Do you known that you’ve been given the title of “iron butt” by Chinese fans for taking the 30 hours seating train? Your Chinese is improving quickly. Fun to watch you having a few drinks and chatting up the locals. I like your style. 😂😂😂
The only traveller/youtuber came to China to travel actually tries to learn the language, says xiexie to everyone, speaks quite accurate Chinese to talk to people, shows he truly loves the place he is visiting and willing to start some more conversations and talk to the locals, respect! And once again, have fun in China mate🎉
Once again....thoroughly impressed with how you are able to speak the local language wherever you visit. It's one thing to be able to greet or order at a restaurant but to be able to explain Brexit in Mandarin is something wild.
Great videos! Its nice to see the real china from people that are actually in the place, not just hear say and media bias. This is an amzing nation indeed.
one of the most genuine "china travel" youtubers . always try something authentic and local, and also very very talented in learning new languages that i can tell for sure. 👍
Very talented for learning languages so fast especially hard language like Chinese. 👍 I only have taken soft sleepers for long train journeys as those were much more private and comfortable. Having fun with your trips in China!
I can't believe Jack is giving free legal advice on a second-class Chinese sleeper train from Shanghai to Beijing after drinking half a bottle of baijiu. To be honest, that conversation is a bit intense and weird, but I guess it's always good for Jack to engage in conversation with a local to practice his Chinese-speaking skills.
Nope, i can safely say that anyone can set up an UK company, you can use an virtual address, its all legal, in fact the government encourages it, as more tax revenues. @witlof5492
@yishanbai955 I didn't say it was illegal, I just said there were companies which exploited the covid loan system in the UK. Some people set up companies, got a covid loan, I believe they could get a maximum of £50k, then they closed the company down and disappeared with the money back to their home country.
@witlof5492 just checked the Covid loan you mentioned, it has to prove two things.1 prior to Covid, the business was viable.2 the business is adversely affected by Covid. Unless they can predict there will be Covid& there will be a COVID LOAN, it is very unlikely. How strange when that woman just mentioned' her friend has a UK company',you said this Covid loan thing, it's very biased and racist though.its likely she has a business and wants to expand abroad.
That Chinese lady asking about business is probably loaded and good at trade. Like most rich Chinese they blend into the rest of the population, you can never tell the difference until you actually visit her household or office.
I look forward to every video posted by you guys, i even wish they were longer. Have safe travels. Jack how do you manage to pick up so many languages and remember them?
Thank you very much, longer videos are coming! This video could have been really long but it would be 90% about British tax law haha. I have been trying really hard to study mandarin, other languages I just do whatever I can to learn as much as possible before I go to a country. I really love languages as a personal passion and I often watch language TH-camrs for fun, so I learn phrases through their videos
Jack has the gut to try everything brand new to him, including a new language. The conversation between Jack and the Chinese lady on the train is very hilarious. The lady was using her broken English to ask Jack about tax evasion in the UK!😂
Love the video and you 2, your new fan from today. Any plan to visit the southern west of CN? I would suggest Guangxi, where a lot of incredible mountain views you cant imagine.
Great video. I remember back in 2009, I didn't even know about Golden Week. No flights back down from Beijing to Guangzhou - had an onward flight out to Thailand booked - ended up squeezed onto a slow train from Beijing to Guangzhou. 26 hours no seat, barely space to move. Woken up many a time by hot water being spilled as someone squeezed past with cup noodles! Awful at the time, great memory now. Mad to see how much the trains have improved since those days!
the trains running between Beijing and Shanghai are known as “moving offices”😂 a large portion of passengers are office workers who are going for business trips
Such green hard sleeper train, which leaves in the evening and arrives in the morning, I almost took it every month between 2007 and 2008 from Beijing to Shanghai.
Welcome to Changchun . Changchun has many glorious historical places that were built in 1930s.one of these places was once lived by puyi（溥仪），the last emperor in Qing dynasty.what’s more I recommend the mall named ‘there’s hill’(这有山)which is designed very special and beautiful . And if you are keen on northeastren foods，it is advisable for u to choose changchun city to taste orthodox food,such as chunfahe（春发合）restaurant has wonderful food.Have a good time !
Wow incredible....very impressive that you have improved your mandarin by learning through a one month course! keep it up Jack as you seem to have a natural talent in language skill.
Chinese living in London for many years here. Even before Brexit we would need separate visas to travel to the UK and to other European countries, because the UK never joined Schengen. As for the locked door to the dining car, I haven't travelled on the new type D-class sleeper trains myself but I think it should be the same principle. Not because you're not allowed to the other side. It's the opposite, people in the seated coaches aren't allowed to the sleeper side. I only used the Caledonian Sleeper once to go to Glasgow. Probably because the WCML was twisty it wasn't a very nice sleeping experience, but comfortable enough and cheap in August as an alternative route to the Fringe. A few years later they removed the option for solo travellers to share a cabin with a stranger, apparently because it was so unpopular with privacy-valuing Brits, so now it would cost at least something like £200. I'm so glad to come across your sharing your experience of a Chinese sleeper train, as I think this British attitude of "hotel experience on rail" is completely missing the point that it should first be about transporting people in an environmentally friendly, time effective and reasonably comfortable way.
I never take this kind of train in China before either. In my memory, it’s either the old dark train or bullet train. I guess I didn’t travel enough. Thanks for sharing the new experience with us.
Areet from sunderland man, just recently started watching your channel and subbed. Love that you get involved with the locals and theres nothing pretentious about ya, good on ya man.👍
China's economic, scientific and technological development is remarkable, especially the high-speed railway which is currently number 1 in the world. Congratulations to the two of you, have a happy and joyful trip to China.
What a great video! I love watching you both - I have just returned from Chengdu Zhangjiajie and Beijing but have so much more to see? Where would you recommend apart from the above places? Paige is so beautiful! And such an intelligent young woman! Along with Ellis WR I love watching your adventures fir true inspiration All of the other fake bloggers are full of crap !
I travelled with my husband to Datong from Beijing. It was an amazing experience but I was severely dehydrated and I refused to use the bathroom, so didn’t drink much at all. I think a number of people shared my bunk during the night. No privacy, slept on bag, smiled and survived.

