Hello and welcome to our channel,
We are Reanne and Ben living in Portsmouth, England. We have been together from the age of 15.
We brought our first house together at 23, got married at 25 and Reanne started her own business at 27.
We have been wanting to travel the world so
The day has finally come we have sold our business and and our house to explore as much of the world Full Time.
We created this TH-cam channel to share our adventure with everyone who wants to explore but don’t know how. Let us know what you think of our channel so leave a comment we’d love to hear from you x
Join us on our adventures
Because some people are paid to say bad things about China, so when someone says good things about China, they naturally assume that the other person has also been paid.
Goes the other way. If you say something that doesn't follow the CCP narrative then you are paid by the CIA
Brain washed by Western media. Surely no genocide in GAZA

@@potu5097 I don't know about that? When I say something that doesn't follow the CCP narrative some say I'm paid by the CIA, others question my education or mental capacity. By that reckoning the vast majority of westerners who share my Liberal views are, on the CIA payroll, need to go back to school or need mental health medical attention
@@potu5097 or killed to say bad things in China?
I’m a foreigner living in in Shenzhen and married to a Chinese, I’m glad more foreigners are coming to China and realizing that media can do a big harm.
I really recommend luckin coffee, cheap and tasty coffee 😊
Thank you so much we are so glad we came and spread some truth. Honestly can not wait to return ❤️

And you have to learn how to get across the GFW to post this comment. What do you think the Chinese gov are hiding from its people and why? And if you have lived in China for long you should know why there is no press freedom in China and be familiar with all kinds of censorship in social media.
@@foodfootfool you really need to stop the hate, you better come and have a look by yourself instead of making stupid comments.
Hater gonna hate, those with an open mind can all clearly see China is an amazing & safe country! Would love to visit to see all the beautiful sights with my own eyes! ❤😊
There are more Chinese and China haters in Indja than the whole of western world.

Thanks for the vlog. Yes so true. I went to Beijing by myself last yr on the 144 hr transit visa. Im off to shanghai soon visa free as NZ passport holder. I first went to china in 1984 & everyone was on bicycles: there were no cars. Very 3rd world. The place i went to in china 1984 is now full of skyscrapers, massive metro tube system & electric cars. In 40 yrs 800 mil Chinese have been lifted out of poverty, GDP per capita increased from $200 to $12,000; built the best infrastructure in the world with high-speed rail network of over 40,000 km; 0% inflation. Amazing achievement. Keep up the good work 👍
💯💯❤️
I am Chinese, I am 50 years old, China has changed so much,Everything I have right now,Would have been unthinkable 20 years ago,I remember a newspaper 30 years ago said that China's GDP would catch up with Japan's by 2050.At that time, many people laughed at it, But now it is four times that of Japan，I love my country very much，New Zealand is also a beautiful country. We welcome friends from New Zealand to visit China.
Do you understand the current state of democratic rights and freedoms in China? Do you know that China is a one-party dictatorship and an authoritarian regime?
Please correct me if I'm wrong in what I say next:
China has the Great Firewall, digital currency, facial recognition, a social credit scoring system, and internet censorship and surveillance. All of these harm individual and organizational rights and freedoms and serve as tools for the state to monitor and suppress dissent.
China has no opposition parties to provide checks and balances, no free media to act as a fourth estate, news is censored, information is opaque, and the Great Firewall limits people's access to outside information, restricting their connection to the world. There is no freedom of speech; basically, China enforces a one-voice policy. Isn't it true that whatever China says, people can only listen and believe?
China operates on the principle of "Central media sets the tone, central media belongs to the Party, the entire country speaks in unison, and there are no other voices." Inside the Great Firewall, all media content is uniform, repetitive, and identical, isn't it?
China has press bans, party bans, no right to assemble and protest, and religion is heavily restricted. There are banned books and songs, literary inquisition, and criticism of leaders is forbidden. Political matters should not be discussed recklessly, and there are restrictions on traveling abroad. CCTV is controlled by the Party and cannot freely criticize current events. The internet is monitored, and the firewall prevents people from connecting with the world. Carelessness can lead to being summoned or disappearing. Every person has an internal policeman. Does China truly have democracy, human rights, and freedom?
When the CCP issues orders from the top down, the Chinese people can only listen and obey. Do the Chinese people have the right or means to say no? When the CCP goes against mainstream public opinion, is there any balancing force in China? Don't you know this?
Xi Jinping amended the law to allow himself to rule for life. What can the Chinese people do? Can they do anything but offer unanimous support? What else?
Whatever the leaders say and decide, the Chinese people can only listen and obey, right?
What does your conscience tell you?!
Everything is true except the 0 inflation. Water and electricity are cheap because they are state owned but all the other things are more expensive
@@Astrophageyep maybe I got that a little wrong but it’s rising slower than the west that’s what I mean
As a Chinese, I welcome you to visit the real China. No matter whether what you see is good or bad, as long as it is objective and true, I approve of it.

