The map I used was only meant as an animation to display the size of China not to accurately display or comment on its exact borders. Sorry for any misunderstandings. Taiwan is on my bucket list of places to visit if anyone has any suggestions on where to go and what to do! :)
wow, you will never know what a Right map mean to Chinese people. That can not be compared to an America draw a map but forget Alaska or Hawaii. I watched a video that New Zealand people protested that world map lost/forget or mis-cut out the islands just near Australia as well.
+Meri Ameni I understand what you are trying to say. But if someone asks you to put a map of USA on a video. You most likely will not put alaska, hawaii, and other territories of USA on it
As a Chinese who loves my motherland, I say ignore the people criticizing you about the map(from both sides). try not to get into politics, that's a can of worm you don't want to open. Chinese netizens on youtube deals with smear campaigns against China all the time. so naturally they are very sensitive about political issues. be the happy go lucky vlogger that you are, China is a continent disguised as a country have fun exploring it. safe travels in China and beyond =)
Poppy thank you so much for creating videos to clarify some misconceptions about china and sharing your experience in our country. I ve been lurking in youtube for a long time and you are the first youtuber to whom I wanna shout out thanks because I love your contents and they make me appreciate my country so much more. There are definitely many problems to solve in China and there is no doubt a gap between China and Western developed countries. But despite of it, it is more of a charming land than not, which many people from the west are not aware of. Thank you again and please contact me if you plan to come to Beijing :) (where I was born and am living now)
I'm glad I can help spread the word! I truly love this country so far and the more I learn about it the more I want to help educate and prove wrong the many stereotypes people make of China.
+Fayt Strife What do you know about China have you ever even been there? You sound so delusional. She never said China doesn't have any problems with pollution she just said not all of China is polluted which is absolutely correct, in fact many cities and places in China are not. I suggest you visit these places before talking about them, as a Chinese I can tell you not only does Shenzhen not feel too crowded, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Chongqing and most other cities in China do not, all of them are well planned with wide streets, plenty of space between buildings and lots of plantation+greenery.
+Fayt Strife After taking a look at your liked videos I genuinely feel sorry for you, liking videos with titles like "Woman tells Chinese woman to go back to China" and content from China Uncensored etc. it's pretty clear you're brainwashed beyond belief. There is no point in trying to show the truth to someone who just covers their eyes and says they're blind.
I absolutely love that you pointed the misconceptions. I'm from New Zealand but my mums Chinese and I go back there every year because the country is so incredibly stunning, people always ask me why you go back there - its so crowded and polluted.. for me, everyone just thinks that I'm only saying good things about China is because I'm Chinese but I actually love that place so freaking much. Thank u so much for making this video!!! 💕
Unlike restaurants in US that usually open from 11 am to 9 pm. For restaurants and bars in Shekou Sea World, working hours are 5 pm to 3 am. So there's no surprise that it's empty at 3 pm.
As a Chinese, I really appreciate the fact that you are promoting China and debunking those old misconceptions. Thanks so much for that. Yet I have to warn you that there are tons of anti-China haters on youtube, you need to pay attention.
The primary difference is short timers like her in the honeymoon phase, vs. vloggers that have been here for years and actually know what's up and aren't running on "new feeling" emotions.
Yeah, however the attitude of those who passed the honeymoon phase, is where the most whining begins and yet they still try to cling onto the 'do as romans do' idea and goes with the flow with an outsider's perspective rather than truly understanding the phenomenons and peculiarities that happen by immersing themselves in it, without prejudice.
Brande X no, the primary difference is that she's female and in China for pure fun, travel, and tourism whereas all those other vloggers are all males in China to teach English and get paid and laid. Even the videomaker's boyfriend will have a drastically better experience than let's say sexpatza, or laowhiner86. Every single female expat vlogging in China reports a far superior experience than the white male expats and I've yet to find a single girl that says otherwise.
Most of Asian countries are crowded. That's the case , but very reasonable city planning by Shen zhen government since 1980s , so the streets are broad enough totally, and they constructed a lot of big parks , So Shen zhen looks not so crowded.
