It’s so fun returning to China, Matt. My wife and I were able to spend nearly six weeks there late last year and early this year. Always new things to see and experience! Enjoy your time.
hi my friend, glad to see you back in china. my wife is from ningbo as well. enjoy family and friends and food! hope to meet you one day. greetings from Germany! ... my wife, my kids and i do annual health checks in ningbo as well. although services in Germany are not bad, we are impressed about how modern the facilities are, especally outpatient clinics.
I started following you right after you got hit by that truck many years ago (but after the fish tank videos). There are YT channels that show nothing but how bad life is in China. But there are other channels (like this channel) that show it's not all bad in China. Thanks Matt.
Lol, even metropolis like Shenzhen has changed a lot, during your "escape" from China, Shenzhen has finished building three more CBDs, not buildings, CBDs.
It certainly feels this way! China is like a country designed for modern living standards, whereas the US, in comparison, is like the world in Westworld or The Last of Us. I love the US for its feeling of wilder freedom, but I don't want to live forever in the wild.
@@thefourthrabbit9516well I promise you one thing you will absolutely never ever have a world where us is number two China is number one that will not happen or well. We'll be like the dinosaur.
I recognise some of the Ningbo spots. I used to live in Yinzhou area. Good times! We had the fortune of seeing some locals dry their laundry by hanging them on coat hangers in the trees outside our apartment building. No joke! 🙊
Oh there's not a thing he can say that would change anything. You got to remember in the US. We already see him one way. So his words will fall on deaf ears over here.
Love that use of "escape". I had a Chinese student once who told me that she "escaped school for a year" to study English. I just found that to be a fun way of expressing it!!
Great to see you back in China. It have been 6 yrs since I have been there. I worked in Weifang China for 2yrs in 2004 to 2006. You are right about the driving, and even more in a smaller town. Love Hot Pot too
I got a chance to drive a car in China last December, which was also my first time. I found the drivers in China seem to be more calm and chill than I expected even there are so many situations on the road, just like what you described in this video. My theory is that they have got used to so many unexpected driving behaviors that people have become more open to others on the road. This is so funny.
We have been going back to Ningbo these past 2 summers and I have the exact same feeling: Ningbo is quiet and not crowded unlike those tier-1 tourist cities. My parents’ home is near the Sam’s in Yinzhou and the shopping mall is pretty much empty. You don’t have to worry about finding a seat on subway. Enjoy your time and looking forward to more videos!
Just few years ago I had business trip to visit NingBo Port, on the express way from airport to sea port , miles after miles of factories spread to horizon must be millions of them, that's the mighty industrialized China looks like, totally stunning. Guess that what the first Japanese pearl harbour POWs have seen and felt when they were transported by amerian railway to east coast
Looks so clean there. I'm in Tacoma Washington now and some wandering zombie with a plastic bag on their head (to protect from rain?) just had to be pulled out of some guys vehicle by a lot cop that happened to be watching. Enjoy the massage 😜
That's how I felt as well going back to China. But there is always some dirtiness, chaos and madness along with the modern infrastructure and organized society. China is almost like if you merge Japan, Poland and South East Asia into a single country. The other day I complained on the internet about drug addicts wandering around where I live (Canada) and other Canadians were like that's normal for the downtown areas of big cities, what do you expect. It's not normal in East Asia or certain eastern European countries.
Hey Matt! I was just in China recently as well (Zhenjiang, Jiangsu and various cities in Xinjiang) but I actually love those AliPay bikes! You said the seats were too low but they're adjustable (took me a while to figure out). There are two quick-loosen systems, one that operates similar to a quick-release lever, and a larger more ergonomic lever that pulls up towards the seat. So true about road rage comparison, i drove around Xinjiang and i LOVED the lack of road rage. it actually changed the way i drive in Canada, i feel a lot less road rage now even when others are aggresive
