19 HOUR Layover In China (Guangzhou visa-free transit) 

Welcome to travel again

China economy is bleak now and companies in Shanghai, Beijing and other tier one cities are shutting down. China is currently in a major recession and falling into a depression. Everyone is taking pay cuts. Life is extremely hard in China now.Just like how Japan collpased back around 1985, China now is collapsing. In 2021, there was $344 BILLION in Foreign Direct Investment into China, but due to COVID lockdowns in China that damaged the entire manufacturing delivery food chain, foreign companies have been leaving China. In 2023, FDI into China was only $33 Billion; an astouding drop of over 90% when it was $344 BILLION in just 2021. This is why the CCP has contacted Westerners and given special deals so they create RU-vid videos. This is why there is an explosion of YOTUBE videos in the last 6 months with so many with titles like 'Shocked about China" or "China is NOT What I Expected!" or "Honest Impression of Shanghi." Whoever gives a dishonest impression on Shanghai....except those who don't give you an honest impression. People are suffering economically in China as if a depression has started. On top of this, foreign visitors to China has dropped about 65% compared to 2019. This is why China has open to free temporary VISAs to China for some 53 countries as they need hard dollar currency from other countries. Foreign direct investment in China falls to 30-year low Companies spooked by detentions for alleged spying and U.S. sanctions BEIJING -- Investment in China by companies based abroad has sunk to the lowest level in 30 years, according to official data released on Sunday, in a sign that foreign corporations are leaving China due to tougher crackdowns on spying and U.S. sanctions. China's foreign direct investment totaled $33 billion on a net basis in 2023, according to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, down about 80% from 2022. The figure was positive as new investment surpassed outflows. But FDI declined for the second straight year and is less than 10% of the peak of $344 billion marked in 2021.

China is actually a good tourist destination, provided you are not Chinese. This is because Chinese people are always very friendly to white people but very harsh to their own kind. If you are Chinese, there is a high chance that you will have to work overtime for very low wages for your entire life and be unemployed after the age of 35. The beautiful buildings at tourist attractions have nothing to do with most people's lives, as the average monthly income in China is $449, and the monthly income of 1 billion people is less than $274. These are figures released by the Chinese government. You will be strictly prohibited from criticizing the government in public, and it is difficult to speak normally on social media. There are no clear standards for speech control, but the main focus is that you cannot criticize the government or the system itself. The government has serious corruption problems. For example, this year, players on the Chinese national football team can obtain game qualifications by giving large sums of money to the head coach. This is roughly equivalent to Rooney being able to play in the European Cup starting lineup just by giving Southgate a sum of money. Such corruption is common in China, with most of it benefiting from the speech censorship system and not being exposed. Wealthy Chinese people send their children abroad for education because the main function of Chinese education is to cultivate a group of highly obedient slaves. After obtaining huge amounts of money through corruption, Chinese officials also find ways to transfer their wealth abroad and move their families to the United States. If you don’t want to get involved in politics, have no interest in justice, and just want to live a quiet life, you won’t encounter much trouble. However, you must pray that nothing bad happens to you, because if it does, no one will stand up for you. Your voice will be deliberately silenced, and no one will know about your plight. If you care about justice, freedom, democracy, equality, and constitutionalism, you will feel despair, as China is moving madly in the opposite direction. The most popular buzzword in China in 2024 is "garbage time in history," meaning that most Chinese people generally believe that China is moving in the opposite direction of modernization, and the country is doomed to fail. Now, it is just a matter of waiting for this moment to happen. You are not uncovering any truth; you are just visiting the best tourist attractions, eating some good food, and seeing some sights. You cannot understand why regions closest to China, such as Taiwan and Hong Kong, would rather die than return to China. We understand the true nature of China, unlike you tourists who are easily deceived. Please do not be deceived by these naive tourists, as they are helping the Chinese government with propaganda.

I miss HSR Bullet Trains

welcome to china❤

I can imagine! It’s a big country and with so much history. We hope we get to come back and see at least a little bit more 🧡

Lol truth i guess china so big

@@MaxandJacqueline don't just "hope" to come back, just do it!! China is a travellers paradise, there's just so many varieties all across the country. Next time give it at least 2 weeks to explore a few cities.

@@MaxandJacqueline indeed, since you guys passport are eligible for 15 days visa free, here some tips, go there for 15 days, then to Hongkong, and reenter again for another 15 days, or Macau or Taiwan, and reenter, or neighbouring countries like Japan or Korea, so you may maximize your stay in mainland China...

@@MaxandJacqueline别说你走遍中国了，我一个中国人，很多地方都没去过😂😂😂

We are definitely going to come back for sure

wow good

hope he have fun in China😊

Wow! Great idea

4個月能走遍中國？😂

@@yiuhingwong5897 all over doesn't mean every single place, like..your dog shits all over the garden doesn't mean every part of the garden..Mr Wong 😘

别误导人，中国最大的城市是上海，接着是北京。重庆是农村十城市。

@@TAIWAN_PROVINCE_CHINA 我是上海人，从面积到人口上海比不上重庆。这和gdp，影响力没关系。

@@TAIWAN_PROVINCE_CHINA这点我有些同意你的观点，虽然北京整个面积是2.5个上海那么大，但是整体城市化感觉没有上海做的好，重庆虽然面积很大，但是城市化比较好的地方也就是市中心位置了，都不错各有独特风情。。。

美食、美景、安全、自由、方便、清洁、高效准时便捷而四通八达的交通网络、友好的人们、包容的文化、高科技、关键还便宜…… 未来，正常操作的话，绝对是旅游热点！

可惜他开始地图那里 没有台湾 妥妥的吃里扒外

Ah it was delicious

We got so lucky! The girls out front we're too friendly to say no too 💛

100% correct

15 days visa free entry for Australian and French passport holders.😊

About cleanliness, recently I have heard complaints from foreigners about the table on high speed rail.

