Shenyang - The Happiest City in China?

[@maxli4178]

OMG, this is the best video that I've seen from this channel. Couldn't stop laughing at this video! It's a perfect mood-lifter. That part with massage had me in stitches.

[@Nicofilms]

Pleased you enjoyed it. Definitely the funniest one we've made!

[@jackg5321]

The juxtaposition between jacks description and Nico of the massage 😂 'like one thousand crabs having a rave'

[@madisonmelvin8817]

This is by far the HARDEST I have ever laughed at your videos. Jack's review of the spa was cracking me up so hard. I would LOVE to do this but hearing it from Jack's perspective is how I would imagine my husband would be. Absolutely hilarious!

[@Alex_k_Q]

Haha I bet he was doing it wrong or he misunderstood the options... Trust me it’s like the best thing ever on earth (or in heaven). I have to take a 5-hrs flight all the way to Shenyang and another 5 hrs back EVERY YEAR just to do the bathing thing (and get really drunk with my college friends😂) . It worths a life time memory trust me. I have tried the Roman-style, Turkish-style, and even the Japanese-style bathing w/ some sexual activities involved and even that can NOT compare to the pure-all-aged bath in Dongbei😂😂

[@中国杨]

@@Alex_k_Qwith sexual activities😂??? I’m so confused right now 😂😂😂

[@achtungbaby2009]

nothing sexual..just flushing the plumbing by therapist to refresh the reserves storage to ensure it in good working order and no clogging that may develop into tumor. @@Alex_k_Q

[@Nicofilms]

I'm pleased you enjoyed it! I laughed to hard on the day and watching it back! It was such a fun video to make.

[@yaoguan5341]

@@中国杨 happy ending LOL. But not in this type of place

[@Pixmosphere]

I agree, I live here since 2016 😊 people also just be more happy because it's cheap, the industry jobs are good and the weather is mostly very sunny with blue skies. And I forgot about transportation, it's increasing very conveniently with the frequent extension of subway and infrastructure for highways. And you can just leave the city towards every direction for a countryside tour or mountain hike and skiing. Even the Winter time is cold we have central standard floor heating systems and your feet never get cold. Perfect city for me.

[@tianli2253]

welcome

[@Nicofilms]

Great I'm pleased to hear you enjoy it so much. We really liked it and would have loved to have spent a bit longer but we were pushed for time. Maybe next time we are back.

[@felmusik5043]

How long is the winter there ??? Now i'm in Moscow and i can said that winter here is like 9 months 🙄😂

[@Pixmosphere]

@@felmusik5043around half a year, starting in October it's getting cold and it can snow already until end of March when it starts to bloom and the temperatures stay positive. 9 month would be too much for me though 🥶

[@yangli1773]

I am so happy for you guys. Welcome to my hometown to experience the bathing culture and the local food. I literarily go bathing every two weeks, it is so refreshing and relaxing. Glad to hear Nico had a great time. Best wishes!

[@Nicofilms]

Thanks so much! We had such a fun day!

[@charliewang2906]

Thank you for the lovely video on happiness; it virtually increased my own happiness after watching it! Enjoy life in China, all of you!

Aww thank you so much that is so kind of you and I'm happy to put a smile on your face :)

[@alibol2343]

I didnrt know that you guys know Amy from Blondie in China. So nice when youtubers meet up. I also follow Katherine's Journey to the East. So I currently follow 3 people who vlog from and about China.

[@Nicofilms]

Yeah! We are Beijing besties! Used to live around the corner from each other. Haven't met Katherine yet, but maybe one day!

[@stevenkyle9426]

Wow, my hometown. I haven't been back for 5 years. Just miss those streets and the marvellous buffet in the bathhouses. Welcome to Shenyang and I am going to share your video with my friends in Canada.

[@Nicofilms]

Thanks so much I hope it brought back good memories. Thanks for sharing!

[@HKChineseCanadian]

Love how you guys can eat local food and really enjoy it.

[@Nicofilms]

Local food is the best and China has so much of it!

Thank you for making this video about my hometown city :) I grew up in shenyang and left when I was 18 around 15 years ago, its more developed before but preserved a lot of the charm from back then. This video makes me smile so much.

[@Nicofilms]

Aww thanks so much that is lovely to hear, I'm pleased you enjoyed it!

[@emilydunbar7005]

Ha ha, you guys are too funny! Love this video, and can’t get enough of your happiness and funniness. Please give us more.

[@briansounalath]

People did seem really happy there. A lot of old people hanging out and socializing and dancing and exercising. It was very very clean for such a big populated city. You could see people cleaning all over.

[@Thomas-Chin10]

That's how the new year should begin!🤣Amy is definitely a pro when it comes to spas, and don't worry, Jack, couple more visits and you will get to at least 12!😂

[@Nicofilms]

We only go to spas with Amy she is definitely a pro! I don't think Jack will ever get to a 12 haha

[@szewhu]

Wow what a great video! What an eye opener for me! Thank you for sharing, Nico and Jack! I've been Shenyang once and I think it's about 15 years ago. Unfortunately, didn't see anything like the rubbing massage + buffet. Now guess I will go back there again. And btw what a pleasant surprise to see Amy also there having a happy time with you guys!

Next time we will definitely see more of the city.

Just so you know, you could road tripping around china with an ev. Whenever you went to the rural area and needed charging, just go to the village office, they usually have the charging station, fast and slow ones, supported by the national grid

视频里那辆代步小车可能不太合适，但是一辆正常航程的电动车应该是没有太大问题，了解一些使用事项，应对紧急状况的方式，提前规划好路线，毕竟前几年就有电动车进318线了。关于自驾去旅游是一个非常好的主意，也很符合你们深入体验各地文化的风格，考虑如果边境较多有跨国考虑油车也是不错的。相信基于这个方式会创作更多优质视频内容。

Also when did you film it ? It didn’t look so cold I would definitely consider visiting Dongbei I’m guessing you are back in uk 🇬🇧 now 🤨 (did u get snow today?) Take care Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧

[@Nicofilms]

Haha yeah, it was certainly an interesting experience I felt like we embraced it more than Jack that's for sure. We had a great time together. Got to try the local delicacies whatever they may be. It was a weird experience though but I do appreciate that nothing goes to waste here and in China in general. Unlike in Western countries where they don't use all the parts of the animal, here at least it goes further. Jack accidentally ended up eating meat as a teenager and then just carried on. He doesn't eat everything though and his whole family is still vegetarian. We filmed it in October so it wasn't that cold. Over winter though it is very cold though but I thought we went at a good time. No we aren't back in the UK yet we are in New Zealand at the moment but will be going back in February. ☺

中国没小费

[@yxeanget-any]

the purchasing power parity per capita is very high. the people are generally wealthier when compared to the necessities expenditure, in turn, making the city rank first in luxury goods consumption in the nation. this is largely attributed to the early leading industrial development and command economy. the physical environment especially the cool weather and the mature infrastructures makes it very comfortable to live in. ive lived in many cities both inside and out of china, and yet shenyang remains what i consider the the city in china that's the closest to a developed country both economically and socially. the city also is one of the top five cities with the highest literacy rate, and bed-to-patient ratio and least gender discimination. and most shockingly, shenyang has barely had any further development since the 90s. these traits shape the people of shenyang into a kind of humourous, passionate and extroverted personality.
