As a Beijinger I just want to say that your video is fantastic! Qianmen and Gulou are my favourite places in Beijing and a lot of locals go there quite often. These are really the best places in Beijing and they are so unique! Thank you for sharing and thank you for your brilliant interpretation : )
Thank you so much that means a lot coming from a Beijinger! They are my favourite places too, especially Gulou we are always in that area! I'm really happy you enjoyed it!
I love watching your videos about China. I feel I see a world the West doesn't show me, and people totally misunderstand the country and what it has to offer. I can't wait to be there September 2021!
The Hostels in China are so beautiful. So much character and comfort. Love the hostels in Beijing (courtyards). But my best hostel choice is in Shenzhen at the Loft.
Yes we love staying in hostels we actually included one but it had shut down recently so we had to take it out. I will check that out if we go back to Shenzhen.
Great video! I’ve been to Beijing 15 times since 1992 and had witnessed the incredible changes! My favorite city in China for sure, offering the old and the new! Hope to visit yet again in the near future. Thanks again for the memories!
Great vid, Nico! You might have forgotten one thing or two: BJ offers a wide range of world-class museums too: Chinese history , culture, traditional & contemporary art, military, aerospace, etc... BJ also hosts some of the largest zoos in the world.
A Chinese watching travel guide of Beijing 😂Thank you for the wonderful suggestions！Next time I going back home will go these places, really want to try the MUJI hotel.
Amazing footages! I should admit that timelapse method is the right perfect filter for the video of the Chinese crowd, but YMMV if you are in those crowds in person. Great guide for Beijing! Thanks again!
thank you Nico to introduce my hometown Beijing! Besides famously Great Wall and the Forbidden City, there's really so much to see in this ancient city, waiting you to discover. I'm making some cycling vlog rencently, it's inspired by you channel. so thx again nico!
i thought i missed my weekly dose of happiness and possibility this week from monday...and turns out its refined product is waiting to be released. very nice
Beijing is great for a tour or historical stes, if you're prepared for a *lot* of walking. The forbidden city, the oracle, and various cultural heritage sites are all huge. They are great for exercising not just your mind but also your legs. :-)
Hi Nico, My wife and I watched the raising of the Chinese flag , one very early morning. How amazing. If you haven't watched it for real yet, I strongly suggest you do. Need to get there super early, like 2 hours before sunrise, to get to the front of the barriers. Graham.
Did I mention that I would love to go the most populous capital city in the world, let alone the world's most populous country, and one of the greatest countries in the world? I'm sure I did.
@@zeldamachina6305 im local Beijinger, but tokyo has more people lol. but thank you for liking it, wish that u had a pleasant journey and welcome back at anytime.
I love Beijing Parkview Green (北京侨福芳草地).This is my fav mall in beijing.Almost like an art gallery. Amazed with so many art-creative around the mall. The architecture of the mall was so unique...nice....Recommend you to visit it!!!
Very informative video Nico . Always love the quality of your videos and this one doesn’t disappoint Been in China nearly 3 years myself but still haven’t been to Beijing 😲 hopefully will get the opportunity to travel there soon especially after seeing this video .
Beijing is safe, clean, efficient, and not very expensive. I think Spring and Fall are the best time to visit. Summer is stifling hot and humid and winter can be cold and windy. Go to Temple of Heaven early to see the hundreds of seniors doing their dancing, exercising, singing, or just having a great time with other seniors. Signs are mostly bilingual.
I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into these videos, they’re so lovely to watch ❤️ Great Wall fresh was such a good add to the list! I hope I can go there sometime soon.
Great video guys. I think the best duck in beijng is liqun roast duck. I have tried a lot of them over the past 9 years. I have never tried the ones you guys recommend so when I get back to Beijing i will have to try.
Thanks a lot! We've not been there yet but I have heard of it before. Jingzun is really popular as it's really well priced and close to Sanlitun. Still waiting for someone to treat me to Da Dong haha
As a local born n raised Beijinger, I 200% recommend all the places you mentioned in the vid, ahhhhh it surely included all the local and tourist spot for travelers, Imma definitely send it to my bf lololol
Now this is a surprise: Inalways though Peking was only the official german name for Beijing. Thought maybe because it was easier to pronounce. Do you might know where the name originates from?
Da Dong is very overrated. It's way more expensive and it just caters more to foreigners so doesn't have the traditional chinese feel and honestly I thought it was such a letdown
22 million people is so crazy. I live in New Zealand which has 5 million people total. I've been stuck in traffic for an hour in my city which only has a quarter of a million people lol.
Wow! Thank you for such a great video showing my home city! Beijing is where you can never get bored! I’ve never finished exploring it! It’s just like living in the history and making its new chapter along with the other people in the city. Hope I can be back very soon. Also, the national museum, the capital museum and some other kinds of museum are the places that travelers often forget. But if you want to get a really deeper look, don’t miss the museums! Especially the national museum next to the TianAnMen square, it’s Huge! There are always some temporary exhibitions in the Forbidden City as well
I like your channel, good job Nico. I am thinking if I travel to a city, especially, like Beijing, definitely, I will go to a museum. The old palace, obviously, then national art museum of china, link www.namoc.org/, comes to the next. I like the masterpieces which you only see in East Asian.
My favorite The great wall of china...i just watched a movie with the same name and yes i enjoyed it...i the thought the birds nest was demolished already,well i'm wrong ..
Hahaha.....must say this is one of the most sassy (and may I say, sexy too?) encapsulation of Being in 9 mins! Breathtaking pictures and videos to titillate and entertain to boot! TQ Nico & Partner!
Damn Nico, you made me home sick. I haven't been able to go back for 2 years now, since Covid. Mainly because I don't have long enough vacations for the 21 days quarantines xD
Btw some bonus tips for young travellers if you wanna save a few bucks: Beijing, as well as many major Chinese cities, have loads and loads of Hostelling International accredited youth hostels where you can benefit from your membership if you are used with European or commonwealth countries XD love from 北京. ❤
welcome to beijing (even-though im saying this late haha), and thank you for liking and promoting this city. wish u enjoy your life here. btw, your guide is amazing!!!
amaaazing video. do you think you can make a video specifically about the subway? like how do we but a card and all that stuff? I'll be moving to Beijing to do my bachelor's degree and it'd be great if you explained the subway :) thank you
If you are using iPhone, you can open the wallet app, apply a Beijing public transit card, deposit some money into it, and that's all set. When you go to the subway, use your iPhone as a wireless card to pass the gate. And when you leave Beijing, transfer back your balance and remove the card. There are many cities support this kind of transit card: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and some other second tier cities. It may be a similar process for an android phone.
@@diana-ui9wc Well, if your android phone is Chinese brand, there should be an embedded app for Beijing transit which will use your phone's NFC as a card (similar to iPhone). Otherwise you can download WeChat app or Beijing transit app or Beijing Yi Ka Tong app from the app market. That will use QR codes as tickets. For the bottom line, you can buy a physical card at any interchange subway station. I prefer using WeChat app, you'll use it in your China days anyway.
Honestly, it's super easy to use the subway. They have an English language option on the machines. You can pay cash, WeChat or get a subway card. You can get a subway card from subway stations and where they have people working in the information desks. Also, like the others mentioned you can set it up on your phone. You can also download an app called Metro Man as well which has all the lines in Beijing and China so you can switch cities when you travel.

