I am Taiyuan girl and am living in Germany for couple years. Taiyuan is still my love, my home. Thank you for the great video and showing the real china.❤️👍
@@LaowaiMe just gotta know where to look for them :) there’s a place called Old Bar, it’s at the intersection of Qinxian jie and Pingyang lu. Most of the foreigners go there every night and it gets pretty crowded, especially on Sunday-Tuesday nights (days off for most of the foreigners there). The city itself is a great place to live, but gets a bit stale over time. Not a lot of things to do, so you kinda have to travel around the country, if you want to do something really exciting. I still love it very much, the best years of my life.
I had visited Taiyuan city and saw the modern, clean, efficient, and sophisticated underground coal mining about 30-40 km from the beautiful Taiyuan city. I like Taiyuan foods. I also went to Beijing by their HSR. It's so convenience. 👍👍🤣
As a Chinese person, I haven't been to many cities in China. I'm learning my country from foreign friends like you. I felt that I should have appreciated my country a little bit more after watching this kind of videos. Thank you for showing a different side of China.
Nice meening in you I was in love with you. i'm from Brazil i like you we can get to know each other and thanks and not Need to offend only wish I had known .
Yes, 1000s of Mainland Chinese with VPNS will upvote them then leave shitty comments about the USA and the evil 'West'. This Shill can expect lots of Mainland Chinese to see his videos made for Mainland Chinese people to watch.
Honestly, the African people should be helping themselves but I realize that China has made huge financial and expertise commitments but in the long run Liberia and other African countries are going to be in financial and cultural debt. I haven't been on the ground in Africa but have seen other documentary materials that suggest a long term dominance. One featured a huge housing development in Angola. Ok, good as far as it goes but why does Angola wait until the Chinese do it for them? Liberia should be a model of independent African development and progress.
@@coolorochi I appreciate it but what I'm saying is the "African" perspective will be driven by a Chinese perspective which Africans may not have much control over.
@@axgoat there are many negative narrative, so I hope these can provide some food for thought. I like a saying but I forgot where I heard it, it goes something like: "There are two choices, CN and US, if they choose CN over US even under US pressure, you can imagine how bad US option is"
3:09 In some southern cities, such as Hangzhou, there are some retired elderly people who find it too hot to go out in summer, but at home, they feel it expensive to turn on the air conditioning(China's elderly are used to a hard life when they were young), so they go to metro stations to enjoy the free cool air 🤣
I feel you! When I was a child, the electricity ran off quite often (shortage of electricity), and it was too hot inside the house that people had to get out... One common place that people used to go to enjoy cool air is the big commercial/ shopping center...
I’ve lived in China for 10 years before I left in 2017, I’ve seen China transforming. Very backward initially but grew modern every year. My love for China also grew
@@topsuperseven7910 The U.S government also once declared slavery legal, and manifesting destiny by killing all the natives as ethical. Though they still maintain many of the original principles, the CCP of the 50s is not the same as the current CCP.
@@niubi3923 Hi, no, 'The US government' did none of those things. Let's just be clear, you decided there is a continuous ruling party called 'The US government' just as there is a continuous ruling party called 'The CCP'. Wow... just wowwwww with you. Here is some advice to you: Never talk about anything like this again. Not politics, not history, not international events, never engage with these concepts and never talk about them like you have any good reason to be 'adding your thoughts' or engaging in any others. wow. really wow. You lover of evil things too. You are why the CCP will carry on abusing Chinese. You.
OMG it’s the first time I’m seeing a foreigner making a video for my home city!! I’m so glad and so excited to watch it! Thank you so much for doing this and I’d like to see you shoot more videos of other places in Shanxi👍🏻
@@朴永浩勇浩 300,000+ troops of CCP attacked this NORTHERN big city, in the late 1940's. Not sure how many of them ( Communist Party's soldiers ) died in the battle field before their dreams came true.
US will say China steal the concept/copy rights. Oops whatever China did or invented, it is all stolen properties...out of envy, jealousy or just sheer stupidity.
