China cant afford too much hatred and negative influence.. that is what makes china today.. at the end of the day ordinary people only need peace and prosperity, that is what china government working on for the past 50 years.. one of the amazing result is : over 700 million chinese people out of poverty, many nation dont even have that much people right.. btw china still has the best government system so far in this planet.

The whole video, I can feel the British arrogance complaining about not enough people who are fluent in English in China. I only speak English and I traveled many places where almost no one speaks English. A lot of hand gesture, a bit imagination, and some understanding of local culture will make you guess 50% what people try to say, which is enough for tourists.

But the real, vast China will definitely bring you a pleasant journey with rich natural scenery, urban culture, and especially delicious food. In terms of food, in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, in addition to tasting local cuisine, you can also eat delicacies from other provinces. The Chinese people are generally gentle and kind, and the Chinese police will be willing to help. I wish you a happy journey~

Actually London has more cameras than Beijing !

[@jogana6909]

Monitoring itself requires cost. No one will monitor people on the street for no reason, which is not economically feasible. But if someone is stolen on the street, the stored video will become the most favorable clue.

[@user-yu4zb6cz8e]

The reason why there is less noise on the roads in China is because they are turning towards electric vehicles. There are indeed many cameras in China, but they do not affect normal people who work. China has a large population, and cameras can quickly find illegal people and deter you from stealing, and so on. China cannot use Google Maps app, but it can use the Gaode Maps app or Baidu Maps app. Chinese people are willing to help others. As long as you speak, most young people can speak a little English. There are also many Chinese delicacies, such as pancakes, fried meat skewers, Xiaolongbao, Beijing roast duck, and so on. You need to try.

I can never understand how "season travellers" never bother to learn some basic phrases in the country they are visiting. Or use a translation App at least. The world is not an Anglo world. A bit of the local language goes a long way and breaks down barriers. People all over the world are generally helpful I was stuck in Russia once and got very lost past midnight trying to find my way around the suburbs. I was told before going that Russians were rude. I had learnt some phrases on the plane (These was a long time ago before smart phones and when they were switching flags from Communist to Russian) Unfortunately for me the only phrase that stuck was "pardon me, where could I buy some Tampons" Which wasn't particularly useful as the bus arrived at its final terminus and the only other passenger was a drunk Babushka singing likely bawdy Russian songs. The bus driver asked me where I was suppose to alight (In Russian). I tried my best to mention the police stand in front of my communist anonymous (cookie cutter) looking high rise building. Surprisingly, he muttered something under his breath in Russian, uttered the only English word he knew "Wait" and turn his bus around. He took me (and Babushka) to a friend (By this stage it was way past 1am)...a young lady, pointed to her and uttered "English", she wasn't terribly happy to be roused from bed.... His friend obliged and asked me where I was trying to go. She mentioned that it wasn't very helpful to mention a police stand as a landmark since it was Moscow and there were quite a few police stands. So she did the next best thing and popped me and the bus driver (Minus the Babushka who had passed out) into her tiny car, drove us down to a police station (Now it was 2AM) The burly policemen tried to figure out my clearly poor direction sense. They in turn put me in a squad car and drove me around the bus route to figure out which police stand I was talking about. Eventually we ended up finding the place! 3AM Russians aren't known for smiling but they were heart of gold trying to get me back safely. 😄 People surprise you and never listen to the propaganda about any country in the Anglo media. Utter nonsense.

Gao De maps/(高德地图) (and Baidu maps) are the local maps people use, Gao De's data is in fact the one apple maps uses. The sim card and id card is indeed a trouble in the beginning. Also many many young(not elder ones )Chinese can say some good English esp. in big cities like Beijing and Shang Hai and Guangzhou (each capital city of the provinces), if you need to ask people for help, try to find the young guys, haha! also Baidu translator is very helpful. The vpn is a trouble as you said ,haha! People in Weibo/微博 commented that it seemed you didn't take much time to make a plan and just explore it directly and bravely, haha! The time you arrived Beijing was late night ,so there were not too many people to see and ask for help, that's a little inconvenience indeed.

The surprising fact is that China has the largest population of Mandarin speakers as well as English speakers in the world ! Almost every child has gotten English classes in primary school. Can you say the same if any British or American kids have gotten Mandarin classes in their schooling ? Looks like only the wealthy ruling class in the US and the UK force their children to learn Mandarin because they know that is the future if their kids are going to do well in business.

You can buy a transport card at the ticket booth, that would save you a lot of trouble, and you can use them on buses as well. They cost 20rmb from memory, and you can load a little bit of money on them. You can also buy them at corner stores. You don't need to register or anything to buy one.

It seems like you guys haven't done enough homework, or have prepared well for your trip. It might just be your travel style, which is fair enough.

Hi guys, think u should get sorted out earlier as already know payment and language barrier. I had language barrier too in Japan. It’s fine given a slow start, wish u both has a good journey.

Yes first day in any country is about trying to figure things out. I think I lot of KZbinrs don’t show this stuff but it’s good to be real.

[@OTWD_yt]

We have plans too. Thank you so much 😊

[@ivyshy98]

it's only memorable if it rains 😅 just use one of payment apps for metro. also the can only use cash if you have a chinese id is probably lost in translation somewhere. pretty much the only people who use cash are tourists. hopefully day 2 will be less chaotic but I have a funny feeling already if you are planning on some of the top sights without pre-booking tickets 😆

[@OTWD_yt]

Haha yes day ones just about getting this sort of stuff out the way promise day two will be better 😂 but first Impressions of the people are the best! ❤️

[@oamine1993]

There is no problem in translation there. You can’t use the ticket machine in Beijing without a Chinese ID

[@tuesdae666]

Chinese people do not need ideologies and empty promises from politicians. They want safe, peaceful lives, good food, a roof over their heads, education and a good future for their children. If the government can deliver at least those basics then the people are at least satisfied. They don’t quarrel over what can or cannot be taught in schools or gender politics which are just basically ways cooked up by certain countries to divide the electorate to get votes.

Mass flooding caused by record breaking rains in southern China well Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Macau, HK area..... not sure if anyone is familiar with Jerry's take on China hes in Zhongshan, Shenzhen Guangzhou... still not sure if hes been affected by floods

The popularity of English in Asia has a lot to do with Western colonization. In modern history, most Asian countries were colonized by the West, and English, French, and Portuguese were designated as official languages, so they were widely spread. China has never been colonized by the West in history, so it stands out. I hope you have a good trip!
