Enjoy your time in china and Kepp exploring cities outside of shanghai lol cause shanghai isn't all of china😂😂
祝旅遊愉快😀請真實的看中國⋯⋯不要戴有色眼鏡
You can do anything that is not expressly prohibited in China, you can take photos, you can film the police. Unless they tell you on the spot that you can't take pictures. . Besides, you are too nervous. It's like an adventure, not like a journey. You should think that China is very illiberal. In fact, anything short of not being able to vote is freer than in Australia. It's time for you to relax and experience true freedom. . You can even have a beer on the street. This is not illegal, of course. . You also don’t need to worry about Chinese police asking you for money. They dare not do this. I promise
It’s so cute how you guys know nothing about China
For westerners to understand China you have to visit China physically. Not just watch and believe your BBC, ABC, NYT and other MSM. All these media will never report and show you the real China.
It's so funny that you chose this time to go to China, it's the National Day holiday, more than 400 million people are traveling, many places are overcrowded, but it's still very happy to see your trip in China 😂😂😂
No it's like 898million people are traveling domestically😂😂😂

As a Chinese, I have some tips for you guys: 1、 On a high speed rail, you can actually order foods from restaurants near the next station, and they will be sent on the train when it arrives. And don't buy any food on the high speed rail, even we locals think those prices are ridiculous. We usually bring our own foods. 2、 Usually we don't eat at those restaurants in the train stations or airports, they are 50% more expensive than their counterparts outside. 3、 If you really need help, you better ask people at the age around 20 or 30, most of them speak at least a little bit of English. Most of the older generation people do not speak any English at all.
One day I will visit your country. thanks for your tips.

我同意你的实用主义观点，但中国有句俗语叫做"穷家富路"，在旅途中，固然花费会高一点，但是如果什么都计较价格，那么会让你旅程的快乐打折扣，也会让你损失很多时间去选择性价比高的饭店。
@@lovelife5783 你是没坐过高铁还是怎么回事？高铁那些盒饭动不动45块钱，而且选择少又不怎么好吃，我干嘛要多花钱找罪受？去火车站路上打包个快餐不香么？能多花你多少时间？

As a Chinese-Australian who was born in Sydney and grew up in both countries, it is incredible to see fellow Aussies visit the country of my roots. Seeing the two most important countries and cultures to me interact is really wholesome. Keep up with the fantastic content.
Thank you!!!’ 🥹🥹
A friendly reminder from a Chinese person: If it's not necessary, don't buy anything at the station, airport, or train. It will be much more expensive than shopping malls. This time is a Chinese holiday, and there will be many people traveling and returning to their hometown to visit relatives. It is recommended that foreign friends miss the peak flow period to travel
We Chinese welcome all friendly foreign friends to visit China. With your own eyes you will see that China is a big, safe, prosperous and fast developing beautiful country with countless beautiful natural scenery, delicious food and long history.

China's bullet Trains are so insanely fast. They are even faster than Japan's Shinkansen bullet Trains. It is mind-blowing to think how China build World's Longest High speed rail corridor in just 15 years.
Facts!!!
and much cheaper.
That’s also because other developed countries prefer spending tax payers’ money on "security" (e.g. military weapons, submarines, wars around the world, etc), or "fund" these monies to their politicians’ own private agenda.
China takes your freedom to give you a bullet train and all the glitters .
英语系国家一般都是相当孤陋寡闻的，真正的高速火车，在许多非英语系国家早就已经是非常正常的交通工具，中国2008年开始有高铁，法国七十年代末就有高铁，八十年代就达到这个速度了，德国九十年代才加入，其它大多数欧洲国家也都在九十年代至2000年代陆续拥有高铁，全世界先进国好像只有英语系国家在这方面有点落后，事实如此。当然，上面这些有高铁的国家里，中国的最新，最漂亮，最干净。
The exact same train has also just been launched in Indonesia serving Jakarta - Bandung. With regular trains, the distance is covered in 3 hours, but now it can be covered in just 45 minutes.
Yes,It was built by a Chinese company.
Indonesia train is built by China
@@sogo4567 it's build by PT KCIC which is a joint venture of Indonesian and Chinese companies.
No the Indonesian has is the New Model But It's has Lower range But in this Video is old but Amazing The train Can Travel at speed in 350km from 1200km away it's Like From Sorong,Papua to Jakarta
Not 1200km, it is 1318km.
Recently, the US opened their first high-speed railway（they called） with a speed of 180kmh. The subway speed in Guangzhou（19line）, is 190kmh.

