It is so nice to see you two having your eyes opened to the beauty, safety and ease of getting around in China. I'm back in China again, after having taught English in Hunan and Guangdong provinces 2010-2016. Seeing what's going on in the west these days, I say, no thanks, I'll stay in China. There is no real perfection on earth, but currently, overall, China is so so civilized and safe.
@@novhan9975 catch this bone, this is your one week food. be careful your tent, don't go too far while you looking for food from transh cans, just close to the trash cans, otherwise, you have to steal another tent
Let me paint a picture here. China was 5th poorest nation on earth 3-4 decades ago, while the West has been really developed. Fast forward to current time, China has become what China is now in only 30-40 years while the West have stagnated. Give all the reasons the governments in the West want to suppress the fact that a country can advance fast if the government do whatever they supposed to do. Not sending taxpayers money to incite or fund wars.
China is a harbinger for these Western Countries electing these right wing Governments looking to close off borders and especially the USA China spent the better part of a millennia trading places with what is now called India for top economy in the world By the 1430s it was the top economy and technological leader in the world . But their emperor at the time started the slow process of closing in on itself closing off its borders/a type of nationalism Like we are seeing with far right Governments and the Americans these days This lead to 400 years of decline and then an eventual semi colonization of China for 100 more years Where even up to the 1980s China was 88% in abject poverty These days they are back and they did not run up the external debt many of our western Governments and like the Americans are running up these days
@nickey477 Agree. Without first 30 years, it is impossible to build he whole industry. Chinese worked very hard to build a solid foundment in the first 30 years since 1949.
I am from Taiwan, and China, my motherland is the place I long for for quite a long time. I am currently living in the US and I hope I can be like you guys traveling around the world someday and especially China to visit where my parents were born. Best wishes to both of you. Have a wonderful journey.
No beggers....No druggies...all place fill with flowers.....what a beautiful city....meanwhile think about Amerikan cities....and think about western lies...Long live Grate China...❤❤❤❤
Yeah they are the opposite where they take care of their cities but their countryside is extremely poor and neglected. China is only nice in its major cities.
I am Thai, I just came back from China GuangZhou, I love it and I will go there again. if you have time please try the High Speed train, very convenience and very fast, thanks
It is indeed a very beautiful city .. it’s quiet because of China using all means of transport by electric cars etc .. China meant to cut pollution and used renewable energy and eco friendly for better environment..
all the relaxing feeling, the well organization, the cleaness and quietness of the city, is just common ALL AROUND China. It`s not just Chengdu that is special, it`s really common and usual.
I visited Shanghai last year. I was amazed too at the relative silence when I could see so many cars, motorbikes and bicycles on the road. Yet, it didn't feel stressed-out. I had a sudden realization - it's not the jams and the amount of traffic on the road that makes us feel stressed; it's the noise.
The investment by the Chinese government into infrastructure and modernisation efforts really paid off. It's not surprising that the rest of the world wants to work with China. The exploitative and chaotic US style government simply doesn't work elsewhere.
Speaking of preserving historical sites and architecture, the Brits & French expeditionary forces pillaged and burnt down the Old Summer Palace (Yuan mingYuan) in 1860, which was a fusion of Western & Eastern architecture. It was 3 times the size of Versailles, took 3 generations of emperors to build, but destroyed thoroughly in 3 days. Also, the reason why not a lot of Caucasian tourist is because the Western Media feeds fear-mongering propaganda to its citizens, to discouraged them from visiting China. Recently, the US advise against its citizen from visiting Xinjiang because they know once people start checking it out for themselves, all the lies and mainstream narrative will be dispelled. These are the same news organization that fed the people lies about the WMD in Iraq or the Gulf of Tonkin incident in Vietnam.
I am from Taiwan and I can't wait to see my province Taiwan return to my motherland China as soon as possible. Once we are unified, we are sure be even stronger in all sectors.
The sooner you can get a majority to support serious negotiations between Taipei authorities and the Beijing government the better it will be for China and for our region.
Hi！ here’s your new subscriber from Hong Kong China! I just want to comment that the reason why the lady who helped you guys in the last video at the Chengdu airport said Ailpay can’t work is she was thinking of the TRAFFIC QRCODE inside the Ailpay,you can scan that code when get in the metro gate,and scan it again when you get off at any gate on Chengdu metro map, the system will calculate the price automatically and you don’t need buy a ticket from the machine,(she thought you guys don’t have the code),generally that’s more convenient and environmental-friendly!Hope you enjoy your trip on Chengdu metro !
It’s so amazing how clean this place is. No graffiti and not a spec of garbage on the ground. People are so friendly and respectful. The vendor booths are so organized !! I’m planning my summer vacation right now and must include China. I want to visit Chengdu obviously and will include Xinjiang. I want to see Xinjiang for myself.
Plan your trip very carefully, Xinjiang is HUGE and Urumqi does ONLY represent a tiny bit of Xinjiang. However, the other regions of Xinjiang does not have good enough English-based-infrastructure, so it might be tough for foreigners (some of the elder people don’t even speak mandarin the language barrier is huge even with translating apps), you might wanna check out travel agencies for that. BTW, if you wanna visit Tibet, it is mandatory for foreigners to apply for a permit and join a tourist group but Tibet only, all the other regions are free to travel, well I’m not saying Tibet is not free but restrictions are restrictions lol. Because China is a huge country, it is NOT recommended to travel all the major cities in 2 weeks. If your country is included in those 15-day visa-free countries, I do recommend planning a trip within 1 or 2 provinces, that should give you a decent summer experience. Oh even though ChongQing is only 75 minutes HSR away from Chengdu, I wouldn’t recommend you visiting my hometown during summer, it’s not gonna be summer but a steamer lol😂😂😂
@@Alex_k_Q Thank you for your advice. My family have been to various parts of Xinjiang before. It will be my first time. We have friends & relatives living in Xinjiang who can guide us. Thank you very much.
@@刘道亨 Thank you so much. I’ve travelled to a number of cities in China during the past 15 years and I absolutely love it. Every city is clean & safe. The local people are extremely friendly and helpful. And the variety of foods are so delicious. I usually eat 6 meals a day while in China and snack in between. I’ve made many friends in China over the years and they teach me a lot about the culture and customs. I LOVE China !
@@Sayitlikeitis-jn6xe You just need to believe in what you see and hear, don't be blinded by bad media, and you can discover the other side of the world's beauty. I hope you have a beautiful day. A netizen from Guangdong, China
My spouse and I, hello from Taiwan, recently embarked on our inaugural journey to ChengDu a few weeks back, and our encounter and perception mirror yours precisely. The city boasts cleanliness and a refreshing atmosphere owing to the prevalence of electric vehicles, while the populace predominantly opts for the Metro, rendering commuting both accessible and convenient. Traveling feels secure with the visible presence of law enforcement and security personnel in public spaces. The locals exhibit warmth and amiability, evidently relishing their lives. Cherish the remainder of your ChengDu expedition. Rest assured, we eagerly anticipate revisiting ChengDu in the foreseeable future.
you guys can go to chongqing as well, that is a amazing city. Actually, 2nd or 3rd line city of China will bring you different experience. In China, not only Bejing, shanghai, HK. Happy that your guys bring the true China to everyone. China has misleading report by the western media for long.
The Xizang Autonomous Region, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Qinghai Province and Gansu Province are remote areas in China. Although the economy is underdeveloped, you can experience beautiful natural scenery, which is very, very beautiful, not ordinary. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen are major cities in China, where you can feel the charm of modern cities. But I would recommend some second tier cities in China (Dalian, Qingdao, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Tianjin, Wuhan, Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing, Xiamen, Nanjing, Xi'an). These cities have a profound historical background and each has its own characteristics. For example, in Xi'an, you can witness a lot of history, even historical sites from over 2000 years ago; In Hangzhou and Suzhou, one can appreciate the charm of Chinese classical architecture; In Chongqing and Chengdu, you can enjoy a slow paced life, and hot pot is a specialty here. Of course, there are many beautiful cities in China that are particularly suitable for tourism, such as Guilin, Zhangjiajie, Kunming, Yangzhou I can't count anymore. You will be very safe here, please make sure to enjoy your journey. Blessings from China❤
