There are many reasons why China is misunderstood. First, some Western countries led by the United States do not like things that are different from them, especially political systems and religious beliefs. They lack tolerance and equality; second, China's rapid progress has made some The country feels very uncomfortable. They have lost their long-standing sense of superiority and pride as the center of the world, resulting in jealousy and even hatred. Thirdly, most of the major social software and media on the Internet are controlled by Americans. For a long time, they have been encouraging Content that vilifies China while limiting the dissemination of content that is beneficial to China. Therefore, I want to pay tribute to you for showing you the real China. You can also point out things you feel uncomfortable. As long as it is objective and fair, we can accept it with an open mind and continue to improve.
I wholeheartedly agree. That's why I'm so impressed with this couple who had the courage to visit China, despite being told how "bad" of a country it is
Thank you for reporting the real scene instead of following the fake news from the Western media. Welcome to China. I am Taiwanese and I Proud of China

A British family of five has been traveling to China for almost three months, because every city in China has its own characteristics and is worth exploring and experiencing.
When traveling in China, there is no need to worry too much because there are no firearms, drugs, or pornography here. Even if you go out at night, you won't encounter dangerous gang members. In China, people believe in the police, so when you encounter difficulties, please seek the help of the police. The only thing to worry about is whether you have enough money with you.
There is an old saying in China: "It is a joy to have friends from far away." We welcome all people with good intentions and fairness to travel to China. Tell the world what she is like. We are willing to be friends with anyone who is willing to be friends with us!
@@Alepfi5599 See, full of prejudice, as long as you don't break the law, even if you are garbage, morally questionable people, the government will not pay attention to you, perhaps you have too high an opinion of yourself.
Chinese people are friendly... based on videos I've seen from foreigners living in China, therefore don't be afraid to ask for directions. Even if they don't speak English, you can alway use visuals on your phone or use one of those translators. Enjoy your time exploring China! cheers, from Canada. 🕊
In China, Kilograms called "gong jin"(公斤) or "qian ke"(千克), but Chinese weight scaling is different, called "hua jin"(华斤, Chinese jin) or "shi jin"(市斤, Market jin), or you can simply named it "jin" (斤) in China, all the same. 1 "jin" is equivalent to 500 grams, means 1 Kilograms (gong jin) = 2 jin, so when someone told you ￥35 for 1 jin, means ￥70/Kg. it's easy to convert. Love your channel, hope this helps. Have a nice trip. (Some old Englishman may also like to call "jin" "catty" and "shi jin" "city catty", which also means half a Kg or 500 grams, but in order to avoid misunderstanding, I think it is better to call it "jin" for your future travel😂)

We will be happy to take you to explore more interesting places and food that locals like. Of course, other friends who saw this comment can also contact us and we will be happy to help you.
I lived in China for 8 years! And I miss it so much, super safe, clean, very developed, beautiful landscapes and delicious types of cuisine. So yeah everyone should visit at least once! 😊
We absolutely loved china. Didn't want to go back home. The people are beautiful people. They accept every culture of people. They love you as you are different to them. It is a positive thing for them. They will want to take her picture. It is so funny. We had so much fun in china. We went to go back too
Chengdu is not the only city that feels green, overly clean and very well planned. You can google "tier 1 cities" and "new tier 1 cities" in China, and every single one of them has to meet the same quality of city planning standards. Heck, lately a lot of tier 2 (even tier 3 cities) are up to this quality, just not economically matching to the tier 1s.
Personally, I feel that there is no decay, and I have been innovating and building, and other backward places are gradually improving at present.@@Naikomi95