I honestly was surprised when I went there. I had no idea what to expect
Everyone is surprised the first time they come here. I've lived here for over 15 years now and the West for the most part has still got China all wrong.
@@josieliftsthings Maybe it's because China is developing so fast, or maybe it's because the Western media doesn't cover the good things about China. I watched a lot of vloggers' video who are new to China, and they like to use words like surprise or shock to express their feelings when they first arrived, which also shows how successful the Western media is in educating the people. Especially when I saw the reaction of foreigners when they ate preserved eggs(century eggs), I burst out laughing.

You have encountered one of the craziest holidays in China, the National Day Golden Week. As a Chinese, I dare not go out. This is the busiest week in China in a year and is crowded everywhere. It is difficult to book train tickets and air tickets. I really admire your courage to travel to China during the Golden Week.

when i rode the high-speed train a few years ago. i did the coin test and the coin didn't fall, that's how smooth and steady the train was. i learned this from watching other youtubers's videos. love from canada.
Canada can really benefit from high-speed train, since the majority of population live on a line near southern border. The economic potential is enormous.

These trains are something else! It basically feels like flying until another one passes by...and there's a bit of lateral shake. Cool pretty cool watching trees whiz by while acres and acres of agricultural land scroll by.
haha you are so brave to travel during Golden week as your first time in China 😂 not to mention it was a double holiday. usually we just stay put during Golden week and Spring festival, but we actually took a trip this time, but we avoided the popular tourist spots and chose somewhere more in the middle of nowhere to avoid the crowds
haha , that 's smart choice, crowded and expensive
Haha that’s true 😂
The vloggers appear to take the video in Aug rather than Golden week as they watched the 2023 Women's World Cup.
this video should be shooted 2 months ago , they just finished and upload recently , the golden week should be more more more crowded than that .
I think you have been to China lots of times , just a smart choice and knows what to do.
In the train you can actually order food from a city you pass through. They will deliver your food at the train and the train staff will bring it to you. You had second class tickets, there are als business ( 4 seats) and first class (3 seats in a row).
In China, Business class is better than First class... first class has 4 seats, Business has 3.
Hope you enjoy your trip to China. It’s always interesting to see people’s reactions visiting China for the first time 🙂👍🌻
I love you two! Such good travel companions
Chinese don’t speak English because it’s a big country, majority of them don’t have the need to learn foreign language. However, Chinese usually don’t shy away from you and will try to communicate. Unlike western media portraits, Chinese are friendly, warm and peaceful.
and also because English is so different from Chinese. It's much easier to speak English for those whose mother tongue is a European language.
@@davidliu3189 Yes, if Europe were a country, the languages of different countries would be equivalent to dialects, just like people from Beijing, China, can easily understand people from Henan, China
I wish you happiness and unforgettable every day during your trip to China, and good luck to you and your travel companions.

First of all, welcome to China. I enjoy your videos, and it's clear that you're sharing your genuine experiences. I can sense that this trip was quite rushed, and I hope next time you can stay a few more days to immerse yourself in the culture of Chinese cities. Two important things to note when traveling in China: Avoid traveling during Chinese holidays. Consider shopping at local supermarkets. Lastly, I hope you have a great time exploring China, and you are welcome to come back anytime.

I was amazed by high speed trains, especially the one from Shanghai to Suzhou due to that one did not need a seat. A 25 minute riding was quite pleasant. Especially, when being jammed with genuine local people who would never be described on New York Times or BBC .
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Absolutely
You can ride the subway go from Shanghai to Suzhou. It's bit slower but you don't need to buy tickets beforehand and you don't have to follow the train schedule. I did one at the end of July I felt great.
western media is bullshit
BBC..,
Really appreciated your video to show the real view of mainland China. As a Chinese, I am excited to show this video to my foreign friends who have never been to China before.

@@ym9528 what fantastic things
I Agree. I'm Vietnamese, near Yunnan, i have had there.
Haven’t been to Beijing for 6 years. The metro station you came from wasn’t there when I left. The city must have changed a lot. Miss the life there. Thank you for showing us in this nice video!
Hi, if you're referring to Daguanying station, then it was built at the end of 2014, so almost 9 years. But I agree the city is still changing fast, for example the shopping centre outside of the metro station got a completely new look in the past few years I almost couldn't recognise it after coming back home after a semester.
Amazing train! Would like to ride on this one day. Wish we had such trains in the US but the oil lobby is just too strong. US is one country that could greatly benefit from HSR because it is a huge country and has sufficient number of people to make it economically viable. instead of HSR, we have Amtrak with 50+ year old coaches (except for the Acela) rattling along at 60 to 90 mph.
I get what you are saying, but I don't think it will be successful. The US isn't like Europe or Asia, and the city planning is a bit weird because it is made for cars. Everything is far apart, and the car culture is deep in the US. Also the budget and how fast it will be done....
US gov't spent all their money on military, rather than infastructure....