This is outdated information. Xizhang and Xinjiang have received insane amount of development efforts and tens of billions Usd funding in recent years.
In China, green license plates are for electric cars and blue plates are for fuel cars. Apparently in your video there are a lot of electric cars on the streets of Chengdu and the popularity is very high. Some viewers have uploaded your video to a Chinese video website called BiliBili, which is the largest video website used by young people in China, and your video has already accumulated 1.12 million views. So you guys could upload your videos to BiliBili, there will be a lot of people who will like them. Thank you for sharing your travel process in China, I hope you enjoy every city in China, they are really unique. Wish you guys have a great time.
I am a Chinese Canadian who lived in Dublin for almost 8 years. Thank you for showing the world what my home country is really like, keep up the good and honest work. Make sure you try hot pot for a meal, Chengdu is well-known for its hot pots. They taste fantastic and are affordable too! Oh, by the way, almost every city in China is like Chengdu, just different in sizes...
Ha, actually cities are quite different. Chengdu is kind of laidabck city and ShenZhen is hustle and bustle city. Cousines are quite different. I love Chengdu spicy food
@@刘道亨 Yes, officially there are 56 groups, and I am a Manchu or Manchurian, not sure which is the correct term. What I meant is that most cities look rather similar, clean subways, clean streets, friendly people and carefully planned layouts. I love every bit of my home country by all means, please don't get me wrong on that fact.😁
More Than 5000years history…. Such an ancient country behind its history, it is magnificent culture heritage. I don’t think many sort of young countries can understand China…. People living on this land experienced and suffered a lot. They are dedicated and pragmatic. While nothing is flawless, still impressed by this ancient country.
You are right about how laid back the city is. In fact, this region (Sichuan province) is known for its slow pace leisure lifestyle, Sichuan people are very interesting too, they seems less hardworking and not very serious, but in times of need they can turn themselves into brave and ferocious fighters like how they sacrificed during Japanese invasion, 1 out of 5 soldiers were from the region.
As the region of origin of panda, I'm not sure if panda lifestyle influence the people or the other way around. Slow paced life, relax, and just enjoy life as it coming. 😄😄
@anglohan5428 Those places were all freed from Western evil empires already. the only thing that needs to be free is your head. FREE YOUR HEAD FROM YOUR ARSE (mission impossible)
China's cities have clean air now. None of their cities are listed in the top 20 most polluted cities. The most polluted cities are in India now. EVs , solar, wind and hydro power as well cleaner factories all contribute to the result.
@@moovitalong if you want free smoke , China is not the place . Go to india is the best ,110% guaranteed free smoke with compliments from india world's highest pollution rated smog cities like mumbai , delhi etc.
@@moovitalong Most of those air pulluted Chinese cities are based on mineral development industry, especially coal mine, that's the main reason. BUT, 99% Chinese cities are clean on the street, no matter big or small ones.
Love this travel channel. Thank you for your work on showing China as it is. This helps us a lot when planning to travel to China next year. Very insightful and educational. Thank you.
I went to a school in Hong Kong (60 years ago) run by the Jesuits and and half (probably more than) of the teaching staff were Irish priests, all highly educated, and so your accent evoked fond memories. I went to Chengdu twice last year within 2 months en route to Ermei Shan 峨嵋山 and Jiuzhaigou 九寨溝。 You love nature and these 2 places should be on your list, especially, especially Jiuzhaigou.
After visiting a few cities in China, I would recommend you guys to visit those mountainous attractions like Zhangjiajie, stay for at least 3 days there and at the vicinity of Zhangjiajie, go "Tianmen" (Heaven's Gate in English) and different angles of Zhangjiajie. Bring along some light snacks and water just in case you need to refill your energy, that mountainous landscape scenery feels like where God and angels live, you will love it if you are a nature guy.
@@alvinliao09 But be mentally prepared. The area has been occupied by South Koreans. Although they also have Asian faces, their behavior is completely different from that of Chinese people. Do not think that they are Chinese.
Have a wonderful trip! I haven’t seen any foreign vlogger visiting the San Xing Dui museum, which is a mind-blowing site even for Chinese! I strongly suggest that the two of you make a trip there. It’s just an hour’s drive but will make your Chengdu series truly special, imo.
I am a Chinese who has lived in Chengdu for over 30 years and I love it. Every foreigner who comes to China is overwhelmingly mesmerized by the modern cities (buildings, roads, traffic, payment methods, etc.), but the beauty of China is the thousands of years of culture, the magnificent natural scenery, the harmonious multi-ethnic relations, and the obsessive food. Get away from the metropolis and explore the more beautiful nature. Great scenery around Chengdu: Dujiangyan, Mount Qingcheng, Sanxingdui, Leshan Giant Buddha, Mount Emei, Jiuzhaigou ......❤
Chengdu is one of the most relaxed and easy going among the large cities and has many beautiful old towns and mountain monasteries to visit nearby. It's a great place to spend a few days
Was there last year October, stayed there for a month and visited five different cities from top tier to bottom. There is no filth anywhere nor any pollution and every city there offers something unique on their own.
yes,In Chinese mythology, the Kylin (Qilin) is a mythica creature that is said to appear at the arrival of a sage or ruler. It has a single horn on its head and its body is covered in scales and its mane
I am literally crying right now , not sure if you can get how I feel right now. I am from Qingdao, China but live in US right now. Thank you so much for telling the world how good China is. I am really appreciative it. Welcome and have fun in China!
Comparing to other Chinese cities, Chengdu has a very long period of continuous development without big wars or disturbances due to its special landscape. Moreover, it’s humid, warm weather and wide, fertile soil has made it rich from Han dynasty, so it’s generally regarded as one of the richest area in entire China and the richest in the west. I believe that’s why it could accumulate such a globally influential food culture.
_"Chengdu has a very long period of continuous development without big wars"_ *MEANING: the japanese GENOCIDAL INVADERS and the Chinese Civil War never made it to Chengdu.*
@anglohan5428 Have you taken your delusion medication yet today? I am a Hongkonger, I have all the freedom living in this city. What does HK need to be free from? Free from crazy people like you?
About 20 years ago, there were many terrorist attacks in China and many people were killed and injured. Since then, the government began to set up a fixed police box in a lot of places, such as railway stations, famous scenic spots, etc., and then configure some police cars to patrol the streets, which can timely deal with emergencies in any corner of the city, so you can feel that it is very safe on the street.
You're confusing the audience! According to my friend's personal experience, the terrorist attacks that occurred that year were triggered by terrorist organizations supported by the United States! It's organized and premeditated! It's not the same thing as daily safety in China!
Hello from Dublin, I think you guys should check out some Chinese EVs if you guys are interested, because most of the Chinese brand are only for Chinese market, we only got MG BYD in Ireland. Brand such as AITO NIO LIXIANG CHNAGAN
You guys have done a great job showing people how important to discover with your own eyes and to explore with your own feet is. Honestly, as a native Chinese who has been quite used to all these pretty common things in almost every Chinese city, I found your discoveries as a mirror, to remind us native Chinese to cherish all of these achievements that the government, together with the hard working people has made. Key advantages you’ll probably find: 1. Absolute safety to walk around even at midnight for a single girl. 2. Countless foods with incredible variety at very affordable, even fairly low price, as long as you are not completely spicy resistant. 3. Overall very friendly locals, with kind curiosity and absolute welcome to foreigners, regardless of their race, cultural backgrounds or religions. 4. Nearly 100% mobile payment and cashless life. Alipay is really enough for you guys. 5. Insanely diversity of local languages, landscapes, building styles and many more. 6. Advanced public transit, especially in Tier 1 cities and all provincial capital cities. High speed rail, metro, electric buses, etc.
The air quality in China is getting better and better and is decently good even in the biggest cities, mainly because a lot of cars now out on the streets are electric, most buildings are using green energy and stuff, China is nowadays very green frindly, or trying to be as much as possible. You know the cars with green plates are actually electric, and the blue plates are fuel. Basically ou have to unlearn everything you have heard about Ch8na in the western media.
Interesting every Vlogger that come to China always different each other. Some love exploring a big city , looking at public transport, other just straight go to cafe or restaurant, other go to park or historical sites. Some go to rural area. China have so much to offer.
@@shifayan9721 We got over that one here in the West a long time ago. Name calling denotes a lack of intelligence, failure to comprehend or denial of the truth.