I appreciate the fact that you do your research while posting videos like this, sometimes it's more convinced when you have some accurate numbers out there besides how you personally feel (and of course your personally experience is equally important). And you're just a pure joy to watch, I'm a girl, I'm straight, but i find you so attractive lol.
Awesome video! I like your channel very much. I have also been the 'Sea World' 3years ago when I was on business trip to Shenzhen, a lot of nice bars and restaurants, and that giant ship :) I hope someday you can explore more to other cities in this region as well, i.e. Dongguan, Huizhou, Guangzhou, Zhuhai etc.
You are so rocking these China videos, Poppy. Thank you for being another voice on this matter. The first time I was in mainland China was in 2010-2011. Going back to the U.S. and trying to explain these things was really trying at times. I swear I did the same SIZE face you did in this video, lol, cracks me up. Keep up the good work. There are good and bad things about every place and since there are already so many media opportunities to bash on China I am glad there are more and more people also showing the good sides as well. :) Steph
I subbed when you had a thousand now your at 5,000+ keep up the amazing content I love how you are shedding light on the culture and also giving some history. :)
When we first moved to Shekou in 1991 none of what you showed was there except for the Ming Hua ship! It looks so different now. The Ming Hua, if you can imagine, was at the water's edge not in the middle of town. They have reclaimed the sea. Thanks for sharing.
suprised that some people are annoyed at your videos are so factual based (compared to viral vlogging) but that's what I enjoy about them. i really respect that you try to research almost everything. :)
Hi Poppy, I want to let you know how much I love your videos! I just came back to my country after living in the States for five years, and you videos surely introduce a new perspective of China to foreigners who haven't got a chance to see it themselves. Bonne chance!
Great videos Poppy, keep it up! I figured out why I like your videos. There are three main reasons... 1) You are fun, genuine, and never boring with some outstanding editing skills. 2) Your videos are actually informative, with illustrations. 3) Your videos are real life videos without any ulterior motives or implicit propaganda / programming (as in the mainstream media).
Well， If u wanna have some fun in the sea， U might need to head east to YanTian(盐田). DaMeiSha(大梅沙)and XiaoMeiSha小梅沙 are two popular seaside resorts in ShenZhen， Visit on weekday，or its gonna be so crowed in weekend。 There‘s a Sheraton hotal in DaMeiSha，great view，strongly recommended. Hopefully, my opinion helps.Enjoy!!!
If you are searching for seaside/beach/kind of things, you should go to the eastern part of Shenzhen. These two beaches: Xiao Mei Sha (小梅沙) & Da Mei Sha (大梅沙) are the best. West coast of Shenzhen is full of commercial ports, for big ships docking not for swimming.
Go there during the weekdays. It will be super crowed on weekends. And yes, it will be hot and humid from June to August. And the weather become nice again ^^
Wow!! I have to say this again. How a such attractive lady like you can be so smart and objective. I really like the way you put things in perspective each time you are talking about a new topic regarding China. Please keep uploading your excellent videos.
hey, Poppy, I got a friend who's from San Diego is now working at NanShan, Shenzhen. U guys might wanna hang out with him and his a so called ’Chinese Tong‘ now，lol.
Thanks for this beautifully shot and edited video, Poppy. It is very interesting and informative. However, it's just too hot there in Shenzhen in the summer months. Hope you can get away from the heat for a while and go back there when the weather cools down.Enjoy your life in China with your boyfriend and make more videos like this. My best wishes.
Poppy, You are a smart young woman. I hope you will have a great career in journalism ! I really love your channel .. very informative and educative at the same time !!
Hi Poppy, just give you some basic ideas. 3pm in the afternoon is usually the noon break time. Very few restaurants open around that time especially in summer.
Your videos are always so well done and informative, thanks for showing people what China's truly like. The ship is a hotel now actually I don't know if they'd allow you to take a look inside without getting a room either way it's super cool.
Frankly Shenzhen is not a place for some foreigners who are eager to explore Chinese culture. Beijing Hangzhou and Xi'an are the better combinations of the modernity and the traditions of China
However, foreigners show also bear in mind that every region is different and not some homogeneous whole, so Beijing, Hangzhou, Xi'an culture does not constitute as traditional china but a small part of traditional China tied with modernity.