The china and Indonesia built HST line started from 2016 and started to run recently with a $7 billion price tag at 350 KM per hour with total length of 147 KMS, it’s the first HST running at 350KMS/H in southern sphere, but China itself has opened 4 HSR lines last month with each is over 200 KMS including a HST crossing oversea line in Fujian province with total length of 277 KMS, China has 42000 KMs of HST by the end end of 2022 and will reach 70000 KMS by 2030, so they are building 3000 KMS more of HST line every year, its still a work in process, while starting with the Japanese Tokaido Shinkansen (515.4 km; 320.3 mi) in 1964, their network has expanded to currently consist of 2,830.6 km (1,758.9 mi) of lines with maximum speeds of 240-320 km/h (150-200 mph) only, 1 year of Chinese HST line construction is longer than what Japan has built over the last 60 years, yet, the current China hosted Asia games has cost $30 billion dollars, enough to build 4 Indonesian HST lines and built almost 5 more Fujian aircraft carrier.
亚运会主要出资是杭州政府。当然，中央政府也是有出一部份。可是杭州政府是非常有钱的。
新干线早过时了
If you regard the investment of the Asian Games as the cost of urban construction, in fact, it is not much. Take the Beijing Olympic Games as an example. In fact, they are still in commercial use. The entrance fee of the swimming pool is about $15.
The budget for the Hangzhou Asian Games is 44.96 billion yuan (about 6.16334 billion US dollars) . How did you get the 30 billion US dollars?

