I have met a young couple in Thailand recently. They were from US and flow to Singapore and they were traveling from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and then to Cambodia and Vietnam and before going back to US. We have happened to have a casual friendly conversation and I have asked them since they are so near to China, why not go to China just for a few days to see China. I told them China is very interesting. But I was surprised of what they told me. They said according to all their media reports in US and advice by their government and many other people. They were advice and told not to travel to China. Even their parents don't allow them to go to China. They were told China is not a safe country to travel. Very dirty, poor rundown infrastructures, poor transportation system, polluted, homeless people are everywhere waiting to rob tourists are common even in broad daylight. Chances of been detained for no reason by the Communist government is very high. Because China is an authoritarian state and all foreign visitors are monitored by thousands of cameras everywhere and every minute where foreign visitors go. Foreign visitors from western countries can be detained for months or even years for no reason. All these is what they know about China. The couple is like below 25 years of age and already so badly brainwashed by their government and controlled media. This is really sad.
So China introduced 144, the truth will be late, but it will not be buried.China is the country that is least afraid of others to travel. People from all over the world are welcome to travel to China, because the more you know, the more you like China.
The irony is that what they described is the real US😅 seriously, if you are the top 20 percent you are good in US. The rest of 80 percent and our roads… public transportation (for the poor) are….😅
Chinese is the most spoken language in the world. Chinese is one of the six official languages of the United Nations. There are far more Chinese speakers than English speakers.

In China, most things are affordable, but tea can be very expensive. Always ask for price before let them pack the tea for you or you may end up getting a price you are not comfortable with.
9:20 The red drink was rose rice wine and the yellow one was osmanthus-flavored rice wine 16:51 the price was 1.5 yuan per gram on the label. I think you got 100 grams at first. so it's 150 yuan. It was a public price so it wasn't overcharge. In fact, flower tea is expensive in many shops.
The housing prices in the hutong area of Beijing are very expensive, and some houses with a courtyard can cost up to 100 million yuan, even though they are bungalows.
@@VeggiesOnTour And it's not under military control.....that's the info of the police officer who is responsible for serving this neighborhood，if ppl got any problems they can contact with him, also if this neighborhood happens anything bad, the police system can easily find the ppl who should responsible for this.
The tea is more so for tourists. You guys didn't get hustled as the prices are quite expensive 1.5rmb for 1 gram. Some things in China are quite expensive, especially in tourist areas. I recommend you guys try food and places where you see lots of locals, can't go wrong. Enjoy the rest of your trip guys.
@rodgal87 I think what you said not any more. normally we Chinese also go areas near tourist to buy some gifts. the price now is under government control not allow to trouble turist. Chinese tea have a lot of types and price big different among them.
Traditionally, there are six methods of formation and usage of Chinese characters, including: pictograph-象形, simple ideograph-指事, compound ideograph-会意, phonon-semantic compound-形声, phonetic loan-假借 and derivative cognate-转注. For example: eat is "吃", it look like open mouth then put into throat, it a pictograph character. And in your video, got a lady sell you herb tea, and a type of sticky-rice cake, it called "Zeng Gao 甑糕" , the character “甑” is on her T-shirt also, it is a name of steamer, so it's called "Zeng cake". This is a simple ideograph character. If people don't go to the school and learn it, they will only able to speak Chinese, but can't write.
The local dish is called 炸酱面（Zhajiangmian, in English: Jjajangmyeon）. The drink was too expensive. That hand gesture in China means six. Chinese eat less meat, but more grains and vegetables than Westerners.
Mandarin has a phonetic system called Pinyin. Pinyin is developed based on English phonetic symbols, so it looks like English letters, but its pronunciation is different from English phonetic symbols. Chinese people start learning this phonetic system in elementary school, and most Chinese people is using this phonetic system when typing Chinese characters on the keyboard.
There's a very good vegan buffet restaurant called "素虎 Su Hu" in Chaoyang district in Beijing ( or I believe they have other locations in Beijing), which is also cheap around 60 Chinese Yuan for each person. They have variety of vegan foods and vegan cake and vegan ice cream and so on. It is one of my favourite vegan restaurant in Beijing. If you are still in Beijing, you must give it a try!!! I'm sure you'll love it!
