Those two old men are really friendly. They suggested that you slow down your drinking pace so that you can appreciate the beauty of Baijiu and it is less likely for you to get drunk, which is beneficial to your health. They won't take your money because in China, friendship is more important than money. Hutongs are not slums. In Beijing, people living in hutongs are old residents who have lived here for generations. They own the houses, so they don't need to pay rent. Given the housing prices in Beijing, these two old men are rich and don't lack money. They just want to enjoy the wonderful time with you in a friendly way. China is a country that attaches great importance to friendship, tradition, and family. I wish you a pleasant journey!
Most of your words are exactly right! But they are not rich people. Although the location of their house is very near the center of Beijing, they won't or can't sell house in Hutong for cash. That's why they don't look like rich man. And of course they can feed themselves, just normal standard.
@@klauslayard7469 If they are willing to sell their hutong houses, they will become rich. The price of hutong houses in this location is 40,000 US dollars per square meter. The average size of each hutong house is about 200 square meters. Do the math yourself.
@@dakraol6680 You don't know the reality of Beijing. These old people are not rich people. Many people in hutong houses only live in 10-30 square meters, and if these houses are sold, they may be about 150,000 yuan per square meter. The money obtained could only buy very small or suburban houses elsewhere in Beijing. From the clothes and mannerisms, they should have ordinary jobs or have retired, and their monthly income is not much, I estimate less than $1,000. But because they are actually ordinary Chinese (even poor ones in Beijing), their hospitality is all the more valuable, isn't it? ----- This comment is written by a 40-year-old living in Beijing
This is by far the most down to earth video I’ve watched on UA-cam, you guys barely knew what was said yet conversation and eating/drinking went on so nicely.
Thats what its all about, a universal connection with anyone as long as people open up to eachother. I found drinking on small chairs in the sunshine to be a familiar setting to something I would do back home in Newcastle. Really grateful to these guys, took us under their wing and really looked after us. Appreciate the kind words
This was amazing! You are the first UA-camr who has had traditional alcohol with local people I have seen. This is the best way to experience a local culture in a country. Good job!
I saw the pure peace and love in you video. What a great moment when you sit down drinking and chatting with these two old gentlemen. Wish you the best in your journey.
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt Don't pretend this is just about nationality! Bad behavior knows no borders; every country has individuals who think they have the right to be rude anywhere. Clearly, you're not condemning such behavior; you're merely using it as a pretext to target China. Such a low and clumsy tactic, akin to a barking but cowardly dog venting its frustration.
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt Those people who did that in the UK are nasty (not there, based on what I saw through the videos). To your question, Yes, for example, on 11pm 8th May 2012, right in Beijing, a British man tried to rape a girl in the open air and fight with whoever tried to stop him. This was on the local news every where, but I guess you don't know this as it is too shame to be reported in the UK? There are nasty people everywhere, no country or nation or race is special. I've been in UK for over 14 years. To be honest, I received harassment far more than people from any country can receive in China. However, I still see UK as a lovely and great country. This is our difference~
Watched a lot of china visiting videos after the 144 hours visa-free policy. I have to say this video is the excectly TOP1. You guys are the first youtuber who put perspective on the cityzen's real daily life and the culture communication. I didn't expect you learned a little bit Chinese, when I heared you say "chi le ma" （吃了吗/have you eaten）I was shocked. Most foreigners don't know this is the real way chinese say hi. A comment on Bilibili (your video is moved to this main video website in china) said your video shows the original situation when the cultural exchanged started. I am touched.Respect, enthsiasm and true heart could cross the language barrier. I wish for world peace forever.
@@中国台湾公民张震岳 Not true. I have never worked in China. Before this day in Beijing I had been to china ONCE before in 2018 and it was for 18 hours on a layover from Bangkok to London. I didn't know any Mandarin then. The original comment is correct, I learned Beijing slang and basic Mandarin for this trip.
I am completely in love with these two Chinese gentlemen. What welcoming, generous people! Excellent hosts. How is it possible for certain countries to vilify the Chinese people and culture so much?
really funny. two interesting lao wai(foreigner) and the lao beijingers make the fantastic and enjoy drama. if without language barrier, those mates should drink and talk the whol e afternoon and half night.
