We had a great day exploring Xi’an, especially the City Wall at night, the illuminated buildings looked beautiful, just wish we had more time there. I have written a FREE China Guide Book PDF with all our tips, tricks, best hotels, places to visit and more, you can download it here: bit.ly/4d8D23t
Thank you so much 😊 your videos are always filled with joy and harmonies ❤which attracts a lot of Chinese people to watch and press on like 👍,wish you all have a good one every moment ❤
@@travelshorts Mark I have been a long time viewer and I just want to say I’m proud of you for reaching that TH-cam play button. You definitely deserve that.
Traveling with two kids, father making plans, booking hotels, tickets, shooting videos, editing, posting, very very tired, and the kids are very strong and brave, love you guys!
Xi 'an is the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, a thousand-year-old capital. It's not as famous as Beijing and Shanghai in the world, but it's really a good choice to experience China culture.
Xi'an's history and architecture never cease to amaze me! 🇨🇳 Can't wait to explore more places like this when I move back to China next week. The blend of ancient and modern is what makes it so special!
Xi'an is not the oldest city in China, but it is the most proud city in the hearts of Chinese people, because the capital of the two greatest dynasties in Chinese history, Han and Tang, is here.
Xi’an is the ancient capital of 13 different dynasties, including the two golden ages the Han and Tang dynasties. Luoyang is the other ancient capital also of 13 dynasties. Ancient capitals include Guangzhou (Nanyue Kingdom 南越古國founded by Zhao Tuo 趙佗，a general from the Qin Dynasty, which also started the 1000 year rule of Vietnam till the Tang Dynasty), Hangzhou, Kaifeng, Nanjing, and now Beijing. Handan 邯鄲 was another ancient capital.
洛阳Luoyang in Henan province, Luoyang is the city with the most dynasties as capitals in Chinese history, as well as the earliest capital and longest capital history. The Chinese call China as 中国 (central kingdom), and the earliest 中国 refers to the Luoyang area. By the way, Kyoto in Japan was built based on the Tang Dynasty capital Chang'an (Xi'an) and Luoyang. Due to geographical reasons, only the Luoyang half was built, so the nickname of Kyoto in Japan is 洛陽 (洛阳).Henan Province is the birthplace of Chinese culture. Henan Province occupies four of the eight ancient capitals of China: Luoyang, Kaifeng, Anyang, and Zhengzhou.@@TheFuronghua
I am so grateful for your uploading. I enjoyed very much and admire you and your kids have gone through all the steps to record all the trips in China. I am very happy just by watching it as I don't have much courage to do it myself anymore. There are some places I had been many many years ago and it has changed a lot now. I am so glad and expecting more trip recording from you and your little girl and boy. Wish you all have a wonderful time in China!!!
So glad you and the kids enjoy the trip in Xian. This is a city of culture of great ancient China, it is eye opening place for many visitors. Love that all you can eat food place. Have a wonderful trip guys 👍🎉🎉
Hope you can come again in the future. There are lots of great places to visit, such like Yunnan, Xinjiang. And you can also enjoy the nature scenery like Huangshan and Hukou Pubu
You need to place an order on the Didi app at an intersection where you can park (because parking is prohibited at some intersections), otherwise the driver will not be able to go there.
For catching the train during the busy off-duty time, the reserved time is really a little less. I'm really worried that I won't be able to catch the train, but I'm finally relieved after seeing the trailer of the next episode of the film. Looking forward to the next video!❤
Thank You so much for sharing your China travel vlogs with us. One friendly suggestions though is when ever you come to a plaque outside the building or monument , please stop a couple seconds and take a good shot of the plaque so that we can pause the video and read to see what is says. Like the one in this video at 26:30 , we can read something about the Japanese diplomatic mission, but can't read the right side half of it for you moved away so quickly. Thanks a bunch ! Please keep up your good work.
It sounds like you felt really tired walking and your feet hurt😂, but this is part of traveling haha,wish you smooth,and the The price of shared bicycles starts at 2.5 yuan and the rate is one yuan per ten minutes,love you cute family❤
Thanks for adding Chinese subtitles❤😊Looking forward to your next videos，if you can update two vlogs one week，that will be much better😂，i miss Holly soso much❤
@@travelshorts But this also has a good thing, which means that your videos of your trip to China will continue to be released for a long time, and I am looking forward to it! After reading your PDF, I think there should be many more wonderful videos to be released!
the big colorful statue like things on top of the city walls are new years lanterns. they stay lit up at night several weeks after chinese new years but I guess you were there a few months after and they hadn't fully taken them down yet.
Actually, you can go to Chengdu first. . Because it is closer to Xi 'an. . Then go to Guilin, finally go to Shanghai, and then fly to Guangzhou. I recently took the high-speed train to Hong Kong. Maybe you can refer to it next time.
Hi can I ask if you had any issues with Alipay? I have the app and have added my card details is that all I need to do? I’m going in September so any tips greatly appreciated 👍
Other than the two at the ice cream shop, no problems at all. The app is so easy to use you either let them scan you QR code or you scan their QR code to pay for things. I was really worried before coming to China that I would run into problems but luckily everything went smoothly. Have a great trip.
It would be different for all situations but for our 23 days the total was between £10000 and £12000, this includes everything flights, hotels, attractions, food, etc. you could easily spend less than half that if you are on a budget, probably even a third. I do plan on doing a full “what did it cost” video in the future once the series has finished.
The taxi issue was because that where you stayed was too close to the train station, normally it's very easy and cheaper to take the metro to go to the train station(3 or 4 stops). So the Didi drivers think it's not worthy to drive that “short” distance. But anyway, you made it and congrats!

