Thank you for sharing your city with us. My wife of 35 years is from Guangzhou. She left there in 1989 and moved to Sydney Australia where I met her and married with 1 Son. We are visiting China Chengdu and Chongqing in 2 weeks time, 4th time back to China.
I've been to China before and Korea. I have never ever felt safer in my whole entire life. Nobody bothers you in the street. Nobody makes you feel unsafe. Of course, bad things can happen. But it very rarely happens. Trust me.
@@worldlife9834 Why should China allow a website in China while people on the other side of earth control what can be said and what can't be said on it?
Its the same in Korea, Japan and Singapore. Had a lot of fun there just walking around in the middle of the night and feel completely safe. London maybe isn't as bad as LA but its not safe to do that here either.
Simply said, Los Angeles is very soft on crime or any uncivil behavior. Thieves have been stealing copper from the traffic signals in Oakland. Instead of doing something about the crime, the gov replaced it with stop signs on a pole.
Thanks for this fascinating look into the night life and workers. That was my impression too, that these folks are working really hard while everyone else sleeps, so that the city can run smoothly during the daytime. Respect. This kind of video is way more interesting than the usual tourist-type stuff that gets churned out regularly by other YT'ers.
It is nice to see this video of yours. Its shows that how the Chinese people work hard. Happy to see Guangzhou China like this. Long live Chinese people. When I was in Baotou City Inner Mongolia normally I go to the market early in the morning. After that I will a street dimsum I really missed that life. Hope I will experience that again.
I was in China in 1985 as a teenager. I noticed the streets were filled with people all night long. I really liked that. When I returned I had to write an essay for a college application. I titled it, China Never Sleeps. I explained how she's ancient but changing. Back then everyone rode bikes and wore the same jacket. I was accepted to the school and went there.
Interesting and most informative video. Thank you for showing us the activities still going on in the middle of the night, while most of us are sleeping.
A hidden treasure of youtube, lots of interesting videos. Subscribed and keep up the good works! Oh, would be great to hear more cantonese in your video too.
Chinese are very well organized. Plan their work and working on their plan with devotion and determination. This explains why China is rising and keep rising. Salute this people of virtues.
CHINA is so safe! Was just there three weeks ago, but only once got the chance to see it late at night. I love to see the peace and quiet that you show us in your documentary. Please keep showing us more. Do you do tours? I'd love to be with my family in one of them late at night!. Thanks and Hi from Galway Ireland 🇮🇪☘️
You made a huge effort to find and show us trash on the streets and homeless people in China, while in my country all you have to do to see both things is get out of the door at any time of the day. Thanks for your hardwork to show us the real China.
Deep respect to china. I m so impressed with cleanliness, orderliness , and most importantly of all safety of women. I am from India and I know it is deeply lacking here. Safety of women in india is serious concern. When women are safe and join workforce this will hep per capita income and help grow in nations economy. Mad respect to those hard working people who are burning midnight oil to support there families. Love and respect 🙏
Your videos are very well done and you feel comfortable watching them. I lived and worked in Beijing for four years as a senior architect. I traveled to almost every province. Many stories to tell.
For most asian country, activity started in midnight or before dawn are quite common. Traditional market usually opens very early in the morning, so most producer whether its farmer, fishermans, etc arrived at the market before dawn or midnight, seller than bought their goods straight from producer and start to open their stall before dawn
They may not be homeless. They are more transient workers. Each regional government can set its own rules. So it is kind of amazing people are all friendly everywhere despite of differences in culture and living conditions.
@@TueLesPigeons yeah. The government will build a basic house for the person(family) which is so poor that there is not place to live. （for free） The government has also provides free vocational skills training. But to some guys, they don't want to farming on their field or working in a factory. Even they haven't got any high education experience. So they have went to the big city and take a part-time job or collect the bottles, tins…when they have not money.
@@TueLesPigeons In fact, they can't be called homeless, but rather stingy people or people who give up comfort for their homes. In the summer, when it's comfortable outdoors, some construction workers or temporary workers will choose this method, saving hundreds of China money a month. (Around 50 to 100 dollar.)
