Lost on the Streets of Beijing, China 🇨🇳 (Forbidden City)

Lost on the Streets of Beijing, China! In this video we will explore around the city of Beijing to get our first impressions of this vibrant city. We will visit the famous CCTV building, the Lama Temple, and the Forbidden City to get a little understanding of how this city works. I will also go over all the applications such as Didi, Alipay and even how to use Google maps without a VPN.

China looks awesome bro cant wait to visit one day

[@bill_tan]

this man' IQ is much higher than most people

[@TravelAddictTez]

Usually, the most vocal people on the net are the least traveled. Keep up the great content, Chris. 😊

[@CloudHan-han]

in truth! Very insightful! I have also noticed that many abnormally active people always inexplicably blame other things, completely ignoring each other, which is ridiculous and sad.

[@katlyy6438]

Hello Chris! Welcome to China! I've been following you for 3 years! I watched all of your videos. I really like the way you do your videos. I always wait for you to come to China. Always sad that you went to many countries but not China. But you finally came! ❤❤❤

[@TravelAddictTez]

Lived & worked in China 🇨🇳 for 7 years. Good people. CHINA is "Hen hao!"

[@Travelwithchris]

💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 thanks for watching!

[@TravelAddictTez]

@@Travelwithchris Giddy up!

[@TravelAddictTez]

@artfulinspirations KFC 🍗 & other fast food franchises are better outside of the 🇺🇸 USA. Simply because the products are not tainted with toxic preservatives.

[@quyletran]

Those young Chinese at the temple are most likely unemployed youths praying for jobs or better jobs.

[@bepondyoung3225]

​@@Travelwithchris Love your positive energy and well prepared, you are very smart to learn new things very quickly.

[@DutchFlavour]

When I came to the the Forbidden City in China 15 years ago when I was 18 that was the most eye opening experience of my life. China is so amazingly beautiful and my next destination will be China in the near future for sure. Me and my brother who studied there went to the club on a monday and a street vendor opened his stall up on a random monday night selling us everything he had and I ate everything and it was fucking delicious and so so so life changing. Wow it's so crowded now there in 2024 I was one of the only people there with my brother and his friend from Beijing student friend. Crazyyyyy

[@ipg6772]

I was also there 15y ago! I went for a summer language course in Tianjin Foreign Language University. I literally went clubbing every fucking night for 3 months straight. Fucking awesome experience!!! 😅

[@DutchFlavour]

@@ipg6772 Hahahaha thats the same experience I had there my brother and those students went to the club every day at Jianxi University in Ghuangzhou man what a lovely experience, travel a bit and party every day hahahahah. Man China is and was crazy AF

That's fantastic Bro. I went there last December, and going back next year. I love it.

[@Adankayak]

Loved watching your travels videos 😊 . Keep up the great awesome videos brother 🤙

[@ScienceBro92]

I'm half tempted to teach English in China next year, so your video came at the right time for me!

[@kennyng2289]

When you communicate with the local Chinese people, ALWAYS use translator. No point asking them questions in English. I suggest that you get a separate translator for ease of use instead of using your phone's translation apps. You're to carry your passport all the time. It could be used as your ticket, especially to train stations.

[@Sasanka197]

Such a lovely place, with nice people. Would love to see more China vedios. Great content as usual. Keep up the good work Chris❤❤❤

[@melc6317]

I enjoy watching this video and look forward to more China series videos.😊

[@rmwgroup3465]

Chris, this is ONE of the very BEST videos so far.....Liking it so much, so different and interesting.

[@yewbtang1848]

Really loved this video! Makes me want to visit Beijing! 👍🏼

[@humblehouse]

Oh, 'low crime does not mean NO crime' - even in a safe country like China, it is always good to maintain a healthy dose of common sense and situational awareness but I am happy that you view the large number of CCTVs with an open mind and positive attitude. Personally, I think the greatest dangers of living or travelling in China are 1) overspending on the countless variety of foods and getting fat, 2) overspending on the affordable gadgets, goods etc and 3) being hit by one of the large number of extremely quiet electric scooters coming from behind.

[@FrankZhang-pj9nn]

[@蔡終統-b2y]

近期看到這些人根本不懂一句中文就到中國，不禁想起中國人到英語國家時要經歷的那些英語考試。他們可以很自然的認為不會當地的語言也可以隨意去一個地方，也可以很自然的認為別人要到他們的國家當然要會說他們的語言，而大部分中國人也很自然的認為他們到中國來不會中文我們也應該好好對待他們，尤其是聽到他們說幾句中國的好話，真是恨不得對他們掏心掏肺了。雖然把這些“自然”放在一起並不合邏輯，但它們卻和諧地存在著。

[@edstravel]

It sounds funny when Chris says cctv to the driver

[@womendeshijie]

It was just as interesting for us, because the driver spoke a very authentic Beijing dialect

[@sensible202]

Your energy level is on another level in this video.

