Wow, as a hotel lover I must say luxury hotels in China are way better than those in Europe and America, the size of room is more spacious generally starting from 45 sqm, the interior design is much better, as most of luxury hotels in China are in the newly-built building, you are more likely to enjoy panoramic views of cities with floor-to-ceiling windows, the construction standard in Asia is the highest, not to mention, always offer you the greatest value, much cheaper than Western luxury hotel. For example, take a look at Park Hyatt Paris (1500 euro per night with only 30sqm for regular room and very bad interior and view ) and Park Hyatt Hangzhou(only 350 euro, but 55s for regular room and you can enjoy panoramic view of the city on the high-rise buildings. So my genuine tips for hotel is never choose luxury hotel in the Europe and America, it’s not worth of money at all!!!
Shanghai's hotel is also very affordable compare to Europe and Japan, although Shanghai is more advanced than Bangkok, but their room rate are at same level@@k.k.c8670
There is always free breakfast in most good hotels in China unlike western hotels where you have to pay for it. The food in high end Chinese hotels is always out of the world.
Wow, what a luxurious hotel. It feels like a palace. The lighting is very intelligent. Hotels with the same price in Europe won't get such a good view and room, and Europe is just an ordinary room. The hotel also provides free food, which is impossible in Europe. It's hard to imagine, is this poor China? Western media always say that China is poor and backward, has no human rights, and has been in collapse. The flowers in the flower market are beautiful, and I like them very much. I am in a good mood when I see flowers.
West is jealous. They know they have lost to China badly and can't fathom it. China respects other human beings, luxury hotels owners in the west like to rip their customers and unwilling to provide ultimate luxury because they internally hate their customers and want to spite them.
$400 is so reasonable to have such massive hotel rooms!! And so good service, which I don’t think anywhere else would provide. Actually $400 per night here in Australia, there is no way you can get anywhere a decent room during holiday season.
I just looked up online, it’s just expensive during the Chinese New Year. Tomorrow, the regular room is only $100ish and their upgraded suite is only $130ish 😂😂
Great show, at a flick of my mind, I envisioned Shannon and Alan at 80 years old and talking about the experience here, an incredible journey of life. No matter what, it's worth it
Cant believe u guys visit my hometown! so sad I cant be ur tour guide cuz Im in Toronto now. Go Wuyi Rd station and explore the area, its the city centre and you can find old blocks there Shilin, Jiuxiang, Cuihu, Minzucun also worth a visit. the flower market u visited is the second largest flower market in the world, Kunming have unique climate that very suitable for growth flowers. For food, just advice, Kunming have lots of unique foods that u wont find outside of Yunnan, try those things you never see before, including four types of rice noodle acturally lots of local food are provided in ur hotel but u guys missed them, like 48:10 its one of the unique food from Kunming called shaoerkuai Welcome to Kunming and enjoy your trip! :)
Life's a journey , enjoy !!! Hope more & more westerners visit the real China. I'm disgusted at how often western media & politicians portray China in a very negative light. From S'pore 🇸🇬
Not $400 for one night of hotel but 24 hours at a 5-star resort for two people, including all you can drink and all you can eat meals (fine dining dinner) and a tour of the flower market. How wonderful! 🥰
I lived in Kunming for a few years and the city is well known for its flowers, and they do have one of the biggest flower markets in China. Beautiful city and beautiful province.
One thing to add this is just Sheraton，and just realize you booked it’s executive suite, not wonder you said it is 400 dollars, but actually it’s base room only cost 100 euro with 40 sqm much bigger than its UK counterparts. Next time let me know if you want to visit a luxury hotel in other Chinese cities as it will give you completely different and unprecedented experiences in your life!! With much much more affordable price compare to Europe
For Sheraton this kind of brank in Asia is the standard, you have to be over 50 sqm if your hotel is Ritz Carlton or St Regis, but in Europe, 50 sqm can be set a junior suite.@@peanut0brain

I'm so happy just watching you two lovely love birds having so much fun in my motherland. Thank for spreading positive vibes about China. As a Chinese American, I really appreciated for the video. Hello from Shenzhen, China.