It is funny when Jack asks Do you eat in Chinese and the elder gentleman askes back . Jack answers he is hungry and he recommended jack to get Jianbing (煎饼） exactly the food they ended up getting.
As a Beijinger, I would like to tell you that if Chinese people, especially Beijingers, take the initiative to invite you to eat and drink, including smoking, it means that they think you are friends, do not give them money, because this kind of behavior will be regarded as contemptuous of them or you do not want to treat them as friends. I can assure you that these two Beijing uncles have far more assets than you can imagine. Hutong housing prices are the most expensive in China, far more than London and Tokyo.
@@JackAynsleyTravel China is definitely not what the U.S. and Western media propagandize! Sanctions to smear China will only make China stronger! Chinese people are friendly, warm, hard-working, courageous, intelligent and united! I warmly invite you to visit Nanjing, China! Nanjing is the ancient capital of China during the Six Dynasties! You will have many, many stories and sights to photograph! We welcome friendly people from all over the world to visit China!
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vtthere are always 2 sides to a coin. If you choose the believe the curated western take on it. Sure, by all means the Chinese are devils. One can lead a horse to water, but one can’t make him drink. Too many sheep in this world.
man, this is wt someone expects at a new place pure hearts opening about their experiences , communicating....this video shows the love and peace humans posses ....finest video, finest people of china..
30:40 The old man didn't tell you to eat three things in sequence and then drink. He just reminds you to drink slowly at the beginning and eat some peanuts while drinking. Then he introduced you to those three things in turn
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt Thanks for the propaganda, NATO bot. Let's just ignore how the UK and their allies infiltrated, bullied and murdered Chinese to exploit their people and their resources for 200 years and are still trying to cripple and destabilize their society to this day to maintain anglo-hegemony over the whole world. "QUESTION:" Are you paid by the NED or are you just a regular deluded fascist enjoying the destruction of foreign lands?
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt There are rude people and stupid people from ALL countries mate ! You wanna have a look in Spain , in Bali , In Thailand how disgusting some of the British tourists behave? There are so many of them in Asia thinking they are superior to the locals and doing crazy and dangerous things they would never do back in their own countries..... Go somewhere else with your BS ! This video just showcase Chinese hospitality and you want to talk about something irrelevant !
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt What even is the point of bringing something like that up in a discussion that has absolutely zero bearing on the video and the comment above? Are you just doing this to continue shilling your sinophobic rhetoric to appease your NATO masters? Pretty pathetic of you.
The reason why Beijing Hutong only has public toilets is because these buildings were built over the past few hundred years. During the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, there were no underground sewage pipes. Now these buildings are all protected buildings and cannot be demolished or rebuilt on a large scale, so underground sewage pipes cannot be installed. They can only serve the public in the form of public toilets
Theese Hutong houses were renovated with sewer and water toilet these days. These houses are very expensive now because of the location. The owners rent part of the rooms out with expensive rent. They live comfortable with the rent mincome.
@@Mingo101AtTiktok apparently you aint local, ppl still live in hutong who are locals aint rich at all. they dont own the house nor the land, the gov owns them due to some history. Even if they own their houses, as long as it's not the whole yard, it isn't worth as much as a 2b flat in beijing. as hutong house sizes are generally quite small per family.
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt We Chinese also hate those who harass Chinese people who play the piano. They bring shame to us. They destroy our international image. But they are only a small minority. They cannot represent all Chinese people. Please don't say this over and over again under each reply.
Your encounter with two Beijing gentlemen is both humorous and touching, which is evidence that people from different languages and cultures around the world can coexist peacefully. Today I saw that You have already opened a Bilibili account, followed you on both UA-cam and Bilibili. wish you a pleasant journey.😊
The scene of drinking together really feels warm and sincere. When the blogger mentioned giving some money for vegetables to the elderly man, he excitedly stood up and said there was no need for money! Indeed, the elderly man already considers the blogger a true friend, a guest. There is no need for guests to pay! This scene is truly heartwarming! I hope our friendship lasts long, and I also hope you can spread our values correctly, letting more people understand the Chinese people! Thank you!
Since you took the train to Xinjiang for over 30 hours, you have had a nickname Iron Butt Couple in China. Most Chinese people are unwilling to choose such a long and sleepless train, and I admire your courage.
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt They can't represent all Chinese people. Every country has bad people. Every country also has good people. Their bad people just make up a small part of this country.
