look at my Beautiful country nice road thank for the person who make this video . showing our beautiful country.
@lemmieatit because government is corrupt and money na grow pon tree
Be thankful for what you have, when the British left, they left us without education, pennyless, we have come a long way.
jamaican Nicho say thanks to China as they own it
Nickoy1 Channel you are a fucking ass wen you take out something at courts is it courts own.
Shane Walker eat a 🍆maybe then you'll see what's actually going on around you.
Wow, what a spectacular day. Blue skies, lush greenery. Yes Jamaica!!!
Beautiful!
I have to share this fact. My journey from Spanish Town where this toll road starts, to my destination in Falmouth is cut by more than half, and the money I pay for toll, is significantly less than the gas I burn on the old road. There are no negatives here, all win win.
Beautiful, Great Video
Waa gwaan....no music; your video of the drive through Fern Gully had great music. Nice video any way. Thanks for the ride.
lots of xenophobia going on. The French build and own the 1st part of highway 2000 and i did not see so much hate.
So why hate on the Chinese ?they are just doing the same thing the French did and any other business would do. Jamaica did not have the money to build this road . The chinese put up their money . they get some land and they collect tolls for some years Jamaica get a quality highway which will open business and we don't add to the debt. those land has been sitting there and no Jamaican try to buy or invest.this is what we should be doing a long time . we would not have all this debt. the Land they get they will build hotels. Who's going to work in those hotels.? look how much deal the spanish get to build all those hotels. I don't have a problem with the Chinese . I have a problem the the corrupt Jamaicans. everywhere you go to get some business done you have to bribe someone to get anything done.
I guess you don't believe this bribery happens in China right. Well I don't live in Jamaica and it happens right here in the Chinese community just like all other communities. There is nothign happening in Jamaica that isn't happening all over the world. While the Chinese put up their own money to build the highway, collect toll and a piece of our land, guess what? Chinese in China are starving by the millions. This highway will benefit Jamaica but we cannot be fooled in thinking that the Chinese did this to benefit us more than themselves. Wait we will soon find out since we don't already know.
Oh no. The chinese will eat your heart faster than dog soup. The French only eat snails escargots..
wow! am empress beautiful! High way congratulations.! to the Jamaican! job well don
It is a lovely highway - once you're actually on it! The problem for me is the traffic from Normal Manley Airport to the beginning of the highway. Once you're on the highway it is plain sailing to Ochie. Depending on the time of year you can actually arrive on British Airways and reach Ochie while it is still daylight!
Great job China, you did what the British should have done.
Correction, China did the job, Jamaica should have done. As a Jamaican, I'm happy to see the highway built but, sad we never achieved our fullest potential after 55yrs of independence.
you do realize Jamaica is a small nation
Why did JA wait 55 years to achieve this?
Was no one else but the government to blame. In any country progress is how one leads by example.
However, it is easy to say whoever you vote into power are to blame when it is the people who put them there.
What I disagree with is the expense to local Jamaicans for this major construction which the Chinese will no doubt increase in interest as time goes by.
Progress comes at a cost, even more so after 55 years. I would like to see the train system that the English established, restablished.
There is abundant reason for doing it. This highway is not toll free and will be the fastest way to cross the country.
With an improved railway system Jamaica's infrastructre will shine because there is much need in a struggling but progressive Jamaica.
For the people, by the Jamaican people. No need for outside finance unless it is via exportation first, thrus improving importation of required machinery and know how...
How is Jamaica independent when them still hail the queen!!! Chain soon buy out di whole ah dat bloodclatt Chinese people safer in Jamaica then Jamaicans can you imagine... smfh keep thanking China
PARADISE on EARTH !!!
Lush green.
Beautiful country(Bonita Jamaica). Thanks to China.
WHAT IS THAT LINE ACROSS THE HIGHWAY AT 23:58??
It's tar...
I true seh u can’t travel with free card ?
They are building roads in Russia too.
highway cost to dam much how can people afford to use it
That car doesn't sound to good..
every where in jamaica will get up grade soon just pay the Chinese them there money and everywhere in jamaica will look pretty .
