After having travelled to several different parts of China, what's your opinion(s) regarding the food, the people, the transportation, the infrastructure there? What about the cashless payment there? Will you be travelling to China again as it's a vast country?
Do you think China has become too commercialized, with many similar commercial streets in major cities? What is your view on these commercial streets? Would you visit China again? If so, where would you choose to go? Glaubst du, dass China zu kommerzialisiert ist, mit vielen ähnlichen Geschäftsstraßen in großen Städten? Wie siehst du diese Geschäftsstraßen? Würdest du noch einmal nach China reisen? Wenn ja, welche Orte würdest du besuchen?
the room in Singapore Sand hotel are definitely better however this hotel has more facilities so it balance out in term of experience. I like that you are still hanging out with your peers. travelling together is always fun.
Do you find that the mainstream media portrays a totally different perspective of China than what you experienced? Did you find that the negativity around China is overblown?
Ken, it is not a fake Paris hotel, it is a Paris-themed hotel-casino. If you are going to Las Vegas in the US. You will see themed hotels like Caesars Palace (Italian), and Luxor (ancient Egyptian )...
The area you are in now is an economic corridor in China, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, which is equivalent to California in the United States. There are three first-tier cities here, namely Hongkong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. The new line has Dongguan, the second line has Huizhou with a population of nearly 70 million.
It's indeed amazing to treat yourself to a luxurious and posh hotel after such hard work of filming and editing. You deserved it, Ken. Wow and more wow...what a super beautiful lobby !! A bunch of thanks for the room tour. It's nice, cozy, spacious but too bad that the bed is a bit hard for you. Anyway, thanks again for showing us around that "fake" Parisian Hotel....yeah, it's like we are in Paris, France...enjoyed tagging along 👍👏

Both big cities and small cities in China have basically gone through thousands of years of cultural accumulation. I hope you have fun in China. If you can, welcome to my hometown Hebei. Hebei surrounds Beijing and Tianjin. It has very convenient transportation and is the province with the most complete landscape in China.🎉
Yr tour in Macau is awesome, Ken. Tq, tq for showing us the look alike tower of Pisa. I m attracted to the dessert n pork in a bun. Looks yummy... yummy. Since u highly recommended Macau a visit one shld take, which I think u like the tour in Macau. Waiting for more China videos. Happy touring, Ken. 👍👍
I have been lived Macau around 15 years, I can tell you, Macau people are much happier than Hong Kong people for one country and two political system, Macau has trived greatly and have benefited from it tremendously since united with mainland China. We are the pefect example for Taiwan
I like your videos very much! Everyday I hope to watch your videos! You are honest, pure, fair and down to earth! Very nice! Hope you enjoy your trip in China! And go to more beautiful places in China 🎉🎉
I like these videos too. The rural trips you take are great. Seeing how people live in their communities/countries are very informational. But every once and awhile, and baller videos is cool too.😂
Unlike the British who took Hong Kong as a spoil of the Opium War, Macau was leased from China in 1557 for payment of an annual rent. The Portuguese tried to change the leasehold status to one of Portuguese territory without success until 1887 when the Chinese agreed to recognise it as Portuguese. It was handed over to China in 1999.
British Colonialism was responsible for many of our past and current political conflicts and animosities- case and point Isreal and Palestine ( Balfour Accords).
The Portuguese just walk aways don't meddling make trouble after hand Macau back to China. Unlike the Brit can't leave HK alone keep instigate trouble after hand back to China.
@@first-gordonchang9510 Which is why I guess China left Macau the way it was, with much less interference than it had with HK. You hardly hear about Macau in the news but HK was always on my TV screen from protests, to riots to I don't know what else.
Yeah I thought he was referring to the Paris they built in a random town in China 😂. But I lived in Vegas for a long time and live in Beijing now so I am interested because I wanna go there soon!
Been to Macau many years ago. They didn’t have the Eiffel Tower and the surrounding development those days. Macau is surely a place worth visit especially the casino area. It’s beautiful with the casino lights on after dark.
American here. We have that Eiffel Tower in Vegas where I just was. Part of the casino hotel Paris. Yet no one ever bothers to make a video titled fake Paris in vegas.
