i love your china vlogs sooo muchhh , it's so aesthetic and calming !! i hope you do another china vlogs with different city so i can't have idea for cafe hopping, restaurant and different things to do in china ! and i want to know if they have a lot of vegetarian/vegan restaurant in china ?
Yes! There will definitely be future China vlogs :) I personally haven't seen many vegetarian / vegan food restaurants in China except for ones focused on Western cuisine, but there's definitely a lot of vegetable dishes that are at least vegetarian. Then again, it's not something I specifically look for when I'm traveling there, so there could be more than I think!
Yes! For popular cafes / restaurants, I looked for spots on Xiaohongshu (小红书)--it's Chinese social media though, so if you don't read Chinese, you might need to do a lot of translating back and forth. Otherwise I used a combination of Gaode Maps (高德地图), which is only in Chinese, and Apple Maps for English when I was really struggling 😅
We got our tickets ahead of time on WeChat since it was a peak travel day, but at the time it was only in Mandarin. There's some third party sites selling tickets, though they're pretty marked up / I can't verify their authenticity! I did see somewhere it might be possible to get tickets at the gate, but I'd double check this if possible! Good luck!
We did a walk in on a weekend for dinner and there was plenty of seating! It’s a well-known chain restaurant so there’s also other locations in the city.

I love how cinematic it is compared to the usual annoying vloggers
thanks for watching, and glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this !! Do you recommend any app In particular to use to find the locations you visited in this trip?

Do you need to book the summer palace ticket online or they sell it on site?