And if you cell died very frequently, buy a power bank in ShenZhen, its famous for its electric market. The capacity is way much higher than what you can buy in US. A 20000 mAh power bank might only cost you 25USD or 180RMB. lol
I'm so happy to watch videos like this that are showing the real China to the world. I lived in LA for 3 years and in Toronto, Canada for over a year now, and I learnt that even in a country that has a mosaic culture such as Canada, there's still tons of stereotypes against China. My colleague even said once 'I thought Chinese people don't like dogs', when I told her I like dogs. So, as I saw people walking their dogs in your video, it really makes me wanna show my colleague right away your video so that she could understand that most people there in China are just as normal people as they are. People wake up, people grab coffee, people go to work, and people go back home and have fun with their family and that's it, just normal life. Anyways, thanks so much for your videos, really love them.
Hi Poppy. Thanks to UA-cam's recommendation, here I am, watching your show. At 3:34 you mentioned about lack of business in restaurants during non rush hours. Well, that's what it is like in China. You can go to any restaurants and bars and they will be empty at 3PM, if they even open at all. You are doing great, keep it up! Thank you very much!
What a coincidence! I was raised up in Shenzhen and I just came to San Diego for my graduate study several months ago. Both cities are amazing and I love them so much!!
Hi Poppy thanks for the video and so happy you are enjoying your stay there. I live very close to the sea world. Just that I am working in Gabon right now. Maybe i will see you in street when i am back for vacation :) All the best!
Thanks for posting these. I am a New Zealander with a Chinese partner and we travel there each year and have apartments in Chengdu, Hangzhou and just out of Beijinb. I love China and it's nice to see other perspectives of the country. I watch Laowhy86 and ADV, etc. so it's wonderful to have yet another view.
My friend's family actually owns the ship, and she had invited us to the restaurant on the top of the ship several times :). If you like amusement parks, Huan le Gu (Happy Valley?) is definitely worth your time. If you like seafood, you need to go to Nan Ao, which has all the fresh seafood, and they are AMAZING. Nightclubs/bars (around coco park) are fun too if you are into it. Hope you enjoy your visit in SZ :)
Very informative and nice tour. Lots of info packed into a few minutes. But- felt like I was hearing a Casey N. formula vlog with gestures and transitions.
Poppy! You should make a video of the Happy Valley amusement park in Shenzhen. Those roller coasters are awesome, the park is beautiful, and all the amenities are very reasonably priced. Have you been there yet?
Macau, a small city near Hong Kong (and also a Special Administrated Region of China) has the population density of 21,236 people per sq km, which is ranked in the first place in the world. It's a gambling city, like Vegas, but also pretty beautiful. Maybe go and take a look some time ;) It's not far from Shenzhen.
I was literately born and raised at this spot (shekou), and spent my early childhood in sea world (as my dad used to work there as the beach manager). While I'm currently living and working in NYC now, would love to catch up with you (and of course your man) when I travel back later this year. Enjoy Shenzhen, lovely town!
Poppy, thank you for the information and the tours you did in Chine, I really want to go and visit and this is actually helping me with my university work ..
It is funny that you stitched the carps videos with density of population together. Just hope it didn’t offend anybody. Great video and keep doing more !
I just copy and paste the same comment I left under your friend, travel light's video . Thank you for saying out loud what you really see and feel about China, not just listening to the comments from the medias or the other people. You and Travellight should travel around and see more of China, because there is just so much more for you to see and experience . I am living in Xiamen, Fujian Province, a much less modern and smaller city to the north east of Shenzhen, but also beautiful. Feel free to ask me for any advice if you ever come to visit Xiamen. Good luck and welcome to China ^.^
Hi Poppy, thanks for your video letting people know about the real China, instead of the CNN covers..... by the way, I am in US for years, loving your country as well....if you got more time, take the train travaling across China, will be more fun...
