You should be careful about the word 'conflict' you use. That's not a conflict between China and Japan. That's a purify crime Japan invaded China.

[@michelleyang2310]

Japan invaded China, killed 300000 people in Nanjing. I come from Nanjing, my grandparents and other relatives suffered badly from this war, it is a horrible war crime! You need to visit Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall in Nanjing City that memorizes the over 300, 000 victims slaughtered by Japanese Forces of Aggression during World War II.

[@naiqnehc1589]

it has the meaning of war.

[@antwango]

@@michelleyang2310 was Nanjing the previous capital of China excuse my ignorance, i recall from somewhere..... im also Chinese but wasnt born in China..... also from movies and dramas etc there is huge historical significance.... it was Chinas / Asia's equivalent of Aushcwitz? theres a few movies on the Nanjing Massacre....... actually come to think of it was Xi'an the previous capital of CHina?

[@haomingwang6908]

不过，JOE，我想纠正一下这个展馆叫做 南京大屠杀遇难同胞纪念馆，而不是南京南京大屠杀纪念馆。纪念的是遇难同胞。JOE, I would like to correct the fact that this pavilion is called the Nanjing Memorial Hall for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre, not the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall in Nanjing. The memorial is for the compatriots who were killed.

[@samuelfan9074]

The big wall you saw was called Zhonghuamen or Zhonghua gate, which is part of the city wall in the past and was nearly destroyed by Japanese during their invasion in WWII

[@papayeung24]

The Memorial Hall for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre actually has an information desk so that foreigners can make reservations to enter the museum on the spot.

[@zhengzaishuai7878]

the huge wall is 明城墙 means Ming Dynasty City Wall，The city wall you see is a part of the Nanjing city wall, which belongs to the Zhonghua Gate. Nanjing was originally the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the ancient city wall has been basically well preserved

[@羽生結弦-h1o]

In fact, most people in China prefer to eat wontons with a spoon instead of chopsticks

Joe, I am a bit surprise to see that you are doing very well as a foreigner travelling in China by yourself. And your communication with the locals no matter in Chinese or English is normally going quite smoothly!👍👍

[@davidw.2467]

If you're having difficulties with the menu, Google Translate has a camera function called "Google Lens" which could translate the words on the menu (or whatever you like to translate) in real time simply by pointing your phone camera to it.

[@fenchen531]

😉joe I gotta say, you don't have to use chopsticks to eat dumplings. Generally, for 馄饨/云吞/扁食, use a spoon.

[@danield2089]

you know what...10 yrs ago I left my camera on a cab in Cambridge in the UK. The hotel checked the security camera and got the cab number and then we contacted the cab company and then linked us to the cab driver. He also delivered it back to me. I almost forget about this experience.....Thanks to the cab drivers both in China and in the UK

[@karenhsu3610]

If you are into nature view I’d suggest the west. Guangxi, west Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and of course Xinjiang and Xizang.

Can’t believe you visited Nanjing! Why I didn’t meet you😢😢😢😢😢 I have been watching your channel for a very long time and definitely love your music taste!!

[@datenschulzchen6861]

That is a city wall, not a normal wall. Lao Men Dong is just next to a city wall called Zhonghua Men

[@dlwangnan]

You can also go to Suzhou to see there are more ancient buildings there! There is also a music festival in Wuzhen, but it’s a pity that it’s not now!

[@YINGZHANG-zh4zj]

welcome to China，hope have nice day everytime

[@krashilili]

The massive wall is the city wall built in Ming dynasty for defense. The place that you said looks like a theme park is called Lao Men Dong ( Old East Door).

[@firefly4784]

That first place is called Old Gate East, it is a restored area by the ancient city gate, Zhonghua Gate

[@firefly4784]

That big wall is part of the 600 year old ancient city wall built in Ming dynasty. The most beautiful section is around Xuanwu Lake in the north part of the city

[@HuoWu-ei3hl]

The wall in video is ancient rampant which is for defending the enemies and protecting citizens.

[@owenouyang166]

enjoy!

[@lijinping]

04:11 that wall was built around 1403 in Ming Dynasty.

[@andycai9614]

It's so nice to watch your solo experience in China. Such a unique v-log. China is a special place on the planet that the modernization works for such a dense population. That explains the logics of many differences, such as 3 toilets in one train, the foolproof security/traffic flow in the station as well as the compact design of all city architecture. Within a small neighborhood in Shanghai and Nanjing, population could reach half million or even a million. Efficiency is everything in that case. Thanks for sharing! I believe a local cell number will be a game-changer with Alipay next time!

Actually, you are not taking a high-speed train, it is a short commuter bus between cities. The standard for high-speed rail in China is 320km-350

[@xwdon]

按照铁路局的定义，250km/h以上的就是高速铁路。所以中国国内目前有两档，250km/h一档，350km/h一档，都是high speed railway

Hi, joe, welcome to Nanjing. In fact, many attractions have been commercialized, making it difficult to be in them and resonate with history. In fact, it is difficult for many domestic tourists to experience history in a noisy environment. I hope you can seek some suggestions next time you come, so that you can feel the emotion and spirit of this city in a limited time.

that massive wall is the Nanjing city wall (similar as the Great wall, but it surrounded Nanjing city), 600+ years history, every brick used to build the city wall has the producer's info on it, which helped the government to track their quality in the future. You should've seen it, very famous. AND, this massive wall is the real real real history, but you just missed it, so unfortunate.

Great video. Just for the record, google Nanjing city wall and get some history shock😮. It is a wall of more than 600 years history and Nanjing is the third biggest city in the east of China. Nanjing does have more historic and natural scenery to explore, but I do agree with the downsides of commercial streets. So try to do some research before going, good luck with your next ride.

[@martinxue3651]

nanjing fans welcome you

[@yingwang3220]

可惜了啊，joe，去南京没有迟到正宗的南京烤鸭，虽然南京的盐水鸭更出名，但是烤鸭味道更赞，主要是汤汁，在老门东出来的商业银行斜对面的小巷子里，有家小陈鸭子店，口味非常好，也不贵，当然，去了南京，没吃到牛肉锅贴、尹氏汤包、梅花糕也真是可惜，要不去大牌档或者小厨娘品尝下正宗的淮扬菜也好啊。旅游方面可以去牛首山或者中山陵玩玩，当然，南京主要玩的是历史，对老外来说可能有点难度。

[@nihaohola]

其实北京烤鸭就是明成祖时从南京带去北京的。

[@glue63]

Wooooo, you choose Nanjing. In fact, few foreigners will choose this city although it's so famous in China and so many Chinese travel to Nanjing. Why? Because this city is the elder capital of China and it is famous for its long history. There are many places with historic stories, but if you don't know these stories, of course you will disappoint. And I notice you choose Fuzimiao to visit. I will give you the advice for this place that you should go there at night and try to get on a boat and go throught Qinghuai River to feel it. Also you go to Laomendong and at the end you find a wall. That's the old city wall and now in China few cities have the city wall even in Beijing they are also destroyed! The better way is to get on the city wall and you can see the moat and Great Baoen Temple. Next time you visit Nanjing, please hire a guide, you will get totally different experience. This city is so so nice to walk. And so many places you can enjoy. Trust me.