Such a beautiful clean city. Actually many cities in China are clean and very safe. I'm super excited to return to China for holiday again soon. Love watching your videos. Keep showing the world the true China. ❤🎉
There is a wall full of murals at the northern entrance of Chunxi Road. It is a Chengdu custom relief art wall carved from granite, depicting the eight major landscapes of Tang Dynasty Chengdu: temple fairs, flower fairs, lantern fairs, mulberry picking, hibiscus, washing brocade, weaving brocade, and brewing wine. Here you can see the life of Chengdu people during the Tang Dynasty.
I personally found that department stores in China can be divided like this. The basement is usually snacks and fast food, the first floor is cosmetics, the second floor is women's clothing, the third floor is men's clothing, the fourth floor is household products, the fifth floor is children's products, and the sixth floor is sports. Brand, the 7th floor is a sports club or restaurant
Hiii Luke and Naomi🥰I’m from Sichuan province and I can’t help to stop watching your videos when caught up one episode in douyin, just really happy and want to tell you how proud we Chinese are hearing about you guys love China. Hope that more and more westerners friends can know the truth and clear up misunderstanding to our country ❤❤thank you so much and enjoy your the rest days in Chengdu❤
For foreign friends who do not know China, in China's crowded places, you should never donate money when you see a beggar, these are people who regard begging as a profession, and they have a better income than most ordinary Chinese. Maybe when they come home from work, they drive the sports cars they beg for and go back to their villas. Real beggars in China are given free assistance by the government in rescue stations, and those who are able to work receive free skills training to help them become self-reliant.
@@paulng2094 According to relevant legal provisions, mere begging behavior does not constitute a violation of the law. However, if begging behavior disrupts public order or interferes with others' normal work and life, it may result in public security penalties. Professional beggars exploit this loophole to earn higher rewards than from regular employment.
Guys, I lived in Chengdu for 11 years! They have to return to Chunxi Road since they did not hit the 2 most emblematic places in the area, the ISF mall: where they saw the body of the panda behind the building is the entrance to the ISF mall and there is a level where they can see the head and the rest of the panda It is on a terrace that is very beautiful. Second: Taikoo Li. Taikoo li is an open-air area where you will find many shops, and in the back part integrated into the shopping center you will find the Daci Temple, a super beautiful Maoist temple that you should visit.
I'm not traveling halfway around the world to visit a mall. There are a thousand things to see in China - I'm not wasting my time going to a mall, no matter how big or modern.
Our next video is coming this Sunday ❤ please turn on notifications when you subscribe to us, so you get updated when we upload! Thanks for watching everyone.
I just started to follow Two Mad Explorers last week and I am beginning to like them very much. While I also like and follow some other bloggers, I find them to be 'a breath of fresh air'. They are good natured and unbiased. Their narrative is not dramatic and you can tell that they speak from the heart.
I have visited China in the 90s twice and it's an eye opener. Watching videos of travellers and those who live and work there is even more interesting to see how China has progressed in the last 30 years.
Really glad to see you guys enjoy your trip in Chengdu. Obviously you guys are very well-educated, open-minded and willing to throw away those prejudice from media, I appreciate that a lot. China is developing and changing very fast so it could be understandable that somebody still hold the old version of it, even we Chinese people sometimes find the change in China so fast. If you guys have time, you might visit city of Xi'an as well (3.5h from Chengdu by high speed train), in which you could understand and experience China from historical perspective.
Need to change the direction of the government….help the average people, food and housing. Not spending money on war armaments to enrich the Elites. It will put life into America again. Hope so.
So sorry to hear that, I don't know what you have been going through, especially about these political lies and hates. But welcome to China again, hope you enjoy your time there. We r all humans on the Earth, we should live peacefully with each other but not hate and false propaganda.
The spherical building is a cinema, and the building with the giant panda is a very upscale shopping mall called IFS. When you are at the subway station, you can enter through exit D. The rooftop of IFS is even more beautiful, and you can take pictures with the panda sculpture. I am an international student in Japan, and Chengdu is my hometown. Welcome to Chengdu!
The price of fruit is 70 one kilogram, and "kilogram" {1000 grams} is the unified unit of measurement in China. However, there are many places where "jin" {500 grams} is commonly used, which can cause confusion for those who are not familiar with it. Therefore, before buying, it is important to ask clearly. The man in the video initially mentioned 35 as the price of 500 grams, and later mentioned 70 as the price of 1000 grams. Buy in small quantities and give it a try. The price of 70 yuan per kilogram is not expensive. If you buy in large supermarkets or farmers' markets, the price will be cheaper.
The “fruit” that the man sells is called Jin Xiang Guo, which is not actually a fresh fruit, but a plum marinated with sugar. Not recommended. The brown sugar GuoKui sold by that woman is a traditional snack in Chengdu. GuoKui was a staple food for soldiers, laborers, and travelers in ancient times, so it is a high calorie food, which is what you call satiety. GuoKui is made from raw materials such as regular flour, yeast, brown sugar, crushed peanuts, and black sesame.
@@mingng9482 The golden fruit in this video is a candied fruit made from under-full plums, which is not fresh, not healthy and not delicious.In chengdu，don‘t buy it.
Welcome to China and as a person who lived in Belgium and Germany for two years, I warmly invite you two to come to visit Taiyuan, a small but also very special city near Peking. It is not as big as Chengdu but for sure it will also give u an image of what small-scaled city in China looks like. Very glad to give a free guide here.
@@JohnSmith-sm7ez You really don't think it's a paradox? Maybe you will think that my comments as a Chinese are biased. I admit that the Chinese government is certainly not perfect, and nothing is perfect. But if a government that is so bad in your mind can make the city so clean and tidy and safe and prosperous, but a better government in your mind makes your own country more and more dirty and unsafe. Isn't that a paradox? I don't think my review will change your mind about China very much, just that I hope people reading this review will think more independently about what a place you haven't been to is really like.
@@JohnSmith-sm7ez without the Chinese government, China won't developed to the degree it is today. Chinese people have one of the highest trusts in the government in the world. They are supportive of the government because of the massive improvement to the living standard in the past 4 decades. No other country in the world has achieved this degree of development in history. You cannot separate the government's leadership in this achievement from the people