Tell the haters, go there and see for themselves. Only US will pay you to lie.
Exactly. The Strategic Competition Act of 2021 allocated $300 million/yr to discredit China. So, almost anyone can be paid to spout lies about China.
Your absolute truth.
U cant wake someone pretending to be asleep. US has a 1.5B budget to malign China for these haters and western media. So all are doing these best to lie.
All those haters are too poor to afford a ticket to China, they had to stay in the wet basement
Haters will always hate regardless if they see the truth or not.
When you question whether these vloggers who praise China receive money from the Chinese government, do you also receive money from Western governments when you say bad things about China?
Congress Proposes $500 Million for Negative News Coverage of China
The effort to counter China’s ‘malign influence’ would fund negative coverage of China’s Belt and Road Initiative-while also beefing up the U.S.’s international lending.
BY LEE HARRIS FEBRUARY 9, 2022
Congress allocates $500 million for media outlets to produce journalism for overseas audiences that is critical of China.
The bill would direct funding to the U.S. Agency for Global Media, a U.S.-run foreign media service, as well as local outlets and programs to train foreign journalists.
500 million dollars. That's the sum of money the US congress allocate to churn out negative news coverage on China. First reported by American Prospect on Feb. 9, the bill was stuffed into the China-centered America COMPETES Act that got passed by the US House of Representatives. A majority of the half-billion-dollar fund will go to the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), a state-run media service that oversees Voice of America (VOA), Radio Free Europe (RFE), and Radio Free Asia (RFA), which have a record of "blurring the line between objective news coverage and pro-American propaganda," the article wrote.

今天已经是第二个外国uP主游中国专门解释没有中国政府赞助的视频了，这就证明欧美国家政府是有多么用心在抹黑中国洗脑本国民众，以至于很多到中国旅遊的UP主还要出一期视频来专门解释没有中国政府给钱。
In fact, UK and US do. US passed a bill to fund negative propaganda on China to the tune of billions of dollars..
Interestingly enough, the Irish-German couple have just summarized their China trip. The Chinese are not rude, but they are just RELATIVELY reserved, avoiding being intrusive. They follow Confucius' 2500-year-old doctrine：Never impose the things you do not like on others.

I went to China last year. I was walking on the streets in the mid night, I felt no fear at all. Everything here is so safe. Unlike in the United States, where at night there are homeless people and addicts everywhere, and you could be robbed at any moment. In China, I truly felt a sense of real safety and genuine freedom.

Unfortunately, China has not yet given the UK the best visa-free treatment. As a Chinese, I understand that there is a reason for this. The United States is very unfriendly to China and always uses mass media to attack and slander China. Unfortunately, the British government always behaves like a follower and servant of the United States and is also very unfriendly to China, including the media. The UK even followed the United States and drove warships to China's doorstep, which made the Chinese very angry. Therefore, it is easy to understand that the UK is not given visa-free treatment for the time being.
As a trader who's been following the geopolitical situation regarding the West and China for the past 20 years, the Chinese aren't "very angry", as its been going on for quite some time already. They're open to building friendly relations with the UK, as long as the UK is up for it - which in this case, they are not. It needs to be mutually beneficial, not like what the British had done to the Chinese following the Opium War, which led to China ceding their own territories like HK for the British to colonise.
@OnTourWithDridgers I'm glad you guys are challenging the decades old negative stereotypes held by many people in the West - no thanks to the mainstream media, and some other "social media" outlets who are on the payroll by certain anti-China "NGO" associations. Keep up the awesome job guys - you have my support!
Do you know how bad the process is for Chinese to get a tourist visa to the UK ??? I know several who did that last year and this and they will NEVER travel to the UK again. The UK process for Chinese is like seeking immigration. The word is out, void the UK visa go to EU instead.
@@raycomeau6866 Which is why as I said earlier, it requires UK to do their part as well.. which I hope they will...
Times has changed.. let's work towards mutual respect and world peace.