Claudette P well we don't have to money on our own. If Jamaicans would have worked together but unfortunately we can't wait around for that. We have to borrow the money so we can improve our infrastructure. During these developments Jamaicans are getting work. So both countries are benefitting in that aspect. And it's a good thing the Chinese are working along. They are good and diligent workers and work fast. I must admit if it were just Jamaicans it wouldn't have finished all now. Some tend to be very lazy and some deliberately stretch the job out, which is counterproductive. We may have a ton of loan to repay but at least we are closer to being more developed in terms of infrastructure which will help bring in more investments. Now if Jamaicans are so hurt by the govt bringing in foreigners they need to stop with the crime and violence. It pushes out investors and I'm not seeing many Jamaicans trying to invest in their own so we have to seek it from outside.
No real surprise that the highway and the signage on it look very British.
So much envy in the comments! Stay hurt...
Beautiful country.....run and governed by a corrupt asshole and a few hangers on
WHILE I AM NOT THRILLED BUT MAYBE IT IS TIME SOME OTHER NATION APART FROM BLACK JAMAICANS TAKE OVER THAT COUNTRY AND RUN IT. WHO KNOWS THEY MAY DO A BETTER JOB THAN THE IDIOTS WHO ARE CLUELESS AS TO HOW TO RUN THAT COUNTRY.
GOOD LUCK WITH DATT.
I am not fond of the Chinese but as I said maybe they would do a better job than the clueless ones.
thats what we chinese said about the whiteman but we let them invest in our country look at us now, you cant be a bigot and hope to progress.
I am not sure what look at us now means coming from you whether it means look at how in debt we are or look at how rich we are.
people take loans to build their own business. it all depends on you own ability to create margin of benefits. you can't expect bank to provide money and run your business for you to repay the loan. nothing in world for free to any country. China took loans , allowed west company to exploit their sources to create jobs and suck in technologies, and earn hard working bloody money as well. they accumulated their earning into capital and invest in their own industrial abilities, now after 30 years gone, they are raising. so please don't complain, be hard working, make your own future. when you need money to do some thing but you don't have it, you certainly need to borrow it, and if someone agreed to lend you money you should appreciate not complain, because if you got so much potential as you thought, it won't be difficult for you to get loan anywhere else!! look at your credit other people seen in you first!! not expect someone give the money free to you. that's the beggar's logic!
Nobody can question Jamaica's beauty but this seems like endless monotony. Ok, so let's get technical. Video needs colour correcting. Background noise very irritating. Get rid of it and lay a music track.
baricojam The noise you hear is wind...!!
Don’t put any song in the background cause if someone wants to share it to Facebook, Facebook will block the music anyway.
Nice road. Have fun obtaining debt from china. Jamaica isn't even ready for a new road. The old one perfectly takes you to the capital
Non progressive backwards talk, even if it takes 100 years to pay back China, the fact is Jamaica will still be around and the future generations will benefit from these highways. Don't be so short sighted
KarizmaticENT While it's the more progressive thing to do. It's not always the right thing to do. Jamaica should develop some form of infrastructure before roads. Even their water lines aren't up to standard. And I think water should be a bigger priority than a new road. Also, barely any locals can use this new road due to the fact that the total cost of going down that road equals out to 500 round way. Progressive policies can only work if the economy is in shape. You're a good kid but you only think with your heart.
If you can't understand the economic benefits of highways linking the whole of Jamaica then maybe you're the kid here, or maybe just too old fashion. I won't waste time educating you on that, there's google where you can educate yourself. Jamaica being tourism dependent will benefit immensely from highways. A country with modern infrastructure is very attractive to visitors and people looking for opportunities for investment. I'm afraid like so many Jamaicans you are the one thinking with your heart and not your head, maybe you are more worried that "the chiney dem a tek ova".
KarizmaticENT There ARE NO economic benefits to this road. They have no companies that need to transport across the island. And the average civilian cannot go down that road due to their lack of pay. I went to Ochos Rios around march 22-24 and while I was there I spoke to my tour guides. They had told me that there was no need for a new road and that everyone got what they needed from their old road. This was just a power play by china to have yet another country under their belt. As Joseph Stain said "For one to rely on another country, is to bend the knee for that country." Ochos Rios and Jamaica as a whole would be better off providing for themselves and aid by friendly countries who won't force a debt upon them. That is not the old fashioned way of thinking. But the smart way of thinking.
