How Is Chinese Rural Areas in 2023? | This Toilet is too shocking!! | Cycling World Tour

After arriving in Dalian, my bicycle trip in northeastern China began. I rode a bike in China for six months in 2016 in the northwest, central and southern regions, but this is my first time in the northeast. I was excited to see how China had changed after returning after 7 years. Smoking indoors was still allowed. The prices seemed to be the cheapest in the world. Accommodation costs were also cheaper in small and medium-sized cities. The people actually felt friendlier. However, the bathroom at the rest area was very shocking. The pavement was really good with wide shoulder, so biking was fun!

Hello Jin. When you cycle from place to place, do you use a map or GPS to move around? Is that how you know which road to cycle on? Pls let me know, thanks. 😊 🙏

[@universewithme]

When I cycle, I use Google Map and Maps.me app :) I used Baidu when I was in China. I don't use GPS route searching function all day cause it takes too much batteries. I just check the map time to time when necessary.

[@silviamanca]

Thanks for posting the video! So nice to see you back! 🤩

Great to see you again Jin! Always smiling! Stay safe. Big thanks & love from Barcelona.

[@ryanl3106]

Hi Jin, I came from the stove review video and would like to give you more info about the fuel situation in China. Petrol fuel is not easy to get from gas stations in some cities (especially in Tebet and Xinjiang, Qinghai province, and probably can not buy them in Beijing) because authorities were afraid extremists were using combustible fuel for terrorist attacks in crowded areas, ie, railway stations or city squares. Plus, now it is autumn, and the wildfire risk is high. If you could understand Chinese(or use a translator), you might have received messages warning people to take caution on using fire. So there are three solutions if the gas station doesn't want to sell fuel to you for cooking. The first one is to use canister fuel. If you bring a gas camping stove, try to find a camping canister (高山气罐), or cartridge canister (卡式炉气罐), and use your gas stove to cook. The second one, the cartridge canister, is easier to get, and most grocery stores sell them. Still, you need a converter to convert the cartridge canister valve to a Lindal valve. If you only bring the MSR Whisperlite International, and if the gas station won't sell gas to you, you could go to the local police station and ask for a permit, called "bulk petroleum permit" or (散装汽油许可证). The permit needs you to fill out your purpose, which is for cooking, and your ID. Some also need to fill out how many Liters of fuel you want to buy in bulk. And you can bring this permit to a local gas station for the fuel. The other solution is to find a hardware or chemical store, or online shopping (Taobao), to search for white gas, (白电油, or 120号白电油). If your last home of stay is kind enough, you might ask them to buy it on Taobao for you and ship it to the post station at your next destination, so you can pick it up there. The white gas （白电油 ，“bai dian you” in Chinese pinyin）is the main type of fuel people use in China for the Coleman liquid fuel lantern and the fuel stoves like your MSR. Alternatively, you could ask for kerosine (煤油). Some hardware or chemical stores also sell them, and your MSR can burn them. Anyways, safe trip!🤠 Note: as @xuexiaoqiang said, you need the local map call 高德地图 or 百度地图 (gao de map, or Baidu map) to navigate in China. This can be easily found in the app store whether you use iPhone or Android. The other foreign map company (Google Maps) won't work in China. So beware of that.

That hotel in your last section of video, the decorations with Mandarin words on the wall actually says "we are married!" hahaa. Indeed a weird decoration to be put in a hotel room! XD

[@lynchlee7207]

As a Chinese, I like your video, showcasing the living scenes and geographical features of inland China. I hope the world can be more harmonious, with less prejudice and arrogance. Additionally, you are very polite and have not expressed any biased views on China's political and ethnic issues! Wishing you a pleasant journey!🎉

[@lawsonporter6810]

You need to watch it better...ethnics views? It's quite clear China does not like foreigners, which doesn't surprise me. Maybe once China opens up for international tourists and welcomes them the country will get better!? It's not a place l will go back to until dictator government is changed and be made unwelcome!