The British people are not the same as the British government. In fact, most British people are relatively objective. I have seen many British people shoot videos of their lives in China, and several of them have even obtained permanent residency in China.
"Are you paid by the Chinese government to advertise China positively?" Those people are actually paid to ask this stupid question.

Hello, guys, I have been following you on every video in China. Love to see you enjoy your visit and also see your truthful and untainted reporting about your experience.
The truth will always prevail. Lies will be exposed. Jealousy and putting others down won't work
In 2019, we crossed the world to border between Hong Kong and China around 3.00 am. We walked quite a distance to catch a taxi. Totally safe.
I remembered the second time I visit in Beijing(2009), we got on the bus but we had no change, only 100 RB in the pocket (first day and just stepped out the hotel), one young guy got off the bus saw us could not paid the bus fare he got back and paid for us, before we could say anything he disappeared. we carried map with us (remember 2009) every time we looked at the maps someone will came and asked do we need help!
This has happened to me 1000 times, especially in Iran and Turkey and maybe 2-3 times in China. Nothing special.
@@VerkaterterStiefel He mentioned it because he probably didn't experience such kindness back at home. Practice more patient & receptive to other people's feeling and freedom of expression, it would be better for this world.
@@yangguo17 again, this is nothing special.

Hopefully now people realise how hard it was for foreigners going to an English speaking country. You can't speak the language, they laugh at you, make fun of your, get frustrated with you. You get judged by not knowing what and how things work there.
Thats pretty sad. But it's so true. As a kid everyone would make fun of the Asian kid that didn't speak good English. In high school it was the same. As an adult, you don't see it as much, but I would probably not stop and take the time to help someone with directions if I couldn't understand them. Sometimes you wonder what happened to us, and how did China not fail like that.
That is call RACISM. It is in their blood.That's why they colonized almost the whole world with that mindset. Having said that, I wish that Chinese were racist few hundred years ago and had invaded Australia and New Zealand before the Whites.
Avoid those places with ignorant people. Its often a cultural thing to make up for some inferior issues.

What an oversized ego one must have if he or she thinks all those security cameras on the street are there are just to watch him or her.
The ego comes from having the right to freedom from personal discipline.

Seeing is believing. Come and see what's happening there.
In UK , I asked random people how do you think about Chinese or Asian people , mostly they answer “rude” “dirty” ! I was shocked to know , where did they get these information?
They looked into the mirror, and that's what they saw.
BBC, which painted the chinese scenery to black and white.
BBC, of course!
US government spends millions every year slandering China through western media.
Americans, when they started visiting countries in the Pacific and parts of Europe soon after 1945, became quickly known as "The Ugly American" and you know why? People thought that they were loud, demanding, boisterous, boastful, arrogant, disrespectful, show-offs and even "loutish". But were the Americans really as described?
I’m glad the foreigners visiting China are honest and fair.

You spoke for majority of visitors in China, as expatriate lived in Aus, Canada, US, I still feel shocked to see so many new things, how convenient and how affordable. China is going the right direction. About visa free, blame the UK gov treating China like an enemy lol anyway, it's easy, if 144 hour visa free runs out, just go to HK for half day, then come back, another 144 hours starts. Love the bloopers, did you say "prick"？？lol Anyway, can't wait to see you guys back in China soon
true, the only reason a country gives another (usually richer ones) free visa is to attract tourism. Chinese economy no longer relies heavily on tourism, so they don't have a reason to offer one-way free visa while the UK doesn't give it back

