The Side of China You've NEVER Seen 🇨🇳

Watch British Couple, Jack and Paige in their first impressions of Beijing, China. We set out on our next big adventure, to explore the world's most populated country. In this video, we start by exploring the area surrounding Tiananmen Square and find a sleeping street vendor who gets Paige involved in creating his masterpiece, a sugar Dinosaur. We find our way to the Beijing Subway and take the metro down to the old Hutongs of Beijing. People say that the real culture of Beijing lies in the Hutongs. We meet friendly Beijingers who help us navigate the maze of streets before stumbling across 2 old men sitting in the sun. We head to the local liquor store to pick up some Chinese Liquor, Baijiu, and the Famous Chinese Crepe, Jianbing before heading back to our newly found friends. We pull up a chair in the Beijing sun and crack open the spirit to share amongst the locals. We sit and chat for hours while drinking, the old men teach Jack how to drink the Beijing way and we discuss hutong life and try some new interesting food, pig tongue, and jelly? Things get heated when we try to offer money to our new friends, as a thank you. We ended the day on a high and feeling grateful for our new friends who welcomed us with open arms.

Those two old men are really friendly. They suggested that you slow down your drinking pace so that you can appreciate the beauty of Baijiu and it is less likely for you to get drunk, which is beneficial to your health. They won't take your money because in China, friendship is more important than money. Hutongs are not slums. In Beijing, people living in hutongs are old residents who have lived here for generations. They own the houses, so they don't need to pay rent. Given the housing prices in Beijing, these two old men are rich and don't lack money. They just want to enjoy the wonderful time with you in a friendly way. China is a country that attaches great importance to friendship, tradition, and family. I wish you a pleasant journey!

[@klauslayard7469]

Most of your words are exactly right! But they are not rich people. Although the location of their house is very near the center of Beijing, they won't or can't sell house in Hutong for cash. That's why they don't look like rich man. And of course they can feed themselves, just normal standard.

[@dakraol6680]

@@klauslayard7469 If they are willing to sell their hutong houses, they will become rich. The price of hutong houses in this location is 40,000 US dollars per square meter. The average size of each hutong house is about 200 square meters. Do the math yourself.

[@chengcheng2550]

@@dakraol6680 You don't know the reality of Beijing. These old people are not rich people. Many people in hutong houses only live in 10-30 square meters, and if these houses are sold, they may be about 150,000 yuan per square meter. The money obtained could only buy very small or suburban houses elsewhere in Beijing. From the clothes and mannerisms, they should have ordinary jobs or have retired, and their monthly income is not much, I estimate less than $1,000. But because they are actually ordinary Chinese (even poor ones in Beijing), their hospitality is all the more valuable, isn't it? ----- This comment is written by a 40-year-old living in Beijing

You guys are the first youtuber who put perspective on the cityzen's real daily life and the culture communication. I didn't expect you learned a little bit Chinese, when I heared you say "chi le ma" （吃了吗/have you eaten）I was shocked. Most foreigners don't know this is the real way chinese say hi. A comment on Bilibili (your video is moved to this main video website in china) said your video shows the original situation when the cultural exchanged started.

The reason why Beijing Hutong only has public toilets is because these buildings were built over the past few hundred years. During the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, there were no underground sewage pipes. Now these buildings are all protected buildings and cannot be demolished or rebuilt on a large scale, so underground sewage pipes cannot be installed. They can only serve the public in the form of public toilets

This is the most amazing China travel Vlog I've ever seen so far!!!!! LOVE IT!

[@KickLZ-wg4nk]

This is one of the most interesting videos I have ever watched. Your conversation with two elderly people made me laugh uncontrollably. It's so cute and warm. Welcome to China! Also, some people may have already said that they ultimately hope you will go to that table to drink together in the future.

[@w.z.6062]

I love you guys so much. You are nice and funny! You can communicate with the locals so well. you brought tears in my eyes. Enjoy your trip in China!

[@Pruddles6]

My fav video so far!

