For the last sandwich you had, the vendor was pointing three spice levels: 1.Mild, 2.Medium spicy, and 3.Spicy. I would go for #2 as well.
Macro polo the Italian man in ancient times had learned a lot of cooking techniques from China and brought them back to Italy, that's why Italian foods are so famous in Europe today!
French food, Italian food, Turkish food and Chinese food are famous, but Korean food and English food are not so pleasant
我曾经看过一期意大利的美食节目，我很惊讶虽然食品风格非常不同，但是制作的理念非常多的地方是相通的。
You two are such jolly pleasant couple ❤, so enjoyable to watch
I'm glad to see that you guys are still having fun in China.
越来越喜欢你们夫妻的视频，非常正能量的人，介绍中国文化美食，中国有56个民族，每一个省市（民族的文化）饮食文化都不一样的，如果中国问你那里人，你们不用害怕，是中国文化的一部分，证明开始留意你们，中国有14亿人，因为中国市场非常之大，小小订阅你的粉丝，你就己经发达了，再继续努力💪，慢慢累积起来的，中国人民是善良的，勤劳的，热情，包容，喜欢帮助别人的人，中国交通便利，安全，物价稳定，美食天堂，夜生活等，加油，我们永远都支持你们哦，
这对小夫妻口音可爱，心态开放，愿意尝试各种食物，也没有西方一贯的预设偏见。
中国很多人不去看英文频道,所以这个英文频道是外国人的,但是外国人又不相信他们说的话,所以订阅人数不会太多.除非他们去抖音.
It was very cold out there, but it's heartwarming to see you two having a great time. ❤
I can't believe I finished this whole episode of eating and drooling section, just nice to see you guys trying some new food lol well done. Please don't say "this is the best place, this is the best food in China" you said in Chengdu and Shanghai, people are crying now lol
I saw deaf and mute people doing street food in some cities, not too often but not rare, they are having tough but positive lives.
And also, Alan is such a gentleman, to give Shannon the last oyster though he loved it a lot, and also shannon shared half, what a lovely couple, so cute and friendly.
There is a reason that you enjoyed the trip, because you are very sweet and friendly, then what you see is sweet and friendly, if you go there with a default bias, you will not enjoy anything but only negatives.
I’m going back to china for chinese new year in one and half month for 3 weeks , so excited to visit the cities
So glad to see you guys in my hometown. Buy coats and be warm and enjoy the food there, specially lamb, it makes you warm in winter.
You guys are making me really hungry. Really enjoyed the video. Hopefully you guys can venture longer in China.
It really touched me the way you shared the last oyster, you are a good couple!!
I'm always totally refreshed up by watching your videos every time. Such an authentic experience as total foreigners, the Glasgow accent is definitely a plus.
In Xi'an, don't miss the "Tang Dynasty Never Nights City" and remember to go there at night
thats ture
as a Vietnamese Chinese American i'm envying you guys njoy your time there & be safe; watching it from NYC...
China is very very very safe
i'm new to your channel and one thing i really like about you guys is how you go into details of the food you try. fascinating! thanks for the videos.
I’m supposed to be working now but I just couldn’t resist!!! You guys are the loveliest couple ever!!!! So open-minded too! If I were in China, would LOVE to take you guys around ❤
I love watching you both explore the different foods and cities!! You're both so open minded and cute
23:30 The sign says that the street vendor is deaf and you can specify the spiciness by pointing at one of the 3 options.
As you share the last oyster, I'm envious that you have each other.❤
Hi Alan and Shannon. They're pickled mustard baos. At 25:01 is the Rou Jia Mo (肉夹馍) or Chinese hamburger. Good to see you try and enjoy the local fare. Am enjoying your videos.
A funny story circulated on Chinese social media many years ago about a foreign man eating food on the streets of Chengdu who vowed to eat every food stall in the city in three months. Years later, he was still seen eating food on the streets of Chengdu. Although this story is very interesting, the fact is that the Chinese food is extensive and profound, and new food comes out every day.
I love how quickly you can integrate into the local experience. Have a nice trip!
Can’t believe you guys tried kidney skewers without any hesitation lol, enjoy!
that is not kidney
I think they did, but did they know that?😂
two skewers, obviously a kidney
@@xinyiquan666 yaozi 腰子 is definitely kidney lmao.
@@joey3291 pretty sure they didn’t know that hahahaha
- Xi’an and Nanjing very famous in universities , some universities there ranking in top 60 universities in the world .
- Xi’an was the capital for china in long time ago .
- this video and last all about food , show us the places and buildings with infrastructures for different chinese cities beside the eating also .
- you two lovely couple guys .
- waiting your new vlogs .
- have a good time traveling in china .
You two just so lovely and authentic! I have watched all of your China trip videos since I opened the first video. Hope you have a great traveling in China. I think you guys will head to more norther and norther place later, so please be careful that the climate would be colder and colder.
You guys are awesome! Love watching you enjoying new experiences in China. I'm Chinese but born and raised in Canada. My wife and I have been to China a number of times but you're going to some places we haven't been to yet, so you're inspiring us to travel to China again in the future.
