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.

Thank you to both of you for coming to enjoy and partake in the undefeated park culture of Shanghai! I can confirm that all of the uncles and aunties still miss you dearly-I still get asked about you two. 加油酒仙夫妇！
A few days ago, a Japanese mother and son were attacked in China. Now there is a strong atmosphere of rejecting foreigners in China society as a whole. I hope you will pay attention to your personal safety! ! !
帽子大爷不简单，真是活到老学到老，瑞思派~
天呐梅雨季节请不要来上海😅😅😅😅
Thank you for sharing in china video.
I'll say it again, there isn't anyone posting better China content than you two 🇨🇳
This is a proper travel video people.
Thank you so much mate ❤
@@JackAynsleyTravelthank you,your video make my day 😊
I'd have to agree! Was a great inside view for me as an American. Was great to see how friendly the chinese people are literally opening them with open arms! I just wish the governments around the world would stop causing divide between nations and instead bring us all closer!
I bet you didn’t understand the whole thing. I’d say it’s on the borderline of being a little offensive if you understand people’s tone of language.
Keep up the good work! Keep telling the Truth as you see on tge ground! ❤😊
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).
absolutely, just from personal safety aspect alone, I wouldn't live in the US.
Honestly, it's really funny to read this. This actually makes me reflect, it's really difficult to change the way people think depending on where you grew up. Even if you try to write in their native language.
Keep up the good work! Keep telling the Truth as you see on tge ground! ❤😊
听起来像美国的人类清除计划
Couldn't agree more
even shanghai senior residents may speak some English, It is amazing
yep，cuz we Chinese said"上海就是浦东，浦东就是上海！"
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.😀
英国式幽默和中国人的认真形成很有意思的互动，很喜欢这对夫妇的到访
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
The part when Jack trys to sell Paige in marriage market is so funny😂
大过年卖媳妇儿玩
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.
是的你说的没错，一般价格昂贵的鸟笼都是清朝皇室成员才能拥有。
Wow, Max is amazing with his language skills.
国外的旅游博主看过几个，但这位Jack是唯一令人期待的一位。可能是角度与众不同，也可能是女友很有喜感。总之很喜欢看你的视频，即便是用自动翻译字幕。
Thank you! Perhaps it's because we aren't 'shocked' to be in China. We love it here and want to get straight into speaking the language and spending time with local people ☺