Hope you have a good time in China, get to know China more fully, experience different environment, different life, no doubt more challenging, but life is like that, good luck.
Wow’s just $400 only, we stayed 7 years ago in London Kensington palace hotel n paid around $ 350 we paidnight, it was disgusting stink room couldn’t go inside and it was so small looks like pantry, I went straight to service desk n complained then I asked for refund money or organise better room then we waited nearly 3 hours then they provided room similar size but less stink but still smells carpet i never forget, service was shit.
So good to see you guys treat yourselves and comfort never hurts!😊 It looks like a great value to me considering what you have had. What you have paid here would probably get you a room a little bigger than a closet in Manhattan without the kind service from Crystal and Steven. I think Sheraton is a good brand. I stayed at their location in Chicago with much smaller room and the food selection was nowhere near as extensive as what you have had here. Most hotels wouldn't have prime-cut lamb on the self-serving table as it's expensive. Nicely done!😊
Wow that looked amazing, even better than our Singapore club room experience. I’m most impressed that you know my favourite flowers are lilies😍 love you guys and so happy you had a great time 😘xxx
So the price during Chinese New Year is crazy… I just looked up the regular tomorrow room is only ¥6-700which is $100ish, and the upgraded room you guys had is only 899, which is $120-130 ish😂😂 damn I hate traveling during Chinese New Year 😢😢
I am Chinese, live in HANGZHOU, if anyone wants to visit HANGZHOU, I could alway be your tourist guide（For FREE of course）to help you with the traffic, food and culture!JUST LET ME KNOW!elbowcough
Your food tasting is always my favourite, because both of you really have got good points of views, right to the core. although you are Scottish, you can immediately get the point, very gifted
Kunming's night markets are great. And Kunming also got best climate in the world, its highest temperature in summer is 25 degree most of the time, its winter is also not cold, the capital city with best climate.
Wow, you guys made it to Kunming, Yunnan. I believe that market you visited is the biggest flower market in Asia. Very nice hotel. Enjoy your visit to Yunnan and hope you can see some of the spectacular natural scenery of that province.
I Watch all your videos. I always commented that you both are so happy and cute. You guys are so down to earth too! I just love watching you guys! China loves you too ❤. Now you are making me to go traveling to the flower city of Kuming!! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing this-I am eager to go to Yunnan! The OPPOSITE HOUSE in Beijing is top tier but not as spacious. I stayed there for New Year’s Eve with a friend 🥰
I’m so glad you guys got a proper hotel room in China lol. Some of the places you were staying at were grim. Good on you for doing the budget thing, but very glad you spoiled yourself a bit too.
Ok,after this how are you both going to put up with anything less?😂 the automatic black out curtains are totally unnecessary? No,they are absolutely necessary,and also that automatic toilet lid!😅
Glad to see you guys are having fun in Kunming. Correction of a small mistake: In China, the difference in food types for breakfast, lunch and dinner is also very obvious. There are some foods that most people eat in the morning and others that are eaten primarily in the evening. In addition to staple food such as rice, which is used to go with meat and vegetables, most other rice and noodle foods, such as steamed buns, Cantonese dim sum, pies, fried dough sticks, fried rice, spring rolls and noodles are usually eaten in the morning (fried rice is popular is usually eaten in the morning, because in the past, people used to make it with leftover rice from the previous day, although this is mostly not the case now). Many people now also follow Western style to eat bread, sausages, etc. in the morning. On the other hand, barbecue, hot pot, crayfish and beer are generally eaten at night. Most "formal meals" (mainly stir-fried or stewed mixed meats and vegetables) are eaten at lunch and evening, but generally not in the morning. In addition, due to regional differences, the same food is eaten at different times in different regions. For example, porridge is usually eaten in the morning in the north, but in Guangdong, it is often used as a late-night snack.
