Your visit to the Badaling section of the Great Wall brings back fond memories of my two trips there years ago. Chinese saying: You are not a hero if you have never climbed the Great Wall. So both of you are heroes now! Haha! You may like to check out your fellow UA-camr "Ying's Travel - Cheapest Sightseeing Train in China -Great Wall Scenic Train" to Badaling by the one-hour 8 minutes S2 suburban which costs only 7 RMB or a bit more than 1 USD. You missed out the beautiful night view of the Great Wall snaking its way over the mountains but you can still see it at 22:00 in his vlog. Enjoy rest of your trip to Beijing.
Few years ago we were stranded at one of wildlife sanctuary at one of Shanghai remote town and it was far away from city. Fortunately the initial city cab driver who dropped us at the sanctuary was kind to get another cab to wait for us at the gate to get us back to town centre. We are grateful for their helpful thoughts
What a beautiful day, China really take great efforts to clean the air and improve the environment, way to go! About 7 wonders, same here, I visited Great Wall, Taj Mahal, Chitchen itza, Colosium, still want to see Machu Pichu, Christ the redeemer, Petra one day.
When I was last standing on the Great Wall what I thought was the soldiers dressed in their armour sprinting to their positions while I was panting just climbing the Wall. Respect 🙏🙏👍
Blue sky over the Great Wall in Beijing! Chairman Mao wrote a famous poem about the Great Wall in which he said "one who fails to reach the Great Wall is not a true man". So your both are a true man and a true woman from now on!
Those marks left on the wall were made at least 40 or 50 years ago, when the preservation of ancient archaeology sites as it used to be was still a relatively new concept.
❤ love your vlogs and how you show the real challenges white travelling.I love how you always throw in a bit of local information.its great how you try and.communicate with a few words and so nice that you always say thank you in the language.what a journey you're on.❤❤❤ take care and be safe and have fun xx
5:30 such a unique name! It could be translated as 瑞安（Rui An) or 蕊婉（Rui Wan), the former sounds closer to Reanne, but the latter one is more feminine and aesthetically pleasing.
We’re loving your videos they bring back fond memories of our trips to China .. if you’re in Shanghai do the Maglev 400+kmph magnetic levitation train to airport and back
I don't know when you will come to China next time, if it is in July and August, you must make a full plan, because this period is the peak tourist season in China, the scenic spots will be very crowded, and the weather in all parts of China is very hot at this time.On the list of Chinese cities that can be entered with a transit visa, cities with relatively pleasant temperatures in July and August are Kunming, Dalian, Qingdao, Harbin, Shenyang, Qinhuangdao.If you can get a tourist visa to China, there are many better places to choose. But July and August may not be the best time to visit China overall, with airfare and hotel costs dropping after the end of August, making it more cost-effective to visit China after that.If you come to China in September or October, it is best to avoid the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays.
Guys, if you are going to stay long in China, you should take the HSR to Xi’an, Chongqing and Chengdu. Not many from the west know much about Chengdu…. As if it is an ancient city but you see Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton there and much more. In Chengdu you should visit the few Giant Panda base (with Red Panda), Jiuzhaigou, Huang Long Scenic Area, Leshan Giant Buddha and Emei Mountain. Next you can go to Changsha where Zhangjiajie (Avatar Mountains) were there and later make you way to Huangshan. You will not regret for sure!
Ben, your guess was actually correct. The carving on the walls are just from tourists for the past maybe 30 years. They are new so they cannot be from thousands of years ago. As for the train tickets, the bullet trains or any fast speed trains, you can only buy the tickets online 15 days ahead. I would recommend to book the tickets about a few days earlier and if there is a big national holidays coming, they may need to book like 15 days ahead. Glad to see you two had your great experience at the Great Wall!👍
