PLEASE HELP US OUT
If anyone is in Xi’an or Beijing and is free to meet up with us to show us some street food, or something unique and cool that is different to your city, or even go off the beaten track and do something different like visit a small town,let us know as we would love this!
Also, can anyone recommend any specific dishes to eat and where to eat them!
We are in Xi’an until the 15th
Beijing 17-19th we have free!
Thank you
哈哈，如果没有人协助。理论上你们可以去当地的名牌大学里抓大学生，估计大学里的外语社团估计会感兴趣。😂
我去过西安，就钟楼那一代晚上特别漂亮..展现大唐的美景. 可以去兵马俑玩玩 😅
If necessary, I can accompany you as a guide, but I need to pay for my food and accommodation. The guide service is free.
If you want to eat roast duck, I recommend 四季民福. Costs about 50 pounds for two people. Go to 聚宝源 to eat roast beef skewers Costs about 30 pounds for two people. They are worth the cost. You have to queue most of the time, but you can go get your number before lunch and then wander around.
你没看见博主并不是富裕的出游吗，我估计食宿费用不太现实@@WWJ0919
The cleanliness of the streets, roads, parks, walkway, discipline and friendliness of the people and all these tell us how civilized and cultured the Chinese are?
@gjrbbYou mean India

You two fine young Scots, love your courage to explore Asia and trying new food!! Love your Scottish accent! 💯💯💯
Thank you😀
Love watching you both young@heart on a discovery spree.,, you have become the Everyman and wiser. The best form of education is living and connecting with people from different cultures. Blessings from Malaysia. Cheers!!
@@alanshannon3884支持苏格兰独立😂
Their accent is cute🤣
Why does I need courage to explore Asia? I hope you don't think the Chinese are savages like what we are led to believe through our bias and shameful media.
China are quite clean and everything in order just like my hometown Singapore
Hi, I'm a Londoner. No problem understanding your accents. You're both very likeable and have enjoyed the 3 vids so far. Hope you keep enjoying your experience.
Guys! I’ve been watching your Chinese content ever since you’ve started posting them! So cool to see such a sweet couple exploring China for the first time! Love your energy and positivity! Just a reminder though, Chengdu is THE foodie’s place in China, I am feeling almost sorry for you guys for eating random snacks from touristic areas.(Cuz you could have had a LOT more experience elsewhere!) Try Chunxi Road or Kuanzhai Hutong, or even the streets where locals hang out, you’ll be BLOWN away by the cheap and tasty food!
Because there was no introduction from locals, they missed this world capital of food.
This city is the hometown of pandas and has just hosted the World University Games in the summer.
It’s snowing heavily in Beijing at this moment. I guess you’ve already arrived. It’s minus 10 degrees Celsius. Also, please note that some attractions in Beijing require online reservations in advance via mobile phone before going there, such as Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the National Museum. Most free places require reservations in advance.
We arrive in Beijing late on the 16th! I hope there is still lots of snow by then!
Thank you for letting us know Bout the online bookings!
@@alanshannon3884 Visit Yuanmingyuan(Old Summer Palace) in Beijing, it is so beautiful with the snow
@@alanshannon3884cause the snowstorm, many sighting sites had closed since this Wednesday. So it’s not a good time to Beijing.
@@alanshannon3884 Many cities in northern China have issued yellow or even red blizzard warnings. Be careful.
For the water scan, they just want to make sure it's not the flammable liquid to cause the public safety accident.
Wow how safe, I’ve never saw anything like this in any other country
@@alanshannon3884 There have been incidents where individuals have tampered with substances such as oil or sulfuric acid on trains or subways, prompting the implementation of drink inspections upon entry, including having people take a sip for verification.
It's through a molecular sensor by detecting the vapor leaked from the bottle.@@alanshannon3884
@@alanshannon3884 in japan , few years ago a crazy guy brought a knife and bottle of gasoline to the metro and started a rampage. We live in a strange world today
@@alanshannon3884As a Chinese living off of the Mainland, I was surprised and confused too when the customs officers asked me to put my water on the scanner during my first high-speed rail travel.
😭😭😭 I really don't want you to miss some of the best foods and tourist attractions. You could ask suggestion from local people in the comment before you go to one city.😭Chengdu has some of the best resterounts in China.
Generally speaking you won't find street food carts in the main streets of Chinese cities. They cause sanitation and traffic issues. So you need to dive into small streets and markets that locals going.
Kuan and Zhai alleys are very touristic. Locals avoid them as everthing is overpriced.
The sauce of the sticky rice balls is melt brown sugar and water. it's called " three rounds of cannon" as they are thrown to a table to make noise. I personally like it very much.