Vegetarian restaurants in Beijing are not cheap. Their names are usually related to Buddhism. Many of them use soy products but taste like meat. You can try them.
I didn't know where you were until the 13th minute of the video. This place is called "Bell Tower". The surrounding "hutongs" are where ordinary people live. It's a 5-minute bike ride from where I live now. The Bell Tower was first built in 1272. I can't believe a bottle of water here costs 30 yuan.
Tea can range vastly in prices, especially the tea you have on video is a combination of tea mixed with different fruits., that's a different animal all by itself. It's hard to gauge if you were overpaying or not. The tea price is clearly labeled 1.5yuan per gram, which is 750yuan per 500g. There are tea leaves that are thousands of yuan per 500g, so it's really a matter of the type and quality of the tea, which is hard to tell.
Those two bottles of drinks are a bit expensive. The old lady said they are osmanthus-flavored. I guess they are homemade juice drinks. If you want to drink something more affordable, you can go to the supermarket or drink milk tea, luckin coofee
6: Extend the thumb and little finger, and hold the rest of the fingers in the palm. 7: Extend the thumb, index finger and middle finger, gather the fingertips, and hold the rest of the fingers in the palm. 8: Extend the thumb and index finger at right angles to make the English letter "L", and hold the rest of the fingers in the palm. 9: Extend the index finger to make a hook shape, and hold the rest of the fingers in the palm. 10: Extend the index fingers of both hands vertically and cross them to make the Chinese character "十".

At 15 minutes into the video, you passed by a cheese shop called "Wenyu Cheese Shop" next to the small bridge. It used to be very famous. The owner's ancestors made food for the Chinese emperor 200 years ago. I have eaten at this shop before. At that time, it was only open for 2-3 hours in the morning, and the food was sold out. I wonder if it is still delicious now?
I suggest you visit the Old Summer Palace, the most beautiful royal garden in China 200 years ago. Although many buildings and sculptures inside were burned down during the invasion of Beijing by the Eight Nation Alliance, the ruins are still very beautiful. Now it is a huge classical park. I also recommend you to go to Jingshan Park, where you can overlook the entire Forbidden City. If I remember correctly, the two parks are free or only require a few dollars in admission. In Beijing, you can't miss Beijing roast duck!!! I also recommend you to visit Xizang, Yunnan and Xinjiang!!
I guess you went to Nanluoguxiang later. Things here are super expensive. The housing prices here are also very expensive. Ten years ago, it was about 30,000 US dollars/m2
Din Tai Fung is a really good restaurant, they have a few branches here in London as well including in Covent Garden and Selfridge's. It's a Taiwanese international restaurant group.

There is a Lama Temple, pretty cool, you should definitely pay a visit❤ and national museum is free entrance, you will be amazed by those ancient artefacts.
No real Tibetans in the Lama Temple. (I live nearby, and pass by on the way to Yonghegong subway.) It's sad, because 15 years ago there used to be real monks there. And real Uyghurs on the streets selling chuanr and nan. Now they (my friends included) are gone. Disappeared around 2015.
Hi Julia and Patrick! I was in Beijing a month ago and I loved it. Beautiful amazing city with a lot of history. Make sure you visit the Great Wall. Such a magnificent structure 🤩🤩
China is the country that is least afraid of others to travel. People from all over the world are welcome to travel to China, because the more you know, the more you like China.
There’s more vegetarian restaurants than you think. It’s common. Buy a 70 yuan translation device that’s accurate and have a normal conversation with everyone. They will point you to rabbit food restaurants
nice to see you tried something other than tofu 🤣 there are so many vegetarian options all over including buffets often found near temples. the noodles and dumplings you had are pretty common and shops like that are on every corner so you didn't have to drive an hr for it 😅 you can't really get scammed when something has a price label. some things in china are actually very expensive, like high end teas. then there are other things for tourists like the floral fruit tea you bought 😂. just memorize a few key phrases like how much and the numbers so you know when to pass up something.
