We decided to go travelling and ended up living getting stuck in Malaysia during 2020 which spurred the creation of this channel, we're now back on the road after a lengthy hiatus!

Friday and Saturday are super crowded, so try Monday or Tuesday night to go out again if you have the time, suggest you walk along the river bank at night for 2 hours very very beautiful there!!
Wow 😮, the subway ticket in China costs only 1/12th of the price of the $3 NYC subway ticket. In fact, considering that the Chinese subway systems primarily use fast trains, it's actually only 1/25th of the cost of a NYC subway ticket, which is $7 per ride for fast train.
This clip debunks some of western media's smearing on China force labour to produce low cost products and services. They never elaborate the differences in productivity and efficiency between China and the west
These are all public facilities in China.
They are all subsidized by the government. Most public transportation companies are also losing money.
But the Chinese government believes that heavily subsidizing public transportation can speed up mobility and create more economic benefits for ordinary people.
@@rogerzhang5417 您是中国通~
@@rogerzhang5417it did indeed.
chongqing gets mostly local tourists so foreigners deep into china are a rare spectacle. plus you were eating and I'd imagine locals would be curious if you like their food.
You cannot beat transportation costs in China. Prices are GREAT! Thank you for the videos
a lot of people out, yes include You n Her and Me, n Them, we r all tourist n local hehe.
目前都是亏本运营，政府承担
The infrastructure in the UK is crumbling and falling apart, not to mention the subway in NYC, which is like a hellhole compared to China's subway.
And that is the truth - well said
It's EVERYWHERE across the USofA.
I was on an elevated highway in California and the congestion brought the traffic to a halt.
While waiting for the traffic to start moving I was glancing around and then noticed to my left that the concrete on the crash wall had crumbled away exposing the rebar.
Ths was the middleish 2000s and that crumbled crash wall was finally replaced sometime in the earlyish 2010s.
well... Ukraine knows better how the money is spent or overseas American puppets a.k.a Chinese internalised racists knows better, ohh.. lockheed's pocket knows even better.
d good thing is no pickpocket or people pee ing on street etc2
@@linwoodhucse628 did they have a principle that everything only built once?
why house price doesn't fall since they only need to count for the increased population. it's not like the population doubles every year, right?
It's built for the people by the by the people's government not commercial 🎉
if you see the metro station in Shenzen its like a SCFI movie,very futuristic,inflation in China is 0.05%
通缩
@@user-my2bc8cs4d nothing wrong with deflation
I'm glad to see that you two are enjoying and relaxing this trip more and more.❤
Glad to see you guys found the vegetarian buffet, you may search 素食自助 in the map APP in any big city，remember that China has a huge vegetarian population. Good luck
Oooh that useful!
It is the start of summer vacation in China rn, it is time for family trips for many people. Thats why everywhere is so crowded😂
Chinese cities are more friendly to the people because Chinese people don’t like to pretend to be superior.As you said, Chinese people don't like to show off their cities and scenery, because everyone feels there is nothing worth showing off. Be a low-key person and do things in a low-key manner.
16:43 Yes, Chongqing is utterly stunning.
Love it and going back for third time this year in Sept.
@@ralphzoombeenie2330 Enjoy your trip to Chongqing then.
Bro, enjoy every video you have posted. Enjoy your travels in China.
It is the summer school break months, so more families are traveling. One Chongqing city population is equivalent to Hungarian country population
More than Australian population in one city yet it works safely, efficiently and affordably.
China not only has cities, but also natural scenery. It's very strange that Westerners only travel to China's cities.
China has world-class cities, world-class historical sites and world-class sceneries, basically world-class everything. But what most of the Westerners are visiting are just some top-tier cities.
能把城市玩明白就不错了 毕竟第一次来 有外国人在游中国的农村
人家来一次不容易这么多城市还看不完就去什么农村多浪费时间金钱，他们喜欢中国的话他们会再来去中国的农村，而且农村蚊子特别多他们未必喜欢。
其實跟團體旅遊的行程都是去看自然風景，反而不會進入城市，我在風景區就有看到西方團體遊客，但他們不是UA-camr，多半不會將過程拍攝成影片。