@@luisanthonychau you're lying through your teeth. Their trains and tables there 10x cleaner than Biden-s table in the white house. Give me the break

@yufeiwu-g1p If you do not call those foldable table behind each seat a table, what do you call them?

We loved it and can’t wait to explore now 😍

四川和陕西才是最好吃的😂

不用地域吵架。中國八大菜系 都是中國菜，都好味😋。

@@yanyan_taiwanchina八大菜系是吧，我潮州菜不服，哈哈哈😆

@@Stagsomf看看你的点赞人数，你输了，不是什么都放辣椒

Thank you for such a kind comment! Will do!

So cool thanks

Haha Geor not too sure if you watched our new video in Australia but we actually mention your comment in the video. Check it out ❤️ Thank you for the inspiration of your comment 😅

😅 sadly very true 🙏

Yea we will 🧡

Thanks 😄🙏

Well thank you. We really hope so. 🙏

可是他们是不友好的外国人 开头的中国地图没有台湾

@@sangstert8061 你啱

Thanks 😊

It was really hot thats true. At least we will know what to expect for next time 🤩

Of course! We’re always positive but we try to show it how it is 😅 thanks for watching and commenting 🧡

Wow thank you for sharing that, really helps us understand our visit better 🫶

Hey Baron, thank you so much for that ❤️

😅😂 Thats very true. And very delicious

We got so lucky with our order and it was delicious 🤤

Thank you ☺️ we hope to come back soon 🤞

😅 ha OK sorry we didn't know

5:51 it’s beef

中国不要付小费的 节省开支😊

Cool, was it correct?

@@MaxandJacqueline Perfectly Right

Next time we will be more confident to stay as now we understand the pricing 😅

🫶

So yummy 🤤

Yes we only had a short layover. Hopefully we can come back for a bigger trip next time 😊

no best man. Every region of China has its own characteristics. It is impressive, but may not be the best. It seems Hongkongers after being ruled by UK for 99 years have abandoned the traditional value of being humble, speaking and behaving like Taiwanese claiming 'Taiwan is the best, the center of world'.

一踏入香港，就立刻會讓人明白甚麽叫錯誤的第一步

We hope to see more on another visit soon 🫶

Thank you Perry 🥰

Ok, thank you it was delicious! We made the right choice 😅

Actually it's called 干炒牛河 mostly.

We really didn’t have enough time to do much. Next time we will stay longer 🧡

We hope so too 🤞

Thank you! We hope to return and travel more very soon 🫶

@@MaxandJacqueline Hope you have a good traval.

Thanks for the tips

@@deyuliu7616 其實東瀛省貨幣也是 圓 yuan 🤭🤭🤭

@@heimuk东瀛省口音就那样😂😂😂

Thank you 😅

Awesome, thank you! Hopefully we make it back soon 🤞

We will! Absoultely. Thank you for watching 🙏🏻

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much James

G’day mate! Love that 🫶 we had an amazing day and already are planning a longer trip in China 🧡

Brother！The city of Guangzhou has been built for more than two thousand years! You say this has no history? Guangdong Province is a big immigrant province. For thousands of years, people from the Central Plains of China have immigrated in succession, so Guangdong's culture has also retained the traditional Chinese native culture!

It was sooooooo gooood! Best Chinese food we’ve ever had!

Thank you! We will have to try Shu Mai next time 🤤

Thank you! 😃

Thank you for watching 🧡

Thanks! We will definitely be back we loved this small adventure!

It was really delicious!

When we come back in the next year we will visit more places and of course try more food 🫶

Hey Klauss! Wow that's so good we will let you know for sure! Thank you for watching our video 😍

Haha well thank you! It just felt right at the time and the food was so good!

Hopefully we will be back soon

Good advice!

Okay thank you! We definitely will 🧡

Wow we got lucky to order such a traditional dish! It was delicious

Thank you for watching 🫶

When we come back we will visit more places and of course eat more food 🫶

We can’t wait to come back and explore more!

Wow that seems so far 😅 but makes sense if your saving a lot!

I'll remember the updated text for you: "It could be Shenzhen, China's high-tech city bordering Hong Kong, instead of Guangzhou. Travelling between Hong Kong and Guangzhou by fast train would take about two hours, not including transit and customs, making the total travel time more than four hours."

Definitely in the near future!

Thanks for the tip!

You can do it! If we can you can haha! It really just made us want to go back. Just ensure you setup Alipay or WeChat before you arrive and you’ll get by. Also an eSIM is essential so you have internet right away!

We loved our very short time there and can’t wait to come back 🫶

@@MaxandJacqueline 😍

Agreed, it was too short! Thank you, we’re not sure what CCP is but unfortunately we paid fully out of our own pocket 😅

Good to know thank you!

We can’t wait to come back on a longer trip!

Delicious 😋

Thanks for sharing 🧡

Thank you too

Thanks for the tip! We will be planning a longer trip to China soo hopefully 🤞

Thanks for the tips hopefully we will come back soon 🤞

Thank you so much that’s so kind 🫶

That’s a great name!

Of course not 😂

Thanks for the info! That’s so helpful for next time 🫶

🫶

Yes we will do that when we come back 😊

Oops 😅

So true! We will be back for a longer trip, hopefully soon!

We would love to take a fast train when we come back!

Next time! Absolutely 💯

We would have done more if we weren’t so tired from the time difference 😅

HI, do you mean to say that after spending 15 days in China, I can go visit Hongkong or Macau and then re-enter China for yet another 15 days visa-free? I'm from Malaysia and currently we are allowed only 15 days to visit China visa free.