PS the color of the omelet reminded me how the eggs here are so much more orange (than the US at least)… I know that there is factory farming in China but eggs are not pasteurized or whatever & all I know is they’re better here even for 8 rmb (I’m in Beijing).
Last comment I promise! I love Watson’s soda water (in general) & tonic water (for gin & tonic) 🥰 even more than US versions! Aaaaand…I’ll talk about this in my future video about gyms here… but there definitely are no qualms about nudity in gendered areas (ie locker rooms etc).! As an American it definitely took getting used to 🤭
The cost is not bad. Superb hotel features and amenities. The flowers look gorgeous. All captured by the camera. The food reminds me of Mandarin buffet restaurant here in Toronto. But here they serve lots of seafood like Atlantic salmon steak, mussels, baby octopus, etc. Turkey and roast beef are also available. They mix Chinese and Western food. Interesting vlog in China.
You've been upgraded to executive suite so you can enjoy the exective lounge which offer you the breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner, it's more like a business class in a flight which you can be in a more private space
When you arrive in Yunnan, I recommend the Songzan Hotel, which is situated in an excellent location, either at the foot of a snowy mountain or across from a lake. The scenery is absolutely stunning.
really nice! I also stayed in a fancy one in Shanghai and the service was suuper good compared to all the hotels ive stayed in. In general hotels are cheap in China and great services. with a 50-100$ range you get good stauff. over 150 very good!
uh, the buffet its very good but if you would look online on their apps (i am lucky cuz my wife is Chinese) but you would find online even better buffets for cheaper. Its insane the buffet restaurants culture in China.
Wow! You got an excutive room! I don't know if they upgraded it for you or you just book an excutive room, but the flower market tour was definitly a gift🎉🎉
I am a titanium card member of Marriott. I have stayed in this hotel several times. What I am not very satisfied with is that there are no suites that can be upgraded. Others are okay. The general price is between RMB 400-500. Equivalent to USD 60-70.
@@robleyusuf2566 yeah a package of 2d1n executive suite and executive service booked at least 1 day ahead for ¥899, which includes a late check out till 6pm of the next day. So damn sweet I’m considering going there lmao
I had lived in Embassy Suites Hotel in D.C. for $250.00 per night plus tax and parking fee, the total was around $300.00. But, it couldn't compare a bit to this hotel. Breakfast in US hotels are garbages.
that 400 dollar is for a executive suit , normal room is only around 50 dollars per night for 5 star hotel in china, and this is during chinese new year, the price had gone up for 3 or 4 times, the exectuive suit is usually 150 dollars
The Club Room has such good food and so much of it. Holy smoke. I would be trying every single one of them, and with the drinks. So pampered. With so many choices of delicacies, but being nostalgic for home food after traveling for 2 months definitely do call for cheese and hash browns to start things off. I hope there is ketchup to go along with the hash brown. Would it be worth a try diluting the strong alcoholic beverage with some juices, and turn it into a margarita? Oh I am getting hungry watching you picking the food to fill your plate. LOL. Looks like you need some chili sauce to go with the lamb. I got to have my snacks now watching you two eating the beef fat noodle and pork wonton soup. Oh I see you say "spring rolls," but they look like egg rolls to me in America. Spring rolls is a Vietnamese food that is a clear thin rice paper wrap with lots of tropical minty leafy veggies and some meat. Couldn't tea be a substitute for coffee to get that caffeine? Damn, is that how royalties live? So pampered...
Spring roll is definitely Chinese food.Don't you know Vietnam was under China's Control for over 1000 years in the history.Not only Vietnam but also other countries near China has been influenced deeply by Chinese culture.So lot's of south-east aisa food has a origin in Chinese food
$400 is a little expensive, maybe because of the spring festival. I checked Nanjing (a tier 2 or even "tier 1.5" level city), the downtown center luxury hotel cost about 500-700 Chinese Yuan a night. There are more expensive room in the hotel like penthouse style with very nice city view, costs 1300-1800 Yuan. The view may be better than this one in the video. Especially considering Yunnan Province is not a "rich province", I think this hotel in the video is a little overpriced.