To my surprise, Jack's Mandarin has improved quickly.

想学很快，周围人很愿意教
杰克你这样太社牛了，其实你可以在每个车厢里都推广一下你的抖音～这样整个车厢都是粉丝了哈哈哈😂
Yes
有道理！这主意好棒👍🏻
Your languages are amazing you’re very talented! Keep on smashing your videos like always. I absolutely love watching with me and my family! ❤
Chinese ability has improved since the previous visit for sure. Tones need improvement but that will come with more practice.
Jack’s language learning ability is just mind-blowing 🤯🤯🤯
Yes for just 30 hours of learning Mandarin, his speaking skills are pretty impressive specially considering how difficult Mandarin is.
Your Mandarin has improved a lot...very impressive Jack.
我推测在卧铺车上主动搭话的女士,她是想从博主口中侧面核实一下她曾经听到的一些关于英国法律法规的内容. 她很有可能参与投资了有关外贸的项目,涉及欧盟国家和英国脱欧以后的变化. 我推测这是她过来聊天的目的.
Love the way how your wife is supporting to u.
As soon as I opened youtube ,found a new video you guys posted a minute ago, love from Tianjin, China😍😍
Thanks so much for the support!
Mooie vlog leuk wat jullie ons laten zien top en jullie blijven zo gewoon en leuk dat jullie de mensen helpen top 👍👍👩❤️👨

Best train vloggers on TH-cam...
Thanks guys, as you know train travel is one of our biggest passions so it feels so natural. Big love to you both
Little over a year from your first vid in Beijing your Chinese has improved so much
Great videos! Its nice to see the real china from people that are actually in the place, not just hear say and media bias. This is an amzing nation indeed.
You handled that convo like a boss! 30 days to learn a language is nothing short of incredible.
you learned Chinese really quickly! Incredibly fast with all the new internet new words.
Your mandarin is amazing! Well done and keep up
your mandarin is absolutely amazing for studying for 1month. it's actually quite unbelievable. obviously you have a natural talent for languages
It's incredible. Your Chinese has improved so fast.
你很厉害👍🏻，一个月30个小时能把中文学这么好
你算白来看油管了 你看他以前的视频 他6年前就来过中国 中文绝不是现在才学的懂么

welcome back to China, Jack!
You are already a Mandarin pro now Jack😮
wow you even know about black myth wukong whilst travelling. Howay Jack😊
i can tell you really put a lot of work on Chinese learning although you've been on the way consecutively
MAN, you’re really a genius at language learning!
Still can't believe how fast you learned Chinese.
Very talented for learning languages so fast especially hard language like Chinese. 👍 I only have taken soft sleepers for long train journeys as those were much more private and comfortable. Having fun with your trips in China!
It was fun watching your video and how excellent your Chinese is, with just 30 hours of learning! Amazing! Thumbs up for you, young lad! 😂
Wow, you improved your Mandarin a lot. Love your video and hope you enjoy in China.
Watch your videos religiously thanks for the content it inspires me and my fiancé ✈️
Happy to see you enjoying the chinese white wine and localized food.

That 'friend' who set up a company in the UK but doesn't live there, probably got a fat covid loan, and that's the last the UK will see of him.

Excellent video with you being so friendly and linguistically talented. Really enjoyable ; so well presented.d.
cant imagine you speak with that lady for 30 minutes.good job. keep up!
wt a funny story, a shy England man and a outgoing Chinese women😂😂😂
Your Chinese is pretty good now. Enough to communicate in China
34 hours omg btw thanks for sharing this trip
12:52 You can enjoy your food in the dinning carriage, there are nicer tables and more comfortable chairs.

Amazing wasnt it Hahaha never ever would have expected that to be a conversation id have on a sleeper train. China keeps you on your toes 🤣
Unbelievable that you know so many Chinese words👍👍👍🎉
what a lovely couple.
Love the video and you 2, your new fan from today. Any plan to visit the southern west of CN? I would suggest Guangxi, where a lot of incredible mountain views you cant imagine.
Jack, I want to give a big shout-out to the time and dedication you put into studying Mandarin. You're such a fast learner 👏
very kind thank you so much1
You are genius for reaching this level of new language 👍
dangg ur Chinese is so good now
Page is so cute!!! You’re a lucky man.

Sounds like a unbelievable adventure mate!! Love hearing about stuff like that, feels like Trains, Plains and Automobiles haha
Big love mate, too kind as always
