16 Places in China, 16 Adjectives.
What would it be if you could only choose one word to describe a city? In this video, find out how I described every city I've visited in China using one adjective...and with a little context on why I chose it.
Refreshing, wild, boring, enchanting...can you guess which cities I matched with these words? I'm looking forward to reading the comments on this one. Let me know which adjectives you'd use to describe these cities! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

❤Wonderful sharing, I didn’t expect you to have been to so many Chinese cities
That’s me…exceeding expectations 😂 Thanks for watching!
I was in Chongqing during the summer. Very uniquely built city. I got HK and even NYC vibes at times. The city is buzzing, the hotpot blew my mind!
Such an awesome city! Glad you visited!
I was waiting to hear what you had for Chongqing and you dropped a single word "home" I love it! Nuff Said! ♥
Hahaha I’ve said all the rest in other videos lol
This video is a gem.
Thank you!
you’ve been to more cities than most people in china and thats so cool
I’m so grateful for that!
Just saw 3 cities of my hometown Yunnan have been included in the list, thanks ! 🎉
My favorite province!
Thanks for this beautiful video.
Thank you for watching!
I really appreciated this comparison video ❤
Thank you!!
And I've never been to the avatar mountains...you've been to so many places in China. JEALOUS.
I hope you get to travel China more!
what a brief, concise, informative, insightful, fantastic, well-rounded, independent, elegant travel vlog!!! you've earned my subscription. i grew up in China but left for USA when i was 22. you've been to many more fun Chinese cities than me!!!
Awesome, thanks for watching! You’ve gotta get back and visit more places!
Your content is sooo amazing!
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰
Keep the vids coming. Enjoy your content and unbiased opinions
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Chongqing Yes. I’ve been to Chongqing this year, just like Chongqing in TikTok, some kind of dreamland.
Glad you were able to visit. 😊
Great summary. I grew up in China. Now, live in US. You went to far more places than I did. There are so many beautiful places in Southern China. Hope I will travel more in China.
So many beautiful places! I had a lot more on my list. I hope you can visit more places when you go back to China!
Many of China's cities have centuries of history and if you watch a lot of Chinese historical dramas, many of these cities will appeal to you much more.
For example, having watched The Empress of China, Luoyang will come alive if you know that Empress Wu Zetian (played by Fan Bingbing) built some of the Longmen Grottoes there.
If you have watched The Story of Yanxi Palace, a trip to Beijing's Forbidden Palace will be give you goosebumps knowing how Wei Yingluo maneuvered herself to become the highest ranked concubine called "Guifei".
Another example, Hangzhou was once called Lin An, during Marco Polo's time, and was prominently featured in the Condor Heroes Trilogy.
Thanks for sharing!
@@DualityIsAThingDo watch some of these when you can find time. Most are available for free on youtube, accompanied by a Wikipedia page providing a sypnosis and cast. It will enrich your historical perspective the next time you have a chance to visit some of these centuries old cities.
I was really getting into it , but boy what an abrupt ending 😮
Thank you very much for what you did produce, it was excellent 👌
Glad you enjoyed it! I’m trying something new with the ending lol
@@DualityIsAThing oK
So I went from Boring to Wild!!!🤣🤣🤣
Yup! 😂😂😂
So many places to see in this world.
Soooo many!
I really enjoyed comparing my adjectives to yours. 😂 Shame about the misinformation about Shenzhen and recruitment of Black teachers. Overall the one place that had me howling in recognition was Chengdu which I visited in January this year. Wild is correct!
😂😂😂 Thanks for watching!
I live in Beijing, and you’re right it’s so freaking BORING and dull here! I lived in Shanghai for 2 years and it’s a VIBE for sure!!! Shanghai is my favorite city in China. I lived in Suzhou and Nanjing as well.
