Two British brothers complained of no Chinese speaking English in Chinese streets. And how many British people in Britain speaking Chinese? Zero, I guess.
Despite the efforts of the European and American media to exaggerate the "China Threat Theory", we are still trying our best to show the world what the real China is!
LONG-HAUL RECOVERY The recent surge in tourism comes after China closed its borders in early 2020 to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, and kept them shut until the start of 2023. But even with the visa-free policy boost, far fewer tourists are coming to China now than before the pandemic. According to official tourism data, China received a total of 49.1 million overseas visitors in 2019, with more than a third coming in for sightseeing and leisure. Revenue from international tourism reached $131.3 billion that year. In the first half of 2024, the number of foreign nationals entering China was far lower at 14.6 million. Among them, 8.5 million entered visa-free, accounting for just over half of the total, according to the National Immigration Administration.
as a Chinese, thank you for showing the real China to the world. 感谢你向世界展示一个真正的中国。 Using Google needs VPN in mainland China, but in Macau, HK and TW it doesn't need
He clicked the wrong button on the machine and it popped up to the page of barcode pay instead of cash pay, so he decided to pay for him without hesitation.
Yes, man, communicate boldly with China people, especially young people, with the help of translators.People in China are very kind and enthusiastic.You just need to break the language barrier and let them know that you need help.
@@user-er1iq8nq1heffectivement cela cache un véritable malaise qui est le déclin de l’occident et la monter en puissance d’autre pays comme la Chine l’Inde ect…..
It takes a lot of courage for a foreigner to venture into China. Congratulations on making it! I hope this ancient civilization will bring you endless surprises and the hospitality and enthusiasm of the Chinese people.
Yes, he was brave. He survived boarding deadly plane, went through the scary Chinese airport and custom, walking through dirty and dangerous streets in China.
@@lifeisgood141 that's not what the user meant. He meant that Amir braved the China smearing and uncertainty to visit this country. Be nice to our visitors.
You are such a fool to need courage , a lot of courage travelling abroad. In fact, all you need is a flying ticket, Period. China offers 144 hour free visa now to many many countries' citizens.
No wonder they don't let everyone into their country! Germany was also a safe country before Merkel let everyone from Africa and Arabia into the country.
A friendly Chinese man who donated and assisted with subway tickets. Mr.ANXIOUS didn't show any gratitude? It is difficult to understand why Chinese people are so kind, friendly, eager to help others and know how to give money and charity to help others. This is the Chinese standard Confucian culture and ideological inheritance that cannot be found in the world.
Instead, this man thought he was lucky. Britain follows US in banning Confucious while Confucious is actually a means to solve the yob and violence in the long run.
Its very easy to understand if you live in China. Especially if you ever experience how the kids are, to a child in China everyone is brother, sister, auntie or uncle, that is how they call everyone and that is how they see everything around them, so for a Chinese person to help someone its normal, they consider other people to be extended family to them. its why Chinese culture is so peaceful and why the people live so well together, they are family not just neighbors. While the Western people all hate on China and Chinese people, Chinese people look at the world as extended family and dont have hate for anyone.
When taking the subway in China, your phone must be charged! One of my friend's phones ran out of battery, and he couldn't take the subway. He had to ask for help from people around him, who generously bought him a ticket! Yes, the ticket is not expensive, usually 3-15 yuan! Chinese people have such a mindset that anyone who goes out will encounter difficulties. If you help others today, someone will help you tomorrow when you encounter difficulties!
China is one of the best places to have Halal food. It is everywhere and you get a different version where they use a mix of East Asian veggies and cooking styles mixed with the Central Asian and Middle Eastern influences.
If you look at the money they are written in 5 different languages : 1. Mandarin 2. Uyghur 3. Mongolian 4. Tibetan 5. Zhuang So this is how China suppress different languages and cultures in China.
About camera, u generally can film everything in Chinese public spaces, including the streets/public transit/tourist areas/shops and restaurants. Unless there is sign that states no camera allowed(which is uncommon), u are free to film or take photos. However, it is another story when you are having one on one conversations with the locals. Some wouldn't mind being film, some would dislike being film. It is just personal preference. Just kindly ask if they mind being filmed and don't be rude about it.
We are also going to China in a few weeks’ time for summer holidays and your video has helped alot. Friends around us in Europe keep giving all sorts of warning about travelling to China. Sounds really scary!
Amir Malik 这位朋友居然知道在机场想先买中国SIM卡，他好聪明哦！有很多外国游客都是住进酒店后才想起了买中国SIM卡的，这位先生的旅游攻略做的好，欢迎来到中国旅游！ This friend actually knew that he wanted to buy a Chinese SIM card at the airport. He was so smart! Many foreign tourists only think of buying Chinese SIM cards after staying in hotels. This gentleman’s travel guide is good. Welcome to travel to China!
Chinese people are very friendly. They are willing to help you even if you are a stranger. If you help any of them, they will repay you double. You can also stay outdoors all night without worrying about being robbed or stolen. This is the safest country in the world and an ancient civilized country. Please enjoy your trip.
i think youll be happy to know there are over 39,000 mosques in China for muslims to pray at (more than any other non muslim country). You should def visit Xinjiang someday,
This kinda proves that even if you dont research and land in China, you could still get your visa and enter smoothly! Its also good that you highlighted (by your own experience hahaha!!) some difficulties that first timers might encounter.
