What the man meant was that China's development could not catch up with that of Britain, which was a modest statement without malice. I hope you will not be sad because of this translation misunderstanding.
@@adamandyaz The western translators are not good for Chinese language translation. You need to use a Chinese Build Chinese translator. But even that it’s difficult for the Chinese language which is contextually driven much more than western languages. But the Chinese ones are way better.
I'm from ChongQing,the meaning of that man like "our country is nat as good as Britain",This is a modest statements of the older generation.They have never been in contact with foreigner.He has no malice.ChongQing is a beautiful city.Finally welcome to ChongQing,have a wonderful trip！❤
@@MY-r5l I wonder why he said this? Like it's not even true. In a direct comparison between the UK and CN, the UK is far behind in everything (same as my country, Germany and all of EU). Does the man still have some old colony-inferiority-mindset or what was his point?
@@Egal0190it's normal. in many Chinese mindset. Western countries，especially UK.GERMANY.FR are more devoloped countries. and China are far behind of them.Althought the total GDP of China is No.2. but if comparing the per capita，almost ranked after 100……
@@Egal0190 A large part of Chinese people are modest when they treat others, especially strangers. For example, if you say to them, "You did a great job," they will say, "No, no, just so-so." This may be due to China's Confucian culture. In addition, the elderly in China do not use VPN software to browse UA-cam or other foreign software. They cannot see some bad social conditions abroad, such as gender independence and racial confrontation in the United States. For many elderly people, especially ordinary people, they still believe that things abroad are better than at home, and "tap water abroad is sweeter than at home."
Chongqing was never a colony, but during World War II, it temporarily served as the capital of China and experienced extensive bombing by Japan. When he was young, China was still in the process of developing, and Western countries were indeed ahead of China at that time. Even today, some older generations still hold impressions of Western countries based on what they were like during their youth.
Great video, glad to see China on UA-cam, makes me want to go back. I lived in China for more than 4 years, lived and worked in Shanghai. Visited Shenzhen often, also Beijing, Xian, Hangzhou, Lin'an, Chongqing, Suzhou. They are all great. I liked Xian for its unique history and Lin'an for it's countryside beauty. Easy day trip to Hangzhou and Suzhou from Shanghai, you could consider that if you are planning a longer stay in that area.
Great video! Chongqing is amazing and a city of 14,000 bridges/flyovers due to its mountainous landscape. Yes, Luckin is a Chinese coffee drink brand. The best map to use in China is called A Map, and can be downloaded do your phone freely. Enjoy your travel and stay in China!
i remembered that 30 years ago i went to portugual and every place was soo amazing.... i went to the Netherlands 25 years ago and I still wanted to visit... those places were so different and i would never be tired.... everyone should travel to see different places to make their life different.....
I am Chinese. First of all, welcome to my country. The people here are very friendly. We have a long history. These histories, like rivers, continue to deposit the sand and gravel of civilization. They educate us that we need to be warm and friendly to our guests. I believe in you. I feel it too, and I hope this trip to China can clear up many misunderstandings. China doesn’t need perfection, but it needs the truth. I hope you have fun and have a safe journey.
I just came from the part 1) china vlog and i love ur vlogs! it feels like I’m coming with you. I haven’t been since I was little so it’s rlly nice. New sub 💕
more like china has everything...the ultra developed cities, new rural towns for hipsters, quaint historic towns, if you go further out, there are beautiful ancient towns where ppl live the same way for 1000 years. The diversity is crazy.
when you link the payment apps to a foreign credit card, you have to do a few manual identification verifications after spending a certain amount. it's just fraud prevention and to protect them against chargebacks. most people who only stay for a couple days don't hit the check threshold but if you are staying longer and are big spenders, you might have to do several along the way 😂
Nice video, thanks for sharing. There's actually more western restaurants in China than just KFC and McDonald's. The reason why you're seeing so much KFC & McDonald's is because China has the most KFC restaurants in the world with over 11,000 chains compared to the US at 4300. China also ranks 3rd globally in McDonald's behind the US and Japan. Expect to see a lot of Starbucks too while in China. Enjoy your visit to China.
