How Expensive is Guangzhou China? TRAVEL COST

[@patrickx6940]

lived 5 years in GZ, great city ! Should be Mango season now, enjoy

[@ansonip994]

Wow, you definitely travel like the local! 👍 It's really the best way to feel the local life style and culture.

[@timetime8832]

Buy all of them online,only half price,free shipping，China's laundries only do dry cleaning. At this price, you can find another way to wash

[@user-li1zi7hg7wx]

You were really travelling in the local areas of Guangzhou, especially the small food shops. Although i came from north China and am living in Germany, you still made me homesick. Thanks for the objective filming.

[@alki.paraskevas9527]

Cary F what are you doing in Germany ? Now a day China looks much better than Europe

[@salvadorhenriquez4091]

@@alki.paraskevas9527 exactly, i think he would be living better there, but if he works as a videogame programmer, Germany should be a good place

[@illicituri7746]

@@salvadorhenriquez4091 i am pretty sure you make more money in Germany than in china. the fact that the products are so cheap probably reflect on the salary of a normal Chinese citizen

[@jenniferpearson6843]

I enjoy your videos so much more than certain other China vloggers! You are so positive! Appreciate this!

[@penguinpingu3807]

I expect to be more expensive in the Touristy areas. Keep it up. You doing a great job

[@williamzhaohargis9384]

It is great to see you enjoyed visiting China that much. My partner and I were there few weeks back, he was like didnt want to try public transport, didn’t want to eat that on the street, didn’t want to get sick.... I totally lost the joy of travelling lol I think next time I’m going along 🤣

[@yangzhwo9779]

Same experience on me & the same wish for next trip - go alone, lol.

7：00 we call it milk beverage, some people think it is another kind of yogurt, while others argue it is a beverage.(Ok, I dont know lol)

[@rachelkirby5099]

The AMP metro is one of my favorites here! If you get the end the have the window seats where everyone loves to watch out. The lights they have just make it worth taking the AMP. I’ve only taken it twice since it’s not very convenient for me to where I live.

[@TheMantis25]

Considering the size of the room it is a great deal. Sometimes it is worth spending a little extra for comfort. I'm sold on the bathroom! Too bad there wasn't a self-serve laundry. Other than the hotel the most money spent was on the laundry. The food looked delicious! Thanks for sharing! Can't wait for the next video!

[@eggdumpling6549]

Things in the convenience store are a little more expensive than those in the supermarket. Go find a Walmart, you can find better deals.

[@ABitofEverythingCounts]

Good Video, 7:37, how do you know products is counterfeit in continent store or shopping mall

[@fredwu7169]

Great Video. Informative and most importantly, Positive! Have a great time in Guangzhou 👍

[@yuexc1988]

laundry 150 RMB?! it must be dry-cleaning

[@mytube30005]

That seems very expressive compared to others things in China. We had a hard time finding a laundromat in Shanghai. Then we're lucky to found a hotel with a washer. Are there laundromat in Guangzhou? How do the local do their laundry?

[@peterluo1776]

The laundry part though... 9 ahurst, 1 pair of jeans, 7 pair of boxes for 2 weeks 😂😂 Nice video bro.

[@firesfires1796]

Nice vids man. I'm in Panyu district Luoxi town. Should meet up sometime... Those small little milk stuff is probiotics and I believe the one you drank in the vid is some coconut soy milk mixture.

[@rpa00]

Nice to see you back. Great video. I'm going in September hopefully it won't be as hot then. Lol.

[@mariama8547]

the weather in september is around 25 to 30 centi degree. no bad.

Using subway card for more than 16 times in a month. Later on you'll 40% discount of the fee each time in this month. The lowest fee of subway in Guangzhou is 2 yuan. When you use it in the 17th time, the fee is 1.2 yuan. Bus has the similar rule of it too.

[@stevencassidy6982]

I am not sure anywhere is cheap nowadays. Prices go up, but wages stay the same. Nice to see you back

Welcome to the channel! I hope you have a great time in Guangzhou.

[@chibeechan]

@@PatMaxAdventures Thank you!! :)

[@antonellobacchetti2429]

Nice burger! It reminds me of a kebab, I mean those Istanbul kebab places for eating where you order a roll with salad, ketchup, mayonnaise etc. and of course meat, they also have many kinds of pizzas, chips, drinks. Here in Italy for example you can find lots of those, have you found them anywhere in all the places you have visited?

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

Great video breaking down the cost! Thank you 😁

Guangzhou is very hot in summer, and it starts raining everyday now☔️

[@hjm233]

Guangzhou is “rainy city“

[@dakine988]

What time of the year is the coolest temperature in Guangzhou?

