  • First Impressions of SHANGHAI, CHINA! Travel Vlog
    I'm in China! In this video, I'm exploring the modern megacity of Shanghai during Chinese New Year 2024. I'll share my experience as a solo American traveler in Shanghai, explore different neighborhoods in the city (People's Square, former French Concession, Yu Garden, The Bund), and eat lots of incredible food!

      At the noodle and fried pork, you poured the soup into the noodle, which I think is a wrong move. Cuz that noodle is called scallion and oil Lao main, you don’t need the soup to be in there, the noodle is supposed to served with the soy sauce and other ingredients underneath it, if you pour the soup into it, the soup will dilute the flavor of the noodle. Just a little heads up here.

      Fantastic video! Just a quick observation, in China, everything is digitalized now. There are Chinese apps and miniprograms for everything! There are reviews available for virtually everything too (reliable and unreliable ones same as in Google). Unlike our Western countries, China has developed its own ecosystem of apps by displacing the American tech monopolies (nobody banned them, they refused to comply with the local laws and left for good). If you check the few countries that have their own alternatives to the major tech giants like META, Google, and Microsoft, they are all labeled as "the axis of evil" but the reality is that they just pushed for their own independence and refused to bow down to these American monopolies to build their own. You saw the facts about China in person now, I'm glad more people can see it by visiting this beautiful country. Cheers from Shanghai!

    I just came back from China. What’s so great about China other than the infrastructure, safety, modernity, and efficiency is the small alleys where you can find mom and pop stores selling very delicious and inexpensive foods. Chinese alleys are very clean and safe. I love to stay in high end hotels but eat and walk around alleys. The people in the alleys are also very friendly.

China has a lot of folk music, Korea doesn't. Pop music has no vitality, but folk music can be passed down for thousands of years. Listen to Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

    I have lived in the USA for 40 yrs and I plan to retire in Zhong Shan or Sanxiang. These two cities are among the nine cities in the Greater Bay Area in Southern China. I will not need to drive while living there and cost of living is so much lower while the standard of living is also high. I can find delicious and affordable foods, and can ride the local bus for free since I am over 60. Didi or Lyft/Uber are soooo cheap too. the cities are clean and safe. Above all, the local people in Zhong Shan are very nice, helpful and friendly.

Even if it is positive, they twist it to make it seem negative (you'll often see the headlines "but at what cost?!". Of course there is no perfect country in the world, but I initially became suspicious when it was a very one sided reports on China. Consequently, most people in Australia fear or hate China, and there are racist attacks on Asians.

      Yes. You are right. TikTok put the servers in US to comply with US data security and privacy rules and regulations otherwise TikTok is not allowed in US. Google, Facebook, Instagram, etc did not do the same for complaint with China rules and regulations so they withdrew from China market. However, western media and politicians, such as US ambassador in Beijing, will always purposely accuse (smear) China banned them which is not true. It’s very unprofessional for a person like ambassador to tell lies in front of media (Bloomberg) but then it’s US politician way to do it publicly and shamelessly .

    I guessed you are not aware that apps such as Google, Facebook, UA-cam etc are not banned in China but because these operators refused to adhere to Chinese laws and regulations, they can't or decided not to operate in China.
