@@antoniofiorentinodistefano2940 Salve, sono un ragazzo ma non importa, personalmente credo che la politica non abbia senso se non si tratta di migliorare la vita delle persone, dalle Olimpiadi di Pechino ho percepito il rapido sviluppo della Cina e le nostre vite sono migliorate notevolmente, per questo ci fidiamo del governo, sappiamo per cosa stiamo facendo.Mio nonno non poteva mangiare quando era bambino, ma ora non deve preoccuparsi del cibo, le sue condizioni materiali sono cambiate al di là di ogni immaginazione, e mio nonno spesso mi invidia perché sono nato in un buon momento.
I went to Chongqing and Bejing on an exchange five years ago. I found the people in Chongqing very open and friendly and I had a great time with the students we worked with.
@@philiponkui8650 Really depends on who you interact with. But university students doing an industrial design major are a bit more free thinking and critical than your average person over there.

China is really beautiful and I love that the seniors keep themselves active in the parks. Very Interesting country. Enjoy your time in China Michele. I know you’re going to try different foods. Lots of different foods and people.
As a Chongqing native studying abroad, I am very happy to see videos about my hometown on the CZcams. Thank you for your recognition and love for Chongqing. Chongqing and China also welcome all people from all over the world to travel!
A total whirlwind of excitement all around you! You’ve got to be like the proverbial kid in a candy store! Not knowing which way to look first, and trying to take it all in and absorb it all at once! Your excitement and joy you’ve shown here in China reminds me of when you saw your first wild elephant on safari in Africa! Nice! I am truly happy for you, and thankful to Alex for being the absolute perfect host! I’ll be anxiously looking forward to seeing your future videos from China, which I’m sure will bring excitement to yourself as well as your viewers! Thank you for sharing! 👏💯❤️⭐️😁. And a toast to you with a mango shake! 🥤
Everywhere is organized and clean. Courteous and pleasant people - chinese living in my native country🇯🇲 have same attitude and hard working in businesses and technology 👍💯
ChongQing is my home town. I love it more than any other city in the world. Not just because I grow up there, but also because of the city is so “multi-layered”, less “flat” more interesting, more diversity and more “3-D”. Mountains, big rivers, girls… Btw, the “man in black” speaks fluent English, almost without accent, that’s not average, not average of ChongQing, far above average.
I once left my bag with all my money and passport at a restaurant in Shenzhen and went back after an hour and someone turned it into the store manager and all my belongings was returned to me. Something definitely lost in America.
Love the vlog of Chongqing. The city looks super nice and modern without abandoning their culture. Amazing. I hope to visit that city one day. Thanks Ponte☺️👍🏻
If we come w good intentions to look for great thing abt one country u see it … if we come with the purpose to look to dig some dirty story of a country u will find it as well … this is regardless of which country we visited …. Let’s promote love and peace and stop hate
Wow 😯 Michele Ponte you are hanging around with the real deal people(Alex the financial and geopolitics analyst). I am so happy for you. No Nyabohanze scam village anymore. All the best brother on another level ❤️🇿🇦
Another great video China looks so amazing a lot to see ! I like the video get to see around China , I bet you’ll be learning the language pretty quick 😊😅
Hi Michele nice to see you in China. The city looks very impressive with tall buildings and the street is so clean. You did handle eating that spicy dish, I imagine with all the chili it heated up your moments. Thanks for a nice video I enjoyed watching. 🙏🙏🙏💓💓💓
China welcomes all friendly foreigners. I wish you and Alex have a good time in Chongqing. There are hundreds of cities in China that are similar to Chongqing. You can rest assured of your safety.
The BBC will say that everything you say is false. Western audiences will say that you have received money from the Chinese government.😂 Accusing China, the Chinese people and the Chinese government is the Political correctness of the West. We disdain arguing anymore. It doesn't matter, whatever they say will not affect our lives. We just need to know that we are doing well ourselves. Sometimes I feel even more pitiful when I see those people. They criticize others without seeing the sadness of their own lives.
Michele Ponte had an ebullient smile on his face throughout the video. I was immensely impressed by the myriad of tall buildings and posh architecture. Those noodles look delectable, and the drinking whiskey look fun. Ponte- your food bag would have been stolen in the USA. Great content which I thoroughly enjoyed Ponte.
I thought I knew spicy but my Chinese wife takes it to another level. I, like you, was astonished when traveling in Beijing and Xi’an. The food was incredible and I have never been in a safer country in my life. The Chinese people are welcoming and friendly with a terrific sense of humor. I hope to return soon. Safe Journey.
