"Do you have any style icons, Shady?"
"Yeah, I LOOK IN THE MIRROR."
I want this confidence.
@Eni looks like he has spent some time abroad bc he's not like the typical shy chinese, i can say a lot of people here in the US acts that way if u go out with friends of ur friends no matter if is a guy or girl. They both connected bc she's also cool and have that funny personality.
@@ILoveManCity. Fuzhou is one of the Chinese cities with most American immigrant. The Fuzhounese Chinese controls the Chinatown in New York.
@@stevenchen5460 Wow that's so cool to know, thanks for the info. I have always loved asian culture & currently have spent last couple months learning about Chinese Dynasties (chronologically) and how the Qing Emperors controlled the empire from the Forbidden city & live with the harem.
Fuzhou is the hometown of many Chinese who go overseas.
Lol yeah .. it's my ancestrial home. alot of foochows overseas because foochow was the major trade port and military port of China for many years.
My grandfather came from Fu Zhou to Indonesia 80 years ago. I am 3rd generation Chinese here and most of us the grandchildren are millionaires here.
I am still not liking Fu Zhou food though. Maybe that's why they are not famous =P
@@nsebast wow I am also a 3rd generation Indonesian Chinese who traces my origin to Fuzhou!
是
Taiwan is a good example.Although my ancestors are from Jiangxi.
例如台灣 雖然我祖籍在江西😂
When he said spicy food, I could't help laughing
some of local food maybe a little bit spicy，but compared with food in 四川😂 its not spicy at all
Fuzhou embraces tons of Sichuan&Chongqing restaurants, probably even more than local food restaurants.
maybe spicy to his taste, but definitely not the real spicy food in China
@@brianplum1825 Heat levels are all relative ..... Try telling someone from Thailand and Mexico that 四川 is really spicy. )
Finally my hometown!!!
btw, the reason why Fuzhou spent 8 years to build metro is that the soil property is too soft so it is very time-consuming and money costing to build this metro.
Enjoy this wonderful city! :)
Thanks for sharing that info!!!!
@@BlondieinChina There are 4 more metro line will open during the next few years. Citys like Shanghai and Beijing, they start building metro decades ago, that is why they already have so many lines.
@@BlondieinChina actually another reason is that my hometown is a very ancient city for thousands of years. When they dig underground they found a lot of ancient ruins under many stations, which they had to halt and call experts for help, months later to resume building the subway.
@@lyzgeorge That makes sense. The shallower to the surface, the more useful a rail line. In Roma, Italia it takes forever to build a metro line for this reason. The build quick option is to build deep, but at stations a slow excavation is needed to recover historical artefacts - Fuzhou must have preserved much history by taking the time to do archaeology.
还有一方面是政府内耗，早期原本是中铁承建的吧？后面不知道啥原因，中铁不建了，政府转而给中交。
Shady absolutely deserves to start his own UA-cam channel
Fuzhou is my family’s hometown and it’s port for many people who left overseas.
Wow,Fuzhou is my hometown,very happy to see u show us fuzhou view and culture.Thank you.
I get super excited when I see new videos from you!! I love the way you do your videos! I also had an interest in China and you make it more enjoyable by showing many different things! Plus you give me hope for learning Chinese haha. I hope you continue to grow and travel more ❤️
Love the charisma especially when you're travelling with funny dudes.
Welcome to my hometown. Fuzhou is also called "city of banyan", there were thousands of banyan trees in this city. You may try some other Fuzhou foods, like rouyan(fuzhou wonton )， dingbianhu(rice patter), xianmianhu, which are all famous for their fresh and delicious soup with seafood and shrimp sauce . Fuzhouers were the earliest immigrants to SE Asia, and in NY city, there are tens of thousand Fuzhouers now.😃
Wishing all your friends and family and fellow citizens safety in the horrible fires going on in Australia.
Thanks for being such a positive force. Such enjoyable videos!
I love Shady. He cracks me up.
Great job Amy, thank you for this amazing vlog, see you next time😄😄
Thanks Shady!!!!!!
Hey Dude,
You the one of attraction of this Video 🤩
You should try in movies, Come to India after Pandemic 🙏
爱你中国
谢谢
Hi Amy! I think the "thousand-year Chrismas tree" is the big Ficus microcarpa(榕树) in the Forest Park~ Fuzhou is famous for this kind of tree, and it's even called 榕城(the city of Ficus microcarpa). This paticular one in the Forest Park is more than one thousand years old, and it's so big that it looks like a hill. Don't miss it when you go to Fuzhou next time!
