To be honest, China is not really on my radar when it comes to the list of places I'd like to visit. However, I had the pleasure to shoot a marketing campaign with Jetstar Asia, to promote Wuxi, China as an up and coming destination. This is sort of a behind-the-scenes and my personal experience through this relatively unheard city in China.

As singaporeans who are around your age, we totally get your sentiment before and after visiting China. We spent 2.5 months cycling through china, and honestly, it's the most impressive country we've been to. 10/10 videography. we love supporting local!!

[@shawneydepp]

Wow you guys are the true adventurers. Nothing beats experiencing a country by bike!

[@darrenchoy]

dude this is super cool, definitely wanna go there someday! amazing video as always ❤

[@shawneydepp]

Thanks bruh! China is an eye opener 😶

[@Lostlightz]

What a perfectly timed video to inspire my China video edit! Great story telling and flow as always! Hope you're out of the lost stage!

[@shawneydepp]

Thanks man, glad to hear that! Still figuring as I go haha

[@wicakonso]

I totally feel you! I am literally on a plane leaving China now but the last 2 weeks I spent in China was AMAZING 💯 should never really judge before actually experiencing it!

[@shawneydepp]

Wow. Must have been an adventure with 2 weeks in China

[@TheEndlessWonder]

Stunning video, with perfect mix of footages! This gives another idea of places to visit in China. 👍 Amazing!

[@shawneydepp]

Thank you! Yeah Wuxi is really quite unheard of

[@AlexTeo]

just nice I'm going china this year, doing the 2D1N tiger leaping gorge hike that looks really amazing. You should definitely cover china more and check out places like zhangjiajie!

[@shineluvslambiel]

Ah you are in for an incredible treat. Did it last May and still dream about it.

[@shawneydepp]

Sweet! Just checked out the hike and wow it looks awesome. Yeah zhangjiajie is on my list now 👍🏻

[@nivzfrabx3718]

Amazing video as always, china it's awesome!

[@shawneydepp]

Appreciate it! China is a whole other world

[@BayleQuek]

I feel like the crowds in China are something you can’t run away from, especially if it’s somewhere popular.

[@shawneydepp]

True that. Sometimes it’s a great atmosphere, other times it feels overwhelming

[@leesvisuals]

Loved every minute of this! And the broll shots are beautifully composed

[@shawneydepp]

Thanks man, appreciate it 🙌🏻

[@AdrianWan1]

omg i was wondering what content you were shooting at changi that day but wow that's some fast editing!

[@shawneydepp]

Was just left with the sponsored sequence as the final piece! Nice meeting you that day 🤙🏻

[@dariusching]

Looks like Jetstar has found the right person to showcase China. I have been wanting to travel to China but was unsure of the conditions there. Thanks for the great video. Looking forward to more content from China!

[@shawneydepp]

Glad to show a small bit of what it’s like there :)

[@InsaneWeihang]

Congratz on 40k man!

[@shawneydepp]

Thank you InsaneWeihang! 👊🏻

[@fionaz4404]

Visit China during the right time. You want to avoid the China summer school holidays and public holidays!

[@shawneydepp]

Can’t imagine what the crowds would be like during the holidays

[@ownyourcourt]

I guess I have to go China now.

[@rudrabows]

Nice trip. Bring Marcus in your next trip, he will give additional perspective n humour

[@shawneydepp]

Yeah he’s awesome haha

[@dsmichael8080]

Wow first comment. Great video!

[@shawneydepp]

Cheers man 🍻

[@shineluvslambiel]

I think it’s a beautiful thing when overseas Chinese come to explore China and discover their heritage ❤ what a wonderful experience!

[@yorichiilol]

he's Singaporean?

[@shawneydepp]

Never forget our roots 🙏🏻

[@shawneydepp]

Yes I’m from sg

[@shineluvslambiel]

@@yorichiilol FYI there’s a thing called Chinese-Singaporean, just like Chinese-American, Chinese-Canadian.

[@rexxu2297]

that is my city🤩

[@francesremo]

i like that part when you were speaking chinese!!!

[@richardbarba2736]

I love Wuxi! I just recently heard about through a vlogger named shawneydepp 😅

[@shawneydepp]

😂👍🏻

[@marcusozias]

That drone shot at the end was so scary T.T

[@shawneydepp]

Can’t imagine if things happened the other way 💀

[@panatdas.8250]

This place is movie shoot Mission impossible ?

[@shawneydepp]

That one is a different water town

[@marcang4403]

The whole place feels very “touristy”.. sketchy cable car, fake Venice.. strange Tao Huey… Luv ur content… just not so much the place

[@shawneydepp]

Well that’s China for you 🤷🏻‍♂️ hahah

[@murphyjack3453]

It's great to have you in China! I really hope you get the chance to come back soon. I'd love to show you around and give you a new perspective on things. plz contact me ❤😃

[@shawneydepp]

This definitely won’t be the last!