37:09 Ah ha! I’m so glad you guys found one of my hidden gems in ChongQing!😂 yeah few people outside ChongQing knew about this amazing bar in the Intercontinental. Actually it has 2 bars but this one is outside! They used to be really reasonable on the price but recently increased the price a little bit. But I mean you are on 42nd floor , in a 5-star luxury hotel, and with such amazing view, that price seems reasonable again 😂 The other hidden gem of mine is Nicolo hotel across the river, called Bar 62. By the name of it you can tell it’s on the 62nd floor so it’s higher than here, but an indoor place.
In fact, even the Chinese government doesn't define it as a 'city', it's legal status is a provincial-level municipality .. it's just that many Chinese tend to transliterate all kinds of administrative regions that contains the character 市 as 'city', which is not really an accurate in meaning...
the bubble tea you got was from a brand equivalent to Starbucks in the west. It's called "sweet snow ice city" if you translate it directly. It sells tea at reasonable prices since starbucks is quite expensive in china. Enjoy!
We were just in Chongqing about 6 weeks ago. Our hotel was one block away from your hotel. We loved that food street nearby. It was great for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you want to see a beautiful place nearby take a regular train to Wulong. Very scenic and beautiful.
hi.i am Chinese.and i have been to the UK 4 month ago. I am so happy that you come to China.I want to say China has thousands of dialects.so Chongqing has their dialect.and most of Chinese even don't know what they are taking about.Translate app only can translate Mandarin.So it's a big challenge！
My recommendations, the Dujiangyan town and Qingcheng Mountain. They are very near to Chengdu and Chongqing with stunning scenery, just spend less than half an hour by high speed train. You won't be regret.
In minute 33:19 the bracelet looks amazing and shiny. I believe from the information about the root you read, the root you picked is not found in abundance or it is rather scarce or difficult to find or pick, thus, the hefty price you paid. I don't think it is a tourist/foreigner price necessarily, but rather due to the scarcity or difficulty in finding it perhaps (it would be like comparing the price of gold and copper, for example, where copper is more abundant than gold and thus more affordable than gold).
There are a fair few "western" restaurants, hard to find, but the real question is why!? Chinese food is so damn good. You also can find lots of Korean, thai and Japanese restaurants too.
2:45 The shop behind you is 鲍师傅糕点 Master Bao Pastry, it is very popular in China few years ago, and it taste good. It is also available in London now, around Chinatown.
29:19 well it’s just ancient inspired/looking..... this place is finished around 2007/2008, when I was preparing my SAT test and applying a US college. I used to love this place and I always came here, find a tea house or just Starbucks to do homework. As it went popular there is no longer any chance for anyone to study here 😂😂😂 back in the time I could drive in there on first floor to the parking lot with my friends and show them this place, now it is even impossible to drive near it. When it’s national holidays, the bridge would be closed to traffic, making it a pedestrian bridge just for the tourists...... and the whole bridge is packed with people😢
Wonderful Content Adam and Yaz! 👍Unlike Chengdu City, Chong Qing hasn't been a touristy destination for very long, especially for international tourist. And that's why people could encounter some unconveniencies there, such as the payment issue. But I guess that's also why you met those lovely girls doing survey of foreign tourists, they're working on it to make Chong Qing more foreigner-friendly.
The place you ordered the bubble tea from is called Mixue, and we are OBSESSED with their ice cream cones. Thanks for showing us around Chingqing! It looks like such a fun city. 🥰
I‘ve seen that plaza in quite a few videos but never understood the fuss about it. The way you explained it finally got to me. None of those vloggers ever mentioned that those 3 or 4 story “buildings“ are actually just tips of iceberg. 🙃
The red fruit is called "cherry tomato" in China, also known as "sacred fruit"，“圣女果” The hotel's anti-virus equipment is firefighting equipment. Avoiding the protection measures taken during evacuation due to a fire, although this is basically not necessary, it is a standard configuration for safety precautions, and fire extinguishers are also essential equipment for hotels.