Hi guys, love your videos, I have a little suggestion to you two, don't just stay in the downtown areas, they are just looks the same everywhere you go. As you guys will spend some time in chengdu, go check out the park where there has teahouse, where you will see how chengdu is famous for their laidback life style is. Go check out the book store and the museum, and don't forget to the countryside, it is the most worth place to visit in my opinion. Good luck and enjoy your staying in chengdu.
Wow, what a beautiful place to visit. Though it is quite different from what the media says about China. I would love to visit China someday and experience it myself. I watched all your vlogs about your visit to China, and I loved them. Good luck
@@arthurlincoln9093 If you don't need your eyes, you can donate them to those in need. Please see the video at 21 minutes and 20 seconds? China not only has a large number of trees, but has even transformed inland deserts into green areas.
The highlight of Chongqing is in the urban area, while the highlight of Chengdu is in the surrounding areas. Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong, Siguniang Mountain, Sanxingdui, Dujiangyan, Leshan Giant Buddha, Mount Emei...
Thank you very much, my dear friend! I am Chinese, we live on the same earth, and Ireland is also a beautiful country. I hope the friendship between our two countries will last for a long time!
Chengdu is my hometown, where I have lived for over thirty years. Thirty years ago, when I was a few years old, it was still a farmland with only a few buildings. In my memories of growing up, Chengdu has always been building new subways and buildings, while old houses and transportation are constantly changing. The former level was indeed poor environment, inconvenient transportation, and very backward, but now Chengdu has a total population of 20.94 million and a permanent population of 13.34 million. It is one of the top cities in Southwest China and also the most leisure city in China, suitable for elderly care. I'm glad you're here for the trip. Don't trust Western media reports. You need to travel in person to discover the truth.
The fruit you asked for is called 金香果, a variance of passion fruit that doesn't have sour taste. It is supposed to be a high end fruit, and they charge you 35 per 500g, which is 70 per kilo.
If you have a lot of time, you can go to these cities, Chengdu成都 Chongqing重庆 Changsha长沙 Hangzhou杭州 Suzhou苏州 Shanghai上海, from the southwest of China to the east, these are all cities with completely different styles.
If you genuinely want to delve deep into exploring China and understanding this vast nation, I'd recommend spending a minimum of 31 to 40 months living and traveling here. Each province deserves at least a month, if not two or three, given their unique offerings. Truly, China is unlike any other major country in the world; every province boasts a population large enough, landscapes vastly different from one another, and cultural nuances so distinct that you won't find the kind of homogeneous, sparsely populated territories with minimal cultural variation as you might in countries like Canada, Australia, or Russia. Moreover, China's public transportation system is incredibly efficient and affordable; in my opinion, it outmatches the combined systems of the rest of the world. Additionally, many Chinese people have learned at least some English, making it not too difficult to find fluent speakers who can serve as translators. In summary, China is truly a fantastic country to visit! Especially now with their recent implementation of a two-week transit visa exemption, I encourage anyone with the chance to come and experience it for themselves!
The snack you eat on the street is called brown sugar glutinous rice cake. Ciba is made by mixing glutinous rice and rice into powder and pounding it into glutinous rice cake.
I literally enjoy your China vlogs 😁 and will be a subscriber as long as you stay in China. The more hate from American politicians and media, and the countries that are its sub-servants, the more I will support China, buy its products and defend them. Love your vlogs.
I am from Chengdu，I am very happy to see my hometown with unbiased and unfiltered side to the whole world through your nice-made videos. Enjoy your trip in China.❤
I'm glad, as Americans that you've experienced China as a positive experience. I am English and spent a number of years studying Tai Chi and Fighting Arts in China in the Wudang Mountains. Which was very different but essentially doesn't need the 21st Century illuminated paved and consumer friendly environments. But am pleased you found it pleasurable.

