I remember going to the US and was amazed by the scale of it. Then years later I went to China and was gobsmacked by the sheer monstrosity of it on many dimensions. I love China and its amazing culture!

[@2Passports1Dream]

Yup it's bigger than anywhere we've ever been!

[@sarah_HZ_FI]

Your experience of a foggy day at the Great Wall really got me thinking. For a long time, many in the West have viewed China as a mysterious figure lurking behind a fog. But once you step through the fog, you’ll find that there’s no monster-just warm, welcoming people and breathtaking scenery. I hope you have a wonderful time exploring China. I highly recommend visiting Hangzhou, where historic landscape architecture blends beautifully with modern technology. If you're a food lover, Chongqing is a must for its bold and spicy flavors, while Guangzhou offers a variety of healthy, non-spicy dishes.

说的很准确

[@linwoodhucse628]

去过长城许多次。第一次见到雨中游长城的场景

[@2Passports1Dream]

This is very beautifully written! So true!

[@deanzaZZR]

The scale is by design. Imagine a foreign ambassador visiting the Chinese emperor a few centuries ago and how the scale suggests great strength and wealth of the Chinese nation.

[@2Passports1Dream]

So cool!

[@shunhua18]

And imagine this is possibly one of the smallest imperial palaces in Chinese history because historians and archeologists found out many of the previous palaces throughout the history of China were larger and higher, as the traditional wooden structures require very tall trees for the pillars and after thousands years of deforestation, there were not many left and the Emperor Yongle had to send the sourcing teams to risk their lives in the deepest parts of primary forests. Many of the wooden pillars currently in the Forbidden city have been replaced overtime with tree trunks of lower quality.

[@arthurchu4491]

The Tang dynasty DaMing palace in Changan(xian today), which didn't survive from rebellion and fire, was about 4 times of the forbidden city in terms of scale.

[@willsmith39]

Yeah that was definitely the takeaway of these "foreign ambassadors" from the West - China's "strength" . Lucky they were so intimidated or they might have come back, forced you all into opium addiction and burned down the Emperor's most treasured in all of China - The Summer Palace. So yeah - fortunately they really got the message not to mess with China. Not to inflict a 'century of humiliation'. And it's not just The West, the Japanese got the message too and definitely didn't dare to invade, commit a bunch of atrocities and annex Manchuria. I honestly don't understand you Chinese ultranationalist shills, because your revisionist history actually lets the countries who did these acts off the hook by you pretending China was always "powerful" when it clearly wasn't.

如果我告诉你，紫禁城在中国大王朝里面是最小的宫殿，你会更惊讶，汉朝的未央宫、唐朝的大明宫都比他大的多，甚至你现在看到的太和殿，都比明朝建成的时候少了一圈，明朝的时候差不多占满整个围栏，因为清朝的时候大火烧毁后，清朝发现再也找不到这么多巨大的柱子来重建宫殿，所以现在的太和殿只能缩小了整个建筑。越南的顺化皇城是仿照紫禁城建造，规模也不小，现在也保留了下来。

The Palace Museum originally had 9,999 rooms, but the total number of houses in the Palace was reduced as new owners expanded their living space by connecting many small rooms into a larger room, but it still has more than 9,000 rooms today. In any case, only about half of the Forbidden City is open for tourists to visit, the rest is either under maintenance (the Forbidden City is always under repair because it is so large) or used as a place to restore cultural relics and offices.

The Forbidden City was built during the reign of the Yongle emperor of the Ming dynasty. Is the residence of the emperor and the royal household. It's also where the ministers met with the emperor to discuss and report matters of the state. The Forbidden City is essentially a palace. The emperor seldom ventured out of the Forbidden City. Though there are stories about emperor's from the Ming and Qing dynasty going incognito outside of the Forbidden City.

[@zixinM-m2h]

I really enjoy your travel videos. The sense of ease and immersion you showcase while traveling is truly captivating. I've watched some travel bloggers who seem to rush through multiple locations in a day, barely spending any time to truly experience each place. However, your approach is different; you are truly embracing the essence of travel. Even on days when the weather or schedule might not be ideal, you still maintain a positive and optimistic outlook. I admire this attitude of yours. Watching your videos provides a strong sense of immersion, and I eagerly anticipate more of your content.❤

It is how one's body adapts to each beverage. I don't drink much coffee because I believe prolonged periods of drinking coffee affects the heart.

Your videos take me back to when my housemates from the UK visited me in Changsha over a decade ago. They planned to stay just two days because they thought it was a random city, then head off to Shanghai, Beijing, and Xi’an for the rest of their two-week holiday. They’d never been to China before, and what they pictured was straight out of a Kung Fu film-monks flying over walls, people trading food in open markets. They even thought their £50-a-night hotel would be a basic B&B. But when they arrived, they were speechless to find out it was a five-star hotel! They had no idea we had such places in Changsha. They ended up being so curious about everything-the bars, restaurants, KTVs-that they cancelled their other trips and stayed in my city for 13 days. They said it was the best holiday they’d ever had. I really enjoy your videos and wish you all the best for the rest of your trip!