When I lived in Seoul I used to spend hours walking around the city late at night and into early morning. Those are some of my best memories of a lovely city!
Thank you for sharing this. I can only be humbled about the people working at night. I can kinda relate when I was working oncall in hospital, the world is a different place at night. Greetings from Belgium!
I live in a "safe" part of NYC, and Im in awe of the condition of the roads first of all. Our roads are in awful condition. And it is definitely not safe here at night after 10-11PM. On the weekends the nearby bars often have fights and a few times a year there are shootings. This is considered safe here.
the morning 2-5am run is the most interesting part in the city in my opinion. can see lots more activity and people than you think. while 99% of the people are asleep these people keep the economy going and working hard. the quietness of the early morning also something people don't appreciate. whenever you go out of your city or country make sure to wake up 3-4 am and go around
I often stay at the inlaws place in the Yuexiu district in Guangzhou, often the companies that deal with mail/parcels start taking over the streets after 10pm when many shops close up for the day. I can hear them from my bedroom window if I leave it open, the noise of people moving stuff around, taking and sending off deliveries. It's a 24/7 city and I never get tired of visiting every 2 years. That and Hong Kong. HK is pretty lively in some parts after midnight and eating at a roadside stall at 3am is something you can get used to pretty easily.
This is the kind of video i love. Not the flashy "propaganda like" video's of people going to the same flashy tourist places in china, but the real china, which is much more interesting in my opinion. No place is perfect, but every place has its own beauty. I always really enjoy going out at night to see the city, as ive done with cities in China, Korea and Japan.
Chinese are such hard workers… China deserves all the wealth and peace they continue to build. I wish China all the success for the Chinese and for the countries they are building up.
So happy and refreshing to see more videos that show the real lifestyles of people here in China. really good job with the story telling here and I would agree that exploring at night is so much better than in the day time. it really allows you to absorb the things you see.
Try doing that in NY or Madrid or Toronto , you gonna get mugged /raped/beaten up most likely. China is the safest country in the world. People are hardworking, peaceful and even helpful. Food is plentiful and fresh. Public transport like subways , buses and cab hailing is excellent and very affordable. Services like food delivery and package delivery so fast and cheap. 5G everywhere. Non cash economy , just need your phone and super App. Very hard to live anywhere else.
@@fanaticist Well with your weak Yen , inflation must be crazy , since you import all your oil in USD. You still use cash and credit cards ? How much it cost on high speed rail 4hr trip ? Well a bowl of soup noodles with wonton is around US2 -3 here. Groceries for 2 people , 2 meals a day is around US13-14 with fish , chicken , vegetable, eggs and fruit.
China does not allow the trash cultures of the world into their borders. Liberal ideology is completely banned due to its toxicity, and damage it causes to society. There are two sexes in China.
I just found your channel. This video just passed by my home feeds and I clicked and now I'm subscribed. I love your videos! ❤ So calming, entertaining and full of new info and learning especially for me who loves to travel. Hopefully I could visit China also soon.
I am from South Africa and visited Shanghai in April 24. It was a wonderful experience and one thing from this video that I can confirm is the feeling of being safe. People where really friendly although I do not speak any Chinese. I would go again should the opportunity arrives.
@ Correct, but in special situations, a more tolerant approach can be taken. For example, in these wholesale markets, the government has deployed a large number of cleaners to maintain cleanliness for more efficient daily operations.
Thank you for sharing this video I like China. I appreciate seeing the authentic daily life in China, which is often not depicted in the media. Please continue to share more videos like this.
It was way more common to hear Cantonese back in the 2000s but in the last 10 years, a massive wave of people from the north have moved into Guangzhou because of the opportunities to earn money. Mandarin is everywhere now and in many places like restaurants etc, lots of staff do not speak Mandarin. But I've noticed more people speak English now than say 10 years ago also.