I cycle often in Beijing. Every time I cycle to one place I just leave my helmet in the basket. I’ve even left my phone once in the basket. Nothing stolen so far (but I haven’t gone as far as not locking up my bike).
There are eight major cuisines in China. Chongqing belongs to Sichuan cuisine. It is more spicy. Every city has different cuisines and scenery. I wish you a happy time
@@MichelePonte The Eight Great Cuisines of China are Anhui (Hui), Cantonese (Yu), Fujian (Min), Hunan (Xiang), Jiangsu (Su), Shandong (Lu), Szechuan (Chuan) and Zhejiang (Zhe) ¹. These cuisines are named after the provinces or cities they originated from. Anhui cuisine is derived from the Huangshan Mountains region in Anhui Province. Cantonese cuisine comes from Guangdong Province. Fujian cuisine is from Fujian Province. Hunan cuisine comes from the Xiang River region, Dongting Lake, and western Hunan Province. Jiangsu cuisine is from Jiangsu Province. Shandong cuisine comes from Shandong Province. Szechuan cuisine is from Sichuan Province. Zhejiang cuisine is from Zhejiang Province.
Each of the Eight Great Cuisines of China has its own unique flavors and characteristics. For example, Szechuan cuisine is known for its spicy and numbing taste with the use of Szechuan peppercorns and chili peppers, while Cantonese cuisine is famous for its light and fresh taste that emphasizes the original flavors of the ingredients. Fujian cuisine focuses on seafood and light seasoning, while Zhejiang cuisine is known for its light, fresh, and tender texture with a focus on seasoning combinations. Each cuisine has its own unique features, and one can choose different cuisines based on personal preferences.
I've been spending a few days in Chongqing recently. I found that the city has a relatively young and energetic population. You can hardly get over-weighted because of the need to negotiate the uphill and downhill walk all the time. My tummy can't handle spicy food, therefore, I missed out on a lot of local cuisines. But still, there are plenty non-spicy food options. It's an experience not to be missed.
My family visited Chongqing in Jan,2023 and it is a nice city. As a Chinese, I cannot get used to a little spicy Chongqing style hotpot as all and keep drinking beverage from start to end . For noodle, you can order the noodle without any spicy in Chongqing and its noodel taste is so nice. Wish you have a nice trip in China and welcome to my city of Shenzhen.
@@MichelePonte Wish you can get used to the Chongqing spicy food asap and then you can enjoy almost all of Chinese food without problems . By the way, Chongqing nightview is awesome and some tourist places are worth visiting like Hongyadong, Chaotianmen ,etc and wish your channel becomes more popular and can reach 100k subscribers soon in China. Good luck !
@@MichelePonte don’t force yourself to eat spicy food if you don’t like it, a lot of Chinese just let the restaurant put a little or just avoid it, Sichuan style food is oily and strong
You’re with the perfect person, Alex! Have a great time! Meanwhile….I’ll continue to watch with envy. My wonderful late Son spent almost 12yrs traveling in and through China. He fell in love with the people, beautiful country and culture. He got me and his Sissy into traditional painting and calligraphy…not to mention cooking. In fact, I’m about to make some Char Siu (BBQ Pork belly I had to order special…because here in the Poconos the only pork belly is that cured, Italian kind that looks more like bacon bits 😂), for me and my new neighbor (who it turns out, has also visited China and wasn’t impressed by our 1 “Chinese” restaurant in town…owned by a Vietnamese lady and her Indian husband…they DO have decent Pho, but…🤷🏼♀️). I’m TRYING to move this summer..but my new neighbor and our landlord are begging me to stay…because of my cooking. 😂. Sorry..my health issues require me to move either to be near my younger daughter (a nurse practitioner)…or my nephrologist who’s in China. (Our research team was defunded in 2018 and “adopted” by a kidney research center in China). Maybe one day I’ll win the lottery and finally get to China. 😁
@@hgxxcghbn I JUST finished some rice & Chinese sausage 🥰, and a pork stir fry with my baby 青江菜 that I grew on my porch, and numerous other veggies. 😁. I have a Vietnamese “sister” who lived with us through my high school years. Then, in college, (MANY years ago 😂), I dated a man..from what was “Rhodesia”, but his family was originally from Guangzhou and he introduced me to Chinese sausage & Cantonese cooking. Then, of course, my incredible Son inherited my love of cooking and as he traveled across China he picked up MANY recipes. Last week I attempted to make a Uyghur Lamb & Rice dish..THAT turned out pretty good..my Uyghur flatbread? NOT so good…unless you like shoe leather 😂😂. I’ll try again… I might not be able to get to China..but..I will honor, respect and TRY and share the beautiful culture whenever I can. In fact, I’m staying up late tonight to TRY and catch my painting tutor online. A friend is sending me a rare paint pigment. I want to mix it..mull it, with my mingjiao and peach sap gum…at least I’m going to try..so I can use it on my xuan paper.
