China is a best kept secret travel destination it has vibrant cities with lot's of energy, amazing beautiful scenic places, its affordable and great value, its safe and modern.
It is important to make sure your children develop their judgement on matters happening around them, instead of mislead by the media. Bring them along on a worldwide tour is the starting problem to achieve this.
I moved from Germany to Hong Kong, 🇭🇰 China 🇨🇳 1989 and I have never regret. Found my love here and we have 2 beautiful kid's. Having experienced China 🇨🇳 grow and prosper the last 34 years is the best that could happen to me. And I see China today exactly the same as you and your beautiful family ❤🎉👍 But being able and knowing China in 1989 and today is an additional gift for me.
Besides school education, one of the best ways to educate children is through traveling. Thank you for visiting and enjoying your trip to China. And most of all, thank you for sharing your beautiful video footages to the world because sharing is caring. We certainly appreciate your love from China.
I've been to China and I can vouch for all that you've said. I was blown away at how advanced China is (and I've been to USA ... China leaves USA well behind in Civic Infrastructures and affordable Civic Services). It is a rich, clean, friendly country where you can walk around 24/7 and feel safe where ever you go. I could NOT say the same thing for USA.
I've been to China more than 50 times over the past 20 Years. If you like Nature and Culture, these 4 Provinces you must Visit I kept going back - Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and GuangXi. Next would be ShaanXi (Xi An) and ShanXi. And if you are Adventurous and want the WOW factor - Tibet and Xinjiang.
@@our-travel-journal As Foreigners We'll Need a Tibet Travel Permit. Easiest Way is to Join A Tour, although I managed to get it via a Travel Agent Friend and then did our Private Tour. Mountains that are at least 7000m Tall, Bluish Lakes, Monestries, Pilgrims that walked for Months and Pray Throwing Themselves to the Earth along the Highways, Yaks, Tibetan Mastiff, and standing in the Middle of Kekexili knowing you're the Only Human There within 200km Radius. That's My Wow Factors.
@@supriadiramlan5545 Yes actually one my favourite trip was to the Yellow Earth Plateau up north along the Yellow River. Unfortunately most of the hundred miles of Yellow Earth had been planted with Trees 😔
@@spencer7404 you are talking about your dream. I am scared to live in china. There's no freedom in china. I have bad experience in china. So I have decided not to go there anymore.
See how socialism and communism care and provide for the people, instead of Western capitalism only cares for the interest of the top 1% rich elites!!!!
Excellent travelogue! You have clearly done a lot of research about Shanghai and China and this is much appreciated. Thank you also for your objective reporting! Safe travels with your family!
Aus euren Worten spricht eine ganze Menge Wehmut. Wie gut ich das verstehen kann. Aber ihr seid noch jung und die Welt wird uns hoffentlich auch noch viel länger offen stehen!!! ❤
In fact, what's even more incredible is that China has over 100 cities that don't look much different from Shanghai (aside from the CBD areas). For example, you can check out this aerial video of the China's Top 50 cities: ua-cam.com/video/GZgNTjFqKMg/v-deo.html. China operates under state capitalism + market economy + freer trade than the U.S. (the U.S. bans Chinese cars and communication equipment, but China doesn't) + helping the poor and impoverished provinces (the communist/socialist part). You can Google 'Top 100 highest bridges' and see the first two search results: 90 of the world's top 100 bridges are in China, and 60 of them are in Guizhou, one of China's poorest provinces. The efforts China makes for its poor provinces and poor people are truly remarkable; I could talk about it all day. It is shameful that the West calls the Communist Party of China an evil government, just because the Chinese government can't stand the smears from the West and the people are brainwashed by the West, so it controls the Internet and bans Western media. I hope more people can understand the truth: What a great achievement the Chinese government has made for its people.