[@rlai2201]

As a Chinese born Canadian… Jack/Paige… you are both my most favorite dual travel vlogger. You both have an open mindset, giving yourself and us the opportunity to have the same travel experience whilst just watching your videos. It’s a breath of fresh air! We are living in a different world these days… having to live through covid… many ppl (Chinese) have been a victim, been demonized by the pandemic. I truly wish with your videos… everyone can be more open to other cultures, embrace one another’s language and food. Thank you so so much for your effort and time to explore, and learn the truth of China and the ppl. God bless you both!

[@YanYvonne-fp9qi]

Absolutely incredible video. So real hutong life and hutong people. ❤❤

[@freeshSmith]

Kept smiling to see you guys communicating with totally different languages.What a marvellous adventure you got.

[@JackAynsleyTravel]

I agree, always have to put yourself out of your comfort zone!

[@user-or9ue6fu6e]

I have seen many bloggers who travel to China, and almost none of them take the initiative to communicate and greet locals with enthusiasm like you do. However, you have done so and received positive responses. I am Chinese, and what I want to say is that the vast majority of Chinese people are enthusiastic. When you need any help, you can boldly try to communicate with people and seek help

[@johnwayne8475]

My hats off to you, I've never seen someone do what you just did, striking up a friendship with the local Chinese with rudimentary language skills but building a deep respect and friendship. If there are more people like you, there is still hope for peace to our world.

[@wangliraul]

Very good and interesting conversation 😂 Great video to show the local Beijing hutong culture 🎉🎉

[@user-if1vh8po2f]

Wonderful video - you are a wonderful couple, and you brought out the best in the two Chinese gentlemen !!!

[@stupplays]

that was freaking awesome really enjoyed watching that

[@MikeJones-qp1nk]

@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt We Chinese also hate those who harass Chinese people who play the piano. They bring shame to us. They destroy our international image. But they are only a small minority. They cannot represent all Chinese people. Please don't say this over and over again under each reply.

[@javapython3461]

​@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vtAfter seeing you, I believe that Ukraine should indeed be repaired by Russia, which is a very correct thing; Do you like my reply🤡

[@hong3170]

this is the most interesting China travel KZbin video I have watched. you know how to start a party with some locals not much understanding each other.

[@xifengling]

Your video is really good! You have photographed the real old Beijingers, China welcomes you! Good luck to you!

[@JackAynsleyTravel]

Thank you pal, I hope you enjoy the rest of our series from China!

[@sjfbrkdnjrkdkajdjoajfok-2]

I haven’t been back to Beijing for so long ! It seems that BJ has become more beautiful! Thanks for letting me have a second trip through your channel. Great editing ❤

[@JackAynsleyTravel]

I agree! Beijing is nothing like it was when we went in 2018! We loved our time there we didn't want to leave!

[@user-cq5rq1um5b]

@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vtpray for your country first, dude.🤣🤣🤣

[@kristy_23]

Yes 😁 So glad to see a new video Jack and Paige! I’ve loved watching all your videos and was wondering when and where the next one would be! I would love to do what you guys do - also I love that you learn a bit of the language as well, it’s very inspiring and so amazing that you can interact with people! I appreciate the addition of subtitles when you speak to locals! ❤

[@JackAynsleyTravel]

Hey Kirsty, thank you so much for watching! I’m glad you liked the subtitles too haha they take awhile but add so much context to those that don’t understand the Chinese (me included ahah)

[@YoutubeAccount-me3bv]

I'm so impressed by your chinese! Even with the little you knew you were able to keep up a conversation and even decipher bits and pieces of what he was saying. You're a natural!~

[@loct3901]

Amazing true reality of china! I just found your channel and can't wait to continue the journey with you. Well done from Canada

[@AADD-xd4rl]

This is indeed a relatively common drinking scene and habit in China. When drinking is paired with delicious dishes, it can not only add flavor, but also make the drinking process more rich and enjoyable. While tasting delicious food, chatting while drinking tea and enjoying the relaxed and leisurely atmosphere, this way also reflects the integration of Chinese food culture and social culture. Different regions may also have their own characteristic side dishes and drinking customs, all of which have unique charm.

