  • I share the real China with you over one whole year. I filmed over 15000 videos clips in China over the past year and I have chosen a selection to show you what everyday life is like in China 中国. Most of my footage is in the city of Nanjing 南京 but I also visit Shanghai and some other cities. I visit futuristic buildings, ancient Chinese buildings, local Chinese Communities, parks, the Yangtze River and many more places. I also take two short trips back home to the UK and share these experiences with you.

There are a few devices on the companies website but the device I used in my recent video about visiting China without speaking the language is inexpensive and called the Timekettle Fluenttalk T1 Mini translator.

    Happy new year 2024 Adam. It is Always a pleasure to watch your videos about everyday life in China. It’s refreshing to see the real China , not the negative reporting depicted by the western mainstream media . Whether it be about the so called collapse of China’s economy or the allegations of human rights abuses against the uigers. I hope you continue your journey of discovery in China. It requires someone to open the heart and mind to discover the truth about another culture.

      Well, Johnny, that's the place I was living for 5 years. You're just hostile to the West, while, I can look back on living 5 years in Nanjing.
      Bringing back great memories: Xuanwu Lake, Laomendong, Jinimingsi, Fuzi Miao, Niushoushan....and there is still much more to discover. This video doesn't include Shizishan, Tangshan and Mouchou Hu.
      Nanjing cityscape is a bit dull but is a very ancient city with lots of historic sights. Xuanwu Lake, remains from the city wall and Jimingsi are located just next to each other and are among the top 10 sights in China. Otherwise, Nanjing has no real skyline and its subway system is far behind other Chinese tier 2 cities (probably that's why it's not shown here)

I have explored most of those places. I’ve made videos showing villages beside Laoshan mountain, tea plantations and a temple on the mountainside but I haven’t filmed going up to the top of the mountain yet. It’s a great area, did you used to live in Nanjing ? No, the subway is still under construction but hopefully not too much longer.

That's the level of their indoctrination with the anti-China USA led media. But the younger family members are open.

      @@middlekingdomproductions I thought the building was beautiful and unique. Inside, the mall appeared rather quiet, and my wife and I had lunch on the second floor at a Cantonese restaurant. The first two floors had good store occupancy, but the higher floors seemed to have mostly empty storefronts. We asked a cleaning lady we saw on the top floor who has been there since the mall opened three years ago about the mall. She said many stores failed due to Covid and the lockdowns, and apparently the mall owner might have had a financial failure, though I’m not sure about that. The biggest problem for the mall’s future, as I see it, is that no metro lines are proximate to the building. We had to walk 10 minutes from the metro station at Shanghai Railway station, and the project isn’t easy to walk to from there. Contrast that with IFC mall at Lujiazui, which is directly connected to Line 2 metro station. Makes a big difference. BTW, I’m not an expat and live in Colorado, but was able to return to China for my 11th visit since 2009. My wife is from Shanghai. Love my visits to China!

      Thanks for sharing your experience. I agree it is beautiful and unique. Did you see it lit up at night? Yeah, the covid years have been difficult, especially for smaller businesses. I think there is another metro station that is a little bit closer in the other direction, but I also walked there from Shanghai railway station, through the art district. I think once the 2nd building is open, it has a hotel and I think perhaps office space and different uses than the first building, maybe it will attract more people into the area. There are many nice walks along the river there and the art district is very interesting too. Wow, Colorado look beautiful and snowy.

Colorado indeed is beautiful, and those of us living here often take it for granted. As for the highlights of my many trips to China, it’s difficult to choose a favorite. A month ago, we went to Zhangjiajie and visited the Avavtar mountains and took cable car to the top of Tianmen mountain on my 70th birthday. Certainly one of my favorite highlights and unforgettable. I’ve seen Guilin and Li River, and this matches up with that scenery. Also have been to many of the great cities including Nanjing. I’ve been to the Great Wall, went on Yangtze River cruise, saw Stone Forest, and so forth. A huge and incredibly fascinating country to see.

    I also like the ancient culture / history associated with nanjing city, which makes it much more meaningful than just a scenery site. Being a person who grew up in Xi'an, I'm familiar with and like historical sites / traditional buildings/ famous sceneraies. But Xi'an was much less developed and less green than nanjing. So Nanjing was my favorite city in China when I was a child.

      Thank you very much 🙏🏻🙂 Thanks for your interesting comment 👍 I agree, I like Nanjing because it’s very green and has a mixture of modern and historic sites. It also has many beautiful parks alongside the Yangtze River. I’d like to visit Xi’an in the future. Which city do you live in now ?

