Intense 48 Hours in Beijing China 🇨🇳

- 48 hours in Beijing, China - one of the Asia's biggest & least understood capital cities. We started this intense two days, and day one, outside of Beijing at the incredible Great Wall of China - a bucket list item for everyone travelling to China. Later on we head back in to the city to explore some of the main sights of Beijing before heading to the infamous 'fake market' and then later, out in to a local area of the city to experience get more of a feel for local life. China and its friendly people have honestly surprised us at every turn so far, which once again has reminded us not to judge a book by its cover and to believe everything you are told 🇨🇳

I know exactly how you feel, because I felt the same awe when visiting Shenzhen. Such nice people, delicious food and even more beautiful nature and architecture. I also can't wait to go back!
Question: But why does the Western media try to evil China without fact?

I was privileged to visit the Great Wall in 2007 with my Dad who was 71 at the time. He still remembers how he got to the top of the Great Wall to this day - under his own steam. He is now 87 and that is a precious memory for me and us.
You father is so good 👍
Go again, it’s very different after 2008, incredible ❤
Welcome you and your family to visit China again. China has changed a lot compared with 17 years ago. I wish your father good health and all the best.
I know how you feel. We visited in October 2023, 6 cities, and also captured a lot of the journey as well. I was impressed by how much China has progressed and developed since our previous visit in 2011. We also walked the same section of the Great Wall as you. I did not want to leave our last trip and we have plans to visit again later this year. Beautiful country, often feels like you are in a postcard. Beautiful friendly people. Thank you for sharing your adventure. Cheers from Australia.
Good on ya, mate.
OMG I can’t believe that I saw myself at 5:37 quickly passing by Julia and followed by my partner (can only see her jeans haha)😮😂! We were there on the same day at the same spot and the same moment, just unreal! Great videos btw👍!

That's soo cool.😊
“If you want to explore the 3000 years of history, go to Xi'an.
If you want to explore the 1000 years of history, go to Beijing.
If you want to explore the last 100 years of China going from colonization to modernization, go to Shanghai.
If you want to see modern blade-runner-like infrastructure and seemingly impossible urban planning done in the last 40 years, go to Chongqin.
If you want to see the future, go to Shenzhen.
And If add the different landscapes and biomes that China offers, there would be no end to the list.”
Have a great time.
Xi'an, Capital of 13 Ancient Dynasties. Nanjing - Capital of 10 Ancient Dynasties. Luoyang - 9. Beijing - 5.
If you want to see 5000 years of history, go to the outskirt of Hangzhou. 😊

‘Temple of Heaven’, ‘Summer Palace’, ‘North Sea Park’(北海公园）are my favorite parks in Beijing. These are three (out of many more) royal parks in Beijing. For ‘Summer Palace’ you need full day to explore.
I remember the time I went to the great wall and I had the same reaction. mesmerizing, and to think about how it is so long and it was done with no machinery hundreds of years ago.
Wow! How cool to get to walk the Great Wall of China! You two are so fortunate! Thanks for taking us with you!
お金と時間さえあれば行けますよ😊
So great to have a vlog from you guys not just any vlog .A genuine informative, happy and fun filled vibe of a vlog you genuinely look like you're enjoying yourselves.
Its the most I've ever seen Julias sister speaking on camera and it's more than welcome.
Cheers and all the best to my globe trotting threesome !
China is so beautiful, so clean, so green and you don't see any homeless people.
The Great Wall of China. Looks fantastic with breathtaking views. I envy you . 💋💋💋
FYI: pasta's earliest roots begin in China during the Shang Dynasty (1700-1100 BC). Very nice tour. The wall is amazing and the people are so friendly. Look forward to seeing more. Thanks.

You've come at the best time of the year, neither hot nor cold.
As a Chinese, I'm yet to visit the Great Wall. Thank you for the video. 😀
Great volg of the Great wall, and I'm sure that you guys have enjoyed a really unforgettable great day in Beijing, China.
Beautiful video and photage! Love your views and your talks with different people. We wanted to see more of the tour around the wall though 😃
I love watching your videos , you go to so many interesting places. I am still trying to catch up on the videos you made 2 years ago. Look forward to seeing more
Thanks for the great journey! ❤
Absolutely enjoyed your video, thanks so much for sharing!!
great vlog guys, so very interesting, i was glad you went to the wall, my worse nightmare as i cant climb!!! hope you go back again and see more
The flowers are beautiful. The birds singing was awesome too!
What a journey. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
the friendliness of their people is a stark contrast to that seen and felt in Japan
Chinese are so relaxed and chill compared with Japanese