Reanne actually sounds quite like a Chinese name 瑞安, 芮安, or 睿安. 瑞安 is a neutral name for both males and females, meaning lucky, good fortune, peaceful, and safe. 芮安 is a name for females, meaning prosper, lively, peaceful, and safe. 睿安 is a sharp name, neutral but mostly used among males, meaning smart, thoughtful, peaceful, and safe.
love your video♥You could pronounce "Mixue" as "me sure" in Chinese. Full name for it is "Mi xue bing cheng", "mi" is sweet/honey, "xue" is snow, "bing" is ice, "cheng" is city. Hope you enjoy your travel in China♥
I think it's worth mentioning in your next video that in all Chinese "famous" scenic spots (which are mostly run by the government) you definitely don't need to worry about transporting yourself back to the city. Chinese are flexible enough to work something out especially for foreign visitors and it is actually the scenic spot's responsibility to ensure all visitors can go home in an orderly manner. It will never happen for someone to find himself stranded at a Chinese scenic spot. It just doesn't happen. Worst comes to worst you can call the police who should be able to help you out. So no sweat and just relax.
I've noticed that in that area of the great wall, there are not the small fortress along the wall that you can find in other areas, so is like a "plain" wall
Your Chinese name can be “蕾安”(lei an )or“瑞安”(rui an)，“蕾”means bud which is very common for girls name , “瑞”means good fortune and is commonly used for both boys and girls ,and the "安"means safe. Both are pretty good names i'd say, very traditional and with good meaning, just like what a Chinese parent would name their baby girl
That part of the wall was rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty about 500 years ago. The Ming chased the Mongols out of China and thought that it was a pretty good idea to try to keep them there.
One of the eight wonders of the world is also in China, that is, the Terra Cotta Warriors of the First Emperor of Qin in Xi'an. If you want to know about China's culture in 2000, you are suggested to visit Xi'an
Love your video. Your favorite Mixue could be pronounced as "me sure" in Chinese. Full name for Mixue is "mi xue bing cheng", "mi" is sweet, "xue" is snow, "bing" is ice, "cheng" is city. Hope you enjoy travel in China💜
I have watched a documentary long time ago, showing by satellite that part of the wall was buried under the ground, so the wall should be longer than it was measured in the old days. Just wonder if the buried part is included in the 2000+ km.
Reanne is pronounced similarly to "ree-AN," which is consistent with the Chinese name "瑞安" (Ruì'ān). Interestingly, there is a city named Ruian (瑞安) in Zhejiang Province, China.
5:30 Reanne，The spelling of Chinese names is"莉妮"，The meaning is a girl like jasmine, with a beautiful name Ben ，The spelling of Chinese names is "笨"，You know，This is a joke，The correct way of writing is“本”，Have fun 🎉😊😊😊
Do you still get annoyed by the cameras? I've watched several of these China series and I don't even notice the cameras anymore, they sort of blend into the background like in London.
One secret to increasing access and attention is to make subtitles in both Chinese and English and upload them on Bilibili or TikTok. Because China has a very large group of people who need to learn English. And people like to learn English and enjoy traveling and eating at the same time.😂
your dream come true and you lucky person can visit 7 wonder of the world great wall china,first time i watch and i fall in love watching your channel but hopefully get PIN 📌 from you
Many parts of the great wall was rebuilt in the Ming dynasty (from 1300s to 1644) to protect China from the Mongolia. The original wall was to against the Huns.
Reanne your name seems quite rare to me, but it's the same as snooker player Reanne Evans. Her first name is translated as 瑞安 by Chinese journalists. There is not really an official translation. I would argue 瑞妮 has a closer pronounciation.
The Great Wall is too long and has a long history. Some of it has been renovated, and carving names on the wall is a sign of low quality. There are always some Chinese people who like to carve names wherever they go, and most Chinese people dislike this behavior

