It is rare to see a relatively modern city with such a good green coverage, and I feel that the urban environment is very comfortable.

@bryandeng570 Год назад

Nanjing is a nice modern city with long history and most of Chinese know it well. I am from Shenzhen, one of the modernest China cities with a pretty good green coverage. Welcome to Shenzhen.

I am from Nanjing, but now living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands for the last 21 years. it is so good to see my hometown from your camera. I specially like today's episode of Zhong Shan Lu, every time I back came to Nanjing, I always met my friends here for Coffee and diners. Thank you!

Thanks for the comment. I'm happy that you like my videos of beautiful Nanjing. I am quite jealous that you live in Amsterdam to be honest. I have been there a few times and absolutely love it. I will be making a lot more videos about Nanjing, so stay tuned!

I'm a student from Germany who plans to take a language course at 南京大学 in the upcoming semester. I received a CSC scholarship, but as of right now, the university only plans to teach online courses. I'm hopeful that I might enter the country, though, since China seems to be taking steps to allow people into the country more easily again. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work. I hope I'll be able to walk down the same streets soon :-)

@xiaoandmatt Год назад

There was a German guy living in Nanjing during WWII who also gave shelter to the Chinese. Cant' remember his name. Maybe it's John Rabe but i don't know. He painted a large swastika on the roof of the shelter so that the Japanese wouldn't bomb it. Some people called him China's Schindler.

@Anonymous------ Год назад

Ironic that the American government officials stationed in Nanjing at the time refused to help the Chinese. The USA government knew the Japanese troops were massacring the Chinese people but didn't stop them, for decades it even denied there was any massacre done by Jaoanese troops in Nanjing!

I see some people asking for money on the streets, but the situation isn’t as bad in downtown Nanjing as it is in other cities I have traveled to in China - for example Guangzhou. In Nanjing it’s not as common to see groups of homeless downtown. Normally I will just see a few here or there. I normally will toss them 5-10 rmb or scan their QR code and give them some money. There was a homeless man who lived outside a bar I used to go to all the time. One time I actually gave him 50 rmb and I think his eyes were so bad he didn’t even realize how much I gave him.

@@freethinker585 I have never seen the slums of Nanjing. I have seen poorer areas of Nanjing, but the people are still living in apartments - the quality is just not as good. I’ll have to find a good area and go wander around and film. Nanjing is a relatively rich city, so even the people here at the lower end are not that bad off. When I lived in Tianjin I saw some sketchier neighborhoods where there were chickens running around outside and the roads were dirty, but I wouldn’t even call it a slum like you are thinking of.

@xiaoandmatt Год назад

Just now I was in the metro station in the center of the city waiting for my wife and I saw three homeless people come in and search the trash for food. There are homeless people in Nanjing, I just have no idea where they stay. Years ago I saw some sleeping in the metro station when I went through there late at night, but for the past 3-4 years I haven’t seen them there anymore. I will see if I can find out if there’s a place where many of them are and make a video there.