Those teas are special but really expensive .The number seems low but it's for just one gram, so you'd feel like stabbed once you know the final price.That's why this kind of teas are called "Flower Tea Assassins" by many Chinese. And you can't blame them overcharging because they labled the price clearly, that's always frustrating.
you were not overcharged, the sign standing there shows that the fruit tea costs 1.5 rmb per gram. it's a showed price, so i think it's not overcharge. but it's truely a little bit expensive. and if you are a budget tourist in shanghai or beijing, you must ask the price first. actually shanghai and beijing can be the most expensive city in the world. something in china are very cheap, but something can be mindblowing expensive.for example tea, some chinese tea can be ridiculous expensive.
@@VeggiesOnTour some longjing tea or pu'er tea can be over 1 millionen rmbs per kilo. and teas around 5000 rmbs per kilo are just normal in china, you can find teas at this price anywhere. i'm chinese but not a tea drinker, i can not tell what are they good at.
You could try "清和园素食自助餐厅" (name of the restaurant, in XiDan, 30ish RMB per person, buffet or dish) or "SuHu 素虎” （name of the restaurant, in QianMen, ard 65RMB per person, buffet)
Generally, Chinese people will not buy such things in tourist areas, especially things like flower tea and candy. You can see that the price of flower tea is 1.5 yuan/gram, which seems very cheap, but if you calculate it, it is 1500 yuan/kg (€200/kg), which is actually very expensive. Moreover, those flower teas and candies are relatively heavy, a little bit can be more than 100 grams. So, although this is not a scam, because the prices are all written, but you still need to be careful about such sales methods.
very good beverage with fragrans， handmade makes the price a little higher, i think perhaps 20 that i can accept. Anyway Beijing capital, reasonable cost.
Through careful observation of the video, I noticed that at 7:33, you entered the Xinmin Market (新民菜市场). 8:35 The small shop where you buy beverages is: 李家荷叶甑糕 Li's Lotus Leaf Zenggao (Steamed Cake) you ordered two bottles of fermented rice wine: Ume Plum Rice Wine (乌梅米酿) and Osmanthus Rice Wine (桂花米酿)
@@VeggiesOnTour "Features: The super high cost-performance ratio of the golden location within the 2nd Ring (二环) Road... Near the moat by the Drum Tower, there is a XinMin Market. If you just want to buy some daily fresh vegetables and fruits, this place is very good. The market’s distinguishing features are its small and exquisite nature; each remaining stall has its irreplaceable reasons. The benefits are that the prices are cheap, and the quantities are large, and the variety and prices of the ingredients make it hard for people to stop buying." I am from Beijing and know that place, but I have never been to this market. I have been away from China for almost 20 years, and don't go back often. This is the information I saw online, and I am not personally sure about its accuracy. Also, personally, I find their homemade beverages to be not very cheap.
Beijing has very extreme climate.. winter temperature can go down to 40- c.. summer can be in the high 30s.. the imperial summer palace lake freezes in winter.. with ice skaters..
Haha - good observation! Our payment is actually set up, using Alipay! We use googletranslate here and there, but sometimes it's slow and we just go with it.
the tea would be 20% to 25% of the price you spent if you go to some supermarket or buy it online. We never bought this kind of thing in place like that. LOL
It's okay in China to taste samples of street food / snacks without eventually buying them! No need to feel embarrassed to refuse such a sale in the end!
I really admire you all. I live in Harbin, the northernmost part of China. I feel that the weather is very hot now and I hardly want to go out. Beijing is even hotter than here. It's really amazing to travel to Beijing on such hot weather. Be sure to try Beijing Roast Duck and Zhajiangmian😀😀
You can also try various stir fried dishes. Many foreign tourists come to China to eat a lot of noodles, and they miss out on a huge culinary world. Personally, I highly recommend flavored eggplant, Braised pork belly, squirrel fish, local three delicacies, pickled Chinese cabbage fish, grilled fish (with soup)。风味茄子、红烧肉、松鼠鱼、地三鲜、酸菜鱼、烤鱼（带汤汁的那种）
@@ynnusliewkamwah7146 Wtf planet are you on? In what world do you not look like you're mentally ill by inventing your own spelling or punctuation. No respect for English? Anti-intellectualism in general? Brain worms? Why do Chinese people do this?