Crystal and Steven deserve a bonus.

Steve translates shulian (waterlily) as sleeping lotus, that’s a literally character to word translation. So cute
Wow❤ 终于奢侈一回了😊
然后被春节物价背刺了……尼玛3000块……平时才700啊……升级成他们那个套房也才899😂😂
Look at you guys! Movin' on up. The excitement is palpable. 😂
it makes a difference from the usual hell holes hahaha
Steven is sweating hard from the translation 😂. Its a really hard job
he done so well!
That is top quality service!
The Club Room has such good food and so much of it. Holy smoke. I would be trying every single one of them, and with the drinks. So pampered. With so many choices of delicacies, but being nostalgic for home food after traveling for 2 months definitely do call for cheese and hash browns to start things off. I hope there is ketchup to go along with the hash brown. Would it be worth a try diluting the strong alcoholic beverage with some juices, and turn it into a margarita? Oh I am getting hungry watching you picking the food to fill your plate. LOL. Looks like you need some chili sauce to go with the lamb. I got to have my snacks now watching you two eating the beef fat noodle and pork wonton soup. Oh I see you say "spring rolls," but they look like egg rolls to me in America. Spring rolls is a Vietnamese food that is a clear thin rice paper wrap with lots of tropical minty leafy veggies and some meat. Couldn't tea be a substitute for coffee to get that caffeine? Damn, is that how royalties live? So pampered...
everything was amazing! hard to pick a favourite!
Spring roll is definitely Chinese food.Don't you know Vietnam was under China's Control for over 1000 years in the history.Not only Vietnam but also other countries near China has been influenced deeply by Chinese culture.So lot's of south-east aisa food has a origin in Chinese food
Wow, what a big hotel suite!!!
the biggest we have ever stayed in

That red can is a popular herbal tea drink! It's called Wang Lao Ji. Super popular as the drink of choice during gatherings.

glad you enjoyed
The extra toilet is for your guests. :). I just found you guys. You are both awesome
30mon is and I was thinking y'alls was looking tired....then you talked about drinks everything made sense
$400 is a little expensive, maybe because of the spring festival.
I checked Nanjing (a tier 2 or even "tier 1.5" level city), the downtown center luxury hotel cost about 500-700 Chinese Yuan a night. There are more expensive room in the hotel like penthouse style with very nice city view, costs 1300-1800 Yuan. The view may be better than this one in the video.
Especially considering Yunnan Province is not a "rich province", I think this hotel in the video is a little overpriced.
This is executive suite, 昆明喜来登， not even a luxury hotel, just a normal 5 star level
@@qicui9461 南京的金斯利-喜来登也是2300-2400元，看来是统一价。但是南京的物价要高多了😂…… 总的感觉还是这个房子偏贵了，不管是不是executive suite。
我记得我曾经在日本京都住过一家超级豪华且房间大得离谱的酒店，双人间，大概人民币1200元。
@@qicui9461喜来登在STR分级里也是个仅次于luxury的upper upscale，怎么就“一般五星级了”😂😂
昆明是专门的旅游城市，酒店很可能比南京贵这是很正常的
@@hellosurvivor97 也许是这个原因😂不过这个性价比，我真不如出国玩了……
I noticed that this Sheraton in Kunming serves cheap Johnny Walker Red whisky in the exec lounge . Unusual. But the food looks very nice indeed.
I Our local city 🇨🇳 . order a room like This hotel just cost 60UsD(information hotel)
@user-un5st what city is yours?
Are you guys visiting the stone forest and Tianchi lake?
There is a luxury hotel built in a abandoned mine in Shanghai. Worth to experience.