This 75 years old man is very energetic and active, looks like a 50 years old guy. wish him good health and happy life.
he is a typical shanghai countryside guy. in whole China, only Shanghai and Hongkong people, whose fathers' generation were from other places of China, like to call other people "new" shanghai/hongkong people to show off. those two cities were both small fishing places, and simply built up by "new" comers, even their fathers were "new" according to their standard, but they completely ingnore this fact when they call people from other parts of China "new", "new" for them is a replacement of countryside
@@Ibrahim86373 This old man has a sense of pride in being born and raised in Shanghai, which is great. He is also very enthusiastic towards newcomers and has a very positive personality.
@@Ibrahim86373 same with Beijing people too.
Very large old population. China’s life expectancy approaching the US number. Shanghai people live longest among all of China
@@xinfuxia3809 approaching? longer than US now. check the updates please. Shanghainese are approaching Japanese.
和本地人交流而不是仅仅参观商业地带是这种旅游最大的意义所在，love your videos❤
I love the interactions with the Chinese people, they're my favourite parts :) Thank you!
😂作为一个中国人，我可以负责任的告诉你，他们两个所到每一个城市所干的事情是当地最典型的普通人的生活，完全融入，很接地气，他们不是那种到一个地方随便吃吃、拍照、攻略也不做、语言也不学习的傻瓜游客
Your interaction is so joyful. Chinese parks are oases in cities where everyone can enjoy happiness. A peaceful and safe environment is amazing!
How ironic is it that the US has classified China as a high-risk country and advised not to travel to China😂
Ignore what the US politicians say about China, make your own decision of where you want to visit.
Whatever the US government claims, the truth is the opposite
“High risk,” as in risked of an American wanting to stay in China forever if he/she visited China instead of going back to the dull, boring life in the US!😂😝 This actually happened to an American kid just graduated from high school about 10 years ago! He traveled with his Christian rock band to do a concert tour in China for about a month in several Chinese cities and ended up staying in China for over a year despite pleas from his parents telling him to come back home to the US! He stayed home for about 3 months and went back to China to study Chinese and attend college and ended up staying in China for good after he met a Chinese girl in college! The last time I spoke with his parents was about 8 years ago when they told me he was engaged to a Chinese girl and that they were ecstatic that their son was going to marry that Chinese girl! His father was especially proud of his son’s choice despite only having spoken with her a few times on the phone! They planned to visit their son and daughter-in-law-to-be in China and attend the wedding in China, that was what they told me. Now you know why the US politicians do not want the American people to visit China! Because once you’ve visited China you might love China a lot more than the US and you might pledge your allegiance to China instead of you know what!
@@grandwonder5858 so very true 👍
怕外国人发现中国禁止零元购，禁止大麻，禁止枪支，不回去怎么办
Omg... Utterly funny and Absurd about the Marriage Matching park... Hahahhahahha.
I love this craziness.
The whole thing is so surrealist.
So... Naked ?😂
😂
A lot of parents have to hide this activity from their kids😂.after you passed them, they went back home and seemed like very occasions to told their child, they met some one from event but not this open market.😂
75岁的大叔太搞笑了哈哈哈 很佩服他的自信 我学了这么多年英语说起来都很胆怯😂
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!
Your way of traveling means you get to meet a lot of actual locals. Most local people in Shanghai speak foreign languages to some extend (mostly English) due to the city's history, but in most popular tourist spots, the workers are from other provinces and are not as well versed in foreign languages.
It is said that in certain parts of Shanghai, especially the downtown areas where foreign embassies are situated, one can live a normal life while only knowing English. Now this is hearsay that my family told me (I was born and raised in Shanghai), but I didn't find a chance to go verify that myself yet (and I would like to someday, just going around pretending I don't speak Mandarin), but for now take this info with a pinch of salt
Edit: skimming through the video and saw the food at the end there. Strictly speaking, Shanghai really don't have a "local cuisine" to speak of, it is more of a conglomeration of the cuisine of the surrounding area plus a lot of European influences. You can find the likes of Schnitzels and Borscht and many more European classics to be considered staples in Shanghai cuisine, although heavily modified from their original to fit the Chinese taste. But it also goes the other way as well, the Shanghainese version of the cuisines from surrounding areas have been modified to better suit the taste of Europeans who lived in the area in the past, which is why the ribs you tried tasted so much like the ones you get in England.
Man! After following your channel for couple weeks, yours are the top 3 of my favorite.
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.
traveler don’t need to live in china，retirement is happy,but young people are very hard for surviving 。
@@user-dv5le2cq7f在中国生存并不困难，想要过好生活则需要努力，其实在全世界都一样
@@user-dv5le2cq7f又懒又馋 又不想努力、累一点就天天抱怨，怎么会过上好的生活，全世界哪里都是一样！
3000-5000元的工作大把，只是看你愿不愿意做了！需要更高的薪资，则要看你的本事与能力了@@user-dv5le2cq7f
没人觉得这部旅游影片拍出了纪录片效果吗？每个人物的性格都刻画出来了。很多博主都是第一视角认识一个城市的建筑街道等，但是这个片子完全专注在上海市井百姓的形象上。不得不说，真实得让人觉得像荒诞喜剧
that duet is just next level!
"you look like mona lisa" is probs a strangest compliment youd get
And I can see it too
But she does so. 😊
@@uhu597 hahahaha
The Smile 😊
She is such a Mona Lisa Doppelgänger.
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.
China is truly amazing country! Keep up the good work! Keep telling the Truth as you see on tge ground! ❤😊
I am dying 😂😂😂😂 Paige’s face @41:11 greetings from Germany and thanx for another heart warming video…. ❤❤❤
Nice to see so wonderful happy people. No words of praise enough for Jack & Aynsley.
Hi Jack. Next month 19th, is the Qingdao Beer Festival, if you have the opportunity to go to see, very grand.
he likes WINE 😅
@@amimi-ricky Yes, I know. Qingdao Beer Festival is the biggest beer festival in Asia, so it's worth going
@@amimi-ricky as a city of a province famous for drinking, Qingdao certainly has lots of wines
jack dancing with the lady made me laugh so much hahah
Well done, interacting with locals always earn you extra points in your video.
Theres not much I enjoy more, maybe a glass of Baijiu to go with it! 干杯 老铁
46:00 The things about Shanghai cuisine is that you must review Shanghai's history first. Shanghai was a county seat with around 200,000 population before 1840. After First Opium War Shanghai was opened as a trade port and ceded a concession to Britain for British merchants. You can still found some British style old build in The Bund. (For example, the Custom House was build by Britain and it used to play Westminster Quarters on every quarter). Since then it grew rapidly and became a primary commercial and financial hub of Far East in the 1930s. When the PRC was establish in 1949, the population of Shanghai is around 5 million. So the majority of Shanghainese are immigrants from neighbouring provinces Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the so called Shanghai cuisine, in a narrow sense, it is local cuisine which originated in Shanghai for those local inhabitant who lived in Shanghai before 1840. In a broader sense, it's a mixture of Jiangsu cuisine and Zhejiang cuisine.
很棒的解释
Such a nice way to wake up in the morning at 7am. Absolutely, love when your videos pop up. Makes my day 100% way better, thank you. The man learning Portuguese seems so nice and very friendly. Keep up the hard work. Love you guys 💗💗
Thanks so much for the kind words! We had such a great day in this video, we love our new friend The Shanghai Davinci!
@@JackAynsleyTravel You are very welcome!
BTW, the guy you thought is a begger, he was actually asking for bottles to recycle lol

