Welcome to Chengdu and hope you have a pleasant experience in Chengdu. Many Chinese people like your travel videos very much. Your open mind and cheerful smile make people feel happy. You can contact me if you want to try Chengdu or Chongqing hotpot, I can invite you to try some special ingredients
Sounds silly. We don’t see many decorations around while walking around the normal parts of the city, but there are certainly a lot of people celebrating and experiencing the holiday vibes and Christmas spirit in some places. 😊
From anti China organizations, funded my Taiwan separatists, crooked Taiwanese “politicians” and funded by democratic endowment org in the west. They absolutely hate China.
What you may not know is that there are 100 million Christians in China.China is actually very tolerant of different ethnic groups and religious beliefs. We welcome everyone to have the opportunity to come and play in China🎉
@@fannyshiu7728 넓고 사람이 많은데도 불구하고 교회를 보기는 너무 힘들더군요. 청두와 충칭 그리고 상하이와 베이징을 이번 여행을 다녀왔습니다. 아마 국토와 인구가 훨씬 적은 한국보다 교회가 없을겁니다. 쉽게 생각해보세요. 자동차와 사람은 중국에 가면 엄청나게 많이 보죠? 그러나 교회는 거의 보기 힘들어요.
@@user-es5sf3ty8I have some family members that are Christians in China. They don’t go to church each week but they gather at one of member’s home usually. Only in special occasions they go to churches. So no need to have a lot of churches.
Merry Christmas Mike and Ashley🎄🎄🎄So happy to see that you guys had fun in my hometown Chengdu!!Also, early Happy New Year!! Hope that in the next year you guys can get to visit more beautiful places you wish to visit all around the world, and most of all, stay SAFE and HAPPY!! Much much love, you guys are my favorite traveling couple. The love between you guys and your attitude towards life are just so beautiful to watch❤❤
Ahh I remember when I was little, around 2005-2007 in Chengdu, people had our own little Christmas tradition like going to a plaza and randomly bonk people with inflated hammers or sticks, and use fake snow sprays to spay others. It was such a vibe, families and kids were so happy bonking strangers and getting bonked. Unluckily, one year the teenagers went too crazy, someone got stepped on and got hurt, so since that year this event was gone in my areaI still miss it, that was how I got to experience the Christmas vibe I saw from American cartoons and movies. I'm right now experiencing Christmas in NYC which is truly amazing, I kind of feel sad when you guys found out Christmas in China is still a bit different, just like me spending Chinese New Year here in Chinatown. This is the time that we really get emotional and miss our family and home🥺 I will be back in China for New Year’s eve tho, so excited! Haven’t been back for more than a year now. Hope you two can be with your family and friends soon too! Home is always the best.❤
Wow, thank you so much for your incredible generosity and kind words! You’ve truly made our day unforgettable. We’re so grateful to be here exploring your lovely hometown-it’s been such a gift! Wishing you happy holidays and a wonderful New Year! 🥰❤️
Merry Christmas guys. Christmas market in the middle of the literal Middle Kingdom organized by a German company. My god, when one turn off the news, the world is actually quite hopeful.
It’s one of them. Our videos from Songkran Festival in Thailand, Tet in Vietnam and Holi in India all went up within 24 hours. It’s a challenge for sure! 😅😂 Now I (Mike) am really tired and just want to watch movies haha. 😴🥱
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re not religious and didn’t expect to find Christmas in China, but it was such a nice surprise and we had a lot of fun! Thanks for watching. 🥰❤️
8:15 is a traditional chinese dessert that's popular in the winter, it's made of asian pears, chinese dates, gouji berries and white fungus mushrooms, all of which are nutrient dense.
@@mikeandashley hey I am local Chengduese(I don't think there is a word like this but I'm local), I didn't know you arrived in Chengdu! I thought you are in Beijing now. Anyway, merry christmas! Have nice time in Chengdu haha.
