@@zingwibrothers Now is the summer vacation season for students, and people from all over the country are bringing their children to Beijing for tourism, there are too many people. Hope you have a good time.
@@zingwibrothers Does your camera count as a CCTV?😂 Your works are full of strangers. Do they agree with you to shoot? CCTV only works for bad people. Are you going to rob or rape in China? Why are you afraid? Welcome to London, the city with the most CCTV!😅
Fun fact: The most surveilled country in the world is Singapore, and the most surveilled city in the world is London. The crime rate in the UK is still very high, and the BBC never criticizes the UK, only China. Chinese girls can go out for barbecue late at night, but they would never dare to do so in Europe.The main function of security surveillance is to save video. If a case occurs, the police will retrieve the video and quickly solve the case. Therefore, China is a very safe country. But Western media will criticize that there are no human rights and freedoms.
Some cities in India, London have more cctv than Shanghai and Beijing per 1000 people. Yet, these cities in India and London are not as safe as in the Chinese cities.
@@tara19910my goodness, are you living in Middle Ages? You simply have no life to believe in such a lie. Check other RU-vid who HAVE been to China, check out their live show. Ouch, I forgot you are blinded and closed minded, sorry to see you have been totally brainwashed by western lies.
@johnli-sj7li I would like to go collect cia credit points , but sadly, I am banned from traveling. I can't even book a bus ticket since my social credit score is so low, I am planning to smuggle myself into usa like thousands of Chinese are doing , what do you say?
China is probably the only place on earth where you can get first world quality food and hygiene standards at third world prices. It’s literally a paradise.
Another revelation for you guys, the way that the locals treat you guys, is also the way different ethnic groups treat the others, e.g. a Han treats Uyghurs. Think about how ridiculous Chinese people find the accusation of Uyghur Genocide. Just because the colonizers almost completed their genicides in North America and Austrilia, doesn't mean every country does the same.
We are in no position to make claims or remarks on heavy political topics like that, we are simply not informed enough on both sides. We don’t want to involve us in political discussions, and about weither something is propaganda or not. We just want to travel this country and experience it for ourselves.
@@zingwibrothersyou don't need to be engaged in political argument. You've already seen what Gaza is like with all the social media. Then go to xinjiang and see how peaceful prosperous and happy people there are. Compare the two. You will know which part of the world is having a Genocide right now! By the way Xinjiang is so beautiful definitely worth visiting!
@@zingwibrothers China’s main ethnic groups, Han and Muslims, have lived together for thousands of years. Let’s go to Urumqi, Kashgar, Yining, Xinjiang and see
Once when Jack Ma was eating at a restaurant in the United States, he suddenly had an idea and asked the waiter if he knew the name Alibaba. The waiter replied that he knew and told Jack Ma that Alibaba's spell to open the treasure was "Open Sesame". After that, Jack Ma repeatedly asked others in various places. After this test, Jack Ma found that the story of Alibaba was known to people all over the world, and the pronunciation was almost the same regardless of language. "From my grandmother to my son, they all read Alibaba." Just like that, Jack Ma decided to name "Alibaba" as the company name. It is worth noting that when faced with this answer, Jack Ma was very excited and determined to name his Internet company "Alibaba". At the same time, Jack Ma also said that Alibaba must be a good name because the English word "Alibaba" begins with the letter A, which to a certain extent means that Alibaba must be the first in everything.
Welcome to Beijing. Beijing in chinese, means the capital city in the north. It was capital city of 6 dynasties during the long history of China. Beijing is my hometown,( I am living in Canada). I return back every year, I am so happy and astonished about the conveniences it supplies there .Actually, all the conveniences are a reflect in China as a whole. Go to explore it, you will surely have big fun there. 😃😃😃🌹🌹🌹
@@zingwibrothers London has the most CCTV per capita in the world and they are still unsafe. contrast this with east and SE asia, not just china, and it's more safe than a lot of western countries. i think this is in huge part cultural and has less to do with surveillance.