One suggestion I have is filming the Chinese menus a bit more. You guys often ask what food you're eating, but sometimes I have no idea, since I don't know the food from certain regions. Chinese food is so diverse. Seeing a menu would help a lot, since I can at least read what is offered.
Happy travels!
"Chop-chop" with the next video, can't wait!
Absolutely lovely couple.
the last stall 23:30. there is a sign said he is deaf, pls point out what you want. that is why he dont talk in the whole time😢
（what you guys pick is how hot/spicy you want, you pick medium hot ）
Love watching these videos, as you guys are not picky and apparently enjoy all the food you have tried.
Hi Alan and Shannon, awesome videos! One thing I would like to say is that for the last food that you ordered, the person actually had the board in the front saying, "he is disabled and cannot hear, so please point to the level of spicy you would like for your food?" so he was pointing that ask which spicy level you like, you guys probably noticed that he did say a word during the whole encounter, that is the reason! Cheers! - love from China
If you are already in Xi'an, it doesn't hurt to visit even further West - Xinjiang (It's still a 2400km train ride). The natural scenery there are absolutely stunning; snow mountains, endless desert, great steppe, lakes and forests. The Islamic culture of Uyghurs is beautiful, too. I even met some white Kyrgyz tribes with blue eyes as well, I suspect they might even be the Romans who travelled east and merged into local nomads. If you have time, it's worth it.
You guys are so wholesome. Love your travel vids, keep them coming! Thank you and have a great Xmas.
What a lovely couple! So cute
It looks like you both can just close your eyes and order some street food, and you will still be getting those "Oh My Goodness" feelings. Xian and Chengdu are two cities in China famous for street food. Visiting the Muslim Street Food is a must in Xian. Your trip is never complete without going there.
One reason is they are in the students' street, your food need to be very tasty to compete with so many other sellers.
Grilled mutton buns and large skewers of grilled mutton are so delicious and not expensive.
n also Clean Street Foods
The vender attending the stall where you bought the tenderloin finger wrapped with bun, he's deaf. So it's actually working towards both of your favors communication wise.
You couple are so sweet ❤. Enjoyed your video very much.
Ok. Re Gan Mian can’t believe that you are falling love with other noodles 😂 The filling of that Bao seems to be Sauerkraut and glassnoodle.
glad to see you guys enjoy your trip in china😊
🥰I can't believe you went to Xi'an and even enjoyed the food near my school, making me miss home and hungry late at night in Germany!
LOL really enjoy you enjoying your food. Keep making more videos!
Shannon was correct about the Middle East flavour. Xi’An was the starting point of the Silk Road. A lot of food in Xi’An might have brought by Persian traders.
Recently just found and followed your channel. You are a lovely couple who seems to go head first without thinking and trying new food without prejudice. This is what real adventure is about. Awesome vids!
Green noodles is Spinach Noodles. The noodlels are made from Spinach juice and flour. Tradtional Xi'an food. Actually, Xi'an is a famous high-carbohydrate city. Maybe you can't miss Rou Jia Mo. Put roasted meat into the burge-like pie. More like Chinese hamburger.
greeting my friend，welcome to north part of China. there are so many traditional food like hotdishes noodles soup lamb Bbq in Chinese way. I'd really like lamb soup with paomo together in such cold winter is going to warm ur body up and get energy. hope you two enjoy good days in China.
From my point of view as a chinese, Chengdu and Guangzhou are the top 2 cities in terms of most delicious local cuisine, and when street food is also considered, Xi'an can join the club.
False, every Chinese cities have its awesome food.
川菜真的那麽厲害？沒去過四川
@@foodparadise5792 现在被资本炒作只剩火锅了，年轻很少知道川菜那些名了
@@foodparadise5792 川菜有24种基础味型，上河帮(成都官府菜)的菜很清淡，但是奢侈，小河帮(自贡菜)的菜奇和辣，下河帮(重庆)的菜就是家常的重油重盐
@@yongyang7758 粵菜也差不多，吃不到八，九十年代味道了。
I'm a Chinese and you guys have had more tasty Chinese food than I have ever had. You guys really know how to pick the right spot to eat.
Xi'an was one of the ancient capitals. What is so special about Xi'an is that the city was once connected through Central Asia, the Middle East, and all the way to Europe as far as Rome. It was connected via the Silk Road. The Silk Road was an ancient trading route.
I love the dishes idea ill stock up on the bags for you coming home 😂😂😂😂- food looks amazing and shannons sooo cute in her panda hat xx
哇！我隔着屏幕都闻得到香味了！每个食物 看起来都很好吃也
From bilibili, I like you guys all the videos.It's very normal, natural and objective. no lens filter, just pure feeling, so please keep this!!!❤
The winter in northern China is too cold, please keep warm and look forward to more videos.
You are back ! ! ! Miss you so much ! ! !
Where is your local buddy by the way ?
