Exploring 1000 Years of History in Guangzhou China 🇨🇳

[@kennethlai5186]

Welcome to GuangZhou!!! Welcome to CHINA!!! Have a nice trip.

[@bymichlea]

I love how you wander through alleyways and explore random spots 😁 pretty cool to see

[@leisurecide9478]

you mentioned that there was a lot of security around setting up a phone, I'm sure you see by now that almost all payments are linked to your phone in China, so there is a lot of security around that to protect your information.

[@willin4222]

You are very kind and really like your videos. hope you have a great trip in China！

[@308_Negra_Arroyo_Lane]

23:26 That sign on the table is telling you not to waste food. LoL.

[@ramblingbard]

Won’t make the mistake again! 😥

[@youyadensi]

Yea, just ask for a container and take it home / where you live.

[@Naturefilms9738]

Guangzhou is my birth city. I was born near the BaiYun International Airport. I am planning to go back this year. I am now in Vancouver, Canada(44 years living here). Enjoy your trip there!

[@berrygoose9420]

This video is like a long dream that happened in a short afternoon nap, and I mean it in a good way. All those random things around the corner of streets and quietly walking among flowers and statues in a temple is just so like directly cut off from dreams, especially taking the lift bit.

[@ramblingbard]

Such a nice way to describe it! Thank you very much 🤗

[@suncarus897]

You are the real survival master in city, find a restaurant by tracing a chef.

[@gwto7448]

The oranges they offered to you are meant to aid your digestion from its acidity (or so the Chinese believe) as you mentioned to them that you are extremely full. Take it positively as a goodwill and not so much as they are trying to get rid of their excess oranges. 😊

[@yeez1213]

I'm an international student from China now living in Norrkoping. Enjoy your trip!

[@ramblingbard]

Oh awesome!! I hope you’re enjoying it! If you’re ever in Stockholm let me know 🇸🇪 🇨🇳

[@audegottoeaudegottoe363]

Have @wonderful New Year's !//thanks

[@vivawoteva]

A local friend or a Chinese background from western countries with you can make this Journey a lot more fun.

[@jogana6909]

Very good city

[@kennysun4451]

That street with a mount of tiny stores is called 'Tao St'. It started building up those small stores to provide a lot of small afforable, cheaper home appliances from 30 years ago. I am quite similar with that area. A lot of old people hang around there

[@ramblingbard]

That’s such cool information, thanks for sharing! 🙏

[@kennysun4451]

that little snack like the medicine usually makes with different kinds of dry fruit, like orange, mandarin peel, squash and etc, but it is not only a snack but also a herb, usually good for throat.

[@ramblingbard]

Thank you!! It wasn’t bad but yeah definitely something I wouldn’t eat a lot of watching a movie 🍿

[@Sfran_]

11:01 It’s a tobacco pipe 15:16 It’s 化州橘红, the skin of a special kind of orange/citrus grown in Huazhou city in Guangdong province, which is a traditional Chinese medicine ingredient to treat coughing with phlegm.

[@breseph]

Thank you for shining the light on what china is really like. Alot of western countries tend to have trust issues with china and as a result tell people not to go there for safety reasons. But it is very safe!

Hi! First time watching your video and welcome to China! Just a question can I cut a part of your video and upload to Chinese video websites? Have a nice trip😀

[@ramblingbard]

Sure thing! Thanks for watching

[@leyorixd]

Make sure to credit ramblingbard! :D

[@ziborInOKC]

I love your work! This demos the very real normal life behind the colorful images. The way I loved to travel back in China. Sadly in US, I cannot do that much before I know it is okay and when it is okay to go. And per the media tells me, it is getting worse, and I do not even know should I trust the media😂.

[@garylee9668]

go there, ignore the media

[@oliverstone9681]

You go to a different country,don’t expect it to be like your home country,that’s the reason why people travel.

[@SS-ko2lt]

The signs next to your table at the restaurant said, do not waste food. Empty your dishes.

[@foodparadise5792]

The coughing up phlegm problem are mostly from older people that smoke their entire life(thanks for the British brought opium and cigarettes to China)... With the younger population refuse to smoke, this problem will be gone in ten years...

[@aaajdhd12]

中国早期就有香烟了，其实主要是人民教育问题，大多数年轻人也不随地吐痰了，再过几十年肯定会改善的

[@byakuya3603]

Try to put aside your prejudices and see the real China with your eyes. I pay tribute to you. China is a huge developing country, not a paradise or a hell. It is not 1984 described by western media. China has many problems, but until today, he is slowly getting better.