Poppy if you like mountaining, you should go visit Nan Shan. It is right next to the sea world ! It is a much steeper experience than Lian Hua Shan ! :) And the exit of Nan Shan is right in front of the seaworld and you can just buy food and drink right away after exhausting yourself from mountaining. At least that what I did with my buddy when we were there, and in the torching August and it was not bad ! Looking forward for more videos Poppy :)
go to Huaqiangbei, North. HQ mart to find a new tripod. I got a sturdy one for 30RMB. The heat gets more bearable the more time you stay here. People sleep during the day. ifyou want something just wake them up. I'm glad your enjoying China
Thought you were bit of a bimbo at first but it seems you're pretty open-minded and genuinely interested in understanding different cultures and ideas.
Nice video! Still remember the days when that ship wasn't surrounded by reclaimed land. Now the area and Shekou in general is so much 'trendier' and more westernised.
Hey! Great to see that your unique experience in China. If you want explore more traditional things in China, you may consider some cities like Chengdu and Chongqing!
lol@ the Chinese Guerillas' Song at 0:27. If I remember correctly, the first line of lyrics to that song is "we're all sharpshooters, one shot one kill."
as chinese,I have to say,there are developed cities,and there are poor area,like in gansu,shanxi province.....but I love shanxi, shanxi contains most ancient buildings in china....
Guizhou is beautiful too. In Guizhou, they have the largest waterfall of Asia and the Miao Village of south-west China. I have been there for twice, and I didn't see foreigners go there, maybe you can search for the information about Guizhou(貴州).
About the the guy was sleeping while you were waiting for his service. The happy time starts after the sunset in that pub's area. You came there on the wrong time. LOL.
The map I used was only meant as an animation to display the size of China not to accurately display or comment on its exact borders. Sorry for any misunderstandings. Taiwan is on my bucket list of places to visit if anyone has any suggestions on where to go and what to do! :)
wow, you will never know what a Right map mean to Chinese people. That can not be compared to an America draw a map but forget Alaska or Hawaii. I watched a video that New Zealand people protested that world map lost/forget or mis-cut out the islands just near Australia as well.

be the happy go lucky vlogger that you are, China is a continent disguised as a country have fun exploring it. safe travels in China and beyond =)
Agreed, never try to debate with the Chinese Nationalism especially on website post.
+Ray King Not everyone that is Pro-China is part of the "50 cent army". And likewise not everyone that is Pro-US is part of CIA's propaganda...
Thank you so much for promoting China to the world! Hope you will enjoy enjoy your stay!
Thank you!!
She is on someone's payroll... not sure who's yet
niubilabahani she is using a political wrong China's map, which Taiwan is exclude, in cover picture of this video. so no way the party support her.
Google, UA-cam both banned in China. Gotta keep that outside info away from the ignorant masses.
China is NOT this good.... but China is NOT that bad either..

I like so much your edition! I went to China and it happened the same to me: my mind about Chinese culture completely changed! Thanks for your videos!
awesome video Poppy! so cool to see how many subscribers you just gained! keep the videos coming!
I absolutely love that you pointed the misconceptions. I'm from New Zealand but my mums Chinese and I go back there every year because the country is so incredibly stunning, people always ask me why you go back there - its so crowded and polluted.. for me, everyone just thinks that I'm only saying good things about China is because I'm Chinese but I actually love that place so freaking much.

东湾是哪。。Berkeley/Oakland么？
As a Chinese, I really appreciate the fact that you are promoting China and debunking those old misconceptions. Thanks so much for that. Yet I have to warn you that there are tons of anti-China haters on youtube, you need to pay attention.
不要啊战略忽悠好不容易让美国相信咱们在衰退
Nice to get a different (upbeat) perspective. Some of the other ex-pat in China youtubers tend to have a really jaded vibe
The primary difference is short timers like her in the honeymoon phase, vs. vloggers that have been here for years and actually know what's up and aren't running on "new feeling" emotions.
Yeah, however the attitude of those who passed the honeymoon phase, is where the most whining begins and yet they still try to cling onto the 'do as romans do' idea and goes with the flow with an outsider's perspective rather than truly understanding the phenomenons and peculiarities that happen by immersing themselves in it, without prejudice.