The wooden fish you saw in the temple is common in buddhist temples of China. It's hit to make noise when meal is ready as signal of meal time.
I’m so excited to see your new video, you know I always enjoy the videos which ppl coming to our country , welcome to China
Very lovely video! It’s cool to see you figure out how to use the powerbank renting machine. You can return the power bank in different places and that makes life so easy!
YOU ARE FINALLY BACK ! ! !
😃impressive :) Chendu looks a lot different than I expected,the hot pot is awesome.
I saw someone shared your video on Chinese social media, and feel I have saw you somewhere. I was in wenshu monastry in the same day, I noticed a foreign girl was filming and we were almost the same pace wondering around the temple. And the foreign girl is Shannon! Trying so hard to find myself in the video but couldn't spot it haha.
I really, really like you two! I wait for updates on your videos every day! You are very beautiful, simple, humble, and hardworking! I hope you have a happy adventure in China, and I wish your channel continued success!
Great sharing. Thanks.
You guys are absolutely adorable.
Wouahhhh😺👏💖🍀 thank you to show us and we learn many things with you videos, Be blessed my dear.😊💕✨✌️😸✌️
The weather there looks mild for mid December. Not sure if you guys like spicy food as they are known for that. Enjoyed your video!
As far as I know, yes women and men sit in separate sections in temples. I nearly recommend Aleese Lightyear (youtuber who live in china) to guide you in Beijing (I just realize she just moved to Chengdu). As Indonesian, I can only think Rudy Chen (another YT vlogger lives in beijing currently) but I'm not sure whether he could be the guide since he's working too
Thanks for sharing, we’ll try get in touch!
In China temples, there is no rule to separate men from women . There are only temples of monks and nuns
@@Samuelsitgah ok noted.. thank you...prob. not for common visitors..
I mean in 2:30 it so similar to buddhist and mahayana buddhist temples (?) here in Indonesia where men and women (the actual / regular members / fellowships of the temples) are separated when sitting to chant/ hear sermon
Enjoy your tour and take care of your couple
Around the tianfu square, there are many museums deserved to visit!
Unfortunately a few were closed the day we visited
@@alanshannon3884 sorry to here that, most museums are closed on Monday.
@@alanshannon3884 You should visit the Sanxingdui Site, which is very close to Chengdu. It is a world-class discovery from the bronze civilization over 3000 years ago
Many liquids are colorless and transparent, and it's difficult for the naked eye to distinguish what kind of liquid it is, such as sulfuric acid. Even if a container appears empty, there might still be residual liquid or gas in it. If someone with malicious intent were to exploit this, it could lead to disastrous consequences in just minutes, resulting in vehicle destruction and loss of life. So, although it might seem like a waste of time, it's better to understand and comply, as it is ultimately for safety reasons.
My hometown！Welcome！
Comment from Beijing! Beijing is snowing recently, if there's still snow remaining when you come I strongly recommend you visitting some places that is "ancient style" like the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace(but in winter lmao). The ancient Chinese buildings are very beautiful in the snow.
欢迎你们到成都！！Welcome to Chengdu!!! I'm a local!!!
Beautiful places
👍
I watch a lot of your videos, update more videos plz, you are very interesting.
I have been living Edinburgh for 2 years . I love Scottish people and they are so friendly when I stay there. Love your Scottish accent and made me thought of the days while in Scotland .
Welcome to Chengdu!!!!
Follow the queue outsaide the shop, the longer the queue, the tastier it is, this is my tip to find good food when traveling.
I really like your accent and your videos. Please be sure to update your videos soon. I can’t wait to watch the next video.
massive snow in Beijing， definitely good time to visit
I like your honest comments. Nice, say they're nice. Not nice, say they're not nice. And also whether they are cheap or expensive. Gives me an idea of what to expect.
they scan for flammable liquid that can cause a fire. it's all about public safety.
what about Mao-Tai alcohol 😂
@@jovicarrington4561You probably need to drink up 😂😂😂 I guess
@@jovicarrington4561 Just drink it up at the checkpoint it's all good 😇
I love China! ❤❤❤
So nice place.Hope to visit this place someday
Take a trip to Shaolin temple, ancient wuzhu, kungfu in China 👏👏👍✌️
As mentioned before, the hot pot is awesome. Also, we really loved the Sichuan Opera. It is worth the effort and memorable.
I hope you arranged to visit the giant panda breeding & research base. It's a really fun place to be
Oh, it's a pity that you haven't watched the show till the end, cause as shown on the board ( 16:18 ) , there will be the amazing, famous Sichuan "face-changing" or "face-swapping" at the end where the performer magically whisks away different masks, one after another, in just a moment.