Thanks for enlightening many ignorant people of the West about the wrong perception of China. Kudos to both of you from Malaysia.
My perception of chain being a developed nation was completely changed after visiting.
Thank you for visiting China. I am glad you guys had a wonderful time and spoke so highly of my country.
I just wish there was less negativity from the Western media about my country.
At times I feel we are being demonised. Why can't we all live in a peaceful co-existence?
It's not about my country has to be better than yours. Every country can be unique in its own ways and that is what makes travelling such a joy as we can experience things we can't in our own home.
Thanks for all your fun videos. Excited to know that you are planning to travel to China again in October >> more videos for us to enjoy, yay!! But you may want to avoid the week long National Holiday in China at that time as all places/transportation will be super packed. (I think it’s the first week of Oct but please double check). Cheers!
Talking about China bike sharing. In China, those bikes can just park there for days and will still be there after many days. In the west it will be gone by the night or next morning.
That's why western countries can never have the share bike idea.
They tried having shared bikes in some cities in the West and found that people were MISCHIEVIOUSLY and PURPOSELY DUMPING them into rivers, streams, drains and everywhere. No respect for others - that's the problem.
What is the west? That's like saying the blacks or the Asians!
I'm in a westernised country, are you speaking for me?
@@Ultra-Violet , do I have to be so specific? BTW, what is your IQ rating?
@@hengongchua6250 because the west is over a billion people in multiple countries with different customs, ideologies, communities etc
If you can't see why your statement means nothing then get your iq evaluated 👍🏻
@@Ultra-VioletLook at how many comments you have sent, why do you hate China so much, you can not look at ah, sent so many smearing comments, more convinced that you are paid
you guys did great for a first trip! lots of people can't even figure out the bikes and those are a great way to see a city. also props to trying out a lot of street food although you should just eat more at local sit downs so you can try out real homestyle dishes. when you visit again, you should post ahead of time so maybe you might be able to get a local to show you around for a bit when time allows.
It takes courage to report on the real situation of tourism in China, especially positive reports about China. Some people may not want to see the positive side of China. Thank you to the blogger for always being able to shoot videos about China's beauty❤
现在西方人开始觉醒，大部分到过中国之后的西方人都持正面评价。
@@cnxiaoma今年油管评论区舆论比以前好了很多很多
I’m totally agree with you, I have been in China around 10 times, the first time was when my son graduated from college, and now he is almost 50. China is safe anywhere, convenience on everything, cheap and delicious foods, friendly people, beautiful sightseeing places, a country that you should visit at least once in your lifetime. By the way, I have never walked in the street after midnight in California.
Yes 100% agree ❤️👍
China is wonderful, historic and futuristic. Politics maybe inconvenient for the Western world and No government or politics is all clean and perfect but for a Massive country and population like China it works well.
How I wish to travel around China and ride those superb HSR trains.
Keep exploring China
Your new subscriber 😎
Big tip for you guys... DO NOT come to China during national holidays from October 1-7 (Golden week). Never travel China or try to visit tourist attractions during their big holidays, there will be so many people (more than usual) you will end up hating the place. LOL. If you're going to Chengdu and Sichuan province, you should also go to the cyberpunk city of Chongqing... but better level up on your spice tolerance first.
On the contrary, the crowd sometime make you feel happy too
但是 如果是10月8日 开始你的反相旅行，那就是最完美的，景点人少，还能感觉到人潮刚刚退去的余温
节假日可以去中国的农村或者小城市，绝对会有惊喜
National days ( First 10 days in October) Chinese New Year(varied in January and February) Labour days ( first few days in May) now people added in few day after 8th July?????? (reason is after the exam all the children and parents go to holiday for few days, i dont know it is true or not)
@wangleo6788 那可不一定。外國洋人一般而言 習慣了歐美加紐澳那種地廣人稀的環境，忽然要人擠人 一定會不習慣甚至…
Only six days, you have uploaded so many vedios. I become more and more love to watch your vedios.
Well said! My family moved to the States when I was young and now I am settled in the UK - I completely agree that you gotta see with your own eyes to form our own opinions and make sense of the world we live in. It always p* me off when people comment without ever visiting a place / country, are quick to judge, and disagree for the sake of it. Nowhere is perfect but if we can all learn from one another, we will all be at a much better place. I highly recommend Shanghai, Guangzhou/Shenzhen, and Chengdu, but if you want to go somewhere less known that will blow your mind (as it absolutely got everything) try my hometown DALIAN in the northeastern part of China, ideally between May to October. All the best to you both and I hope that you will continue to explore, experience, love, and spread the love!
💯💯❤️
Positive and true views always bring happiness both sides of these so called false propagandas.
Problems are everywhere and every society but it doesn't mean nefarious agendas.
Understanding among all societies is very important.
Thanks for conveying truth and only truth.
💯💯❤️❤️
Great points of views, thanks for sharing your experience and making these vlogs.
I moved to work in the UK 3 years ago for some reason wanted to see&experience how the life is in this developed country. But I must admit I was unaware how lucky I am to be born&live in China until I hear how you guys see China. I just took it for granted. It is extremely safe in China, food, transportation is extremely affordable, super efficient public transport, the lovely night street… I am missing everything there so much.
It not all that is it lol
China welcomes kind and honest tourists from all over the world.