The way you look at your backpack is that it comes from abroad. Our backpacks are usually on the back and sides, so you can rest assured that no one will steal them when you play. welcome to China.
Welcome to China. I've studied in Waterford for two years. I miss the Emerald Isle pretty much. Cliffs of Moher, Phonex Park, St Stephen's Green and the Library of TCD were my favourite places to visit. Enjoy your travel in Chengdu. I also would like to visit Chengdu again. I miss the food and lifestyle in Chengdu so much. Have a nice and safe trip.
I have watched many UA-cam travel vlogs from China. Especially from Chengdu. I really like the way you guys described the city and your perspective. You guys sees the little details that no other vloggers have thought to mention.
China is exceptionally safe. You can walk the streets at midnight without fear. You will see mostly security guards in public. They all have uniforms, usually in black. Their uniform will say 保安 or BAO AN.
This is my first time commenting, and you are also very popular on Chinese social media! I came from there to watch all your videos on UA-cam, looking forward to your trip! I recommend you to go to Suzhou, where you will see the classic and representative Jiangnan gardens! Suzhou Gardens! White walls and black tiles, full of Chinese aesthetics! Other bloggers haven't been there much, you can go and explore it! Very representative Chinese aesthetics!
The "dragon deer" you are touching at 13:21 is called Qi Lin or 麒麟。look it up online there's a lot about it. Btw, Huawei named their chip set after this animal 😊 And btw, you're 100% correct about the turtle, except for it is a tortoise.
Your videos are so interesting. China is very safe. You don't have to worry about being stolen or robbed. It is also very clean. The people are very warm and friendly, and the food is very rich. I look forward to seeing more of your stories about China.
Chengdu is known as the "Park City under the Snow Mountain" with its numerous parks. I recommend visiting one or two of these, such as Qinglong Lake Park, where you'll find pleasant surprises.
The name of the bread you eat in video is 锅盔，calls guo kewei ,and touch the turtle statue means get a long and healthy life❤❤thank you to show my hometown truthfully ❤❤
Hey Naomi & Luke, Chengdu is my hometown, thanks for showing the reality of Chengdu to the world through your video. I'm so impressed that the things we get-used-to-everyday attract you so much, i mean in a positive way. Chinese people are normally very friendly, like most of the people in the world, we'd love to treat friends with our best hospitalities. I have no idea how the western media usually describe China, but I assume many of the news are not true or in negative ways because of political propaganda. China is not a rising monster that wants to threat the western world, even through with different political system and culture etc. When talking about the government, there is no perfect government in the world i believe, we complain our government as well. However, China is still a developing country, over 9 billion people annual income is less than 2000 US$, maybe less, we have the strong desire and rights to develop the country to increase our lives. But I see the EU and the US try very hard to depress China’s development, and treat China as an enemy. We feel actually shocked and disappointed. Unlike many western countries, China has never invaded other countries proactively in the past hundred years, in the contrast we were been invaded and semi-colonized by other countries. These like scars in our heart, and that's why we wanna be strong enough to prevent being bullied by others again. I hope you have a Great Great trip in China and spread the realities to the world, no matter positive or negative ways, but only the truth.
Welcome to China~~~Thank you for your willingness to promote China. I felt the hostility of Western countries toward China, and I also experienced the dangers of being in New York at night. I am proud to be born in China. It is a beautiful city and I can party with my friends until midnight before going home. I can eat my favorite snacks non-stop in the snack street. The express delivery downstairs at my home is always waiting for me to take it home. Anyway everything is safe. It's amazing here.🥰🥰🥰
Congrats on making an excellent choice! I would say Chengdu is ideal as the first city to visit for Westerners who have never been to China before. The other one is Kumming. Both cities ease you into the country without overwhelming you. China is huge, has a long history and a very diverse culture. You can spend decades traveling around the country without exhausting new things, places and people to see.
As a Chinese,but living in UK right now,very happy to see more and more people to travelling in my country,It's a good place to enjoy lifetime,hope you happy there.
@@TwoMadExplorersYou will find the food styles in China are countless! If you’re food lovers you should stay there for years and travel to different provinces.

