nice vidéo ! yes i have been to china ! it is one of my favourite country ! happy to discover your channel, so we can discover more and share experiences !
@@SvenywhereI have been to many places in China would be too long to say... I don't count anymore how many times i have been there. That s a long story i can sum up I had the chance to meet a chinese lady in south india a long time ago, we were both backpacking. Since this day, few years ago now, we created a family,..., our second baby was born in Nigeria where I actually film with cam and drone.
West Lake Park is absolutely gorgeous, I bet we could take wonderful pictures there! And I just saw the yummy skewers: they look like Japanese Yakitori!
Glad to hear that about Fuzhou West Lake. I used to live on West Lake in Hangzhou and it is just a crowded polluted mess. Whenever people tell me I should visit there as part of a Chinese trip, I always question what it is they value about traveling.
I covered Hangzhou on my channel as well. Hengdian World Studios was a great visit as well which you could watch back. Not sure if I ever had sand worm, I will ask my girlfriend if I had it before.
It's crazy to think about the amount of Chinese cities with much much larger pops than the US. 7.66M people live in a city I've never heard of??? That's larger than all but 1 US city. And you broke it down like a champ. Thanks man. Safe travels.
I spent almost a year living and working in China. I actually had heard of this place but sadly never visited. Looks a lovely place to visit. What did you think of chinese street food?
Isn't the first time for me in China of Asia either. I have studied in Taipei for half a year and I just love the street food / night markets in East Asia in general, not only China!
The park is nice. Unfortunately I didn't cover the forest area, but I will go back so I would be able to show you that together with some other night markets.
Now I think that the 4 main things to do in Fuzhou is getting familliar with the street food, it looks delicious! I was hoping to see the old Starbucks, so maybe you can film it next time :)
@@Svenywhere we were born there and I had been living there for 33 years before my twins were 6 years old. but we went back almost every summer vacation. The city becomes more and more beautiful.
Then I would recommend Xiamen. It is more suitable for tourists and has a bit more to explore as well. Besides that it has nice areas next to the sea to hangout which gives you more of holiday vibe. You could always make a day trip to Fuzhou from there.
As a native Chinese from Fuzhou, I have been curious for years of why the government sets Fuzhou as the capital city of the Fujian province instead of Xiamen. Xiamen is just way better than Fuzhou. The level of its hospitality and tourism to Fuzhou is incompatible.
@@stevenchen5460 I am not into Chinese politics. But business wise and decision making I can imagine Fuzhou is more important in an economical perspective. However, for tourists Xiamen is the more interesting place.
xiamen is designed for tuorists. But I dont agree that xiamen has more to exploit than fuzhou. The truth is the opposite. Just sanfangqixia alone，you should not go in the night，the area is really big，you should go to the lanes to visit those old houses and have a cup of tea or coffee there. There are many other places in fuzhou for tuorists with rich culture. Different from xiamen，the tuorists spot are gathered togather and easy to find，fuzhou‘s tuorist’s spot are more scattered. But for someone，who has time to stay in fuzhou for more time，you will know it is more worth exploiting than xiamen. If you just suggest someone to spend 3 days in xiamen and 1day in fuzhou，you definitely has difficulty to find fuzhou is a tourist friendly city. You can try to spend 3 days in xiamen and 3 days in fuzhou，you will surely find that，xiamen is getting you bored but you dont have enough time for fuzhou！
@@laughingstarable totally agree with that statement. For a longer term visit and slow travelers who really want to explore places I agree that Fuzhou is the better of the two. However for short and quick tourist visits and in terms of tourist friendliness how easy it is to explore, Xiamen is the better choice. I still want to visit the Xiapu farms, have you been there?
@@Svenywhere Sorry, I live in Australia. But my parents told me everything goes well in Fuzhou. Also, there is only one case in the whole Fuzhou. Fuzhou is pretty safe.
@@alisonc8820 I know. We were planning to go there end of January / beginning of February. But my girlfriend's parents recommended us not to go, because at that time all the public places were closed and they were only allowed to go out once in a couple of days.
@@alisonc8820 yeah her parents recommended to wait even longer. Well at least my visa is wasted. I got everything refunded, except the costs to the Chinese government itself...
Good morning, Svenywhere!! 😃 This is one of my favorite videos of Fuzhou, especially since this is my hometown. Can I use a clip of this video for my university project? I will give credit (including a link, channel name, and what section of the video I used) in my project. Thank you sooo much for creating amazing content. You can email me at kpl.maleficent@gmail.com if you would like to reach out to me.
I meet a girl from Fuzhou and to be honest she doesn’t have any manners or class for a person who was in college for 5 years plus she’s living a fantasy life and drink to much
I hope this doesn't change your perception about everyone in Fuzhou. Like you can meet that type of people everywhere in the world. This is related how her parents raised her and the environment she grew up. I know loads of great people in Fuzhou and the type of people you mentioned you have them everywhere in the world.
I agree that you wouldn't recommend this as a first choice to tourists. But I don't agree that this city is boring. It has interesting areas and the national forest park is a nice area. You can make nice trips to Wuyishan from here for example.
@@Svenywhere Whether a city is interesting or not somehow depends on the people!! I was exchanged to Taiwan last year and got back here to finish my senior year in my uni. It has been half a year now in Fuzhou, i got depressed every day LOL!!
@@even3331 haha sounds sad. Must be hard. Where did you have your exchange? I studied for half a year in Taipei and I love all the people I met during that time!
@@Svenywhere I was exchange to the city called Chayi during 2017.9 to 2018.7. I love the people there too. I made so many friends there and had lots of awesome experience while traveling. Miss there so much HAHHA
Have you ever been to China?
Yes right before there was high speed rail. The maglev was already in operation though.
I was born there(fujian fuzhou)
I visited Fuzhou to visit my family and friends.
I plan on visiting this city next year, you should check out my hometown of Dalian
@@user-zi1hk3eu7j me too
Love the outdoor shots. You got a nice eye to catch the beauty of the outdoors where you visit. Keep up good work!
Gardens' architecture and street food. All good. Nice video. I am catching up on some of your older videos.
Hope you enjoy my older ones as well 😃
this is beautiful
Great travels mate! It was good to meet you today at YT space! Your website is Cool too :D
Great to meet you as well there. Hope we will catch up at some other point ;)
It is nice to see older vlogs. That was really good 👍 you are always hungry. Excellent night footage ❤️🌈👍
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video...great footages, I have not been to this place...loved travelling with u👍👍👍
Thank you so much 🙂

