19 HOUR Layover In China (Guangzhou visa-free transit)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- If you're planning a trip or layover in China there is a lot to know before you go (hey, that rhymed 😅)! China is not the kind of easy-going travel destination where you can just wing it, especially because you will need to pre-download and setup apps that you will NEED to pay for things and basically do anything in China (hint: these apps cannot be set up after you arrive in China for various reasons). So to help our fellow travellers we documented our 19 hour layover in Guangzhou! If you have any other travel tips for China, please put them in the comments down below!
Apps you will NEED:
Get an Airalo e-sim: airalo.tp.st/j...
WeChat: apps.apple.com...
Alipay: apps.apple.com...
You can make payments using a foreign credit card with WeChat and Alipay, you can also use Didi (Uber) on Alipay as well as order food delivery, we stuck with Alipay because it worked for us but we downloaded and setup both apps before arriving to make sure we had a back up.

#china2024 #guangzhou #chinatravel
I was in China for a few months city hopping via high speed trains. It's like playing in a massive, massive wonderland. Everyday is an adventure. I really missed China's safety, freedom, conveniences, awesome sceneries and assorted cultures.
Welcome to travel again
China economy is bleak now and companies in Shanghai, Beijing and other tier one cities are shutting down. China is currently in a major recession and falling into a depression. Everyone is taking pay cuts. Life is extremely hard in China now.Just like how Japan collpased back around 1985, China now is collapsing. In 2021, there was $344 BILLION in Foreign Direct Investment into China, but due to COVID lockdowns in China that damaged the entire manufacturing delivery food chain, foreign companies have been leaving China. In 2023, FDI into China was only $33 Billion; an astouding drop of over 90% when it was $344 BILLION in just 2021. This is why the CCP has contacted Westerners and given special deals so they create UA-cam videos. This is why there is an explosion of YOTUBE videos in the last 6 months with so many with titles like 'Shocked about China" or "China is NOT What I Expected!" or "Honest Impression of Shanghi." Whoever gives a dishonest impression on Shanghai....except those who don't give you an honest impression.
People are suffering economically in China as if a depression has started. On top of this, foreign visitors to China has dropped about 65% compared to 2019. This is why China has open to free temporary VISAs to China for some 53 countries as they need hard dollar currency from other countries.
Foreign direct investment in China falls to 30-year low
Companies spooked by detentions for alleged spying and U.S. sanctions
BEIJING -- Investment in China by companies based abroad has sunk to the lowest level in 30 years, according to official data released on Sunday, in a sign that foreign corporations are leaving China due to tougher crackdowns on spying and U.S. sanctions.
China's foreign direct investment totaled $33 billion on a net basis in 2023, according to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, down about 80% from 2022. The figure was positive as new investment surpassed outflows. But FDI declined for the second straight year and is less than 10% of the peak of $344 billion marked in 2021.
China is actually a good tourist destination, provided you are not Chinese. This is because Chinese people are always very friendly to white people but very harsh to their own kind.
If you are Chinese, there is a high chance that you will have to work overtime for very low wages for your entire life and be unemployed after the age of 35. The beautiful buildings at tourist attractions have nothing to do with most people's lives, as the average monthly income in China is $449, and the monthly income of 1 billion people is less than $274. These are figures released by the Chinese government.
You will be strictly prohibited from criticizing the government in public, and it is difficult to speak normally on social media. There are no clear standards for speech control, but the main focus is that you cannot criticize the government or the system itself.
The government has serious corruption problems. For example, this year, players on the Chinese national football team can obtain game qualifications by giving large sums of money to the head coach. This is roughly equivalent to Rooney being able to play in the European Cup starting lineup just by giving Southgate a sum of money. Such corruption is common in China, with most of it benefiting from the speech censorship system and not being exposed.
Wealthy Chinese people send their children abroad for education because the main function of Chinese education is to cultivate a group of highly obedient slaves. After obtaining huge amounts of money through corruption, Chinese officials also find ways to transfer their wealth abroad and move their families to the United States.