在中国，你没必要担心在哪里会被困住，或出问题，如果有任何问题，第一时间找警察，他们会拿出很多时间帮助你们，中国警察的服务宗旨是：全心全意为人民服务❤
@fleshkotai 确实 你说得没错 只要说民警坏话得都会被国内全网批斗还会被抓，看清楚 这是外网 言论自由，你是被洗脑得可以得。那你自己打开抖音看看派出所公众号，为什么一个派出所出现到负面新闻 就回关闭评论区然后没后续？劳资爱国不爱党但尊重中国军人和消防员 缉毒警察 但劳资讨厌派出所民警 法律规得不允许么？
中国警察通常不会管的，

You should start a UA-cam channel 😂
even though i have been to Beijing so many times,but i haven't been to the Great wall 😅, it's so beautiful

Clean air 😂
@@Ultra-Violet are you blind?
Thanks for showing me the great wall of China and others scenic places in China.
You are welcome 🤗
Hey guys, I'm glad that you had fun a China, and Reanne's name in Chinese is 瑞妮❤
Thank you 😊
When I was last standing on the Great Wall what I thought was the soldiers dressed in their armour sprinting to their positions while I was panting just climbing the Wall. Respect 🙏🙏👍

不到长城非好汉 actually means if you have not gone to the Great Wall you are not a real great guy.
I've been to Beijing once, but it's nostalgic. Thank you for the video.
You are welcome. Where abouts are you from?
@@OTWD_yt Oh, actually, I was born in Shanghai and live in Japan.
Those marks left on the wall were made at least 40 or 50 years ago, when the preservation of ancient archaeology sites as it used to be was still a relatively new concept.
墙上那些是游客乱刻乱画的 现在法律规定那是破坏文物违法行为 发现以后要承担法律行为 中国古代确实有国家修建项目使用砖块 地砖等 工匠需要把修建者的名字刻上去 方便工程出问题 好追查责任人 是一种监督机制 现在在某一些地方还可以看到这样的砖头 留着当时修建者的名字
❤ love your vlogs and how you show the real challenges white travelling.I love how you always throw in a bit of local information.its great how you try and.communicate with a few words and so nice that you always say thank you in the language.what a journey you're on.❤❤❤ take care and be safe and have fun xx

5:30 such a unique name! It could be translated as 瑞安（Rui An) or 蕊婉（Rui Wan), the former sounds closer to Reanne, but the latter one is more feminine and aesthetically pleasing.
btw I don’t really recommend tourists carve their names or messages on walls or any cultural relics😂
Lovely video! The wall and weather looks fantastic! 💖
Thank you 😊 ❤️

You guys do the best and cheapest way to go to the Great Wall like locals
That’s what we do 😜
very easy and convenient to reach the great wall of China from urban area of Beijing, and also easy if you need to get back to downtown of Beijing.
Thanks for the tips! ❤️❤️❤️
支持你们🎉🎉

this is what normal travellers' experience would look like, explore the options, get on with it and enjoy the journey
Always 😆
love your video♥You could pronounce "Mixue" as "me sure" in Chinese. Full name for it is "Mi xue bing cheng", "mi" is sweet/honey, "xue" is snow, "bing" is ice, "cheng" is city. Hope you enjoy your travel in China♥
Thank you so much 😊
Wow! The great wall of China! ❤❤
The great wall people are visiting today was built during Ming dynasty, about 500 years ago.
We did the same...took the bus to get back to CBD. Love the Great Wall of China!
你们爬的这个是八达岭长城，是明朝建设的，距今500多年。长城最早起源于秦始皇时期，距今两千多年前，往后直至清朝的历朝历代都有不断继续新建，修缮，长城不同部分使用的材料，修建的坚固程度是不一样的。
Hi 👋 Your videos are next level! Loved them all! ✌️
Guys you will love Petra! If you can handle the heat go July less crowded
Oh not really lol. I’ve been to the Middle East in July it’s so hot 🥵