😂 Beijing expats are awesome, I’ve met some of my favorite people there so I’m glad you feel the same! It’s just the city, not the people! I wish I had visited Suzhou and Nanjing before I left.
beijing is just soo depressing to be honest, its better to go to vibrant cities
Protest! Beijing is not boring! I'm in Beijing, and Beijing is not boring! Yes, I'm typing! You have lots of choices in Beijing. You could enjoy English standup comedy show in many bars in downtown Beijing. Ok, anyway, if you need one to be boring, let's choose Beijing then. 🤪
In the end, you kind of agreed. 😂 There fun things to do of course! But compared to other places in China, it’s boring to me. ☺️
Questions : what is Guangzhou city dialect? There are 14284353 peoples speak Cantonese in Guangzhou. ( actually Guangdong province 55 million speak Cantonese) There are only 7491609 in Hong Kong speak Cantonese. You said Hong Kong peoples don't even speak Chinese , they have their own language??
🙄 First of all I did not say people in Hong Kong don’t speak “Chinese” I said people in mainland and Hong Kong don’t speak the same language. Obviously excluding Guangdong. One province. You know good and well the majority of the billions of people speak mandarin and not Cantonese and if you needed that spelled out then you’re on the wrong channel.
@@DualityIsAThing don't speak same language? What they speak? Cantonese. Do you know what is mean Cantonese language here , Canton mean is Guangdon. So Cantonese is Guangdon language. Be humble Learn a bit chinese history!
If you’re going to comment on an English language video, YOU BE HUMBLE, and understand the nuance in the words I am using. 你听不懂。I know Chinese history, you need to learn English BEFORE you comment. 🙄
@@DualityIsAThing 要用中文吗？lol. 中国有句老话: 谦谦虚使人进步。错了就是错，其实看了不少你的视频，觉得还不错，加油! 没有別的意思，觉得你说不对在这视频里，给你提出。I believe you use Google translator, if you typing Cantonese translated to chinese it will be : 广东话.
(All The Best)
I am thankful for your videos, I watched a few as I decide wether to do one year at EF. Ive been in shanghai for 4 ish years but I came here as a Designer at a big company. relationship and a sense of not doing what I came to do, is keeping me here but as you know all that is available to us is teaching, plus im past 35 and black so might as well jump off a cliff right lol. Anyway, I was looking at a position in Shanghai to stay here and cultivate the relationship with my lady but that training Center position suddenly closed but they were happy to offer fuzhou, shenzen and Guangzhuo . No way im going to Guangzhuo proper, I only consider Shenzen because im black and have hopes theyve seen enough of us to not make it a big deal. But I know that area is notorious for being against black skin during the Covid era so I am hesitant, plus its expensive. No better than shanghai, for the very very low salary offered. My first thought was Fuzhou because its more "Chinese" perhaps more quiet, everything I didnt see about china while living in Shanghai. but Fuzhou was basically under water for 6 months this year so I dont know what to do at the moment. lol! but I can tough out anything for a year to get the proper credentials to do something better in 2025. just focus on getting the language down solid and health. but yeah, your videos were nice, and thorough you are appreciated.
Whew so much relatable content here! You’ve definitely got the right plan, wishing you much success, and I’m glad you’ve enjoyed these videos!
你好，美女！你比我去的地方都要多，其实中国大多数人都没有去过这么多的中国城市😂！
😂 Most of my Chinese friends have said this too. I feel so lucky to have seen so much! Thanks for watching! ❤️
Sign me up
😊😊😊
all were spot on, btw to find the black people you need to go to certain neighbourhoods
Exactly my point. That’s what segregated means. 😂
With fascism looming in Europe. China = Hope for the southern hemisphere and its people.
Thanks for watching
@@DualityIsAThing
Thx!
It was lovely.
If i end up in China, Nanning (greenery), Dalian (Lovely), Wuhan (the fog and bridges), Hibiscus Town or Furong Town or Rizhao (Lovely).
Funny, your definition of Beijing is the same as that of Xi Jinping.