Brande X no, the primary difference is that she's female and in China for pure fun, travel, and tourism whereas all those other vloggers are all males in China to teach English and get paid and laid. Even the videomaker's boyfriend will have a drastically better experience than let's say sexpatza, or laowhiner86. Every single female expat vlogging in China reports a far superior experience than the white male expats and I've yet to find a single girl that says otherwise.
Matt Schwartz Nice strawman. Carefully reread what I wrote, and the comment I was refuting.
Matt Schwartz I think the word you were looking for is sexpat my friend
great edits, great cuts, great stories you tell, very interesting and kinda addicting to watch!
Awesome! Glad you like my videos :)
Ahh I am actually going to China to study at a university in Shanghai and this made me excited! Great videos and keep up the work :)
Thank you!!! That's awesome, good luck in university!
LOL max troll =) funny.
Blake Harrell which university
Most of Asian countries are crowded. That's the case , but very reasonable city planning by Shen zhen government since 1980s , so the streets are broad enough totally, and they constructed a lot of big parks , So Shen zhen looks not so crowded.
Wei Zhang Most Asian counties are as tiny as a Chinese province or a county...
The point is China is way larger than any other Asian counties
one of the reason china appears to be so crowded is that most of the population is on the east coast of China. The interior is sparsely empty.
Steve its mostly desert in western province
Don't call Sichuan a desert :)
I appreciate the fact that you do your research while posting videos like this, sometimes it's more convinced when you have some accurate numbers out there besides how you personally feel (and of course your personally experience is equally important). And you're just a pure joy to watch, I'm a girl, I'm straight, but i find you so attractive lol.

I wanna live in China for a bit now
love your videos and I appreciate the information. blessed love
The BGM you use here is hilarious. I'm from Shenzhen and liked your video a lot!
If you are searching for seaside/beach/kind of things, you should go to the eastern part of Shenzhen. These two beaches: Xiao Mei Sha (小梅沙) & Da Mei Sha (大梅沙) are the best. West coast of Shenzhen is full of commercial ports, for big ships docking not for swimming.
Sounds amazing I will look into it, thanks!

Youpie Curry So attractive women can't be smart???.😮
F. T calm down i assume they mean well and it is a rarity for open mindedness in people in general these days haha
Is should be no surprise that a woman can be attractive and smart. Please think about the implications of your words.
You are so good with the figures and acknowledgement It differs you from other vloggers
Your videos are awesome, very well edited, enjoy them a lot. I feel I'm in the place experiencing the trip. Thank you for sharing. You are very nice.
Thank you for standing out and pointing out these misunderstanding of my country! Love your video! Keep this way!
well， as a guy who's from Shenzhen and now living in Canada,I Gonna say great job ,and you might like the night life in LuoHu area!
hey, Poppy, I got a friend who's from San Diego is now working at NanShan, Shenzhen. U guys might wanna hang out with him and his a so called ’Chinese Tong‘ now，lol.
Victor Ling. are you a female
Another great video. Have subscribed 👍🏻
Very interesting channel. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for breaking some stereotypes. With less Stereotyping, the world would be a much better place.
Thanks for this beautifully shot and edited video, Poppy. It is very interesting and informative. However, it's just too hot there in Shenzhen in the summer months. Hope you can get away from the heat for a while and go back there when the weather cools down.Enjoy your life in China with your boyfriend and make more videos like this. My best wishes.
The best time to visit China is mid October to late November. Summer is damn hot & humid and winter is crazy cold & windy.
Well it depends where you go but yes
Poppy, You are a smart young woman. I hope you will have a great career in journalism ! I really love your channel .. very informative and educative at the same time !!
These China videos are fantastic. Subscribed.
Really like this video. I born in Shenzhen, but now I study my major in Berkeley. I really miss my hometown. 😂😂😂
With love from Canada wish you all the best!