It's undeniable you believe the rest of the world must be the same as Chinese people, they must think like Chinese people, they must have the same 'Shame Culture', the rest of the world surely see's everything through Chinese thought. That is how ignorant you are. No, in China your fundamental purpose of life, the most important and really the only thing that matters is your 'face culture' or materialistic 'shame culture' where everyone lives in perpetual 'jealousy' or shame at how someone else is relatively getting more stuff. Here is some news: In fact, much of the world does NOT actually think in such a low, cheap and inferior way. I know this surprises you! You can't really understand it! but its true! most people are not cheap materialistic low-thinking xiao-ren and most don't have a 'shame culture' like you. It's really confusing isn't it? Well, now you've finally learned something new about the real and big world outside your bubble!
10:20 I recognised this ancient city from Ying Yang Movie from Netflix....WOW is an amazing city Taiyuan. I will visit after the pandemic. Thank you for your vlog.
I'm originally from northern China, and have been living in Germany for 27years. Now I'm looking for new opportunities in my homeland, first thought was Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and so on, you know the first liners. But after your video, I'm changing my mind, thanks for sharing!
China's rapid development has been beyond imagination over the past a couple fo decades, everywhere, including the third and fourth tier cities. More and more young folks start to consider building careers near their hometowns when more opportunities become available locally. That's the trend.
Lovely place indeed. UA-cam is anytime better than mainstream TV 😄. The entertainment is so in-depth, educational and genuine. Keep up the good work.🙏🏿
@@LaowaiMe Have been abroad since very young, most of my relatives are in Pingyao (a city in Shanxi), but my parents now reside in Shanghai. From your videos, Taiyuan and Datong seem to have developed even more since my last visit, but overall the economy in Shanxi is very mehhh now that the coal industry has completely declined.
@@sqian2004 Pingyao is a super cool place, but we didn't have time to go there ;( As for their economy,.. they are looking for new models and sources. Actually, Datong is doing it quite well. Many old people from Beijing go there to live.
this work is amazing, like a short documentary about Taiyuan. 🥰🥰🥰without your footage, even as a Chinese, I had no idea that Taiyuan, a traditional industrial city, had been transformed so successfully.
i am from Taiyuan. Great video and these changes are really happening in Taiyuan. There indeed are still many problems in Taiyuan now, but it is getting better and better. Hopefully, in the near future, Taiyuan could be a new tire 1 city and attract more people to come.
Just amazing and very innovative way to persevere to thousand year old Chinese civilization culture. Green- eco friendly is the best in big cities in future.
2rmb is about 0.25 pound for 5 stations journey that is very cheap indeed. In comparison, in Uk, On the London underground, a single station journey cost 1.5 pound.
Just found your vlog. Very interesting. Subscribed for more. A bit hard to hear your english accent but wonderful still. Guess you're from somewhere in Europe eh? I'm from Malaysia, Borneo. The land below the wind. I see mansana is here too.
Thanks! Haha, I'm trying my best. I'm Russian ;) And the thing is I have to speak Chinese every day, so it's a bit hard to switch 3 languages always. It would be better ;)
I love this video. I have a friend in Taiyuan and I'd never heard of it before and couldn't really find much about it. Your general tour makes it look like a mini tier 1. Thanks!
I love this video so much, I have been out of China for almost 5 years, it changed a lot everywhere, hope can see more different city introductions from your channel.
Dude the US/UK cities are overhyped. New York looks like a suburb of Shanghai or Beijing. And Beijing Forbidden City complex is far larger than overhyped times Square.
@@LaowaiMe It was really a heavily polluted city before 2014, particularly, 2011. I feel it becomes a clean city since 2015. And I miss the mountains around the city where i used to ride my bicyles.
Wow, thank you so much for making this video! I visited Taiyuan briefly as a stopover in 2012 after visiting Pingyao. I thought it was a real dump. I even met a person from Taiyuan in Xian and thought he was a "country bumpkin". My how things have changed in just 8 years! It's a real reversal- people were embarassed to be from interior cities, but now they will likely have a higher quality of life! It's showing the real heart of China that's interesting- not just the famous areas that everyone else goes to!
I'm so happy that you've featured Jinci in your vid! It's a hidden gem and a time capsule. The faded paint on the old wooden structures and sculptures is so atmospheric and evocative. The fact that it has survived numerous earthquakes, wars, and the cultural revolution is a miracle. More people need to visit and treasure this place.
