$5 Boat Trip In Chengdu CHINA… 🐼 🇨🇳 

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

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?

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.

You two fine young Scots, love your courage to explore Asia and trying new food!! Love your Scottish accent! 💯💯💯

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!

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.

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.

😭😭😭 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.

For the water scan, they just want to make sure it's not the flammable liquid to cause the public safety accident.

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!

😃impressive :) Chendu looks a lot different than I expected,the hot pot is awesome.

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!

YOU ARE FINALLY BACK ! ! !

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.

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.

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

You guys are absolutely adorable.

Wouahhhh😺👏💖🍀 thank you to show us and we learn many things with you videos, Be blessed my dear.😊💕✨✌️😸✌️

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 .

Around the tianfu square, there are many museums deserved to visit!

Enjoy your tour and take care of your couple

Great sharing. Thanks.

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.

My hometown！Welcome！

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...

As mentioned before, the hot pot is awesome. Also, we really loved the Sichuan Opera. It is worth the effort and memorable.

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.

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.

Follow the queue outsaide the shop, the longer the queue, the tastier it is, this is my tip to find good food when traveling.

欢迎你们到成都！！Welcome to Chengdu!!! I'm a local!!!

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.

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.

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.

massive snow in Beijing， definitely good time 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.

they scan for flammable liquid that can cause a fire. it's all about public safety.

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.

So nice place.Hope to visit this place someday

A day full of magic, mystery, and tasty treats! 🎉🐼

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.

The drinks being scanned is made sure that is really a kind of drink instead of any dangerous liquids.

Beautiful places

I watch a lot of your videos, update more videos plz, you are very interesting.

I hope you arranged to visit the giant panda breeding & research base. It's a really fun place to be

Wonderful trip，There is a famous show in Sichuan called Face Changing，‘bian lian’。

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

I love China! ❤❤❤

Take a trip to Shaolin temple, ancient wuzhu, kungfu in China 👏👏👍✌️

Welcome to Chengdu!!!!

U guy really enjoy life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

And it’s too cold in Beijing in December. There may be fewer people outdoors. It’s too cold, too cold, too cold.

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!

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.

Chengdu ❤❤ I can't wait to visit

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.

you should try sichuan hot pot

Thx for sharing

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.

New haircut Alan? Looks good

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

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.

You can go to the Taikoo Li of Chengdu and chengdu IFS

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.

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.😂

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

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

Liquid in a bottle could be explosives, for safety concerns, metro or train stations will scan bags and liquids.

You have arrived in Sichuan Province, which has Jiuzhaigou, the most beautiful scenic spot in China. Jiuzhaigou is the most beautiful scenic spot in China.

In minute 17:00 sounds like Chinese (Chengdu) Opera. Music is unmistakeable :)

欢迎

There are so many delicious foods in Chengdu, you seem to have forgotten hot pot

The scanning of the beverage in the metro looks like for detection of flammable liquid which can be potentially hazardous in a crowded carriage

The Scottish account sounds really nice ❤

Hello, I highly recommend you to go to Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li, Which is most bustling area in ChengDu

They read the Shurangama Sutra, a Buddhist classic.

thanks

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.

Everywhere is exciting and suprise me 🎉😅

You guys should check out Leshan Giant Buddha. I don't think it is in Chengdu but definitely somewhere in Sichuan.

How did you went to chengdu from chongqing? was is long and expensive? thanks!!

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!

You guys didn't ride the MagLev in Shanghai?

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

Nice

About why they scanned your water before u enter the subway, the staff have to make sure the liquid in your bottle is not oil or some chemical solute which may cause fire or personal injury.

我就是成都的。你们可以去看一下熊猫🐼

High quality travel vlog, other vloger only know to eat and eat

ur accent is really interesting.

I think you can visit Chongqing first, then X'ian and Beijing.

Must try Jubaoyuan hotpot on Muslim street Niu Jie (ox street) in Beijing.

That turtle you said "without a shell" was actually a softshell turtle, their appearance is as its name suggests. And when they stretch their leg upwards like that it indicates that they are basking, they stretch their skin to increase the surface area so that more UVB from the sunlight can be absorbed.

You guys literally missed the best Part of the show:bian lian😢 Everyone loves it! Probably check the video 😊

See you travel in my hometown is so funny

You should stay longer in Chengdu!

Try Morocco your next stop

Alan, I like your nike shirt. Looks like some lad of irish mob. It's so funny how you finished your video.
