First Impressions of Asia's FRIENDLIEST City 🇨🇳 (Shanghai, China)

Exploring Shanghai China.

Watch as Jack and Paige take on China's Megacity of Shanghai, accompanied by our good friend Maxwell Carver! We start the morning in Fuxing Park, getting to know a couple Uncles before being taught to dance the Guang Chang Wu. After dancing in the park, we walk through the streets of Shanghai, the French Concession area before heading to Xintiandi where the first meeting of the CCP was held. After this, we head to Huaihai Bird Park where we get to know more about the bird scene and meet some craftsman and bird owners. After this, we are straight to the People's Park for the infamous Shanghai marriage market. We meet a man trying to learn Portuguese before trying to find Paige a new husband. We bargain with a marriage agent but inevitably Paige's demands are too high. We find some other buyers who want to offer Paige a new life in China, but we are swept away by our Portuguese learning man to sing Italian songs with him in the park. Not for long though before he wants to draw us a lovely portrait. After a busy day in Shanghai, we head over for lunch at a local spot and try Shanghai's most famous food, the soup dumpling or Xiaolongbao! We have a lovely lunch full of many Shanghai delicacies before we explore more of Shanghai.

I'll say it again, there isn't anyone posting better China content than you two 🇨🇳

This is a proper travel video people.

When I first visited China, I was absolutely pleasantly surprised as well. It was NOTHING like USA and the West told us back home. Alternatively, when I first visited USA I was also shockingly surprised as well. Again it was NOTHING like USA and the West told us back home.
China was modern, futuristic, generally people were fit, they had the most AMAZING Civic Infrastructures and most affordable Civic Services throughout the Country,
USA was modern, but only in places where Billionaires lived (LA, NYC, LV) ... and only within the suburbs of the places where Billionaires lived. But for most of the country the Civic Infrastructures needed serious maintenance or replacements/constructions, and the Civic Services were NOT affordable to millions of USA Citizens. I could not believe that the richest Country in the world have 70 Million (out of 340 Million) living in poverty. And the stupid Gun Laws in USA where they allow 40, 000 Gun related deaths every year, mainly amongst the poor, so that the Corporates can make billions in profit every years, and it is also a means of culling their poor population, saving paying out government social security financial support.
China had a Government that totally focused on the needs of EVERY ONE of their citizens (1.5 Billion people).
USA had a Government that heavily focused on the interests of CORPORATIONS regardless they have 70 Million, out of 340 Million, living poverty (and the numbers are growing daily).

A little knowledge about bird raising: bird raising was once a hobby of the Chinese nobleman, so the bird cages they used were also very particular, and an expensive bird cage could cost up to 100, 000 or 200, 000 RMB.

Come here from Bilibili to support💚. I feel that Jack has a great talent for language. Both Jack and Paige are very friendly and willing to experience the unique local culture.
There is an old saying in China:It is such a delight to have friends coming from afar.😀

[shannonluciano]

I lived in Shanghai you showed parts of why it's arguably one of the best cities of the world so much going on everywhere

[ericliume]

Absolutely love this video. There are no two countries are the same. The essence of traveling is to interact with the local and get to know their culture. It is the only way to eliminate the barriers and misunderstandings. You two are open minded, willing to communicate and interactive.

[bmk]

I love the interactions with the Chinese people, they're my favourite parts :) Thank you!

[thebuddhaheartsutra]

Just stumbled upon this. What a delightful vlog. So full of good humour and positive vibes. Jack, Paige and Maxwell are the sort of people every country should roll out their red carpet for. Thumbs up!!

Hahaha, the sketch work that Grandpa drew for you three made me laugh uncontrollably.

You are the travel couple who are most good at integrating into local life. The trip to Shanghai made you look very relaxed. After the video of you taking the train to Xinjiang, you got another name, the Iron Hip Couple in the Chinese media.

Bro, I really like your video. Your videos observe various countries from the perspective of ordinary people, which is very down-to-earth. I saw you drinking with oldman in Beijing and eating noodles on the streets of Urumqi, which made me feel great! I found out that you are a football fan, If you have the opportunity to travel to Beijing next time, I suggest you watch a Beijing Guoan's game. The Workers' Stadium in Beijing is one of the best football stadiums in Asia, and the fans in Beijing are as passionate as those in the UK! Enjoy your trip and have fun!

[vslfgtk]

Your interaction is so joyful. Chinese parks are oases in cities where everyone can enjoy happiness. A peaceful and safe environment is amazing!

[linus]
