I'm really enjoying these vlogs! Nice to see what it's like through a local's eyes.

[@victoriac1672]

This is so cool! Real life vs. what you can learn from dramas😂 Thank you for taking us along with you!

[@thirstwithoutborders995]

I love these vlogs so much. I watched a whole documentary about Chongqing in Mandarin, before I realized it came with subtitles on YT, but not on the Youku app. Fell in love with it, from a distance after watching Dear Diary.

[@fianorian]

It's 23c in the UK as I write this and I'm melting! My brain just does not compute being able to move around in those kinds of temperatures. I am really enjoying these little local trips, about the everyday life that we would not get to see on the internet.

[@Lucid5Qa]

The UK weather is bipolar... We had a nice and cool July/August.. But suddenly its melting ewwwww... As soon as school start WHY!!!!

[@Helghast73]

🤔 London was like 30c at that time, I’ll gladly take the 23c 😂

[@naleenidas8444]

23 deg celcius is considered cool in my neck of the world :)

[@fianorian]

@@naleenidas8444 Lol. The average September temp. here is 17c. It's strange how the human body adapts to a certain range of temperatures. 23c is apparently out of my body's range. :D

[@fianorian]

@@Helghast73 Wow! I would die.

[@megumim6795]

thank you so much for this chongqing vlog! love it! btw. I was totally surprized by the size of the noodle bowl. Thought, it's rather small just bc of the chopsticks. I've never thuoght, ppl eat noodles with such large chopsticks!!! It looks like the chopsticks for cooking... (I come from Japan)

[@colonyofcellsiamamachine6175]

water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) 空心菜 kong xin cai is called ong choy 蕹菜 in america bec most chinese in america are cantonese (can be found in asian grocery stores). In hong kong, cantonese name is tung choi (通菜). In the philippines, water spinach is called kang kong which is maybe from the fujian dialect. Water spinach is used in many asian countries.

[@noviben_]

Interesting. In Indonesia, we call it kang kung 😊

[@lili9630]

The noodles look so good! These vlogs are so lovely😊

[@kori2chan]

This is so interesting to see from the local view! Can you show us more food options from Chongqing including non-spicy ones 😃? Also for travelers, can they use credit card to pay or is it from scanning a QR code?

[@grammarnazi12]

Interesting how every part of china seems to have their own way of naming food items. For the 空心菜，in cantonese we call it 通菜 (my family is from HK, not sure if its different in cantonese speaking parts of mainland).

[@xygog2408]

We also call it 通菜 in Teochew in Indonesia/Singapore

[@debbiec3119]

Thank you for taking us with you! So much fun!

[@wollevy2328]

Thanks, I enjoyed that! Great looking bowl of noodles and great to see AvenueX out and about!

[@naleenidas8444]

That vegetable is called Water Convolvulus. Rampantly grows in South East Asia too.

[@melindamucsi]

Absolutely loving these vlogs!

[@chhingse7989]

I am loving the vlogs…enjoy the rest of your stay and keep safe❤

[@susamirain]

[@miiwubful]

I LOVEEEEE these vlogs!!!! If you have the time I would love to see more! I hope I get to go home for a visit soon

[@bellabermudas]

Thanks a lot! I’m really enjoying your tours. I love your visor as it completely covered your face. Great pick for the temperature. The area you were in looks pretty clean and neat, keeping in step with what audiences see in drama land. Looking forward to the next vlog so until then stay hydrated and take care. 💃🏽

[@tangerinebreath]

[@dannybae]

This was helpful! Im in China traveling rn and will be in Chongqing this weekend.

[@GreyHippo]

Those noodles look amazing! I haven't had lunch yet so I am extra starving now.

[@Theravenwhiteone]

I hope you can also cool off in an A/C movie theatre and review "All Ears" for us. Thanks for taking us along!

[@linalee1790]

Very enjoy your vlog!

[@suzyko5668]

You should do this regularly. Really enjoying your travel vlogs!

[@pengdubit]

Interesting..love these cultural blurbs

[@matthewdong9368]

Haha we got the same drink at Heytea, personally i think its good overall, maybe a bit lighter than what i would usually like coz it's more like a slush, but the grapes are pretty fresh.

[@cashmerecat9269]

kong xing cai is called morning glory and kangkung in Indonesia.

[@bienenfluegel]

I wish I had those noodles right now. Looks so delicious!

[@thu4061]

All the food looks good, I'm lucky enough to live in a corner of the Midwest with similar shops.

[@marenhumblebee2736]

Oh I love this so much! I want a fruit tea like that and the noodles 😮😮😮 also I forgot the hat 😊 I want a sun protector like yours ❤ so cute

[@thanhtuyentttt1106]

I really like your vlog, please do more this kind of video ❤❤

[@veryqun]

Love your cider 😁

[@missmiaw1033]

I love these vlogs in China ~ I dream of visiting it 💖

[@ptschinesechannel9]

Great fun video. 37 degrees!! 🥵🥵 Love seeing local life in CQ! 37d Thank you!🥰

[@lilyTlily]

We hv similar tea options in Singapore too! Love your food and walkabout vlogs. Keep them coming. As for Cdrama, the only one that is ongoing and worth watching is My journey through you. I think 2 gold mines so far in my opinion.

[@narz5355]

Me encanta tu sombrero😍

[@Helghast73]

Parallel World with Bai Yu and Ni Ni has started to air on Viki 😁😁😁

[@risan3022]

The noodles look delish! But don't think I can stand the heat. :D Would love to try the tea!

[@alexriley]

Ahh… it was 37C over the weekend in peg city. It has calmed down, maybe a bit too much because it was 8C last night.