Chinese are hard bargainers in business but when treating guests including casual acquaintances, they are warm and exceedingly generous. Despite language difficulty on each side, the friendship is sincere and true.
They really appreciate meeting you. They trying to tell you that come back again to look for them and they will forever welcome you again. I love this video so much. Its madness people so friendly and kind.
I just finished the Pakistan series and moved on to this video. I found myself absolutely fascinated with Pakistan but I couldn’t stop smiling watching you two converse and share drinks and food with the two men from Beijing. ❤❤ much love from the US!
I have seen many bloggers who travel to China, and almost none of them take the initiative to communicate and greet locals with enthusiasm like you do. However, you have done so and received positive responses. I am Chinese, and what I want to say is that the vast majority of Chinese people are enthusiastic. When you need any help, you can boldly try to communicate with people and seek help
My hats off to you, I've never seen someone do what you just did, striking up a friendship with the local Chinese with rudimentary language skills but building a deep respect and friendship. If there are more people like you, there is still hope for peace to our world.
Welcome to travel to China again. I really like your travel videos. You can visit more natural scenery, such as the Five Mountains, East Great Mountain: Tài Shān, West Great Mountain: Huà Shān, South Great Mountain: Héng Shān, North Great Mountain: Héng Shān, Center Great Mountain: Sōng Shān.
Amazing video mate! Not many others making content like this in China, so amazing how you are able to converse in mandarin in such a short period of time 😵
As a Cantonese, I was impressed by the hospitality of a grandma in Hutong when I first visited Beijing in 2015. She showed me how to get to my hostel, quite enthusiastically, as she put it, 'This is who we are, as the people of Hutong.'
Fantastic experience. drinking baijiu with Beijing local people in hutong. This man is a TikTok influencer (Chinese version called douyin) and he asked if you are a content creator like him
Thank you ahah just me and the old boy influencing the world. Although I'm not sure how good my influencing is when I just like to sit in the sun, eat and drink with new friends
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vthe just means that you are a funking arrogant rubbish who just like the people you mentioned, go back to your grave you foolish idiot
Absolutely most incredible video about foreigners traveling in Beijing. You and the two old men did not understand each other most of the time but you did understand each other in certain way based on kindness from both sides. And the sip drinking is not mandatory of Beijing or China but just considered as a healthy way of drinking to not getting drunk too fast.
I smiled ear to ear watching you enjoy food and drinks with the senior residents and each understand the other only by 20%. They were so caring that they watched out for you and didn’t want you to get blind drunk. Unlike other societies where the guys would snicker and think it’s comical to get you wasted/inebriated. Bravo to you and Paige for interacting in this way with the locals - I bet they will have good stories to tell their friends & families for a looooooon time!
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt Finally, the only thing I know about playing the piano is that any trivial matter about the Chinese people will be exploited and exaggerated by the Western media into something unforgivable. The Western media will always look at China with a magnifying glass, but they will always be saints! For example, during the Palestinian genocide, the mainstream Western media suddenly became blind; haha, typical hypocritical double standards of the West!
Hi Jack, I'm a student from Beijing and I saw your video on Bilibili. Your comprehension skills are brilliant! I hope you have experienced the enthusiasm of the Chinese people. We may meet again in China? All the best to you. :)
Hey! Thanks for coming over from Bilibili to watch the video!! We have been having the best time in China, hopefully when we can back nexts we may meet! ❤️
How interesting it is that obviously you two speak different languages, your Chinese level can not understand his meaning, the old man also does not understand English, but you are in a variety of misunderstandings produced friendship, it shows that as long as the positive attitude, human beings do not need language can understand each other and become good friends! This is peaceful social relations! It's so touching❤
You are lucky enough to experience a Beijing local's lunch. Peanut rice, pig's tongue, and meat jelly are often eaten by men in Beijing for drinks. Although they don't speak the same language, one of them brought out peanut rice from home, and the other one bought pork tongue and meat jelly from the neighborhood especially for you. I'm glad my fellow Beijingers showed their passion. I hope your video will show more people the real China.
Welcome to China, because you are friendly, you gain friendliness. These two old people are from Beijing. The price of houses here is 200,000 RMB per square meter.