This summer when I visited Nanchang, I got cold and felt headache after too much AC cold air. My sister drove me to hospital and ordered two CT scan, one blood test for me through emergency care. I was surprise thinking this is too much for just getting cold -- and this should take me easily 3 month waiting after two appointments at least here in US. However in Nanchang it took me less than one hour to finish head CT and Chest CT and blood test. I was told to come back after 2 hours for result, which we did. So after having dinner, roughly within 4 hours in total I got 2 huge CT scan film through the machine, doctor's analysis via reading the film and graph on PC, blood test result explanation, and of course medicine for my cold. In total it costed me ~660rmb without insurance. In US I don't know but I guess it can easily cost me $600 or more after Insurance. This is crazy cheap and fast in China!
China is where the government works for the people and Murica is where the government works for the corporations. That's why infrastructure and public convenience keep improving while in Murica bridges keep collapsing.
You can see the Murica government works on dominating the world desparately trying to contain China, not for its people. When they see some curves going momentarily, they will claim success. And the people still waiting for the fixes. The Murica internal leadership only plays numbers games and a bunch of BS. There is no growing anymore.
hey hey lucky for you, I rode bikes on the sidewalk in Shanghai and it was a straight 200 yuan penalty! 🤣🤣🤣 Chinese here btw, subscribed when in China and now studying medicine in the US. Love you content.
I did a similar thing in Thailand mixing up my words years ago. I asked a lady in shopping mall where I could get a handbag. What I didn't realise was I was actually asking her where could I get a testicle bag..... Apparently the words for both are quite similar but they have a different tone.....the joys of trying to learn a new language that's tonal.. 😂 😂 😂
Many shanghai people were originated from Ningbo, Shanghai dialect is deeply influenced by Ningbo dialect，because Shanghai was a fishing village 200 years ago, while Ningbo was a big city.
Initially, COVID-19 emerged, succeeded by a cost of living crisis, and subsequently, a global recession unfolded. Consequently, the Canton Fair seemed futile, and unsurprisingly, very few Europeans or Americans attended this year's event. This is particularly alarming as it portrays a grim forecast of impending developments.
Man you should have brought the trike Matt, I bet they would have been in Awh of that monster! I understand though just being there for 3 weeks I guess it wouldn’t be worth it especially if you arnt going to have much time to ride.
We have a serious problem with aggressive driving in the US and it takes seeing a place without that culture to open your eyes to it. I hope at some point there will be a campaign to change it, just like there was to stop smoking. Just a small change in culture would save thousands of lives.
I'm glad to watch your videos in China again. To be honest, I stopped watching your videos in the US because they are not very interesting. About the drinking... It's only in the US people get pissed off being cut off while driving. I saw people in Europe also changing lanes like crazy but that is normal to them. I think Americans need to learn to be calm like the rest of the world.
Makes me love centuries old European cities and narrow streets even more. And gosh how I miss your unfinished tour around the world by trike videos. I'm totally not interested in a stupid camper van for lazy asses. That ain't adventure. Ah well, being away from your wife and kid for months wasn't all that responsible either. No mystery why people criticized you when they read "I'm going back to China". They thought you would leave them behind again stuck in Trumponia.
man, i miss your videos about china. hope one day you guys will go back
Your volgs, just like normal Chinese street views, make people feel so extremely happy and comfortable. Well done 👍 bro!
I would just LOVE to go to China one day!!! Such a dream. So glad to see you smiling again Matt!
It’s so fun returning to China, Matt. My wife and I were able to spend nearly six weeks there late last year and early this year. Always new things to see and experience! Enjoy your time.
I can hear the joy in your voice and see twinkle in your eyes again, home feels good.
That's why we all say he's wumao.
Welcome back man!
Haha. Thanks brother
hi my friend, glad to see you back in china. my wife is from ningbo as well. enjoy family and friends and food! hope to meet you one day. greetings from Germany!
... my wife, my kids and i do annual health checks in ningbo as well. although services in Germany are not bad, we are impressed about how modern the facilities are, especally outpatient clinics.

