Beijing Visa-Free (Part 1)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- 30. October - 2. November 2023. China (中国 / Zhōngguó). Beijing (北京 / Běijīng).
While flying from Seoul to Frankfurt, we enjoyed an extended 6-night layover in Beijing, thanks to China's visa-free transit program. Yup. Many passports are eligible for quite a few cities in China, so long as your visit is considered a layover (no more than 6 nights).
Anyway, here's our example of how to spend a layover in Beijing, complete with lots of Chinese food.
Part 1:
Great Wall of China - Mutianyu (慕田峪 / Mùtiányù)
Silk Street (秀水街 / Xiùshuǐ Jiē)
798 Art Zone (798艺术区 / 798 Yìshùqū)
North Korean Restaurant
Summer Palace (颐和园 / Yíhéyuán)
Tiananmen Square
Forbidden City (紫禁城 / zǐ jìn chéng)
Wangfujing (王府井) Shopping Street

TIL about "wumao," thanks to one of the comments below. Ever heard of them? Me neither. Apparently, it's a real thing: a "50 Cent Army" of Chinese internet commenters, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, paid by the authorities of the People's Republic of China to spread propaganda. And, after reading the alleged marching orders of the wumao, some comments now make sense. (I'll try to stop deleting them, for elucidation.)
From Wikipedia:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
According to an article published by Xiao Qiang on his website China Digital Times, a leaked propaganda directive, sent to 50 Cent Party internet commenters, states:
(1) To the extent possible make America the target of criticism. Play down the existence of Taiwan.
(2) Do not directly confront [the idea of] democracy; rather, frame the argument in terms of "what kind of system can truly implement democracy.”
(3) To the extent possible, choose various examples in Western countries of violence and unreasonable circumstances to explain how democracy is not well-suited to capitalism.
(4) Use America's and other countries' interference in international affairs to explain how Western democracy is actually an invasion of other countries and [how the West] is forcibly pushing [on other countries] Western values.
(5) Use the bloody and tear-stained history of a [once] weak people [i.e., China] to stir up pro-Party and patriotic emotions.
(6) Increase the exposure that positive developments inside China receive; further accommodate the work of maintaining [social] stability.
Wikipedia.....oh well 100% facts then!!! The whole "wumao" thing, while true, is of course wildly exaggerated, it's a way for the China haters to ignore the varying opinions of Chinese citizens........anything contradicting their "Chinaman bad" narrative, can be attributed them being paid operatives of the Chinese government. Because, of course, Chinese people can't possibly have opinions of their own.....they are all brainwashed or are operatives of the government. But go see the street interviews of the "Asian Boss(from Korea)" chanel, and you will see how well informed the average middle class Chinese people are about the West.
too much politics throughout the video. Otherwise, it would have been an ejoyable vlog.
@anglohan5428Free your own ass first😂😂
@anglohan5428I heard that your brothers are sleeping on the streets in England because they have no work or money. Haha, British dad are so good to you haha😂😂😂
@anglohan5428 The practice of speaking of the actions of a few conscienceless rogue merchants as if they were all is an evil trick of dirty two-faced people like you. America has a lot of shooters, homeless people, and drug dealers. So are all Americans dangerous? Even if there are a lot of thieves in the UK, do all Britons have bad hand habits? Do Westerners who eat genetically modified foods, sausages made with chunks of chemicals, and food fried in dirty oil recycled thousands of times from McDonald's or KFC live longer than Chinese people??
Shouldn't get any politic when enjoying your trip
@anglohan5428 Say what you want about Chinese communists, but before them half of people there lived in miserable poverty, illiteracy, having just a handful of rice a day. With all its flaws they transformed it into the one of the most powerful countries in the world.
China is a friendly country with a vast territory and abundant resources.
Welcome to China..wish you and family enjoy your holidays in China
To facilitate foreign travel, some areas in China have opened 144-hour visa-free transit
China is a country with an ancient civilization having long history for 5000 years
Or you are never more than two seconds away from....... a hairdresser.
Haha, once you step out of Beijing, you will miss all the policeman, they are hardly found in other city.
Next layover in China looks to be Shanghai
Go back to your own country! China does not welcome you shit!
Welcome to China. The latest news: China is trialling visa-free travel for citizens from France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia for a year, its foreign ministry said. From December to 30 November 2024, ordinary passport holders from these countries can do business or travel in China without a visa for up to 15 days.

