The Go game is the Chinese game Weiqi(围棋) which was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago, however, people around the world think it is a Japanese game which is so wrong.
China is the biggest victim of Cultural appropriation for obvious reason. It was not like this before 2nd world war. The list goes on and on, Ramen, Kintsugi, wooden architecture........
China has one of the most variety of vegetarian cuisine in the world, you guys will definitely love it! Look up some vegetarian restaurants, they usually make almost all normal Chinese dishes into vegetarian style and it's absolutely delicious!
Cats in Japan are believed to have originated from China. It is generally thought that during the Tang Dynasty, the eminent monk Jianzhen brought cats to Japan to protect precious Buddhist scriptures from being damaged by rats on the ship. These cats, therefore, came to be known as "Tang cats." At that time, cats were rare in Japan and were kept only by the royal family and temples. Due to their association with Buddhism, Japanese people attributed various spiritual abilities to cats, such as bringing good fortune, turning luck around, and guarding luck. This is the origin of the Shosoin Fortune Cat.
Nice to hear good positive history. I've got tired to seen and heard my partner(British) keep watching the old war again and again everyday (UK tele) next to me at least 30min a day omg 😂 I mean I do love history but yeah I think as a new generation shouldn't re-relive the old war because it can create anger to new generation thats why new war keep coming up! 😡... Ugh... xD bores me. No more history haha. 🙀 Cats and dogs and other animals, let's talking about animals and travelling adventures only thanks 😊 ❤ xx
@@Likai3699 There is indeed such a legend. It is not that there are no cats in Japan, but they are all wild cats. It is said that domestic cats were brought to Japan by monks. Another theory is that they were introduced to Japan by Goguryeo.
From the name of your channel, I think you are a vegetarian. I suggest you try a vegetarian restaurant in China. Seeing that you have been eating tofu for several meals, I think it is a waste of your opportunity if you don't try Chinese vegetarian food. Chinese vegetarian food will surprise you. Some Chinese vegetarian restaurants are buffet style, and some are the same as ordinary restaurants. Buffet style ones are generally not too expensive, at most about 100 RMB per person. If it is an ordinary vegetarian restaurant, it will be more expensive, the most expensive can be 1000 RMB per person, and the cheaper ones can be about 100 RMB per person. You can search it on the Internet. By the way, the Chinese character "素" means vegetarian.
You guys really need to go to a Chinese Vegetarian restaruants. There are so many vegetarians in China, the food in there is on another level compares to vegetarian food in the west
Youll find British the Great Britain old country kept the old and mix with new is the future I think 🤔 same with Malaysia and Singapore and Brunei these 3 country learn alot from Britain haha 😂 . I also seen video of China very impressive ☺ magnetic floating train omg I love it, I would love to try it one day. I bet it is smooth and quiet!
@@ukchub6633 Definitely we dont have normal trains in Lithuania for going to other countries.Seeing trains in China is mind blowing.Yes true those 3 countries learn from UK.Are you from Europe?Love that there atm of wines
It's going to take him years to see all of corner of China ☺ I love it, wishful hope thinking. I hope they keep travelling where they go. Go adventure! ☺
Now is the rainy season in the south, and it is unlikely to get sunny in the next month.On the positive side, if it's not raining, you'll have to queue everywhere in Shanghai during the peak tourist season.
hey don't eat just tofu, there are a lot of vegetarian options in China like Jian Bing (煎饼), Jiang Xiang Bing (酱香饼), similar to crepe or pancake, Baozi (包子) it's a steamed bun they have red bean, custard etc, Zong Zi sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves there are a lot of options for you not just tofu.
Haha, this no-man controlled street wine bar could never be placed on the streets of London, New York, or any metropolis in the West for sure. Someone would break into it within minutes.
The cultural context of those cat figurines (JP. "Maneki-neko") came from China, but the practice of putting them in stores for good luck originated in Japan during the Edo period.
the fortune cat originated in japan, but gained popularity in china over the past 100 years. you'll see fortune cats in many chinese restaurants in the US.
Not sure if one can find the London Plane trees in Hanoi, Vietnam, since I have never been to Hanoi. I believe the London Plane trees, a hybrid of American Sycamore and Oriental Plane tress, are a signature of Shanghai.
@@firefly4784 I've been to Nanjing's Dr. Sun Yatsun mausoleum more than a decade ago. I guess I didn't pay attention to the trees lining the Zhongshan Road at the time. 👍
there's kind of a trade war going on if you didn't know and foreign wines have been a victim so there's pretty high tariffs 🤣. just avoid imported stuff and you should be able to get things fairly cheap even though shanghai is probably the most expensive chinese city.
I'm not sure if this is your thing but when I go travel, I like to avoid the popular touristy cities and just go to a nearby town and immerse in the local food scene or something lol
About that "sugared stinky tofu", maybe it's just the machine translator🤣 It says in Chinese “弄堂臭豆腐” which means "traditional alley stinky tofu" where 弄堂 means "traditional alley" and it's just an advertising word. It somehow get translated to "sugered", probably because "堂" has the same pronunciation (táng) as 糖 which means sugar but it's still an uncommon mistake
There are a few reasons why western countries the governments don't want their citizens to visit China. 1st to see all the Chinese super infrastructures. 2nd how China is able to keep the public areas so clean, green and organized. 3th why China is so safe even for foreigners. 4th. How Chinese education system is able to educate the people with such huge population to be so disciplined. If those western countries people visit China and see all these, they will realize how useless and incompetent their governments are compared to the Chinese government. With so much taxes they're paying, yet their useless governments are not able to provide them the same infrastructures, cleanliness and safety to the people. That is why their governments and government controlled media keep lying to them about how bad China is. How undeveloped China is and advises the people not to visit China. The governments do not want the people to see the real China and compare.
I have subscribed and enjoy the travel videos of handsome guys and beautiful women. Unfortunately, the weather is not good. I hope you have a good time
The lucky cat actually is originated from Japan. (Maneki Neko) meaning “beckoning cat”. In China usually you can find it at the entrance of a business like restaurants, shops, offices. It’s for good fortune, good luck and brings successful business. (Wealth)
Chinese culture and history influenced all over Asia in past thousands year. China to eastern world is like Roma to western world in the history, unluckily western world don't teach this part to people in education.
They have parts of the city like that because those foreigners occupied us in the 1843. Great Britain, France, America and Japan….. that’s why you have this influence
Not Japan , Japan was a invasion in 1938 ……. Japan until 1918 not get a concession and the qingdao was illegally took by Japan after Germany lost the WWI …….

@@mrstang2511 颜色不一样只是使用的发酵材料不一样，正宗的臭豆腐是黑色的，使用了苋菜为发酵材料，而白色臭豆腐则没有，所以臭味没有黑豆腐臭，只是有些无良商家为了节省时间和成本，会使用化学方法使臭豆腐快速变黑，这对健康并不好，如果是正规渠道的臭豆腐，黑豆腐比白豆腐好吃的

shanghai and beijing is not china, you should go shenzhen（深圳）, yunnan（云南）,xi'an（西安），these place are more more beautiful china.
it would be ridiculous to exclude shanghai and beijing from the concept of china😅 they are just on the modern, popular and expensive side of china
Not everthung modern is European. Don't flatter yourselves.

it's shanghai and near tourist attraction so that can be expected. just note that a normal price tag would be 10-15