If you don’t want to get involved in politics, have no interest in justice, and just want to live a quiet life, you won’t encounter much trouble. However, you must pray that nothing bad happens to you, because if it does, no one will stand up for you. Your voice will be deliberately silenced, and no one will know about your plight.
If you care about justice, freedom, democracy, equality, and constitutionalism, you will feel despair, as China is moving madly in the opposite direction. The most popular buzzword in China in 2024 is "garbage time in history," meaning that most Chinese people generally believe that China is moving in the opposite direction of modernization, and the country is doomed to fail. Now, it is just a matter of waiting for this moment to happen.
You are not uncovering any truth; you are just visiting the best tourist attractions, eating some good food, and seeing some sights.
You cannot understand why regions closest to China, such as Taiwan and Hong Kong, would rather die than return to China. We understand the true nature of China, unlike you tourists who are easily deceived.
Please do not be deceived by these naive tourists, as they are helping the Chinese government with propaganda.
welcome to china❤
You are a fraud, where oppressed people live. Don't you watch the media
Love Jacqueline's narration, professional and appealing, and expect more. Max, you are good, too. 😄
Haha Geor not too sure if you watched our new video in Australia but we actually mention your comment in the video. Check it out ❤️ Thank you for the inspiration of your comment 😅
Please come back. There is a lot more to see. You will love it. Welcome to China!
We are definitely going to come back for sure
Good to hear that you really enjoyed your time in China,my brother served in US air force before retired from LAPD, I moved to HK for many years and he came to see me a few years ago, guess what, he returned to US and brought a one way ticket to spend 4 months travelling all over China, he ll be back again in October this year.. 😊
wow good
hope he have fun in China😊
Wow! Great idea
4個月能走遍中國？😂

中国是世界上旅游资源最丰富的国家，有沙漠，有冰川，有世界最高山脉，有热带岛屿。有独特的地貌（阳朔，张家界，黄山，西藏，新疆．… ）有五千年历史的文化遗址。有长城，兵马俑，故宫，西安，有无数历史古城。也有现代化成市，上海，北京，深圳，广州，成都，更有世界上最大的城市重庆. 中国是世界上最安全的国家，没毒品，没枪支。旅行又方便，高铁可以去中国的大多数地方。物价又十分便宜。接下来几年中国旅行会非常HOT。
别误导人，中国最大的城市是上海，接着是北京。重庆是农村十城市。
@@TAIWAN_PROVINCE_CHINA 我是上海人，从面积到人口上海比不上重庆。这和gdp，影响力没关系。
@@TAIWAN_PROVINCE_CHINA这点我有些同意你的观点，虽然北京整个面积是2.5个上海那么大，但是整体城市化感觉没有上海做的好，重庆虽然面积很大，但是城市化比较好的地方也就是市中心位置了，都不错各有独特风情。。。
美食、美景、安全、自由、方便、清洁、高效准时便捷而四通八达的交通网络、友好的人们、包容的文化、高科技、关键还便宜…… 未来，正常操作的话，绝对是旅游热点！
可惜他开始地图那里 没有台湾 妥妥的吃里扒外
Great video, great couple and what a great experience! You two are so cute. More video, please.
Thank you for such a kind comment! Will do!
19 hours is only a touch of skin deep, definitely you need to go back there to explore more of China and hopefully you'll fully enjoy it. All the best!
Yea we will 🧡
7:04 You guys really know how to choose a place. This is the most authentic Cantonese cuisine. Enjoy the delicious food! All the best!
We got so lucky! The girls out front we're too friendly to say no too 💛
Guangzhou has been a trading port from year dot. Arabs were the first foreign traders I believe. You have chosen the right city to get your first Chinese experience.
So cool thanks
144 hours is not enough. Every place in China has different scenery and culture, but the transportation is convenient, clean and safe. You are welcome to come again after applying for a visa.
100% correct
15 days visa free entry for Australian and French passport holders.😊
About cleanliness, recently I have heard complaints from foreigners about the table on high speed rail.