[@philipdavis7521]

I travelled in China in the mid 1990’s, the toilets were even worse! But it’s good to see things now, I’ve been wondering about bike touring there - its 15 years since I did a tour in Tibet, but it’s so much harder now with visas, etc. Anyway, this is so interesting to see, great video as always. I like how you show the reality of touring, not just the scenic good bits.

[@jkl1202]

Hello Jin from Melbourne Australia! I’ve literally had nightmares, dreams of horrific public toilets! I don’t know why. Thankfully I haven’t had one for quite a while! Hopefully never again! 😂

[@josephfredbill]

Thank you for this fascinating video. I was in China twice - in 2006 and 2011 and each time things were very different. The first time I travelled around from Shanghai to Wuhan to Beijing and back to Shanghai on the old slow overnight trains (the toilets on those were really horrible because the stuff slopped around and came out of the hole as the train moved and the used paper flowed out of the full baskets all over the floor - you could smell them a long way away (the smell is still in my nose now :-)). I also saw a big change in hotel prices - first time I paid around 10$, second time in Shanghai alone I paid 160$ (but maybe that was just Shanghai). Also, the first time there were very many bicycles everywhere but the second time there were many cars and many small motorbikes and scooters (with engines). I also hired bicycles in China and left mine at home as I was worried it would get lost in Chinese luggage systems as I flew there. I am watching your videos with much interest. I have also been to Korea (south) a few times (which seemed very american-influenced to me) and taken bicycles there. Enjoy your travels. :-).

[@josephfredbill]

I should have said - I am from uk.

[@hearhere2165]

@13:22 - the area there is surrounded by farm houses and hamlets ( 39.67654028664065, 123.16804187249737 ) . Therefore, the pit toilets . They can make the pit toilets a lot nicer/cleaner though .

[@喵队长]

I guess it's because of the lack of people to maintain and clean it

Hi Jin, I'm a Chinese currently doing undergraduate study in Wei Hai, Shandong province, it's also the closest Chinese city to South Korea so many Korean people live here. Hope you could have a wonderful trip in the northeast of China, and also please be aware that this part of China can be a bit more dangerous sometimes compared with other regions in China so please be safe! If you would like to pay a visit to Weihai city, I would be much willing to welcome you here :)

[@喵队长]

Why, I don't think its dangerous at all.

[@yoohoo909]

Hey Jin, lol on that totally gross toilet! Ik you say sometimes you say you wish you were a male about that, but as a female you get allowed into many more places (hostels always have spare female only rooms) but yeah, I know it's a two edged sword that has risk involved. Best wishes and more power to ya!

Hi, super interesting video. Just at the beginning of the video you ride the bike on the right side of multilane road on a bridge? Is the lane on the right side often that empty of cars, i assume cars can drive it? Do cars drive nicely around bikers?

[@seanfreer7668]

Very interesting well done on travelling through China and being so brave and for documenting so well. However, will remind you, not so long ago, some toilets in Korea were also very 'challenging'. Maybe you are too young to remember. Especially in shigol area.

[@michaelclement1337]

The luxury hotel you stayed in is largely what I encountered in China. I do have the advantage of a Chinese wife who was able to book the places for me at local prices so I didn’t get charged as an European

Seriously, someone needs to write a book about all the different toilet experiences from around the world. Vietnam has been the low end. France is second only bc public toilets are nearly impossible to find and if you do find one the proprietor is hesitant to let you use it.

Its surprising to see there are no dedicated bicycle lanes in china i hope they build proper dedicated bicycle lanes which will be separated from main road and only have access to bicycles across country so it will be easy for people who use cycle and also will be safe and helpfull

[@universewithme]

China is nearly the best place to cross the country by bicycle in my world cycling trip. Most of times there are wide shoulders and if there is no shoulder, there is no traffic so it's pretty safe. Most of the city has so big wide shoulder. Only the problem is local people driving so crazily and dangerously as like they have 10 lives.

[@TheKing-bb2wu]

@@universewithme thats what i said if they make dedicated bicycle lanes separated from main road which is used by cars,if they make a separate bicycle lane by separating with main road using a curb it will be more safe for cyclists

There are many separate lanes but so many scooters and electric bike driving crazy over there and at every junction cars going crazy.