Merry Christmas 🎉 so surprising to see your video tonight 😂 I didn’t know a Christmas market can be so nice in China. As a Chinese living in Japan I’ll say it’s better than Tokyo’s Christmas market
I hope you guys enjoy your stay in China Your videos are full of love and happines and brighten my life, they encourage me to view life in a positive way love from Beijing
Hello guysss!! I ve been keeping watching your vlogs since months ago when I was in Italy and guess what? Yesterday evening I was exactly the same place and I immediately recognizeed you two guys when you were having the dinner😂!! ( I was so shy to say hi but at least here I wanna say Thank you for the lovely videos and the very positive energy, I love your curiosity and your enthusiasm! I really hope and you guys are enjoying your trip here in China and here in chengdu ❤️❤️
@@mikeandashley we were there for a month. started in shanghai, then hangzhou, suzhou, changchun, jilin, chengdu, sanya, xiamen, then finally singapore during christmas. happy new year!
what a lovely couple, Merry Chrismas! Thank you for your video to show the world that China can have Christmas, enjoy youselves in China. China is huge and many cities are worthy to explore😊
Strange, I was told by anti China hawks on the internet that Christmas is banned in China. Thank you for this very informative video debunking this myth
Thank you so much! We left Beijing nearly two months ago and spent time editing our Beijing series in Hanoi, renewing our passports, and waiting on our multiple re-entry visas to China. We are very excited to be back for an extended stay. 🥰
Thanks! Merry Christmas to you too! We've got a lot planned and I'm sure bunch of random stuff will come up too knowing us. 😅 But either way, we're excited!
Your every picture tells a story. Your every video uncovers a mystery.. Merry Xmas Mike and Ashley from EU. Hopefully will return to my motherland in the near future. Take care
Aw, thank you! We try to capture the moments we're in to the best of our ability. We're happy you enjoyed the video and are thankful for your comment. Hopefully you'll get to return home soon. Thanks for watching! ☺️🫶
Merry Christmas! It sure is. This is our 4th Christmas in a new country, and our first one in China. It's interesting to see that even in different places with different cultures, Christmas is still pretty much Christmas. Hoping you have a wonderful holiday. 🫶
You would be very lucky. She’s an incredible person and I feel so fortunate to have met her early in life, so I can have so much time with her by my side. She’s a bright light in this world. 🫶🥰 Thank you for watching our video! 😊
It sure did! We had no plans for last night and then we found out about this market so we HAD to check it out. We were blown away to say the least. I just wish that all of the vendor stalls were open. It would have been so much cooler! Oh well, hopefully they got a much needed break with their families. Thanks for watching!
Christmas is more commercial than religious, esp in US, I don't see any reason China should restrict it. Glad to see you guys celebrate in ChengDu, Merry Christmas!
I’m a Chinese now working in Mexico. In recent years, politicians have been trying to spread fear and rumors among ordinary people, which makes me really sad. But there are still people like you who are willing to explore different countries, experience different cultures, and make videos to share with others. You’re helping to break down prejudice and hatred, and I absolutely love your videos. There’s a phrase written on Tiananmen in Beijing, and the second part says, “Long live the great unity of the world’s people.” I truly hope that one day, people all over the world, no matter their race or nationality, can come together as one. P.S. A lot of people have suggested you visit Harbin, it’s my hometown. If you ever need any tips on things to do in Harbin, I’d be happy to help hahaha
Thank you so much for your kind words. We hope that our videos break down barriers in some small way and show others that most people are kind, regardless of their appearance, speech, or origin. It is really sad how the media tries to divide us. Reality is so different than what is shown online. How are things in Mexico now? We traveled across the country for six months in 2021 and absolutely loved it, but of course, US media is always talking about how dangerous it has gotten. Do you feel safe there, and would you recommend that we visit? Thanks again. 🥰
@ I live in Mexico City, some places like Reforma and Polanco are safe. But you still need to be careful at night. There are no 100% safe here in Mexico. But it’s a city definitely worth to be visited. Places like the castle Chapultepec, Museo de Soumaya, Museo Nacional de Antropología are really great. Also you can go to the cities like Cancun or Acapulco.
We’re not sure when we will be back. There’s a small chance we’ll go for some time next year but nothing is planned/booked yet. We do miss Indonesia’s beauty and cuisine! 😊
In China, a saying to describe people showing off their love is "Scatter dog food"（撒狗粮). I think you are good at 撒狗粮❤ Don't take me wrong, it is a good word. We like that.😄
The LuxeTown Christmas Market in Chengdu is an ideal place for everyone to enjoy the festive atmosphere, take part in fun activities, and indulge in delicious holiday treats.
