    I have met a young couple in Thailand recently. They were from US and flow to Singapore and they were traveling from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and then to Cambodia and Vietnam and before going back to US.
    We have happened to have a casual friendly conversation and I have asked them since they are so near to China, why not go to China just for a few days to see China. I told them China is very interesting. But I was surprised of what they told me.
    They said according to all their media reports in US and advice by their government and many other people. They were advice and told not to travel to China. Even their parents don't allow them to go to China. They were told China is not a safe country to travel. Very dirty, poor rundown infrastructures, poor transportation system, polluted, homeless people are everywhere waiting to rob tourists are common even in broad daylight. Chances of been detained for no reason by the Communist government is very high. Because China is an authoritarian state and all foreign visitors are monitored by thousands of cameras everywhere and every minute where foreign visitors go. Foreign visitors from western countries can be detained for months or even years for no reason.
    All these is what they know about China. The couple is like below 25 years of age and already so badly brainwashed by their government and controlled media. This is really sad.

      西方的媒体和政客真可怕,他们的民众很天真。由此可见媒体和政客的洗脑确实厉害,就这他们还标榜他们是民主自由的,新闻是自由客观的。这也难怪那么多外国人来中国才感到震惊,因为他们一直被政府和媒体欺骗。

    16:51 the price was 1.5 yuan per gram on the label. I think you got 100 grams at first. so it's 150 yuan. It was a public price so it wasn't overcharge. In fact, flower tea is expensive in many shops.

They have variety of vegan foods and vegan cake and vegan ice cream and so on. It is one of my favourite vegan restaurant in Beijing. If you are still in Beijing, you must give it a try!!!

    Mandarin has a phonetic system called Pinyin. Pinyin is developed based on English phonetic symbols, so it looks like English letters, but its pronunciation is different from English phonetic symbols. Chinese people start learning this phonetic system in elementary school, and most Chinese people is using this phonetic system when typing Chinese characters on the keyboard.

    I didn't know where you were until the 13th minute of the video. This place is called "Bell Tower". The surrounding "hutongs" are where ordinary people live. It's a 5-minute bike ride from where I live now. The Bell Tower was first built in 1272. I can't believe a bottle of water here costs 30 yuan.

    Tea can range vastly in prices, especially the tea you have on video is a combination of tea mixed with different fruits., that's a different animal all by itself. It's hard to gauge if you were overpaying or not. The tea price is clearly labeled 1.5yuan per gram, which is 750yuan per 500g. There are tea leaves that are thousands of yuan per 500g, so it's really a matter of the type and quality of the tea, which is hard to tell.

    I suggest you visit the Old Summer Palace, the most beautiful royal garden in China 200 years ago. Although many buildings and sculptures inside were burned down during the invasion of Beijing by the Eight Nation Alliance, the ruins are still very beautiful. Now it is a huge classical park.
    I also recommend you to go to Jingshan Park, where you can overlook the entire Forbidden City. If I remember correctly, the two parks are free or only require a few dollars in admission.
    In Beijing, you can't miss Beijing roast duck!!!
    I also recommend you to visit Xizang, Yunnan and Xinjiang!!

    Traditionally, there are six methods of formation and usage of Chinese characters, including: pictograph-象形, simple ideograph-指事, compound ideograph-会意, phonon-semantic compound-形声, phonetic loan-假借 and derivative cognate-转注.
    For example: eat is "吃", it look like open mouth then put into throat, it a pictograph character.
    And in your video, got a lady sell you herb tea, and a type of sticky-rice cake, it called "Zeng Gao 甑糕" , the character “甑” is on her T-shirt also, it is a name of steamer, so it's called "Zeng cake". This is a simple ideograph character.

    nice to see you tried something other than tofu 🤣
    there are so many vegetarian options all over including buffets often found near temples. the noodles and dumplings you had are pretty common and shops like that are on every corner so you didn't have to drive an hr for it 😅
    you can't really get scammed when something has a price label. some things in china are actually very expensive, like high end teas. then there are other things for tourists like the floral fruit tea you bought 😂. just memorize a few key phrases like how much and the numbers so you know when to pass up something.

If you just want to buy some daily fresh vegetables and fruits, this place is very good. The market’s distinguishing features are its small and exquisite nature; each remaining stall has its irreplaceable reasons. The benefits are that the prices are cheap, and the quantities are large, and the variety and prices of the ingredients make it hard for people to stop buying."
      I am from Beijing and know that place, but I have never been to this market. I have been away from China for almost 20 years, and don't go back often. This is the information I saw online, and I am not personally sure about its accuracy. Also, personally, I find their homemade beverages to be not very cheap.

    Generally, Chinese people will not buy such things in tourist areas, especially things like flower tea and candy. You can see that the price of flower tea is 1.5 yuan/gram, which seems very cheap, but if you calculate it, it is 1500 yuan/kg (€200/kg), which is actually very expensive. Moreover, those flower teas and candies are relatively heavy, a little bit can be more than 100 grams. So, although this is not a scam, because the prices are all written, but you still need to be careful about such sales methods.