Also, it seems that you hv not noticed the very huge 3-D ad boards, very amazing! There re a few in this road.😊😊
Thank you for your subjective evaluation of China and showing the true side of China. I hope you have a good time in China! At the same time, everyone is welcome to visit China!

他们没有太多的时间玩哪些景点，说实话，也没什么好玩。除非对文化和中国历史感兴趣。还不如随意看看，吃吃喝喝啥的。
In China, people use 'Jin' (500g) more usual than kilogram. One Jin means 500g.
市斤
1 jin is about 1.1 lbs.
So if they say the price, it’s for a Jin.
also a measurement unit called "liang" which is 50g or something... I have never got to understand that
edit: I got it right woohooo!
35/500g =70/1kg

Chengdu is not the only city that feels green, overly clean and very well planned.
You can google "tier 1 cities" and "new tier 1 cities" in China, and every single one of them has to meet the same quality of city planning standards.
Heck, lately a lot of tier 2 (even tier 3 cities) are up to this quality, just not economically matching to the tier 1s.
Not really, a lot of Tier 1 city start to rot away

There is a wall full of murals at the northern entrance of Chunxi Road. It is a Chengdu custom relief art wall carved from granite, depicting the eight major landscapes of Tang Dynasty Chengdu: temple fairs, flower fairs, lantern fairs, mulberry picking, hibiscus, washing brocade, weaving brocade, and brewing wine. Here you can see the life of Chengdu people during the Tang Dynasty.

The weight unit in China is usually 斤（jin），which is exactly 500g. That man charges 35 for 500g. Thus it's 70 for 1 kg.
also called catty in English
非常多商家不放价钱牌子,这让人感觉有些担心,在我居住的国家,不标明价钱的商家会被举报,有关政府部门也会经常巡视。
Many places just omit the weight unit. If they say 35, it usually means 35/jin (500g)
Jin is similar with pound
什么鬼？苹果一斤35？抢钱吗？
I personally found that department stores in China can be divided like this. The basement is usually snacks and fast food, the first floor is cosmetics, the second floor is women's clothing, the third floor is men's clothing, the fourth floor is household products, the fifth floor is children's products, and the sixth floor is sports. Brand, the 7th floor is a sports club or restaurant

@@yudiji1596😂This is a fake beggar, he is even richer than ordinary people
@@ousem1680 your right😂
For foreign friends who do not know China, in China's crowded places, you should never donate money when you see a beggar, these are people who regard begging as a profession, and they have a better income than most ordinary Chinese. Maybe when they come home from work, they drive the sports cars they beg for and go back to their villas. Real beggars in China are given free assistance by the government in rescue stations, and those who are able to work receive free skills training to help them become self-reliant.
但是真的很少能看到乞丐了
why dont they get them off the streets? or is it legal to beg professionally?
@@paulng2094 According to relevant legal provisions, mere begging behavior does not constitute a violation of the law. However, if begging behavior disrupts public order or interferes with others' normal work and life, it may result in public security penalties. Professional beggars exploit this loophole to earn higher rewards than from regular employment.
我不知道你在哪个城市，至少我在二线城市，现在很少看到乞丐。虽然你说的没错，但是我不觉得外国人会给乞丐捐款。因为乞丐现在接受捐款，也用二维码。