If you have access to alipay, why not rent those shared bikes? I think those yellow colored ones are good to go, and very affordable, like us$0.20 a ride.
Exploring on foot is a great way to see Chengdu. My first trip there was in 2003 and the city has changed and grown up amazingly. My wife is from Chengdu so I have been privileged to watch it develop and blend its history with the 20th century. I was there in March first time since Covid and was amazed by the acceptance and introduction of electric cars. I will be back there in October to spend time with my in laws. For me it’s the people that make Chengdu, they are very friendly, kind and loves meeting people from other countries. Enjoy your trip and find out the truth that western governments don’t want anyone to see
To be balanced, it WAS (past tense) true that many or most medium and large Chinese cities had serious air, soil and water pollution in the past due to the unprecedented rapid economic growth which, unfortunately, was deemed a 'necessary evil' to pull the massive population out of abstract poverty. However, around 15 to 20 years ago, the national mindset began to change as the various type of pollution got so serious that there was a real possibility that the natural and urban environment might become permanently damaged if nothing was done to reverse the situation. So, the central government began to embark on painful but necessary economic reforms to upgrade the manufacturing processes, innovate new industries, and promote eco-tourism aggressively among other poverty alleviation measures to tackle the pollution. Hence, the unbelievable usage of electric vehicles and affordable public transport that you pointed out several times in your video today. Oh, even the widespread use of electronic payment (cashless) can be seen as a measure to fight pollution since it greatly reduces the amount of cotton and other resources needed to print paper currency which, you can imagine, is a LOT since China has 1.4 Billion plus people (almost 20% of world's population). However, as you pointed out, western mainstream media is so arrogant and deceitful that it simply refuses to acknowledge the rapid improvement of China's natural and urban environment. In fact, the Chinese often jokingly use "BBC filter" to refer to the common practice of western media to smear China - for eg, even though the fact is that a video or picture of a particular location shows clear blue skies on everyone's screens, western media like the BBC would depict the SAME location with a grey and gloomy filter or angle. I also laughed out loudly in the earlier part of the video when you pointed out correctly that the loudest source of noise was a lady and not the busy traffic, haha. If you are impressed with Chengdu's (FYI, only a Tier 2 City by Chinese standards) infrastructure, wait till you visit the 4 Tier 1 cities (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing and Shanghai). Nice video. Hope you have also explored one of the world's largest building which is the New Century Global Center in Chendu. Do exercise common sense and usual safety precautions even though China is indeed overall one of the world's safest countries.
Did you guys just arrived in China from SE Asia?if so no matter where you go in China You'll feel relaxed even cities like Shanghai would feel very calming and good infrastructures, cleanliness are standardised in China in cities or countryside, big or small. Best wishes for this eye opening experience.