认识一个国家从城市开始，怎么一到中国就不去城市了？不去中国的城市怎知道中国的发展，很多外国人还以为中国还是古人在乡村打太极呢。
Happy to see you picked up a vegetarian buffet restaurant in China and enjoyed it :)
If you prefer light food, as a Cantonese, I suggest you go to GuangZhou
Chungking was the British romanization of the name and you may misremember it with famous HK director Wong Kar Wei's auteur movie Chungking Express since Hong Kong still uses the British Romanization. Extra tip when you see "Q" in mainland China, just pronounce it as if you see "Ch".
but why it does spell as Chongching then ?
There is a difference between Ch and Q.
It is not exactly ch.
@@ciditan1615汉语拼音：庆qing，重chong。Jay Chou=Jay Zhou ，周zhou
this isn't fair, why tf are we paying $3 in the US, the trains are like shitholes
We feel the same in the UK - £6.70 in London!
but u have freedom😂😂😂😂freedom need money!
😮😮😮😮
@@gogo-goboyChinese look pretty free in the video
Freedom price 😂😂😂
I love chongqing too！ There are many beautiful scenery.such as XiaHaoLi that is chill with many kinds of coffee and branches. Moreover.chongqing not only have hotpot but also have other delicious foods like pig feet soup and spicy rabbits.sounds wired but i swear it's fxxking yummy.
Hahaha, love this!!
welcome to chongqing，enjoy the food。
In Chongqing, people with poor spatial sense are likely to get lost, right? This is the legendary 8D city. You think you are on the 10th floor, but you are actually still in the basement.
wooow, friends, I never thought that I will meet you here again. we met at Hongyadong, Chongqing. Do you remember that? I asked that what brand of your small camera? It am so amazing to see you guys again by way of video! Hope you have a happy trip in China.
Hahaha! Small world, that's so funny, hope you're keeping well?! Chongqing was amazing! Hope everything is good in Shanghai!
Enjoy the hustle and bustle of China, this is how Chinese people roll, it's like Nanjing Road in Shanghai every day, but with better view. Good thing is you can always catch up with nice drink and food, enjoy ;)
Hahaha true!
bro,you should meet alex in chongqing
Wow, loved seeing your experience on the world’s cheapest metro! If you haven’t been to Yunnan yet, you should definitely check it out. The landscapes and cultural experiences there are amazing. Keep up the great work!
Oooh, we want to go to Yunnan!
Dazzled by the video's content , but the thumbnail left me wanting more. Leveraging my 2+ years as a graphic design ninja , I crafted a new thumbnail that better reflects the video's vibe. Thanks :))
1:30 Chungking is Cantonese and Chongqing is Mandarin. When the British ruled Hong Kong, they translated Chinese city names using Cantonese, not Mandarin. Hence, Beijing was called Peking which is Cantonese.
When tourist experience the crowd people on weekend in China street, you will understand why police need to set a lot of cameras on street.
I feel safe under cameras.
hello!I'm from China 🇨🇳.I'm delighted to watch this video on UA-cam,and I want to share your this video to Bilibili (a popular video platform in China ),and I'll add Chinese and English subtitles.besides,I will add the original source in introduction If you agree to my reprint❤
Fighting the crowd to see a light rail train is silly, but it's part of the experience. 😂
Thank you for this very informative video
The way you're dressed should be January-2 months ago. If you are in Chongqing right now, which is experiencing very severe floods, many buildings near the water are submerged, I would really like you to stay and see the prosperity and the disaster of this country, and see how fast the Chinese people are working to deal with natural disasters.
Many bloggers have taken pictures of Chongqing. I think you are all wrong. The tourist value of this city is embodied in the mix of ancient and modern skyscrapers and old buildings, the best urban night view in China from the South Mountain of Chongqing, and the unique delicious food of Chongqing. Enjoy beautiful views of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River from Chongqing to Hubei Province, and steep karst landscapes from the expressway from Chongqing to Hunan Province. The tourist value of this city is very high, your blog content is too shallow.
Summer school holiday now. You will see more crowd.
一定要去洪崖洞❤❤❤
unbelievable $179. Does London force citizens walk for fitness？
❤❤❤
Nice video
You can visit Taikoo Li Sanlitun or Shi cha hai in the evening in Beijing.

