Perhaps it is the only country in the world that can write the vision of "Long Live the Great Unity of the People of the World" on its landmark buildings.~~~China.
Your Welcome. October probably won’t be so hot 🥵. There were some good highlights from Beijing. I’ll start working on the next China Vlog next up. Hopefully 🤞 I can it done quicker than the last one.
Going with Tripadeal next week to China. Just wondering what opportunities there are to grab snacks/drinks along the way; and how expensive are meals in the evening in China? Thanks for the vlog!
Days are long, but there were pit stops for opportunities to eat especially given we did 3 bullet trains we had time while waiting- I think the first day was the longest between opportunities to grab something to eat. At night some of the hotels had restaurants or places to eat near by. I didn’t really eat at night ( I was sick for some of it & I just ate the snacks that I’d purchased) - Eat up at breakfast- which is included. You definitely don’t starve. Have fun on your trip
Travelling around China need to get up bed as early as you can to catch up , arrive your destination to avoid rush hours and crowded..... Have fun ... 👍👍👍💖💖
Thank you for your comments. I’m not so good with any history or in depth info related to a place but I do like to provide my in the moment vibe so I hoe it was informative- thanks for watching
@@kiwilisaoutandabout1320 Thanks. A lot. With. Detailed reply. Hope. We keep. Watching. Your. V log. And. Visit. That. Country. Virtual by. Ur detail tour
Hiya, thank you for your vlog, it’s great! So pleased I found your vlogs! Woah massive storm, well weathered!! Do you know what the people who didn’t do the optional tours did? Did they get driven back to the hotel? Can you opt out of the commercial visits! Sit outside perhaps?
Hi Hermoine, I commented on the other vlog. Thanks for watching. You don’t opt out of the commercial visits but can wait outside ( I skipped right through the silk factory- but did have to wait outside in the heat ) Skipping tours are possible but sometimes you have to wait ( free time to yourself while others participate) Others we leave from the hotel so those ones are better. And the others everyone joined in. I think there was 1 that may have posed an issue but I think the tour leader talked them into it. And I didn’t do the night cruise in Shanghai ( I’d run out of cash & you can’t use a card to pay) I just walked down to the riverside for about 45 mins while they did the 1 hour cruise ( a little bit of a walk around the boat cruise terminal but it is accessible)
Just got back from this trip & it was full on! Still pretty hot over there! Definitely bring lots of yuan or A$2,000 to cover the optional tours & gratuities Flight arrived after midnight & got to hotel at 3am, most of the hotels are far away from downtown Definitely need a day to recover from flight before tour Two bullet train rides plus a domestic flight took up a lot of the time! Cheap package but a lot of hidden costs Loved the Golden Mask & ERA shows & we met some lovely people in our group
Hi Lynda, hope you enjoyed it. Yes totally full on. We got the 3 bullet trains - 1/2 our group got the 2 bullet trains & the flight. And yes I kinda ran out of money but had enough to scrap by no spending & missed the last tour - it’s kinda a tour where you get a real fast paced glimpse of China ( and for me it will be my first & only visit- a great bargain but plenty more travel destinations on my list to tick off so no second visit to China for )
@@kiwilisaoutandabout1320 yep I totally agree with you that it got quite expensive with the optional tours! We did all because we knew we won’t be coming back to China as we have other places on our bucket lists🤞 Too much cramped in 10days plus we felt the package should give us a free day to recover from flight especially arriving so late into the night I probably wouldn’t recommend any package deals unless you get at least 2 days in each stop We’d rather stayed on in Xian than go to Zhengzhou A lot of wasted time travelling between cities It was only after watching your video we budgeted abit more to cover the extras🤭
@lyndapark6971 I’m glad my video was useful, I’m not generally a big spender ( got sucked into a couple of purchases at those places they took us too- normally it’s just a fridge magnet plus food for me - but I’ll pay for experiences because yes i probably won’t go back )
We are going in October on the same deal. You mentioned in the other video about the breakfasts but how did you go with the Lunches/nighttime meals ? did you generally eat at the hotel or did you venture out to local restaurants ( assuming they were open when you got back !! )
Hi, on some days they took you to places that included lunch/or they stopped where you could buy something. For dinner ( I never needed to eat dinner - as I’d had plenty to eat -snack wise but there were restaurants at some of the hotels or places close by that you could eat or at least buy something) thanks for watching
Hi, Thanks so much for your review and cant wait to seE your up coming clips for the trip. Could you please have your review to the dinner places that they recommended to go cuz seem like hotels provided fr the tour a bit far from centre city, malls n shops .Thanks in advance for your honest eview 😊
Geeze this part of the tour maybe I pay no attention as most times I fill up on the daily breakfast ( but I was a little under the weather so didn’t really eat at dinner time ) in saying that some of the hotels had restaurants and I think there were some places recommended on other days but I’m not a big dinner eater- normally just a snack buyer during the day & if I’m hungry eat snacks.
It was a bargain right. Link in description for the tour I did. 2 for 1 Warriors was on special at the time $2799 for 2 people 12 days, flights accommodation & all transport

Chinese is the only written language one can write from left to right, right to left, or from top to bottom.

July is not a good season to travel in Beijing. It is hot extremely. Late October is the best
Yes it was Hot, especially climbing those steps at the Great Wall. 😅
@@kiwilisaoutandabout1320And it's the Chinese school holiday in July and August. Chinese families will be full of all the tourist attractions.

Hi Lisa l, when you took the express pass option into Forbidden City i.e. no bags, were you allowed to take hats? It looked so hot without shade 😎

Do yo u think it is much easier to use cable coming up and walk down?
Hi Hannah, we didn’t have that option. The tour took us to the less touristy spot Juyong Pass so didn’t have a cable.
Come to China, The first thing is eat, Delicious food, second the delicious foods, third High speed railway and maglev train.
Hi, thanks for watching. Definitely did a few high speed trains to get around