Hi Amy, spring water spa is one of the Fuzhou’s features. And you can also try the different flavors of dried olives and Fujian Tea.😊
AH! my hometown. watching this makes me so happy. Thanks!
Lol 😂 indeed that’s what am eating always in China for breakfasts 🌽!!! I loved ur look today the cap and braids , and my favorite part was the unexpected rap ! Haha 😆👏🏻✨nice relaxed and fun vlog with locals
Wow, I've been living in Fuzhou for almost 10 years. It's very nice to see your video about Fuzhou. I've been to every place that your video showed.
Fuzhou is so closed to Xiamen 夏門 and Xunlangyu 豉浪嶼 that you should take couple days to visit there. By the way, Fujian Tulou 福建土樓 is world class famous building and you shouldn’t miss it.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujian_tulou
This was so great!! Such fun!
My hometown!! Q~Q Thank you for all the work, those places, foods et people, they are sooo precious for a girl who hasn't been home more than two years!!
谢谢，请继续享受旅程~
Great timing for this video, I'm heading to Fuzhou in a few weeks time and I thought it was a shame you didn't have a video about it because there wasn't much to find on UA-cam - looking forward to watching this video 😁
What a fun day out!
From the most sparse subway map to eating delicious-looking food in the company of two cool hangouters and wrapped up with a lovely rap! :D
it was indeed a very lovely day !
Beautiful, both you and the city!
Great video! You make people know more about this city!
I’m glade that you’re enjoy the capital city of my home province.
You should visit my hometown Changle, Fujian that’s where my entire family and relative came from.
Absolute blessing since they introduced direct flights from Sydney to Fuzhou!!! All me relatives are from Fuzhou and it's so much more convenient for me
Ahh the place I grew up in, miss the typhoon because we get school off and it's quite fun listening to the wind ravage through the town and 6:20 that's what she said ;)
Awesome Amy!! So happy to have had the chance to collab with you :) happy new year 🥳
So cool! My parents hometown!
Oh! Really love your smile!
I love this type of videos!
So Glad seeing you travel in my hometown! I'm staying here over Chinese newyears and i've always been thinking that nobody besides locals would bother coming Here😂😂
Cool vid, I spend the odd few years in Fuzhou (about a decade).
Funny seeing Aaron in this video, must have been shortly before he went back to the UK.
My son lived near there in Putian City for five years. He took many trips to Fuzhou, it's nice to see some more of this city!
I super duper love your videos 😘and you do have a great contents,keep up the good work. Lots of love from Kenya,Africa💖
Welcome to my hometown!!!
My wife and I plan on moving to China soon, we were looking at apartments in Shantou. From Shantou then visit a whole bunch of cities nearby. It seems so easy to travel around by train.
Shantou is quite a nice place. You cant get enough of its beef hotpot and late-night supper!
Beef hot pot is a miracle!!!!
Stephen Song wait? Shantou? My hometown!!!!! 胶己人！
Q S I cannot agree more！
Finally my hometown. They should bring you to other attractions like Drum mountain and the West Lake. Where is the famous pork meat ball wrapped in pork skin? Peanut noodle and flat meat wonton? It's like this video is part one of two.
As always. You're awesome.
They completely contradicted each other about the food. 😂
yeah but the sweet one is true, east China does not eat much spice.
@@yilongliu2353 east China does NOT eat spicy
@@louisethonvison4669 my bad, typed wrong
Thanks for this video. Some of the images made me so nastelgic. I was born in Fuzhou and came to Australia when I was 7 but don't recall the local food being spicy. I think it might be an effect of inter-provincial cultural exchange. In Melbourne you can buy the meat filled fishballs in Chinese supermarkets and these are made by a family friend! Also my extended family lives close to that bridge 6:58!
Great collab with you guys.
Love your videos and your charisma ! Plenty of interesting contents in your videos. Hope you have a lot more subscribers !
Dali says hi!! As always - super fun!!!! LOVE watching these!
Ahhh need to pay a visit asap!!
You are always welcome!!!! Dali would love to have you!!!
Also - my son just came in and said “Did Blondie just post a new video?????” He was excited!!!!
I Heart China OMG that is the cutest! Can’t wait to meet him!
@@iheartchina8160 I love videos you made about making food for your family, hope you enjoy your trip in China!
