About that potato dish, they washed out most of starch of potatoes then fried it, that's why it's so crunchy 😂 It's a famous local dish. And normally we order fried dishes and steamed rice together, so it can balance the salty taste. And for $68 dish, it should be that size tho😂 take away box usually free as well.
Love you guys. No alipay, no WeChat pay, no didi, staying at a hotel in suburban, no idea what food to order, it’s a REAL adventure I am looking forward to unlike any other well planned travellers to China! Kudos to you guys and keep us updated!
There are pluses and minuses when you go with a plan and no plan
I have done both when going to a be a tourist in another Country
A lot of it depends on what type of traveller you are
research is better
China may not be a perfect place for no plan trip. especially if you are not well familliar with it's culture, you might be in greate culture shock. then maybe quite big wallet hurt. 🤣
It’s very hard to have an enjoyable trip with no planning and researching about China.
If you call constant confusion adventure lol. Appreciation of anything requires knowledge and with the ease of acquiring knowledge about any place these days I'd say winging it looks more reckless than brave.
The local people are very friendly. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. They will help you enthusiastically.
你俩真厉害，什么攻略都不做就敢去异国他乡，佩服你俩的勇气

As long as you come to China, you will reap countless surprises.
China is super convenient once you have installed the right Apps on your mobile phone. Apparently, you hadn't done any homework before going to China, therefore, you were bound to have some initial difficulties/misjudgements. But you are going to be OK anyway.
Thankyou :) 🙌🏼
In China, I haven’t used my wallet or keys in years! It’s all on your phone!
It is not so easy as a tourist because every app they would normally use to find their way is banned in China. If foreigners don't have a VPN it is very difficult. They usually can't even get their email.
Anything to do with the Internet in China is a nightmare as a foreigner.
@@aiwogod4799 Most people still carry at least a bit of cash with them because the technology does occasionally fail. My partner keeps a hundred yuan note inside her phone case for such eventualities.
Once when I went into a McDonalds the Internet had gone down and they were only accepting cash. There were people milling around everywhere wondering what to do.
It was no problem for me though. I always carry cash with me and because I am a foreigner carry about a thousand yuan in cash with me at all times.
People claim all this stuff is really convenient but its not really true. Most houses and cars and e-bikes require keys so most people can't go out without them. It is the same with a wallet. A lot of things require ID in China so you have to carry that everywhere, then there is stuff like bank cards, cards to get into the community, etc.
The cashless stuff is really overrated. You have to get our your phone, type in your password, open the right app, go to the dropdown in WeChat to get scanned, or scan the store, then you have to type in the password for the payment and wait until its processed. If you have a VPN on sometimes the transaction is blocked, then you have to go to the VPN turn it off, go back into WeChat and repeat. Pulling out your wallet and slipping a couple of notes out just isn't that hard. Of course, being cashless also means that you can be profiled based on your transactions, if you care about that stuff.
@@96518 you can have most apps with a forerign sim card
Okay, FYI, before going to China, the to-do list is as follows: 1) set up your VPN, eSIM, and Alipay. 2) An offline translator in case your Google translator doesn't have a connection. Plan B for 2) Learn Mandarin; one sentence is a must: "Where is the restroom?" trust me, sign language would not work for this question. I knew a woman who tried and failed; people thought she was losing her mind.
My words and thoughts exactly.
you just show a bathroom photo to anyone in the street and they will know you want to go to the bathroom
In China you can tell young people where the WC is, WC means toilet, have a nice trip in China.
笑死，在中国随便一家门店，你走进去说借个厕所用用都可以。没来过的人也好意思评价？
@@user-jc4cw1mv8w 不是哥们，直接国语，我连谷歌翻译都不用了捏
Wow, you guys just managed to sort everything out after got off the train. Amazing. Good luck!
1. In any restaurant say " bu yao la jiao" ( don't add chili ) when ordering, just to make sure.
2. Ask for or order a bowl of rice. Chinese dished are by and large designed to go with rice.
Thanks for letting us know ☺️🙌🏼