中国三十年的发展真的是翻天覆地的.不管怎么说,还是感谢中国人民群众过去几十年的艰辛的付出.
是七十年，避而不谈前三十年的发展，是不客观也不负责任的。 79年与49年相比，已经是非常大的变化，49年不会有几个中国人认为中国能全民识字，能成为工业国造卫星火箭飞机坦克汽车。49年的中国连一辆自行车都造不出来。
@@user-zc1ct1xf8y是的，文化大革命虽然死了很多人，但是也为发展奠定了基础，没有文革也不会有今天的中国
@@user-zc1ct1xf8y 你说的也没毛病,但是前三十年走了很多弯路也是事实,至少到六七十年代还是吃不饱饭也是事实.中国的大发展主要还是从改革开放后起算.尤其是2000年后的变化是最大的.
@@chenrenp 中国几千年来彻底解决吃饱饭问题也就是近二三十年的事情，除了那三年其他时期粮食产量增速改开后并没有比前三十年更高，只不过前三十年人均粮食产量被快速增长的人口所抹平，以及为了发展重工业推行的工农剪刀差拿走了农民的剩余产出，而重工业是国家安身立命的基础，也是改开和后来发展的一切基础，而且你如果用心了解就会发现1978到1999的经济增长也并没有明显比前三十年更高，你要明白我们的国家是建立在一个怎样的基础上，所以把前三十年和后四十年分开看本身就是一种春秋笔法，一种人为制造刻板印象的把戏。

The price of fruit is 70 one kilogram, and "kilogram" {1000 grams} is the unified unit of measurement in China. However, there are many places where "jin" {500 grams} is commonly used, which can cause confusion for those who are not familiar with it. Therefore, before buying, it is important to ask clearly. The man in the video initially mentioned 35 as the price of 500 grams, and later mentioned 70 as the price of 1000 grams. Buy in small quantities and give it a try. The price of 70 yuan per kilogram is not expensive. If you buy in large supermarkets or farmers' markets, the price will be cheaper.
The “fruit” that the man sells is called Jin Xiang Guo, which is not actually a fresh fruit, but a plum marinated with sugar. Not recommended. The brown sugar GuoKui sold by that woman is a traditional snack in Chengdu. GuoKui was a staple food for soldiers, laborers, and travelers in ancient times, so it is a high calorie food, which is what you call satiety. GuoKui is made from raw materials such as regular flour, yeast, brown sugar, crushed peanuts, and black sesame.

But if a government that is so bad in your mind can make the city so clean and tidy and safe and prosperous, but a better government in your mind makes your own country more and more dirty and unsafe.

Chengdu is my hometown, where I have lived for over thirty years. Thirty years ago, when I was a few years old, it was still a farmland with only a few buildings. In my memories of growing up, Chengdu has always been building new subways and buildings, while old houses and transportation are constantly changing. The former level was indeed poor environment, inconvenient transportation, and very backward, but now Chengdu has a total population of 20.94 million and a permanent population of 13.34 million. It is one of the top cities in Southwest China and also the most leisure city in China, suitable for elderly care. I'm glad you're here for the trip. Don't trust Western media reports. You need to travel in person to discover the truth.

If you genuinely want to delve deep into exploring China and understanding this vast nation, I'd recommend spending a minimum of 31 to 40 months living and traveling here. Each province deserves at least a month, if not two or three, given their unique offerings. Truly, China is unlike any other major country in the world; every province boasts a population large enough, landscapes vastly different from one another, and cultural nuances so distinct that you won't find the kind of homogeneous, sparsely populated territories with minimal cultural variation as you might in countries like Canada, Australia, or Russia.
Moreover, China's public transportation system is incredibly efficient and affordable; in my opinion, it outmatches the combined systems of the rest of the world. Additionally, many Chinese people have learned at least some English, making it not too difficult to find fluent speakers who can serve as translators.
In summary, China is truly a fantastic country to visit! Especially now with their recent implementation of a two-week transit visa exemption, I encourage anyone with the chance to come and experience it for themselves!
The snack you eat on the street is called brown sugar glutinous rice cake. Ciba is made by mixing glutinous rice and rice into powder and pounding it into glutinous rice cake.