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt If you are friendly, then the people around you are friendly, just like when you ask me this question, I believe you are also friendly
This is indeed a relatively common drinking scene and habit in China. When drinking is paired with delicious dishes, it can not only add flavor, but also make the drinking process more rich and enjoyable. While tasting delicious food, chatting while drinking tea and enjoying the relaxed and leisurely atmosphere, this way also reflects the integration of Chinese food culture and social culture. Different regions may also have their own characteristic side dishes and drinking customs, all of which have unique charm.
Awesome man. The local peoples so friendly and kind. They told you to drink slowly do not drink straight away. Just sip it and enjoy the side dishes while u sip. They told u they own their own hse and they dont pay the rent. Thats Jelly dessert. He said if u dont like the Jelly dessert juz leave it and eat the meat or nuts. I can’t believe it the people are so friendly there. I have never been to China. Hope to visit someday. You spoke chinese pretty good the pronunciation . Yes you are right. He said Beijing culture doesnt like cheers their culture is drink with sip only. They were asking you are a Content Creator in Tik Tok (Dou Yin) mean Tik Tok. They both knowing each other from Tik Tok. What a nice people’s and i really feel impressed with their genuine and generosity. He told you Beijing people sincere and love making friends and without mention about money. Your message really touching their hearts. ♥️ Im your new subscriber from Malaysia.
Friends, we Chinese people welcome the world compatriots to come to our country, as long as you are honest and objective expression. As you can see, the language barrier does not break our warm welcome to your arrival. In the big cities of China, many young people can speak some English, but in order to better communicate and experience the local culture, you can prepare translation software before you come
This is one of the most interesting videos I have ever watched. Your conversation with two elderly people made me laugh uncontrollably. It's so cute and warm. Welcome to China! Also, some people may have already said that they ultimately hope you will go to that table to drink together in the future.
As a Chinese born Canadian… Jack/Paige… you are both my most favorite dual travel vlogger. You both have an open mindset, giving yourself and us the opportunity to have the same travel experience whilst just watching your videos. It’s a breath of fresh air! We are living in a different world these days… having to live through covid… many ppl (Chinese) have been a victim, been demonized by the pandemic. I truly wish with your videos… everyone can be more open to other cultures, embrace one another’s language and food. Thank you so so much for your effort and time to explore, and learn the truth of China and the ppl. God bless you both!
Definitely the best video I've ever seen！Thank you for sharing the most authentic China. Chinese people are definitely the friendliest and most hospitable!
特别真实的视频，充分体现了旅游的真谛和北京人的热情，语言不通的交流又真切又搞笑，播放量不行应该是被限流了，支持博主！ A particularly real video that fully embodies the true meaning of tourism and the enthusiasm of Beijingers. The communication between people who don’t understand the language is really sincere and interesting. This video may be partially restricted. Huge respect!
Great video of showcasing the hospitality of Chinese Hutong Culture. The cozy and welcoming hospitality appeal to people watching it, want to join you guys and help with a better understanding and communication. I lived in Beijing, might give some help for next visit if you like.
I had to rewind to see what i thought i saw. At 10:07 you both holding nothing, straight faced! 😂 Love watching you both and glad to see a new vid in a new place. Keep on doing what yall do and safe journeys. As always much love from Maine, USA.
Hutongs are the most expensive areas in China, but they are not something that can be bought with money. The people who own houses in hutongs is over one million yuan. They live in hutongs in the center of Beijing because they have many convenient conditions, such as better school admission qualifications. Hutongs are not slums.
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt We Chinese also hate those who harass Chinese people who play the piano. They bring shame to us. They destroy our international image. But they are only a small minority. They cannot represent all Chinese people. Please don't say this over and over again under each reply.
I"m so glad you put the translations of what they are saying. I have videos from my trip to China back in 2007 and I have no idea what they are saying.
I haven’t been back to Beijing for so long ! It seems that BJ has become more beautiful! Thanks for letting me have a second trip through your channel. Great editing ❤
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt there are always some bad apples in 1.4 billion people. the lady who harassed the British men was also criticised in Chinese social media. also keep in mind that the lady in the harass video is a Chinese official and we all know the Chinese officials are all crazy. But you are wrong to demonise the whole Chinese population by using one bad inccident.
Chinese seems like a difficult language, thanks for translating everything in the subtitles! Also it seems quiet there, very different from India and Pakistan. Looking forward to seeing more of this journey!
