Beijing is so beautiful. I hope I can viisit it someday. Thank you for sharing your interesting trip.

[@chrisyong8719]

Nice of u to take arm chair tourist like us on your city tours. Keep those videos going. We enjoy it thoroughly.

[@andy9962]

you guys are full of fun

[@LaLaLaLauran]

Awe, thank you so much

[@SaianaKrishnaMehrotra-fr4qt]

ur video makes me to move to china very fast from India .

[@user-nu9is8zb2o]

those are different flavor melons 😃and nice calligraphy of regular script ~ 👍

[@soniachen3118]

Saying "so cute..." is cute ! 😂

[@LaLaLaLauran]

Haha thanks!😂

[@user-oj6rw2vz2c]

Better stay inside for the weekend, millions of tourists incoming😉

[@4-SeasonNature]

Good stuff.

[@adanphu4325]

Fresh durian is insanely delicious!

[@3d4fun96]

Those three dishes are really home-cooked dishes in Chinese families.

[@lktruong]

In writing Chinese characters, the order of the strokes is very important as part of learning how to write. That was the reason why the shopkeeper was trying to tell you to draw the 3rd "flag" on the side that 清 before moving to the right side of the character.

[@sichaoxian]

I love your vlog, always so positive and happy 👻

[@LaLaLaLauran]

Thank you!

[@lewisj7559]

The car show room you saw is XPENG, a Chinese electric car company.

[@LaLaLaLauran]

So cool!

[@Thomas-Chin10]

Very interesting video. The whitish veggie next to the chives is Napa cabbage, which can also be found in North America. Your second try of the calligraphy character is immensely better-very fast learner! From what I saw, the Shanghai International Auto Show is currently going on.

[@weizhang2834]

Believe me, those cabbage are much better than Napa cabbage, I live In a place close to Napa , China cabbage is much more tender and flavorful

[@rabbitazteca23]

Such a fun vlog!

[@yy-rv1bh]

在中国旅游景点有一点真的非常好，不能说没有但是概率很小，根本不担心小偷什么的，几年前去巴黎真的处处小心翼翼，时时刻刻被朋友提醒小偷跟街头骗子，就怕被偷影响心情。

[@LaLaLaLauran]

Agreed

[@B.H90]

we got pickpocket at Lipson in the street by couple pretend to be tourist with their map open wide to cover the hands, also , Paris subway( a nice elder lady alert us )

Italy seems to be more serious.😂

[@somgears1589]

我不太喜欢北京，那里太干燥了，冬天绝对是折磨。而上海则太潮湿，梅雨季节让人十分痛苦。我觉得最适合居住的地方是南京，那里的气候非常好。

[@zhanwenchen9238]

You should try all the fruits in China! One of my best friends went to China and he journaled and rated all the fruits he tried! You should just ask the vendor “how to eat this fruit?” (这个水果怎么吃？zhe4ge shui3guo3 zen3me chi1?)

[@waltertian4167]

Hi Lauran, I'd love to see a vlog about your job in Beijing, what you do professionally. Thanks.

[@humgarchaun]

love this kind of videos ^^ love seeing different kinds of life styles ^^ thank you Laura

[@LaLaLaLauran]

Thanks! 😁

[@prob1ems]

no joking, the very last time i went to zellers (just before it closed), i saw a huge rat running between shelves. 😂 it's like I would never forget this store.

[@LaLaLaLauran]

Haha! Omg 😱

[@hanchen3932]

they are sweet melon。 very sweet❤

[@LaLaLaLauran]

Yum!

[@weizhang2834]

@@LaLaLaLauran you should try it , here in North America I haven’t seen it as far . It’s fruit not cucumber

[@hermesliteratus882]

The mysterious apple/pear/tiny green pumpkin fruit looks like rock melon (cantaloupe) to me.

Cool! So cute, I've never seen it before

[@LaLaLaLauran]

Thanks! I'll have to try one next time!

[@JichengPeng]

Lauran, those are different types of Melons..you should try some..

[@RajDeelish]

I actually really appreciate the no railing kind of stuff in China. It's a western thing because people in the West complain too much. Overall the railing ruins the experience, the photos, and the overall look.

[@VictorSpeed9]

1:50 这个是香瓜🍈😂 很甜的

[@lizz7805]

that fruit you picked up is called 香瓜 aromatic melon

[@ferdnandowang2688]

[@Fldllse]

that was a xpeng x2. they had it claimed to be commercially ready for at least 5 yrs by now , but due to regulations they r only usable in special cases like tourism I think

[@user-qb7pf8ju9w]

你写“清”的顺序错啦，零分！🤭

[@weizhang2834]

北京胡同的管理方式停留在上世纪，摩托车和人，汽车混在一起，摩托车不停的按喇叭，真的为当地粗糙的管理者感到担忧, 现在很多小城市例如杭州都比北京做的好

[@user_uif_ghg_wer_das]

在国内旅游最烦人的是噪音太大，公共场合老有大喇叭不厌其烦地一遍又一遍地重复各种注意事项，公园也不例外。

[@BSPBuilder]

杭州是小城市？

[@user-oz9gn8fj6m]

你懂der人家那个故意保留的特色

[@Aapig]

@@user-oz9gn8fj6m 电动车乱放也是特色？那可太地道了

[@user-zzzzwl]

二环以里的的胡同里住的是非常普通的老百姓，绝大部分都是住在大杂院里，只有自己的房间，都不是很大，没有自己的院子，胡同里就像他们的院子一样，厕所也全部是公共厕所，这已经是翻新和厕所升级后的样子了，地方就那么大，现在是大都市了国际化了，人流量大了，但老百姓还是老百姓啊，想让他们怎么改变啊，客观讲那是他们的家啊。。。

[@lewisj7559]

If you were to hold the brush correctly, you would have written the Chinese character better.