Do you understand when I say that a better infrastructure is more attractive to investors, start using your head, or not, it doesn't matter to me I'm not gonna argue with you all day. All the experts know this, do you know more than the experts. Do you understand that the chinese got land to build hotels and housing communities? how do you think people will get to these places. Do you understand that tourist can now rent cars and drive to certain attractions a lot easier? Do you understand that it's easier for Jamaicans who live in Jamaica and Jamaicans overseas (Who can afford to pay the toll) who are visiting can get to all the events all over Jamaica a lot easier?
Wow ,the sky is so beautiful !!
Great Video, very beautiful country indeed.
I love it
Thanks to China for helping black communities around the globe. More importantly, may God bless China for improving lives around the world.
dwl Jamaica men bild that road include me, fuck China
Thank China? You think they build it out of the goodness of them heart? You must be sick and crazy
lol why would the Chinese want Jamaican lands? This is called an investment and no nation in this world is going to give away $730m for free. The Chinese provided expertise and financing at a lower interest rate to Jamaica to build the highway, don't be so short sighted a road connecting the entirety of Jamaica will help Jamaica in the long run.
where are going to take the land to? Why Jamaicans don't buy the land. it's been sitting there forever
will, if you really worry about that, just refuse Chinese money and keep them away so the worry will be gone! ok. LOL
Wow Jamaica is truly a beautiful country
infrastructure, roads highways,etc always beneficial to a country. They're investments
Oooww Jamaica i love this country 😍
Denilson Brazilian Taha So, go there and live and come back and tell us the truth regarding your experience. Hahaha
We traveled from Portmore to Mobay on a new highway in 2016 and in no time we were there wasn't alot of traffic but a really nice drive we even stop awhile in Trelawny to visit family.
Thanks for sharing your video !
Tks for sharing.
Superb.
Never drive on it yet hope to!
beautiful view.thanks I am wondering who was running u down.
Been on this road least 20 times since open ..
they needs. now to upgrade. Rollington town!
Wow! Such a beautiful place for such a visionless *Native / Jamaican Leaders,* on both sides it's underdeveloped no wonder why they *Chinese chose that location to build that wonderful highway.* Coming soon near you Jamaica multiple building projects along that highway. It's a pity and utter shame *Leaders of these beautiful Caribbean Islands is stepped in greed, selfishness and apathy towards its people.*
When has the highway opened?
If the government legalize Ganga production and ship to worldwide legal corporations they should be able to pay that off in a few years. But the government heads are slow'.
amazing video
Jitender Singh well this is the Land of paradise but the laga heads they don't have no idea how to use the Land.Education need to develop more.. we need engineers & TAILORING CREATIVE CRAFT SKILLS . THE ONLY THING THAT WILL HELP THE ISLAND TRAINING YOUNG PEOPLE'S TO ACTIVITY .IT WILL LET JAMAICA MORE ATTRACTIVE.. WITH THEIF THE KILLERS INPLANTERNS SHOCKING METHODS IN THEM. PUT THEM INTO HARD LABOUR TO WORK IF THEY WASTE ANYTIME THEY GET SHACK.THEY MUSTWORK. THIS SHACK THEY CANNOT MOVE IT .TREAT THEM FOR THEIR BAD NO MERCY LOVE YOU JA BUT EVILL PEOPLE STOP THE WICKEDNESS. LET US UNITE.
If we can have that in Haiti that will be handsome
yea 730 m$ is correct I typed it wrong, an investment to be paid in about 50 yrs still aint bad, like 200 miles
It is wise to invest $750m on infrastructure that benefits the people and the country than spending six F-35 at $122m per aircraft that benefit only the manufacturer.
and at 370m$ is not bad at all, very good price i would say
Lh 50 it's 73o million us dollars . set us back another 75 years and the chinese are the ones collecting the toll wake up stop looking at pretty and think who is benefitting look there is nobody on the highway the people need jobs they cannot afford the toll Hollness let the chinese trick him
@Andrea Hyde.....Your pessimistic view is base on politic and not economic.
@oneviwatara and cripple the economy ? all funds have a purpose , they have to generate that over time
How long is the ride really?
45- a hour
clean long highway...curious to know what the 3 bikini girls at the beginning and end of video have to do with driving on the highway...lmao...the chinese have vision for jamaica, unlike the locals
I wish I could build rest area, gas stations and stores all along the highway.
This highway is a mountain country highway not the main highway and Jamaica island a huge size country that needs rest stops and all that they have rest stops just not on this highways elsewhere.
How long is the trip?