This is great! You've put Fuzhou on the map for us! We have been living in Xi'an for the past three years and NEED to see more of this side of China! We're so happy to see this collab btw! 😄
Fuzhou is capital city of Fujian province, China's least existent provincial capital
Before the high speed train, we often took long distance bus between these cities. Never thought of "walking".
"Can you rap?"
"You finally ask, what do u think I am wearing sunglasses for in gloomy day."
😂😂😂 the friend is too funny. But love the cinematic parts! 👍👍👍
This video was so funny and cool! Thanks!
fuzhou is my hometown, I love your video blondie!
The video is great! Tip, upload the ticket QR code to network, remember to add the mosaic
Really recommend you schedule a plan to Xiamen. Xiamen is so beautiful.
that's dope. My second hometown is Fuzhou. Welcome to Fuzhou. Have fun Blondie
Such a fun video, made me wish I was there with y'all!
Welcome to my hometown fuzhou! Hope you enjoy your trip
Shady is a vibe!!!
You guys bounced off each other well, great vibe and funny. You all should do more video's together
中亭街was build as a mutiplex center for high end living/shopping. Unfortunately something went down with the development company and so now it’s a place for cheap whole sale. Hence why it has such a glorious exterior.
My goodness!...I’m sooo jealous you speak Chinese so well...which is gd for you...
Fujian was left out from development because it close vicinity with Taiwan. However it is a blessing in disguise because lot of natural greenery are still there.
Enjoy all of your videos :) Btw, after visiting Fuzhou and Quanzhou in Fujian, did you visit Xiamen as well? This city is underrated, but actually have so many interesting places. Zhongshan Road, Nanputou Temple, Gulangyu Island, Botanical Garden, and much more. The foods are incredible too, especially at Zhongshan Road.
this is my parents hometown!! I’m so excited that you decided to visit and film!!
Having lived in the US for so many year, I kind of miss Fuzhou food despite I hate hate sweet dishes in the US. The famous "Chinese dish" called sesame chicken, is similar to the lychee rou. And of course the Fuzhou fish ball. Lucky it can found easily from local Asian grocery stores. But the "rou yan/肉燕" can only be found in Fuzhou.
My first time to visit Fujian and Fuzhou. We were in Fujian with my family and relatives. Then We took train to Fuzhou and stay there for 2 days 1 night. That was January 2020. I didnt expect they have train there straight to HongKong
Oh, Blondie dear, u missed a wonderful place which named Yantaishan (烟台山) there is the former foreigner's settlement (1840s-1949) in Fuzhou ( Foochow in that era), lovely place indeed, a lot of western architectures, you just need to cross the bridge in the end of video.
Great video! Hope to meet you in Harbin, soon!
Happy to see my hometown here.
I worked 13 years for severals month， thanks for bringing me back
wow, I went to china in Fuzhou Fujian, kinda hoping by miracle that I would see you and then when I came back, the first thing I see is your new video in some of the same places I've been too...
Shame we didn't run into each other! Such a lovely place
I'm new to the channel but I'm here for shady
That food conversation is hilarious, understandably only happens amongst foreigners.
Shady is AWESOME !
it seems he did his thing very well ~
I see my home in this video!!! So touched for an oversee student!
Love your video so much. I've been watching all your vlog. Keep up the great job. BTW. May I know what's the brand and model of the camera you use on your back pack. Looks interesting.
从你刚开始来中国拍视频的时候就已经关注你了，那时候你还不会中文，但现在这么多年过去了，你中文有了很大的提高，也谢谢你分享美丽的中国城市
Thanks for the video. Making me homesick now 😥
I’m totally Fuzhouness so glad to watch video of Fuzhou
FYI, Fujian and Tasmania are sister states, I think this year marks 39th anniversary of that relationship.
I found many places in China like spicy food and put a pot of hot red pepper on the tables. For example in Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi...
Do visit Sibu and Sarikei, Sarawak, Malaysia for more modern Fuzhou foods! Most of us are here too!!! Must try Kampua and Kong bian!
By the way, even if you have proxy and you use Google Maps in mainland China, the info it provides isn't up-to-date. Apple Maps works well in mainland China, it uses Amap(高德地图）'s data.
1:06 Oh! my house is opposite. I should be playing EU4 at home
8:00 This street is called Zhongting street. It's the commercial center of old Fuzhou, so there are many buildings of 20th century style. But now it's not as prosperous as before, but the street is still very busy
Fuzhou is an interesting city with 2 subway lines Amy. Vancouver, Canada has one more with 3 lines.