The investment by the Chinese government into infrastructure and modernisation efforts really paid off. It's not surprising that the rest of the world wants to work with China. The exploitative and chaotic US style government simply doesn't work elsewhere.
Speaking of preserving historical sites and architecture, the Brits & French expeditionary forces pillaged and burnt down the Old Summer Palace (Yuan mingYuan) in 1860, which was a fusion of Western & Eastern architecture. It was 3 times the size of Versailles, took 3 generations of emperors to build, but destroyed thoroughly in 3 days. Also, the reason why not a lot of Caucasian tourist is because the Western Media feeds fear-mongering propaganda to its citizens, to discouraged them from visiting China. Recently, the US advise against its citizen from visiting Xinjiang because they know once people start checking it out for themselves, all the lies and mainstream narrative will be dispelled. These are the same news organization that fed the people lies about the WMD in Iraq or the Gulf of Tonkin incident in Vietnam.
他们害怕民众来到中国，因为中国有他们罪恶的真相。
The USA is a backwards place for the world, it only knows how to generate chaos...
Us and Western politicians fear tourists visiting Xinjiang for fear their lies will be exposed.

Hi！ here’s your new subscriber from Hong Kong China! I just want to comment that the reason why the lady who helped you guys in the last video at the Chengdu airport said Ailpay can’t work is she was thinking of the TRAFFIC QRCODE inside the Ailpay,you can scan that code when get in the metro gate,and scan it again when you get off at any gate on Chengdu metro map, the system will calculate the price automatically and you don’t need buy a ticket from the machine,(she thought you guys don’t have the code),generally that’s more convenient and environmental-friendly!Hope you enjoy your trip on Chengdu metro !