He has become little jealous these days. They more he explores China, the more he feels embarrassed because west is just hype, there is virtually nothing in the west that's comparable to China.
Thank you!!! I just wrote the same thing. His western bias slips in sometimes and it’s quite irritating. The hotel is called the Parisian Macau hotel, why does he feel the need to continue to call it “fake Paris”? Smh
Kudos to you Ken, for your non-biased and open-minded reporting on modern-day China. What we have forgotten was China and the US were allies in WW2.; in resisting Imperial Japan. The US highly subsidies China in hopes of encouraging democracy (Cheung Kai Shek). When China chose Communism as Mao took control, the two countries became bitter rivals.
This area is not a colony. In fact, the Ming Dynasty and Portugal were once an alliance to deal with pirates in the South China Sea. This place was given to Portugal as a reward by the emperor at the time.

I am sorry for that, and maybe you can have your Bilibili account the. you can upload your own vedios(better with Chinese translations)!

sehr gutes Video! Das Essen, das du fragst ist gewürzte Rübe.😊 das gibt es in Deutschland nicht,aber super lecker, hoffe es gefällt dir 😀 beste Gruesse aus einer Chinesin die seit langem in Deutschland lebt :)
lovely, takes me back in time when i visited Las Vegas, :-), stayed in Excalibur Hotel, nice one if you are going there in the future :-). thanks for the info and the tour . :-)
Room is certainly vey nice. But, somehow, I was expecting it to just blow my mind; it doesn't seem to. I was thinking of hotels in Quebec or Banff. The $150 charge it rather inexpensive. Looks very hazy. Is that fog or smog? Great vid, as usual.
Just came across this set of videos for first time, after spending a few years watching other vloggers. Very impressed with the excellent presentation and you're so positive and friendly with local people etc and trying new things. We were in Macao last December and were amazed by the place and visited that hotel, just for a coffee, which was good. I didn't realise the price for a room was quite as reasonable, as we'd visited an hotel in Sanya (just for coffee) which was over 2000 yuan per night. Guess this was how Marco Polo reacted when he went to China, in 13th Century.
Las Vegas also has a Paris Casino/Hotel with a 1/2 scale replica of the Eiffel Tower. This Casino/Hotel in Macau was funded by Las Vegas Sands, an American company.
There's nothing "fake" about the Parisian Hotel in the same way there isn't anything fake about the Brandenburg Gate in your native Germany, even though it's a copy the Propylaea of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. The hotel is owned by Las Vegas Sands (which has a similar property in Vegas); replicating famous monuments is not unique to China, yet the term "fake," driven by racist stereotypes, is only associated with China in the westerner's mindset.
My paternal grandmother was born in Macau and married my grandfather in Guangzhou. I have relatives in Macau, HK, Guangzhou, Shanghai and different cities of USA. I’ve been to Macau in 2001 right after the handover from Portugal. My paternal uncle (my father’s cousin) was a senator in the 1999 handover ceremony in Macau. If you watch the handover ceremony in 1999 and the inauguration ceremony, you can see a tall and slim male with gray hair. That is my paternal uncle. When we were in Macau visiting my paternal relatives, there weren’t as many casinos. Now they added more casinos. The food is still Cantonese cuisine but with some Portuguese twist, such as the Portuguese egg tart (a little sweeter than the Cantonese egg tart version).
Hey Ken, big fan of your content! 29:34 is actually a pickled daikon radish! It's not traditionally taiwanese, mostly found in Japanese or Korean foods.
Pickled daikon radish醃蘿卜 is a traditional Chinese food. It is also the technique of Chinese food. Only ancient China has this food. Today "fake"Japanese and Korean food are mixed with traditional Chinese food and other countries. Traditional Japanese food is only fresh seafood, sushi, and (white rice and noodles with Chinese food). Traditional Korean food is only fresh seafood. (White rice and kimchi is Chinese food).
I don’t follow your channel for long now and I want to travel to China myself. So I have a question: How do you afford this? Like for me the holiday times wouldn’t allow this.