I must say this is the first time I made a comment on UA-cam to whatever I watched. This video is so authentic. There was no trace of pretentiousness that I can detect. It is almost like I was there and enjoying with Jack and Paige.
appreciate what you did in old traditional Hutong China, and love the way you were doing. you are so brave to talk with Chinese even there is a language barrier.
Absolutely stunning display of humanity!! Absolutely incredible. Why haven't the countries you visited make you a goodwill ambassador?? Please keep you and Paige safe while you push the envelop of adventures. She is such a doll. God bless!!!
Omg I loved watching this video! Love your open mindedness and friendly personality! It's great that you are trying to communicate with the locals, it was a really sweet and fun interaction 😊
You guys don’t understand each other but sort of understand each other at the same time. They recommended you that pancake when you guys first met. You actually brought it back. That’s so funny😂
The first time I went to Shanghai in 2002, public toilet lacks door was a challenge to us. So female friends would go in pair with one acting as door, one female friend carried an umbrella as her way to keep privacy, lol. By 2010 world expo, Shanghai was totally different, public restrooms were clean with door, just some you have to buy toilet paper, not anymore in my last visit 2019. Look forward to visit again.
Yes 😁 So glad to see a new video Jack and Paige! I’ve loved watching all your videos and was wondering when and where the next one would be! I would love to do what you guys do - also I love that you learn a bit of the language as well, it’s very inspiring and so amazing that you can interact with people! I appreciate the addition of subtitles when you speak to locals! ❤
Hey Kirsty, thank you so much for watching! I’m glad you liked the subtitles too haha they take awhile but add so much context to those that don’t understand the Chinese (me included ahah)
This is so amazing. A true Newcastle fan, proven by the authentic accent, was having a drink with two local olderly Bejing man with true Beijing accent, across the language barrier. You were having a wonderful time. 🙏
this is the most interesting China travel UA-cam video I have watched. you know how to start a party with some locals not much understanding each other.
I saw your video on Bilibili and thought it was amazing! Although everyone's language is not very fluent, your interaction is so interesting! Welcome to come to China to play, and thank you for presenting the real China to the world.❤❤❤
This is so interesting. Going to a strange country and having a party while chatting, hahaha. They are very worried that you will get drunk. Drinking slowly and savoring snacks slowly is a relaxed life. It is worth mentioning that the hutongs there have a history of 700 years at the earliest, and many houses are cultural relics that cannot be demolished or destroyed, so they look very old. You can understand it as civilians living near Buckingham Palace, but they were not driven away and their houses were not purchased by capitalists.
These guys are local Beijingners. They own the place, so no rent. These houses are not to be sold. Can be rented or given back to the government and get a few apartments in the suburbs.
@@JackAynsleyTravel 就是因为经济发展了，导致他们资产多现金少，如果卖了老房子给政府就会获得很多现金，但是买不起当地的房子，需要去更远的地方才可能买得起房子。It is because of the economic development that they have more assets and less cash. If they sell their old houses to the government, they will get a lot of cash, but they cannot afford to buy a local house, and they need to go farther to buy a house.
Hey! Jack it's nice to see you in Beijing, China where, I'd love to live forever because of lovely mixture of its culture and advanced lifestyle. I never been there but I wish to be because of their jolly friendly behavior. I've been mismarried by its building structures, people's face values, weather, street life and the most, their extremely hospitality. Live long, God Bless you both. M. Nadeem
The 2 Backstreet Boys are absolutely wonderful people. Thanks for bringing us this fantastic video. The uncle who drank with you guys makes videos on Douyin which is the Chinese (original) version of TikTok. He said to you the best English cigarette is triple 5 State Express. The crunchy bean you ate is fried broad bean.
Hey guys, nice to see you have another video up, currently watching this now and at 10:00 minutes in, are you and Paige acting like you're holding onto a handrail LOL? Funny stuff! Your India and Pakistan vlogs were wicked and my partner and I love watching the videos. All the best on your travels and be safe ❤
Hi Jack & Paige, we really enjoyed your video! And I was very positively surprised that you know the Chinese drinking etiquette of lowering your glass than the others’ by clinking! So did the two “dàye” in this video😄 I really appreciate the interest you’ve taken in getting to know such things. Just offering them money in this case might seem a little arrogant, but no worries, we all know that you meant it in a good way. Maybe for the next time you could give people some small stuff like a souvenir from the UK if you happen to have any. Cheers laotie! ❤
Let me clarify one thing, the gentlemen in the Hutong are not short of money. If you know the value of their house, you will be shocked. In addition, in China, giving money directly is embarrassing, usually treating younger generations or their employees. If you want to express gratitude, you should send gifts.