[@iamsheep]

You don't really need to feel nervous man. Live streaming is very common in China. Your positive energy and smile isn't going to cause any trouble LOL

Love to see your video in China and I will be going to the same places as you did next May, so it's kind of my preparation😂

[@mahbubrahman6429]

Love your uploads bro one my favourite content creator

[@julioduan7130]

27:56 It’s not free for locals. Locals pay the same as foreigners. The only difference is that locals can use ID card to verify their bookings and they don’t need to change to the physical tickets.

[@btopkimo]

Welcome to China, you’ll love it and wish you enjoy your trip in China.

[@Tammywentwalkabout.]

Just a suggestion, if you buy 4 of those beans buns in a box from a start of the video, if you cant eat them, throw away the one you ate and try to find those cleaners in the street, they would love them with a bottle of water. In mainland China we dont throw away foods. You can download a app that will translate your English to Chinese if you speak to locals and you can download a app that show what type of drinks or foods it is by pointing your phone on the picture or menu - Gave fun China, love from Macau, China.

[@DannyChean]

Glad to see the problem with the didi was resolved. The driver was trying to tell you you put in the wrong destination the whole time and because of the language barrier, it didn't come through soon enough :D 21:18 the shopkeeper was saying you needed to put in the password :D Once it's done it's good to go. Dont' worry. It takes a few tries to get it right.

[@Travelwithchris]

Thanks so much! We made it happen though! 💪🏻 he was a great person like everyone else I met there!

[@everettichiwa]

China is one in our bucket list. I can understand the frustration on the language barrier. I was just in Argentina couple of weeks ago and I had a hard time with the language barrier. it was a pretty cool place, our first time in South America but I would of enjoyed it more if they spoke more english. From my understanding, even if they did they don't like to speak it from the history they had with the British. Nice video Chris thank you. I would definitely want to see the Great wall of China and the food China has to offer.

[@lobonegro1567]

How about You learn some of the languages of the country you're visiting...The locals are not obligated to speak English.

[@puffycumulus4636]

The saxophone was playing "Longing for Spring". A song composed by a Taiwanese-Japanese musician. It is used as the official melody of EVA Airways. Surprise to hear this song being played on streets of Beijing.

[@nicholaschan4841]

I hope you go back to China again with Solo as he speaks Chinese and it will be fun with you both together

[@Travelwithchris]

[@words10cubed]

I know I'm late to the party but that first snack you bought says Matcha flavor ... LOL

[@xalch]

I had a great time in Beijing too although I dropped my phone in a Didi car but I still managed to get it back after heading to the nearest police station to track down the car ☺️

[@humblehouse]

You were right in guessing that the elderly taxi driver was trying to tell you that you had incorrectly set your destination during your booking although he understood where you intended to go. I suppose the difference would have affected the eventual fares that you paid or the extra travel time he had to spend ferrying you.

[@patm5594]

It is amazing having no trash around. Chris loves China

Should’ve brought me with you Chris, I can be your translator 😂 I got so worried when you ordered matcha because you’ve said that you cannot do matcha

[@PhilipOberg]

Very interesting - one thing i can notice is it seems there are a lot of electric scooters and cars

[@Travelwithchris]

Yeah! There are a lot of them there!

[@PhilipOberg]

@@Travelwithchris yes as you're walking along the street it's very quiet while all these scooters and cars pass by - very different from India for example lol 😆

[@FrankZhang-pj9nn]

@@PhilipOberg because online shopping, takeaway, APPs are very popular in China. these scoots are used to delivery the food and goods between the store and resident community. in most of big cities in China, once you place order through APP for food. it just take less than 30 mins to get your takeaway and the devliry cost is very cheaper. when people stay at home and enjoy the convenience of the delivery, they can't complain how dangerous of these scooters.

i stayed close the the Huawei location. At night, it lights up and gets wild.

[@LamWu180]

If you see many elder line up for something, that will be yummy food and honest shop.

[@wenzhomg3010]

People visit the Lama Temple to pray for a U.S. visa, partly because it’s located near the U.S. Embassy. It’s widely believed to be effective, and many Chinese forums recommend it as a strategy.

[@grillstravaganza]

You should use Google Translate to help with difficult language barrier situations! You can also use it with your camera to translate signs and menus in your travels!

[@remydk]

Nice video. Makes China look good. I maybe want to go.

[@MrCoquibravo]

US apps work with no issues in China but once you get on the local WiFi that’s when they stop working, enjoy Beijing lots to see there!

[@Travelwithchris]

Yes absolutely! That is what I learned, thanks a lot! I had so much fun!