What a wonderful meet up with Steve and Ivana in Macau and trying the famous milk pudding. An awesome walk about in beautiful Macau city center and the old fort. I have a good laugh when you, Ken said that back in Germany, canon will be full of trash 😅 Another great experience, trying some luck at the casino. Ken, l think that white piece of thing from that Taiwanese minced pork rice is pickled radish. Hope to see you travel to Taiwan soon. Wow, such a lovely night view from your room balcony. Thanks, Ken for always having great content. You show us so much and you teach us so much. I always love ❤️ your amazing videos. Keep it up, Ken 💪🫰💞
@@Seanney25582he meant all Westerner vlogger won't be calling those is fake but anything that built or make by Chinese especially this hotel(clearly named Parisian Macau hotel) is called fake/copy. Since his XJ video, the way he presenting seem to go south. Picturing the patrol car as if he were in Middle East.
Ken - The yellow thing is daikon, it's a pickled radish that's quite common in Japanese food, but popular in Taiwanese cuisine also (due to Japan's occupation, and thus influence over its cuisine). (interesting videos btw!)
As a Chinese person that has lived both in China and abroad, I would definitely recommend visiting Shenzhen, next to Hong Kong (the only first tier city you haven't visited, alongside Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou). It is also worth while visiting some smaller cities if you want to get the whole picture of China, but be warned it could be challenging because potentially less people speak English there. Typically bigger cities and coastal cities in the south and east of China are more developed and wealthier, cities inland especially in the north and west are typically industrial cities and less developed, but the infrastructure would be similar. Inland cities like Zhengzhou, Shenyang, Chengdu and Changsha are also good choices (first two more typical inland cities, last two are inland cities with better developed tourism).
8:48 The beds in China are traditionally hard but I wouldn’t necessarily assume it would be so there! Good to know. As others said, it’s more of a Paris-themed hotel than a fake version of the city itself… it’s cool to see that besides the bed, the quality seems the same as in Vegas! Appreciate this video & the transparency about paying for the view.
When you sleep on a soft mattress, your body may sink too deeply into the surface, causing your spine to curve unnaturally. This can lead to back pain, muscle stiffness, and joint discomfort. But if you are already suffering from back pain, then a soft mattress do provide more relief for these people. People who sleep on their stomach and back tends to prefer firm bed and those who sleep on their sides, soft bed.
The yellow food item, that’s pickled radish. It’s kinda like an appertiser as most ppl find sourish food improve their appetite. Also common in japanese cuisine I love Tsingtao. Tsingtao has its history as a german beer, but of course over the years the taste has been updated. But I still love it
Love this 😂. I lived in Las Vegas for a long time and their Eiffel Tower is pretty cool. I can’t wait to visit Macau to compare 😍 (Edited because I thought you were at a different fake Eiffel Tower, haha)
Another impressive video. Hey Ken, did you taste Germen in your first "Chinese beer"? In fact, that beer was more Germen than Chinese. It should taste Germen lager 100 years ago.
I'm a bit confused on your timeline. The previous one I saw is Xinjiang, Urumqi. So Macau was before you visited Urumqi? Is the hotel rate $150 in USD or Mecanese pataca?
I've watched many videos taken from you about China and they were really interesting and informative. I think I could make up my mind to go back to my own country and make it even more beautiful. I was in south part of Germany and I was shocked by the travelling experience close to Lindau and Friedrichshafen, where these were all quite beautiful cities with Alps as backgrounds and Bodensee. High Tech places + Nature, wish me I can do that and make that happen also in China.
Are German language guides available in China? Can international hotel staff in China speak German? Are services available in German at Chinese airports?
26:05 Tsingtao (Qingdao) was German colony. Tsingtao Brewery was founded by German. However Germany lost the wars. It lost everything in the far east. Maybe you would like to visit Tsingtao (Qingdao) as the local people still thank the Germans for building the advanced sewage system they still using today. Ironically people remember Macau was Portuguese and Hong Kong was British. No one remembers Tsingtao (Qingdao) was Germans nor Canton (Guangzhou) was French.
WOW... These are excellent journeys... I am in a wheel chair so can not make these trips sadly... I was in Vietnam for the war as a Marine... what a time there... at least I survived,,,
Your videos are very interesting!😃 I've watched almost all the videos about China today haha. My hometown is Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China, which is also the birthplace of the most famous Chinese Kung Fu, maybe you've heard of "Shaolin Temple"? Haha, you are welcome to visit Henan Province, I can entertain you!💗
Nice video Ken BUT the use of "fake Paris ... " is kinda derogatory. it is just a scale down replica of the Eiffel tower..Replicas of world monuments or other landmarks can be found around the world.
