If some tourists wouldn't be welcome in Wuhan, dont get surprised. Chinese have to be defensive against outside influences. The USA currently spend about US$ 200 million plus on anti China propganda and the media on both side backing it. Biden administration is the MOST anti China administration in USA history. There are at least 6 UA-cam channels I know that are producing mainly anti-China propganda. Anyway, thumbs up for your videos.

Wuhan is awesome,besides finding foreigner friendly hotels🤷I found the people in the streets so friendly looking,a stuning city😁wish you made a haircut video on it's own.The Chinise do a good hair cut,after African hair misshaps🤣Can't wait for more Wuhan🌆
Six hours traveling to get to Wuhan, hotel accommodations in disarray, and VPN issues are not an enjoyable way to start. You handled that all quite well, where speaking for myself, there would have been a lot of frustration and swearing 🤬 to go along! Considering your arrival issues here, you were still determined to show us a bit of Wuhan, and for that I say Thank You! Definitely looking forward to your next presentation from this small city of 10 million people! 😁🤞🇨🇳
Wow! Another great video Michele. I could tell from the start that you were tired and worn out from the trip. Looking forward to getting to the hotel as quick and easily that you could. Unfortunately, that first hotel wouldn't let you stay. 😞 The 2nd hotel looked very nice and the room was great! 🙂The old folks dancing on the street was cool. I liked the selection of street food available! Wow, a live animal market! By the way, cool Mickey Mouse phone case! The haircut and mind reader guy at the end were pretty good!
Hi Michele, Wuhan seems nice to be a nice town and there is a lot to enjoy. The boy was smart to guess your whereabouts or he had seen your channel. Thanks my friend and I enjoyed watching every minute of this video.🙏🙏💙💙
Oooomg so many people, woooow. Very very interesting city it seems. I see every where you go in China, the cities are very crowded. Getting a hotel room in the beginning was a challenge I see, hope everything will go well.
Czesc Michele, nice to see you. I confess have not seen much of you since you went to China. Glad to know you are still not frustrated by travel issues. Still staying smart after a good hair cut. Still finding/not fnding romance. Still speaking to locals. Still confounding misconceptions. I will start to watch more of your videos again. Planning to return to Europe by Christmas or?...
Dzieki, I’m going to Vietnam at the end of the month, and try to move around East Asia. At the moment I don’t have the cash to go back to Europe for Christmas
At the end she was able to find only $100 a night hotels while my budget was $113 for 4 nights :) But the person on trip,com chat found me an alternative and paid the difference for having made the mistake of making a foreigner book a Chinese only hotel. Anyway, us Italians are not huge fans of lots of French people either :)
You should make a video on everything to know before traveling to china, like how to make payments, do credit cards work? VPN, is there a “Uber” app in China? Stuff like that..
I just came back to the United States from visiting family in Wuhan. Even for someone who speaks the language, it's not easy to visit! Salute to your courage to take on this challenge! Wish they could put some effort into making things easier for foreigners to visit. Hopefully that will happen in the future. The city has a lot to offer.
Thank you for watching this video with an open mind and thank you for the donation, it means a lot to me! I have a couple of suggestions on how China could make things easier for tourists, but most locals dismiss me claiming they already have enough people. So it is what it is, but yes, Wuhan totally surprised me in a very positive way and I like it more than major cities like Chongqing
You know why some hotels dont take foreigner's in China? The answer is often small hotels doesn't have the permission to have foreigner's in their hotels, its not that they don't like foreigner's or anything like that.. I also heard its a bit complicated to get the permission and they also need another standard for foreigner's , which I understand. China is an enormous big country and they have enough people of their own. Anyway have a really good time in Wuhan and keep up with the great funny videos :D
I’ve heard all the explanations and all the excuses too :) but here is my theory: especially in second tier cities there is the prejudice that every foreigner is rich and that every foreigner wants to stay in 4 or 5 star hotels, so 2-3 start hotel m have lots of good quality empty rooms that I can’t rent because they don’t even try to get the license. Anyway, thank you for watching my videos!
Well their hotel industry is quite strange compared to other countries.Southeast Asia or East Asia are more welcoming.Wuhan is like Tsinghis Khan unique in power and fashion in its own sense.
If the hotel's business scope includes foreigners, you need to have a passport entry system, which will definitely incur maintenance costs. Then, you must equip employees who can speak English, which will increase the hotel's operating costs. And then you can't receive many foreigners in a year. If you were a hotel owner, would you choose to add costs that are not good for your own income?
@@jt-ttt No, of course you wouldn't do bad business.. I didn't say anything bad, I understand. Most of the ppl in the west (Europe and USA, Canada, etc.) has been fed with lies about China and many believe the lies. Thats why its good to have ppl like Ponte who shows the truth and others who shows the truth.. PS. I am a foreign spy, just saying! :)
Visiting Wuhan years ago, I found the city was not that friendly as other cities like Guangzhou/Shenzheng/Zhuhai. As I always said, Guangzhou/Shenzheng/Chengdu/Chongqing is a lot more opened and friendlier than the rest.
Tourist Not Welcome in Wuhan, China , pls. don't exaggerate things, each country have their own rules and regulation it happened China have a policy regarding hotels , usually small hotel or inn dosen't have a permit to accept foreigners, tourist are very much welcome to visit Wuhan if all bec. you don't want to spend extra cash for your hotel accommodation ,don't be stingy and blame China !
Stingy?! I spent thousands of dollars in China! Do you realize that only 5% of the world population can afford 4 and 5 star hotels? Stop being a prick and assuming that everyone has money: most tourists worldwide save cash the entire year to go on a 2 weeks vacation. I know tourists that in China after such situations they simply bought a tent and slept in parks because mst normal prices hotels wouldn't accept foreigners. Not everyone is rich!