It seems that some people in the comments section are surprised or disappointed that Beijing has blue skies, perhaps their cognition is still stuck in 2016. In 2016, a journalist named ChaiJin made a documentary called "Under the Dome," which focuses on the criticism of air pollution in Beijing. Although she was right at the time, the sponsors of the documentary were all American, and some of them were well-known anti-China organizations. So you can see it as a direction that the Western countries have finally found to manipulate Western public opinion to carry out media attacks on China. As a result of the documentary, China's current leaders have continued to support afforestation and green development (which is why China is now selling electric cars). And I don't believe that Japan or South Korea, where those who marvel at the blue skies in Beijing live, don't have cloudy days. As you know, the BBC often treats their videos with some very strange color filters that are worse than the color of the quilt my grandmother found under the bed.
I have met a young couple in Thailand recently. They were from US and flow to Singapore and they were traveling from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and then to Cambodia and Vietnam and before going back to US.

西方的媒体和政客真可怕，他们的民众很天真。由此可见媒体和政客的洗脑确实厉害，就这他们还标榜他们是民主自由的，新闻是自由客观的。这也难怪那么多外国人来中国才感到震惊，因为他们一直被政府和媒体欺骗。

There is a Lama Temple, pretty cool, you should definitely pay a visit❤ and national museum is free entrance, you will be amazed by those ancient artefacts.
No real Tibetans in the Lama Temple.
(I live nearby, and pass by on the way to Yonghegong subway.)
It's sad, because 15 years ago there used to be real monks there. And real Uyghurs on the streets selling chuanr and nan. Now they (my friends included) are gone. Disappeared around 2015.
Hi Julia and Patrick! I was in Beijing a month ago and I loved it. Beautiful amazing city with a lot of history. Make sure you visit the Great Wall. Such a magnificent structure 🤩🤩
China is the country that is least afraid of others to travel. People from all over the world are welcome to travel to China, because the more you know, the more you like China.
So Incredible!! You’re right! 💯🙏🏻
Thank you
🙏🏻
enjoy yourself~~!
Hutong is a narrow street , with houses on both sides.
There’s more vegetarian restaurants than you think. It’s common. Buy a 70 yuan translation device that’s accurate and have a normal conversation with everyone. They will point you to rabbit food restaurants
We always believe that even though you know nothing of my language ,if I speak slowly enough you'll understand me🤣Like the elder lady selling drinks
🤣🤣🤣
nice to see you tried something other than tofu 🤣
there are so many vegetarian options all over including buffets often found near temples. the noodles and dumplings you had are pretty common and shops like that are on every corner so you didn't have to drive an hr for it 😅
you can't really get scammed when something has a price label. some things in china are actually very expensive, like high end teas. then there are other things for tourists like the floral fruit tea you bought 😂. just memorize a few key phrases like how much and the numbers so you know when to pass up something.
Hahaha, good suggestion this. Also we love tofu, how can you not? aha!! Its staple for vegetarians because we don't eat meat!
Those teas are special but really expensive .The number seems low but it's for just one gram, so you'd feel like stabbed once you know the final price.That's why this kind of teas are called "Flower Tea Assassins" by many Chinese. And you can't blame them overcharging because they labled the price clearly, that's always frustrating.
Flower Tea Assassins ahahaha!
If you're still in Beijing, apart from the usual tourist spots, I recommend you visit the National Museum of China.
💯🙏🏻
The price of most of Hutong in Beijing are more than 15000USD per square meter.
Oooft!!
14:03 The Chinese character for "six" is 六 , so the hand gesture is 🤙. And "ten" is 十 , with two finger cross. 😊
Ooh interesting to know that 🙏
Go back to that lake with the shops during night time. It will look even better
The sky is so blue and the street is so clean, and the food is so delicious, hahaha, amazing
Sooo true! 😂🙏🏻
you were not overcharged, the sign standing there shows that the fruit tea costs 1.5 rmb per gram. it's a showed price, so i think it's not overcharge.
but it's truely a little bit expensive.
and if you are a budget tourist in shanghai or beijing, you must ask the price first. actually shanghai and beijing can be the most expensive city in the world.
something in china are very cheap, but something can be mindblowing expensive.for example tea, some chinese tea can be ridiculous expensive.