it's sosososo funny to watch your China adventure video😂😂😂
Chicken, potato, and then chicken and potato. You guys are definitely the connoisseurs in blind ordering.
I am dead, so funny. 😂 Oh dear you ordered Da Pan Ji (大盘鸡）（Big Plate Chicken) although it looked very big I think it is a portion for one. This is a famous dish, I would finish it by myself. The Chinese in China eat a lot, btw.
The food you have in UK are mostly Cantonese, but this restaurant is from North/Western of China.
Welcome to China - happy exploring.
你一个人能吃完那个大盘鸡？？我觉得配上米饭够四个人吃了😂
Chinese in 全世界都eat很多😂😂😂不止China
Absolutely amazing vlog as always. God I love you both. Literally get excited to see the next vlog. You are both so natural, kind and wonderful to watch and listen to. Can’t wait till the next vlog. Keep them coming guys 😊
There are so many british tourists visited China like you and documented their experrience in TH-cam could be really helpful to your trip. Hope you enjoy your trip there.
There are 56 ethnic groups in China, and each has its own traditional food. Among them, the Han people generally divide their food into eight major cuisines, each of which has a different flavor and ingredient combination, Sichuan and Hunan cuisine are mainly spicy, the other eight cuisines are not spicy, even southern Jiangsu and Shanghai people like to eat sweet. Your order is Xinjiang food and Sichuan food, more spicy, in addition, can not finish the boss free packing away.😂
Thanks so much for letting us know ☺️🇨🇳
@@dunneytravels if you travel towards south of China to cities like Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Macau and Hong Kong, you will get your authentic Cantonese cuisine like char siu, sweet and sour pork etc. A lot of the Chinese cuisine in the US and UK are Cantonese but heavily altered to suit the Western palate. The more authentic Cantonese cuisine are found south of China like I mentioned earlier and in other South East Asian countries where the large Chinese diaspora reside even including countries like Australia

thats true exploration.... keep it up
Hey friend, you should order a portion of rice. Most Chinese dishes are paired with rice. If you only eat the dishes, the flavor might be a bit strong.😄
Thanks for letting us know ❤️☺️🇨🇳

Welcome all the friendly foreign friends to set aside all the prejudices brought to you by the media and visit my hometown Beijing.
Thankyou so much ☺️❤️🇨🇳 happy to be here
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt Don't be deceived by media distortions. The Chinese were filming a television program that had not yet been broadcast publicly, and the piano player insisted on filming and broadcasting the undisclosed content of the program against the advice of kindness and patience. He also deliberately pretended not to understand the English spoken by these Chinese and deliberately pretended to be assaulted. The piano player is as shameful as the media who deliberately smear China!
We Chinese have long been accustomed to this kind of intentional distortion and discrediting by the Western mainstream media.

@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt I got back to you about what happened, but TH-cam took it down.
To put it simply, this is another typical incident that deliberately distorts and smears China.
You guys are so adventurous❤
I can't stop laughing when I saw the second chicken dish..... you proved you really didn't know what you had ordered, but I guess this could become part of good memories in future, we all need something fun to remember, don't we? :)
Hahaha yes exactly that!! Our stomachs dropped when the second chicken dish came out but it was a good laugh and makes for some fond memories 😂

In the centre part of Beijing, like in the 2nd and 3rd Ring part, some restaurants are more foreigner-friendly, some may have English menus or waiters understands English.
It’s more at salty side because it needs to be matched with plain rice to balance the flavor! Good luck! Myself can’t even eat that much food. Just take it easy! Enjoy and you will figure it out. matching meaty food with some greens.😊
good job getting a payment app up and running. once you done that, everything else is easy. there's actually translate apps built into those. when you scan the qr code at restaurant tables, the menu loads up and for the payment app you installed, there's a translate option. in most cases, portions in china are pretty big so for 2 people, 2 dishes with some rice on the side should be enough. if you still hungry, plenty of street food snacks to try out lol.
google pulled out of china about 15 years ago because it didn't want to put any filters on its products. certain content is banned in china such as adult and violent content, among other things. that's why all of google's subsidiaries don't work in china. apple and microsoft(bing you mentioned) decided to abide by china's laws so you can use their stuff without the need of a vpn.