The retail scene in Shanghai is much much more than just Nanjing east road. Nanjing east road is like time square for New York, just for the tourists. Nanjing west road is where the real retails happen as well as all the much more interesting boutiques in the tree lined former French concession 😊
Welcome to Chengdu, the hometown of pandas. Western Sichuan also has beautiful scenery. Siguniang Mountain, Jiuzhaigou. Yunnan Province are also good choices, with Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Dali Ancient Town, and Erhai Lake. but some places are at high altitudes, I don’t know if they are suitable for childrens😂
❤ Well, the kids had no problem with altitudes of 4000m in Nepal or on the Kilimanjaro in Africa but Alpay & me need to get used to lower oxygen levels starting around 3000 or 3500m😅

No war, an actual gov't that care about its 98%, a focus on development, trade and poverty alleviation and mistakes and corrections along the way = present day China. Also, hard working working with investment in education. Confucian / Buddhist principles that focuses on harmony... unlike other beliefs / religious systems whose leaders create conflicts. 💡☯
We agree. And it reminds us of something a guide in Vietnam told us: „we just hope that all governments would set the right priorities … for no civilian wants to fight“
Really enjoyed watching your vlog on Shanghai, my home town and so glad you had a magnificent time there. I’m sure you will be able to enjoy more when you come back to explore the rural areas of China and other big cities too. Your positive experience you shared with others will definitely prove that western media is just bad propaganda which aims to cover their years of lies on China.
The cities in China are not western but modern… western cities are archaic and historic, like Rome, Paris, London, Milan … Chinese cities are futuristic. And the people are civil.. looking forward to your South Korean trip.
Excellently made video. I have fun watching your family's journeys. China is the most friendly country for family travel indeed. You can't expect this level of safety in my country of Thailand. Congratulations to your family indeed. Best wishes from Thailand