A really great video. China does some remarkable things. Rebuilding the church was amazing. I really regret that I'm too old to give China a try, so I watch a lot of videos. Will subscribe now!
I am from Taiyuan, been away from my hometown for more than 3 years, missing home and thank you for showing the city in your video.it is so amazing visiting my hometown through your video.
Taiyuan's local specialities include: Tomato egg noodles (Chinese: 西红柿炒鸡蛋面; pinyin: xīhóngshì chǎo jīdàn miàn; lit. 'noodles with tomato and scrambled eggs') Tijian (剔尖; tī jiān; 'scraped noodles') Dao Xiao noodles (刀削面; dāo xiāo miàn) Tounao (头脑; tóu nǎo; 'brain-enhancing soup'): Contains mutton, rice wine and vegetables in the soup. This dish was first created by Chinese polymath Fu Shan, who was proficient in medicine, for his old and illness-ridden mother as a food substitute for the ancient medicine Bazhen Tang (literally "Soup of Eight Treasures") using only locally available food materials that have similar effects as the original medicine.[53] Lao Chen Cu mature vinegar (老陈醋; lǎo chén cù) Yuci Flour Sausage (榆次灌肠; Yú Cì guàn cháng) Fried Pork with vegetables (过油肉; guò yóu ròu) Mutton Soup (羊肉汤; yángròu tāng)
Thanks for sharing this amazing video, I am the Chinese who’s from yuci, the small town super close to taiyuan, I have been living in Toronto for more than 6 years, the last time I went back was 2019, I am missing there so much, I love my country, I love the local people. However, I must to stay in Canada, this is my life schedule, I need to improve myself as a grad. but in one day in my middle age, I definitely will go back to the place where I stem from, my root, and the source of my memory.
thanks for your share in my town Taiyuan. short live ok, but long live here not a good idea just as my opinion. there is some Structured Problem. every Taiyuaner know this. But just for tourist, it is a wonderful city.

Oh man this is my hometown! Great video and looking forward to more trips/videos to the north!
Taiyuan's local specialities include:
Tomato egg noodles (Chinese: 西红柿炒鸡蛋面; pinyin: xīhóngshì chǎo jīdàn miàn; lit. 'noodles with tomato and scrambled eggs')
Tijian (剔尖; tī jiān; 'scraped noodles')
Dao Xiao noodles (刀削面; dāo xiāo miàn)
Tounao (头脑; tóu nǎo; 'brain-enhancing soup'): Contains mutton, rice wine and vegetables in the soup. This dish was first created by Chinese polymath Fu Shan, who was proficient in medicine, for his old and illness-ridden mother as a food substitute for the ancient medicine Bazhen Tang (literally "Soup of Eight Treasures") using only locally available food materials that have similar effects as the original medicine.[53]
Lao Chen Cu mature vinegar (老陈醋; lǎo chén cù)
Yuci Flour Sausage (榆次灌肠; Yú Cì guàn cháng)
Fried Pork with vegetables (过油肉; guò yóu ròu)
Mutton Soup (羊肉汤; yángròu tāng)
Thanks! The next video will be about noodles!

Awesome video. Love it. Keep the videos coming! Can't wait to get back into China!
Thanks for sharing this amazing video, I am the Chinese who’s from yuci, the small town super close to taiyuan, I have been living in Toronto for more than 6 years, the last time I went back was 2019, I am missing there so much, I love my country, I love the local people. However, I must to stay in Canada, this is my life schedule, I need to improve myself as a grad. but in one day in my middle age, I definitely will go back to the place where I stem from, my root, and the source of my memory.
Thanks for sharing!
感谢你宣传我的家乡 祝福你平安快乐 也欢迎更多的朋友 了解太原 了解山西
Respect and subscribe！👍
作为一个陕西人，我真心希望陕西山西和河南三省可以在文化上良性竞争擦出巨大的文化火花弘扬中华文化。
You remind me of James McAvoy from X-Men 😂
Excellent presentation !! Thank you.
别撇的太过了哈，我一个太原的都看不下去了！😂😂😂
thanks for your share in my town Taiyuan. short live ok, but long live here not a good idea just as my opinion. there is some Structured Problem. every Taiyuaner know this. But just for tourist, it is a wonderful city.
Interesting!
Nice video