Wonderful trip，There is a famous show in Sichuan called Face Changing，‘bian lian’。
Thx for sharing
Travel tips for Xi’an:
Big Wild Goose Pagoda
Tang Dynasty Evernight City
Datang Furong Garden
Muslim Street-Bell and Drum Tower
Terracotta Warriors and Horses
Taste mutton steamed bun (in Tong sheng xiang)
It is recommended to take a walk in Qujiang at night, especially around the Tang Dynasty Everbright City and the Tang Dynasty Furong Garden. You will feel the splendor of ancient Chinese culture.
Travel tips for Beijing:
Forbidden City
Great Wall
Sanlitun
Guomao CBD (Beijing’s real city center)
Taste Peking Duck
It is recommended to take a taxi from Fuxingmen to Jianguomen. You will drive on Chang'an Street. Most of the socialist buildings in Beijing are on this road. You can pass by many famous attractions, including Tiananmen.
Chengdu ❤❤ I can't wait to visit
7:00 You need to check the satellite image of that square. It's arranged in a Yin and Yang pattern. It's pretty cool!
Oh wow... You guys went to Chengdu without visiting the "Three Kingdom temple". That's basically the Chinese version of Lord of the Rings (in the sense that it's embedded in the fabric of Chinese culture and traditions and it's part history, part fiction) and that's where one of the major character was buried.
In some big cities, the local governments employ older men or women, unemployed people to sweep the streets, they are given KPI, which they have to meet, their supervisor monitors as well.
U guy really enjoy life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
New haircut Alan? Looks good
欢迎
Wenshu temple is free because it is a religious place (a Buddhist temple). The wooden fish is what the monks hammer on every morning to gather all the monks for morning practice. Wenshu is the name of the bodhisattva, he is one of Buddha's disciple and represents wisdom.
The parks in Beijing are very large and the tickets are cheap, so there are many people. It takes one day to see each park in detail. Going to many places in one day in Beijing will be very tiring
You can go to the Taikoo Li of Chengdu and chengdu IFS
hey Alan & Shannon just run into your channel and your China trip looks so hilarious! hope you enjoy it! i live in Beijing and looking forward to your trip to Beijing and do let me know if you need any suggestion or recommendation on anything! food, parks, museums, live house, anything! do try Jianbing for breakfast!
The drinks being scanned is made sure that is really a kind of drink instead of any dangerous liquids.
In China, chemical or flammable liquid is banned for metro. The security guards will check your water bottle at the entrance... They have a special instrument to scan your bottle.
There are also many travel bloggers on the site who have traveled to China. Let's take a look at their videos and see what difficulties they have faced in China
A day full of magic, mystery, and tasty treats! 🎉🐼
The perfect day😍
you should try sichuan hot pot
Scanning bottled water is to prevent bringing accelerant into public transport for arson purpose by extremist. In fact, you can open the bottle show it to the security guard, they will allow you to bring it into the metro or train station. Security guards are normally friendly and reasonable.
Chengdu is a 3,000 year old ancient city that blends perfectly with modernity and is a highly developed and high-tech city.😍
Nice
In minute 17:00 sounds like Chinese (Chengdu) Opera. Music is unmistakeable :)
For snacks in Beijing, there is a food street in Wangfujing. There is Guijie Food Street in Dongzhimen. The most important thing is to eat while walking. I have lived in Beijing for 10 years and I always eat wherever I go. Many time-honored small shops are very good.
thanks
Shannon was right, tea originated from Chengdu and in fact the Brits loved Chinese tea so much in the 19th century that they were importing so much of it causing a trade imbalance that they could not afford...then came the bright idea of 2 Scotsman (William Jardine and James Matheson) to smuggle drugs (Opium) into China to pay for their Chinese tea. I was never taught this sort of history whilst growing up in Scotland...
Wow, my friend, when I read this comment about the Opium War, you made me feel heartbroken as if I was suddenly hit by a car while surfing the internet. (In a physical sense), because next is China's century of humiliation.
The war between China and the colonists lasted for 120 years after the war triggered by the opium trade. This is the reason why China was poor in the 20th century. Now they are just about to return to being rich and powerful.
Alan, I like your nike shirt. Looks like some lad of irish mob. It's so funny how you finished your video.
For safety reasons, subway safety officers will inspect any bottled liquids, as liquids are not just water, but can also be things that can easily catch fire or explode, such as alcohol.
Everywhere is exciting and suprise me 🎉😅
4:09 the turtle you mentioned here is called soft-shell turtle. Not quite sure what the proper Latin name of it but it’s unique to China.