9:00 There's a reason why the west puts a 100% tariff on chinese EV when you can see them placing their cars along side with Teslas without any worries
Today China is a land of dream and fantasy for all, children and adults both. Their cleanliness and public discipline can be matters of envy for any city of the world. Best wishes to both of you and your kids . Happy traveling.
China is so big and diverse, Shanghai is fine and shine, but we also have cozy and calm smaller cities, hope you guys can get chances to see more of them. Welcome to China! 🎉
Like following your eyes to tour Shanghai in a casual way, Expecting more of your videos to show the variety of different places in China in the future, its cultures, everyday life, attractions, etc..
If the belt and road system started. China as a main hub for the trading would be even great. Is really good for the future generations. I wish them all the best. At least their leader willing to cooperate with the world instead of war.
Dear friends planning to come to China, I suggest you take the time to travel to the smaller towns in the mainland. The food and scenery there are better, and the people are more genuine and hospitable. The big cities, with their steel and concrete, have little to offer in terms of beauty. The food there is also commercialized, which I personally don't enjoy. You are all welcome to come to China
Thank you for your objective evaluation of Shanghai and China. The Chinese are not rich but not poor. The greatest advantage of China is security, which does not need to be flattered or discredited. Congratulations on unlocking Shanghai, one of hundreds of cities in China. I hope you will come back as soon as possible. Are you confident of unlocking 100 cities in China?
Welcome to Shanghai, China to shows those remarkable places on the streets in great joy & peace in Asia 2024❤❤❤I really LOVE this great video in great joy @ home 2024❤❤❤
Strangely, a channel under the name China Undercover almost always portrayed Shanghai is on the brink of collapsing. Its video contents are about desolated Shanghai street, shoos, and factories. That unemployment is soaring, young people crying in despair, and so on, why is that?
As a Chinese and Shanghai local, I would say channels like "China Undercover" or "China Uncensored" are always faking the news. The pictures they used are either heavily post-processed or are just pictures from incorrect time and location. They do that clickbait people that China is falling apart to make money out of it. Although the unemployment situation is pretty bad here in China, but far from "crying in despair". There are also various government plans to reconstruct or renovate old parts of a city for further development（拆迁）, to do that the government usually pays the original local residents a compensation fee (usually around $1 million in central Shanghai) in exchange for the "ownership" of these old residences and shops. Once the process is completed and everybody's moved out, that's when these old towns may appear to be empty and dislocated, while the truth is these places are just sitting there for further plans to be redeveloped.
It’s easier 😉 Next time we also want to go to more rural areas but in a city it’s easier to get around (no need for a car), find food that the kids like or are willing to try, …
You are right. I blame my upbringing where we always heard either „capitalism“ or „communism“, left or right, right or wrong, black or white … finding the grey or even colorful is sometimes still a challenge 🙈
if you like cosmopolitan megacities, shanghai is cool but there are so many better places to visit. even nearby, you can visit hangzhou, suzhou, and nanjing which are all 1 hr high speed rail from each other and from shanghai. obviously you want to see shanghai, but I would have spent the bulk of available time sharing it between those 3 cities than shanghai 😂. marco polo once wrote hangzhou is the most beautiful city in china and there are many natural scene hikes you can take there. suzhou has a huge ancient canal system. there is an chinese proverb - the sky has heaven, the earth has hangzhou and suzhou 😉. nanjing was also once the capital and has an ancient history. there is also a famous german commemorated there - a nazi in fact who saved hundreds of thousands of lives during the japanese invasion. other places everyone will say is of course beijing, but because there are many government offices there, new travelers might find it annoying going through all the security checkpoints near the center of the city. yes there are many famous places to see, but with that there will be huge crowds so if you plan to go to beijing, go during off season when it's a little more cold if you want to avoid the crowds. xian is also a nice place, ancient capital and start of the silk road. there's a lot of muslim influence and the terracotta warriors are nearby as is huashan if you want to do some insane mountain hiking. almost any place you go will be like half the cost of shanghai in most cases so it's more budget friendly and more authentic because I see you are eating a lot of street/food court stuff in tourist locations lol. go to any local restaurant and order 3-4 dishes with some rice on the side. you can have a very good meal for a family of 5 for 10-15 euros.
@@our-travel-journal John H. D. Rabe, who joined the Nazi Party, came to China in 1908, but he was anti-war and was merely an accountant for Siemens. In the Japanese invasion of China during World War II, the Japanese killed over 300,000 ordinary Chinese citizens in Nanjing alone. However, Mr. Rabe saved over 250,000 Chinese citizens in Nanjing before and during that time, otherwise the death toll might have been even higher! He was truly great! He was a friend of the Chinese people, and we will always remember him! The post is very good, but I have always been reluctant to put the term "Nazi" and Mr. Rabe together! Sorry!
15:00 China has a lot to offer When it comes to nature sceneries. For beginners Zhangjiajie is a good start. Your kids will love to see hundreds of pandas in the preservation center in Chengdu. If you come during winter time Harbin winter festival is a good destination.
Glad that you enjoyed Shanghai. Please let more Germans know about China! I watched the DW news just yesterday, a random German guy being interviewed on the street said that China wouldn't be his first choice because it's place "you can visit and see 'interesting' things, but it wouldn't be a place to relax and vacation because it has a different social system". I wish he comes to China and see how people here actually live!!
I am Chinese, first of all welcome you to my magical country, the people here are very friendly, we have a long history, these histories are like rivers constantly depositing the sand and gravel of civilization, educating us that we need to be warm and friendly to our guests, I believe You feel it too, and I hope this trip to China can clear up many misunderstandings. China does not need perfection, but it needs the truth. I hope you have fun and have a safe journey. If anyone still says that you are being sponsored, then what is sponsoring you is only a small gift, which is the warmth, kindness and kindness from thousands of years of civilization.
The so-called "seeing is not as good as seeing, and seeing is not as good as experiencing". The 144-hour visa-free transit policy allows you to enjoy beautiful scenery, delicious food, kindness and sincerity, and enjoy all kinds of beautiful things in the world.