[@leoxiao5228]

As a businessman, I find that Guangzhou is the best destination compared other mega cities as Beingjing, Shanghai, even Shenzhen in terms of friendness/openness of local, living/traveling cost, climate environment, etc. paying a trip of even expand your business here is not a bad choice! For me, as a hunanese, I settled down here

[@travelnimble]

Great Video. I didn't have much time in Guangzhou during my 1 month trip in China.

[@shizhi2806]

Nice vid. As a GuangZhou local I recommend u dial 960169 when u encounter language barriers in GZ ... According to my friend who works for this hotline, their interpreters can translate for expats if they need to talk to locals who don't speak English. and the translation service is free

[@cristianinternationaltrade9227]

Guangzhou in June is hot, daylight over 40 degrees, humidity 90% plus and by night is still strong heat around 35 degees, untill end of september Guangzhou and south of China is crazy hot over 45 degrees sensation. I lived in Guangzhou in Tian He district for the last 8 years. Food is not expensive but imported meat is expensive actually everything which is imported is really expensive in China. Metro and bus are very cheap, even taxi is cheap. Rent an apartment is expensive specially in Tianhe, Liede and Zhuliang new town, around these areas apartments are insane expensive but around this area is the most clean modern and international area of Guanzghou.

[@Princessmom9]

I'm scheduled to move to Guangzhou in late October but was considering asking my job to send me to Shenzhen instead. Which do you think is more expensive? Both look beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@PatMaxAdventures]

There is not much of a difference. it really depends on where you go and stay within each city.

[@luckymoii]

Come to Shenzhen....haha that’s where I am from

[@jasonwellie2702]

Shenzhen is more expensive

[@sevensmith460]

Shenzen is more expensive but much easier to access HK GZ more of a homey feel.

[@handesenlu747]

Shenzhen is much better than guangzhou

[@stonebreaker950]

remember the weight unit in China is call "jin", equal to 500g or 1.1 pound

[@zachjarsle4606]

Chinese people use jin a lot especially in market buying vege and meat. I'm afraid some foreigners don't know jin=500g.

Bro, nice video! I’ve been living and working in Guangzhou for the past 10 years. You’re more frugal than the local. I can’t even do it myself. I guess it’s a wake up call for me. I spend like if I were still living in Canada. It’s sad I know

What are hotel prices today, any that you can recommend? I am planning a trip, hopefully later this year from the states.

[@fluffybunny5491]

Hi Patrick. I'm planning to go to China (Shanghai / Hongkong / Guangzhou???) around the end of this summer so I've been watching some of your videos already. But I am really anxious about this because I don't know the language. I'm trying to learn the bare basics but... my brain is so sloooow. As this is my first trip, (and maybe for other first timers) would you have any tips about how to make this more 'local', as how you found your accomodation, etc... How would you prepare for this? (money, phone, health, ...) Thanks a lot for sharing your travel adventures.

[@zeroa1130]

English is common in HK tho, SH and GZ would be a bit challenging to you. Don't forget the Great Firewall, you'd better to prepare the counterpart apps first

[@zolanateta65]

Fluffy Bunny you should definitely consider renting a room through Airbnb, and about the language, as long as you have google translate you will survive. Also apps like DiDi(china’s Uber) will be very useful. Beware that this season it gets really hot throughout the entire country. You should definitely come to Guangzhou, you would enjoy it for sure, it’s a very nice city 👌🏾

[@homersu8042]

there's no need to worry about the landuague in the big cities of china. a great number of the younger generation is able to sepak english. and google translation will help you a lot. it's good to buy a local sim card when you landed on the airport, so that you can have the internet access.

[@davidchamberlain5358]

I recommend you download "Dear Translate" app. It can help you to do the translation. I think it will cover almost all use cases. For bookings, just Expedia's or airbnb is fine

[@fluffybunny5491]

Thank you to each of you for your precious tips.

any chance you can share how did you found your accommodation in guangzhou???

[@martinxma6949]

Just a tip, China doesn’t really have laundromat kind of stores but dry cleaners, so doing laundry can be tricky. I’d recommend book one night of Airbnb that comes with a washer, to stay at a holiday inn express(the only brand i found in China that has self-laundry, including DRYERs!)

[@hans6809]

[@kiddykid5089]

you should find a Airbnb to live rather than a hotel. airbnb you can cook or do your laundry, and the price is also affordable.

[@PatMaxAdventures]

Unfortunately Airbnb's are difficult in China. I am more comfortable in Hotels in China.

I am a Chinese living in Guangzhou. In fact, the per capita wage in Guangzhou is less than 8,000 yuan(about 1165 US dollars)a month. Perhaps this price is very cheap for people in developed countries. But I think eating now is more expensive.😳
