please check out my website middlekingdomrescue.com I will be updating it soon to add a lot more information and stories about my pets and other animals here in the Middle Kingdom.
China is amazing, not gonna lie
The train station would put a lot of international airport to shame. Even the green-skin cars are not run down nor dirty.
I love the way you string together the old and new. I really like your choice of music to match the content.
Thank you very much 👍🙂
The green skin train is still faster than any fastest amtrak
You R a great and respectful person, keep going Man, China is very beautiful, in western europe the situation is getting worse unfortunately 😅
The train station looks much bigger than most airport in usa.. bravo china
Wow,Amazing....I have taken a high-speed train, been to Nanjing for a few days, and eaten roast duck. I have also been to the museum, which displays some collections of China's five thousand years, which is amazing. I also saw other foreigners in the museum. The streets of Nanjing are relatively clean, and the quality of the people is very high. This is completely different from the China reported in the United States. I have been to New York and took the subway, and it is dilapidated. It's hard to imagine that this is the number one power. I feel that China is the number one power. However, many scholars have predicted that China will officially surpass the United States in GDP in 2028 and become the world's number one.
Nanjing museum is one of the three biggest museum in China.
The best way to see the difference is looking to old videos here on TH-cam of STEAM trains in China which were still very much around some twenty years ago.
Nostalgia is looking with colored glasses to the past, things look much better in memory than they really were.
In those old steam train videos you'll see people getting very dirty (black coal), working very hard AND being quite poor, living in very poor housing.
Today the trains are clean, people still work very hard but their houses and other living conditions are much better.
very good china
Yet another great video Adam ! 🤩
It is so interesting to see the vast developments in China. The railway system is amazing. Cheap , efficient , punctual and clean !
Really enjoyed this video Adam. It is very informative.
I love the music too !
Thank you. 🤩👍
Yeah, after many years catching trains back home it’s a nice change to not have replacement buses or trains not turning up 😂
Fun fact: k train is the slowest train now, but actually k is short for kuaiche (快车 fast train)😅. It can go up to 120km/h, witch is indeed very fast like 70 yrs ago. Besides k train, we also have T (tekuai 特快 super fast 140km/h) Z(zhida 直达 direct 160km/h) C(chengji 城际 intercity) D(dongche 动车 Powered 250km/h) and G(gaotie 高铁 high speed 350km/h)
Very interesting thank you 🙂👍
I can't get over how affordable travelling on public transport is! A train ride in the suburbs to the city in Melbourne (25km, > 30mins) costs $10AUD which is 4.5RMB
❤
Smooth camera work, great choice of music, very relaxing, love it!
Nice video Adam, love the music and the trains look great, really cheap and so fast, so much better than what we have in the UK 😎
Cheers. Yeah, travel here is much cheaper for sure.
Awesome video, Adam! It's sort of soothing and meditative yet very informing. Keep them coming!
Hi Val! It was a nice surprise to see your comment. Thank you very much 🙏🏻👍 i do like meditation and a slower more relaxed pace of life and video.
hi adam, i just saw your videos. i found you do have the sense of life and culture, and your channel is very underrated. you deserve more subscribers.
you are doing a great job~ i believe you will be very successful in the future.
Thank you very much
the north railway station is the oldest one in Nanjing, it has stopped to operate for many years. Government started to build a garden aroud it.
I think it will open soon as a tourist destination where people can look inside the old station. They have done a lot of work on the site.
So the high speed train I was on in Shanghai about a decade ago hit 430KPH
This mag train operated in 2003, two decades
You speak Mandarin pretty well. Keep it up. Thanks for the journey.
What China is teaching us!!! or whoever is awake and wide open! INFRASTRUCTURE is KEY and LIFEBLOOD to the basics of a nation! China is doing it, BUILDING / CONSTRUCTING EVERYWHERE!!! Not just inside China! Outside China for other nations in need!!!
Its an obvious lesson here! China is showing you without telling you!!!!
China is building faster than the West can destroy!!!!! We've got the closest we've ever been to world peace now!!!!!!!! And its coming at us in CHINA SPEED!!!!!