Regarding the duck carcass at the end of a meal in a Peking duck restaurant, you can ask when ordering if it can be made into a soup or seasoned with salt and pepper. Many restaurants offer this as a complimentary service, while some might charge a small extra fee (which is quite affordable). This way, you get two dishes: a beautifully prepared Peking duck and a soup or salt-and-pepper duck carcass.
It's very true Chinese people don't waste any food, we had gone through hard times, we cherish food, and tend to make use of every single part of an animal.
Actually all ancient civilisations eat the whole animal from nose to tail - nothing goes to waste because animals are precious before industrial farming and refrigeration were invented. This is not just in Asia. In Europe, the French uses liver, blood and marrow for many of their dishes.
It is good traits of being resourceful and adaptable!! Having a wide varied diet helps the population survive through droughts, famines, war etc. Nothing to be ashamed of, it isn't as if people are eating poop.
@@s._3560 Yes indeed, even if Chinese people have already got rid of poverty and get modernized, eating animal organs has already been important part of Chinese food culture because they are delicious.👍
@@zingwibrothersMuslim culture has been part of China for thousands years since Silk Road started, Ali not only means Middle East or Arab , but also means Muslim culture in China, their is a whole street in Beijing called niujie, a Muslim street
@@zingwibrothers No, no, no, because after the roast duck meat is cut out by the knife, there is still a lot of meat left on the bones, so you can ask the restaurant to fry it, and then eat the meat on the bones.
The more you bros get to know the real China the more you will see the false and bias views the western propaganda machine is simply nothing more then an insult to your intelligent. But please be prepared that your minds will likely wanting to except it easily. So there will be a mental struggle for sure. If you can remember that this is not about Chinese is superior or better then the west etc. Simply Chinese don’t have the same mentality as the people in the west. The Chinese only want to improve themselves so there people can live a better life toward the future. If anybody including the counties of the west want to learn china’s experiences, China is happy to share.
Why Alibaba, at that time, Jack Ma (Founder of Alibaba) wanted to give his company an international name. He thought the name "Alibaba" is pretty nice. When he was eating in a restaurant in the United States, he asked the waiter, "Do you know Alibaba?" , the waiter's answered "Open sesame". Faced with this answer, Jack Ma was very excited and determined to pick this name. And the name also starts with the letter A, this to a certain extent means that Alibaba to be first
I am very happy that someone can give a fair evaluation of China. In fact, there are many more delicious foods in China. I look forward to you exploring more cities in China!
Ali baba, story of magic genie and flying carpets, is sometimes potrayed as being set in China, although distinctly arabian, middle eastern. To this day, Christmas pantomimes in the UK play out during Christmas, will feature this story as being set in Kashgar. Kashgar is still in China and was an important satellite city borne out of the Silk Road; an important ancient overland trade route between Far East China and Middle East and the West. Many things were traded not just silks. So for Jack Ma, his B2C marketplace is appropriately named after Ali Baba, the most famous familar story set in the ancient silk route.
@@zingwibrothers To be honest, I don't think Shenzhen is a good city to visit because there are no good attractions there. What Shenzhen has you can see in other cities. Even Shenzhen locals agree there is nothing special about the city. Compared with Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guangxi and other places have more tourism value.
@@zingwibrothers Also in Guangdong Province, it is better to go to Guangzhou or Shunde. The culinary capital of China, these two are at the top of the list. also, they have varieties of Cantonese culture different with Other cities.
@@zingwibrothersshenzhen is a man-made tech city, it’s awesome in terms of tech wonders but it’s not a city basking in the rich cultures of China. You will find it very expensive also for backpack travelers. There are many other more interesting places in China to visit first.