Hope your family is fine in Australia with all the forest fires...lost a large number of animals and homes.
I just spent 2 weeks in Fuzhou. It was really great ❤️❤️
love how happy she is in her vids xD.
My hometown.
Hi Blondie, nice video again! Why not explore the winter in northeast part of China? That would be a lot fun!
OHHHHHHHHHH! never thought someone on youtube would do a Vlog at my home city. (people like to use DiDi/Taxi or just bus, ignoring the train line lmao) (sry our river is a bit polluted XD)
I also recommend you to visit 厦门 it's like an hour by 地铁, really cool place.
40% of the Chinese living in the US came from small towns in Fuzhou.
Woah that’s so interesting how did I not know this before
数字夸张了，不过，世界怕美国，美国怕长乐。
No, that's not true. Chinese-Americans are overwhelmingly Cantonese. Fuzhou people consist of a much smaller minority and are more recent immigrants to the US.
Qiu S is it? China people migration to USA is only in recent decades. They mostly come from northern China or elsewhere. For centuries, the China people who migrated overseas are Han Chinese who are mostly from Guangdong and Fujian, and they mostly settled down in. Southeast Asia, even Australia. Southeast Asia has largest population of overseas Chinese in the world.
@@Tekhelet75 For God's sake. Go visit San Francisco and you'll run into Chinese who've settled in the city for many generations. There were so many Chinese in America that it generated a discrimination backlash and the Chinese-Exclusion Act of 1882 in U.S.
Fuzhou - my ancestors land
Me too... Bro
my grandmother was born there and I think she has reincarnated there. She liked living in America but her heart was always in Fuzhou
By the way, if u r planning to visit beijing again, i can recommend the best restaurants that serves local food, bars and pubs that are hidden in the ally ways(胡同），some chic ally ways with shop which locals love, and indeed tourist attractions.
That would be awesome! I'm planning on doing a beijing restaurant video series so your tips would be greatly appreciated!!
@@BlondieinChina Yes!!! I'll recommend you the most local dining outlets which are hard to discover.
1. Beijing Duck: 利群 (a famous old restaurant that servers the best ducks, many foreign government officials have visited. Duck needs to be reserved ahead, but only duck, seats are not included, patient and waiting are usually required. the ducks here is more fatty than the ones we get in 大董, 大董 is also good tho.
2. Zhajiang Noodles炸酱面：the address is "方砖厂胡同69号“ it's close to 南锣鼓巷， the most famous hutong in beijing.
3. beijing hotpot涮羊肉：I recommend 老门框爆肚涮肉， it's a chain restaurant with 6 outlets, when r u searching for it, please make sure to type exact same name from above, cuz there r fake ones.
4. 卤煮火烧，this is Beijingers' favorite dish for late night, many restaurants are good tho, for example 门框胡同百年卤煮，小肠陈，卤煮吕，北新桥卤煮。
5. 炒肝&包子：this is typical Beijing style breakfast, 天兴居 is the inventor restaurant of 炒肝, I recommend their oldest outlet, the one located in 鲜鱼口胡同。
6. 糖油饼， it's a kind of sweet breakfast bread, the 黑窑厂街糖油饼 food stand is a must try, but it usually sell out around 8 o'clock, since it's to famous.
7. I want to introduce you a pub called "El Nido" located in 北锣鼓巷（not far to the 2nd restaurant), it's basically a pub in a traditional beijing house, the yard is amazing. the customer there are only local beijing people and foreigners who speaks chinese with beijing accent. BTW Beijing is the city that has the best beer cultural in whole China.
@@BlondieinChina I'm talking very brief. these are the typical food of beijing, but there are much more, such as 门钉肉饼，乾隆白菜，芥末墩， 爆肚，羊蝎子火锅， and ect. If you are planning to visit, I can show you the real beijing hidden from the outside world.
Fuzhou is my parents hometown, I want to go back and visit again. Such a fun place to hangout and eat.
Hope your family is safe and the fire hasn't greatly disrupted their lives. Hoping the fires are extinguished quickly.
I went to Jin ji shan park with my mama and my sister in 2009 or 2010.
Fujian is where my great grandparents came from.
Fuzhou! Yay!!
Sweet and sour. My favourite Fuzhou dishes. And the most I miss. Fish ball Potato ball sticky rice ball. And those nice things I miss from my hometown.
welcome to Fuzhou
