I love all your videos Amy! But just a suggestion, could you please include the names of the places that you stay at and their prices and also a rough estimate of what it costs to be in a particular place through flight, train or whatever and sightseeing. It will just give us a brief idea about the budget that we need to allocate before we go to any of the places that you show in your videos. Because honestly, your videos are so good that it makes me want to go to each and every place that you show 🙈 And I would really appreciate if I could get an estimate of what it would cost and some recommendations for hotels/hostels to stay in. 🙈❤️

Great to see all the familiar places from when I worked there. The first time that bridge you were on overlooking Hongyadong was still being built. And the last time your hotel/hostel building was under construction! Things happen fast in Chongqing. But two days?

Very nice video, I found your channel recently and it's a good way to discover new things about China ! I just started chinese this year, although I admit that it was more a strategic choice for my futur career than a passion for this country, nevertheless I'm starting to change my view on this thanks to you. What makes me reluctant to go there (double degree in Tsinghua for example) is the political system and the pollution, how do you feel about this ?

[@BlondieinChina]

That's awesome! I'm glad you're enjoying my content! I have to tell you, in the beginning, learning chinese was also a strategic choice for me. I was going to study business and thought a chinese major would be a nice way to compliment it. It was only when I went to China for my first time that I absolutely fell in love with it, and the rest is history!!! It's an amazing place, you will surely come to love it. For me, I don't watch the news and am not really interested in politics. As long as it doesn't interfere with my daily life, I'm fine. And apart from having to use a VPN to see instagram and youtube, I don't feel any kind of influence from the political system. In terms of pollution, beijing is 1000000x better than it was 3 years ago. Many of the big factories nearby have been closed and most days are clear blue skies, not like the old days where most days you couldn't go outside. Of course, its still more polluted than australia and most western countries but I never think about it really, it just doesnt bother me as much as it used to. Any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!

[@Nubeloo]

@@BlondieinChina So nice of you to give such a detailed answer ! Interesting that the hard regime's policy is not actually really percieved. And it's true that China is making more effort against pollution than a lot of western countries. I'm majoring in computer science so some chinese universities could be interesting for me, I'll have to think about that. Keep up the good work :) !
