I got the chance to stay in Chongqing for about a week or so back in 2013 - also my first time ever in China! My mind was completely blown by how incredible and insanely huge the city was, and just the sheer scale of everything there (and it looks like it's only grown even more since I was there!) - but I was equally as mindblown that virtually nobody had ever even heard of it back home! So glad people are finally starting to realise its existence and see just how awesome it is. Thanks for the great video, made me nostalgic and brought back some really fun memories for me - the hot pot, indoor markets, walking through the streets and looking at the seemingly endless amounts of tall buildings, and the super warm and welcoming people we met there (like Michael!). :)
As Chinese living in UK. I’m so happy you had the chance to visit China and enjoy it. Chongqing is such a unique city and the food is just so amazing. If you like spicy food. Chongqing is one of the best places you could visit for sure.
@@benmorris Dude your style of vlog is so good , please a full china travel series. That would be great and if you can make your videos longer because they are so good. Please do a full blown china travel series. Most of the chinese cities are great and also do a travel vlog series of chinese villages they are so great. If you can make a video about lijiang china , the place is nuts. Looking forward to more of your china vlogs man.
Love your work Ben! So glad you were able to experience one of China's greatest cities. Chongqing is amazing and thank you for showcasing the real China through your eyes as a first time visitor! Well done
Wow this city's architecture is incredible. Ultra modern cyber futuristic yet integrated with nature and history. I love youtubers showing different sides of China since the news and media usually portrays the negative sides of the country.
Thank you for sharing this interaction with Michael , I actually felt emotional when he was speaking about his dreams , there’s some incredible humans on this earth and you showed this !
If Michael ever gets to read this, I want him to know that I (and I think im speaking for the majority of the people) absolutely love him. Such a kind and genuine guy! It's a real blessing that you've got to meet him.
@@lingfengge6666technically its true but its bc they count population differently in china where the entire metro area of a city is considered the 'city' so the numbers seem way larger
Always a great day when Ben uploads! I have also been seeing a lot of Chongqing on my tiktok and would love to go. Also Michael "can I call you mate?" was brilliant
Hi Ben. I just watched your video and noticed you used a couple of shots from my videos. I don’t mind at all-it’s awesome to see my work featured! 😊 That said, a heads-up or a quick credit would have been nice.
I am so happy that you do videos (more like one video I guess) about China, can't get enough of em! Michael is an absolute treasure, would love to see you two do something again :D
I stumbled upon your video … and even though the entire video was interesting…. It was the moments with Michael that made me subscribe….. such a genuine moment.
My friend you do not want to go to China. It is one of the most dangerous and racist countries to visit if you are a foreigner. Mostly everything you see about China is communist propaganda. In reality (this is the truth before y'all try to fact check) the cities are filled with tofu dragged(look it up if you are not in censored China) construction and if you look closely at the buildings they are rusted and dirty.
As someone from Chongqing and living now in France, in 2017 I took a train from Glasgow back to London and chatted with two British teenagers sitting next me. They told me that they just saw some crazy video of a Chinese city where subway goes inside a building on Tiktok and I told them that's where im from lol. And I do have several french friends who know the city as well so...What you show in the video is just so normal for someone like me growing up in Chongqing, and the city is like this since a long time ago and it's interesting to see that ONLY NOW people from the rest of China and even from other countries starting to know the existence of Chongqing.
Aw Michael! I understand the struggle to try and make content. I haven't bothered because im also nervous about showing my face. I can relate to him. He's so friendly and extroverted. I wish the best for him! What a friendly guy!
the true essence of travel... meeting new people and getting to know their stories and way of living... all the whilst making friends (for life). Truly priceless ❤
The same story applies to most Chinese as well. This city, known for being the wartime capital during WWII, suddenly gained widespread popularity overnight.
People are just people. Everybody just wants to live and nice and peaceful life with choices. Awesome video mate. Was fun seeing your genuine and fun experience at the end with your new mate Michael. Please visit more of China. Chongqing is just one place... China has *A LOT* of amazing places and sceneries!
watching your interaction with Ben just bought joyful tears to my eye, this is the world we all want to live in. Peaceful, harmony and stranger can turn into friends in no time, thank you very much for your work
I went to china for the first time this year, and also to Chongqing. I will as so surprised by the kindness of people! It was such a cool trip and you can indeed travel like a king for an affordable price there
Very nice video of this amazing city...I repeated the part where Michael showed up different time, what a pure and great personality this guy has. I hope he can read all the reactions! He deserves this. Hope his dreams come true. Greetings from Holland!
Welcome to Chongqing! In the past 365 days, it has become so trendy to come here :) The city still hasn't become really ready for foreigners yet, almost no English and other things, but soon it will be!
U want English? Go to the expat/tourist areas in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen and Guangzhou etc.... Anywhere else in China, you learn to speak Mandarin（or use a translator app）, not the other way around!
Man! what an amazing edit What an eye-catching intro And your storytelling skill I am very surprised maybe I will watch this video over and over to learn more as a youtuber❤️ Hug from Afghanistan 🇦🇫