I was a nocturnal person during my younger days following college. not wanting to settle down yet to start a career like most of my classmates did, i did jobs such as wholesale delivery helper (riding on a truck delivering merchandize to customers) in order to save up to travel the world. During days (actually nights) off, i would ride my bicycle and cruise around different parts of my city, feeling the uniqueness that you were alone in this world and no people bothering you, as if you had this whole world all to yourself. Those carefree days are only memories now.
Sadly both USnUK are busy trying to bring about death and destruction to China. In fact U$ just passed bill HR1517 worth U$1.6B to spread anti China hate propaganda 24/7/365!
@@Cinthia_Lin Wow .. Panyu is where my grand father was from and my father's birthplace. Apart from a group tour to Beijing. I have not been to any other places in China. I will try to visit it in the near future. My father always said he was born in Panyu Village/District and "Stone lake street" 石 湖 街? is there such a street there still?
It is sad some channels try to paint the picture of people living in harsh conditions. This is more what anyone would like to see everyone is trying to keep up with the times. Whatever it is I hope everyone lives well.
Just discovered your channel and immediately subscribed. Excellent video, and Guangzhou looks a lot like Bangkok at night (I lived there for more than a decade) - busy, incredibly safe and fascinating. Looking forward to watching all your videos :)
About 25 years ago, there were thieves in the streets of China. They would quietly put their hands into other people's backpacks. But now, those thieves have disappeared. I think there are two reasons: (1) The camera greatly improves the efficiency of the police in solving crimes, and almost no thief can escape the pursuit; (2) Ordinary Chinese are getting richer and richer. When everyone has enough food to eat, there is no need to steal.
Much like Hong Kong since after WWII...the night time normal activities. The street food 大牌檔! The night time is less hot to work in, to eat in, to enjoy. But Hong Kong streets and roads were much better managed. Though I don't know Hong Kong now.
Hello Cinthia, so happy to see GZ at night, that city where you are is very near from my hometown, Huadu, I just came back to US from China, visiting my parents, I’ve been in China for 6 months, I visited Chimelong Park in GZ, it was so nice. Hope can meet you next year when I go China.
The fact that the convenience store just trusts you will pay before you leave and it's not a high tech Amazon store. And the fact that two girls feel safe enough to go out at 4am.
Thank you for sharing the look into the nightshift of this city. found it very informative. eg. swapping your ebike battery for a new one. The food market. etc. etc. loved it .
I have been Guangzhou 18 years ago, time flies fast. The food was good, the bus was confusing, the people who working in the restaurant along the street was funny and friendly, from just passing by, they said hello and laugh telling my little brother is cute became we bought the siomay corn everyday from them hahahaha I still remember the uncle's face.
No matter what country you are in, who wakes up wee hours in the morning? Only Chinese entrepreneurs. Wake up early, prepare early and devote all their time and effort just to make ends meet.it’s all about hard work. Harrrrrrd work!!!
Same in Ha Noi, Vietnam. Did it with ex gf many times. Buying fruits and vegetables from early street vendors who just arrived from the fields with loads of goods. Truly simple but amazing experience. :))
In many western countries after sunset, you better stay at home. Safety is freedom . Travel frequently to China , Thailand or Vietnam & generally these places are quite safe.
@@GL-iv4rw No, the urban village is a kind of community before the urban transformation, when the government demolition, the urban village will be born countless multimillionaires
@@GL-iv4rw On the contrary, urban villages are areas that are not built in urban planning. Local residents build their own houses there. Many migrant workers choose to rent houses in urban villages. Therefore, homeowners in urban villages can become rich just by collecting rent every month.
life was similar in many Chinatowns in south east Asia 50 years ago. Some things have changed a lot other things never seem to change. Thanks for this nostalgia trip down memory lane. 🙏
this is not the only town on this planet like this. but that does not matter. it took 25k years for human population to reach 1.6 billion. then it took 80 years to reach 8 billion.