Good advice, yeah I thought it was a high price. Either way, nice to support locals. What's the expensive teas?
@@VeggiesOnTour some longjing tea or pu'er tea can be over 1 millionen rmbs per kilo. and teas around 5000 rmbs per kilo are just normal in china, you can find teas at this price anywhere.
i'm chinese but not a tea drinker, i can not tell what are they good at.
You are great.👍
🙏🙏🙏
Din Tai Fung is a Taiwanese restaurant. YES, a Taiwanese restaurant in China. I guess you don't expect that either.
Ooh yes, we saw it was Taiwanese!
No the food is traditional mainland food like xiaolongbao dandan noodle , but the Chinese in Taiwan copied that
Welcome to Beijing, you guys should try vegetarian buffet in Beijing, where you'd be able to try many different veg dishes.
You could try "清和园素食自助餐厅" (name of the restaurant, in XiDan, 30ish RMB per person, buffet or dish) or "SuHu 素虎” （name of the restaurant, in QianMen, ard 65RMB per person, buffet)
WOW bean sauce veggie nice.. with Rice noodles.. Lovely with zuccini...
Very tasty mate!
@@VeggiesOnTour NIce....
despite 开花豆/铁蚕豆 as snacks, fava bean is not a very frequently used ingredient in daily cuisine of beijing. Oh one more thing, 豌豆黄, but it’s a pastry.
Good to know! 🙏🏻
Dude, if you can't speak the language, you can try to use a translation program to show it to someone else, that's how you communicate effectively
It’s also incredibly slow and some old folk don’t like it - so yeah you’re right but not all in circumstances!
In Chinese hand gestures, two is shown by lifting your index finger and middle finger together.
9:31 RMB30 a bottle of home made flower drink. It's a bit expensive.
You can use Apple Maps in China without using Google Maps.
Generally, Chinese people will not buy such things in tourist areas, especially things like flower tea and candy. You can see that the price of flower tea is 1.5 yuan/gram, which seems very cheap, but if you calculate it, it is 1500 yuan/kg (€200/kg), which is actually very expensive. Moreover, those flower teas and candies are relatively heavy, a little bit can be more than 100 grams. So, although this is not a scam, because the prices are all written, but you still need to be careful about such sales methods.
少说几句吧
@@weizhang2834 为什么要少说啊？那就是一种游走在法律边缘的销售模式，多少是有点问题的。类似这种销售，咱们自己人都受不了，更何况不了解情况的外国人。钱不是这么挣的
@@horaceleung8646也很反感卖这种花茶的，有点像以前卖切糕的，每次看到都很尴尬。
@@horaceleung8646明码标价你说是游走在法律边缘？😅
Real Beijingers don't even go to Maliandao to buy tea anymore.
very good beverage with fragrans， handmade makes the price a little higher, i think perhaps 20 that i can accept. Anyway Beijing capital, reasonable cost.
The BBC says there are no blue skies in Beijing
Really? 😅😅
In China, 高德地图 Amap (Gaode Maps) is widely used and very convenient.
Interesting!
Through careful observation of the video, I noticed that at 7:33, you entered the Xinmin Market (新民菜市场).
8:35 The small shop where you buy beverages is: 李家荷叶甑糕 Li's Lotus Leaf Zenggao (Steamed Cake)
you ordered two bottles of fermented rice wine: Ume Plum Rice Wine (乌梅米酿) and Osmanthus Rice Wine (桂花米酿)
Amazing insight!! Xinmin Market, is it famous? Looks local! Oh was it, it didn’t taste alcoholic
@@VeggiesOnTour "Features: The super high cost-performance ratio of the golden location within the 2nd Ring (二环) Road... Near the moat by the Drum Tower, there is a XinMin Market. If you just want to buy some daily fresh vegetables and fruits, this place is very good. The market’s distinguishing features are its small and exquisite nature; each remaining stall has its irreplaceable reasons. The benefits are that the prices are cheap, and the quantities are large, and the variety and prices of the ingredients make it hard for people to stop buying."