@@elaineg60 Cantonese sausage (Cantonese sausage), of course, you can also try Cantonese chicken, Chinese name is white cut chicken, very delicious, Uygur lamb rice, Chinese name is hand leg rice, Uighur bread (Nang) may be hard when it is cold, and it can be heated. It may become delicious, and I hope to see Elaine's beautiful paintings.
Wow… looks good on you friend. I have not visited that region of our world. Michele thanks for taking me with you. I like spicy too. Ok, keep on rolling. 🤗❣️
Wow,Michele you're on the right trajectory. Keep educating us about the real world & maybe we'll change some of our stereotypes. Nuff respect for your hustle. I can see you getting up to 200,000 subscribers soon & putting your haters to shame. I'd rather live in a country where you can leave your valuables outside for hours & no one steals it. It's just amazing. What a brilliant society. Even if you don't agree with the politics you'd agree they've got a far superior quality of life than most of the western countries. Bless up 🙏🙏❤️ Keep being you.
Thank you William, traveling is what help’s changing stereotypes and prejudices. I always try to not follow the news and make my own opinions, and here in China I can see that the average standard of living is pretty high and that everyone can afford houses, plus free education and healthcare.
I love your words "Even if you don't agree with the politics you'd agree they've got a far superior quality of life than most of the Western countries."
Chong Qing is my home town, but I work in Africa. it’s been two years I haven’t been there. I miss my family and the food. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thank you Erezi. In the past I avoided editing this way cause it takes so much time, but once I landed in China I realized my usual video needed a change of style, so I am trying :)
yes. huge progress been taken in Chongqing even in Chinese standard. I brought my mom to Chongqing in 2017. My mom was so shocking. She said she has been to Chongqing in 1970s during that time Chongqing is like a huge slum. It was dirty and and poor back in that time, as my mom told me.

Michele thanks for sharing I like the way you blend in any where you go.
What a beautiful city, like a dream out of science fiction. 😊
Yes, incredible!
It's not a dream, such a beautiful city is in China!
Wow nice vlog thanks for sharing beautiful China u go bro 👍👍👍
Thank you Arlene!
You know what Chongqing is most famous for? Its absolutely unnavigable streets due to its unique and insane terrain.
Yes, but it makes it look like a postcard :)
As locals, it's also difficult for us not to rely on navigation ourselves😆
重庆确实是一个非常繁华的城市 作为西部的经济中心之一 重庆和成都聚集了西南地区的核心文化 重庆是一座非常有活力的城市 欢迎到访重庆
Your honesty is so refreshing that its a pleasure to subscribe and be entertained.
Enjoy China ponte explore just love the way you are so down to earth,, keep the good work coming 🙌🇿🇦
Thanks a lot Vivian!
Your videos just went up a notch with the new editing style and B-roll. Good job!. Looking forward to the China series.
Thank you so much!
Hello Ponte good video vlog keep up Bro try to bring video every day from USA 🇺🇸
Hi Vitha, I'd love to publish every day, but it takes too much work to make such videos
I've been spending a few days in Chongqing recently. I found that the city has a relatively young and energetic population. You can hardly get over-weighted because of the need to negotiate the uphill and downhill walk all the time. My tummy can't handle spicy food, therefore, I missed out on a lot of local cuisines. But still, there are plenty non-spicy food options. It's an experience not to be missed.
That's nice!
我喜欢夏天吃冰粉，一种类似果冻的消暑食品
重庆真的感觉是一个很年轻充满活力的一个城市，我前段时间去过，真的很不错
中国菜有不同的体系，每个城市有属于他们自己的饮食习惯。重庆的食物都很辣。广州的食物都很清淡。这两个地方饮食不同，但是都很好吃，很推荐你去尝试一下。
论重庆人为什么瘦😂
China is amazing!