Really enjoyed your video. Salute to you and all the people who worked hard to feed their families. Just a kind reminder, don’t try to shot a similar video in other countries, especially here in the States. It’s really dangerous and you may be getting hurt badly. Keep up the good work!❤
did the town seem more crowded than before you left? Cleaner? I think at 4am, we would be more afraid of ghosts than human. I heard quite a few ghosts stories before. I’m still pretty wary of going out after 10pm anywhere. Love your bravery and human concerns for the hard working over night entrepreneurs. Their aspirations are a missing ingredient in many western way of life.
Great video, and beautiful city. I wish here in Los Angeles, or anywhere in America, really, we had more dense land use, people friendly streets, and more vibrant street life. Instead I live next to two major boulevards with six lanes ands a freeway that cuts through my neighborhood.
他们都是城市英雄，让我感触很深的是，不管到了晚上街上多脏，第二天大家起来上班生活面对的街道到处都是干干净净的。感动，感谢他们。

I will try to visit it in the near future. My father always said he was born in Panyu Village/District and "Stone lake street" 石 湖 街? is there such a street there still?
@@dchey01 was he vietnamese ?

The people of the country are very hardworking! ❤
Wow 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Thanks for the information 👍 . Looking forward to your next episode 😂. Missed Guangzhou alots .
It is sad some channels try to paint the picture of people living in harsh conditions. This is more what anyone would like to see everyone is trying to keep up with the times. Whatever it is I hope everyone lives well.
Just discovered your channel and immediately subscribed. Excellent video, and Guangzhou looks a lot like Bangkok at night (I lived there for more than a decade) - busy, incredibly safe and fascinating. Looking forward to watching all your videos :)
I think China is the safest country in the world
Not as long there's an English Language teacher called "Teacher Paul John Farrell" from England. is there prowling the streets.
About 25 years ago, there were thieves in the streets of China. They would quietly put their hands into other people's backpacks. But now, those thieves have
disappeared.
I think there are two reasons:
(1) The camera greatly improves the efficiency of the police in solving crimes, and almost no thief can escape the pursuit;
(2) Ordinary Chinese are getting richer and richer. When everyone has enough food to eat, there is no need to steal.
hands down
A 10-year-old child was killed a few days ago
@@勃耐耐你的机翻英语让人看了想吐，你希望一个14亿人口的国家没有任何犯罪吗？
Thanks for sharing, Cinthia! You're right! Those people keep the cities running but with little or no recognition.
Much like Hong Kong since after WWII...the night time normal activities. The street food 大牌檔! The night time is less hot to work in, to eat in, to enjoy.
But Hong Kong streets and roads were much better managed.
Though I don't know Hong Kong now.
Thanks!
the caption says "Speaking Mandarin" when she's speaking Cantonese
yeah, i don't get it, clearly she knows the difference or is it some translation software messing up.
Its like the caption says "Speaking in American", but actually they are "Speaking in English". 😁
@@merrick6484 not the same comparison bro
@@ck3908Yes maybe it’s a translation problem.
She does explain that under her subtitle description
Hello Cinthia, so happy to see GZ at night, that city where you are is very near from my hometown, Huadu, I just came back to US from China, visiting my parents, I’ve been in China for 6 months, I visited Chimelong Park in GZ, it was so nice. Hope can meet you next year when I go China.
The fact that the convenience store just trusts you will pay before you leave and it's not a high tech Amazon store. And the fact that two girls feel safe enough to go out at 4am.
It's all about preference, U$ led west much prefer the freedom to vote, that is it!
Thank you for sharing the look into the nightshift of this city. found it very informative. eg. swapping your ebike battery for a new one. The food market. etc. etc. loved it .
Excellent video! Thank you!
I have been Guangzhou 18 years ago, time flies fast. The food was good, the bus was confusing, the people who working in the restaurant along the street was funny and friendly, from just passing by, they said hello and laugh telling my little brother is cute became we bought the siomay corn everyday from them hahahaha I still remember the uncle's face.