太棒了，终于看到你们更新了，因为天气太冷了，懒得出去旅游.注意保暖啊🥰
Almost watch all videos due to your cute Scotland accent
Lovely couple :) like your videos. The history of Xi'an is more than 3000 years, and it became China's capital from 1000 B.C.
It was so much fun to watch your videos. Enjoy your vacation in China.
At the very last food stand when he tells you to choose from option 1,2 and 3. on the top left corner it actually says : I have hearing disabilities, please point to the flavour that you want.
You two have become two of my favorite people on YT. I wish someone would or could invent a tool that would convert the deliciousness you are experiencing into digital 1s and 0s and then have a translator on my end, decoding those 1s and 0s into the smells you are experiencing.
I watched u all the videos in China, I like ur starting a trip without any plan,it’s challenging and unknown. All the people u meet in the trip like NPC in the video game,hope u have a wonderful and unforgettable journey in China.🎉🎉
There are many Muslim Hui people in Xi 'an. Their food is more like Middle Eastern food. Xi 'an people like to eat pasta.After waiting for days, you finally updated,good job.
The purpose of using a plastic bag is because there is no running water connected to the food stand. The city bylaw requires food stands have running water if they decided to use reusable bowls because is more hygienic and sanitized
I cracked up at Shannon's reaction after tasting the ckn drumstick 😂 For future reference in case you come across with another similar vendor, the red words says: "Taste: Not spicy, Light spicy, super spicy" → 口味: 不辣、微辣（or it can be '小辣'）、超辣. The last vendor is apparently deaf, he says he won't understand if you speak, so please point (to indicate which spicy level).
UP
Shannon is right,it’s Spinach Noodles😊
And, The person serving you the Chinese burger is a deaf mute man. He wrote his message on the sign. So he can only communicate with you through gestures.
Enjoying your videos to China. Raw oysters contain a lot of parasites and moving crawlies... best eaten cooked
the kebab sticks you took first is lamb kidney, it‘s usually twice the price than normal lamb or beef stick，22 for 2 kidney and 1 sausage is quite reasonable actually.
23:29 “Hello, I'm deaf. I can't hear anything you're saying.
Please use gesture
Taste: 1.Not spicy 2.slightly spicy 3. Extra spicy”
23:17This stall owner is deaf and mute, but he makes a decent living through his labor
Certainly, the snack stalls near the university are always the most budget-friendly, and it's easy to find tasty treats.
However, if we liken Chinese cuisine to a mountain, you two have been lingering around the foothills. In reality, there are many more classic choices when it comes to delicious food. 😂
From Wuhan's Three Fresh Bean Skin, Zhouhei Duck, Shanghai's Pan-Fried Buns, Xi'an's Biang Biang Noodles, and Roujiamo, to the countless delectable dishes in Chongqing, the list is endless.😋
23:29 The last vendor you tried, the owner he is with deaf disability (The text on the cart)
👍👍👍
I’m so excited to see your new video , China just woke up , and views in your video is going surging 😂
happy trip around China!
You both are the most adorable and funniest couple vlogger on youtube. Love it
It’s so fun to see you eating street food in China😊 .The food in each province in China is different, and there are more than 30 provinces in China😂. For those who are willing to accept new things, traveling to China is really a food journey~😋😋😋
Adorable couple. Welcome to China!
I want to make super clear here my friend while politics might be controversal for foreigners (some are facts some are media propoganda), the people are nice friendly welcoming lovely and most importantly, hard working!
and you guys can go to the northernmost of China to see the snow and fly to the southernmost to see sunshine
The last one you had was Roger Moore, Chinese hamburger 😂
The fillings of the buns are a type of fungus called diruan (地软) in Chinese. It is indeed very tasty
我看着就是榨菜吧...
不是酸菜吗？
the meat of the two kebab you guys ordered was actually lamb's kidney, i think that was the whole kidney there on one kebab, that is why it was so expensive, the normal lamb meat kebab usually only cost around 1~2 yuan per kebab
Great honest videos, don't change your style
Really enjoyed the video. Hopefully you guys can venture longer in China
you guys are so fun to watch. Hope you guys can station in China for long term and keep doing travel vlogs like this.
Thank you so much!
You guys are so cute❤ I would recommend going to the Muslim streets behind the Drum Tower, avoid the main street, hunting for food in smaller alleys
Welcome to China, have a good time.
This winter in China is colder than usual. I hope you can keep warm and healthy. Thank you for the great video.
感谢up主带我会念中国。说真的我上完学一定要会中国去看看。👏👏
you are typing chinese😢so where do you come from？
@@chiyiu0815 welp i am chinese but basicly i was studing out from my ocuntry.
Lovely food hunt!
You two are so cute!
Xi’An is one of my favorite cities in China. The food and history are unbeatable. No wonder it was the capital for so many dynasties.
这一期变成美食节目了! 还没有介绍古城长安呢。Suggest come to travel in Changsha-Huitang hot spring, high speed train to Zhangjiajie and Furongzhen (长沙-宁乡灰汤温泉-张家界-芙蓉镇)
I like your videos.I'm glad to see that you enjoy the food from those Chinese cities.
