This is a travel clip from our full china travel vlog of our first impressions of Guangzhou: th-cam.com/video/ih4QenpJLjY/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUNdHJpZmF0ZSBjaGluYQ%3D%3D
I am not a Chinese or Chinese descend. 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.
Mate, I love it. "China builds it in REAL life, USA puts it in Movies". How true is that!!!!I went on the Shanghai metro in 2018, and I was astounded. The network was so vast and deep down, you could take journeys of escalators going down or up, especially in an interchange station. Thousands would be on their phones because wifi was already widespread underground. Everything was so seemless and in order, and was very cheap. I’ve travelled on the Shanghai maglev and China’s high speed rail system. It is world class! The Chinese government doesnt build these transportation for profiting from the Chinese population but to move forward the development of the country as a whole. National development and prosperity started with transportation and infrastructures, and the Chinese know it.Irrespective of what you say about freedom and human rights, that's the type of government for the people. A government that looks after the well being of its own people and not the opposite as the west meddling and killing of people of other nations.
You are NOT brainwashed by western medias. Welcome to visit China again. You can go to chongqing, a magic "4D" city. Also, I recommend you to visit Beijing, NanJing, Xi'an, XinJiang, Tibet(xizang), and Harbin
Many "China expert" from the west have criticised China's metro system being a "massive failure" or "a system will collapse on its own" because of negative financial profit; but isn't it the purpose of having government to serve the society? People can enjoy the service that vastly improved daily life, in relatively low cost from personal pocket. Maybe it's hard for the "free people" to imagine having a trustworthy government, yet somehow believe their choice of vote actually matters.
I lived in Washington DC where it costs $5 to go from the suburbs into the city and $5 to go back. $10 a day to go to work and back home. And often the suburbs are just a few miles from the city. The buses in China cost 1.4 RMB which is about 15 cents if you use a bus card. Living in China is much more affordable, and the quality of public transportation in China far exceeds the US.
but you don't mention the salary in China.5 dollars for US citizens equals 5RMB for Chinese citizens. in China, if you use the metro, the cost is about 5RMB per way, 10RMB a day to go to work and back home.
@@pipiqiqi4010 That's a good point about the cost of living compared to salary. I think it would take a long time to fully compare everything. I'll ask around and see how the cost of the Metro is viewed. It can't be too prohibitive since so many ppl take the subway. Most of my subway journeys cost around 3 RMB which is about 50 cents.
@@pipiqiqi4010 I can say that the average savings % of income is much higher than in the United States. I can save here 3-4X what I could save in the US. That's one of many reasons I chose to live in Asia.
@@WayneGolding Maybe your office is near with your home. For me, it takes 5 RMB per way for 12km. so it takes 10 RMB per day for work. and in my city, the average salary is 4000-5000RMB per month, so i think the traffic cost is equal with the US citizens on the traffic.
@@WayneGolding i think it maybe because your salary is same with in the US and much higher than the average people in your city. plus, the tax in China is really lower than the US, so you can save more money than in US.
I am convinced the Chinese are using some type of advanced tech to build infrastructure. AI ROBOTS even. The size and speed of development is MIND BOGGLING!!
I have not seen too many young American travelers. I have seen many Americans came to work and live in China. It is unfortunate that America feel like it needs to make everywhere else worse than America. And we know America is pretty mess up nowadays.
@@dullesni6539 No, answering with a question is not saying much. At least you should tell us. Family Sponsored, employment based and education or research based don't count as running away. China don't block people from leaving on immigration, education and job purposes. This is from Kishore Mahbubani....."When I first went to China, in 1980, for instance, no Chinese were allowed to travel overseas as private tourists. Last year, roughly 134 million traveled overseas. And roughly 134 million Chinese returned home freely." I think this was a speech he made in 2019. A drop from a bucket can mean a lot of people to some people. After all China has 1.4 billion people.
in past 5000 years , exceeds 80% time ,china was number 1 by GDP , in year of 1840 , begore UK invade Beijing city , china GDP still takes 40% of world GDP at that time
Generally you would look at your fancy hotel website or the booking site info and it tells you what the closest metro stop is, usually including the line.
I am a Chinese, and I think that Chinese and Americans have different freedoms. The freedoms that Chinese people can enjoy include the freedom for people of any age and gender to walk at night without fear of danger, the freedom of not being shot if they approach other people's houses, the freedom to walk down the street with a drink, the freedom to get a response from government staff within 24 hours, the freedom to enjoy very cheap and efficient public facilities, etc. No matter how much the Western media demonizes China, the Chinese people like the Chinese government, and the Chinese people’s satisfaction with the Chinese government is as high as 95%. You must know that before the new crown epidemic, 200 million Chinese people left the country to travel to Europe, the United States and other countries a year.
When you sing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I feel very close, and the memories of childhood come back. This is the memory of our common culture, no matter which country we are in. In China, we call them 忍者神龟。🐢🐢🐢🐢🐀
But no proper China visa cannot round trip and no other cities in China (such as after Guangzhou> Xiamen, Beijing, Shanghai etc) and High speed train to and from West Kowloon station in HK by 144 hours visa free.
For good reason, as often " tourists " from overseas are not the most wel behaving people that travel. Therefore china put travel restictions in place.
@@lexburen5932 Right now eleven European countries (France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Belguim, Luxembourg, Hungary, Austria and Ireland) , Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand people and children no need apply China visa can enter to China trip and even West Kowloon station can go to take High speed train to China also.
We all know that both Chengdu and Guangzhou are all LGBTQ friendly cities,and so I hope you are having some good times there as a couple 🏳️🌈❤️ So beautiful 😍
Most of those illegal immigrants are criminal in China and some of them are low educated ppl who are brainwashed by the U.S. propaganda (500 millions USD each year) on internet.
Foreigners that come to visit any countries STOP been petty and complain small thing's. Keep your mouth either shut or controlled . Either you enjoy or just leave ✌️ ✌️ ✌️
It can be all (almost) OK travelling in dictatorship countries. Nature can be beautiful. People can be friendly. Streets can be clean. Trains can be fast. Culture can be interesting. Overall "ordnung" and low level of criminality. It was the same in Nazi Germany, in Stalin's USSR, in Castro's Cuba and it can be the same in the Xi's China. If you don't touch politics or governing party (whatever kind it is) and kindly have forgot oppressions against someone (Uighurs, Tibetans, Jews) then you can have wonderful experience there, especially if you have used by CCP like some kind of live advertisement. I lived 30+ years in USSR and travelled throughout entire China, so I know about what I'm talking.

Absolutely, the American style freedom is to take away other's freedom 😂😂😂😂, my way though that might hurt you, no consideration.

You should take Guangzhou Metro Line 18, speed 160 km/h

I was there days ago.
Very clean station 👍

Thanks for the wonderful video. Btw, I was in NYC last week and I did take subway a few times.
Even thats blah blah...is far more 10 X better than NY metro.
不可否认的是纽约的地铁比我们国家要早非常多时间
You can actually buy an extra subway ticket and the extra one can be used as a souvenir.