Das war ein toller Reisebericht, die Aufnahmen Great Wall waren wirklicvh beeindruckend. Eure Reise hat euch wirklich an einen ganz besonderen Ort geführt.
Julias Schwester lebt förmlich auf - das kann man sehen. Alles Gute für euch - have a pleasant trip🚂 . Am meisten hat mich eure Reise in Sibirien nach Jakutsk fasziniert. Das war schon - very strange ....
Thank you guys for another GREAT video. Keep up the amazing work.
You guys are amazing together. I love your channel and keep up the amazing job. I would give anything to do what y'all do. Stay safe and most of all have fun. You guys have an amazing family on both sides. Hello from Texas USA. I love the Russian language
Thank you for allowing me to escape my reality with your content . You are both so natural and genuine with your work. It’s a pleasure to watch and loose one self in adventure ❤
何と闘っているのですか？
Great video again guy’s.
I was there in 2006… I couldn’t believe I was visiting places I’d dreamed of as a child in history and geography class. My group could only walk so far up.
The Great Wall is indeed the greatest wall ever! I remembered seeing the wall extended as far as the eye could see and still further! And so extremely steep in some places.
The view is fantastic,what a place for a beaurocratic boundary! The wall is impressive,the walk looked really steep in places, did you fly there?✌️❤️🇬🇧
Love the content and you guys are awesome thank you
Nice to see you after a long time 😊
Welcome to China! I watched your video on Chinese TikTok which is uploaded with Chinese subtitles by others and it’s quite amazing.Hope you have a nice trip!
Amazing video !
Guys, what a great video.Thx. so much.Matt is the history guy😊

行ってみたら😮
fantastic views from the Great Wall of China. Thanks guys.
I love your content
TY 🙏
Amazing video, amazing place......just.....wow !
The Great Wall is like a protective and sentry wall, but also a freeway for the movement of horses and troops to move from one point to another if there is an invasion.
Has Trump taken credit for building the Great Wall of China yet?
@@Resmith18SR Trump's sheet metal wall is nothing near The Great Wall. Now you should appreciate The Great Wall even more knowing that with today's technology and machinery they can barely erect wall for only a few miles compared to The Great Wall of over 6,000kms built 2000 years ago !

Amazing to see the Great Wall, sure was quite the climb up in parts. China looks like an amazing country to visit.
All the counterfeit products was incredible.
Looks like you had a great time there.
偽造品ではありません😂
The shop got the reputation as ‘fake market’ in the 1980s. Since then things are completely different. Government cracked down on counterfeit. Probably since 20 years ago this is a normal shopping center. Not ‘fake’ anymore.
Right, it is now a normal shopping center. And not a big one, actually.
you guys are the best and excellent filming. i would like to be a good tour guide next time when you plan to travel to beijing. I am a local beijinger and there are plentty amazing places worthing going.
Nice video. Where did you guys spend Christmas? Your sister is having a lovely travelling experience
Thanks for sharing ❤ my eyes are full of tears when you were too😢❤
Matt's Russian is exceptionally good I give you a high five bro, I have watched about half of your vids on this channel since January 4th. I wish
my Runglish was as good
It looks like you guys had a wonderful time in Beijing. Hopefully , one day you will go back. so much to see of China. It's a big country. In 2018, Harriet and I spent 3 weeks there.
We loved it. A return trip should include The Terracota Army Museum, Memorial Hall. Visits should include the cities of, Chengdu, Shanghai ,Wuhan and Chongqing . We barely scratched
the surface. Julia , did your sister enjoy China ? Matt, were you flying a drone ? This was a well-done video. 👍👍 Sending you much love ❤ from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki
This clip was stunning. Only been to Canton about 40 years ago. My how interesting. Merci
今何歳ですか😊
You had some beautiful weather while in Beijing. I admire you. But your observations about food culture (through trade and interactions via the silk road) are very insightful. Enjoyed your video.
My 2nd time to view your Beijing journey. I must you you two are incredibly spontaneous and infectiously likeable. Keep it up with all your travels.
incredible experience! thanks for sharing :) my dad is in china right now, I'm so jealous!!
I just saw your video - I watch tons of Chinese stuff. Imagine my surprise to see Julia from Great British Baking Show fame, and her husband, touring China! You MUST travel China more extensively! I will visit your other videos to see other countries. Take care from Florida. ❤
Thank you so much. You are inspiring and I love the journey you take us on. You change minds and perspective. Love all three of you!
wow beautiful weather too.
Thank you very much!
The video is great😊
Magnificent!!!
That was so cute when Julia realized she was inhaling a rose with a bee in it, and just laughed.
How can you only seeing such a place in the small screens without going there in this life...
Life is so short, we have to, and deserve to go to stand and walk in such a beautiful place by our own, to feel it by our own
Oh mine, it’s stunning view and amazing
We were on a Viking tour of China in 2011 and spent 4 days in Beijing and walked the Great Wall. Didn’t have the gondola then.Didn’t go that high up though. Impressive!!! Glad to see you back!!!💕
また行ったら発展した別の姿が見れると思います❤
Thanks for taking me to places I'll only ever visit through your journeys. I've camped in the Grand Canyon more than 10 times and traveled America a lot but never had the time and money to go abroad
When there is a will, there is a way. You just have to plan and save up for it. Go experience a place where you only hear bad things on a daily basis. Your view may change. Everyone owes it to themselves to get a foreign experience at least once in their life time. Good luck!
Plus cost of things are low there.
Don’t go to Chiina!

