Why foreigners should visit Quanzhou, a rarely visited but totally underrated city! EP15, S2

[@neeravagrawal590]

Western media has projected China in a very one dimensional image. We forget that so much culture, food art and technology we see today comes from China. The people of China still carry that with them. Your videos convey this so well. You are doing a very important job. Thank you.

[@zulucruz664]

Are you nuts? As long as you make a positive content like this in China of course it would be allowed. That’s what “one-dimensional image” means.

[@johnyossarian9059]

People forget what happened in 1949 let me remind you The culture revolution this is when Mao destroyed the history of China in its entirety In the past 15 years China has started to repair the damage Most places you see are no older than 15 year’s hundreds of fake ancient villages have popped up and to be honest they are abysmal Food here in China, if you like the mix of garlic soy sauce and ginger then you are ok because everything has these ingredients including chickens feet heads and butts dogs cats and rats I’ve been here 22 years and I’ve yet to have eaten anything Chinese that I can honestly say was good So if you are thinking of coming here chose a city that that has authentic western restaurants and stay in top hotels like the Hilton otherwise you will starve And don’t forget it’s Chinese culture to rip off foreigners in shops bars and restaurants Good luck travelers

[@guang-wen]

But don’t forget it was Mao Zedong who spent 10 years trying to destroy and eradicate every bit of that culture and history.

Now waiting for cheaper tickets, flights to China are crazy expensive at the moment. Curious to see what more you'll uncover visiting all the other provinces of China.

Glad to see my hometown here and good work! 6:15 - 面线糊 is not made from rice, nothing but ultra-thin noodles. The soup base comprises meat (chicken/port bone idk) and seafood (shrimps, crabs, maybe fish too?) 9:09 - 中山路 Zhongshan Road is one of the first roads receiving modernised concrete pavement in the city, constructed back in the 1920s. The buildings adopt the southeastern Asian style, brought back by old Quanzhou ppl making their living overseas. The clocktower 钟楼 (the white tower 10:28) on the road is a must-visit. 16:18 - 摩尼教 Manichaeism also exists in Quanzhou, with 草庵 Cao'an being the last trace of Manichaeism existence in China. 19:42 - Had you been to the mosque it is probably worthy of paying a visit to 灵山伊斯兰教圣墓, an Islamic tomb constructed in the 1300s. 22:06 - 洛阳桥 Luoyang bridge completed in the 1000s is China's very first harbour bridge. Note the bow-shaped bases to protect the piers from the tide. As well, the river and the bridge were named after the ancient Chinese capital city of Luoyang, when its residents and the royal families fled to Quanzhou to escape wars.

Historically for most of history Quanzhou was just as important and prosperous a maritime trade city as Guangzhou was.

Hello, I am writing to express my gratitude for your wholesome and beautiful videos. For the past three years, entry restrictions combined with constant sound around and real deteriorating relations between China and my continent of origin and love Europe have led my love for China to fade slowly and steadily. China was envisioned by me as an ever more digitalized, commercialized, urbanized modern dystopia that has no place for an architecture, nature, slow paste, and people-loving human being like myself. The thought of having to live in Shanghai, Beijing, or worst Shenzen let me break out in cold sweat. Your videos have shone a light on earnest human beings going about their lives with a deep sense of living, community, and aesthetics. Places not bustling, not digitalized, not over-urbanized, preserved nature, and walkable and bikeable cities and townships also exist in China. This should be pretty obvious to anybody with a commonsensical mindset but to be honest, I was just too stuck. So thank you earnestly for helping me rediscover my love for China, energizing my language and general studies, and "repassionizing" my bread-earning activities.