I am from Beijing and know that place, but I have never been to this market. I have been away from China for almost 20 years, and don't go back often. This is the information I saw online, and I am not personally sure about its accuracy. Also, personally, I find their homemade beverages to be not very cheap.
我可以放心地告诉你，所有的中国餐厅基本都有素菜，你只需要跟店员沟通，他们会告诉你的，我们去餐厅里吃饭都会点素菜的。不过街头小吃可能会少一些素食。有很多蔬菜是国外没有的，很多食物都是通过蔬菜做的，国外没有的蔬菜和食物翻译也比较难翻译，这可能是你们觉得选择少的原因。
it is obviously that you did not try the Electric -Pay , which is popularized in China & much more convenient than cash
We use Alipay 😂
👍🏻
Nice
应该不是在景区，似乎是新民菜市场，北京市东城区旧鼓楼外大街68号
网上介绍说：“特色：二环黄金地段的超高性价比·······鼓楼附近的护城河边上，有一个新民菜市场 ，只是想买些日常的新鲜蔬菜水果，这里就很不错。·······胜在小巧精致，每一个保留下的摊位，都有它不可替代的原因。优点就是价格便宜量又大，食材种类和价格都容易让人买起来停不下手。”
文中还提到他们买饮料的小店：
李家荷叶甑糕
一家小门脸，总有人在排队。不停忙活的两位白发阿姨，特别热情，会很开心的回应你的各种问题。
荷叶甑糕，18元/斤
大木桶里是热腾腾的荷叶甑糕，盛起来的时候最后会抹上厚厚的一层红枣泥。没有额外加糖，全靠红枣本身的香甜。
玫瑰凉糕，18元/份
凉糕，现场切块，外面再裹上芝麻。软糯不粘牙，有淡淡的米香，中间加了一层豆馅儿，还会搭配一份玫瑰露。
自酿醪糟
10元一盒，能吃出来是自己酿的，甜度合适，有一点度数，拿回家可以放一周。
甜醅子
甘肃有名的小吃，冰一下，适合夏天吃。
乌梅醪糟： 很浓的乌梅味儿，酸酸甜甜的，醪糟不松垮，有嚼头，配乌梅意外的好喝，春天多喝酸不上火，可以多喝点这个。
Great insights! Xie xie! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Beijing is my favourite city ❤
the reason why Chinese have a different hand gesture for number 6 is that because how six is written in Chinese characters.
Interesting insight, we didn’t know that! 🙏🏻
支持兄弟你们，视频更新的太慢啦，不够看，我跟你们相反 ，我是在欧洲的中国youtuber
We’ll subscribe to you!
@@VeggiesOnTour thank you bro，I know what Europeans really like to eat, and I can help you if I like it
Beijing has very extreme climate.. winter temperature can go down to 40- c.. summer can be in the high 30s.. the imperial summer palace lake freezes in winter.. with ice skaters..
你根本就不了解北京的气候,你竟扯到北京的冬天竟达到-40C度纯粹就是笑话。
哪有零下40度噢
Wow, very extreme - what's the best time of year to visit?
❤❤
summer time in beijing
💯
在北京，一般情况下，500元500克的茶叶不算是好茶叶。5000元以上的500克的茶叶才算是好茶叶。茶叶可以自己喝，也可以作为礼品送人。
北京的物价比巴黎低一点点，如果想在北京以低价格旅游的话多少会影响旅行质量的，所以还是别太计较物价，更多的关注历史、文化方面，才会更加不虚此行！
Interesting to know! 🙏🏻
you haven't got your payment/translation app set up properly!
Haha - good observation! Our payment is actually set up, using Alipay! We use googletranslate here and there, but sometimes it's slow and we just go with it.
