Xiaobei - the 'Little Africa' of China 🇨🇳

Guangzhou City is one of the largest cities in China. It's a city full of energy and life! Everywhere you look you can see the hustle and bustle of daily life in the southern megacity!
There is one part of Guangzhou that is especially unique however - and I went there to explore! Who would have known that I'd find an AFRICAN VILLAGE right in the heart of Guangzhou City?!

Nice video bro 😎 I miss this city

[@chopsticksandtrains]

Thanks! Same here, Guangzhou is an amazing place!

[@burningknuckle26]

damn the food looks so good

[@sylph99]

Could you make a series of videos interviewing these people from different countries, to tell their stories?

[@DucaTech]

Those mutton buns are Uyghur Xinjiang food. Though many Hui Muslims in China also make them too.

[@chopsticksandtrains]

Yes - they were quite tasty and I had a nice conversation with the lady from Xinjiang. Also met a few men from Xinjiang there.

[@joshjohnson122]

Hello sir, I like your videos and narration. You said at the end you interacted with some people, why not include that in the video as well? It's very interesting to hear the local peoples thoughts too!

[@chopsticksandtrains]

I'll try to include more locals in future videos. People don't generally feel comfortable with a camera up in their face... so I'm just trying to be as polite as I can to the locals. Thanks for watching the vids though and glad to have you here!

[@jplin888]

This place in Xiao Bei is known as “Little Africa” very interesting place to visit. I am from Macau, and I often drive there for African food whenever I am in Guangzhou.

good job showing diverse areas in china and the harmony that is present there. minority neighborhoods in the US would be rife with poverty and conflict between minority groups.

[@chopsticksandtrains]

Actually, minority areas in China have their own set of problems. Different problems than the US, but still have their own very serious problems. Do a quick Google search - you'll learn a lot.

[@choifayue9848]

@@chopsticksandtrains may I ask how long have you been living in China? is google trust worthy along with tube and the west heavily sanctioning lately ? I'd say propaganda at its best, the basic main problem was a few yrs back some visa expired African keep living there causing a conflict of housing infraction situation, and the west spinned it out of proportion. Please travel more in China, like Xinjiang, consisting Uygur(~40%), Han, Kazak, Hui, Mongolian, Kirgiz, Tajik, Xibe, Ozbek... and even Russian to open up your horizen then you might feel a lot more distinctly no malice intended Happy New Year PEACE

@@chopsticksandtrains It's sad that even though you live in China, you still rely on Western fabricated fake news as your source of information. You should go around and look around everywhere and then use your own brain and think more on your own instead of being fed fake news like a poor duck.

I am Taiwanese, currently on winter break in Shenyang, Dongbei, btw. Speaking of the Xiaobei area in Guangzhou, there is also an area with the same name in Shenyang, where people fix phones and laptops. It's located just a few kilometers from the railway station, and, well, people in that area do sell fake iPhone replicas. You know, I felt shocked when I first got there, and I was wondering why China has so many fake stuff. How about the Xiaobei area in Guangzhou? Does the same thing happen there?😅😅

[@littlefishking]

Taiwan province, a scam Island of China.

[@aldenteh9412]

There's a thing called self-produced brands that has not reach the fame of any other brands. Even in Taiwan they sell fake stuffs and scam customers occasionally. Every country has this issue, but there is a reason on why China is creating local brands, many countries used to have control over China in terms of trade, when the country sees China's growth and increasing prosperity, they tend to stop trade for not only one, but the entire category in hopes to make China fall back down to ground zero or even suffer bankruptcy. But the Chinese are smart, they don't give up, they see this as motivation to oush forward, hence why they no longer rely on the US in terms of microchips. They can buy a port in the brink of bankruptcy and a high chance of cauwing the chinese to lose millions of dollars. But they managed to save the port in just 2 years, the Greek port that has been saved by china. Now Greece and China have incredibly close relations. 1/3 of China's productions are from US companies, 1/3 of the production are from Europe, 1/3 is locally produced. The things you talk about "Made in China" is actually made there and paid by mega companies from the west, it is the west trying to scam the people. In China, all products are incredibly durable as the best quality are saved for themselves. What I'm trying to point out is that many countries produce just as many fake stuff than China. And you can't blame the country and the people for working in western factories that stationed in China, not only fooling the people internationally, but also cause pollution in Chinese territory. Speaking of Taiwan, I went for a vacation there last year, I went to an outlet mall and wonder why are there barely any English speakers, I try to ask the information counter on where the Theme park is, which I already know where it is. I spoke in English, yet none understand me, so they called more and more employees to help, until they reached 9, discussing on what I'm talking about. Some of them even said that I looked like Han Chinese, why can't I speak Chinese, maybe an Asian born from a different nation like the west? Until I use hand gestures to show what I'm looking for, then they understood. I laughed real hard and told them that I can understand what they are saying all this time, I'm just having fun. I am a Malaysian Baba, I can speak Mandarin, Malay and English language, I can also speak Cantonese, Baba Malay and Penang Hokkien dialect. I can also speak Min Nan dialect which is the most commonly spoken dialect in Taiwan. During my entire trip, not a single soul spoke English.

[@dugang139]

In fact, Taiwan is known as the island of fraud, and Asian scams all originated in Taiwan, and the Taiwanese government also provides protection for this. After the fraudsters caught in Chinese mainland were repatriated to Taiwan, local officials personally went to receive them, entertained them for dinner, and then acquitted them.

[@seafood_hater]

As a Taiwanese, I'm surprised that you didn't know about the origin of these so-called fake stuffs. 😂😂

I bet the crime rate has gone up exponentially.

[@D.Antony]

No, actually since the Portuguese left Macao in 1978 and the imperialistic, colonizing British were kicked out of Hong Kong and southern China in 1997, the crime right has gone down exponentially. And since China never really developed social relations with racist America scum, Guangzhou has been quite harmonious, as exemplified by this video.

It is multicultural city like this in China that make China a better country. Hong Kong used to be amazing because it was multicultural. As much as I'm proud to be Chinese, erasing cantonese through education system in Hong Kong isn't the way to make China nor Hong Kong better. Cities like this make China better.

A soft S. If the S was silent, then it would be pronounced MULIM.