      ​@@middlekingdomproductions Yes, Nanjing is very beautiful. I have relatives in Nanjing. I still remember the impressive drive around Xuanwu Lake when they picked me up from the train station when I was a child. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to explore many places back then. They are still living in Nanjing now, enjoying a peaceful and comfortable life.
      Xi'an is definitely worth a visit. Xi'an is also a famous historical capital with abundant historical relics both within the city and its vicinity (perhaps even more and older than Nanjing). Over 2000 years ago, this place was the center of Chinese civilization, serving as the capital during the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties. The Qin Dynasty marked the completion of China's unification, the Han Dynasty was a period of military expansion, and the Tang Dynasty was known for its significant cultural influence and was considered the best time in Chinese history.
      You can find numerous introductions to various ancient relics in Xi'an, including the city wall, an exceptionally well-preserved ancient wall that you must pass through upon entering Xi'an. I have fond memories of attending lantern festivals on the city wall during my childhood. Additionally, for sites to visit outside of Xi'an city, there are also plenty. Terracotta Army near Xi'an is a world wonder comparable to the Great Wall. Apart from these, Famen Temple is one of the largest Buddhist shrines and is famous for one of its relics, supposed to be a finger bone from Buddha. Banpo Site is a prehistoric settlement dating back 7000 years; Lantian is a site with the remains of ancient apes from over a million years ago, being the second-oldest firmly dated H. erectus beyond Africa, and the oldest in East Asia.
      Xi'an also has beautiful scenery. Especially the nearby mountains, many of which are renowned. The most famous is Mount Hua, followed by Wutai Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, and more. The mountain ranges in the area are quite high. Once you've seen the mountains there, others might seem like mere hills. If you look at traditional Chinese landscape paintings, you'll notice similarities with the scenery in this region.
      In addition, Xi'an is known for its delicious food, mostly various noodles / buns/ hamburgers. Due to its large Muslim population, beef/lamb dishes are also very famous.
      Over the years, Xi'an has seen considerable development. To attract tourists, Xi'an has built the Datang Furong Garden beneath the famous Giant Wild Goose Pagoda (initially built in AD 652). The night view is particularly stunning and has become a landmark for tourists to capture. In summary, to thoroughly explore Xi'an and its surrounding areas, I believe you would need at least half a month. For history enthusiasts, it might take even longer.
      While Xi'an shares some similarities with Nanjing, they have very distinct styles and landscapes. If you come for tourism, I believe you won't be disappointed.
      As for me, I am currently in Canada. Therefore, I often watch tourists' videos in China to stay informed about the country's current situation.

      Thank you very much for sharing such interesting information about Xi'an. I hope I will have chance to visit the city in the future, I'm sure on day I will. I didn't know Xian had mountains nearby, in fact I don't know much about the city, but now I have a much better idea, thank you. Where in Canada do you live and what is life like there? When I think of Canada I think of the beautiful mountains and the quiet coastline in Nova Scotia, it's another country I'd love to visit one day. I remember flying from the Uk to New York and we flew down across south east Canada for a while and it looked very picturesque.

      @@middlekingdomproductions Xi'an is located near the Qinling Mountains. The Qinling Mountains, stretching 1600 km with elevations ranging from 2000 to 3000 meters, are a well-known mountain range in China. The famous mountains near Xi'an are mainly from the Qinling range, with Mount Hua being the most famous one. China's most famous mountains are the Five Great Mountains and Mount Huang (the Yellow mountain). Mount Hua is one of the Five Great Mountains, renowned for its steepness.

      Additionally, if you go to see the Terracotta Army, you'll find yourself close to Mount Li. Li Mountain is where the mausoleum of Emperor Qin (first emperor in Qin dynasty) is located, and it is also home to Huaqing Pool, a famous Tang Dynasty imperial hot spring. Moreover, there are also the Zhongnan mountains which is famous for being the birthplace and an important centre of Daoism.
      I live in Ontario, Canada. Here, there are no prominent mountain ranges; instead, we are known for the lakes, and the famous Niagara Falls. If you want to see beautiful mountain scenery, the most famous in Canada is the Rocky Mountains in the west. Particularly, Banff National Park is highly worth a visit. Afterward, you can explore Vancouver and head south to Seattle in the United States. On the east coast, one of the most famous scenic areas is Prince Edward Island, which is worth a visit. Moreover, Canada is renowned for its maple trees. If the weather is right, visiting during the fall is exceptionally beautiful, especially when the maple leaves turn vibrant colors.