@@luisanthonychau you're lying through your teeth. Their trains and tables there 10x cleaner than Biden-s table in the white house. Give me the break

Thanks for sharing.Guangdong Province in China is very hot this season.Please pay attention to heatstroke prevention and wish everything well.❤
It was really hot thats true. At least we will know what to expect for next time 🤩
amazing ❤
Thanks 😄🙏
Welcome to China and Guangzhou's food is one of the best in Mainland China!

Have fun! And happy to hear we helped 💛
Great introduction,Hope you can spend more time next trip.
Well thank you. We really hope so. 🙏
Lovely video friends. Thanks for sharing ❤
Hey Baron, thank you so much for that ❤️
Thank you for your fair introduction to my country. We don't need praise. We just need a fair and objective evaluation. Of course, there are still many deficiencies in our country that need to be improved!
Of course! We’re always positive but we try to show it how it is 😅 thanks for watching and commenting 🧡
This is a large family ancestral hall, which was built by a wealthy family in ancient China. It is now open to tourists as a cultural heritage.
There are many family ancestral halls in China, where you can find family trees, some of which can even be traced back to two or three thousand years ago. In rural China, a village generally has only one ancestral hall, and the entire village is composed of the same family, which has been thriving for hundreds or thousands of years.
The family ancestral hall will record every member who has made significant contributions to the family. Ancestor worship is a belief of the Chinese, which is more devout than religious beliefs.
Wow thank you for sharing that, really helps us understand our visit better 🫶
you need to spend your whole life to explore whole China (which is still not enough)...😘😘😘
I can imagine! It’s a big country and with so much history. We hope we get to come back and see at least a little bit more 🧡
Lol truth i guess china so big
@@MaxandJacqueline don't just "hope" to come back, just do it!! China is a travellers paradise, there's just so many varieties all across the country. Next time give it at least 2 weeks to explore a few cities.
@@MaxandJacqueline indeed, since you guys passport are eligible for 15 days visa free, here some tips, go there for 15 days, then to Hongkong, and reenter again for another 15 days, or Macau or Taiwan, and reenter, or neighbouring countries like Japan or Korea, so you may maximize your stay in mainland China...
@@MaxandJacqueline别说你走遍中国了，我一个中国人，很多地方都没去过😂😂😂
Thank you for showing the world the real face of China.
We loved it and can’t wait to explore now 😍
Max pronunciation of Chinese words are spot on e.g. Guangzhou, Yuan etc. Jacqueline narration are good. Please do more videos on China . Thanks!
Thank you ☺️ we hope to come back soon 🤞
China is currently the most tourist season with such good policies. Welcome to China for tourism
The first Dim Sum restaurant was TaoTao Ju. It's a quite authentic one and not that fancy or expensive, but the second one was good enough anyway.
Next time we will be more confident to stay as now we understand the pricing 😅
China is a friendly country with a vast territory and abundant resources and a long history. I hope everyone has a pleasant trip in China.
The shrimp dumplings look so good with thin and transparent skin.
Ah it was delicious
Every frame is worth watching. Thank you for your China exploration. Look forward to continuing
Awesome, thank you! Hopefully we make it back soon 🤞
At 7 minute, that is a classic cantonese fry broad white noodle with beef. Yes, its beef. My favourite fry noodle.
It was sooooooo gooood! Best Chinese food we’ve ever had!
Will follow your advice to visit China 🇨🇳 soon
🫶
G'day mate, welcome to China, finally you can taste real Chinese food, enjoy! :)
😅😂 Thats very true. And very delicious
Welcome to 🇨🇳,
The food you ordered are Cantonese style. They’re 😋👍👏
So yummy 🤤
Visa-free transit through China is a real game-changer, inviting more short-term visitors to sample the country's unique charm.
It just makes us want to come back and spend more time exploring China 🇨🇳
Great vlog! The first trip to china is always like this, culture shock, clumsiness, language barrier, lots of interesting findings. Hope you two may come back again soon now that you know what it really feels like. Next time you will feel much much more comfortable going around at ease :D
Thanks! We will definitely be back we loved this small adventure!