It’s so amazing how clean this place is. No graffiti and not a spec of garbage on the ground. People are so friendly and respectful. The vendor booths are so organized !! I’m planning my summer vacation right now and must include China. I want to visit Chengdu obviously and will include Xinjiang. I want to see Xinjiang for myself.
Plan your trip very carefully, Xinjiang is HUGE and Urumqi does ONLY represent a tiny bit of Xinjiang. However, the other regions of Xinjiang does not have good enough English-based-infrastructure, so it might be tough for foreigners (some of the elder people don’t even speak mandarin the language barrier is huge even with translating apps), you might wanna check out travel agencies for that. BTW, if you wanna visit Tibet, it is mandatory for foreigners to apply for a permit and join a tourist group but Tibet only, all the other regions are free to travel, well I’m not saying Tibet is not free but restrictions are restrictions lol. Because China is a huge country, it is NOT recommended to travel all the major cities in 2 weeks. If your country is included in those 15-day visa-free countries, I do recommend planning a trip within 1 or 2 provinces, that should give you a decent summer experience. Oh even though ChongQing is only 75 minutes HSR away from Chengdu, I wouldn’t recommend you visiting my hometown during summer, it’s not gonna be summer but a steamer lol😂😂😂

The city boasts cleanliness and a refreshing atmosphere owing to the prevalence of electric vehicles, while the populace predominantly opts for the Metro, rendering commuting both accessible and convenient. Traveling feels secure with the visible presence of law enforcement and security personnel in public spaces. The locals exhibit warmth and amiability, evidently relishing their lives. Cherish the remainder of your ChengDu expedition. Rest assured, we eagerly anticipate revisiting ChengDu in the foreseeable future.

The Xizang Autonomous Region, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Qinghai Province and Gansu Province are remote areas in China. Although the economy is underdeveloped, you can experience beautiful natural scenery, which is very, very beautiful, not ordinary. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen are major cities in China, where you can feel the charm of modern cities. But I would recommend some second tier cities in China (Dalian, Qingdao, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Tianjin, Wuhan, Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing, Xiamen, Nanjing, Xi'an). These cities have a profound historical background and each has its own characteristics. For example, in Xi'an, you can witness a lot of history, even historical sites from over 2000 years ago; In Hangzhou and Suzhou, one can appreciate the charm of Chinese classical architecture; In Chongqing and Chengdu, you can enjoy a slow paced life, and hot pot is a specialty here. Of course, there are many beautiful cities in China that are particularly suitable for tourism, such as Guilin, Zhangjiajie, Kunming, Yangzhou I can't count anymore. You will be very safe here, please make sure to enjoy your journey. Blessings from China❤
Those areas are not underdeveloped, just not as developed as eastern cities.