This's what it says from Google for British tourist visiting China without visa. You must have a visa to visit mainland China. However, you can visit the island of Hainan for up to 30 days without a visa. Visa-free transit through China is permitted from 24 hours to 144 hours depending on location.
Don't forget to visit Beijing to the forbidden city, and the greatwall 😅 but book the ticket the day before. And avoid overstaying 144-hour visa. If you wanna get halal food, check the words ( 清真 )
when u see the green sign of halal or 清真, don't worry, just go in and order ur meal, 100% guarantee of halal food. we hv a big population of muslim in china, as well as mosques, u can even find some in shanghai i think.
You are very welcome to travel to China, I hope you will respect the living habits of all ethnic groups in China and abide by China's law and order regulations and traffic laws, I wish you all the best for your travelling in China, and I hope you have a good time!
Salam Alakum, Amir! Just discovered you. Looking forward to watching the other vids and to see how you get on in China. Great content - love your chilled style.
Most of China is a very safe, advanced, and stable. The government can get things done very efficiently - why do you think China has lifted itself out of poverty in a few decades? The West treats China as a threat because they are JEALOUS (seriously), that's why they keep bringing China down.
We've been there last week, views from the bund are unbeatable! I was stunned to find out how safe and clean was the subway 😍 I am not used to it here in Barcelona 😅
If you’re planning to visit to China, make sure you buy the sim card or esim in your local country. If you buy sim card in China, you can’t access to Instagram, RU-vid, Facebook, X, Reddit, Google (including Google Maps), meaning that the sim card is nearly useless
What misunderstandings do you have about China's consumption power? Is 20 dollars a night expensive??? This is Shanghai! The best city in the world, much better than New York!
There are many Muslim populations in China. There are many Muslim restaurants in every city. If you see a halal sign, you can go there to taste it with confidence. Because the owner and staff are definitely Muslims. Every university even has a halal canteen, which is very convenient
tip for the next time use the maglev if you are planning to go to shanghai city center it takes like 8 mins to go to almost downtown and also stops at metro line 2 it saves like 40+mins
That's fine. Not everyone outside of China knows. Most people have of course heard about Mao (in negative ways unfortunately). But most people wouldn't know what he looks like. ( PS. So if you mention the name, most people will know. But if you just show the photo, most people wouldn't know )
The sim car sold in airport is quite expensive (USD $42 for 30G data/500 min talking time). You may get a much cheaper deal from some China Mobile/China Telecom/China Unicom retial shops outside the airport. But unfortuntely not all retail shops can sell sim cards to froeginers and it may take some time/effort for you to find one.
The mistake I made when transiting Shanghai was not having a printout of my flight itinerary. In the end someone from immigration phoned my airline to confirm my itinerary. I won’t make that mistake again. Check-in at Heathrow didn’t seem to know you could get a 24 hour visa on arrival. I was actually on my way to Taiwan which has visa free entry for U.K. passport holders. My return trip via Hong Kong was much easier.
In China, for foreign, if you have some problems, it is better to get help from young people, especially in big cities. Young people can speak more or less English.
1. Use the roaming services of your country's SIM card. That way you can still access Google Map and RU-vid and Facebook. With local SIM card, you can't. 2. The person on the 100Yuan note is Mao ZeDong. 3. Getting a workable AliPay can say you tons of inconveniences.
Everybody was friendly to you. The customs clearance was smooth. You cameraed China more than they did you. Your anxiety was mostly created by yourself. Relax, dude! 😂
Not sure other airports in the rest of the world has its own subway/metro between the terminal check-in counter and boarding gate, it's a 5 minutes journey. Shanghai has this kind of service.
I think the beef noodles is a bit pricey. Some places where there are not that touristy, it might be cheaper especially where they have Muslim restaurants. Let’s say around $3-$4. Anyway enjoy Shanghai. Take care! Cheers!
Regarding food, we have a huge Muslim population, and of course, we also have many other ethnic minorities. In order to respect and conform to everyone's dietary habits, special restaurants will have special signs. Therefore, when a restaurant has the words' Halal 'on its door, please feel free to enter and enjoy your food. And, in traditional cultural education, we are very happy to be able to help others. For example, the guy who helps you buy a subway ticket will consider that your cash payment of 100 yuan will be rejected by the machine because it is too large, and he is also worried that you cannot buy a ticket because you are a foreigner and do not know how to use mobile payment. For him, helping you buy a subway ticket is a trivial but happy little thing. Most Chinese people would be so kind. So, when you encounter any problems, you can seek help from the police, the owner of a street store, or even a passerby. Wishing you a pleasant journey in China~
I understand why the Chinese guy help to pay for the tickets, he just show his welcome and wish you have a good trip. As you choose the payment method which foreigner will have trouble to make it. So he just wants to make your trip easier. But as my experience, don’t be too nice, as their culture they are not really appreciated and feel you are silly. In their concept, it is no reason kindness, they feel confused. Not all the people, but the one upload the video just feel you are weird.
So iv heard that if you have a Turkish stamp in your passport, the Chinese immigration will be alot more difficult about letting you in. Is this the case, if you have a western passport and even if you just stay for 30 hours or so?