Love your vlogs. Super informative. We’re going to China in October and we’ve learnt so much from you. Thank you 😁
will you vlog?
十月来中国旅游不是一个好主意， 或者说不要在国庆节期间来旅游，那种拥挤会让你终身难忘😂
@@ergoufeng十月初国庆节期间也许会有很多人，但是十月的天气应该是最好的，那时候会很舒服。。。
Don't go to China in October at Chinese National Day from 01 to 07 and Chinese new year, There will be great migration of human being😅
请一定避开9月30到10月8日这个日期区间。因为这是中国的国庆节。会有非常多的人出游，到处都会显得很拥挤。以此同时，食物和住宿都会变贵，各种花费都会变高。
Xi'an is not the oldest city in China, but it is the most proud city in the hearts of Chinese people, because the capital of the two greatest dynasties in Chinese history, Han and Tang, is here.
So which one is? I am from Xian, I always thought Xian is the oldest city
🤠🤠🤠🤠 Yes, Luoyang ( 洛陽城 ) and Anyang( 安陽城 )both have longer history than Xian ( 西安城 )😊😊😊😊
Xi’an is the ancient capital of 13 different dynasties, including the two golden ages the Han and Tang dynasties. Luoyang is the other ancient capital also of 13 dynasties.

你那个小闺女很多地方都是免票的，像西安地铁：每一名成年乘客携带两名身高不足130厘米（含130厘米）或年龄6周岁（含6周岁）以下儿童乘车的，儿童免票。如果她不够130cm，就免票，不需要票！
Love to watch your videos and the music，your kids are lovely

Highly recommend 大唐不夜城 during the night time, really generous there and it just on south of Giant goose pagoda
Hope you can come again in the future. There are lots of great places to visit, such like Yunnan, Xinjiang. And you can also enjoy the nature scenery like Huangshan and Hukou Pubu
You are a good dad and a great traveler. I look forward to your next adventure in China.

Wanna bring my boy to my hometown henan when he is born. And take him to shaolin temple when he is older. Lol
A good father.
this place is so nice，cool❤
当年的唐朝 非常开放世界各国的人都来中国，各种文化甚至基督教也在唐朝传入中国。
wow, you make great video again. you are real good father and both kids are so cute.

教育投資。
Nice❤

You really should see the show " CHANG HEN GE", that's fabulous.
👏👏👏很高興又看到西安的視頻，雖然不能進入大雁塔，卻留下你再來西安的思路，而且中國旅遊認識更多中國文化！
繁忙時段叫車要預多一些時間，否則趕不上火車， 安檢 和找入閘口還要花時間，希望你們能趕上火車旅途愉快！
現在法國奧運會，你和孩子們也在看比賽嗎？
Thanks for the tips. No we are not really watching the olympics, only occasionally if it is on TV when it is switched on.
I think the only drawback of this week's video is that the film is too short🤭🤭🤭. I hope next week will come soon.😻😻😻

In front of the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is the Great Tang Everbright City, which is much more interesting than Giant Wild Goose Pagoda，You missed it😅
The tourists there are going to the Great Tang Everbright City, Not Giant Wild Goose Pagoda😅

your music choices are underappreciated
Thank you.
Wish you could have stayed at the pagoda square for the largest nightly music fountain show in Asia, if not the world
I wish so to but we had limited time. It just means we will need to come back one day to see it. 😀

No, the bell is place outside not inside like churches in England.
Didi generally doesn't want to go to the train station because it's easy to get stuck in traffic. Just go to the train station and take a taxi.
Actually, you can go to Chengdu first. . Because it is closer to Xi 'an. . Then go to Guilin, finally go to Shanghai, and then fly to Guangzhou. I recently took the high-speed train to Hong Kong. Maybe you can refer to it next time.

The jingle is too loud, too often.
if you meet difficulties in china，you can ask young people for help，they are helpful，translate apps will be useful too.❤
Beijing is political center，so everything is stricter，Apart from Beijing，other cities can use Alipay for transportation for foreigners😊
Yikes 😧 7 cancellations I’d be panicking big time!!!! Are you able get airport via metro or taxi instead didi?