45mins
where is the traffic" talk about ghost towns,, but this is a new one on me' ghosts highways ,,or duppie highways
with this high way they only needs. good. government. ***.***
what did china get in return?
Oh they got much more than that.
@oneviwatara for 50 years and some land
Sounds like the driver is driving on the highway with his/her windows down. Not very smart. The car is now using 40% more fuel to go the same distance at the same speed. Save some $$ and roll them up and turn on the A/C.
May be he don't have a working A/C..just saying.
Every time China built a highway, dam, power plant, railway, subway, bridge etc overseas by providing loan and technology, China will be scolded/blamed by people around the world: why is that? Why the country receiving the project and loan did not refuse China's offer in the beginning?
harry K because china bought jamaica's politicians....idiot
Why is that? Because China plays a chess game that it has already been playing in Asia for centuries (at least). Just travel a little bit in East Asia and you will see how their neighbours perceive China. It is ingrained in their culture that "uncivilised nations" (that is the rest of the world) need to be merged in the Chinese sphere of influence. And today, in a world where natural resources are becoming scarce, they're trying to secure the last chunk of it. I hope you will have learnt something today, Harry K. And why is that? Why does your own country very likely have a huge debt too and did not anticipate their expenses (unless you are a Norwegian citizen)? It's called speculation and capitalism plundering the world resources. We'll see later about the financial debt, the ecological disaster and the climate change...
WTH what's the speed limit is their any 😂😂😂😂😂 beautiful though
smile forme speed limit is 80 for the majority of the highway....I think 100 in some parts but I may be confusing it with the south coast highway. If you drive the speed limit it should take 45mins from kgn to ochi but he did it in 23mins so I'm guessing he was over 100. It's very easy to get over 100 especially when we reach the sections of the highway where there's a descent. The other parts of the highway is at a 5percent incline so you tend to move slower then. Overall it's a nice highway with beautiful views.
People should stop complaining. The Chinese are not taking over anything. Right now, the Chinese have too much money that they don't know what to do with it. Better to let earn something by building toll road projects than letting it sit idly. The Chinese are also doing the same thing all over Africa. They should be commended for that. My only problem is that African countries should learn from the Chinese so they can be doing the same thing fifty years from now.
Beautiful highway, but not much traffic, i guess jamaicans are more accustomed to the long and winding pothole roads.
kingjbo Looks like a Sunday. People go to church and spend the day with family. Most shops are closed.
I thought they just run?
kingjbo...it because you have to pay a toll to use the new road. Thats why there are not many cars using this new highway.....
this isn't a very busy part of the highway just like in every other country some parts of highways through the mountains aren't as busy as through a major city or towns
Bring the yard flow and passa passa every friday on highway 2000 let we kill it up bring the weed and left the gun at the yard man
The concept of slow lane v fast lane is lost on Jamaican drivers. There's absolutely no order in that country.
That's a general statement don't you think?
Its nice but who's highway is it though? Who is receiving money from the many tolls? I say to all aboriginal and visitors alike, be careful of shiny things...
Nice i love my country if the guns fool them just stop killing there one another we couldnt ask for a better country smh ,look how jamaica is beautiful
司机开车不够稳，总左右摇摆
now usa do the same for mexico, and you can save on walls .
All the major roads and infrastructure in Jamaica is always done when the PNP is in govt. When labourite a run Jamaica all they do is steal the money
Shut yo rass and stop tell lie lets talk about PJ Paterson
Biggest thief in ja history
And he was a pnp
chinese might not realize this but keep allocating resources to dark skin people, they are not helping the world, because these people are not innovative, soon there will be less resources to go all around and it will push the major nations, including china to fight for it, and there it comes world war 3.
building roads, bridges, houses, infrastructure etc. in countries like africa, jamaica, nigeria, indonesia, bangladesh, pakistan, will only stretching the world's resources, because these people are not innovative, lazy, ignorant and close minded they will not help solve the world's problems, so all those resources youre put into and given will only go wasted
helping the poor people is good only if they are hard working and innovative, like the jewish people, that's why america spend billions each year in israel. china on the other hand spend billions in africa, south asia, southeast asia, which will go wasted. these people are (sorry) dumb, angry, and ignorant, giving them free stuff will only teach them to be more ignorant, china need to get wiser and think about real investing in the future.
Fuck you hozobo you are wash person
First of all we are not lazy and theres a south of innovative people in Jamaica you sound ignorant and stupid fucking dumb ass