Thank you for letting me know. This was our first day in china so still getting to learn the culture, but in the end, these uncles taught us a lot and was a very valuable first day. I don't think any other people arrive in beijing, go to the southern Hutongs and drink with the locals in the street on their first day 😅
@@JackAynsleyTravel But what's interesting is that sometimes you should express your willingness to pay first, which not only shows your understanding of etiquette but also allows the host to refuse you, thus better fulfilling their desire to show hospitality.😂

As a Beijinger, I would like to tell you that if Chinese people, especially Beijingers, take the initiative to invite you to eat and drink, including smoking, it means that they think you are friends, do not give them money, because this kind of behavior will be regarded as contemptuous of them or you do not want to treat them as friends.
I can assure you that these two Beijing uncles have far more assets than you can imagine. Hutong housing prices are the most expensive in China, far more than London and Tokyo.
Thank you so much for telling me!

The reason why Beijing Hutong only has public toilets is because these buildings were built over the past few hundred years. During the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, there were no underground sewage pipes. Now these buildings are all protected buildings and cannot be demolished or rebuilt on a large scale, so underground sewage pipes cannot be installed. They can only serve the public in the form of public toilets

@@YINGZHANG-zh4zj虽然贵但是住在这的还是原来的老土著，不见得有钱。
Theese Hutong houses were renovated with sewer and water toilet these days. These houses are very expensive now because of the location. The owners rent part of the rooms out with expensive rent. They live comfortable with the rent mincome.
@@Mingo101AtTiktok apparently you aint local, ppl still live in hutong who are locals aint rich at all. they dont own the house nor the land, the gov owns them due to some history.

Welcome to China to experience our hospitality and friendiness.
Your encounter with two Beijing gentlemen is both humorous and touching, which is evidence that people from different languages and cultures around the world can coexist peacefully. Today I saw that You have already opened a Bilibili account, followed you on both UA-cam and Bilibili. wish you a pleasant journey.😊
The scene of drinking together really feels warm and sincere. When the blogger mentioned giving some money for vegetables to the elderly man, he excitedly stood up and said there was no need for money! Indeed, the elderly man already considers the blogger a true friend, a guest. There is no need for guests to pay! This scene is truly heartwarming! I hope our friendship lasts long, and I also hope you can spread our values correctly, letting more people understand the Chinese people! Thank you!

Since you took the train to Xinjiang for over 30 hours, you have had a nickname Iron Butt Couple in China. Most Chinese people are unwilling to choose such a long and sleepless train, and I admire your courage.

I have seen many bloggers who travel to China, and almost none of them take the initiative to communicate and greet locals with enthusiasm like you do. However, you have done so and received positive responses. I am Chinese, and what I want to say is that the vast majority of Chinese people are enthusiastic. When you need any help, you can boldly try to communicate with people and seek help
Conversations between friendly people. Very heartwarming and nice video.
what lovely people! caring about your health, feeding you, and beeing so communicative with you. true hospitality.
My hats off to you, I've never seen someone do what you just did, striking up a friendship with the local Chinese with rudimentary language skills but building a deep respect and friendship. If there are more people like you, there is still hope for peace to our world.

Absolutely most incredible video about foreigners traveling in Beijing. You and the two old men did not understand each other most of the time but you did understand each other in certain way based on kindness from both sides. And the sip drinking is not mandatory of Beijing or China but just considered as a healthy way of drinking to not getting drunk too fast.
I smiled ear to ear watching you enjoy food and drinks with the senior residents and each understand the other only by 20%. They were so caring that they watched out for you and didn’t want you to get blind drunk. Unlike other societies where the guys would snicker and think it’s comical to get you wasted/inebriated. Bravo to you and Paige for interacting in this way with the locals - I bet they will have good stories to tell their friends & families for a looooooon time!