There are a lot of Taiwan people in China doing business, exchange students and touring, visiting family members.

Reminds me I was there decades ago ❤ thanks for sharing ❤
Well done you achieved a marvelous bonus on your trip one of the few views you can see from the space station UK Sometimes your video is confusing to the eye maybe you need to remind us what time of the year, Summer,Spring etc. How long it takes to get the wall and back.Level of fitness.???
Be careful 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 beautiful roses. Wow what an amazing place. I can’t believe how peaceful it is. Not what I was expecting. Well done guys. You knocked it out of the park with this one..👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍
I visited China app 55 times from 1999 to 2012, in total more than 1000 traveling days. Always flying into Beijing and back from there. In between I visited many other places from northeast to Tibet, central China and Hainan Island. It was great to see you at the Great Wall (been there 7 times at different locations) and also to see my old “second home” - Hongqiao market. We always visited the same shop, and today I have still clothes purchased there. The quality was top level.
Always enjoying all of your videos from around the world - Keep them coming
Regards from Denmark
Thank you for your ❤ Beijing is my home and my dream
Hope for more videos in China in the future :)
Wow yeah ok! So I follow thread the globe as well, they’ve just done Singapore and now in Malaysia and the places are SPOTLESS! Like I mean eat your dinner off the street spotless! Even when you went down a residential street it’s spotless!
Says a lot of the culture tbh! Lovely video! I’d have to be dragged away from the roses! ❤
wow. so incredible
Having met a Beijing lady online back in late 2006 and corresponding for five months she invited me to visit her in March of 07. Her sister also met someone online and we shared an awesome two weeks together in Beijing touring many historical sites one being the Great Wall. This video brings back great memories of the long walk and surrounding scenery. Of course March was much busier with many visitors to the Wall plus those days back then seemed more welcoming to the country. We also took a 12 hour train ride to Xi'an City which is also a must do to put on your bucket list. Would love to go back one day! Ganbei!
потрясающе! молодцы! спасибо)
Amazing
Beautiful ❤️
And imagine the soldiers manning the wall at that time also had to wear kilos of armour.
The Wall by itself is tiring, but totally agree that the view is one of the amazing in the world. Your video shows the great scenery, but being there and seeing with own eyes is a totally different thing. It is like watching music videos and going to concerts.
Lucky, we were there in winter. Cannot imagine people climbing when it is hot.
Cheers.
Awesome.
Lovely video
The other girl with both of you in the video actually seems to be a very nice person like both of you.
Lots of love ❤❤
Wow! Just wow! I felt emotional just watching. One of the seven wonders of the world. Incredible. Thank you for sharing lovely x
Julia gets more stunning every time 😊
Are drones allowed on the Great Wall? Any hiking trails in those mountains? Awesome views and historical value.
Dearest Julia. You ARE the best view xoxo
THIS IS IT! MY NEW FAVORITE CZcams VIDEO. YOU GUYS DID IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!! 😊❤
Great video sharing, welcome back to China again, continue traveling and explore more beautiful places in China.
❤️❤️❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
wish you could explore more of China.
We've been to China many times including the Great Wall Beijing,Shanghai,Confucius hometown,Hainan Island Hawaii Islands Honolulu,USA,Central America,Boston ate some lobsters ,Canada,Alaska,etc .
You know what I love? Not seeing any graffitti
After "bozhe" i I thought it seemed, but after "kapetc" 😂 good luck and amazing trips)
Lovely people ❤
I bet you guys slept well after the great wall expedition 😜
One can only wish that the wonder of this site could be shared with the world in a humanitarian way. However, where quite at odds . Your videos may help us get closer together

Totally agree you should take time to just wander in a new city, get into residential areas, especially a big and famous one. You don't get a flavour for it otherwise. I'd love to explore the Forbidden City, but by going off track this made it a really interesting film with a different perspective.
hope you can really enjoy trip in China. Beijing is really a great and historical city. I lived in Beijing for 4 years in my university life. I could share with you that i have travelled so many cities before my study in Beijing. And finally i chose beijing for my undergraduate degree. I love the first snow in Forbiden City， and have a drink with my friends inWudaokou. It is really a Morden and historical city.