I'm so glad I stumbled on your channel. You two are both so nice, so fun and so funny! I've been meaning to visit China but watching your videos has inspired me to seriously start planning it. Are you guys vegan? You've made it seem more feasible than I imagined to find an abundance of vegan options in China. I thought everybody there ate dogs, pork and beetles! Thanks for the content. So informative. I'm loving it
In case you dont know how big a country china is and how diverse it is culturally, let me give you a small idea. I am native Chinese living in hong kong and dongguan, and i have never been to anywhere outside of canton province. I dont speak mandarin, but my family speak other 3 Chinese languages, Cantonese, hakka, and donggyuan dialect. Cheers.
Depending on the material grade, the price of a Chicken Spath bracelet ranges from a few dozen yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. So the price you pay is more reasonable. There are two main reasons for spraying an aerosol before entering the cat cafe. 1. Some cats have very fragile constitutions, and bacteria that are insignificant to humans may be pathogenic or even life-threatening to them. I hope this doesn't offend you as we locals go through these processes too. I even wash my hands with sanitizer before entering some pet stores. 2 is to eliminate the smell and prevent them from being too excited. For example, you have been exposed to other animals or irritating food before.
my heart sank when I saw that mistranslation on bilibili. I opened VPN and youtube to make sure someone explained and you guys didn't misunderstand in the end.😂
Yeah the weather here is never pretty, kind of like it is in London, always foggy, for being near 2 rivers where they join, and surrounded by mountains...... the humidity in summer time will steam you to perfection😂 yet great for your skin. And as a local I am compelled to ask: how was your staying? 😂 I hope you guys did enjoy! 11:01
The waterfall/forest configuration actually feels like Qatar Airport. Tbh, Ciqikou feels a bit plain, but people tend to miss the nature around Chongqing and Sichuan province places like the Wulong District near Chongqing, or JiuZhai Valley nation park in Sichuan Province north of Chengdu. And for dare devils, park like the dream Odovician theme park is also near by.
You can use Alipay in Chengdu, but the problem in Chongqing may be due to the lack of cooperation agreements between foreign banks and some public transportation agencies or corporate institutions in China. This problem will not occur with any local bank card in China, so foreign tourists can only prepare some cash as a backup.
always carry some cash around. if you have the apps linked to a foreign credit card, not all vendors can accept it. they have to have a merchant/business account to be able to accept payments linked to a foreign credit card. this usually only applies to small street vendors and non-official businesses but in some cases like chongqing metro they don't have a merchant account 😅 probably because they don't expect foreign tourists(and to save money on transaction fees). just think of it as some 'cash only' businesses in the west. locals don't have this problem because their payment is linked to a domestic chinese bank account. there are other work arounds but just easier to have some cash in backup.
5:50 that cute little snowman be the 3rd largest restaurant chain in the world behind only McDonald’s and subway and ahead of Starbucks, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Domino’s and KFC
It's crazy how busy Chongqing is. I would probably get sensory overload there since Florida could be more exciting. Great job with the chopsticks, but why no beer?
Shenzen has the best building light show....but all of the big cities are like this even though everyone seems to go to Shanghai, Chongqing and Chengdu...but all the other large cities are similar with the building night lights
I am from Chongqing. If you have plans to visit Chongqing, please feel free to contact me. I am both a tour guide and a driver, and I provide a car. Proficient in explaining museums and able to take you on a deeper exploration of Chongqing. also i can speak English
Can you share the name of that bracelet shop? or how to get there? my father is travelling there and I would really love to get such a bracelet for myself.