No matter what country you are in, who wakes up wee hours in the morning? Only Chinese entrepreneurs. Wake up early, prepare early and devote all their time and effort just to make ends meet.it’s all about hard work. Harrrrrrd work!!!
Same in Ha Noi, Vietnam. Did it with ex gf many times. Buying fruits and vegetables from early street vendors who just arrived from the fields with loads of goods. Truly simple but amazing experience. :))
In many western countries after sunset, you better stay at home. Safety is freedom .
Travel frequently to China , Thailand or Vietnam & generally these places are quite safe.
Japan and Singapore too
@@rambii. Totally agreed
夠哂貼地，真實👍👍
您的英文口音很好，没有夹带普通话口音。颜值高雅！
Thankyou for sharing your experience watch from Canada 🇨🇦 😊.
Thanks for great content
I remember the day I was driving bicycle at night in Beijing when I was studying there. It was lovely times. China is good for living indeed!
2点后就像，吃完一顿饭后的桌面，其实早上就会被打扫的干净整洁。城中村的一天也是会早上保持焕然一新的
I stayed in GZ for around 7 years and did not visit some of these places. I really enjoyed my time there, and this triggered a lot of great memories.
I used to watch old chinese movies as a kid , it has completely changed barring few similarities in urban villages . Everything's just flipped.
are urban villages slums?
@@GL-iv4rw No, the urban village is a kind of community before the urban transformation, when the government demolition, the urban village will be born countless multimillionaires
@@GL-iv4rw On the contrary, urban villages are areas that are not built in urban planning. Local residents build their own houses there. Many migrant workers choose to rent houses in urban villages. Therefore, homeowners in urban villages can become rich just by collecting rent every month.
A big salute to the hardworking people who make the city run.
I hope these people get better job protection and welfare.
感谢您分享另外一面的广州，去了那么多次办公还没真正看到这一面🤘
欢迎再来👏🏻
It is a great city, I lived there before, thank for show it from a locals perspective, your channel can get big, keep up the good work, peace.
生活在河北快40年，从未见过半夜如此繁忙的人流，突然感觉越发达的地方，贫富差距越大，人们就会月勤奋。像我们这个小地方大家赚的不多，也没多少人愿意每日起早贪黑，除非是那种赚很多钱的工作。
我总觉得南方人比我们北方人更勤劳。😅
不是没有，是你没有去发现和了解，各地都一样，摊贩还有固定门头的都会在早上4.5点钟去市场进货的。不说别的，你每天吃的早餐店也基本都是4.5钟起床来做的，甚至有的2点多钟就起来准备早餐了

Wow so happening in Guangzhou…. Hope to visit
life was similar in many Chinatowns in south east Asia 50 years ago. Some things have changed a lot other things never seem to change. Thanks for this nostalgia trip down memory lane. 🙏
this is not the only town on this planet like this. but that does not matter. it took 25k years for human population to reach 1.6 billion. then it took 80 years to reach 8 billion.
It's cool to see such a quiet GZ. I remember last time I went there it was so crowded, but ofc that's during the day and evening.
Chinese are the most diligent workers in the world. Here in the west, most shops shuts down after 5pm.

a real workers' paradise
Really enjoyed your video. Salute to you and all the people who worked hard to feed their families. Just a kind reminder, don’t try to shot a similar video in other countries, especially here in the States. It’s really dangerous and you may be getting hurt badly. Keep up the good work!❤
did the town seem more crowded than before you left? Cleaner? I think at 4am, we would be more afraid of ghosts than human. I heard quite a few ghosts stories before. I’m still pretty wary of going out after 10pm anywhere. Love your bravery and human concerns for the hard working over night entrepreneurs. Their aspirations are a missing ingredient in many western way of life.
Workers clean every street from 5 to 8 in the morning
@@luoxu5647A lot of workers sweep/clean in day time as well.
Great video, and beautiful city. I wish here in Los Angeles, or anywhere in America, really, we had more dense land use, people friendly streets, and more vibrant street life. Instead I live next to two major boulevards with six lanes ands a freeway that cuts through my neighborhood.