the old man at 23:00 is very intellectually curious and studious 🥰
Hahaha... I couldn't stand laughing 😅🤣That was hilarious.
Omg Jack you can speak Portuguese as well?! So amazing seeing the older gentleman learning Portuguese!
I went to China in 2007 to work for an a joint venture between an American theatrical company and a Chinese one. It was an American broadway musical and it was one of the first to tour China. The first city was Shanghai, and I went exploring by myself that first night. Didn't know the language or anything. The people were very nice, but back then China didn't see many people from the west walking their streets, so I stood out and was a bit of a novelty. Not many people spoke English at the time, except for young college age people. I visited 7 cities and it was the most exciting, because it was nothing like the U.S. Although when I was in Shanghai it was so hot that I would have to change my shirt several times a day. I will say Shanghai now seems a bit more touristy than I remember it being back then. I never saw a Chinese man wearing a New York Yankees cap when I was there, believe me, I would have been very excited being from New York.
上海向世界每走一步，都离不开你们的携手相助！欢迎回中国！
My God those Old folks are hilarious. This guy singing itlian, drawing.....his drawing...😂😂😂😂😂wtf😂😂😂😂😂.he is a character., 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 They are all gold
Omg,,what the funny video today 😂😂😂😂
So much fun filming this one!
三人画像真的笑死我🤣
dude speaking from his heart, love them big girls😂😂😂
LMAO when I see the portrait 😂. But trying to sell your wife is another level 😂
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!!
Although there are many English speakers, communication seems more chaotic than before.😂😂😂But kindness is always there.❤
😂😂😂
I won't like to make a collection on the title.
Should be the "Friendliest country in Asia" not "Friendliest city in Asia"
Why did I said this. Because anywhere, any city you go to in China, we Chinese are all friendly to foreigners. Because we Chinese treat foreigners visiting us as our guests.
Bro. What a lovely episode
Hahaha, the sketch work that Grandpa drew for you three made me laugh uncontrollably.
“you are really like a Mona Lisa” hahaha so cute!!
Mr. and Mrs. Brewmaster always bring surprises. Wonderful video❤
Jack my man! Great to you and yr cuttie pie traveling and sharing again, All the positivity and good will vibe! Big UPs!!!
I absolutely loved watching this. So Interesting and such lovely people and food. Thank you jack & lovely paige ❤

In China you will see a magical phenomenon: energetic old people and lifeless young people.
乏了
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

这是因为当年轻人把时间和精力用在工作和学习上，到老了可以清闲的享受生活。如果你想倒过来也可以，没有人逼你
@@user-nv4fk7hk8m 你有证据来证明那些在广场上唱跳的老年人，在年轻的时候有国企或者单位里工作吗？上个世纪中国并不开放，这些老年人很明显是“憋不住了”，现在的年轻人996就算了，但这两年工资几乎没有增长，这也体现在为什么李佳奇说出了那句话时，国内反应如此激烈。你不能敲键盘来解决矛盾，况且我上述的话在国内也并不陌生，说明国内年轻人很认同这句话。
This whole video had me chuckling throughout! Loved it
Welcome to Shanghai, China.
Brilliant video guys 👌..the drawing is class 😂.. so sweet.. you should auction it/raffle to your followers.. 😁
看到这个老头一脸的认真，我认为他画的应该是一副巨作！当你拿过那张画的 时候，我快笑死了！！！🤣🤣🤣
很明显，这个视频他才是主角，你们一行人都成了配角！
oh man ultimately updated
you the first dive deep into the local lives, respect.
Loving this video and the pure contentment with the people dancing in the park on Sunday mornings!
Hillarious how the music needs to be turned down before 11am. I may dust off my dancing shoes and go do some dancing when I visit Shangahi :)
Hahahaha the funniest part was trying to get paige married in China lol
I almost got rid of her 😅

It’s just a GoPro! I think it’s the 11
I loved this episode. The people of China seem lovely.
Omg that’s so funny. As a Chinese I would have never done these things in a park. Too shy for this. But you guys are amazing and I can tell that you are super intelligent. Can’t stop laughing while watching. Love your videos 🎉

Apartments in downtown Shanghai are overpriced, costing $3 million each, which is outrageous. There is a Thames Town in the suburbs of Shanghai, where some luxury homes range from $1 million to $3 million, which is more reasonably priced, and there is no municipal tax or property tax every year.
housing is all about Location, Location, Location. who wants to live in suburb if one works in the city. that's quite common everywhere.
@@wlee3400 To rent a $ 3 million apartment costs $ 100 K per year, which is more expensive than living in 5 star hotel in Shanghai city center, in addition, the hotel offers exclusive breakfast and room cleanning service.
This trip to the park has delayed WW3 by 5 years 😂❤❤