Welcome to China as a guest. This may be a bit presumptuous. I would like to ask if you have any plans to travel to China in the future, as we will have some holidays in the future. I also have travel plans, maybe we can meet by chance. Places like Chengdu, Chongqing, Changsha (although you may not like them，Because these places tend to eat spicy food, Chengdu has a giant panda base), as well as Guilin, Kunming, Xishuangbanna, Shangri La, and so on

I want explain to you they move your vedios because they like your vedio and they added translation. As you know, China need VPN and most people don’t speak English, so most people can’t reach your vedios on TH-cam. But Bilibili show Chinese how good how calm you are, you are liked by many Bilibili users.
There is also such one "fake paris hotel" in Las Vegas.
The trio🎉🎉🎉
sehr gutes Video! Das Essen, das du fragst ist gewürzte Rübe.😊 das gibt es in Deutschland nicht,aber super lecker, hoffe es gefällt dir 😀 beste Gruesse aus einer Chinesin die seit langem in Deutschland lebt :)
Hi Ken try the rice pudding with strawberry or another jam in it it tast even better
lovely, takes me back in time when i visited Las Vegas, :-), stayed in Excalibur Hotel, nice one if you are going there in the future :-). thanks for the info and the tour . :-)
Macau brings in 28 billion in revenue. Vegas only brings in 6 billion.
Room is certainly vey nice. But, somehow, I was expecting it to just blow my mind; it doesn't seem to. I was thinking of hotels in Quebec or Banff. The $150 charge it rather inexpensive. Looks very hazy. Is that fog or smog? Great vid, as usual.
Ken is very humble
I like
Xinjiang tour vlog is over？
Reminds me of the Marriott I stayed in Jakarta Indonesia
Just came across this set of videos for first time, after spending a few years watching other vloggers. Very impressed with the excellent presentation and you're so positive and friendly with local people etc and trying new things. We were in Macao last December and were amazed by the place and visited that hotel, just for a coffee, which was good. I didn't realise the price for a room was quite as reasonable, as we'd visited an hotel in Sanya (just for coffee) which was over 2000 yuan per night. Guess this was how Marco Polo reacted when he went to China, in 13th Century.
Las Vegas also has a Paris Casino/Hotel with a 1/2 scale replica of the Eiffel Tower. This Casino/Hotel in Macau was funded by Las Vegas Sands, an American company.
There's nothing "fake" about the Parisian Hotel in the same way there isn't anything fake about the Brandenburg Gate in your native Germany, even though it's a copy the Propylaea of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. The hotel is owned by Las Vegas Sands (which has a similar property in Vegas); replicating famous monuments is not unique to China, yet the term "fake," driven by racist stereotypes, is only associated with China in the westerner's mindset.
Paris hotel in vegas: themed hotel
Paris hotel in macau: FAKE hotel
😂
My paternal grandmother was born in Macau and married my grandfather in Guangzhou. I have relatives in Macau, HK, Guangzhou, Shanghai and different cities of USA. I’ve been to Macau in 2001 right after the handover from Portugal. My paternal uncle (my father’s cousin) was a senator in the 1999 handover ceremony in Macau. If you watch the handover ceremony in 1999 and the inauguration ceremony, you can see a tall and slim male with gray hair. That is my paternal uncle. When we were in Macau visiting my paternal relatives, there weren’t as many casinos. Now they added more casinos. The food is still Cantonese cuisine but with some Portuguese twist, such as the Portuguese egg tart (a little sweeter than the Cantonese egg tart version).
Thx for sharing
Hey Ken, big fan of your content! 29:34 is actually a pickled daikon radish! It's not traditionally taiwanese, mostly found in Japanese or Korean foods.
😊also in Chinese foods, like pickled cucumber, mustard head
Pickled daikon radish醃蘿卜 is a traditional Chinese food. It is also the technique of Chinese food. Only ancient China has this food.