You are lucky enough to experience a Beijing local's lunch. Peanut rice, pig's tongue, and meat jelly are often eaten by men in Beijing for drinks. Although they don't speak the same language, one of them brought out peanut rice from home, and the other one bought pork tongue and meat jelly from the neighborhood especially for you. I'm glad my fellow Beijingers showed their passion.
I hope your video will show more people the real China.

This is indeed a relatively common drinking scene and habit in China. When drinking is paired with delicious dishes, it can not only add flavor, but also make the drinking process more rich and enjoyable. While tasting delicious food, chatting while drinking tea and enjoying the relaxed and leisurely atmosphere, this way also reflects the integration of Chinese food culture and social culture. Different regions may also have their own characteristic side dishes and drinking customs, all of which have unique charm.
I love you guys so much. You are nice and funny! You can communicate with the locals so well. you brought tears in my eyes. Enjoy your trip in China!
Awesome man. The local peoples so friendly and kind. They told you to drink slowly do not drink straight away. Just sip it and enjoy the side dishes while u sip.
They told u they own their own hse and they dont pay the rent. Thats Jelly dessert. He said if u dont like the Jelly dessert juz leave it and eat the meat or nuts.
I can’t believe it the people are so friendly there. I have never been to China. Hope to visit someday.
You spoke chinese pretty good the pronunciation .
Yes you are right. He said Beijing culture doesnt like cheers their culture is drink with sip only.

Hutongs are the most expensive areas in China, but they are not something that can be bought with money. The people who own houses in hutongs is over one million yuan. They live in hutongs in the center of Beijing because they have many convenient conditions, such as better school admission qualifications. Hutongs are not slums.
I didn't know this! It's crazy how different places can be "online" vs "real life"

this is the most interesting China travel UA-cam video I have watched. you know how to start a party with some locals not much understanding each other.
I saw your video on Bilibili and thought it was amazing! Although everyone's language is not very fluent, your interaction is so interesting! Welcome to come to China to play, and thank you for presenting the real China to the world.❤❤❤
Amazing true reality of china! I just found your channel and can't wait to continue the journey with you. Well done from Canada
你是最棒的博主，特别喜欢你们旅游时入乡随俗，理解和融入当地文化的旅行态度！
Absolutely incredible video. So real hutong life and hutong people. ❤❤
My fav video so far!
Absolutely Amazing and special experience，friendly old man and traditional drink and food,unbelievable.thanks for sharing
This is so interesting. Going to a strange country and having a party while chatting, hahaha. They are very worried that you will get drunk. Drinking slowly and savoring snacks slowly is a relaxed life. It is worth mentioning that the hutongs there have a history of 700 years at the earliest, and many houses are cultural relics that cannot be demolished or destroyed, so they look very old. You can understand it as civilians living near Buckingham Palace, but they were not driven away and their houses were not purchased by capitalists.
hahah, they were very cautious but I learned slowly!
These guys are local Beijingners. They own the place, so no rent. These houses are not to be sold. Can be rented or given back to the government and get a few apartments in the suburbs.
Oh wow I didn’t know that!
one snall old house = 1 million dollar.
@@JackAynsleyTravel 就是因为经济发展了，导致他们资产多现金少，如果卖了老房子给政府就会获得很多现金，但是买不起当地的房子，需要去更远的地方才可能买得起房子。It is because of the economic development that they have more assets and less cash. If they sell their old houses to the government, they will get a lot of cash, but they cannot afford to buy a local house, and they need to go farther to buy a house.
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt There are also British people who came to China to sell drugs and were sentenced to death for violating Chinese law.