上海提供的税收，会用来建设中西部落后地区，建设公路桥梁学校等等，帮助当地人民脱粒贫困，这是中国特色共产主义才会做的事情
我来自西北。当建设火电厂把电力通过“西电东送”送往上海的同时，把火电造成的空气污染留给了当地。对此我们有意见，但我们也能理解。因为这些电力可以支持东部发展，同时我们也得到了通过中央转移支付而来的东部资金也获得发展。甘蔗没有两头甜，我们需要发展，也需要做出牺牲。所以，我们支持东部发展，也希望能够有更多更清洁能源，比如建设在戈壁的太阳能板和风车，这样可以给我们一个干净的环境。为此，我们为上海而高兴，也对我们的家乡充满希望。
希望旅行者看到上海发展的同时，也能够理解中国的“东-西”平衡发展的理念，更希望这种理念能够被更多的人理解。这对建设人类命运共同体，非常重要。

A loving family
Yes, been to Shanghai 19 times in the last 8 years- mind boggling

아름다운 영상 잘 봤습니다.🎉🎉
It was nice, have a good time
Shanghai is not more western than western countries, it’s just the way people think the west should be. Shanghai is in the future
Or maybe the present?😉
Great video! Love it!
Love your comment ❤
Shanghai has more than ten luxury shopping malls, Nanjing road is not one of them, it’s mainly for tourists.
最后一段好伤感 有时间了随时 欢迎你们一家来中国旅游

If the belt and road system started. China as a main hub for the trading would be even great.
Is really good for the future generations.
I wish them all the best.
At least their leader willing to cooperate with the world instead of war.
The international hotel the Radisson where i stayed is right next to Nanjing road..
Dear friends planning to come to China, I suggest you take the time to travel to the smaller towns in the mainland. The food and scenery there are better, and the people are more genuine and hospitable. The big cities, with their steel and concrete, have little to offer in terms of beauty. The food there is also commercialized, which I personally don't enjoy. You are all welcome to come to China
Thank you 🥰 we will come back!
Welcome to China ❤🎉
Thank you for your objective evaluation of Shanghai and China. The Chinese are not rich but not poor. The greatest advantage of China is security, which does not need to be flattered or discredited. Congratulations on unlocking Shanghai, one of hundreds of cities in China. I hope you will come back as soon as possible. Are you confident of unlocking 100 cities in China?
We just need the time 😅🙌
Amazing place and people
Welcome to Shanghai, China to shows those remarkable places on the streets in great joy & peace in Asia 2024❤❤❤I really LOVE this great video in great joy @ home 2024❤❤❤
Thank you!😊 We really appreciate your support!❤️
Enjoy watching your video about China.
Happy to hear that!☺️
I really envy you that you can travel around with your children. .
😘
Strangely, a channel under the name China Undercover almost always portrayed Shanghai is on the brink of collapsing. Its video contents are about desolated Shanghai street, shoos, and factories. That unemployment is soaring, young people crying in despair, and so on, why is that?
When a channel keep show negative and no positive contents then it is BS just like many western news.
Exaggerating sells, I guess?🤷♀️
And if you look for it, you’ll always find a negative side, too. But the opposite is the case aswell 😉
US has allocated a few billions, I repeat, a few billions of USD to fund negative propaganda, or rather, fake news on China.😢
they film before the stores are open in the morning lol
As a Chinese and Shanghai local, I would say channels like "China Undercover" or "China Uncensored" are always faking the news. The pictures they used are either heavily post-processed or are just pictures from incorrect time and location. They do that clickbait people that China is falling apart to make money out of it. Although the unemployment situation is pretty bad here in China, but far from "crying in despair". There are also various government plans to reconstruct or renovate old parts of a city for further development（拆迁）, to do that the government usually pays the original local residents a compensation fee (usually around $1 million in central Shanghai) in exchange for the "ownership" of these old residences and shops. Once the process is completed and everybody's moved out, that's when these old towns may appear to be empty and dislocated, while the truth is these places are just sitting there for further plans to be redeveloped.
Wow!好city!
China not only has cities, but also various landscapes. It is very strange that foreigners only travel to China's cities.
It’s easier 😉
Next time we also want to go to more rural areas but in a city it’s easier to get around (no need for a car), find food that the kids like or are willing to try, …