We need high speed trains here in Australia.
When Michael and I were first dating he lived in Newcastle and I lived in Sydney - high speed rail would have been amazing! I think a track from Brisbane to Melbourne up and down the coast would be incredible 👍
不澳大利亚需要更加民主
Honestly if your leader don't keep stick too closey to his evils master by order him what need to do or not need to do againest China all time. Sure your country can able to joins belt and road already. So pretty-sure China will come to building bullet train or high speed train in your country by now.
Apparently it will take another 40 years before the Australian authority will built a HSR between Melbourne Canberra Sydney Brisbane. Try living long enough to see that happening.
Fat chance Aus will get one anytime soon, fear mongering of the Chinese government is at an all time high and not looking to ease up. Indonesia had partnered with China and now they have their high speed rail running.
We love your travelling looks, genuine travellers
Thanks so much!
Enjoy your time!一切顺利！Cant wait the new films!gogogo❤
I had always thought Australia would benefit greatly with High Speed Rail. Getting from Sydney to Perth would be cut in half if we did. Edit: You can actually order takeaway from off the train for them to deliver it to you in the next stop :D But only if you have their takeaway apps and we-chat to pay :D Also, you will have more space if you tried business class on the HSR's too :D
Proabably need way more people, cities and towns in between to make that route economically viable.
I doubt Australia's population is large enough to support a high-speed rail line. The two largest cities have a total population of only 10 million, but are more than 800 kilometers apart. Especially considering that the Australian government will not choose China as the contractor, the cost per kilometer may be more than double that of the Indonesian high-speed rail.
Believe me! If the Chinese government were allowed to run Australia, they would immediately build a bridge between Tassi and Mainland! Putting the Spirit of Tasmania into the history😂
@@Google-Is-IdiotConsider of the efficiency of the Australian Government... even they start to build the HSR right now, you may able to use it after like 20 years?
@@Google-Is-Idiot In that case, Australia can do with a semi high speed or higher speed railway with speeds up to 200 km/hr. Unfortunately, Australia is completely run and dependent on US. That's why it will never choose China as the contractor. China can offer so much to Australia and it's people but Australia under complete American influence, only sees China as a threat.
Hey, just want to drop a quick note: you got to China at maybe worst time of the year for traveling. Now it is China’s mid autumn festival- national day which lasts 8 days long. Ppl takes advantage of it to travel long distances from south to north side of the country. Beijing in particular, is the busiest city on national day for sure. Enjoy your trip but being prepared for the crowds😊
Hello Josie, please remember to avoid any type of traveling in China during the National Day Holiday (Oct. 1st to Oct 5th, usually). That is why you encounter so many many many people, anywhere you go! Also, I saw you brought a ticket of 3rd Class HST tickets, better to get Business Class or 1st Class tickets next time, a lot more rooms enjoy your time in China!
Happy to find this video before I start planning my trip to Beijing, really helpful information 👍🏼 thank you
well come to China!!!😊
as a beijinger, ive lived in perth for 7 years, really miss my Aussie friends 😅 welcome to Beijing guys! ❤
4 months ago i would have been agreeing with you with your statements of "there are people everywhere" but having just visited Chongqing during China's school holiday season, I can say that Shanghai pales in comparison to the number of people in Chongqing. Glad you enjoyed it, my gf gets very annoyed when the world see's her home country and deprived or poor. Your videos definitely show the simple holiday experience that most of us have when exploring the world, keep it up!
Hi Josie, thanks for putting up awesome contents as usual. As a fellow Sydney sider, I'd recommend paying a visit to Guangzhou while you're in China - it has the best food in town! :)
你是广州移民过去的吧？😂
Good video! So cute! There is still lots of food to be explored~ A little tip to travel cheap in China: try to hit some grocery stores or supermarkets. Family Mart will do too! Bring some food along the way so you don't have to be overpaid. Everything on speed rail or even in the train station is just ridiculously expensive.
Our fast train has also just been inaugurated and is still free for the next 15 days. Maybe you will go back to Indonesia and try it because next month there will also be a U17 Football World Cup here. Our people are very crazy about football. Your husband is like me, watching his favorite football match anywhere 😄😄😄
omg 15:53 that's literally where my home is!! I'm in the UK studying right now and I am so excited to see my neighbourhood in your video!! Thank you!! (like I'm shocked because that place is not a typical place to visit when people come to Beijing for the first time lol)
And thank you for your comments! Agreed, I like my neighbourhood, it's a very comfortable and convenient place to live :)
May this trip let you knowing more chinese cultures and different ethnic ,open your eyes ,enjoying your tour in China .😊
LOL ... I watched that match too. How good hey? Not sure whether I want to experience that train station event but I guess it's one off and riding HSR is part of the China experience. Good video. Keep it coming.
Im going through such a shitty time thank you smm for these videos❤❤❤
No problem!
Being a native Chinese living in Australia for 20➕ years.,everytime Im back to China the most challenging thing is getting used to people mountain people sea. But Josie i have to say the timing you visited is a bit special. Its the long national holiday and everyone is out there travelling!😂
🤣在上海生活了13年了，人多，车多，大楼多，已经适应了到处都是人。哈哈，如果大白天看不见人，反而有点不习惯。
Welcome To My Hometown🎉🎉🎉 Hope you guys have a good time in Beijing💖💖💖
China is super cool and advanced. The country is awesome, with high quality connectivity, it is really a enjoyable way to travel and explore by rail and feel the vastness of the beautiful land of this country. Thanks for the video.
Waiting anxiously to watch your next video! I visited Beijing 9 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. The highlight of my trip was the Great Wall and Summer Palace. And I had the best potsticker dumplings ever! Yums!
An enjoyable, atmospheric tour. Makes me want to go to China. Train looks like a nice travel option there. Thanks for sharing. New subscriber ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching! 😁😁😁
we did the same. super fast, comfortable. thanks for video. I like it.
I love traveling within China through high speed train. It’s convenient and you can see the authentic Chinese life by taking the train as people come and go throughout my train journey - some travel for business and some for leisure travel. In general, Chinese are nice and easygoing and you can definitely feel it when traveling via the train.
Love it ❤ can’t wait to see the next episode of Beijing😅
Thank you!!! 😁😁 can’t wait for you to watch 😁😁
The unpleasantness of the Beijing subway escalator is also the difference between Beijing and Shanghai in terms of details. Shanghai is more reasonable in terms of details, but many places in Beijing are still rough.
Strongly agree, I think the main problem with china is the level of details, otherwise it would have been perfect
@@IlovecruiseThere are indeed many gaps in the details. This requires improvement in education and national quality, and it will take time, but I believe it will get better and better.
you guys are so nice, im chinese currently working at ACT but i would say its painful for me to travel chinese cities in summer (especially huge population cities) anyway good luck guys hope you have fun in china btw Australia Women football games was so impressive!
Dude is such an information bureau (re: Highspeed Rail). Actually, pretty amazing!!!
People should give China the credit where it is due like this lady does.
The western Gov. or media won't let you, they want their people to think that their system is better.
只要不诋毁我们，我们就感到知足了，谢谢你对中国印象的评论

