Dr K, what an honor to have you here! Well, that’s what the word going around is… but I haven’t verified it personally. Kinda fun how things related to Nasty Newton and the douchebag brigade keep following us, ‘ay?
Welp unfortunately The don’t touch her guys name, ID number, and home address have been data dumped on X he and that mayor are likely to be related based on all that information.
Away for 12 days without TH-cam…can‘t wait to get back and watch your interesting videos…Missed and appreciate your topics, your style in introducing China , a country of much contraversy, and a place many won’t travel to these days.
From a Dalian native: Actually the best season is from late august to early october,where trees are green and ocean is blue and weather is not so hot. Thanks for your video and hope you can come again some time!
I had always wanted to visit Dalian, and had several people recommend it to me over the years while I lived in China. Thanks for giving me a peek. Related to that Venice style area, outside of Tianjin is Florentia Village in Wuqin, off the high speed rail line. Smaller, similar concept, except it is an outlet mall. Fortunately, it gets a lot of regular traffic and is full of shops. Worth a day trip.
I visit Dalian in 2018, very Nice City, I will visit the City again, maybe already this autumn, its so many places I want to visit in China, but Im already a old man
Mate, I love it.impressive :) You are very brave. Despite all warnings from the medias not to take ‘risk’ coming to China ,China is probably one of the safest place on earth. Over here you will see friendly people, who want to take pictures with you, superb infrastructure, very conveniences to go around from city to city.China's Civic Infrastructures are 100 years ahead of any other country, and the Civic Services are so cheap/free that they do not need much money to live a good comfortable Middle Class life styles. it was NOTHING like what we've been brainwashed to believe in the West.
I've had shrimp chips before. Colorful ones. Tasty. Koreans and Japanese make shrimp chip snacks too. You can find shrimp chips in supermarkets. The fake Venice looks like deja vu all over again. Wasn't it in another video? You should show us what the northeast is like in the summer. Thanks.
Yeah, shrimp chips ain't bad (especially with a cold beer) 🍻. And no, you aren't imagining things - I went ahead and added that Fake Venice in there to make the video a bit more comprehensive. Once summer comes I'll be out and about - loads of adventures coming! :)
Im here now, and it’s hot as hell. I went to BoBos last night (Tuesday) and it’s dead, but it looked nice. I’ll go back on a Friday or Sat night to support. The problem is, there’s a Lawson right next door with 5rmb beer.. However (!) I have found a great bar called “Keep Summer” which actually has atmosphere, music, and some people - and the beer is cheap. It’s on the beach at Laohutan (one bay east of Fisherman’s Wharf). Enjoy.
Thanks. Yeah, I watched the Venice area being built years ago . I wondered then whether it would fill up, and I’m still wondering. It reminds me of that Movie Inception whenever I’m there. Great video on the ‘third Korea’. I just got back from Dandong - the Great Wall section there is amazing and empty - but don’t tell anyone! Keep the north east China films coming. They are really good.
@@chopsticksandtrains I had to show my passport to get the train ticket (like any China train tickets), but that was it. Another good Dalian thing to do is get the ferry to Changhai County (load of small islands off the coast). Get a taxi to Pikou Port, then a ferry to the islands (ferries are about ever 30mins) - recommend starting with Dachanstan island. The islands are great, empty and wild, tons of beaches to yourself - strongly recommend for the adventurous (good day adventure). Again you need to show your passport to get on the ferry. Cheers
This place needs some saunas, hot springs or swimming pools for the cold winters and indoor waterslides, casinos with indoor gondolas like in Macau and enclosed malls.
That's just it, it does. He just didn't go there. Olympia 66 mall is stunning I use to practically live there as our condo was one street over. Also he went through the main underground shopping area when he was walking under ground past the food stalls where all the people where. That place has several levels underground. Dalian has some very fancy saunas with movies videos games heated pools, food. I do agree they should legalize gambling in resorts in all of Dongbei (Northeast China) to diversify the economy but Macau is the only place it's legal to gamble in China right now. I also wished they had a indoor ski center like the one in Harbin, but there are quite a few local ski areas so I guess the need isn't there. But the biggest thing in Dongbei in winter is you can afford it you go to Hainan and visit Sanya or Flower Island or somewhere to escape the cold 🥶
@@millennialx9044 In Ottawa, Canada, the Rideau Canal is frozen solid and they turn it into a skating rink in winter. Maybe Dalian's fake Venice could turn its canal into a sking rink and have skating rink races. Have ice hockey tournements build up an ice hockey culture and compete with Russian teams. China needs to develop sports for its internal economy.
@@millennialx9044 Why not build near the fake Venice, a fake Rome with Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, a Colesseum Library like in Vancouver, Canada (Library in the shape of the Colosseum), the Pantheon or Villa Borghese (a park) with pizza joints and Opera House holding free opera or have visiting Italian and International opera singers singing real opera.
@@chintham2861 @chintham2861 I know they close the canal in winter for cleaning and maintenance. I'm pretty sure the pipeworks that run under the buildings would burst from freezing if they froze the canal in winter, it's nothing for the winters to stay below freezing and even have sub zero temperatures in winter. If there were underground areas providing buffering warm zones I guess it would be feasible. There are already 3 ice skating rinks in the city I know of, the area is pretty much closed for winter other than hardcore stall owners. They tried to push ice hockey as a big sport couple years back but other than mostly a couple Russian bordering provinces the kids weren't interested but speed skating and Ice skating are really popular and now skiing because of Elaine Gu and snowboarding. The thing is if your kid isn't a genius at the sport it's too expensive for average working class families, the talented kids get scouted to go to the national training centers and special schools. There are quite a a few local sports leagues and provincial leagues, but the national Leagues are the beat all end all.