Today "fake"Japanese and Korean food are mixed with traditional Chinese food and other countries.
Traditional Japanese food is only fresh seafood, sushi, and (white rice and noodles with Chinese food).
Traditional Korean food is only fresh seafood. (White rice and kimchi is Chinese food).
@@barbiebarbie1813 I believe so
Seems to be great episode, going to watch 😊
Ken, I am a friend from Jiangxi, China. I like your videos very much. They are real and interesting
Thank you 🙏
I don’t follow your channel for long now and I want to travel to China myself.
So I have a question: How do you afford this? Like for me the holiday times wouldn’t allow this.
China probably offers the best value for money. Especially for travellers.
What a wonderful meet up with Steve and Ivana in Macau and trying the famous milk pudding. An awesome walk about in beautiful Macau city center and the old fort. I have a good laugh when you, Ken said that back in Germany, canon will be full of trash 😅 Another great experience, trying some luck at the casino. Ken, l think that white piece of thing from that Taiwanese minced pork rice is pickled radish. Hope to see you travel to Taiwan soon. Wow, such a lovely night view from your room balcony. Thanks, Ken for always having great content. You show us so much and you teach us so much. I always love ❤️ your amazing videos. Keep it up, Ken 💪🫰💞
That room is for poor people, not ordinary Chinese!
😅 just a normal room, why u say that?
They have that Paris theme hotel in Las Vegas also
But they won’t call it fake, only if it’s done by Chinese then it will be fake.
@@MRT-co1sd the one in Vegas is also fake
@@Seanney25582he meant all Westerner vlogger won't be calling those is fake but anything that built or make by Chinese especially this hotel(clearly named Parisian Macau hotel) is called fake/copy.
Since his XJ video, the way he presenting seem to go south. Picturing the patrol car as if he were in Middle East.
4:35 does the toilet have a bidet aka bum gun? 😅
29:36 This is pickled with turnip，腌黄萝卜
the milk pudding is my fav as well! There have to be two layers of “milk skin” made from the boiled milk cooling down
Jacques-Louis David, The Coronation of Napoleon, 1805-07, oil on canvas, 621 x 979 cm (Musée du Louvre, Paris)
Ken - The yellow thing is daikon, it's a pickled radish that's quite common in Japanese food, but popular in Taiwanese cuisine also (due to Japan's occupation, and thus influence over its cuisine).
(interesting videos btw!)
As a Chinese person that has lived both in China and abroad, I would definitely recommend visiting Shenzhen, next to Hong Kong (the only first tier city you haven't visited, alongside Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou). It is also worth while visiting some smaller cities if you want to get the whole picture of China, but be warned it could be challenging because potentially less people speak English there. Typically bigger cities and coastal cities in the south and east of China are more developed and wealthier, cities inland especially in the north and west are typically industrial cities and less developed, but the infrastructure would be similar. Inland cities like Zhengzhou, Shenyang, Chengdu and Changsha are also good choices (first two more typical inland cities, last two are inland cities with better developed tourism).
XDDDD laugh out loud moment when Ken goes searching for a Chicken! for the first 5 mins..... i had subtitles on and Ken had a 40min chicken experience
Thank you for showing Macau.
8:48 The beds in China are traditionally hard but I wouldn’t necessarily assume it would be so there! Good to know.
As others said, it’s more of a Paris-themed hotel than a fake version of the city itself… it’s cool to see that besides the bed, the quality seems the same as in Vegas!
Appreciate this video & the transparency about paying for the view.
Chinese people prefer harder beds to soft ones because the former are kind of ergonomic, preventing your back from sagging all night. :)
When you sleep on a soft mattress, your body may sink too deeply into the surface, causing your spine to curve unnaturally. This can lead to back pain, muscle stiffness, and joint discomfort. But if you are already suffering from back pain, then a soft mattress do provide more relief for these people. People who sleep on their stomach and back tends to prefer firm bed and those who sleep on their sides, soft bed.
Is this tower same size as the one in Las Vegas?