@@KingKong-uf3xq, my favorite food to spy on is peking duck. do you recommend any other great foods i can spy on? perhaps get me into a kitchen?
Don’t understand why youtube aka American app censoring and deleting my comment whenever I tells the truth about US atrocities to the world.
@@FastEddieDice Oh, but he is nice, this guy Ben Young. I don't see any fake news in his comment. Is there anything not true in his post? That can be easily fact-checked. And, he might be working in tourism, advertising his businesses. It's a good thing China has opened up towards capitalism.
@@boxing.-jr9up ben's comment looks good to me!
there are more things to go to in China then NK place in China> why don't you instead go to NK to visit. You sound sooo bitter in China.
not aware of any bitterness; there is only a slight annoyance, as i mentioned in the video, over having to revisit every tourist site on this third trip to beijing - similar to what i feel every time i visit the sistine chapel when i show up to rome with someone who hasn't been. regarding DPRK, it's a most memorable experience and would recommend it to everyone who can enter. haven't gotten around to editing the north korea trip other than this "part 1." ua-cam.com/video/360Aq960-ao/v-deo.htmlsi=bxCF4iuCTa1XjkO5

Oh, about original Chinese merchandise or any kind of wares you had purchased in Beijing, almost everything, from high-quality silk, to edible delicacies like Chinese brine, snacks, nuts, pastries, condiments etc., even home goods, can be found at Chinatown Blok 70 Kinezi in Belgrade (NBG municipality) 😊 So, one needn't necessarily go all the way to China for daily groceries 😋😂
Yeah been to Blok 70 a bunch of times. Never found the 4-faced Buddha there though, so had to bring several of them back to Serbia
@@FastEddieDice And you actually need as many as several 4-faced Buddha?! What an enthusiast! 😊 😚💋 PS. A brand-new and modern Chinese shopping mall is about to be opened very soon, in Blok 61.
Finally!
welcome to China
你在这里热情欢迎一个内心极度反华反共的白种SB，我看你是脑子进水了
Are you welcoming anti-Chinese elements from a group of pirates full of prejudice??
your Asian videos are your best videos!
Free Taiwan from Tsai Ing-wen, the president who faked having a PhD. @anglohan5428
China is a country with a long history of 5000 years. It is a civilized country without wars. Traveling here is very safe
Visa-free travel to China encourages foreign friends to come to China to experience Chinese culture and food. Contribute to national exchanges.
The continuous optimization and improvement of the transit visa-free policy continues to attract more foreign tourists to travel to China
The visa free transit policy is a major initiative of the Chinese government
If you jay walked crossing the road anywhere in the world, then God helps you.
@anglohan5428 Thanks for using a name that exposes what you are. 🥰
@anglohan5428Free the person who gives birth to you. Life would have been better for you if you stayed in hell.

😂😂the driver thing is😂😂it's not the norm, it's small probability severe events that can happen in any country which is cruel and intolerable everywhere. I don't think rare villains can represent a country anywhere. Plus, compensation on traffic accidents are measured by laws and if it is really like what u heard, it would be murder on purpose and the driver would likely to get death sentence in the end. No normal ppl would do that. China is a law-governing society, no need to worry those exaggerating rumors honestly. After all, indulging such outrageous crimes has no good for any country 🤷♀️
You tell the truth of AT&T plan, I bought an iPhone in Hong Kong, even cheaper than China and you have SIM card.
Even better than one SIM = 2 SIMS on the Beijing iPhones
@anglohan5428 go away!
Is the pollution truly bad now? I was last there with a group from the UK in 2019 and it was quite clear. I remember sunny blue skies at the Summer Palace and the Great Wall. Want to take advantage of this 144 hour layover enroute to Australia but will give it a miss if the air is bad. My lungs cannot handle it as I age. Looking forward to your advice. Thanks.
It was noticeable 2 days out of 6. But much improved since my first visits beginning 2012
Great to know. Thanks. @@FastEddieDice
If hell were a tourist sight, it would be the Forbidden City.
Hahahaha this got me laughing in Mandarin...
the heaven would be the West with homelessness and druggies are the beautiful sites to behold.
@@allowedme C'mon you got to admit that was a good one. Imagine Nancy Pelosi goes to hell and finds out...
U chose accident or murder
The driver roll back part is shockingly true. I was terrified too when I heard they rolled over live people to make sure they are completely dead.
Checked it on Snopes, and they say it’s not verified, but then go on to confirm “Xinhua News Agency has reported that in the PRC, there is a four-to-one ratio of traffic accidents resulting in injury versus traffic accidents resulting in death. In the United States, the ratio is approximately 70 to 1.”
@@FastEddieDice Traffic accidents is including car crash, I have no idea where such high death ratio is coming from.

What motivated you to Visit China, such a dangerous country of which you are already aware?
Yes, China is very dangerous country, gun violence deaths daily. @@guoshengqu3597
Is that your daughter or your girlfriend?
grandchild. great question!
@@FastEddieDice Wow so you woke up from the same bed as your grandchild, who is not at an infantile age. Reeks a little of pedo to be honest. Might be statutory rape even if it was voluntary if she was under 18 ^^
