Travel to CHINA after COVID: Exploring OLD BEIJING 🇨🇳

🚨 LAST VIDEO FROM CHINA!!! 🚨
In the final Travel to CHINA after COVID series, we're exploring OLD BEIJING. Beijing, like most Chinese cities, is a huge metropolis that's super modern on all levels. However, there exists a whole life within Beijing that goes on much like it did a hundred years ago, and that is within the Hutongs.

Bro, as a Beijinger, I will suggest you to travel around shichahai, beihai, gu lou(drum tower) and yonghegong(lama temple), where there are better view and hutongs🤣

[@shirleylee2885]

I watched it with insane curiosity. I can watch hours of videos like this, just love it. And the coffee and 🍸 treats were great too.

[@MrHiganiga1]

Lol you asked in the video if we're bored, no we are NOT bored. 😊 Please keep making these amazing and interesting videos on China!

[@tyronelowe7090]

Yes I remember walking down a houtong long ago in 2002. As a foreigner I wasn't sure what to expect but I did manage to get a shampoo and a haircut in the houtong for about $4 US, even without knowing the language. They had the barber sign in front.

I think the living cost in China, even in big cities like Beijing, is only around 30% of that in north America. The only problem is that the housing price is too high in big cities.

[@kenyup7936]

true, Beijing is way crazier than anywhere else in China, if someone own a house there, he's multi-millionaire for CNY, btw the cost of living in China is 30% of that in NA but the salary is 30% of anywhere of developed countries too

[@ferrytrailershipper]

China is such a big country, and I hope you get to go visit more cities next time, maybe Guangzhou for Cantonese cuisine, Harbin or Changchun for Northeastern cuisine, Qingdao for seafood (before it gets contaminated), XinJiang for Uyghur cuisine like chicken stew dapanji 大盘鸡, pilaf 抓饭, naan 馕, etc. Sichuan is not the only province to eat spicy food in China, you can also try visit Chongqing and Jiangxi. These 3 provinces are famous for eating spicy food. Chongqing is famous for its Yangtze River connection and its mountain-ish landscape. If you go to Jingdezhen 景德镇, which is in Jiangxi, you can check out the making of old porcelain as well.

I ❤ that big bowl of delicious noodles soup. I'm still watching 😊and I am also amazed how their building are structurally sound.

[@RicknMorty85]

Everything is so clean, the streets and all the home sidewalks. Good watch, thanks for the video

[@z_a_r_a_oxowowsb7511]

There’s a huge difference mood between outside & inside, very cool very interesting

[@joey3291]

Beijing meat pie and millet soup are good, make sure you try them next time😀

[@WesleyWinter.]

Enjoying the China content man! If you’re ever in Qingdao would be cool to show you around 👊🏻

[@kofeesala23]

The freshness of food is highly appreciated in China. Only a few privileged can still afford to live in these Hutongs. China's cities used to be packed with people, thanks to the rapid development over the last 30 to 40 years, people are now living in a 3-dimensional manner, in high-rise buildings, in huge shopping malls and in subways.

[@seaweed9999]

I like the length of the video. More to watch lol. The hu tong looks long, maybe easier to rent a bike instead of walking. Great video

[@alvinnnliu]

大哥对面条是真爱啊每顿都吃啊 Bro you're a true lover of noodles.😂

[@travelfareatlocal]

Truth 🍜

[@jusang6265]

Mouth watering noodles soup - yum!

[@guestonearth1274]

Amazing

[@accesser]

Well done finding that noodle place, I would have walked right past

[@ryuko8263]

北京は美しい

[@anypercentdeathless]

The hutongs are Potemkin villages. Those grey bricks aren't even bricks; they're tiles, made to look like bricks.

[@user-qy3uw5bi1d]

也许胡同不如现代化楼房宽敞，舒适，明亮，但仍有许多人愿意住在那里。胡同是中国人文化记忆。在现在钢筋水泥建筑之前，所有中国人居住的房子大体上都是这种样子，所以无论各地的中国人，特别是老人，看到这种环境，都会有种亲切感。 北京的开发过程中，拆了太多的古老的建筑，今天的许多人都感到可惜。 幸好北京二环内的胡同都保留了下来，让中国人可以在文化上寻找我们的根，也让年轻人了解到，中国人祖祖辈辈生活的状态。 感谢你展示中国地道的文化❤

[@alicemaple5423]

execellent vlog very high quality shots thankyou keep going !👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@wcoleman5555]

thanks for the video! ived there for a year, miss it all the time. The people, the food, the sights, the taxis, the subway, the si bai wei (subway sandwiches)...That being said, you can't see the blue sky more than half the time, the pollution covers it up. At least when I was there that was the case.

[@z_a_r_a_oxowowsb7511]

Good9, have a good day lol

[@iris-leaving-]

😂 u just wandered in hutong for a whole day,really amazing 😂😂😂but it’s a direct way to get in touch with local people and culture

[@jerryfish09]

By watching your video, I understand why Marco Polo invented Pasta, because he miss too much the noodle he eat in China😂

[@UTOB_ghost]

Thank you for loving Beijing! Hoping you can back again to explore more wonderful things of this city in the future😁😁

[@bl6623]

The music is very good. What is the song at the beginning of the video?

[@jay_leng]

For more views, try this new slogan: Travel Fat, Eat Local!😂😂😂

[@ruichen1141]

You must visit Hangzhou

[@travelfareatlocal]

Next time!

[@RoyFJ65]

You need to be back in China to explore more food.

[@mikenelson1624]

👍

[@jay_leng]

Don't eat too much noodles in China, otherwise you might transform to Kung Fu Panda.😂😂

[@markiegogh2333]

great video, love from a Chinese who's now in Uk.
