I watched a vlogger in another video visiting China. In a random city in China, a teenager girl was driving a cute mini scooter, waiting by the signal next to him, at mid-night. And she was busy browsing through her smart phone app, without a care in the world. And at that moment, he realized how safe China was. That little girl had no clue about danger at mid-night in a city in China. All her living experiences told her it was safe without exception.
@@Alan-fw2rz Was there on holiday in the most remote of places. Simple fact is, nobody carries cash anymore, all transactions are through the phone so easily traceable, and the government makes no attempt to hide the fact that they are watching everywhere. Absolutely safe.
That's quite an adventure. I am quite impressed that you could eat out in the middle of the night and put your expensive camera on the table. In the US, it could be snatched away in no time. Also going in the park in dark? I expect to see drug dealers, addicts and homeless people in the US and Canada. What a refreshing concept to walk alone at night in China - that's fearless freedom!!
Yes, as a Chinese person, we do not have the freedom to take drugs or own a gun. CCTV is also deemed to compromise privacy, but it is the main reason why China is safe.
Hatred, an inescapable human trait, exists even in diverse places like China. Foreigners in sensitive areas often attract undue attention, but the everyday streets of Chinese cities are marked by peace and security, offering a reassuring tranquility to both locals and visitors.
Many provinces in China have 24-hour life. That's the good thing about having the freedom to be safe, if you'll pardon the redundancy. Regards, new subscriber PS: I shared your video on X. PS2: I hate cats, they always betrayed me xD
It was pretty interesting seeing that 24hr life change over the course of the night. All the street vendors that come out around 3am surprised me a bit. Thanks for sharing on X!
It’s truly amazing to see my hometown, Shenzhen, from your perspective-a place where I grew up. Shenzhen is such a beautiful and modern city, and it’s also incredibly welcoming and inclusive. I really encourage everyone to visit; I’m sure you’ll fall in love with this city!
You can only do this safely in countries with strong Chinese or Chinese-descended cultures and populations...China (+Taiwan / Hong Kong / Macau), Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Korea, Japan...the rest of the world needs to take a long hard look at itself in terms of the freedom to be safe
No offense intended, but can you briefly explain what "Chinese-descended cultures and populations" has to do with one's being able to walk around safely at night. I definitely would NOT feel safe walking around at night here in downtown San Francisco.
@Gravitys-NOT-a-force no problem, and no offence taken (and I hope none caused). Just an observation, having travelled all over the world, the only countries in which I would feel safe walking around all night as a clear foreigner, carrying potentially expensive camera gear are the countries I mentioned. Culture, governance, policing, economics - I'm not sure why either...
@@Gravitys-NOT-a-forceit's in our culture to be orderly. Confuscius prescribed it more than 2000 years ago. No order means chaos, and there can be no prosperity in chaos
@@Gravitys-NOT-a-force He probably meant 'Confucius-influenced cultures' as those places mentioned are widely accepted as that. I've been to them all and indeed, 'safety' is the first word that comes to my mind. Downtown San Francisco is not known 'Confucius-influenced'.
Chinese here, grew up in Shenzhen, living around OCT. currently in college in the US. China really is so safe lmao. You can roam around the city past midnight and not worry about getting robbed at all. It’s such a chill city when it’s not busy like day time. Even the slums are 100x safer than the US. Lol
Nice stuff, thanks for sharing the greatly captured moments of the city when most ppls are asleep. Chinese citys have a special vibe you dont find in europe. Looking forward to visit Shenzhen & Hongkong next year! Greetings from Germany!
Shenzhen Bay sunrise is sublime. I’ve biked it a few times early in the morning. So beautiful 😍. Looks like you shot a video capturing the whole thing on your channel. Well done 👍
I came across your video on Xiaohongshu by chance. I really like your nighttime street exploration perspective-it showcases the vibrant energy of different layers of the city. You deserve more followers🥰!
Wow, amazing photography skills! ❤ The expressions are so vivid and the photos have a really strong sense of storytelling. I live in Shenzhen, and I have also used a 35mm lens to take photos at night in Shenzhen Bay park. I had no idea that the same place could be captured so well by someone else. I didn't realize that the 135mm lens focal length is so well-suited for street photography.
It's great for me to hear that you enjoy this way of recording videos, which is good at observing the details around us without losing some human emotions
Um olá, do Brasil! 🇧🇷 O algoritmo recomendou seu canal e fiquei comovido com seu olhar. Ainda não sei como descrever a sensação de olhar para o desenvolvimento da China só agora! De um país continental para outro, saudações!! Mais um inscrito.
I love the quiet nights too, looking at hardworking people working at midnight and also accompanied by animals. I dont mind staying up late, but recovering from that one no sleep night is another matter, i need at least 2 weeks.
Brilliant, pure brilliant. I'm surprised your channel is so underrated - this is quality content. That midnight park stroll a bit reminded me of a found footage horror movie though. :) Wish you all the best, keep it up.
I noticed that too. It made me feel a little sad. That area in Louhu has changed so much since I first visited Shenzhen. And it still is going through massive modification. Change... the story of Shenzhen.
It was a long night! If you have questions about the experience feel free to ask😄
in 3 am to 5 am the way to market you will find more interesting thing
It's so interesting.
He has proven that night in China is really DANGEROUS, since he got robbed by food stands for multiple times in this video