陳家祠堂，代表的是姓氏陳，的家族人的祭拜的宗祠。是中國人，幾仟年來的家族的規定及傳承。但日新月異，如今只有做是參觀的非遺場所。但是中國人依然是有此觀念。祭拜懷念祖宗。❤
I’m so glad that more and more people know the real China. If you have any questions about the trip in China, ask me and I’ll try my best to help with that.😊
Thank you so much that’s so kind 🫶
You two are really amazing 👏 having the courage to travel to China for a day. After watching your videos, I also want to experience it.
You can do it! If we can you can haha! It really just made us want to go back. Just ensure you setup Alipay or WeChat before you arrive and you’ll get by. Also an eSIM is essential so you have internet right away!
Welcome to my hometown GuangZhou China❤
可是他们是不友好的外国人 开头的中国地图没有台湾
@@sangstert8061 你啱
Thanks 😊
G'day, how ya going, mate ! Looks you two made the most of your short stay in my hometown of Guangzhou. You really enjoyed the Cantonese cuisine going by you reactions. Please come again and spend more time in the future. Cheers !!!😊😊
G’day mate! Love that 🫶 we had an amazing day and already are planning a longer trip in China 🧡
Thanks for a fun and informative travel log about Guangzhou. Seemed like a wonder place to visit. And the yummy looking food. We had only been to Guangzhou for the Canton Fair (廣交會) for business. So we didn't really have the chance to visit Guangzhou as tourists.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much James
I am Hong Kong local yes you 2 visited a province with the best quality food. Come to Hong Kong and Macau as well next time.
no best man. Every region of China has its own characteristics. It is impressive, but may not be the best. It seems Hongkongers after being ruled by UK for 99 years have abandoned the traditional value of being humble, speaking and behaving like Taiwanese claiming 'Taiwan is the best, the center of world'.
一踏入香港，就立刻會讓人明白甚麽叫錯誤的第一步
We hope to see more on another visit soon 🫶
你们是最聪明的，看旁边桌的人点什么跟他们一样，虽然我是中国人，在我的城市，去很多餐馆，我也不知道点什么，因为我也没吃过，餐馆太多，每家都有些不一样
Haha well thank you! It just felt right at the time and the food was so good!
Guangzhou is my hometown. Thank you for visiting Guangzhou. Your trip this time was too rushed. If you have the opportunity, you are welcome to come to Guangzhou again and have a deeper tour. If necessary, I am happy to be your guide.😊
Hey Klauss! Wow that's so good we will let you know for sure! Thank you for watching our video 😍
Dish you ask from next table is a very common dish call (牛超河粉 NIU CHAO HE FEN) stir fried beef rice noodle dry or wet(dry in this case).
Ok, thank you it was delicious! We made the right choice 😅
Actually it's called 干炒牛河 mostly.
actually first restaurant is not far expensive, just normal level
😅 ha OK sorry we didn't know
5:51 it’s beef
中国不要付小费的 节省开支😊
Welcome to China, this will be something you will never forget
Indeed. Can't wait to go back there soon 😉
When people try to help you, it's real, not like in many European countries. 😢😅
😅 sadly very true 🙏
假如你是一个美食爱好者，请来成都吧，这里有各种各样的美食，比如火锅、串串、烧烤、小吃等等；如果你是一个风景爱好者，请来四川吧，这里有各种各样的风景，比如雪山、草原、湖泊、平原、江河等等。欢迎全球各地的朋友来美丽四川看看！🙂
Thank you! We hope to return and travel more very soon 🫶
@@MaxandJacqueline Hope you have a good traval.
中国各地都有美食，而且各有特色，潮汕美食，广东，东北美食，陕西，新疆等地，都有特色美食，都能找到适合你们的口味食物
One doesn't go to Guangzhou to eat "Chinese" food; one goes for the Cantonese food😁. 5:48 Good choice, looks like the all-time classic, dry-fried rice noodles with beef.