people, just ignore this idiot hate spammer. he goes on every chinese related video and spams the same crap on every comment. I mean seriously, who else would do that.
Welcome to China, I wish you a pleasant journey😊
Your videos make me want to visit China too! By the way, Immersive Translate could be a great addition to your travel toolkit, especially for translating menus and signs quickly.
Enjoy your trip and the food there. The Chinese cuisine is truly rich and diverse. There are a number of distinctive styles from different regions that contribute to the whole of Chinese cuisine, and of these there are eight major/specific culinary traditions (regional cuisines).
You’re not prepared, this is a total adventure
I've seen quite a few china Western traveller videos in recent months.
So it's very interesting to see Each perspective
China as a travel destination is definitely becoming more popular ☺️

Thankyou :) 🙌🏼❤️🇨🇳
I admire your courage. The Chinese travel environment poses many challenges to foreign tourists. For example, payment methods, commonly used cell phone software, language environment. All these need our continuous improvement. welcome you to travel to China more often and give suggestions for improvement.

OMG, the golden moment is 23:00. This is the true meaning of travel. BTW, I love that dish very much. 😊
Welcome to China. China has many cuisines, some of which are not spicy. You can bind your Alipay international credit card or bank card to scan the code to pay and take the subway directly. Many attractions in Beijing require advance reservations.
Hope you have good time in China
Thank you
你们从首都机场入境，却住在了大兴区，这个位于南五环到南六环之间的城区，距离市中心和各种著名景点实在是太远了。北京市的重心更偏北边和东边，南边和西边往往发展更缓慢一些。
可能以为是小国家
We will know better for next time 🙌🏼😂☺️🇨🇳

@@dunneytravelsBeijing is very big - DaXin airport is 64km away from Beijing city center- to compare it is akin you guys live in Reading but visiting central London. But there should be high speed railway to connect.
You guys are brave and you will find your way out in Beijing for sure, have a pleasant visit of Beijing! Would be helpful to join a sort of online groups of travelers and ask for help anytime needed.
Thanks so much ☺️🇨🇳

@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt Anyone who has seen the video can see the problem: the Chinese male tourist was emotionally unstable. The British pianist took advantage of this and deliberately provoked others to gain more traffic because he was live streaming.
By the way, most of the smart phone users in China, do have their translation app. installed, all you need to do, when needed, ask someone with a smart phone with him/her.
Welcome to Beijing. A reminder that many scenic spots in Beijing require reservations❤
For Google translate, you can download the language first before arriving China then you can use it offline.
Nothing goes wrong. As the first-time-comers to an unfamiliar country, you will naturally have some hassles and problems, particularly when you do not prepare enough in advance. Beth is beautiful. Have a wonderful trip to China.
“I think we may be in a hotpot shop” lol 🤣🤣🤣
三道菜是辣子鸡，炒土豆丝，大盘鸡。你们需要点白米饭搭配吃，单吃菜太油太咸了。大盘鸡吃完里面有汤，你也可以问商家要面（一般是免费的）
点多了，还可以打包回去！

Eating Chinese food should be accompanied by rice.
Next time 😂❤️

Love your videos China looks great. How about a "How to China travel" video? Like what APP to use, things you learn would make China travel easier! It'll be popular & help lots of people!❤😊
Amazing 😂Beautiful ❤
The dish is called 土豆丝 tudousi which literally means thin pieces (the character is also used to describe wire) of potato. It is a very common, particularly in the north of China. It is not a hotpot restaurant.

I like this adventure style travel. First order is chicken, second order is potatoes, third order is chicken and potatoes. 😂😂😂
Didi captures audio and video so that if there is any argument between drivers and passengers, there is evidence, protection for both sides.
Thankyou ☺️🇨🇳
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt There are multiple videos about that you can search online, I won't waste my time here discussing with you about it, and btw, those are not Chinese tourists, they are British citizens and they made it clear in that live stream in case you just watched the pianist version of it. Also, you might wanna konw the London police later came out saying that "beloved pianist" got some pretty records of making a scene at that station.
Is there an equivalent samples? Haha, we got tons of it, and not just British but also many white-man-burden believers from some other western countries, here in China talking racism while making money from the Chinese, is this kind of behavior rude and entitled? I don't know, I leave you to decide.

