Inside CHINA... (Not What You’d Expect) 🇨🇳

What is China really like? In 2023, China reopened and despite being told not to travel here, we travelled to Beijing for the first time. Flying in to China, we did not have many expectations from Beijing, or China more generally, but you hear A LOT about this country in western media. We've travelled to many places that have stereotypes & stigmas attached to them and China is no different, hopefully this video can expel a few of them for you, as it did for us. Welcome to Beijing, the capital of the Peoples Republic of China.

I'm British, living in China for 15 years....absolutely fantastic country, but don't tell anyone, especially the western media. China is an amazing country and the people are beautiful.

I'm a Swede who travelled to China for the first time in 2015. We fell in love with the country and have been back several times.

I absolutely loved China. Such an incredible country and the people, food and culture is stunning.

I lived in China for years and been all over ( including Beijing) and its so refreshing to see you guys explore this wonderful place. Cant wait to see more!

Being to Beijing one time, the impression is “grand”, everything is symmetrical and oversized with extreme luxury yet understated style. China is so beautiful and vast. Good people, amazing food, and safer than my country. I've been there numerous times, but still feel like there is so much more to see and do.All cities are modern.clean and very safety.This the true.True you can not see it in Western media when they speak about china.

The railway network connecting the east and west continents during the founding of the United States in the 17th and 18th centuries was also a credit to Chinese workers at that time, but it was not recognized by the U.S. government. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese laborers died in order to build these railway networks. There are also a large number of mining plants.

So spotlessly clean except leaves. Enjoy your stay in China. You guys are genuinely happy people to visit China.

Love your video's, was in China in 2019 for 5 weeks, backpacker from Beijing to Hong Kong and absolutely loved it. Stay safe and keep your adventures going xxx

"We are all brothers." I love it. Thank you for sharing!

What a fascinating insight into a City and culture I know so little about. We only hear the negatives about China in the UK, it seems our insular view, as usual, is totally misleading.
Best wishes and happy new year.

i have visited Beijing in 2013 and had same reactions to you guys.. we were impressed and surprised by every little thing as everything seems new ad interesting.. love your videos and hope you visit Oman one day

[karinafanatic]

Chinese British here, welcome to China! I’m really glad you guys went to China with such positive vibes and outlooks, China is incredibly vast and definitely needs more than than 144 hours to explore! The food, the culture, the ppl, architectures, technologies etc, hope you all have a fabulous time in China!

3 Minutes to 2024 in France... so interesting to watch your clip on China. See you in Uzbekistan soon! Great video as always. Happy New Year to you and all the viewers! Hugs.

It’s so touching I can watch the video about my city, especially it’s nearby my home when I was a child. Everything is so similar to my memory. I don’t know why but I can feel tears in my eyes.

Can't believe how far Beijing and China has come in reducing air pollution. I've been there twice, once in 1989 and again in 1996 and both times the yellow smog was obvious. Now it's just BLUE SKY!!!! Plan on visiting next year, hopefully!!!

[Thomas-Chin]

Glad to see you guys enjoyed yourselves, and great weather too. I know the feeling when you have heard/learned about a place so many times from the news and finally being there, which is very different. There is a lot to see in Beijing–The Great Wall, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Sanlitun (modern shops), among many other places.😊

[namelesswarrior]

Welcome to China guys! Hopefully, this trip will help you guys see China in a whole different light! Maybe, even in a brighter one! Happy New Year, have fun and stay safe.

Public security and people's livelihood management are also among the best large countries in the world. With a population of 1.5 billion, the crime rate is only 4%, which is even far lower than that of small countries like Japan and South Korea.