Anyone thinking of their future or is at a crossroads? China is at the centre of EVERYTHING!
Old China & the modern China, the station looks so huge , Thank you Adam I do enjoy yr vlog always , 🙏
Thanks Gina 🙂
Great video, thanks mate
I remember the big backlighted signs in Xi’an promoting the hairy crabs. Very colorful. HS rail to and from
Beijing 303kph. AmTrak in the US does about 45 mph between multiple stops and is very outdated. No backlit hairy crab signs in the stations either. 😁😊
Haha, Sounds like great memories! Thanks Kenneth!
China is old and new. Can’t wait for summer to come to visit China again.
Very nice video and fantastic music too. Thanks
Really good video Adam. You are getting really good at editing these videos and capturing the feel of the place. Keep them coming!
Cheers Matt ! Thank you very much 🙂👍
Thanks for sharing.
9:33 not even Berlin Main Station is looking that busy... :)
OMG we live in the same city
Very enjoyable video. Thanks for museum tour of 2:15 - 3:20. Your choice of music is great.
Thank you very much
Adventure Adam is great! 😍🤗
loved your music choice😁
中国which pronunced “Zhong Guo” actually stands for Central Empire, not Middle Kingdom according to it’s Chinese meaning.
it literally translates to middle kingdom. what are you talking about??
Actually, according to historians, the original meaning of 中国 is more like 'capital' the center of the kingdom, and time past, people start to use it to refuer the whole country.
@@KinLee919 Historically, when China consisted of warring states, the term referred to the central states and not to any one state in particular. Makes no sense to use the term guo for the capital, if you ask me.
@@indeficit2 some experts think 国（國 or oracle bone 或）is the original word for 郭 mean walled city，there are a lot if example where 国 has the meaning of capital or city:
国中九经九纬。--《考工记·匠人》。注:“城内也。”
三曰国禁。--《周礼·士师》。注:“城中也。”
在国曰市井之臣。--《孟子》。注:“谓都邑也。”
土国地漕。--《诗·邶风·击鼓》
先王之制，大都不过参国之一，中五之一，小九之一。--《左传·隐公元年》
武夫力而拘诸原，妇人暂而免诸国。--《左传·僖公三十三年》
愿君顾先王之宗庙，姑反国统万人乎!--《战国策·齐策》
登斯楼也，则有去国怀乡，忧馋畏讥，满目萧然，感极而悲者矣。--范仲淹《岳阳楼记》
In Menzi(Mencius) it said: 【孟子】大國，地方百里，次國，地方七十里，小國，地方五十里。(big guo has a radius of hundreds li, medium guo has a radius of 70 li, small guo has a radius of 50 li) the morden 50 li is 25km, a radius of 25km, looks like a city to me.
👍👍👍🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳👏👏👏
As a senior I would to try both types of trains but still prefer the slower train to enjoy slower pace of travelling
Yeah, if you have the time it can be nice to travel slowly
The distance between cities in the east and west of the country is massive though so even on a high speed train it can take 10 hours to cross most of the country
Woah, fairly cheap for business class. Nothing to compare as Australia does not have high speed trains (they have been talking for decades, nothing ever gets done). But, I can tell you, train ticket in Sydney, typically cost about close to $5 one way during peak hour and that is only for short suburban trip
I always liked the idea of crossing the outback by train. I hope one day you get High speed rail.
Like the camera the point then music the ticket prices comparisons so on so on✍️💟💌💚 but I still wondering how the ticket is being purchase and what is it written ....even buy a drink ....food...🤠for people like me who doesn't speak or write Chinese...I'm curious...tq for the wonderful video n hard work.💯🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thanks for your comment 👍 I bought my ticket on trip.com, when you buy the ticket you give your name and passport number so you don’t need a ticket you just need to show your passport. You can also buy a regular ticket at the ticket office. You scan QR codes to buy food, most payments in China are made using apps and QR codes, I find it really fast and easy paying this way but you can also use cash if you want to👍🙂
First.
为你点赞！1st😍
Its look a little bit better than most american big cities's poor areas.
Those old neighbourhood will be soon rebuilt with new building...
