An interesting point needs clarification:
TIKTOK is fully willing to comply with U.S. law, yet still faces a ban.
GOOGLE, on the other hand, refused to comply with Chinese law and withdrew from China of its own accord.

The China Adventures start here! So looking forward to this series!

I’m sharing your China trip videos with my middle school Chinese classes tomorrow, and the students will enjoy them. Please make sure the language stays clean and that there aren’t any violent scenes so my school will approve them for student viewing. Thanks so much! Your videos are both fun and educational! 👍👍❤❤

I traveled to China two months ago. Although I don't know Chinese, with the help of Immersive Translate, I still feel that China is powerful and prosperous and Chinese people are so enthusiastic.

Hi Karolina and Jay, your shocks have just started. I'm not from China but have traveled to China 5 times (will be sixth in Oct 2024) and everything you guys heard or read from mainstream media back home can be thrown out of windows, whatever they said, just turn them 180 degrees and you'll get the info right. I would rank China the safest country for travelling the last 10 years (at least). When you guys are done with China's cities, go visit the tourist attractions on mountainous landscapes like Zhangjiajie, Jiuzhaigou, Guilin, Yunnan, Dali, Lijiang and so on. You are about to get (Positive) Shocks upon shocks in China and when you say the truth about what you experience in China, be prepared to be accused that you guys are paid by China's government like all the other youtubers have. Just enjoy !!

The people in the restaurant were so nice, im sure this will be a great adventure

The people in the restaurant are so nice and you don't even need to tip them. Enjoy your time in China.

Welcome to my hometown, Beijing.
Don't be surprised, because hospitality is what our ancient Chinese sages have been teaching us for thousands of years, and it has become our daily habit.

I was at China for 1st time early this mth for 10days n i will go back again. Hope u hv a great time in China, and renew your believe about China....❤

[futo]

it's quiet because the sheer amount of EV on the road...if you see green license plate they're EVs...and all scooter are electric...if you see blue license plate it's old school combustion engine

[jaseinclee]

Great vid and you have a whole month in China. Brilliant

[JJr-cevv]

Thanks for sharing such an excellent vlog. Chinese people are incredibly friendly and humble towards visitors, always eager to lend a hand. Unlike the "welcome to come and shop but don't stay" attitude often found in some Western countries, the hospitality in China is genuinely heartfelt. Whether rich or poor, young or elderly, Chinese people truly want you to feel at home. This stems from a deep-rooted cultural value that dates back over 2, 000 years: "宾至如归, " --meaning "guests should feel at home." Their warmth and openness create a unique experience you won’t find anywhere else.

Support from Hong Kong here, we love your video so much! And thx for discover the real China for the worldwide ❤

The hotel is relatively old, but the location is very good. I have been to Beijing many times, and the hotels near Tiananmen Square are very expensive and old. Beijing transportation is very convenient, and you can live a little further away from the city center, which will be much more comfortable.

The growing and development of China in the past 40 years is out of this world.

[mypignest]

The western media paints China according to their interpretation of western democracy and western standards. But if you travel to China, you'll be surprised by how wonderful, beautiful, safe, clean the place is. For those who haven't been to China, I highly recommend that they do so and the trip will open up their minds.

1. Quietness inside the metro is a courtesy, and kinda socially expected; food or open lid drinks are usually not allowed in most Chinese cites’ metro, just FYI.
2. Few years back the gov did a huge push on EVs, and it has been pretty successful. EVs carry green plates, can be very easily identified. All the scooters have been electrics for a long time. That’s why it’s quiet on the streets. I had also noticed this after returning back to China.
3. Spitting is a bad hobbit and we also hate people doing it, but have to deal with that. With better educations, younger people do that much less.
Anyways, hope you guys enjoy China! 🎉

As a Chinese whenever I saw the policeman on the street, I'll feel safe. the policeman in China is quite different with the west country, if you have any question/help, you can always ask them. sometimes when you loose your way, they will send you to the destination by their car.

Oh man. I am so excited to travel China with you! ❤ you both!

[ishabrown]

I've been to China it's amazing and you've chosen the best city, lot of history, character and modern skyscrapers!