it‘s safe in most public places, just don't go to the remote areas, just in case

The safety is an unaffordable and unsustainable price, the Chinese government spends a lot of money on public security

Whenever you see aunties and uncles in China, you can really feel safe and relax.😂
Very true. The man at the end who gave me directions was so friendly.
That means that dancing queens and kings are having fun.
@@cinematicsomething ALL the Videos I have watched of People filming in CHINA, everyone say the saME THING!! "it's SAFE"
@@cinematicsomething Thanks for Making this video.
I actually admire such ppl who is able to do all these on their own without company.
Thanks for saying that. It’s not always easy.
Freedom to be safe, freedom from hate! Wow!

东亚+新加坡真的总体来说是世界上最安全的区域。 去年夏天回国常常跟朋友晚上出去喝酒 结束已是凌晨两三点独自坐taxi回家还要步行一小段 都感觉非常有安全感。 回到欧洲后，真的很天后后就不敢出门……
看来是波士顿治安太好，还是我心太大。在波士顿两年，经常半夜出门散步，也没遇到过啥事。
不知道你是不是被害妄想，我在西班牙，最爱午夜以后出门闲逛，生活欧洲十七年，从没遇到任何问题，身边也没有遇到任何问题的人(除了巴黎

Good job! I don't think anyone can do that here in New York City!
True, it would be a little harder and colder there 😂. Imagine the story you’d have! Maybe no camera but a great story :)
Chance of being robbed and raped!
Clearly a master photographer..that Sony camera is really top notch.. China, in general, seems very safe..enjoyed this video.
nice photos！🎉talent you

Yo neighbor, but I live in Houhai.😆
That's such a great ride!
One night in Shenzhen. Thank you so much for all the beautiful photos. 😊
lol. It's Shenzhen bro
The bokeh on this lens is gorgeous! I’ve been getting similar vibes from TTArtisan primes lately-affordable and artistic.
It was a fun lens to play with.
I won't be doing that In Melbourne after 12am, unsafe and risk of being robbed.
Anyway excellent lens and thanks for sharing your experience.
lived in Sydney 20 yrs ago, was pretty scary after 8 pm in most suburbs
Get to see a whole night of Shenzhen for the first time. It's heartwarming.
Really good skills. U just make the lense more valuable

Walking around some dark quiet corner spots and drinking beers on the street in 3 am, that's effing freedom right there.
Great pics Craig! And, of course, nice Hickeroo for the 360.
Thanks! Yeah, I'm rocking a Boba Fett vibe with my backpack these days.
When I saw your video, I missed home, my mother, and the classmates and friends I grew up with.

8:31 the red graffiti looking marking, means “to be demolished”. Yeah you are recording history. ❤

That's not 'demolition', that's' rich '
That mean the area is going to be rebuilt. The owner will be rich :) since they will be paid over the market value.
so meaningful and touchful，gonna cry