哈哈，你美爹不是一直在诋毁中国，怎么，你美爹没告诉你，不行啊，要跟你美爹步调一致啊@@spacefreedom
Great to see your videos for the first time. Come to Hong Kong to see where “East meets West”. It’s best to come in autumn and winter seasons when it’s less humid.
You should experience the commercial seat of HSR if you have a chance, that's the highlight of HSR. Wish you have a good time in China.
I hope you enjoy your time there. I've lived in China for a bit, and it is amazing. Honestly speaking, this is a mindset of many native English speakers that they expect everyone to speak a bit of English wherever they go. But well, there are just so many other countries with strong and rich cultures, and not necessarily everyone has to speak English fluently at all. :)
No, we don’t expect anyone to speak English, we said that multiple times ☺️
Cool video, I’ve never been to China. Excited to see what you do. I always learn some travel etiquette. Some cultures don’t point with a single finger. Much nicer to point with your whole hand.
在中國，大部分人都是熱情友好的，而且沒有特殊的禁忌，凌晨4點走在街上是安全的，每天24小時都可以享受美食。中國有現代化城市、有迷人的自然景觀、有悠久的歷史文化、有56個民族的風土人情，最重要的是中國是美食天堂，如果你想到中國旅遊，你必須觀看很多旅遊博主的影片，以便初步了解中國，規劃好行程再出行，因為中國實在是太大了😊
High-speed rail fares in China are determined based on distance. If you want to experience first class, for only $5, you can move from Shanghai to the next city about 50~100KM. The distance from Shanghai to Beijing is relatively long, about 1200KM, so the corresponding cost will also increase.
Your experience is what I felt moving from China to Europe......everything seems so fresh and exciting, meanwhile the language barrier makes things more difficult....while it's really cool and fresh experience. Just like new born...
Welcome to travel to China, to see you in the crowd of difficult to walk around, too interesting, this journey must be very hard, these days is China's National Day holiday, although there are many people, but for you is also a special experience.
说了一大堆，人家根本就不是十一来的
So neat, here in USA train are just not that heavily used. If you are in a big city like NYC you have the subway and the LIRR. But besides that we just fly everywhere, because you know we are so cool 😎 Another great video Safe travels Bon voyage
I remember when I visited America 10 years ago now I didn’t ever think of catching the train! Haha. I remember (since I was so young) and travelling alone, being terrified of the subway HAHAHA 😂 I’ll be back one day now that I’ve travelled more to test that out I think 😂 Thank you for watching!! 😁😁
May be because American train are too slow, too old and it is not safe for human to travel
Perhaps because these trains aren't available! The Chinese have the option to also fly.
Don't know if this means anything to you, but the LIRR is a commuter trains; not an intercity train.
I love the US. But honestly their trains stations airports customer service are the worst.
Can't wait to see your next video exploring Beijing :)
I can't wait to watch your next China trip video.
In the bustling areas of Shanghai, the cost of living is high, and prices can be quite astonishing. Therefore, if you find it expensive, you can always consider exploring other places. If you feel that the seating on the high-speed train is not spacious enough, it may be because you purchased a second-class ticket. If necessary, you can opt for a first-class ticket or even a business-class ticket, and the environment will be much better.
They limited the speed below 350. Someone told me the train could be more faster,like more than 400km/h
In fact, in order to accommodate the time of all trains, it is necessary to slow down and even consider the stopping time of trains on the same route, as well as prepare for sudden delays. Therefore, it must be arranged when and where it will arrive。The testing speed of high-speed trains in Indonesia is generally above 400, and there is no problem at all
400+的已经在测试了，马上要运行，十年前就可以达到400公里每小时，因为出过一次事故，后来政府降低标准，确保万无一失，
Look forward to watching the video on Beijing!
Amazing video! Thank you!!!!
I do this journey next month and Huangshan -> Beijing, very nervous about having to do it with two suitcases seeing the storage! Thank you so much for the informative video.
My task is to travel lighter and more suitable. Many daily necessities come from China, and even better quality and cheaper purchases are made in Chinese shopping malls.This is my small suggestion to leave more space to purchase duty-free gifts and go home.
I went for a walk and I saw there was one spot in one of the carriages that a spot where one of the seat rows should be but they took it out and it was an open space for luggage - but it was PACKED of big bags. I hope you find some space but I’m very happy we only had backpacks this trip!! 😂😂😁
don't worry at all, I tried two big luggages in the train, the crew will give you priority for the big ones, they don't want you to take big luggages to occupy passengers space