[@robingreen3844]

Thank you again for sharing another dot in your life.❤

[@ashielfaye]

love this video, thank you😊😊 i wanted to try the maotai ice cream😂😂😂

[@yinxuehui]

LOVE LOVE kong xin cai!!

[@majesty1144]

Awesome show today. I am really loving this Vlog. Keep it coming. Let’s do a live video soon. I feel like I am in china with you eating that yummy noodle 🍜. 😅You look good in the burgundy Tshirt 👏

[@tonydeluna8095]

You look so gorgeous with the hat AvenueX

[@wsytch4879]

轻轨 in China is actually light metro or just above ground metro, not light rail. In official technical documentations, it's classified by the capacity rather than weight of the rail. And some people call all above ground metro light rail, thanks to Changchun, which called their first metro service "light rail" in order to overpass limits from the central government. The real light rail is usually refered to as 有轨电车(tram) in China.

[@dannichen6049]

❤

[@megawatijapardi3239]

In indonesia we call it kangkung 😊

[@renekia]

This video is not good for my diet. Looks so good!

[@strangersontheinternet]

Ordering drinks for delivery is such an odd thing for me 😅 I see it a lot in dramas but coming from a small city in europe this is not something we do. We rarely even order food as there are only 2 options

[@appleish5043]

Lol, you are brave to eat those noodles in China. I wouldn’t after learning about the chilli oil 😖. Also that sort of cups are pretty bad for the environment, in term of reusability. The one with the flat lid are actually much better as it comes with a stronger cup, the lid are most water tight than other types.

[@LanYuuren_noona]

1:40 The noodles made me drool 🤤 I was wondering if the green veggie is kangkong "Chinese spinach," and it is~ and made me drool even more~ For some reason I'm thinking the noodle is spicy 😢😢😢 I can't handle spicy huhu. Also love seeing the local view~ and yet again I envy how clean most of the streets are 😅

[@wollevy2328]

How cute in that hat! Please get well soon.

[@namkaengpancharat9031]

❤❤❤

[@user-xc1ot6ib5v]

More food videos, please!

[@theNfl_Esq]

Hard core! I won’t be eating this hot noodles in Houston during the summer. I don’t dare try the super hot 🥵 unless I can get a date with you 🙃❕

[@miiwubful]

lmao the guy who was just passed out at the noodle shop XD

[@hin3785]

Have you done Lasik to your eyes? It seems that you don't wear glasses anymore, If so could you make a video about it?

[@poyun30]

Why do you look so small next to the noodle bowl. Is Chongqing bowl that big?!! :P This vlog is very lovely. Wishing you a happy holiday, AvenueX!

[@nanatron]

Hi! Appreciate this kinda vlog! I am a muslim and wonder if Chongqing has halal restaurants? Or at least vegan hotpot restaurants? 😅 looking forward for more vlogs

[@ulaalu4356]

It will have one at least due to the massive size of the city but it is more common in north and northwest of China. That means, from Xi’an to the west of China ( shaanxi, Ningxia, Qinghai, gansu and Xinjiang ) it follows the silk route really well.

[@mariocomputer808]

OMG I want to eat those noodles so bad!!!

[@user-mq3ke4ly1d]

There was a hey tea in southern California. It didn't make it. I tried cheese tea there.

[@panpan741108]

小麵看起來非常有食慾！

[@user-ni8nx7sy2k]

今天才发现《骄阳伴我》是在重庆开机取景的😂。

[@strangersontheinternet]

Deepest subway? Yes pls

[@sandralow4246]

Is the soup spicy?

[@lillygirl7238]

Yummy.

[@idmwwwiomwwa]

Where is the hat from? How do I buy it?

[@colonyofcellsiamamachine6175]

Up to the late 1970s, there was still plenty of rationing of meat via meat coupons so I can understand why the old style chongqing noodles did not have any meat in it, and it is much healthier without meat (just take vitamin b12 supplement if cutting down on animal products). Greens actually have some protein altho need to eat plenty of vegetables. If I make my own noodles soup, I would use lots of vegetables. If want more protein, can include soybeans, soybean sprouts, mung beans, mung bean sprouts, lentils, peas, etc. Altho can take some effort to find whole grain noodles in asian grocery stores (easy to find in health foods stores like trader joe's). maybe the version with less soup is more authentic. There are some versions of chongqing noodles with lots of soup. I do see some obese customers and obesity has been a problem in china ever since the 1980s when people started eating more animal products and refined chemicals like oil (oil used to be rationed also up to the late 1970s). Most asians are now addicted to deep fried chicken. Seems like more common to speak mandarin than the local chongqing dialect in businesses.

[@colourless6312]

please do videos on public transportation in china

[@titabrun923]

Love the hat :)

[@rendezvous6226]

I want to have the tea 😔🙏

[@xmb6793]

that vegetable in my dialect it's called eng chai. 🤣

[@joanaj1301]

I just watched the old version of wrong carriage right bride that I saw u talk about yesterday ,I actually did notice that the conversations r deeper and the story line is moe convincing just like u said girl, but I just couldn’t get over the fact that all the rooms and inner places r so stuffy and incredibly small that the feeling they gave is disturbing at the same time the outdoor scenes were much better ,and all the old stuffy aura is unacceptable to our new generations like the clothes and hair styles so I think it’s much better in the new one . Oh and the original song is nice but come on do u really think we can love this song with this type of music in this day..?? Soooo I loved the light hearted new version ,which is the first time your opinion is not the same as mine on a a drama 😅😂😂bc u r my go to KZbinr when I’m looking for new drama recommendations

[@vinicius_85]

昨天我喝了那个瑞幸茅台拿铁哈哈哈哈，不建议 不好喝 哈哈哈哈

So the flood didn't touch your city or?

[@cirene2143]