Wow
As you can see, this is a normal video about China, and it doesn't use the gray filter that western media often used.
Thank you
i think the oppression of the Uyghurs are more important then a filter the media uses but thats just me
I really enjoyed your video. Chongqing looks amazing and so futuristic.
Thank you so much!
I'm from China. I'm glad you like China and Chongqing. I wish you all the best in China.
My family visited Chongqing in Jan,2023 and it is a nice city. As a Chinese, I cannot get used to a little spicy Chongqing style hotpot as all and keep drinking beverage from start to end . For noodle, you can order the noodle without any spicy in Chongqing and its noodel taste is so nice. Wish you have a nice trip in China and welcome to my city of Shenzhen.
Yes, it is very hard to get used to this spiciness, but eventually I hope to get used to it :)
One day I'll visit Shenzhen for sure!
@@MichelePonte Wish you can get used to the Chongqing spicy food asap and then you can enjoy almost all of Chinese food without problems . By the way, Chongqing nightview is awesome and some tourist places are worth visiting like Hongyadong, Chaotianmen ,etc and wish your channel becomes more popular and can reach 100k subscribers soon in China. Good luck !
Thank you so much for the suggestions!
@@MichelePonte don’t force yourself to eat spicy food if you don’t like it, a lot of Chinese just let the restaurant put a little or just avoid it, Sichuan style food is oily and strong
@@weizhang2834 I like it, but here is super super spicy!
Thank u for showing the real China to the world❤❤❤ This is absolutely a wonderful video
Thank you so much for watching Florence!
Give me chills watching such a happy place❤
Thank you!
You are making great videos lately. Keep on improving. Glory is coming.
I’m trying my best, thank you Imran!
Amazing video, Michele. Great content 🙌. Amazing video quality and editing skills👌. I love this video. Keep making more videos 👍 👍👍
Thank you so much Mike!
It takes time to make such type of videos, so hopefully I'll be able to finish editing a new one pretty soon :)
Seems like a nice city. May be one day I can try visit China.
You should Jeremy 🙂
中国很自由。你可以随便访问你想旅行的城市。公共交通发达，安全问题你可以完全忽略。
It's good that to have opportunity to watch your CZcams video. I like your smile and your enthusiasm. From Las Vegas SLee
Thank you SLee
重庆是一个很包容的城市
Very informative video..your doing a great job showing interesting places in China
Thank you Diane!
You’re with the perfect person, Alex! Have a great time!
Meanwhile….I’ll continue to watch with envy. My wonderful late Son spent almost 12yrs traveling in and through China. He fell in love with the people, beautiful country and culture. He got me and his Sissy into traditional painting and calligraphy…not to mention cooking. In fact, I’m about to make some Char Siu (BBQ Pork belly I had to order special…because here in the Poconos the only pork belly is that cured, Italian kind that looks more like bacon bits 😂), for me and my new neighbor (who it turns out, has also visited China and wasn’t impressed by our 1 “Chinese” restaurant in town…owned by a Vietnamese lady and her Indian husband…they DO have decent Pho, but…🤷🏼♀️). I’m TRYING to move this summer..but my new neighbor and our landlord are begging me to stay…because of my cooking. 😂. Sorry..my health issues require me to move either to be near my younger daughter (a nurse practitioner)…or my nephrologist who’s in China. (Our research team was defunded in 2018 and “adopted” by a kidney research center in China). Maybe one day I’ll win the lottery and finally get to China. 😁
Ms. Elaine, are you interested in Chinese food?
@@hgxxcghbn I JUST finished some rice & Chinese sausage 🥰, and a pork stir fry with my baby 青江菜 that I grew on my porch, and numerous other veggies. 😁. I have a Vietnamese “sister” who lived with us through my high school years. Then, in college, (MANY years ago 😂), I dated a man..from what was “Rhodesia”, but his family was originally from Guangzhou and he introduced me to Chinese sausage & Cantonese cooking. Then, of course, my incredible Son inherited my love of cooking and as he traveled across China he picked up MANY recipes. Last week I attempted to make a Uyghur Lamb & Rice dish..THAT turned out pretty good..my Uyghur flatbread? NOT so good…unless you like shoe leather 😂😂. I’ll try again…
I might not be able to get to China..but..I will honor, respect and TRY and share the beautiful culture whenever I can. In fact, I’m staying up late tonight to TRY and catch my painting tutor online. A friend is sending me a rare paint pigment. I want to mix it..mull it, with my mingjiao and peach sap gum…at least I’m going to try..so I can use it on my xuan paper.