No worries. Nobody will take your luggage. My wife was a bit worried leaving our suitcase on the rack for hours and we cannot see it. The Chinese passengers laughed at us. They all said "don't worry". After 3 hours we reached the destination city, and for sure, luggage is intact.
@@manimalworks7424 *you should Google "the coin stand competition in Chinese Bullet Train" KZhead videos to understand how stable it is ... instead of stand on your cell phone :)*
hey Josie nice videos. I have been here (shanghai) for over a decade now. I have never travelled with these bullet trains because most of my travels are business trips and they always let me fly. But i do know some about these trains cuz a lot of people i know have travelled extensively with them. Regarding the small seats and tight space you mentioned: these bullet trains offer different "classes" just like airliners have first class, business and economy, and they call that 1st class, 2nd class, etc., and apparently you pay differently for the tickets. I have heard if you buy a 1st class you get huge seats that can be fully reclined and very roomy leg space and even offer adjustable foot rest - the same like the 1st class airplane seats. And they have different food/beverage menus for different classes too. I've heard people who travelled with 1st or 2nd class couldn't stop talking about it. However i have also been told although they are all bullet trains on the timetable and you buy a same class ticket, you may find with the same 1st/2nd class cars, different trains may vastly vary on how they're equipped, for instance you may have very roomy leg space but you just get a basic foot rest, while some may have LCD on the back of the front seats with which you can watch movies. But of course you will also find the tickets cost differently for a same class on your trains schedules.
I stayed at home in Shanghai for 7 days during the holiday and didn't go out because there were too many people traveling, so I admire you two for daring to travel to China during this time period
The large population is a characteristic of China
You can also order takeaways delivered to the stations when you train stops there. The carriage stewards will bring them directly to your seat at no extra cost too.
That escalator incident looked hectic. Glad you guys are okay! Also, Ben and Jerry's for the win! 😋
W O W !! . . . A jaw-dropping 350km/h top speed of a sleek Chinese train cutting the travel-time to less than half by road of 4.5hrs from 10hrs !! . . . plus a Starbucks in-flight . . . that's totally lavish!! . . .
你忘记了最重要 高铁上有手机信号上网。
@@mars-oo It's a high-speed TRAIN . . . not an aircraft . . .
@@mars-oo Internet or mobile connection in transportations is already common. . . Thanks for the info though . . .
What a great ride, despite the language challenges
Great videos! Happy you are liking China.
if you want a better experience, you can buy the first class seat, but that will cost twice as much as the second class seat(the kind in this video). Of all the trains , the FuXing trail is the most comfortable one, and commercial seat is the most expensive(sometimes equal to the flight ticket)
Totally! $170 for this seat was already stretching my budget, though. One day hopefully I’d like to be able to afford first class in every bit of transport I take 😂😂😂🙏🏻
Indonesia just put into service a China built HSR name WHOOSH (350km/h) from Jakarta to Bandung.
Great name!
It's acronym in Indonesian : Waktu Hemat Operasi Optimal Sistem Hebat. 🤭
Hahaha I love it
welcome to China❤looking forward to your next video❤❤
Thank you for the warm welcome ☺️☺️
@@josieliftsthings thx for your reply🥰if you have enough time I recommend you to visit different regions of China🙌gobi desert and qinghai-Tibet plateau in the northwest and ice and snow in the northeast & tropical scenery and magnificent mountains in the southwest and also beautiful coastline in the southeast😍cuz China is so large, u can experience sooo many kinds of cultures and view in one country✌️hope you lovely couple enjoy your trip in China🫶🏻p.s. ur vlogs are one of the GOAT of foreigners travel in China❤️
19:33 I really like the way you order. I also travel to different countries. We need to use a few tricks instead of complaining that the locals don't know our language.
Totally, that’s exactly what I do! At no point did we complain about the language! I’m in their country, I don’t expect them to speak my language to me ☺️ Thanks for watching!
Golden Week is the busiest Holiday in China 😂🎉, Good Luck
You are really good at choosing time. It's China's National Day now, with an 8-day holiday, so people are everywhere.🤣
I went on the train from shanghai to Beijing.I took the first class.Seat was luxurious leather n can be adjusted into a bed.Very very comfortable.Best of all u got good wifi n charger socket to charge ur phone. Smooth ride n extremely fast!
I'm very glad you like china and you enjoy your trip!!!