Hi there, your clips made me laugh 😂 I am planning to visit China soon and I don’t speak any Chinese😢
cockroach farms are everywhere in china. in fact just one cockroach farm raised 6 billion cockroaches in a year. there are 1000s of cockroach farms in china. they are eaten as food and used as protein and added into foods. welvome to china. enjoy our high quality natural foods.
We’re you able to get 144 hour Visa upon arrival or did you need to apply ahead of time?
Such a challenging adventure.
welcome！
Try traveling to Raja Ampat, Papua, Indonesia, you won't believe its beauty, it's truly a traveler's paradise.
In the middle and north of china， chilli are used very frequently， different degree，Beijing is like 2 or 3 of 10，be careful even in McDonalds here😂
Daxing county? Ah , this is area where I lived 14 years . Place named Yizhoang , just outside 5th ring express road. I have beautiful memories.
LOL...When I saw you guys going into that restaurant, I was thinking oh no, wrong choice if you guys dont really take spicy food...😅 BTW, I love all those 3 dishes when I was in China...3 of my favorites.
This is a suburb of Beijing. It is too far from the city center. Living in the city center is much more convenient for visiting various attractions.
Next time we will stay closer 😂☺️

Next time remember to order noodle and put the noodle into the soup of your third dish -- Da Pan Ji (big plate chicken 大盘鸡), which is the common way that Chinese people eat it.
😮😮
21:25 We used to tell the restaurant not to put chili, not too many oil before place the order.😮
If you have a lot of food left over, you can ask the waiter to pack it up for you. That's totally fine!

you may need a local guide. best one is a foreigner who lived in there for years and provide travel guide service.
This is the problem with short term visas - You will get loads of people who arrive in China unprepared, and then moan because everything is not the same as in their own country - People who really want to experience China will have done their homework and made sure they have all the apps and maps etc that they need and they would have learnt the very basics of the language
I missed the part where we moaned?
@@dunneytravels maybe watch the video back and you see once you touch down in China you are complaining because China has not got everything for you, like google maps or the menu outside the restaurant you can’t understand or because you have not linked your card to Alipay, you might not even realise you are doing it, but it’s tourists who should be adapting to really engulf themselves in the culture
Hello guys, would you pls share the secrets of how to set your captions to include Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional subtitles?
@dunneytravels As an old Beijing native, I am in Beijing. Don't miss Niujie snacks. Which is the largest Muslim residential area in Beijing? There are many century-old Muslim restaurants and snacks and hot pot. You must go to eat them. As for the scenic spots, you should know where to go. Everyone knows it. Have a good time in Beijing.

Hi guys ❤
Hey 🙌🏼☺️❤️
U guys are sooooo cute ❤
很多好吃的食物。
Checking in to see what could go WRONG? :D, Enjoy China!
The big dish is big dish chicken, a xinjiang traditional food
Btw welcome to China (though I’m studying in US rn😂). There are many good dishes in China that are not spicy. Maybe can try do some research before going~
Maybe use a translation app for menus ...just not google cos it usually doesnt work in prc.
Welcome 😊 relax and be healthy always. 🙏
Thankyou 🙌🏼☺️🇨🇳
@SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt hi mate, you're lying.

欢迎！
There are so many unreasonable comments here that actually do not have to do with your videos. I just hope you guys are having fun and great days there!:)
Most Chinese food should be served with either rice, noodles (glass noodles, rice noodles, or normal noodles), bread or bun (bao zi/man tou). If none of them was given, you should order some. Anyway, have fun in Beijing. I hope you guys will visit Tibet and Xinjiang someday. 😊
Why don't you guys use a VPN or esim in China?
welcome to China
Thankyou 🙌🏼☺️🇨🇳
For top comments: In China we eat it with“主食”， basically like bread, rice… source of carbs.
You guys remind me of my parents first time went to UK almost not knowing any English😂. They told me they ordered some weird beans in some weird flavors as their lunch 🤪 I guess that just happens to foreigners
欢迎你们
😊 stay in China, best for you
The restaurant is not Beijing cuisine.
It's cuisine of Shanxi province. Typically for migrant workers in Beijing.
My suggestion is try local foods that is local to locals.
