Great video! You made it to Zhujiajiao finally. I was thinking of recommending this place but worried that you might not have enough time for your 144 hour visas. Next time you visit China you may want to visit West Lake in Hangzhou (50 mins away from Shanghai on HSR), which is more beautiful.

You can actually visit the two nearby provinces, namely Jiangsu and Zhejiang with your 144-hr transition visa. Great cities, including Hangzhou, Nanjing, and Suzhou, are all in these two provinces.
I'm so blessed to see this interesting ancient town, Zhujiajiao, which is known as the Venice of Shanghai on your video. Truly appreciate you both capturing those breathakingly beautiful footages....love those amazing old buildings. Yeah, those bread twisters are super yummy, a good snack indeed. Aaah...great you both like that Chinese sticky rice dumpling which is called "Zongzi". It's wrapped in bamboo leaf. That old man on the bridge is playing a very famous Chinese song, titled "Shanghai Bund" with his "erhu", a traditional Chinese musical instrument. Another fantastic video with great content. Thanks a bunch for this awesome China series, Steve lvana.
Zhongi is not dumpling at all. the closest to it is Tamale in Mexico. watercress is called western vegetable to identify it's from elsewhere. Erhu, the 'hu' identified it is from the near east.
The crispy fried bread thing you gave 6 stars for is called 麻花, and the flavor is 葱香 (as mentioned by the lady when you asked). you can find them in packages here in Vancouver, so I bet you should have them in Toronto as well... though I doubt it would taste the same as the fresh ones...

@5:15 Lovely that you mentioned the Qing dynasty! Can't resist sharing some bits of Chinese history: Ever since the very first Qin 秦 (without a G) imperial dynasty's founding in 221BCE, the Chinese dynasties continued one after the other, for over a 2000 year period. Sometimes minor dynasties co-existed with the major one of the time, but whenever one fell, China would always be re-constituted by another -- ever-continuing. The last one as you mentioned, was the Qing 清 (with a G). Ending with a transition to a modern-style government in 1912, thus ending over 2000 years of the dynastic tradition, but also marking a new chapter for the civilization. Of course, if one considers the Zhou 周 dynasty, that takes you back to 1045 BCE, and if the Shang 商 before that, 1600 BCE. And if the earliest as per the Chinese historiographical tradition, but contended among historians, the Xia 夏 preceded the Shang.
There are several similarly beautiful ancient water towns near Shanghai...Tongli, ZhouZhuang, Nanxun, Xitang, WuZhen. While not water towns, nearby Suzhou and Hangzhou are 2 great day or weekend trip locations a short distance away from Shanghai by high speed rail
China is very big from east to west and from south to north have their own culture , dialects, foods and environment difference, I bet you need years to explore , hope you guy can come to Dali (Kunming province), Chungqing, they different vibe.
Foreign friends who want to see the larger and more beautiful water towns in the south of the Yangtze River can try to go to Wuzhen. They will not be disappointed.
17:40 The 144-hour transit visa is valid to Shanghai and two neighboring provinces, Zhejiang and Jiangsu which have much more similar touristy water towns.
Lived in Shanghai for 10 years and China is amazing. Maybe explore Chengdu surrounds for great food and scenery. Otherwise Hangzhou and Suzhou have lots more cultural attractions plus easily accessible from Shanghai.
The guy who plays erhu he plays the theme song from TV Drama called Shanghai Bund a very famous drama in 80s starred by Chow Yun Fat..famous actor from Hongkong 👍
There are a lot of this kind of "watertown" in Jiangsu province nest to Shanghai. Actually this Is kinda unique style of our "areas South of the yangtze river".
another awesome video! zhujiajiao is the closest ancient water town near shanghai, it's so picturesque and vibrant. i used to go there when i was living in shanghai.
My, how did uou understand 10 Yuan? The girl showed a gesture that resembles Chinese character 10. I almost missed how amazing it was because it's natural for us to recognize the meaning, since we write it that way. Then I realized that you very likely don't know how to write Chinese. Simply amazing comprehension skill!
Sticky rice in bamboo leave - zong zi (there is special date for it on lunar fifth day of fifth month, remembering Qu Yuan) Musical instrument -er hu and the song he played is famous OST of TVB drama The Bund or in mandarin called as Shanghai Tan (revolving republican era of Shanghai and starred famous Chow Yun Fatt).
Loved this one as well. Actually I have been there in August of this year. But dont recall seeing those places and food. Consequently, I believe I will have to be back there 😂
2:53 you asked the name, the girl told you the flavor(葱香 Congxiang means onion flavor).🤣 actually, it is called 油赞子(You Zanzi), a famous Ningbo snack. imo it is not that different from 麻花(Mahua) within some seaweed flavor.
Suzhou (30mins bullet train from SH), Hangzhou, and Nanjing are THE actual cultural centers in the region, Zhujiajiao’s claim is pretty far-fetched because it won’t even make it into the top 10 old towns in China. Shanghai only became a thing 200 years ago, and its predecessor Songjiang is still significantly outshined by the big 3. So Shanghai is perfect for late 19-early 20th century western colonial architectures and modern neon lights and skyscrapers, but don’t try to seek too much ancient history there.
The Qing Dynasty was the final dynasty in China, and if you watched the movie "The Last Emperor", it features the boy emperor Puyi who became emperor at the age of 2 and abdicated the throne in 1912 at the age of 6... he was the last emperor of China.
You can try some bulk street food before you decide whether to buy it or not. Say can I have a taste? Say Hanyu Pinyin "wo ke yi chang yi xia ma? ” “我可以尝一下吗"
From the clothes and weather that people wear, I guess that this should be 10 days ago, because in the past week, it was very cold, very cold, very cold, and very cold.
Great video. Bad for my budget. Getting a shore excursion there in a couple of weeks and absolutely fell in love with the ocarina. Don't suppose you remember any ideas about the location? When I went to Buenos Aires, I had to get a pinguino and now I want an ocarina. :) Many thanks!
If you like the ancient feel, visit Hangzhou. Hangzhou was the capital of NanSong Dynasty, dated back to 13th century. Or visit Xi-An (pronounced as see -un) , capital of 13 dynasties, dated back to 220 bc.
yeah, I have to roll my eyes when I hear all these self-assumed introductions of the things they saw. It's good to show exotic stuff, but it's bad to keep giving wrong information.
Cmon, u learnt to like durian. Stinky tofu is easier n its cheaper n healthier. Many msian pasar malam have it n recently d pasar malam near my place in Singapore. Since tasty yoghurt is now considered unhealthy ( upf) i prefer stinky tofu to natural yoghurt. Its not too late if u left china. Taiwan has pretty good ones too.

Believe me. SuZhou, half hour HSR from Shanghai, is much better if you are going to seek ancient water village.