Great video Poppy, you have such a lovely and positive personality. I just subscribed and I'm a shenzhen vlogger too 😁😁😁
Hi Poppy, just give you some basic ideas. 3pm in the afternoon is usually the noon break time. Very few restaurants open around that time especially in summer.
Happy New Year my favorite asian UA-camrs.
Your videos are always so well done and informative, thanks for showing people what China's truly like. The ship is a hotel now actually I don't know if they'd allow you to take a look inside without getting a room either way it's super cool.
Frankly Shenzhen is not a place for some foreigners who are eager to explore Chinese culture. Beijing Hangzhou and Xi'an are the better combinations of the modernity and the traditions of China
However, foreigners show also bear in mind that every region is different and not some homogeneous whole, so Beijing, Hangzhou, Xi'an culture does not constitute as traditional china but a small part of traditional China tied with modernity.
true
This is my first time watching your channel. Great videography, Thanks!! Going to check out you previos
vids!!
Hope you will enjoy your stay Poppy. Love your video!
And if you cell died very frequently, buy a power bank in ShenZhen, its famous for its electric market. The capacity is way much higher than what you can buy in US. A 20000 mAh power bank might only cost you 25USD or 180RMB. lol
Really enjoying your video adventures. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your videos!
I'm so happy to watch videos like this that are showing the real China to the world.

So, as I saw people walking their dogs in your video, it really makes me wanna show my colleague right away your video so that she could understand that most people there in China are just as normal people as they are. People wake up, people grab coffee, people go to work, and people go back home and have fun with their family and that's it, just normal life.

Great video, hope you have a great trip in China👍🏼 keep going!!!!
I'm a Chinese who lives overseas now. I couldn't agree with you more.
Love the vids, keep it up!
very nice video,thank you for sharing
WOW,AWESOME VLOG,hope one day we can meet in SHENZHEN,I am Shenzhener too.
What a coincidence! I was raised up in Shenzhen and I just came to San Diego for my graduate study several months ago. Both cities are amazing and I love them so much!!
Nice work :) keep it up

Nightclubs/bars (around coco park) are fun too if you are into it. Hope you enjoy your visit in SZ :)
Love your video!
Very informative and nice tour. Lots of info packed into a few minutes. But- felt like I was hearing a Casey N. formula vlog with gestures and transitions.
Poppy! You should make a video of the Happy Valley amusement park in Shenzhen. Those roller coasters are awesome, the park is beautiful, and all the amenities are very reasonably priced. Have you been there yet?

博主一直都在宣传中国积极的一面，只是或许对于中国内部的政治问题不够了解，至于一个个跳出来吗？你在意Catalonia是不是西班牙的一部分？你在意Quebec是不是加拿大的一部分？台湾是不是中国的，这是我们自己的事儿，外国人？说白了，who 他妈 cares？
对，我也越来越发现了，解释啥的都是白费功夫，有实力拿回来就行了。
其实欧美说中国不好的声音足够响了，我们自己的问题自己要敢说，不要期望别人来帮忙
Dian Wu 政治是政治家的事，我反正也不是这个专业。生活不谈政治还有多的去的事，谁他妈care台湾是不是中国的一部分，反正我也没去过，也没打算去。魁北克独立是应该的，加泰罗尼亚最好也是，顺便科西嘉岛个独立吧，可惜的是法国政府移了很多法国人去科西嘉岛，导致独立的人成了少部分。天下乌鸦一般黑，看得见别人黑看不到自己黑。不喜欢中国就移民呗，大不了没钱的技术移民，有钱的投资移民，你是个人才，没地方不要你。除非既没学历又没钱，语言好说不好。这集老老实实待在国内吧。
有些事，自己不争取的话，没人会帮你。
Light N Shadow 台湾属不属于中国干你屁事？跟你有关吗？你脑子都被洗白了
Macau, a small city near Hong Kong (and also a Special Administrated Region of China) has the population density of 21,236 people per sq km, which is ranked in the first place in the world. It's a gambling city, like Vegas, but also pretty beautiful. Maybe go and take a look some time ;) It's not far from Shenzhen.
Thank you so much for sharing your life in China!!! :)
Very interesting, thank you.