希望你们玩得开心！
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
the tea would be 20% to 25% of the price you spent if you go to some supermarket or buy it online. We never bought this kind of thing in place like that. LOL
Whooops!! 😂
最后那个茶你们可能喝不习惯，哈哈~~~茶业一般都很贵的~
@@arronjack2028 也不一定！不是專業精品茶專賣店或知名得獎茶品，非觀光景區內的特殊茶飲，一般街區大衆茶也有不少平價飲品！
Have a good day!
🙏🙏🙏
She so gorgeous,look lika an actress😊
😂🙏🏻
in China, we use one hand gesture number 1-10
If you dip the dumpling into the soy sauce + vinegar which they served on the table, the taste will be much nicer and unique.
Ooooh!
if you guys dont eat meat you can tell them “不要肉 bu yao rou，吃素 chi su” you can get that kind of food almost everywhere in China
🙏🏻
8:06有素食版本的 很好吃
Oooh!
北京胡同，12万-20万左右一平米，面积小的每平米比较便宜，大概12万人民币一平米，如果面积很大，那就非常值钱😂
At China,the Chinese just speak their own language to u,its funny tho😆
Hahaha they do 😂
It's okay in China to taste samples of street food / snacks without eventually buying them! No need to feel embarrassed to refuse such a sale in the end!
Good to know, us Brits feel inclined to buy it - so we try to avoid tasters if we won’t buy it 😂😅
Amazing place and fantastic video
👍👍👍💝💃🕺🎊🇨🇳💪
👍👍👍👏👏👏😘
I really admire you all. I live in Harbin, the northernmost part of China. I feel that the weather is very hot now and I hardly want to go out. Beijing is even hotter than here. It's really amazing to travel to Beijing on such hot weather. Be sure to try Beijing Roast Duck and Zhajiangmian😀😀
We’ll try and visit Harbin next time!
Mei Gui = rose
You can also try various stir fried dishes. Many foreign tourists come to China to eat a lot of noodles, and they miss out on a huge culinary world. Personally, I highly recommend flavored eggplant, Braised pork belly, squirrel fish, local three delicacies, pickled Chinese cabbage fish, grilled fish (with soup)。风味茄子、红烧肉、松鼠鱼、地三鲜、酸菜鱼、烤鱼（带汤汁的那种）
They r vegetarian
@@ynnusliewkamwah7146 Wtf planet are you on? In what world do you not look like you're mentally ill by inventing your own spelling or punctuation. No respect for English? Anti-intellectualism in general? Brain worms? Why do Chinese people do this?
The price of the drink is so expensive.
茶是比较贵，中国是一个比较喜欢喝茶的地方
Rule of thumb in China: if you see a lot of local crowds buying it, then it’s generally good. Otherwise, don’t bother.
Good advice, always try to stick to that unless we're desperate!
Why does Beijing have blue sky？
It’s summer
I think the lady surcharged you for the tea. No way a bottle of tea would cost 30 rmb. 5 rmb at most.
Really? Should have been 5RMB?
Gotta be careful with pear juice 😄😄😄 its natural laxative, dont ask how i know
😂😂😂😂
July is the hottest season of Beijing.
Looks like it! 😂😅
Wow, the lady looks like Lana Del Rey!
Hahaha, thank you mate!
这对夫妇颜值挺高的，特地从b站来油管看🤣
😂😂😂
It seems that some people in the comments section are surprised or disappointed that Beijing has blue skies, perhaps their cognition is still stuck in 2016. In 2016, a journalist named ChaiJin made a documentary called "Under the Dome," which focuses on the criticism of air pollution in Beijing. Although she was right at the time, the sponsors of the documentary were all American, and some of them were well-known anti-China organizations. So you can see it as a direction that the Western countries have finally found to manipulate Western public opinion to carry out media attacks on China. As a result of the documentary, China's current leaders have continued to support afforestation and green development (which is why China is now selling electric cars). And I don't believe that Japan or South Korea, where those who marvel at the blue skies in Beijing live, don't have cloudy days. As you know, the BBC often treats their videos with some very strange color filters that are worse than the color of the quilt my grandmother found under the bed.
Beijing is beautifully sunny!!