I am a Chinese who has lived in Chengdu for over 30 years and I love it. Every foreigner who comes to China is overwhelmingly mesmerized by the modern cities (buildings, roads, traffic, payment methods, etc.), but the beauty of China is the thousands of years of culture, the magnificent natural scenery, the harmonious multi-ethnic relations, and the obsessive food. Get away from the metropolis and explore the more beautiful nature. Great scenery around Chengdu: Dujiangyan, Mount Qingcheng, Sanxingdui, Leshan Giant Buddha, Mount Emei, Jiuzhaigou ......❤
Chengdu is one of the most relaxed and easy going among the large cities and has many beautiful old towns and mountain monasteries to visit nearby. It's a great place to spend a few days

Comparing to other Chinese cities, Chengdu has a very long period of continuous development without big wars or disturbances due to its special landscape. Moreover, it’s humid, warm weather and wide, fertile soil has made it rich from Han dynasty, so it’s generally regarded as one of the richest area in entire China and the richest in the west. I believe that’s why it could accumulate such a globally influential food culture.

About 20 years ago, there were many terrorist attacks in China and many people were killed and injured. Since then, the government began to set up a fixed police box in a lot of places, such as railway stations, famous scenic spots, etc., and then configure some police cars to patrol the streets, which can timely deal with emergencies in any corner of the city, so you can feel that it is very safe on the street.
Terrorism in China only took place in Xinjiang then, which was sponsored by foreign forces, but it was well controlled by central government.
Those terrorist attacks were carried out by Xinjiang separatists and Tibetan separatists

Hello from Dublin, I think you guys should check out some Chinese EVs if you guys are interested, because most of the Chinese brand are only for Chinese market, we only got MG BYD in Ireland. Brand such as AITO NIO LIXIANG CHNAGAN
Thank you for your videos. Encourage your friends back home to visit China too
You guys have done a great job showing people how important to discover with your own eyes and to explore with your own feet is. Honestly, as a native Chinese who has been quite used to all these pretty common things in almost every Chinese city, I found your discoveries as a mirror, to remind us native Chinese to cherish all of these achievements that the government, together with the hard working people has made.
Key advantages you’ll probably find:
1. Absolute safety to walk around even at midnight for a single girl.
2. Countless foods with incredible variety at very affordable, even fairly low price, as long as you are not completely spicy resistant.
3. Overall very friendly locals, with kind curiosity and absolute welcome to foreigners, regardless of their race, cultural backgrounds or religions.
4. Nearly 100% mobile payment and cashless life. Alipay is really enough for you guys.
5. Insanely diversity of local languages, landscapes, building styles and many more.
6. Advanced public transit, especially in Tier 1 cities and all provincial capital cities. High speed rail, metro, electric buses, etc.
The air quality in China is getting better and better and is decently good even in the biggest cities, mainly because a lot of cars now out on the streets are electric, most buildings are using green energy and stuff, China is nowadays very green frindly, or trying to be as much as possible. You know the cars with green plates are actually electric, and the blue plates are fuel.
Basically ou have to unlearn everything you have heard about Ch8na in the western media.

Hey Naomi & Luke, Chengdu is my hometown, thanks for showing the reality of Chengdu to the world through your video. I'm so impressed that the things we get-used-to-everyday attract you so much, i mean in a positive way. Chinese people are normally very friendly, like most of the people in the world, we'd love to treat friends with our best hospitalities.
I have no idea how the western media usually describe China, but I assume many of the news are not true or in negative ways because of political propaganda. China is not a rising monster that wants to threat the western world, even through with different political system and culture etc. When talking about the government, there is no perfect government in the world i believe, we complain our government as well.
However, China is still a developing country, over 9 billion people annual income is less than 2000 US$, maybe less, we have the strong desire and rights to develop the country to increase our lives. But I see the EU and the US try very hard to depress China’s development, and treat China as an enemy. We feel actually shocked and disappointed. Unlike many western countries, China has never invaded other countries proactively in the past hundred years, in the contrast we were been invaded and semi-colonized by other countries. These like scars in our heart, and that's why we wanna be strong enough to prevent being bullied by others again.
I hope you have a Great Great trip in China and spread the realities to the world, no matter positive or negative ways, but only the truth.
👍👍👍

@@TwoMadExplorers 一定要去川西，去感受世界上极难有的高原风光。
@@TwoMadExplorersyou guys will love this trip.
@@TwoMadExplorersYou will find the food styles in China are countless! If you’re food lovers you should stay there for years and travel to different provinces.
Hello two mads..wow look in your vdo China their city is clean and orderly. I ll go visit there some time in future. will you guys come back to thailand again ?
If you have access to alipay, why not rent those shared bikes? I think those yellow colored ones are good to go, and very affordable, like us$0.20 a ride.
人家要拍视频啊 骑车怎么拿相机……
It’s cool to ride bike after walking
Alipay only supports green bicycles. Fortunately, yellow and green are the same on the streets.