Not sure of the name, pretty sure it was all in Chinese, but if he goes in through the main entrance and turns right after the main gate like we did, it wasn’t very far after that. It’s the only shop that does it there from what we saw so shouldn’t be too hard to find 😃
Chongqing actually has a lot more to offer in its beautiful surroundings. These include three UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Dazu Stone Carvings (ua-cam.com/video/Elwv7_oyPZ0/v-deo.html), Wulong Karst National Park, and Three Gorges of the Yangtze River (www .ua-cam.com/users/shortsMSllXo-QEqU)
The person at 18:54 has a very thick accent; I believe he's saying, "Our country is not as good as your England (in terms of living standards?)." Not 100% sure
Yeah it does sound something like that, otherwise it wouldn't make any sense, I wouldn’t expect some random person coming up to people and speak as if they have zero filter.
@@tg5691 My interpretation may be correct, but what the man said seems a bit off, probably because he has never seen the real England. The correct should be, "England cannot be compared to China, because China is much more advanced."
He didn't complete the sentence because you can hear him say the word 'hua' at the end, which means language. 'Ying Guo' = England, 'Hua' = language. He was probably saying 'We Chinese are unable to comprehend the English language'
What that person said is: China cannot catch up with Britain. Or perhaps it's dialects that we cannot speak English in China. Because it's a dialect, I can't quite understand it either. But in terms of context, it should be the former. After all, Britain is a developed country. He has no ill intentions, I hope you don't feel sad.😂
18:55 ok that translation app is ass XD He said "We are China, can't surpass your UK" 我们是中国，赶不了你们英国. Which is a general consensus among Chinese ppl that China is still just a developing country, there is a lot of work needs to be done to catch up to developed countries.
Of course there there are different western food in China, but like Chinese food in British, some of them are not that cheap and have been adapted to Chinese tastes. 😂
I wonder what it is with Ali Pay & WeChat playing up for foreigners in Chongqing? Nearly ever vlogger we have watched have had issues and needed to use cash instead in Chongqing 😢

Oh nooo don’t worry we knew it was a mistranslation pretty much straight away, and even if it wasn’t, we’re not easily offended haha
欢迎！！！🙏🙏🙏
35:19 this place used to be an important port for trading in ancient times. That’s where its name came from, literally translates porcelain port.
Ladies and gentlemen, behold! the birth of new Mixue couple!🎉🎉🎉😂😂 and they also come from UK 😂😂 6:14
😂
Yeah the weather here is never pretty, kind of like it is in London, always foggy, for being near 2 rivers where they join, and surrounded by mountains...... the humidity in summer time will steam you to perfection😂 yet great for your skin. And as a local I am compelled to ask: how was your staying? 😂 I hope you guys did enjoy! 11:01
Wow, so many people out and about in Chong Qing at night
Soooo many people! 😅
The waterfall/forest configuration actually feels like Qatar Airport.
Tbh, Ciqikou feels a bit plain, but people tend to miss the nature around Chongqing and Sichuan province places like the Wulong District near Chongqing, or JiuZhai Valley nation park in Sichuan Province north of Chengdu. And for dare devils, park like the dream Odovician theme park is also near by.
This is my hometown.
31:03 see that milk tea shop called 茶颜悦色 （Cha Yan Yue Se）with a logo of a traditional chinese woman? that's the best milk tea in China period
You can use Alipay in Chengdu, but the problem in Chongqing may be due to the lack of cooperation agreements between foreign banks and some public transportation agencies or corporate institutions in China. This problem will not occur with any local bank card in China, so foreign tourists can only prepare some cash as a backup.
always carry some cash around. if you have the apps linked to a foreign credit card, not all vendors can accept it. they have to have a merchant/business account to be able to accept payments linked to a foreign credit card. this usually only applies to small street vendors and non-official businesses but in some cases like chongqing metro they don't have a merchant account 😅 probably because they don't expect foreign tourists(and to save money on transaction fees). just think of it as some 'cash only' businesses in the west. locals don't have this problem because their payment is linked to a domestic chinese bank account. there are other work arounds but just easier to have some cash in backup.