Welcome to China. You are welcome to bring your family to visit China.
Thanks a lot, Two Mad Explorers 😊😊
I was in Chengdu this March. Agree. You hv come to the busiest place of the city but you hv missed one of my favorite part just next to it, TAIKOO LANE. it is just a bit further down of that busy road.
Also, it seems that you hv not noticed the very huge 3-D ad boards, very amazing! There re a few in this road.😊😊
Thank you for your subjective evaluation of China and showing the true side of China. I hope you have a good time in China! At the same time, everyone is welcome to visit China! China is a big family of 56 ethnic groups. Each ethnic group and place has different customs and food culture, waiting for everyone to explore.
Looking forward to next video already!
Coming tomorrow morning ❤️
US, Canadian, Australian, Israeli, Brazilian and Argentine citizens are eligible for up to 10 years of multiple-entry visas to enter mainland China if you check your respective Chinese embassy and consulate general offices.
Visa processing fees would vary from country to country
Wow this is great, I’m planing to visit China later this year, but checked the visa info, its say that you needed to have a friend/relative in China send you an invitation letter to be able to apply for China visa, which confused me
@@Namoari941No, no, no, this year the Chinese government has started to provide visa-free travel to many countries and also provides a 144-hour visa-free transit policy.
@@davidlei6930 That has started even before the pandemic
@@Namoari941 For official visits only. Just follow the steps in applying a Chinese visa for leisure travels on the Chinese Online Visa Application (COVA) website. Don’t forget as well the plane tickets and itineraries
At 14:02 I saw beggars, most of them are professional beggars in China now. Most of the homeless people I know (many with mental illness) are well housed by the government and helped to readjust to society. It is said that the income of professional beggars is very high, and they were photographed driving away in luxury cars when they got off work.😂😂😂
That bullshit has been floating around for years...
Have you just got out of jail??
@@georgewilder7423 nah , locals can tell, he is right
@@georgewilder7423 也许说得是冒牌佛教弟子
@@georgewilder7423 In China, everyone knows that begging is a profession.
What to beg? There’s no cash to give! What you see may be the mentally ill!
Welcome to China and also welcome to Beijing! Nice video and hope you enjoy your traveling! Looking forward to the next video🥰
wow as an Shanghainese, I have never but always wanted to go to Chengdu!!! Thank you for the video!! very fun to watch and gld that you guys had a great time in China, facts will tell via people's eyes. nice sharing!! love x peace!
在中国需要下载高德地图或者百度地图，有路线功能可以规划路线，可以直接导航路线和出入口（包括在地铁的上、下出入口的具体位置）。
Yes highly recommended Sanxingdui if you guys are interested in archaeological spot with tons of incredible artifacts that are from thousands yrs ago. Even though I can’t handle spicy food but Sichuan and chengdu still my fav places to visit！
i hope you get a chance to visit the Leshan giant buddha, 2 hours from chengdu, I think.
Looks amazing ❤
Welcome to China. You are welcome to bring your family to visit China.
Welcome to Hebei Province next to Beijing. We are always ignored. I hope some foreign friends can take pictures of the rural life and construction in our plains.😩

Welcome to guangzhou.I'll wait for you in Guangzhou.
Hello, I'm from Chengdu. I'm glad that you came to my hometown. I like your video very much, but every time I watch your video, I come to CZcams. Are you considering signing up for a TikTok? 😂😂
This is the old downtown center. The new downtown center is more modern, a lot fewer people, especially during night. there is a nice Turkish restaurant along the jiaozi boulevard. it is worthwhile to visit it.
You are intelligent travelers. Thank you for your observations, reflections and sharing of thoughts. Open mindedness is a good thing when traveling.👍👍👍
hi，Blogger I saw others reprint your videos on Bilibili. I like watching your videos very much. welcome to china！ I hope the place you go can give you a good impression. ❤
Bosideng is a famous down jacket brand in China
Bosideng has been listed in the Fortune Global 500.
yeah。I worn a Bosideng jacket to my lab last winter and a German lady in the lift praised it.
但是我觉得这个牌子只是名气大，我妈妈去年买了一件3000RMB，我个人感觉的至少有一半是他的品牌价格，剩下的一半是设计费，租金，店员工资外加上那件羽绒服…
因为我初中的时候这个牌子的一件羽绒服也才几百…
@@user-zy2lh6yu6o 和加拿大鹅比呢。 我到现在生活中没见过好看的加拿大鹅。去年买了一件lulu. 又丑有难打理。穿一次衣领全是粉底。 中国的牌子在同质量范围内 是性价比最高的
There's an old saying in China that don’t come to Sichuan when you are young, as this will destroy your fighting spirit. Don’t go out to Sichuan when you are old. Other places will not be as leisurely as Sichuan.
因为他们天天打麻将😂
As an introvert, i really dislike crowded places, but there is something about cities in China that just makes me want to walk around. Every corner is so interesting. Something about the way they project cities
You are making me want to go there!!! It’s so beautiful and clean