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt 我来说一下我了解的这件事情，个人观点仅供参考。首先他们不是游客，是在录制电视节目。刚开始气氛很好，他们去英国网红大叔那里，希望能使用一下公共钢琴，大叔便友好地让给他们用了。当他们弹上钢琴后才看到大叔正在直播，所以又跟大叔沟通，希望能不要直播正在录制的内容，以免节目内容提前泄露。他们之间的沟通产生了误会，中国的电视工作者英语并不流畅，他没有表达清楚缘由，只说了自己有保密合同，并且不知道自己使用了命令的口吻。这是因为中国的部分英语教学并不严谨，并且由于在中国国内没有语境练习不堪实用。英国大叔听了这些话有些恼火，觉得这几个中国人的要求很自我、口气强硬。以上都是因为误会造成的矛盾，我觉得是完全能够理解的。双方争执起来以后，中国电视工作者在英语能力有限，不了解当地法律风俗的前提下，下意识的用了我有肖像权这个在中国常用的说法，虽然可以理解但确实会让英国大叔和其他网友感到冒犯和不舒服。英国大叔则指出在英国公共场合拍摄不受限制，双方已然在各自的世界和情绪里难以沟通。英国大叔气愤的同时，也了解怎样可以制造热点话题、带来流量。于是他利用这一点，说了一些带有贬低或歧视性质的词语，如在西方叙事中带有贬义的共产主义国家等。在直播中给中国人的情绪煽风点火，又带动英国网友的对立情绪。使个体之间因语言不通、不了解当地文化所引起的纠纷，上升到国家、人民层面这一西方媒体乐于炒作的矛盾。于是冲突彻底爆发。所以在我看来，这件事可以说是夹杂着英国大叔的偏见、傲慢和商业运作，中国电视工作者未做足的功课和强硬态度，因语言不通和和文化差异引起的普通纠纷，并被不当放大到了民族层面，被政客利用和宣传。
Finally a new video. Was waiting anxiously
I hope you enjoyed it!
@@JackAynsleyTravel Obviously, I watched every second of your vlogs.
Hey! Jack it's nice to see you in Beijing, China where, I'd love to live forever because of lovely mixture of its culture and advanced lifestyle. I never been there but I wish to be because of their jolly friendly behavior. I've been mismarried by its building structures, people's face values, weather, street life and the most, their extremely hospitality.
Live long, God Bless you both.

Hi Nadeem! Thank you for watching! We’ve loved our time in china so far, people are so friendly here!
Thx for your kind words to China!
love your videos jack，China is absolutely nice country,please make more video about China.love yall
I will for sure!
The 2 Backstreet Boys are absolutely wonderful people. Thanks for bringing us this fantastic video. The uncle who drank with you guys makes videos on Douyin which is the Chinese (original) version of TikTok. He said to you the best English cigarette is triple 5 State Express. The crunchy bean you ate is fried broad bean.
Hey guys, nice to see you have another video up, currently watching this now and at 10:00 minutes in, are you and Paige acting like you're holding onto a handrail LOL? Funny stuff! Your India and Pakistan vlogs were wicked and my partner and I love watching the videos. All the best on your travels and be safe ❤
Hahahaha we do it all the time, has us in stitches
I had to rewind to see if i saw what i thought i saw!!😂😂
Haha.. so funny. I too had to rewind to see it.
Hi Jack & Paige, we really enjoyed your video! And I was very positively surprised that you know the Chinese drinking etiquette of lowering your glass than the others’ by clinking! So did the two “dàye” in this video😄 I really appreciate the interest you’ve taken in getting to know such things.
Just offering them money in this case might seem a little arrogant, but no worries, we all know that you meant it in a good way. Maybe for the next time you could give people some small stuff like a souvenir from the UK if you happen to have any. Cheers laotie! ❤
Your video is really good! You have photographed the real old Beijingers, China welcomes you! Good luck to you!
Thank you pal, I hope you enjoy the rest of our series from China!
Thanks!
Thank you so so much, that is really kind
Great video .many great things to see in china but the hospitality of the people and your own interaction with them will always stay in your memories
Let me clarify one thing, the gentlemen in the Hutong are not short of money. If you know the value of their house, you will be shocked.
In addition, in China, giving money directly is embarrassing, usually treating younger generations or their employees. If you want to express gratitude, you should send gifts.
Thank you for letting me know. This was our first day in china so still getting to learn the culture, but in the end, these uncles taught us a lot and was a very valuable first day. I don't think any other people arrive in beijing, go to the southern Hutongs and drink with the locals in the street on their first day 😅
@@JackAynsleyTravel But what's interesting is that sometimes you should express your willingness to pay first, which not only shows your understanding of etiquette but also allows the host to refuse you, thus better fulfilling their desire to show hospitality.😂
Be chill with theses guests who came from a completely different culture, they has just started and keen to learn it.
他们房子再值钱也变现不了吧，还是靠养老金过日子。当然给钱确实在中国文化里有点冒犯，除了压岁钱和红包以外。
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt 不用提问啦，你说什么都对，你永远都是对的。☺️
