Except for traffic cameras at traffic lights, most other cameras are used to maintain public safety. They have two main functions: first, to warn people not to try to break the law, and second, to quickly check the surveillance and catch criminals when illegal activities occur. If there is no criminal activity, the surveillance camera will not be monitored.

90% of the police you see are security personnel, who are only responsible for maintaining order and providing assistance. 90% of the remaining 10% are traffic police, who are only in charge of traffic safety. In fact, you hardly see the police officers responsible for crimes. In addition, China is one of the countries with the highest acceptance of video recording in the world, after all, we invented TikTok. So don't worry about filming, but please avoid filming in police stations, government buildings, and embassies.

In fact, the security inspectors in the subway are not police officers, they are just ordinary security guards, of a corporate nature.

[@YongLi-np3wg]

Down at rhe metro is security guard not police. Most uniforms you met on the street are security guards. It's a common mistake first tome foreigners make. In China the concept of police is different from the west. Most of them are unarmed and can be helpful when needed. You will not be monitored. Maybe people will be curious about you but police will just ignore you because foreign tourists are not likely to cause trouble.

[@kayapi5321]

When you are in the central area of Futian, Shenzhen, it is difficult to find street food because the rent here is too expensive, but as long as you enter any shopping mall, you will find many restaurants inside. The restaurants are usually located on the top floor of the mall, and the prices are affordable. Many restaurants charge a tea&seat fee, usually 2 RMB (0.28 USD), which refers to the cost of using utensils and tea.

[@oliverdadema]

Shenzhen is a very young city, only 45 years old. It was just a small fishing village next to Hong Kong when it was established 45 years ago. Now, it has become one of the four first-tier cities in China. There are no "locals" in Shenzhen because it is an immigrant city, attracting people from all over the country. This is why it is more inclusive and open than other cities, drawing in many young people to live there.

It is a tradition to charge for guest seat labeled as "seat for tea". Basicly a symbolic fee for utensils.

Depends on the type of restaurants, it is standard they bring you tea for having meals even if you don't want it, it is part of the culture. They bring it to you as soon you sit down, but you can always ask for something else to drink for a fee of course. Tea often comes with a very small fee when they bring you a jug like that and often can be refill. Is interesting to see this because it comes natural to the Chinese we never thought about it. Also know that China has no tipping culture, you pay for what you ordered, no need for tips.

haha. the “Zhongshan park" Metro station is very close to my home and Futian CBD Metro station is very close to my office. actually there are lots of foods ( >100 restaurants) inside of CBD metro station, they are underground, you just walk on them.

[@oliverdadema]

Oh really?? You live on a great location!! 🙏🏼😍🇨🇳

[@FrankZhang-pj9nn]

@@oliverdadema yes, I just checked the map, the Maxin hotel is only 200 meters to my home. and there is an ancient town called "Nantou ancient town" which is 100 meters to your hotel, it's full of art, street food, restaurants. you just missed it.

Shenzhen has a population of 18 million and an area of ​​2000 square kilometers. This is a very big city. All major cities in China occupy a large area. Regarding cameras, cameras are used in China to prevent crime and collect evidence of crimes. As long as there is no criminal intent, there is no need to worry too much. As for the police, in fact 80% are not police officers, but more security guards. They may be employed by companies or governments. In some places with a large amount of people or traffic, such as some scenic spots or road intersections, it is easier to see security guards. The uniforms and equipment of the police will be more formal, and they will only be responsible for criminal cases. Security guards are not allowed to carry firearms, and police officers are generally not allowed to carry firearms, except for a very small number of police officers responsible for dangerous tasks (such as anti-narcotics police).

Crazyyy!! 😱 Thanks for that info and for watching 🇨🇳🙏🏼

​​20 million square kilometers ? The entire China have just over 9 million square kilometers... Russia is 17 million square kilometers.

Basically in a Chinese mall, the ground floor(-1) is the food court and the top two floors are proper restaurant.

I heard about it, I wanna see it!!! 🤩🇨🇳

[@eedou]

Why vloggers keep asking why Chinese people always looking at you in the street? Didn't you notice no other people talk to camera loudly in the street?

[@oliverdadema]

True!! But also cuz they haven’t seen many foreign visitors. The Visa regulations have changed and it’s easier (and MUCH CHEAPER) for foreign people to visit. Before, I had to pay 130USD for a simple Chinese visa to enter the country. This is very expensive, looking at other Asian countries that do not charge anything for a visa. So many tourists only went to the major tourist places. Now that the visa price has been lifted, tourists (like myself) are able to visit the smaller and less-known cities and explore the REAL China 🇨🇳🙏🏼🤩🤍

去中國，感覺像活在人間，nice

16:18 i went to that restaurant before and it's not such a good one compared to others. So every food in China is damn fk delicious.

15:28 this is called Choy sum in Cantonese, or cai xin in Mandarin 菜心. The delivery service is called Meituan 美團。We also have Meituan here in Los Angeles which has a huge Chinese population. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meituan en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choy_sum

You can watch the light show at civic center, if it happens in the weekend. We were there last year. The best light show in the world. The one in Hong Kong at Victoria harbor is nothing compared to the Shenzhen’s one.

Lohu is the center of Shenzhen. Futian is a residential area. Nanshan is also a residential area, but has a great mix of activities.

I reckon the vegetable you ate was not asparagus. It would be "choy sim". Here is a small challenge for you. How do you pick a Hongkong Chinese (who crossed the border like you did) among other Shenzhen locals?

[@oliverdadema]

How crazy!! Thanks for letting me know and watching my video 🙏🏼🤩🇨🇳

[@MarinaYuan-ye5qt]

You should go to shenzhen bay park, it's so beautiful to ride bike there by the coast to Shekou