I've heard of Chongqing but this is the best video I've seen of it. I've yet to try hotpot but I will be soon as I have a friend who loves it. You can buy beef stomach in the UK (it's tripe). When I was younger I still regularly saw it in the window of butcher shops, but I can't honestly remember the last time I saw it. I don't like the smell of it raw but I'm sure it must be better once cooked. I would definitely try it, after all as a Scot I've eaten Haggis!
if you look closer of definition of city it differs as there's 4 different categories. A thing about Chongqing is that because of how they built it there's a lot of stairs & the same condo can have different stairs entrance to get to a unit. Being with Michael made the ending fun
I think this video would be a simple vlog, nothing more there, but the Michael encounter make it really human, is beautiful to see people being people, that´s what we need and what we should try to achieve.
One of the best cities in China and the entirety of Asia. I visited twice whilst living in China over covid. Ngl it doesn't feel as big as the population states it is. When I made a video there, I was pretty much the only foreigner in the city centre that day! An awesome place that I'm glad you enjoyed. If you want some more underrated cities in China, make sure to go to Changsha, Kashgar and Wuhan (yes, I'm not joking...)
Just subscribed! Your video is so refreshing and amazing to watch. It allows me to daydream little more these days when I need it most. Meeting Michael…core memory material.
Nice video, thank you for sharing. Chongqing is the largest city in the world people never heard of because the west uses a different parameter when measuring the size of this city. If they use the same statistics used to measure the size of each city across America, 6 of the top 10 biggest cities in the world would be in China with Chongqing at the top.
Chongqing is a little different that it used to be part of the Sichuan Province, but now directly under Bejing, It's more of a County size, the reason there are 32Million if you count it that way.
First timer to your channel via being fed this video in the algorithm. Watched this video front to back. Loved it. Instant subscribe. Looking forward to more!
Love how the some channels paint China as some kind of dystopia while poverty in the west is on the rise and our infrastructure is falling into disrepair. There is a conversation coming soon, I hope.

Been wanting to go to China for so long and every video I see about it makes it even more intriguing! Great video
Waiting only makes you struggled, but action can bring you to the destination.
My friend you do not want to go to China. It is one of the most dangerous and racist countries to visit if you are a foreigner. Mostly everything you see about China is communist propaganda. In reality (this is the truth before y'all try to fact check) the cities are filled with tofu dragged(look it up if you are not in censored China) construction and if you look closely at the buildings they are rusted and dirty.
Just make sure you have the proper vpn, SIM cards, translation apps and payment apps set up before you go. China is a cashless society.
As someone from Chongqing and living now in France, in 2017 I took a train from Glasgow back to London and chatted with two British teenagers sitting next me.

Chongqing is a little different that it used to be part of the Sichuan Province, but now directly under Bejing, It's more of a County size, the reason there are 32Million if you count it that way.
Another difference is that Chongqing is the only world's mega city that is not built on flat topography.
Yeah it’s got a weird definition of a city - good for my title hahaha, still such a cool place regardless!!
@@benmorris Yes thanks for the accurate title.

Chongqing gives the world an example of vertical urbanism.
Great Video man, Michael is awesome too!
You should definitely visit more of China, so many beautiful places which people dont know about and such a big country with tons of history
Teared up at that Michael interaction man what an amazing pure soul he is
Love how the some channels paint China as some kind of dystopia while poverty in the west is on the rise and our infrastructure is falling into disrepair. There is a conversation coming soon, I hope.
absolutely love this video style.. also looks like your gear is quite compact and ready for run and gun