Beijing is called by us Chinese as a gastronomy desert, which means there is no delicious local food, the most famous Peking duck in Beijing was also passed down from Nanjing in the south (Ming Dynasty), haha.😂Also, don't come to China in early October, China's National Day holiday is from October 1st to October 7th, half of the Chinese people are traveling in the country, the crowds are everywhere.
They are from UK, that's all.
I have been to all over the places in China, Beijing has the best variety of foods.
@@justsoso8 LOL
@@traveler1683true but mostly not local foods
@@traveler1683 Sorry, no. Almost all other provinces have better food than Beijing.
Thanks guys , I’ve always been sceptical but this video eases my mind ❤
Yes, China is very suitable for life, so more and more people are going to travel. Because having authentic videos like yours can defeat Western lie media.
Some cameras are used to collect road information for macro traffic management.
They been doing that for years in the USA and other countries and if you run a red light you'll be getting a ticket in the mail.
yep, those at crossroad
They are paid to comment on your videos to comment that you are being paid by China to visit China 😂
You got great positive energy. Thank you for bringing us to see the real China🎉❤😊
Thanks for providing the nice and true colour of China. Enjoy your trips guys 😊
Thank you so much 😊❤️
I am a Singaporean living in Singapore and visiting UK frequently.
Thank you both very very much for sharing your first hand experience encountered during the 144 hours in China.
Both of you are really good and kind in nature.
Thank you very much for making this world a better place to live for all mankind. I sincerely wish you both well and happy always. ❤❤
We love you 😘 where have you visited in the U.K.?
Since 1981, except for 2020 -22, I have been travelling ( "self drive" ) the length and breath of Britain.
I've been to your lovely hometown , Portsmouth! ! I've also been to Southern coastal towns in the South such as Bournemouth, Poole, Swanage , Plymouth and Torquay as well as the Isles of White. I have been to the "Fisherman's Walk" (
During the Autumn and Spring seasons, I most often travel to Scotland where I enjoy the wilderness of the Trossachs , Loch Lomond , Inverness, Fort William/Glencoe, the Borders and Isle of Skye.
Don't worry about the haters becoz to them the truth hurts. Just be yourself and speak the truth and the truth will set you free. Be safe and God bless you both mightily.
💯💯❤️
Don't worry about those rumors, we believe everything you see and hear is true.
Love people who has guts to speak up the truth
Looking forward to seeing your future China travels
Love your honesty and perspective!!
Just love your guys,hope you get back to China again, I will follow your journey ❤
Hi guys, glad you enjoyed travelling around China. I’m Chinese born and raised in Portsmouth. Brought up in the 70’s and 80’s and did not feel welcome at all. I was also fed by the Western media and bought up disliking China. My whole perception changed when I lived and traveled there. You are right, you’ll only know what the truth when you have love in your heart.
Amazing play up pompey 💙 we have a little following now and we will do are absolute best to spread positivity. Living in the west until we started traveling we didn’t realise how the media is really done there best in turning us against different countries.
Don't go to China in the first week of October.That's the public holiday. Tons of people everywhere.Price much higher for the hotel as well 😂
Or the Chinese New Year...
I liked this couple after 10 seconds, you can tell they are genuine people, ordinary people that are describing things indeed as they could feel and see them on site. People who criticize China usually can't locate it in a map, let alone say they have been there.
@@HyperLinguist-AI 💯💯❤️❤️
love you guys❤
Welcome to China and get to know the real China.
The Western society habitually views the world from an ideological perspective, just like religion. A society that is different from itself is an anomaly and must be opposed.
Socialism may be a relatively fair society compared to capitalism.
I believe that there is no perfect pattern in human society, and experiments should be conducted to find the most suitable form of society for humanity. Nowadays, capitalism in the West has stopped evolving, while China continues to evolve and change, taking a different social form from the West. If China succeeds, it can provide experience for other countries to reform their societies.
I think it has more to do with the people running the system rather than the system its self.
Totally agreed.
The 1% wealthy people don’t like this idea. 😊
Agree, doesn’t matter what systems. It has to do with the leadership of the country.
@@zhiyu1778 🤭
Great couple, great vids! I'm a Brit from Manchester and have been living in China for the last 18 years. During those 18 years my sister in Manchester has been home-jacked twice and car-jacked three times, my mum in Stockport has been burgled once. I have never been the victim of any crime and I have never herd of anyone's house being broke into. Does China have crime? Of course, but nowhere near the scale that England does.
The over-riding domestic strategy over here is 'harmonious co-existence' it sounds flowery but it basically means cohesion in society. There are propaganda signs all around that promote this (you may have seen the long red banners with white characters). The idea is that a peaceful, low crime society is a healthy one that can thrive.
Thank you mate we really appreciate it since we’ve been traveling over the last year we have been robbed in South America but never had any problems what so ever in asia and without a doubt China is the country we feel safest. Growing up In pompey on the south coast it’s a tough city full of working class people. Back when I was a teenager I got in a lot of trouble and lots of fighting. Was just a normal thing. Although I think it’s a lot better I’m so glad we’re seeing the world and living this life. Although I believe there are good and bad everywhere. The gap between the rich and the poor is bigger than ever especially in the U.K. and people are getting desperate and drugs alcoholism and suicide are all time high. Make me so sad to see this.
Anyway rant over 😂
Take care mate ❤️
beautiful scenary,top notch transportation and infras,nice food and friendly peoples,affordable prices and above all is the safety.❤ China.