I guess jack ma wants to own everything…just like what happens when saying Alibaba in the story, the door of wealth opens for him...he is a greedy businessman
@@zingwibrothers I guess they just took the first three letters from Alibaba to become Alipay. If you are wondering any meaning in this "Ali" in term of Chinese culture or meaning, no, not really (even though Ali can be a name in middle-east Muslim world).
@@zingwibrothers The name "Alibaba" originates from the Arabian Nights tale of "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," which is a widely known story in China.
4:34 Those cameras are useful for traffic control. Traffic jam is an issue for all cities with a huge population. Baidu Map and Gode Map shows the instant road situations. Anyway, always bear in mind we have loads of people.😊
Hey, I’m the local from Beijing. Love to watch ur videos. U must visit “HuTong” in Dongcheng district to have a local city tour. And avoid the tourist areas, those areas are expensive and the foods are not good to eat. If u need some information, please tell me. Maybe I can show u around and eat some special Beijing local food
@@Fenchel-hg what I meant is not places in china but I saw your culture, food and other habits etc. ma through that guys. We all know that it will take time to visit all places God bless you ma.

I don't understand why some people take big issue at cameras in China specifically. We are under constant surveillance of FBI and NSA here in the US. Cameras are everywhere in the city I live in, streets, highways, schools, office buildings, homes, etc.
@@zingwibrothersI would suggest you to do a social experiment to understand what those cameras are for. Put your wallet or any of your belongings somewhere in public places and leave. Then call the police and tell them you lost it, and see if they will find it for you. Most probably they will, in a few hours! Those cameras are not for surveillance, it's for recording, if anything happens they will check and find out.
@@zingwibrothersI'm sure there are limitations for camera use in Germany, as well as in China and USA. But it would be illusional to believe you are not under surveillance when you're in Germany or USA. It was reported Chancellor Merkel's mobile phone was hacked by NSA. Imagine that!
@@MidwestBrother You're so concerned about footage, doesn't your country have footage? U.S. Snowden Prismgate surveillance worldwide. Isn't that an invasion of your privacy? Nobody talks about it every day.
@@MidwestBrother Chinese people do not want to be robbed or harmed in public places, so they are willing to exchange some privacy. If you have a child and one day your child is kidnapped, would you choose to rescue the child or choose privacy?
Just came back from the US and I think Apple products in China is slightly cheaper than in the US under current currency ratio. The US iPhone was ~10% cheaper 5 years ago when 1 USD was 6.5 Yuan (now 7.3 Yuan). But iPhone in Europe I think is the most expensive at any time if I didn't remember wrong... Also I guess the Europe cars are also becoming cheaper and cheaper than before due to competition in Chinese market, a BMW 325 made by BMW China is around 320K Yuan (~40K euro) landed cost or even lower. Not sure how it is in Germany.
@@zingwibrothers just from the famous Arabic story "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves". The pronunciation of 'Alibaba' is similar in different languages, so this name was chosen🤣
Alibaba can be read in many languages,that’s why Jack Ma use it, he wants to his company popular 😊 If you guys still here in Beijing, my husband and I desperately want to show you around. There are so much fun in the second ring of Beijing and thank you for loving this city❤
There are 1.4 billions of Chinese people in China and most of them come to Shanghai and Beijing as a tourist like you two. Keep that in your mind and it will be easier for you to understand why they are taking so many pictures is the touristy areas where you go.
You guys are right that Chinese people eat everything ,a lot of stalls sell duck head and rabbit head(mostly in Sichuan), I like pork brain the best,especially in the hotpot,super dilicious,you should try it😂
Hi guys, wenn ihr zur Chinesischen Mauer gehen wollte, empfehle ich euch, zum Abschnitt Mutianyu zu gehen. Dort werden weniger Touristen sein, aber es liegt weiter von der Stadt entfernt als der Teil Badaling. Viele spaß !😀
I went to visit Germany for the first time last year, it was also not what I expected. I thought I would see WW2 flags, skinheads every where and people to hostile to black and brown people. But they were mostly nice.