5:50 that cute little snowman be the 3rd largest restaurant chain in the world behind only McDonald’s and subway and ahead of Starbucks, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Domino’s and KFC
Oh wow 🤩
It's crazy how busy Chongqing is. I would probably get sensory overload there since Florida could be more exciting. Great job with the chopsticks, but why no beer?
Shenzen has the best building light show....but all of the big cities are like this even though everyone seems to go to Shanghai, Chongqing and Chengdu...but all the other large cities are similar with the building night lights
please come to Guangdong😭
35:18 紫氣東來＝This reminds me of Li Ziqi!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
😅
“赶不了”(cannot catch up) has the same prononciation with "干不了"(cannot deal with), so the translater misunderstood it 😮💨
less than 3 dollars for a buffet? insane!
Amazing right?!
You need to update your city settings every time you move in case your details are stolen/scammed
I am from Chongqing. If you have plans to visit Chongqing, please feel free to contact me. I am both a tour guide and a driver, and I provide a car. Proficient in explaining museums and able to take you on a deeper exploration of Chongqing. also i can speak English
It's interesting the travel bureau is doing street surveys. They do take local tourism very seriously and that's a good sign
3:53 Wo de ming zi shi Sheldon ？🤣
looooove it
Can you share the name of that bracelet shop? or how to get there? my father is travelling there and I would really love to get such a bracelet for myself.
Not sure of the name, pretty sure it was all in Chinese, but if he goes in through the main entrance and turns right after the main gate like we did, it wasn’t very far after that. It’s the only shop that does it there from what we saw so shouldn’t be too hard to find 😃
best love , when visit shenzhen
That’s definitely not fried sushi. Some king of fried roll. Looks delicious.
Chongqing actually has a lot more to offer in its beautiful surroundings. These include three UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Dazu Stone Carvings (ua-cam.com/video/Elwv7_oyPZ0/v-deo.html), Wulong Karst National Park, and Three Gorges of the Yangtze River (www .ua-cam.com/users/shortsMSllXo-QEqU)
"right in the middle of everything" LOL
The person at 18:54 has a very thick accent; I believe he's saying, "Our country is not as good as your England (in terms of living standards?)." Not 100% sure
Yeah it does sound something like that, otherwise it wouldn't make any sense, I wouldn’t expect some random person coming up to people and speak as if they have zero filter.
probably "our country cannot be compared with England."
@@tg5691
My interpretation may be correct, but what the man said seems a bit off, probably because he has never seen the real England.
The correct should be, "England cannot be compared to China, because China is much more advanced."
Yes, that's also what I am thinking what he said.
He didn't complete the sentence because you can hear him say the word 'hua' at the end, which means language. 'Ying Guo' = England, 'Hua' = language. He was probably saying 'We Chinese are unable to comprehend the English language'
He spoke in Sichuan dialect, which we didn't understand either
What that person said is: China cannot catch up with Britain. Or perhaps it's dialects that we cannot speak English in China. Because it's a dialect, I can't quite understand it either. But in terms of context, it should be the former. After all, Britain is a developed country. He has no ill intentions, I hope you don't feel sad.😂
18:55 ok that translation app is ass XD He said "We are China, can't surpass your UK" 我们是中国，赶不了你们英国. Which is a general consensus among Chinese ppl that China is still just a developing country, there is a lot of work needs to be done to catch up to developed countries.
We think China is a lot better developed and advanced than the UK. We were blown away
So have you fixed the Alipay at the end?😢
Yes it started to work eventually 😂
Of course there there are different western food in China, but like Chinese food in British, some of them are not that cheap and have been adapted to Chinese tastes. 😂
The old man probably meant to say: “We Chinese people can’t speak English.” He omitted the word “话” ，which means “language”😂
welcome to shanghai❤❤❤
chongqing
Chongqing 😁
I wonder what it is with Ali Pay & WeChat playing up for foreigners in Chongqing? Nearly ever vlogger we have watched have had issues and needed to use cash instead in Chongqing 😢