I was literately born and raised at this spot (shekou), and spent my early childhood in sea world (as my dad used to work there as the beach manager). While I'm currently living and working in NYC now, would love to catch up with you (and of course your man) when I travel back later this year. Enjoy Shenzhen, lovely town!
Poppy, thank you for the information and the tours you did in Chine, I really want to go and visit and this is actually helping me with my university work ..
I'm really looking forward that you could travel inner land of China and do some videos.
It is funny that you stitched the carps videos with density of population together. Just hope it didn’t offend anybody. Great video and keep doing more !
Lived there for 4 years in Shekou lol. Good luck and have fun! Don't forget to explore Mount Wutong lol !
I love your video and it’s really interesting and I’m planning on coming to China next year so I’m going to subscribe.
Man, man, man do we (as I think I can speak for some other fans) miss your China vlogs! Excited to see you and Jordan back there again.
I just copy and paste the same comment I left under your friend, travel light's video .
Thank you for saying out loud what you really see and feel about China, not just listening to the comments from the medias or the other people. You and Travellight should travel around and see more of China, because there is just so much more for you to see and experience . I am living in Xiamen, Fujian Province, a much less modern and smaller city to the north east of Shenzhen, but also beautiful. Feel free to ask me for any advice if you ever come to visit Xiamen. Good luck and welcome to China ^.^
they didnt open at 3:00PM because it is not lunch time, almost nobody eat at that time.
Great video! Thank you!
awesome vid
Thank you!!
It's rare to see people promoting my home country and it almost feels weird when people talk positively about it. I really appreciate it.
Hi Poppy, thanks for your video letting people know about the real China, instead of the CNN covers..... by the way, I am in US for years, loving your country as well....if you got more time, take the train travaling across China, will be more fun...
thanks for clarifying those misconceptions.
Poppy if you like mountaining, you should go visit Nan Shan. It is right next to the sea world ! It is a much steeper experience than Lian Hua Shan ! :) And the exit of Nan Shan is right in front of the seaworld and you can just buy food and drink right away after exhausting yourself from mountaining. At least that what I did with my buddy when we were there, and in the torching August and it was not bad ! Looking forward for more videos Poppy :)
go to Huaqiangbei, North. HQ mart to find a new tripod. I got a sturdy one for 30RMB. The heat gets more bearable the more time you stay here. People sleep during the day. ifyou want something just wake them up. I'm glad your enjoying China
Thought you were bit of a bimbo at first but it seems you're pretty open-minded and genuinely interested in understanding different cultures and ideas.
.m. yeah, poppy is such a lovely person. China welcomes all open-minded people, regardless of their race, language and belief.
Matt Schwartz you know what, those who only think about politics are narrow minded.
Matt Schwartz if all you do is trash my country, then shut the hell up. We will o take lessons from arrogant westerners.
Nice video! Still remember the days when that ship wasn't surrounded by reclaimed land. Now the area and Shekou in general is so much 'trendier' and more westernised.
That tea in a cake thing looks fantastic, where did you get that?
Great usage of VPN ;)
Hey! Great to see that your unique experience in China. If you want explore more traditional things in China, you may consider some cities like Chengdu and Chongqing!
lol@ the Chinese Guerillas' Song at 0:27. If I remember correctly, the first line of lyrics to that song is "we're all sharpshooters, one shot one kill."
merdufer I was shocked too... nice pick
merdufer That's for Japanese army during WWII
editing si getting better.....more fun to watch...
as chinese,I have to say,there are developed cities,and there are poor area,like in gansu,shanxi province.....but I love shanxi, shanxi contains most ancient buildings in china....
Guizhou is beautiful too. In Guizhou, they have the largest waterfall of Asia and the Miao Village of south-west China. I have been there for twice, and I didn't see foreigners go there, maybe you can search for the information about Guizhou(貴州).
About the the guy was sleeping while you were waiting for his service. The happy time starts after the sunset in that pub's area. You came there on the wrong time. LOL.
Hey Poppy, I just moved to Shenzhen (Namshan District) and I'm wondering what maps app you use?? Thanks