我来自中国，我们把上海称为“初学者村”，类似于游戏的起点。
I don't understand why people keep saying China is communism. China is Socialism !
You are right. I blame my upbringing where we always heard either „capitalism“ or „communism“, left or right, right or wrong, black or white … finding the grey or even colorful is sometimes still a challenge 🙈
What's in a name, doesn't matter. It's what the nation truly is that matters.
This is no longer the most important thing, it's just a synonym.
if you like cosmopolitan megacities, shanghai is cool but there are so many better places to visit. even nearby, you can visit hangzhou, suzhou, and nanjing which are all 1 hr high speed rail from each other and from shanghai. obviously you want to see shanghai, but I would have spent the bulk of available time sharing it between those 3 cities than shanghai 😂. marco polo once wrote hangzhou is the most beautiful city in china and there are many natural scene hikes you can take there. suzhou has a huge ancient canal system. there is an chinese proverb - the sky has heaven, the earth has hangzhou and suzhou 😉. nanjing was also once the capital and has an ancient history. there is also a famous german commemorated there - a nazi in fact who saved hundreds of thousands of lives during the japanese invasion.
other places everyone will say is of course beijing, but because there are many government offices there, new travelers might find it annoying going through all the security checkpoints near the center of the city. yes there are many famous places to see, but with that there will be huge crowds so if you plan to go to beijing, go during off season when it's a little more cold if you want to avoid the crowds. xian is also a nice place, ancient capital and start of the silk road. there's a lot of muslim influence and the terracotta warriors are nearby as is huashan if you want to do some insane mountain hiking. almost any place you go will be like half the cost of shanghai in most cases so it's more budget friendly and more authentic because I see you are eating a lot of street/food court stuff in tourist locations lol. go to any local restaurant and order 3-4 dishes with some rice on the side. you can have a very good meal for a family of 5 for 10-15 euros.
@@ivyshy98 wow, so many great recommendations!!!😍 Thank you so very much!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
@@our-travel-journal John H. D. Rabe, who joined the Nazi Party, came to China in 1908, but he was anti-war and was merely an accountant for Siemens. In the Japanese invasion of China during World War II, the Japanese killed over 300,000 ordinary Chinese citizens in Nanjing alone. However, Mr. Rabe saved over 250,000 Chinese citizens in Nanjing before and during that time, otherwise the death toll might have been even higher! He was truly great! He was a friend of the Chinese people, and we will always remember him! The post is very good, but I have always been reluctant to put the term "Nazi" and Mr. Rabe together! Sorry!
多謝你的客觀評語
Great vlog!
Thank you 😊
Safe and Harmony.That’s enough
15:00 China has a lot to offer When it comes to nature sceneries. For beginners Zhangjiajie is a good start. Your kids will love to see hundreds of pandas in the preservation center in Chengdu. If you come during winter time Harbin winter festival is a good destination.
Thanks for the tips!!! They are highly appreciated 🙏❤️
Qindao city.. Very nice to enjoy or vacation... Steady..
Hope you will visit Chungqing, Beijing, Dali ,Xiamen next time.

Welcome to China🇨🇳, I am from Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, and I hope you will come to Shenzhen
We will, at some point for sure!
@@our-travel-journal Welcome at any time, Shenzhen is also one of the four first-tier cities in China❤️
Glad that you enjoyed Shanghai. Please let more Germans know about China! I watched the DW news just yesterday, a random German guy being interviewed on the street said that China wouldn't be his first choice because it's place "you can visit and see 'interesting' things, but it wouldn't be a place to relax and vacation because it has a different social system". I wish he comes to China and see how people here actually live!!
It will take time to change perceptions but the visa-free approach is the right way, we believe 😊
China is a peaceful and pleasant country.
Good 🎉
Super modern
Super kapitalis und
Super sauber 👍
China hat viel zu bieten außer Shanghai
💯
Please visit Dali and Lijiang!
I am Chinese, first of all welcome you to my magical country, the people here are very friendly, we have a long history, these histories are like rivers constantly depositing the sand and gravel of civilization, educating us that we need to be warm and friendly to our guests, I believe You feel it too, and I hope this trip to China can clear up many misunderstandings. China does not need perfection, but it needs the truth. I hope you have fun and have a safe journey. If anyone still says that you are being sponsored, then what is sponsoring you is only a small gift, which is the warmth, kindness and kindness from thousands of years of civilization.
What a great analogy! Thank you for taking the time to comment and welcoming us in China!🤗