@@bearli1298, with what money, didnt ur goverment has send those moneys to ukraine? More printed helichoper dollars?
@@walhdamaskus2408 I am not American.
@@bearli1298 , so, tell me with what money they are going to rebuilt those neightbourhoods?
seriously both of you have your wires crossed!
It is a bargain as compared to where I live 😊
put it into glaring context and comparison..... China went from 0 to world leading in HSR in 10 years!!!!!
alot of us get nothing done in 10 years! Alot of Western nations!!!
Shenzhen went from fishing village to holy heck!!!! Bladerunner cyber cityscape in 40yrs! All of China in fact got a fullscale upgrade in 40 yrs not just Shenzhen!
Shenzhen was the poor looked down upon neighbour of HK! HK was the jewel in the 80s and 90s 2000s
Shenzhen is now hitech whatever you want hitech capital of the universe!
for comparison and context! of the 40 yrs of Shenzhen and role reversal of HK and from "1 Million Bicycles in Beijing!" to now Electronics, HSR and EV capital of the universe!
Beginning of those 40 yrs the UK talked and promised HS2!!!! London to the North or Birmingham or something! the UK is still squawking about it!!!! 40+ yrs later!!! No joke!!!! Richard Branson is now an old man and has been to space and back!!!! HS2 was going to use Virgin leaning trains!!!!!! I was a kid FFS!!!!
China is now leading in battery tech and renewables!!!! All future Sony / Apple products will inevitably heck forget consumer electronics!! We're talking fullscale Jets / passenger planes maybe being powered by electric power!!!! CATL sodium batteries!! BYD!!!!
Sorry the West are corrupt and have been sitting on their arse and i dont know funding Zelensky!!! Now obviously the West want to blow up all of Chinas achievements LOL
HSR in the UK!!!??? is a dream!!!! and funnily enough the UK is now getting China to help out LOL... UK is actually messing about with China on all fronts! and screwing itself! because vassal of the losing US!
yeah looks like i'll have to visit Asia or China to experience "Public Transport"
🤫🤫🤫，don’t tell the western normal people and politicians we just want to be inconspicuous and keep a low profile。develop high technology industry like ev Semiconductor industry and so on ，the UK have nothing left until
Scotland left north Ireland left ，destroy by American capitalist
The west just couldn't accept that rising super power further more it's from the East side...that could do so much in such a break neck speed. Which none of the develope county could do.
我小看你啦。没想到你还会中文！😜
Only very little but I’m learning slowly 👍🙂
前几天看你视频，你好像回去了英国，现在又在中国，这是很久之前录制的视频吗？因为现在进入夏季，天气开始变热，你还穿着长袖
很开心又见到你拍的视频，祝你健康快乐❤
2:43 could you plz explain those signs? Election campaign or something?
The blue stickers? If II am not wrong, its just the names of road or lane.
old railwaystion sign of luggage service office！
记忆中的浦口：Pukou in memory (Pukou is a district of Nanjing）
The blue signs are the names of some historic roads and streets in Pukou District.
岁月的背影：Back of the years

@@chjin1796 Thank you very much and best regards from Germany! :)
👹👹👹thats xinjiang force labor
Didn't know the Xinjiang folks are so abundant (didn't they say there was xxxxcide?) and super productive at work. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
THANKS BROTHER. THIS IS WHAT I AM PREACHING IN AMERICA WE HATE CHANGE
You’re welcome 👍
I can't watch any more of these. I liked the video on the Chinese hospital except for the constant cliched music wash-over and lack of chat. But the lack of chat and constant, more than irritating music on other videos and the often strange pauses with staring at blank walls, stray cats, pavements and old tat just got so incredibly lifeless and boring I gave up.
Cheers for taking the time to share such kind words John. I share my own view and way i experience life here in my videos. I appreciate and share the simple things in life that I find beautiful. I see a lot of life and beauty and love in the objects, beautiful cats and ‘old tat’ that I share. Everyone looks at life through different lenses and I can only share the beauty I see through my own eyes and I try to choose music that brings up emotion or creates a different feeling.
John like many is one who looks and cannot see.
The fast trains are amazing ! ... 😊