[@wilsonwu76]

appreciate what you did in old traditional Hutong China, and love the way you were doing. you are so brave to talk with Chinese even there is a language barrier.

[@hannibalyin8853]

Hi Jack, I'm a student from Beijing and I saw your video on Bilibili. Your comprehension skills are brilliant! I hope you have experienced the enthusiasm of the Chinese people. We may meet again in China? All the best to you. :)

[@JackAynsleyTravel]

Hey! Thanks for coming over from Bilibili to watch the video!! We have been having the best time in China, hopefully when we can back nexts we may meet! ❤️

[@KaihongYang]

Love love your videos. I have to say you guys are very rare foreign visitors really dive into the local culture experience instead of just going to tourist sites. And Jack is really nice trying his best to speak Chinese as much as he can, that's very very Cool and Chinese people respect that. By the way, a lot of people love your videos on Chinese Tiktok(Douyin) as well. I first saw your videos from Douyin and find you guys here. Enjoy your visit, you will find more fun there, since China is a vast country, each province has different types of foods and different scenarios to explore.❤

[@bepondyoung3225]

[@ying9671]

Hi Jack & Paige, we really enjoyed your video! And I was very positively surprised that you know the Chinese drinking etiquette of lowering your glass than the others’ by clinking! So did the two “dàye” in this video😄 I really appreciate the interest you’ve taken in getting to know such things. Just offering them money in this case might seem a little arrogant, but no worries, we all know that you meant it in a good way. Maybe for the next time you could give people some small stuff like a souvenir from the UK if you happen to have any. Cheers laotie! ❤

Hi JACK, you videos are very touched brilliant I love the way you communicated with the local people in Beijing. I hope you had a very happy time in China. love from bilibili❤❤

[@dragongirl266]

I smiled ear to ear watching you enjoy food and drinks with the senior residents and each understand the other only by 20%. They were so caring that they watched out for you and didn’t want you to get blind drunk. Unlike other societies where the guys would snicker and think it’s comical to get you wasted/inebriated. Bravo to you and Paige for interacting in this way with the locals - I bet they will have good stories to tell their friends & families for a looooooon time!

@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt Finally, the only thing I know about playing the piano is that any trivial matter about the Chinese people will be exploited and exaggerated by the Western media into something unforgivable. The Western media will always look at China with a magnifying glass, but they will always be saints! For example, during the Palestinian genocide, the mainstream Western media suddenly became blind; haha, typical hypocritical double standards of the West!

[@javapython3461]

@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt 泽连斯基是这个小丑演员！被美国颜色革命后，推出来的傀儡！泽连斯基让乌克兰一代人全部死光了，到处抓人上战场！为什么？因为他根本不认为自己是乌克兰人，他是犹太人！美国主体是由昂撒人组成，但是却是被犹太人控制！这就是你们的真正的现实！

[@javapython3461]

@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt 另外，一个弹钢琴的小事，可以被西方媒体炒作成一件天大的事，这说明什么？你自己想！永远拿放大镜找中国人问题；你们自己的屁股干净吗？不要脸！西方媒体指控中国的时候，总是连证据都拿不出来；便可以随意造谣污蔑！你这个圣人怎么不站出来主持公道？！虚伪的双标！每天被西方媒体洗脑，还不知道！自己跑到新疆来看看真相，被洗脑的傻子！相反，巴勒斯坦被真正的种族灭绝，西方政客和媒体从不说话，还一直送武器！哈哈哈，真正的小丑

[@ALWH1314]

The first time I went to Shanghai in 2002, public toilet lacks door was a challenge to us. So female friends would go in pair with one acting as door, one female friend carried an umbrella as her way to keep privacy, lol. By 2010 world expo, Shanghai was totally different, public restrooms were clean with door, just some you have to buy toilet paper, not anymore in my last visit 2019. Look forward to visit again.

[@JackAynsleyTravel]

I have just left and can’t wait to go back already! I’ll tell Paige about the umbrella trick!!