暑假开始了，旅游热季，白天太热人不多，但是晚上……那个人流量真的是很吓人的。而且去新疆的路都能堵了，新疆出了名的地广，这都能堵车你想想……你们刚刚好在旅游旺季。
Your girlfriend is so beautiful, She would be very popular if she opened a channel😀😀😀
looks like you guys are having a grand ole time...
Amazing thanks share China 😋🍜and 🚇🚝🚇🚝🏙️🌃🌆🌇🌉
Chongqing city is like big maze. Ground lvl can be 22 floor. And to go 33 floor you have to go through 2 - 3 buildings. 😂😂 Its really amazing how china build this city in this mountainous region.
❤
welcome to China
your girlfriend is such a cool girl，she don't say anything if you don‘t ask her
radzy comment tourism and from dia reply radzy hi radzy thanks for watching
🎉🎉
generally，vegetables are cheaper than meat in China. it's not difficult to find nice and decently priced vegetable dishes. 😊
True, you're limited though. Not everyone does dumplings etc for vegetarians
Surprised to see so many vegetarian options in China.
nice
Surprisingly, the metro station isn't as crowded as I expect it to be considering it's China. Nice evening walk though.. .enjoyed that.
get mushroom hotpot
is it easy to find cheap vegan cuisin china? thank you!!
It's tricky to find, but you can ask and find some - you're limited in what you can eat - but people can cater for you
@@VeggiesOnTour thank you!
The guesture korean?haha
There is “Overcapacity” everywhere in food, transports and everyday products . Prices are so incredibility cheap that the West can only dream of but blame it for threatening its industry. China government cares enough to make cost of living and public transport n facility affordable to the poor n rich alike, including foreign visitors.
Authoritarian China seems to be doing a better job than most free countries in serving its masses. Perhaps the less privileged class in the Free West should be more assertive that its entitlement to cheaper products is not denied by its government on false pretenses.
👍👍👍💝💃🕺🎊🇨🇳💪
I think Mexico city subway is cheaper than China. It's only 5 pesos per ride including transfer. That's about only ¥2 😊
有人才有意义。没有人会冷冷清清的。
Collapse这个词最近用的少了😂😂😂换成capacity了。。。
Patrick and giulia ada lagi new touristm Orang putih Ryan job ryanansaz travel
It might be bizarre for westerners to hear, but China’s system is for the people. While the western system is for the 1%, for the super rich.
True!
So sad that European train infrastructure is failing in training,hail the China training
这么热，还穿着外套，真的不怕热啊

Hi guys, have you heard of the news about fuel tank trucks that are used to carry cooking oils in China?
新加坡企业的金龙鱼吗？
重庆这个季节 就一点不好 太热了 但是看你的穿着 你应该不在中国了
do you feel isolated as no other tourist only you ??? Innocent question yaa
This is nothing compared to what's on offer in Shenzhen.
“Q” in pinyin is pronounced as “ts”. If you can’t pronounce that correctly then “ch” will be fine.
Oooh good to know!

first?

Hello, May I share the best news you've ever heard before? Jesus Christ came from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin.He was and is holy. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days. And then, the Heavenly Father raised Jesus (Y'shua Ha Mashiach) to life! He appeared to people and went back to heaven. If we want to truly be a child of God, we must genuinely receive Jesus. John 1:12 says: "But as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." Will you truely believe on Jesus and genuinely receive Him into your life right now?
You get affordable public transportation when your tax dollars are spent in the way the government promised to spend them
Why not come to the more developed Korea
Korea is lovely - we’ve been a few weeks back!
China has more attractions and things to see, experience and do. It is more diverse and caters for all types of people, also Chinese people are more friendly and welcoming. Korea is good too, but it's not in the same league.
你们韩国发达在哪里？？？你们的首都就像中国农村一样。韩国人真的太自负了。😢

太监是指 视频不完整
怎么不完整了？人家就是到处拍拍而已，又没跟你讲故事。你这思路也是活久见哪。

现在是暑假，孩子们全部放假了，所以是非常多人旅游，很繁忙
There isn’t much space for Chongqing,mountainous regions,that’s why all buildings located vertically.

欢迎来到中国，在这里你不需要花太多的钱，这里也没有通货膨胀。
中国现在对54国实施过境144小时免签，如果你的国家在这54国之内，你可以不需要签证来中国看看。这不会浪费你太多时间，更不会花你太多的钱。
欢迎光临。