We got so lucky with our order and it was delicious 🤤
Those shrimp dumplings look so awesome! They look way better than the ones in Hong Kong.
Welcome to China, Max and Jacqueline!
Thank you Perry 🥰
Nice video, if you going China again in the future, i strongly recommend Suzhou, you will love it, 100%👍
Thanks for the tip!
max的发音“广州”，非常的标准，是最近到过广州的旅游博主里面，发音最标准的一个。
Cool, was it correct?
@@MaxandJacqueline Perfectly Right
You guys have only seen 1% of China. There are many more beautiful and culturally rich places in China where you can go. Xinjiang is one such place you should not miss. Many visitors have been stunned by the friendliness of its people, the scenic mountains, lakes and the grasslands.
Yes we only had a short layover. Hopefully we can come back for a bigger trip next time 😊
I hope the blogger can promote more about Chinese city cuisine. China is a great city to visit, and now there is also a visa free policy. That's great
When we come back we will visit more places and of course eat more food 🫶
广州是一个非常接地气的城市，城市漂亮，环境优美，经济发达，而且地方特色浓郁，地方食品非常好吃且健康，小商品，服装，钟表，玩具，汽车等工业高度发达
NGL planning your next trip to China, it’s gonna worth it, also a boost to the channel too😂😂
We can’t wait to come back and explore more!
Welcome to China..hope you both have a great time ❤peace
Thank you! 😃
I have been leaving in China and all I hv to say is China is an amazing and beautiful
We loved our very short time there and can’t wait to come back 🫶

Those shrimp dumplings are called Har Gow! =D I'm glad you enjoyed, my favorite dimsum dumplings are Shu Mai and Har Gow.
Thank you! We will have to try Shu Mai next time 🤤
China's visa free transit policy is very friendly to the world
Eat in Guangzhou (Canton, where Cantonese food coming from), you can start from 7am till 3am next day😀😀😀
Thanks for the tips
Hope to see more Chinese trip from you both.
Definitely in the near future!
Hi, nice trip but a bit too short 😂 Thank you for the nice intro, u guys are well cultured, lovely people. Well, think u will get text asking u whether paid by CCP. 😂
Agreed, it was too short! Thank you, we’re not sure what CCP is but unfortunately we paid fully out of our own pocket 😅
China welcomes you. China is really big and has a lot of delicious food. I hope you can experience it slowly.
When we come back in the next year we will visit more places and of course try more food 🫶
wish you can come back and stay for more time in China.
We will! Absoultely. Thank you for watching 🙏🏻
Nice, take more time to explore next time.
Hopefully we will be back soon
China is a country with a rich cultural atmosphere, a lot of delicious food, and Chinese people are quite hospitable.
Thank you for my chocolate!! So amazing ❤
当你们俩从机场坐地铁进入市区时候刚刚遇上早上去上班的市民所以人流拥挤。希望你们有时间再次来中国游玩！
We hope so too 🤞
China is a very beautiful country. I yearn for life there and will travel there if I have the opportunity.
We cannot wait to go back and see more!
The meat is beef a popular dish even we have that in London China town and all parts of the world China towns..
Good to know thank you!
GuangZhou is a old city but still beautiful. You can go to ShenZhen is nearby GuangZhou. As a chinese I love Shenzhen more than any other city.
Thanks for the tips hopefully we will come back soon 🤞

Lingnan, is an large area south of the Five Mountains. To the people in the north, that's an area of southern nomads. lack of culture and sophistication or fine taste in arts and life...... Guangzhou became popular after Economic Reform and Opening up in 1987. It got faster development (commerce and trade with the inland) by being next to Hong Kong.
Brother！The city of Guangzhou has been built for more than two thousand years! You say this has no history? Guangdong Province is a big immigrant province. For thousands of years, people from the Central Plains of China have immigrated in succession, so Guangdong's culture has also retained the traditional Chinese native culture!