你说的对，国家经营的好处就是当游客发生意外的时候会不计成本的救助，反正是国家出钱，而不在自己工资卡里扣。
I thought they would have to sleep at the great wall overnight 😂
Mixue Ice Cream & Tea
Mi : Honey
Xue : Snow
great place to visit - I think this is part of Chinese history and cultures
Nice video! Subscribed ❤ (I laughed when you said a bottle of water 😂 Sorry, couldn’t help)
Haha 😂 we aim to please.
I first saw your video is in bilibili，your couples did very good videos， keep going！🎉
Thank you so much!!
It is quite funny hearing you pronouce Mi Xue as Mixu 😆. What these two words mean in Chinese is Hoeny and Snow.
❤ you guys have a great time was there about 5 years ago fantastic
Mutianyu doesn't have as many tour groups, so you should go to Mutianyu instead of Badaling.
Hello, renna,your name in China is 瑞安（祥瑞 - auspicious ，安宁、平安：Tranquility and peace）good luck means
Thank you 😊
I've noticed that in that area of the great wall, there are not the small fortress along the wall that you can find in other areas, so is like a "plain" wall
Reanne. Your Chinese name 雷安 Léi ān (google translated). Ben & Reanne, thank you for showing the true China to the world! 🙏🙏. Blessings!
这个名字对女生来说有点不太好听，也有叫’莉妮‘或者’瑞妮‘的
翻译成莉妮更像女孩子一点吧
Great wall Mutianyu would be less crowded than Badaling.
translation of your name could be 蕾安， which means flower bud and peace
Hi guys excellent videos very informative, couple of questions, whereabouts are you staying and where did you get your SIM card from. Thanks
长城是地球上最宏大的工程，虽然没有金字塔复杂，但是也从侧面反映出中国在古代遭受了多么严重的入侵，才使得中国人下了如此坚定的决心建造了长城，今天整个欧亚非大陆中国已经没有敌人，才把重心移动到海上，这就是中国海军逐渐强大的原因，不过中国的军事都是防御性的，而不是侵略性的，不会对任何国家造成伤害。
it's hot nowadays in beijing,be aware of heatstroke
Thank you 😊
Your Chinese name can be “蕾安”(lei an )or“瑞安”(rui an)，“蕾”means bud which is very common for girls name , “瑞”means good fortune and is commonly used for both boys and girls ,and the "安"means safe. Both are pretty good names i'd say, very traditional and with good meaning, just like what a Chinese parent would name their baby girl
Thank you so much ❤️
did you go back the same way you came？ There is a chute at the top of the mountain on the Great Wall for you to slide down.😮
Really? No we went the other way 😂
really enjoying your videos.
Thank you 😊
Reanne in Chinese pronouciation is 莉妮.
Thank you 😊
that brick that Ben touched actually translated as some guy called ''Taz Woz Ere First!'' have absolutely no idea what the hell that means though
Reanee in Chinese can be "瑞丽“ which is a city in Yunnan province. it's very beautiful city.
Thank you I feel like we should see it.
祝你们玩的愉快
Chinese food are extremely healthy and delicious. According to me ......
Easier to get to Badaling Great Wall now. There are also HSR and Metro!
Amazing ❤️
That part of the wall was rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty about 500 years ago. The Ming chased the Mongols out of China and thought that it was a pretty good idea to try to keep them there.
始建于北魏，公元446年，明代重建。

Thanks for creating and sharing this beautiful video clip. Enjoy your trip! All the best to both of uou. Cheers! 🍻

Lovely British accent
😊😊
05:29 Reanne = 瑞安(rui an), Ben = 本(ben).
And to Ben: Yes, those carvings on the bricks were done by tourists😅
I have watched a documentary long time ago, showing by satellite that part of the wall was buried under the ground, so the wall should be longer than it was measured in the old days. Just wonder if the buried part is included in the 2000+ km.

I would like to give Reanne a Chinese name. Rui Ern. Like it?
Do you still get annoyed by the cameras? I've watched several of these China series and I don't even notice the cameras anymore, they sort of blend into the background like in London.
No we don’t even notice them to be honest
That's great.😊
I was there two days ago
One secret to increasing access and attention is to make subtitles in both Chinese and English and upload them on Bilibili or TikTok. Because China has a very large group of people who need to learn English. And people like to learn English and enjoy traveling and eating at the same time.😂
There is English and Chinese subtitles on this video
How is Ben's hair coming along
3:06 so it’s true how this is said in UK 😂 “a bottle of water”
Bo’el of wa’aer is the correct pronunciation

What about this, REANNE 麗安？ I think it's a beautiful name, 麗 means pretty, beautiful, 安 means safety, steady.

Hi 瑞安妮.
中国欢迎你们，来体验那些完全不同于之前听说过的地方，这里没有CNN.BBC里面的灰暗阴沉，有的是壮观、和谐、伟大和友善
Badaling is overcrowded, Mutianyu has less tourist.
Next time 👍❤️