Ahahah, Africans have very curly hair and male barbers never used scissors , instead Chinese hair are very similar to our Slavic hair

And fortunately traveling taught me some patience

That Mickey Mouse case I got it in Mexico. It kinda reminds of my childhood, when mom was making me wear a Mickey sweater :)
@@MichelePonte Cool Michele!
Hope Michele reaches 100k before new year!
I dream it happening in November!
the fact that he guessed Poland is crazy
Absolutely crazy!
Hi Michele, Wuhan seems nice to be a nice town and there is a lot to enjoy. The boy was smart to guess your whereabouts or he had seen your channel. Thanks my friend and I enjoyed watching every minute of this video.🙏🙏💙💙
I don’t think he knew me 🙂
Oh Michele, then he was a good guesser and intelligent in geography🙂
Heading there in a couple of weeks, can’t wait.
Nice!
Simply and amazing video nice haircut 👌 😍👍🏼
Thank you so much Barbara!

Big thanks
Good video, but that hotel situation would drive me nuts lol!
@ZoraZ😂
Maniacs, unfortunately the only solution is to stay calm and insist with the booking app (trip) that they must give you another room
Ciao Michele!
Ciao 🙂
Hello Ponte .Safe travel.
Thank you! You too!
Nice city & that Chinese guy is very intelligent by guessing your mom is from Poland. Enjoy your stay in Wuhan Michele!!
Thanks J!

Ciao Michele! Che contenuti! Complimenti! Ma in china com'è percepito la situazione? le persona stanno uscendo e spendono? o ancora sono timorose?
Grazie mille!
Degli amici cinesi mi hanno detto che evitano investimenti rischiosi, ma per il resto in bar e ristoranti spendono senza problemi
The hotel lady was so helpful. Help you to look for other hotels. I dun experience the same thing when I was in Paris. Extremely unfriendly place.
At the end she was able to find only $100 a night hotels while my budget was $113 for 4 nights :)
But the person on trip,com chat found me an alternative and paid the difference for having made the mistake of making a foreigner book a Chinese only hotel.

Wuhan looks hip. That guy at the end guessing where you are from... mmm was it luck or maybe he is a subscriber in disguise lol.
🤣 I think he stops every foreigner
You should make a video on everything to know before traveling to china, like how to make payments, do credit cards work? VPN, is there a “Uber” app in China? Stuff like that..
I thought about it many times, but maybe such a video is better in Short form
The Didi likes “uber”

shoutout to the guy at the end who guessed your native
Xi’an, Chongqing, Chengdu or Wuhan? Which city do you think is the most friendly towards foreigners?
Chengdu
I'm Chinese and have visited quite a few cities in China. Wuhan really is not my favourite... I also felt unwelcomed...