@@elaineg60 Cantonese sausage (Cantonese sausage), of course, you can also try Cantonese chicken, Chinese name is white cut chicken, very delicious, Uygur lamb rice, Chinese name is hand leg rice, Uighur bread (Nang) may be hard when it is cold, and it can be heated. It may become delicious, and I hope to see Elaine's beautiful paintings.
It's hard to see the information of your son.
I am looking forward to traveling in China, even living, and seeing what your son likes it looks like.
希望您有机会可以来中国，食物永远都是不同文化之间嘴里直接的交流
哇，欢迎来到重庆，谢谢你把重庆拍的这么好，希望所有人对中国都有正确的认识。
I like this video! It is very natural! No retouching! No acting! Wish you enjoyed your stay in China!
Thanks a lot :)
Wow… looks good on you friend. I have not visited that region of our world. Michele thanks for taking me with you. I like spicy too. Ok, keep on rolling. 🤗❣️
Chongqing is an amazing place indeed, I have been there for 2 years , the food , the people there are amazing!
It’s the food for me looks delicious. You are mad though the amount of chilliest in that food is crazy you did well. I am enjoying china vlogs 💕
Thanks a lot Gerty!
nice city,nice guys,great experiences, thanks for sharing~
Wow,Michele you're on the right trajectory.
Keep educating us about the real world & maybe we'll change some of our stereotypes.
Nuff respect for your hustle.
I can see you getting up to 200,000 subscribers soon & putting your haters to shame.
I'd rather live in a country where you can leave your valuables outside for hours & no one steals it.
It's just amazing.
What a brilliant society.
Even if you don't agree with the politics you'd agree they've got a far superior quality of life than most of the western countries.
Bless up 🙏🙏❤️
Keep being you.
Thank you William, traveling is what help’s changing stereotypes and prejudices. I always try to not follow the news and make my own opinions, and here in China I can see that the average standard of living is pretty high and that everyone can afford houses, plus free education and healthcare.
@@MichelePonte并不是每个人都买得起房子，在中国尤其是在城市里，房子是年轻人主要的负担，它实在是太贵了。
贵重物品不能放，他放的只是一些食物头盔或者日常的生活用品，这些一般是没有人会去拿的，但是如果放手机电脑那就不一定了，我的意思是不管在哪个地方都会有偷盗者😂
I love your words "Even if you don't agree with the politics you'd agree they've got a far superior quality of life than most of the Western countries."
@@user-du8jz8mx7k 哥们，关于房子是有很多折中的选项的，不要因为房子透支自己，确实不能指望在职业生涯的早期拥有一个还可以的房子，大部分人的薪酬水平不允许
我在米兰看到Michele的新闻来看你精心制作的视频，为你非常客观的介绍了我的家乡-重庆而点赞👍👍👍

Chong Qing is my home town, but I work in Africa. it’s been two years I haven’t been there. I miss my family and the food. Thanks for sharing this video.
学土木的吗？怎么去非洲工作了
You've improved a lot on your video editing skills which is absolutely amazing. I enjoy your content
Thank you Erezi. In the past I avoided editing this way cause it takes so much time, but once I landed in China I realized my usual video needed a change of style, so I am trying :)
Pse subscribe nd hit Likes
@@MichelePonte Nice change. Love it.
Wow! Congratulations to you Michele ponte you're doing good job over there 👏 🎉🎉🎉❤
Thank you Alexandrine
I can tell so many progress happening in chonqing, i went there in 2009 and cant wait to go there again 👍❤️🇨🇳
That’s nice!
Come on
yes. huge progress been taken in Chongqing even in Chinese standard. I brought my mom to Chongqing in 2017. My mom was so shocking. She said she has been to Chongqing in 1970s during that time Chongqing is like a huge slum. It was dirty and and poor back in that time, as my mom told me.
Wow the food looks absolutely amazing!
Hello Ponte.. nice watching you touring China.
Thank you Caroline!
@@MichelePonte welcome Bro.. and keep going God will continue blessing you
And Ponte's shooting skills at a whole new level. Amazing videos!
I enjoyed watching this and seeing a part of China that I have never seen. Great.👌👌👌
Thank you Berina!
在中国没有开摩托车的自由这令我感到遗憾，但是重庆开摩托车是自由的，没有限制！这是我唯一向往的城市，因为我热爱开摩托车
