    Don't be scared of the wooden boards in the lift, that only means some levels of this building are under decorating, the wooden board was set to prevent scratches in the lift.
    Enjoy your trip.

    跨江缆车是超级推荐的,而且最好晚上去。
    我第一到那里是盛夏的一个夜晚,炎热无比,当去到站台,看到对岸的江景的时候,心跳都停止了。

    Very nice video, I found your channel recently and it's a good way to discover new things about China ! I just started chinese this year, although I admit that it was more a strategic choice for my futur career than a passion for this country, nevertheless I'm starting to change my view on this thanks to you. What makes me reluctant to go there (double degree in Tsinghua for example) is the political system and the pollution, how do you feel about this ?

    • @BlondieinChina
      @BlondieinChina  5 років тому +8

      That's awesome! I'm glad you're enjoying my content! I have to tell you, in the beginning, learning chinese was also a strategic choice for me. I was going to study business and thought a chinese major would be a nice way to compliment it. It was only when I went to China for my first time that I absolutely fell in love with it, and the rest is history!!! It's an amazing place, you will surely come to love it. For me, I don't watch the news and am not really interested in politics. As long as it doesn't interfere with my daily life, I'm fine. And apart from having to use a VPN to see instagram and youtube, I don't feel any kind of influence from the political system. In terms of pollution, beijing is 1000000x better than it was 3 years ago. Many of the big factories nearby have been closed and most days are clear blue skies, not like the old days where most days you couldn't go outside. Of course, its still more polluted than australia and most western countries but I never think about it really, it just doesnt bother me as much as it used to. Any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!

      @@BlondieinChina So nice of you to give such a detailed answer ! Interesting that the hard regime's policy is not actually really percieved. And it's true that China is making more effort against pollution than a lot of western countries. I'm majoring in computer science so some chinese universities could be interesting for me, I'll have to think about that.
      Keep up the good work :) !

    I remember studying economics as a kid and the teacher showed us a documentary thing about this city, where a lot of people come from all parts of China to work here and try to make a living with not very good wages and also this city is famous for having extremely serious air pollution. 10 plus years later (now), this city is turning into a mega city and things have improved significantly, like you said, it is not perfect, but it is quite special.