I love China and American born chinese food
I am going to watch the Chinese version of SpongeBob SquarePants
Fun Fact: The right sign next to Mao's picture at Tiananmen square translates to "long live the unity of the world's people"
I'm pretty sure the West won't like you to see this! ha.......................
this is my fave video of yours!!! so informative and pretty, that duck looked amazing
Thank you very much! I'm pleased you liked it...... and it was 😋
so happy to see your video about my hometown. Miss the old days my grandma bring to summer palace for boating.
Same here...The good ol' days in 玉渊潭 and 紫竹院...I miss Beijing so much
海淀人民路过
I haven't been on any of the boats yet there or Beihai but I really want to go on one soon.
作为一个北京人，我觉得你说的很对！确实很了解北京，比很多外国人做的片子真实。Well done！
Thank you very much!

Thanks for the video👌 Good work!
So happy to see you at 27K i still remember when you were excited for 10k .
Thank you! I'm so happy for all the goals we reach. 10K wasn't that long ago only a few months, what a year! haha
TBH , that's what i was thinking maybe lockdown helped you to grow this fast , and most importantly you deserve it 💯.
@@hamzakhanjadoon6298 Yeah a few of our videos got pushed on UA-cam so that really helped. Thank you very much!

Great introduction video, thanks Nico
Glad you liked it!
Great video! Where would you recommend watching Peking Opera? I've seen a few locations in Beijing but not sure which one to visit :) Thanks!
So enjoy watching this video ☺️
Thank you very much!

Well done team
team Jack! haha
good job，ni co
Timestamps would be awesome
Y'all have better tourism vids than professional tourism vids. Like China Tourism should be paying you guys.
I know right! but alas they are not, haha maybe one day!
How can we visit China with the travel ban?
Some countries have established "green channel" to China that allow controlled entry.
Hope there'll be subtitle next time 🐳🐳🐳
But it's just square, hahaha that's true
im sorry jehovah but levon is time to go
CCP should definitely pay the fee of publicity. Enjoy your video!
haha yeah they are not. Unfortunately we only make money from ads on UA-cam.
This is one of the most underrated channels on UA-cam! Great job Nico and Jack!👍
Thank you very much that is so kind! Please feel free to share and spread the word we appreciate all the help and support we can get.
Hi :) I just uploaded my vlog to Beijing lol. Any support would mean so much to me. Thank you!!
@@Nicofilms you have a new subscriber. fantastic content!
Incredible list and suggestions! Panjiayuan and Beijing Duck are some of my favorites in Beijing. Video was totally worth the wait. You were right!
Thank you very much, I'm pleased you liked it! Yes me too!
Hi Nico,

That the site of the massacre right? Cool story bruh

@@Xiao_PP Mind you own stuff bitch, 30 years later and still talking that cliche, pathetic
Great video, my knowledge of Beijing is pretty limited so this is nice and useful!! :D
Hopefully this helps next time you visit!
Did I mention that I would love to go the most populous capital city in the world, let alone the world's most populous country, and one of the greatest countries in the world? I'm sure I did.
You mean Chongqing
@@pauldirac3203 Uh....no, Beijing, the city has a city proper population of over 22 million people, it is also the capital city of China.
@@zeldamachina6305 im local Beijinger, but tokyo has more people lol. but thank you for liking it, wish that u had a pleasant journey and welcome back at anytime.

Gosh, I'm in September 2021 and I don't think 14 days is gonna be enough for all these places.
Oh it's so big I think I would need at least a week there to see some places😀
Right! I would recommend about that too! You could do less but it depends on if you would be jet lagged haha

I wanna go so bad!!! but I can't afford first class and I wouldn't fly in economy. =p
you are better than Beijing tourism bureau
haha Thank you very much!
Nice video !! Some of this may. One in handy next vacation
My favorite The great wall of china...i just watched a movie with the same name and yes i enjoyed it...i the thought the birds nest was demolished already,well i'm wrong ..
No it's still there and so is the Olympic park it's very popular.
you pronounced a lot of the place names wrong, otherwise it is very good
Great videos ❤👍👍