22:40 lol, didn't expect that they give you the bones~usually we order the duck with the wrap and ask the kitchen to boil soup using the duck bones~the soup tastes amazing as well😬
wow, that was actually my neiborhood , i went to that 106 place regularly , very nice reasturant . for any Peking duck restaurant , you can ask them make soup or deep fried with the rest of the duck for a small fee, no need to bring it home. but for locals we often bring it back since there are so much meat left with the duck.
The way to eat Pekin Duck is to roll a couple of pieces of duck into the pan-cake, together with the sauce and the cucumber and green onion, of course.
Weil Alibaba nicht nur weltweit bekannt ist, sondern auch eine universelle Anziehungskraft hat, die über sprachliche und kulturelle Barrieren hinweggeht
You can try Beijing hot pot, it is not spicy, it is different from Sichuan hot pot.Beijing is in the north, I think it is more suitable for European tastes!
@@zingwibrothers If you are already a little familiar with China. You can leave the big city. Go to a remote area. It should have more character. For example, Xinjiang, Tibet, Yunnan, Guizhou and so on
There are many famous old restaurants in Beijing which you guys can google, includes: 紫光园 (Ziguang yuan restaurant), 东来顺 (dong lai shun restaurant), 玉华台饭店 (Yuhuatai Restaurant), 鸭儿李记涮肉 (ya er li ji hotpot).
Climbing the Great Wall in summer can be very hot. There are several Great Wall parks in Beijing, and the most famous and popular one is the Badaling Great Wall. Currently, it is summer vacation, and many Chinese people come to Beijing for tourism. Badaling will be the first choice for everyone. I suggest avoiding somewhere and going to the Jinshanling Great Wall, which is more spectacular and less crowded. I suggest taking a cable car to the middle peak to save energy.
Hey brothers, I like your videos very much, and I think your comments are objective, the cultural differences between the two countries will definitely bring different perceptions and evaluations. However, I think that what you have experienced seems to be the lowest level of consumption in China, such as some middle-class restaurants, bars, nightclubs and massage these suggestions you can also try. Feel the cultural difference, ha ha ha.
If you guys have time, I highly recomend you to visit Tianjin and Qingdao. Tianjin is a harbor city very close to Beijing, with beautiful architectures that mixed of western and eastern styles. And Qingdao is a famous coast city in shandong province, which is famous of its Germany styled buildings, seafood and Qingdao beer.
Ali pay The company's name came from the character Ali Baba from the Middle Eastern folk-tale collection One Thousand and One Nights because of its universal appeal. As Jack Ma, one of the founders, replied to Lorraine Hahn on TalkAsia: One day I was in San Francisco in a coffee shop, and I was thinking Alibaba is a good name.
The one you guys ate is Peking duck and the one you said serve with rice is Cantonese style roasted duck or roasted goose. It is usually eaten with plum sauce and with rice. Both are different.
Alibaba is a well-known intelligent, brave, and kind person from . It is a famous storybook for kids in China😊. If I remember correctly, she I was a kid was also in the Elemental school textbook. Back then, I liked fairy tale books and fables very much❤, and I had , , and so on. Those are available in China and have been translated into Chinese for many years😅.
Ali-pay, that is because the parent company is Alibaba, "open sesame" and the wealth is there, everyone knows the story, China has strong connection to the middle east since the ancient time because of the silk road, if you go to the western part of China and you will see the connections, if you manage to get to Xinjiang, where the Uighur, Tajiks, Hui people lives, you will feel like you are in the middle east.
The name "Ali" originates from the Arabian tale "One Thousand and One Nights" featuring the character Alibaba and the Forty Thieves. It symbolizes wealth.
Greetings from Beijing. If you guys want to do food challenge in Beijing, you should definitely try 豆汁(bean juice). Even many local people can't get used to the taste so that's a very good food for food challenge.
