It makes me so happy to see an Asian UA-camr sharing their Chinese heritage! As much as I adore Korean/Japanese culture, Chinese culture doesn't get as much love on UA-cam or in the media in general. Thanks for being a positive influence in the space :)
P.S. I didn't get to say goodbye to my grandmother in Beijing because of covid, I hope you're cherishing every moment with your family.
Unfortunately the current political environment makes Chinese the new boogeyman.
China is oldest culture before even Korea and Japan established
Comparing Chinese culture, Korean/Japanese culture are so-called cultural. Don’t present yourself unknoweledgable
Thank you Wesley ❤ definitely trying to share more of my Chinese & Vietnamese culture on my channel and I’m so glad that the message got through! So sorry to hear about your grandma and hope that you get to reconnect with family in Beijing soon 🫶
Sadly there are reasons for this, but will get political.
With UA-cam banned in China, it's great to see content that shows typical life in China. Props to the triple threat of speaking in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Same 3 languages as me, although my Mandarin is pretty bad still.
Omg youtube is banned in china?! Why😢
@@hiilol Google left China in 2010 after it was unwilling to comply with one of China's internet security laws. UA-cam went along with it since it's owned by Google. It's still easily accessible through VPNs however which are widely used by Chinese Internet users.
@@hiilolNot just china, there was a point in time where every phones, tablets etc from companies in china didnt have access to google services ie huawei
@@jasonooi4246 wow😯
This is the first time I've seen an Abc influencer come back to China and make a video, so welcome, and have fun!
Yes definitely trying to show more of my culture on my platform! Thank you for watching ❤
关注你很久了，一直觉得你的视频让人非常放松，很开心看到你能回中国来陪伴家人。希望你能继续分享有趣的日常和旅行中的见闻🤗
You talking with your grandparents made me cry so much 🥹 My grandfather recently passed away and I hadn't had the opportunity to see him since the covid lockdowns so thank you for sharing this sacred moment with us and allowing me to live vicariously through this 💗
The pandemic really took such a big toll on family connections 😞 I’m very lucky to have this opportunity because I also worried that they wouldn’t be here post restrictions being lifted. I’m sorry for your loss - sending you a big virtual hug and lots of love ❤
as an ABC who grew up in China and now lives in NY, I haven't been able to go back to China and see my nuclear family as often since covid, so this vlog means so much to me 🥹 thank you sm for sharing!!!!
Wait that’s literally me except i was born in china
It’s so heartwarming to see that so many people relate to this video 🥹 hope you get to reconnect with your fam soon ❤
😅
Ppl. )
@@juliafei ahhh thank you Julia! I actually just reunited with them two weeks ago and it's been so nice :)
Please share more vlogs from your trip if you can! This was such a wholesome, interesting and informative vlog to watch! I've never watched a vlog like this made in China before and TBH it changed my perspective / gave me some idea just how modern and relatable everything is.
I loved how it went from "i think this has alcohol" to giving it her all in karaoke. Love your videos and how proudly you show your Chinese heritage, is super interesting.
Love from Puerto Rico
Wow, China is so modern and clean, the food look so delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful 🇨🇳 China! Food looks delicious and thank you for sharing your adventures! 😽😊
Thanks for watching Deb 😊❤
ooh i loved to see the culture! it’s very interesting because tbh i don’t get exposed to chinese culture very much (unlike korean and japanese cultures for example bc of my interests)!! this was such a cute vlog and i can’t wait for more! ❤️
So excited to share more Chinese culture with you all ❤
Beautiful, I love China! My husband comes from China, he's from Fushun. I hope to go one day to meet my family in law and showing our daughter, I look forward to it! Thank you for showing!
That sounds like it would be an amazing trip for you fam ❤ hope you all get to visit soon!
@@juliafei Good time to learn Chinese first haha
Spending time with grandparents is a blessing for us. Today's blog was so wholesome 😢❤❤
Your grandparents are both so sweet!! Glad you've been reunited with them and I really enjoyed seeing the culture and food and everything in China! Can't wait for more.
Thank you for your kind words Haley! ❤ definitely enjoying my time here
I’m so glad that you’re with your family. There’s nothing better in the world!
100% ❤
I absolutely adore your relationship with your family and especially your grandparents! ❤
❤ Wish I could show you all more but I still get a bit shy filming in front of them 😂
I’m planning to go to Guangzhou, China - my hubby’s country for the first time in few months and it’s kinda hard to find videos/vlogs about the city. Love your video a lot and hope to see more coming.
Not me rewatching the intro over and over because I don’t wanna miss a thing 😂😂😂
🥹🥹🥹💗
Excited for the next vlogs🙌🏾 And thank you for sharing :) I love vlogs when ppl travel back home and reunite with family, it’s the loveliest thing to witness just because the joy is so pure and contagious - and relatable!

That ending was nice how you spent family time with your grandma ❤
What a great time you are having! It looks like so much fun. Thanks for vlogging about it. I’m currently in Manhattan after a drive across the US. I can see why you like to live here. What a great vibe. I’m really enjoying it! Your grandpa and dad are absolutely adorable.

It’s literally the best dim sum place 🤤
this is such a sweet vlog! I love watching travel vlogs but especially ones driven with purpose and connection :) ❤
sidenote: I’ve noticed you have such an airy/breathy way of speaking and I’m curious if its because of the Chinese influencing the way you learned English? its so interesting!
Heeeey watching in the first 10mins since uploading. Enjoy China Julia!!!

Omg i just found your youtube, and im officially a fan! 🥰 I went to GZ last month, and had the exact same reaction when I drank the Cha Bai Dao's milk drink 😅 It tastes like fermented milk hahaha
Nice! Welcome to Guangzhou!!
Guangzhou looks so pretty! Fun fact, it almost has as many inhabitants as my country (Netherlands) in total
That really is a fun fact! I visited Amsterdam in 2019 and am dying to go back!!

Wow your Cantonese is 几好喔！I’m so related to this Video because I haven’t seen my family for two years because of Covid, and now I’m finally back home and reunited with my family 😢

The ending with your grandma was so cute hahaha. How did you meet all your China friends since you grew up in America?
She said in another vlog she would go back to China every summer
Yes! I met them while taking summer lessons in China 😊

This make me missing China too 🥹❤️
🥹🥰
😍 made me want to visit! (Sometimes your captions are too fast, the ones where you describe things)
Noted 📝 will slow them down in the future 😊
@@juliafei ty
I don't see too many vlogs about daily life in China, so this was super cool! are most people speaking cantonese or mandarin in guangzhou?
Mandarin is universal.
Each region also has its own dialect. There is a saying in China called "Ten miles of different sounds, a hundred miles of different languages"
There are tens of thousands of languages in China. Cantonese is just one of them.
China from ancient times to the present. All have different official languages. But the local language has not changed.
Alipay has an international version!
Idk why it didn’t work for me 😮💨😭 maybe it’s a me problem
love from Shanghai!💖💕💗
Sending love back ❤❤❤
It’s a sight and a smell I know🎉