The yellow food item, that’s pickled radish. It’s kinda like an appertiser as most ppl find sourish food improve their appetite. Also common in japanese cuisine
I love Tsingtao. Tsingtao has its history as a german beer, but of course over the years the taste has been updated. But I still love it
Love this 😂. I lived in Las Vegas for a long time and their Eiffel Tower is pretty cool. I can’t wait to visit Macau to compare 😍
(Edited because I thought you were at a different fake Eiffel Tower, haha)
Another impressive video. Hey Ken, did you taste Germen in your first "Chinese beer"? In fact, that beer was more Germen than Chinese. It should taste Germen lager 100 years ago.
It’s Tsingtao beer青岛啤酒. And the city Qingdao青岛 was a German colony before WWI. Guess that’s why.
I'm a bit confused on your timeline. The previous one I saw is Xinjiang, Urumqi. So Macau was before you visited Urumqi? Is the hotel rate $150 in USD or Mecanese pataca?
Also confused. It must be 150 USD. Macau has high consumption
I've watched many videos taken from you about China and they were really interesting and informative.
I think I could make up my mind to go back to my own country and make it even more beautiful.
I was in south part of Germany and I was shocked by the travelling experience close to Lindau and Friedrichshafen, where these were all quite beautiful cities with Alps as backgrounds and Bodensee.
High Tech places + Nature, wish me I can do that and make that happen also in China.
I am glad you found the chicken no probs...chicken experience!😂😂❤
There's another bigger Eiffel Tower in another city in China which is based on Paris called Hangzhou
Are German language guides available in China? Can international hotel staff in China speak German? Are services available in German at Chinese airports?
If you ever get a chance to stay in the Wynn tower suites in Las Vegas, you'll be very happy.
which place are you in china
This is Macau China
Imagine if America did this with lots of world monuments and put them all in the Nevada desert!
26:05 Tsingtao (Qingdao) was German colony. Tsingtao Brewery was founded by German. However Germany lost the wars. It lost everything in the far east. Maybe you would like to visit Tsingtao (Qingdao) as the local people still thank the Germans for building the advanced sewage system they still using today. Ironically people remember Macau was Portuguese and Hong Kong was British. No one remembers Tsingtao (Qingdao) was Germans nor Canton (Guangzhou) was French.
29:38 Pickled radish. Yellow is dyed. Its origin is from Japan.
This city is way better than Paris
FIRST 10 NOICE I have never come this early ! ! !
The yellow thing you ate is a pickled Daikin radish. It's used in kimbop alot.
WOW... These are excellent journeys... I am in a wheel chair so can not make these trips sadly... I was in Vietnam for the war as a Marine... what a time there... at least I survived,,,
Your videos are very interesting!😃 I've watched almost all the videos about China today haha. My hometown is Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China, which is also the birthplace of the most famous Chinese Kung Fu, maybe you've heard of "Shaolin Temple"? Haha, you are welcome to visit Henan Province, I can entertain you!💗
Nice video Ken BUT the use of "fake Paris ... " is kinda derogatory. it is just a scale down replica of the Eiffel tower..Replicas of world monuments or other landmarks can be found around the world.
When are you gonna make that Shenzhen video?
it’s not fake. it has the proper license to build the replica of EF tower
There's aother " Fake Paris hotel in Las Vegas ! ! and you don't know these 2 hotels are own by the same casino company ! ! ??
Caesars Entertainment owns both Paris hotels in Vegas and Macau. MGM has big casino in Macau too.
Welcome to China as a guest. This may be a bit presumptuous. I would like to ask if you have any plans to travel to China in the future, as we will have some holidays in the future. I also have travel plans, maybe we can meet by chance. Places like Chengdu, Chongqing, Changsha (although you may not like them，Because these places tend to eat spicy food, Chengdu has a giant panda base), as well as Guilin, Kunming, Xishuangbanna, Shangri La, and so on
Yes , I read once where 94% were losers at the gaming casinos . I guess they know if you are a newbie and you may win to get you hook . Your buddy tie-dye shirt look good and I think I had similar in 1968 ,along with my bell bottom pants . They were the good ol days . Too be cool was facial hair and long hair and your jeans and you were good to go . Thanks ken , good video
correct me if I was wrong, some of the hotels are buffet included, you can eat for free of you went into the casino there
for macau hotels rooms.... in terms of size nothing beat venetian rooms....its HUGE....