Hello, I highly recommend you to go to Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li, Which is most bustling area in ChengDu
and The Chengdu New Century Global Center which is biggest Asia's largest single building
Don’t go to Chengdu in winter, because Chengdu is located in a basin, so there is usually no sun in winter. Spring, summer, and autumn are all good. I wish you a good time in Chengdu. It is best to get up early if you want to see pandas, because pandas are active at that time and will be active later.😂
China's London -- Chengdu. Fog city is not only Chengdu but also Chongqing.
There are so many delicious foods in Chengdu, you seem to have forgotten hot pot
Liquid in a bottle could be explosives, for safety concerns, metro or train stations will scan bags and liquids.
Answer to Shannon's Q: in the temple, they not praying, they are studying. the water you bring to the metro, they scan if it is chemical or flammable
The scanning of the beverage in the metro looks like for detection of flammable liquid which can be potentially hazardous in a crowded carriage
And it’s too cold in Beijing in December. There may be fewer people outdoors. It’s too cold, too cold, too cold.
See you travel in my hometown is so funny
High quality travel vlog, other vloger only know to eat and eat
我就是成都的。你们可以去看一下熊猫🐼
Wooden fish, bang it to make announcements. Men and women on separate sides is a common practice. Turtles from food markets are often released in ponds to accumulate good merits for saving a life (long lived animal too). That no shell turtle is a type of soft shell snapping turtle.
The ones with the shells is called a Terrapine, the one without the chinese eat them as land turtles called JIA YU. Cooked in herbs and rice wine. The skin is pure collagen. It actually has a shell, but its below the skin, sub dermal, that is. There is a huge farm I passed last month on my way to Zhang Jia Jie. It was like 1 square kilometer. It was covered by Solar Panels, yes, thousands of solar panels. Under the panels is the lake full of turtle farms
You guys should check out Leshan Giant Buddha. I don't think it is in Chengdu but definitely somewhere in Sichuan.
有没有可能他叫乐山大佛就是因为在乐山
The Scottish account sounds really nice ❤
I think you can visit Chongqing first, then X'ian and Beijing.
The Scottish accent is very difficult to understand. Luckily there are subtitles. I was on a business trip in Glasgow. Landing at the airport was the worst experience of my life because of the wind. Have a nice trip in China!
I studied in Wales for a couple of years, used to live with all different accents. Scottish accent is everywhere on TV drama or radio , to be honest, it is very cute accent.
You expect them to speak like Sean Connery? Scots speaks more like Billy Connolly the Big Yin. My first Caucasian girlfriend was a Scot from Aberdeen and we have no problem communicating even though I am Chinese.
@@serriajohn Listening to Shakespeare with a Scottish accent should be fun.
Oh, how I missed the Glasgow accent. LOL! when I first arrived there in 1996, I could not understand a single word, which made me to doubt the English I’ve leaned.
Guys, I'm from India and I'm enjoying this series so much! I love China! Any plans to visit Xinjiang province? Please give it a thought. 2 Indian vloggers have been there already.
that place looks like kinda difficult for foreign nation to get there, but those place kinda chaotic to even chinese our own coz it's a kinda sensitive place you know , hope this helps
印度人少来
@@kenyup7936 I have seen 2 Indian vloggers touring the province. Except a lot of questioning at the train station and some occasional questioning on the streets by policemen, their trips went fine.
@@flyaaa7155不要这么 沒有礼貌。
@@pandabearoceanpark他说的有道理，有一个印度人来了新疆就在纯纯造谣，爱来不来，本来也没人欢迎不友善的人
The old ladies were reading from the Lotus sutra or maybe the diamond sutra, Eastern buddhism (China Japan Korea Vietnam) has completely different scriptures from Southern buddhism and tibetan buddhism, i think the only scripture they share is the Heart sutra
It should be the Diamond Sutra. I thought it was the Shurangama Sutra.
Must try Jubaoyuan hotpot on Muslim street Niu Jie (ox street) in Beijing.
Row row row your boat gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily merrily life is ice cream😂😂😂
ur accent is really interesting.
You should stay longer in Chengdu!
Or don't go to the scenic spot to eat, it's very expensive and very unpalatable. It is recommended to eat at a restaurant outside the scenic area
I seem to have said too much. I wish you a happy trip.
觉得你们需要一个本地向导，至少在美食上你们会得到比较大的改善。
You guys literally missed the best Part of the show:bian lian😢 Everyone loves it! Probably check the video 😊
Chengdu is my fav. City in china. I went there with my ex❤
They read the Shurangama Sutra, a Buddhist classic.