Exploring on foot is a great way to see Chengdu. My first trip there was in 2003 and the city has changed and grown up amazingly. My wife is from Chengdu so I have been privileged to watch it develop and blend its history with the 20th century. I was there in March first time since Covid and was amazed by the acceptance and introduction of electric cars. I will be back there in October to spend time with my in laws. For me it’s the people that make Chengdu, they are very friendly, kind and loves meeting people from other countries. Enjoy your trip and find out the truth that western governments don’t want anyone to see
Cars with green plates are EVs, those with blue are ICEs (internal combustion engines).
To be balanced, it WAS (past tense) true that many or most medium and large Chinese cities had serious air, soil and water pollution in the past due to the unprecedented rapid economic growth which, unfortunately, was deemed a 'necessary evil' to pull the massive population out of abstract poverty.
However, around 15 to 20 years ago, the national mindset began to change as the various type of pollution got so serious that there was a real possibility that the natural and urban environment might become permanently damaged if nothing was done to reverse the situation.
So, the central government began to embark on painful but necessary economic reforms to upgrade the manufacturing processes, innovate new industries, and promote eco-tourism aggressively among other poverty alleviation measures to tackle the pollution.
Hence, the unbelievable usage of electric vehicles and affordable public transport that you pointed out several times in your video today. Oh, even the widespread use of electronic payment (cashless) can be seen as a measure to fight pollution since it greatly reduces the amount of cotton and other resources needed to print paper currency which, you can imagine, is a LOT since China has 1.4 Billion plus people (almost 20% of world's population).
However, as you pointed out, western mainstream media is so arrogant and deceitful that it simply refuses to acknowledge the rapid improvement of China's natural and urban environment.
In fact, the Chinese often jokingly use "BBC filter" to refer to the common practice of western media to smear China - for eg, even though the fact is that a video or picture of a particular location shows clear blue skies on everyone's screens, western media like the BBC would depict the SAME location with a grey and gloomy filter or angle.
I also laughed out loudly in the earlier part of the video when you pointed out correctly that the loudest source of noise was a lady and not the busy traffic, haha. If you are impressed with Chengdu's (FYI, only a Tier 2 City by Chinese standards) infrastructure, wait till you visit the 4 Tier 1 cities (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing and Shanghai).
Nice video. Hope you have also explored one of the world's largest building which is the New Century Global Center in Chendu.
Do exercise common sense and usual safety precautions even though China is indeed overall one of the world's safest countries.
你是了解中国的，经济飞速发展的时候确实牺牲了很多自然环境，后来越来越重视“绿水青山”的重要性后，全国都开始了修复和保护自然环境，所以以后的中国会越来越好！
Did you guys just arrived in China from SE Asia?if so no matter where you go in China You'll feel relaxed even cities like Shanghai would feel very calming and good infrastructures, cleanliness are standardised in China in cities or countryside, big or small. Best wishes for this eye opening experience.
从全世界那个国家过来中国都是舒服的感受，别扯东南亚，欧洲很多国家还不如东南亚国家！
39:40 actually that flowers made the pattern of "Golden Sun Bird" which is an ancient artifact dates back to the late Sanxingdui period (around 1200-1050 BC), and is now located in the Jinsha Museum, Chengdu.
Very nice video! love it! And the Guokui (the to-go snack you guys had) looks SO GOOD 🤤
这一点也不像锅盔，完全就是个肉饼
really a gorgeous, peaceful place! love you guys to present this. many thanks.
You guys are very open-minded since day one. I saw your arrival video and I subscribed. Enjoy your exploration of China!
❤️
I only checked 2 million times every day to see if there’s a new video😎 Great job guys❤️
tbh I started to place attention on the details of the historic sites, the infrastructure etc in my country just as you did in the video. Many thanks
Luke, Naoi, I trust all your video are genuine and real. Keep up your endeavors. UA-cam puts ads on your videos. I trust UA-cam pays you for all the click rates and thumbs up earned.
一直会关注，这些时候建议去四川西部，也就是川西。那里景色现在非常迷人
人家刚来，还不适合去那么远那么偏的地方参观，先参观一些主要的大城市，以后有机会再去远一点的地方参观
那里难度有点大，318很美但是本地人都要带氧气瓶才敢去😂

Chengdu was called Chengdu 2000 years ago and has never changed its name. It's mainly cloudy, so the people here are whiter. have a good time.
成都最早叫益州，也叫过锦城、蓉城
@@andyqian1241 最早就是叫成都2400年了，取自一年成聚，二年成邑，三年成都，益州是唐朝时候的叫法
@@andyqian1241 益州是州级行政区划名，不是城市的名字，锦城和蓉城只是别称
can't wait for the next eposode. both chengdu and chongqing are known for having great hotpot and i suggest you guys ask locals for the best restaurants. (very spicy)