Hi, welcome to my hometown, hope you two have a nice journey in Chengdu. To drink some tea and chatting when sunshine appears is a very enjoyable time in the winter of Chengdu.
Oh what the hell... I might as well make somebody happy! Merry Chinese Christmas from the UK even though no Xmas cat 😺 in sight... Seriously though Merry Xmas everyone who reads this.... If only for the next 48hrs everyone is just happy and smiling with their loved ones it's worth it...
Nice thumbnail. Hope you enjoy your 1st time flying to Chengdu to visit, try Sichuan food and christmas eve. Wow I didn't know your flying back to China, but visit Chengdu for the 1st time before Christmas and edit to upload on christmas eve quick.
Yup! We only left Beijing because we had to, but we got visas for China as soon as we got back to Hanoi. And yeah, with Holiday videos, we do our best to post as soon as we can so it's actually relevant. We weren't going to make a holiday video, but when we found this market, we felt like it was a cool opportunity to make a cheesy Christmas Special style video. Haha. Thanks as always for watching!
merry christmas and happy new year! cute themed village lol. there would be much more christmas vibes in the east coastal cosmopolitan cities like shanghai and even where you came from beijing, but at least you found something since chengdu has much less western exposure in terms of ex-pats. you gotta try the share bikes - it's a good way to casually explore the city. tip, if you are in china longer than a week, it's worth it to get a local number. you can get on for around $15 at any of the local telecom stores. having a local number really opens china a lot more and makes things easier - just imagine if you traveled in china without any of the payment apps. plus you can save on the cost of one esim so it balances out.
That meal looks delicious! I miss mulled wine so much. Only got the chance to watch your Christmas special video in New Year Eve 😂 Anyways, Merry belated Christmas & Happy new year! 🥳
18:50 I think I saw the orange chocolate in Trader Joe’s here in states. But I’m not sure if it’s orange flavored chocolate or it’s just chocolate shaped like an orange.😂 Anyway, nice video! China has a chill Christmas vibe, so happy to see everyone enjoying it.❤

Some people even say that China doesn't allow people to celebrate Christmas. That's funny.
Sounds silly. We don’t see many decorations around while walking around the normal parts of the city, but there are certainly a lot of people celebrating and experiencing the holiday vibes and Christmas spirit in some places. 😊

Nice thumbnail. Hope you enjoy your 1st time flying to Chengdu to visit, try Sichuan food and christmas eve. Wow I didn't know your flying back to China, but visit Chengdu for the 1st time before Christmas and edit to upload on christmas eve quick.
Yup! We only left Beijing because we had to, but we got visas for China as soon as we got back to Hanoi.
And yeah, with Holiday videos, we do our best to post as soon as we can so it's actually relevant. We weren't going to make a holiday video, but when we found this market, we felt like it was a cool opportunity to make a cheesy Christmas Special style video. Haha.
Thanks as always for watching!
I see. My pleasure.
merry christmas and happy new year! cute themed village lol. there would be much more christmas vibes in the east coastal cosmopolitan cities like shanghai and even where you came from beijing, but at least you found something since chengdu has much less western exposure in terms of ex-pats. you gotta try the share bikes - it's a good way to casually explore the city.
tip, if you are in china longer than a week, it's worth it to get a local number. you can get on for around $15 at any of the local telecom stores. having a local number really opens china a lot more and makes things easier - just imagine if you traveled in china without any of the payment apps. plus you can save on the cost of one esim so it balances out.
Thank you so much, and happy holidays to you as well! We got our SIM cards yesterday, and it has made life much easier. 🥰
真是一对幸福的小两口❤🎉❤
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

18:50 I think I saw the orange chocolate in Trader Joe’s here in states. But I’m not sure if it’s orange flavored chocolate or it’s just chocolate shaped like an orange.😂 Anyway, nice video! China has a chill Christmas vibe, so happy to see everyone enjoying it.❤
Ah, that's good to know! I'll have to check Trader Joe’s when we return to the States. Thanks for watching! Wishing you happy holidays. 😊