[@ITeachChinese]

This is a Buddhist community where people who donate can eat and stay here and experience the pure world of Buddhism up close.

[@flyingnan2520]

It's not a community. It's just a normal temple. People living nearby generally don't believe in Buddhism.

[@Kiki_babyzzZ]

你还不如尝试一下街边小吃

[@Sfran_]

16:54 People are praying for good things (like wish for health, peace, good opportunities, fortune, love, etc.) to happen. It’s not like Christianity that people go to repent in church.

[@yuanshuan7099]

I would say that china is one of the cleanest developing countries in the world.

[@黄大咸]

16:56 That's the God of Wealth

张家界绝对值得一去，那里是阿凡达的取景地

[@44h35]

At least two people need to finish the three dishes of Chinese cuisine，and you didn't order rice

[@ramblingbard]

I think if I ordered rice my stomach would have just ruptured …. Definitely learned my lesson on the portion sizes. They’re very generous!

[@yilunbai]

The dishes you ordered needs to go with rice.

[@ramblingbard]

Lesson learned 😂

[@SCIFIGAMESFANS]

Disney’s new animated films, Come With My Youth（Turning Red） and The Elemental, both have a lot of Sichuan elements The MEI MEI that accompanies my youth（Turning Red）, MEI MEI is the red panda of Sichuan Elemental The fire element girl inside is Sichuan pepper culture Sichuan culture is very Thick and so is its food. This is why it has fascinated Hollywood and Disney many times

[@isaacisaac2380]

Just found out March 28th is the Tibet slavery emancipation date. The offsprings of Dali Lama and his ruling party’s slaves celebrate this date in Tibet, or Xizang. Why not make a video covering it?

[@joeymelbourne]

why you ordered so much, looks like you haven't eaten for days lol

[@ramblingbard]

The pictures looked like far smaller portions, I live in Sweden and usually portions are a lot smaller!

[@龚术]

​@ra哈哈哈哈你要是去中国北方你会发现每个菜都比你现在点的大2倍！但是价钱却少一半mblingbard

[@richaomai5436]

出现ikun

[@dxishi]

I wonder that do you see a homeless to give him the ¥20 that you won?

[@ramblingbard]

I’m not sure if it was the same person, but there was an old lady in a bundle of blankets in an alley near where I was staying who I gifted a few hundred to. She was asleep so I left it in a cup beside them. I haven’t seen many homeless in China, can pretty much count on one hand so I’ve tried to help a little when I meet them.

[@patriciawong1451]

😅​@@ramblingbard

[@龚术]

哇，几百块？！你真的很慷慨！在中国乞讨者很少因为每个城市都有救助站可以提供住宿和食物，除非你不愿意去那里，不过在中国一般给乞讨者最多也就几块钱，谢谢你的慷慨不过如果你看到是四肢健全的年轻人请不要施舍

[@LucyMarry-d5z]

Travel is ok living there is terrible

[@a.j.ltargaryen5995]

Wow, India is so amazing. Especially the temple! China could never have those. they destroyed all of them, no religion freedom.

[@kristyhu1099]

This is a video abt China

[@mikefellbach6841]

China becoming a "cashless" society is terrible for older people who do not know how to use a payment app and people who want to maintain some level of privacy in life. I avoid all apps that hand over my personal information. But the lure of "convenience" is attracting many people.

[@baaronlong5988]

My father is 72, he can pay with wechat/alipay. And privacy? Which privacy you lost by paying by phone?

[@flyingnan2520]

Your worry was common in China from 2010 to 2015. There used to be debate about the inconvenience of old guys paying by phones. However in 2024 Chinese guys generally don't consider this as a problem. Firstly it is illegal to not accept cash. In a cashless society, cash is still able to be used in every payment. Secondly, the old guys learn to use payment app very quickly, much more quickly than you expect. In the beginning you can always get amazing discount by using payment app to pay. The discount is much more attractive for old guys than young guys. Thirdly, the Chinese culture makes the young guys often live with or closed to their parents. The old guys can easily find their children to deal with the problems of smart devices.

[@XingcunLi]

I don't think anyone cares about your payment info, what's possible is that it matches and recommends the level of items you can afford based on your overhead.

[@Genshineredit]

u mean old people like u？Chinese old people doesn't have these problem，and u have problem with that，because old people there learned to use it and now become very easy for them but for u，maybe too difficult to learn

[@Tiauhui]

Chinese people love to learn，Including elderly people。。。。your privacy ? who care

Our Guangzhou has 2000 years history

[@Sfran_]

He said that the pedestrian street in Guangzhou was about 1000 years old, not about Guangzhou itself