@@chintham2861 The original design was larger, it was supposed to cover the entire Donggeng seaside strip, but it had to be scaled back because of costs, several big tenants pulled out like the school that was supposed to take up a lot of buildings, and a friend said also because it's built on reclaimed land so they had to take the weight of that much concrete into consideration. The used most of the original land to build a mini city of high end apartment and commercial spaces blocks, down the street from Venice on Gangpu Rd there is a huge futuristic convention center that hosts the major events.
Would I be wrong in guessing that you've had many a night in there? My buddy told me that back in the day it was the place to be.. Compared to how he described it though, seems like they've upgraded?
@@chopsticksandtrainsI'd been a regular patron in Bobo's Bar. Not sure if it is the same as the one in the video. But mine is in Yan'An Lu. If it is, it sure has changed a lot.
I would be interested to know how locals comment regarding 薄熙来，their former celebrity mayor, and how beingrussian and japanese colony shape the city today.
About the unfinished construction it is normal if you buy a new condo or space in china from a Developer you buy a concrete box, you have to hire an interior decoration firm to finish the apartment or commercial space, it makes sense not to waste resources. Those empty buildings are usually decorated as needed and broken down but used in good weather for events like weddings parties pop up seasonal restaurants and shops etc you could have just asked one of the few people. Also middle of the day, Chinese people are at work or school, older people aren't going to be out enmasse in that cold weather for no reason. That boradwalk in Donggeng is effing packed wall to wall during warm weather especially summer. Dalian is a Summer Resort city, so if you want to see people come back in Summer with the crowds lol
This was a far cry from 'being out en masse'... this was completely deserted. Looks pretty ghost town-ish to me. Most of those 'mansions' were empty - and there were A LOT. But yeah, I'll be back again when the weather's nice. "...not to waste resources..." You serious right now? 🤦♂
@@chopsticksandtrains I literally said old people aren't which is a contraction for "are not" going to be out in enmasse in the cold weather. Those "Mansions" are commercial spaces in tourist attraction. It's off season why would the place be packed with vendors when there are no tourists and there was supposed to be a school on the Venice campus but the deal fell through when the government overhauled the school system a couple years ago. I'm just saying research and perspective are everything. With just one, one-off visit you made all these generalized assumptions based on how things work where you are from. China works very differently than western countries and even a lot of east Asian countries and to do this sort cheap reporting for clicks and views to play into this very gross western anti China narrative is foul. Japan has millions of empty homes and literal ghost towns and people aren't combing the streets of Northern cities like Aomori in the dead of winter looking crowds of people, why because Japan is an ally of the west. Gunkaijima Island, Tochigi prefecture towns, Nara, Nichitsu... I could write a book because there are so many places in Japan that were actually built lived in and abandoned by people because of the downturn in the economy there. It can and does happen every where. I'm just saying be fair and objective unless it's just for views then nevermind.
I am being objective and fair. We'll visit again in summer and see if these 'shell mansions' have anything going on inside. There will be more people there, that's for sure, and the vendors will be there, but I'm predicting a lot of those buildings will still be completely empty/half-finished/gutted/etc. Stay tuned... @@millennialx9044

That really is true! I remember when I first came to China and I couldn't even read a single character... dining out was a challenge. Learning how to read the characters opens up a whole new world. Thanks for watching! 祝您度过美好的一天！
Haha.. I do have a funny ear story about China.. got an ear infection a few years back. In China they couldn't figure out what was wrong. When I went back to the US the ENT doctor called his assistant in after viewing the inside of my ear. They told me they'd never seen anything like it and it looked like cobwebs. They gave me some meds though and got it cleared up within days.
btw kfc in which country you think is the best, US, UK or china? Itwo of my american (uyghur and han) friends and myself think uk is the best, chinese kfc use to be good, nowadays it tastes like mummy🤣
Chinese KFC is definitely far inferior to US KFC (which I'm still not a big fan of). Never had UK KFC.. I will say though, last time I was in the US and I went to KFC, just out of curiosity - to see how the menu was different to China's (even though I'm from the US, I just literally NEVER ate KFC, unless my Grandma ordered it).. well, the KFC I went really shocked me. Huge menu, like 20 different dipping sauces, etc. It was pretty freakin' good, tbh..
Seems like a VERY low number of people walking around, compared to years ago. Think the economic downturn has anything to do with it? I'm so jealous of you by the way.
@@chopsticksandtrains We used to live in Dalian and it gets cold AF in winter only tourist who can't afford peak season travel bother coming there in winter and the city has a big underground mall that he passed through but it's really dead now because Chinese new years celebration has just ended so it's back to work time
Is it true that Nasty Newton’s dad is the current mayor of Dalian?
Dr K, what an honor to have you here!
Well, that’s what the word going around is… but I haven’t verified it personally. Kinda fun how things related to Nasty Newton and the douchebag brigade keep following us, ‘ay?
Bo Xilai was mayor back in the late 90ies early 2000. His son, last I heard was in Canada. I am a friend of Lewis of Free China.
Good lord its Dr K !! I’m obsessed 🤩
Welp unfortunately The don’t touch her guys name, ID number, and home address have been data dumped on X he and that mayor are likely to be related based on all that information.