Great first visit to China! Your adventures in Guangzhou were so fascinating, especially exploring the local cuisine and the Chen Clan Academy. If you loved Guangzhou, you should definitely consider Yunnan for your next trip. The landscapes and cultural experiences there are truly amazing. Looking forward to more of your travel stories!
Thanks for the tip! We will be planning a longer trip to China soo hopefully 🤞
This is real China n Chinese peoples normal life，very nice，enjiy，cheers！
The Sculptures on the top of Chen Clay Academy are not made by the ceramic, but made by plaster. So it's the plaster moudling.
you guys did a lot in that short amount of time 👍
We would have done more if we weren’t so tired from the time difference 😅
😊Dim sum restaurants usually don't list the price for each single dim sum. They have like five categories or price levels 小點中點大點頂點精點. Each dim sum falls into one category. They count how many of each you eat. For us, usually we have 3 dim sums per person each meal.
Thanks for the info! That’s so helpful for next time 🫶
Thanks for sharing. Nice people deserve friendships :-D Welcome to visit China again! If you love the Cantonese dimsum, there are a lot more for you to try in Guangzhou. Cheers!😁
Thank you ☺️ we can’t wait to come back to eat more (and see more) 😋
Food is delicious thank you ❤❤
Thank you for watching 🫶
You are welcome to visit Beijing next time. The Great Wall and the Forbidden City are definitely worth a visit.
Next time! Absolutely 💯
haha, that first "fancy" restaurant is not really expensive, they did not show price because their price for most of the dishes are the same into 3 or 4 categories, and they are listed somewhere behind the menu, and it is one of the most popular and classic restaurant in the city!!! it is like 15-20 USD per person and you will be full. Try next time pls!!! haha
Okay thank you! We definitely will 🧡
China's transportation is very convenient for transferring to another place, and it's also easy to take the subway. There are many kinds of delicious food available
We would love to take a fast train when we come back!
Guangzhou is an old city, but it is also fashion and modern.
We really didn’t have enough time to do much. Next time we will stay longer 🧡
Looking forward to your future vlogs of China.
Us too 😆 hopefully we can make it back soon 🫶
Also remember to inform your bank you are going to China, else they may disable payment if they detect transaction from places prev unknown to them.
Good advice!
Welcome back in China!
Nice sharing and thanks !
Thank you too
Welcome to China. Come again and see more with your own eyes.
We can’t wait to come back on a longer trip!
Welcome to China , an advance ,friendly , diverse , safe , cashless , 5G , App and mobile based , affordable , filled with delicious food country.
From what I have been told by my Chinese friend from hong kong,
Guangzhou is a city where many people from hong kong stay and commute to hong kong on a daily basis due to cheaper housing and cost.
So this guy drives every morning from Guangzhou to hongkong.
Wow that seems so far 😅 but makes sense if your saving a lot!
I'll remember the updated text for you:
"It could be Shenzhen, China's high-tech city bordering Hong Kong, instead of Guangzhou. Travelling between Hong Kong and Guangzhou by fast train would take about two hours, not including transit and customs, making the total travel time more than four hours."
the beef rice noodle is one of the authentic Cantonese food.
It was really delicious!
I am married to a Guangzhou wife so we live Australia and China..my little tour guide .. High speed rail is unbelievable .. a Great Metro system .. shopping f its not in China its not on Planet Earth ..Taxis so cheap.. Magnificent Restaurants .. Light years ahead of Australia.. BUT remember my wife is a Guangzhou Lady..
Thanks for sharing and surfacing the truth. 👏👍

the house you visiting is chenjiagen‘s house a famous bussiness chinese. who build alot school in China
How cool!
Chen's academy was really an ancestral hall of the Chen Clan of the entire Guangdong province. It was illegal to build joint ancestral hall/shrine united multiple clans because the Emperor did not want a large gathering of people that could be a guise for rebellion. The Chen clan named it an academy to work around the system.
It served multiple purposes in addition to ancestral worship. It was a guild that provided many services to clan members including room and board plus education for Chen's descendants who studied for the imperial examination to become a court official, the mandarin bureaucrats.
Thanks for sharing 🧡
