your probably not going to read this 4 years on but Shenzhen has changed A LOT since and it is truly one of the most modern and cleanest cities I have ever been to.

@chelsea9094 7 лет назад

I was born in Shenzhen and so glad to see you share this video about Shenzhen to let people know about this city.

That was more informative than a lot of other videos I watched.I've been wanting to go to Shenzhen for some time and after watching this I want to go there soo much more. So... Thank you. I certainly hope you post a lot more informative videos about the different districts within Shenzhen, what you find there and hopefully surrounding cities as well. Xixixixixixi

@colinm.4052 5 лет назад

@JonnyUnderrated 7 лет назад

Its still dirty as all hell in some places and you cant deny that. Also most western ladies dont like pooping or peeing in holes. As a guy its all good, I take it as a challenge. But its not all hunky dory. If youre blonde people will stare and think youre a freak and the daily smells range from sewer to raw sewage to tasty food place to urine filled side streets.

just wondering what vpn you guys use in China? it is hard for me to find a stable vpn to visit Facebook and RU-vid back in China.

@thesincitymama 7 лет назад

You need the Baidu Translate app! That's how I translated my air conditioning remote, my washing machine, screenshots of websites, menus, labels on products... Anything! Just take a photo and it translates for you. You can also have a Chinese person talk to it and it translates conversations. It's awesome, it's how I survive here! And yes, WeChat is indeed f-ing awesome...

@hkjpotato 7 лет назад

Or you can use Youdao translation app which u can just use camera to scan the text

@thesincitymama 7 лет назад

@taoli3516 7 лет назад

Nice videos!!! I was born in Shenzhen and lived there for over 20 years. Now I'm living in San Diego. Your videos really make me homesick. I'm not sure if you are still in Shenzhen. If so, I suggest you to visit OCT, it's like balboa park in SD. More importantly, just try some barbecue restaurants and bars at Shekou, Coastal City, or around Shenzhen University at the midnight. Barbecue seafoods and beers are the parts that I miss the most. If you are a fan of pop music, which I do, there will be a lot of free band shows (guitar, drum kit mostly) on the square in front of Shenzhen concert hall & library every Weekend's night. Natural scenes at Wutongshan and Shenzhen Bay are wonderful. It would be great to rent a bike and ride along Shenzhen Bay at nightfall. It feels like La Jolla Cove. No need to visit beaches in Shenzhen though, they are crowd and beaches in San Diego are way better .

@joycesfoodhunt 6 лет назад

I am so glad that you are doing this video! I am from Shenzhen and also live in NanShan. People have misconceptions towards China, and your video does a great job explaining how Shenzhen really is. Hope to run into you some day!

@junkaizeng5870 7 лет назад

Love your video! I was born and raised in China but have stayed in the US for 3 years. I feel sorry for those who are ignorant about the rest of the world than their home country, especially when it comes to American people holding biased opinions about China based on some biased bullshitting medias. China is country with good parts and bad parts, modernized places and underdeveloped places and places that you might think ghetto, but it's a generally awesome country worth visiting. Please keep uploading these awesome videos.

@user-tc3tr3ne7e 7 лет назад

@aether44j 7 лет назад

thanks for the video poppy! loved the energy! fellow shenzhener here, grew up there and moved to canada for schooling and stayed, but go back to visit from time to time. hope you can keep up the positive energy while living in china, as it can get rough from time to time due to cultural and social standard differences with the West. bro tip, write down english phrases on cue cards and translate into chinese using internet, then use cue cards to communicate.

@WheresPoppy 7 лет назад

haha okay I will give it a try! Although, the charades communication game is still pretty funny to me!

@drelizabethlambaer 4 года назад

Thanks for this video, it was so cool to see! I lived in Shenzhen in 1997. I was performing with a dance company at "Window of the World" and it was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! No one spoke english at that time and we were assigned interpreters and guides who took us around the city. Are you still in Shenzhen now? If so, how was the whole covid experience?

Haha Hello bro, I want to know what is the average wage for a junior engineer in Shenzhen ? Please do reply. 😊😊😊

@EdwardDawnCG 5 лет назад

@@someshvemula9966 it could range vastly from USD20,000 - 500,000 in terms of annual income, including sallery, bonus, dividends etc. It actually depends on your skills, position and what company you work for. This is why the house price shoots skyhigh in Nanshan district of Shenzhen where most of the IT engineers are based.

@xinhaoshao4244 7 лет назад

I would recommend you going to the deeper and more western China, places like Xian, Lanzhou or Xining that are less developed and more conservative compared to Shenzhen but also would be mind-blowingly enjoyable.

@acoldgoodnight2079 7 лет назад

So cool! I'm planning on going out there hopefully next year. Watching these is such an inspiration. I hope my videos can eventually be this incredible!

@nmbileg 7 лет назад

I am originally from Shenzhen, China and went to Singapore cuz of my parents in 2015. Your video really brings me back to the beauty of my hometown. Your choice of district is decent, I lived in Nanshan and I would say Nanshan and Shekou are the best districts.

@carlchen7354 7 лет назад

You went to the city where I used to live. The way of paying thing is so amazing right? I am studying in Australia, and when I went back there, there are so many new thing and amazing thing to learn and try. Try the Share Bike which the app named Mobike, this one is answer creation.

Those wires above are telecommunications cables. not that much voltage travels through them. Still don't touch them. My place got flooded too by washing machine. Sucks sooo bad. Make sure you dehumidify your place after a flood to avoid mold which is very prone to appear in humid places.

At 3:38, I think it is electrical wires, maybe like cable too. We saw that a lot in Beijing, Zhengzhou, and Guangzhou, electrical wires running everywhere on the outside of buildings. Still enjoying your videos. It was great when we visited China in 2014 and in February this year for two and a half weeks each time.