@@LudoLiuExtras cool story. Funny you ended up in Nigeria. I met my lovely Chinese girlfriend in Ghana during travels.
West Lake Park is absolutely gorgeous, I bet we could take wonderful pictures there! And I just saw the yummy skewers: they look like Japanese Yakitori!
I definitely miss the food there. And those parks give you indeed perfect photo opportunities.
Glad to hear that about Fuzhou West Lake. I used to live on West Lake in Hangzhou and it is just a crowded polluted mess. Whenever people tell me I should visit there as part of a Chinese trip, I always question what it is they value about traveling.
Fuzhou is fun and you should try their signature dish named "Sand worm"! The West Lake in Hangzhou is very beautiful. Go visit some day!
I covered Hangzhou on my channel as well. Hengdian World Studios was a great visit as well which you could watch back. Not sure if I ever had sand worm, I will ask my girlfriend if I had it before.

Yep, indeed weird if you think about. So many cities in China, bigger than any other city in the world and we have never heard of it.
Wow! Cool vid.
Thank you so much!
Such good views in this vlog!!
Thanks

Isn't the first time for me in China of Asia either. I have studied in Taipei for half a year and I just love the street food / night markets in East Asia in general, not only China!
Street food in Asia seems amazing, can't wait to visit that part of the world. Thanks for sharing! :)
Street food is the best in Asia!
"I don't know why you want to visit Starbucks...but you can..." 😂 West lake looks great!
The park is nice. Unfortunately I didn't cover the forest area, but I will go back so I would be able to show you that together with some other night markets.
the starbucks there is really nice, and also there is a Pizza hunter there, also nice, expensive a well
Lovely vlog 😊 Enjoyed a lot 😊 Want more vlogs 😊
Now I think that the 4 main things to do in Fuzhou is getting familliar with the street food, it looks delicious! I was hoping to see the old Starbucks, so maybe you can film it next time :)
The funny part was that they were reconstructing the place. So nothing to show to be fair. Next time when I am back I will shoot it for you ;)
Looks nice and a non touristy place to visit. Looks humid when you went.
Yeah was indeed in mid summer. So it can get very hot.
do no t visit Fuzhou in Summer. the best time to visit it is oct and NOV. believe me.
@@YHGuan-hh8gu I have been in summer as well. But I agree with your advice if you can. Luckily I can handle heat pretty well.
@@Svenywhere we were born there and I had been living there for 33 years before my twins were 6 years old. but we went back almost every summer vacation. The city becomes more and more beautiful.
Gu Shan mountain, have you been there?
If I only given one choice to visit, which one would you recommend, Xiamen or Fuzhou? The high speed train stops at both cities, right?
Then I would recommend Xiamen. It is more suitable for tourists and has a bit more to explore as well. Besides that it has nice areas next to the sea to hangout which gives you more of holiday vibe. You could always make a day trip to Fuzhou from there.

Bro where are you from? Somewhere in the U.K.?
I live in the UK, but I am Dutch.
@@Svenywhere okay cool, your accent sounded unfamiliar to me haha.
wow~ my city
And I love it! My girlfriend comes from Fuzhou. How is it at the moment? Are things getting back to normal life?
@@Svenywhere Sorry, I live in Australia. But my parents told me everything goes well in Fuzhou. Also, there is only one case in the whole Fuzhou. Fuzhou is pretty safe.

@@Svenywhere It's ok now. People can go to their community or company freely now. But if you wanna visit there, I will recon on March or later.

@@enriquecruz6414 I can understand that indeed. And there are still loads of places to explore in the world ;)
Was she rude to you? haha What bad things did she do? 🤔