I am so admiring you both to show people what you saw in China. Yes, you Will believe what you see, not from the toxic , fake major western media. Great job and l line to follow your channel and see more.
Welcome on board 😊❤️💯
Based on my knowledge English is the most spoken language in the world, with Mandarin second. There are two main languages in China, the other being Cantonese. In addition, apparently there are 400 million English speakers in China. I have lived in Beijing for 8 years and I agree with your assessment of China, the culture, food, people and public transport are first class. All of my experiences have been positive, which is why I chose to live here (I am also from the UK, Skegness to be exact). Enjoy your time here.
Yes I believe that to be true
Thank you to your honest commented, welcome back to China soon.
P/S : Please, please stay away from China the 1st week of October. (Our National big holidays) 😃
Sometimes, the bustling atmosphere during Chinese holidays can also be a rare experience and spectacle
@@Tiauhui Ya, unless you want this experience then come and join us. Mind you, you will pay more on everything (hotels, restaurants, travels ) due to high seasons.
还是不要了吧，国庆酒店价格高，到处都是人，景点要排队，吃饭要排队，到处塞车，能避开的何必呢？
@@Tiauhui然後你會後悔
love you guys! welcome back to China again. 😎
Thanks for sharing the love, peaceful thoughts and fairness with us, we appreciate your honest opinions;) love from a Chinese boy who lived in Australia for 8 yrs.
You are right. China is very peaceful and safe. Also thanks to all those nice cameras. There is no stealing, there are never any murders, no rapes. It also seems that they have no police because they are not needed. That is how peaceful and safe China is. Really unbelievable. I know a few Dutch people who have been there often for their work for 25 years. Those liars tell completely different stories.
@@Robterdammer 💯💯❤️
@@OTWD_yt Irony is a misunderstood concept in America I understand. LOL
Welcome to my hometown Chengdu. We have a panda named Huahua. She is a super female star in China. But you have to queue for a long time to see it. Hahaha
As a Chinese，welcome to China.❤
Thank you 😊

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
Do NOT travel in China during the period 1 October to 7 October of every year. All tickets for trains, tourist attractions, and public transport will be either unavailable or over-crowded by 1.45 billion people. It may take you 1 hour to walk 200 meters on a busy street in the cities. All means of transport will be overwhelmed by people traveling domestically on their "golden week" holidays.