Ningbo looked very modern and green! Great to see you back.
Lol, even metropolis like Shenzhen has changed a lot, during your "escape" from China, Shenzhen has finished building three more CBDs, not buildings, CBDs.
Why did he escape from China?😮
@@cnv2228 Lol. He didn't, he was joking in the video, so I honored him that.
What’s CBDs? I’m going to SZ today and I want to check those out 😂
So happy for you to have returned to China!
9:36 I think that is a bike bell, but it's broken. I have ridden them a few times. That was an interesting way to ring the bell.
I'm glad to see you back. It's always enjoyable watching your videos. - Ja Yoe
Cool to see Ningbo through your eyes.
Enjoy your stay.
Welcome back to civilisation

Matt lives in US with his wife and kid, I don’t think he’d appreciate the slight against the country they’re currently living in.
Authoritarian totalitarian police station.
@@thefourthrabbit9516well I promise you one thing you will absolutely never ever have a world where us is number two China is number one that will not happen or well. We'll be like the dinosaur.
@@blakedullard3455That's not true. You got to remember. We don't like him. In the US, anyone like him is considered a wumao.
Bro, your videos are awesome!!! keep them coming...
Welcome home Matt.. Missed your videos in China
Home Sweet Home
I recognise some of the Ningbo spots. I used to live in Yinzhou area. Good times!
We had the fortune of seeing some locals dry their laundry by hanging them on coat hangers in the trees outside our apartment building. No joke! 🙊
Ningbo Center - 409 meters tall (1340ft), definitely one of the tallest buildings in China (and World probably).
Nice to see you back in China where you’re genuinely happy from your expressions.
Welcome back Matt! It has been a few years since you, Annie and Eva are back home. keep preaching for peace and cooperations between the two peoples.
Love this comment! ❤
Oh there's not a thing he can say that would change anything. You got to remember in the US. We already see him one way. So his words will fall on deaf ears over here.
@@JessicaTheEngineerIt's not going to happen. It's not even an option.

Really loved the new years party you had at a pub . That was 2-3 years ago.
Your smiling face speaks everything！ Welcome back！
Glad to see you back and see your familiar smile.

You look young , healthy and happy after reunification with your family in the US.
Your family is your angels 😇!
The crank on the right handle is the bell. On the Hello Bikes they don't. usually work.. hahaha😂
Fun to see you in China again. wonderful
Welcome back!
China is where the government works for the people and Murica is where the government works for the corporations. That's why infrastructure and public convenience keep improving while in Murica bridges keep collapsing.
Hateful considering his wife and kid lives there. And Matt is only in China for a couple of weeks, so can you fuck off.
His wife and kid lives in America, don’t think he’d appreciate you being concieted insulting where they live.
@blakedullard3455 I don't think he'd mind. He has lived and seen both countries to know what's going on.
You can see the Murica government works on dominating the world desparately trying to contain China, not for its people. When they see some curves going momentarily, they will claim success.

So why do you keep using our social media platform?
Miss these types of vids bro!
Nice day, complete bank & phone transaction 👍
I ride hello ride bike every working day morning in Singapore! It is a fun experience!

So many happy feelings from this video. c:
So cool. Charge your battery.
Didn't you lose a drone on that building? The tallest one that is?
I've never heard of Ningbo. Is this considered 4-5th tier city? It sure looks nice though
one of the wealthiest cities in China and bueatiful.
The world's biggest and busiest container port is at Ningbo. A fully 5G controlled automated port handling the port ops.
😂That's what I will do health check, everytime when I in China. efficient and affordable.
That seemed to be the same way I feel when I was in Cambodia. People cut me off in and out, and they don't seem to mind.
I did a similar thing in Thailand mixing up my words years ago. I asked a lady in shopping mall where I could get a handbag.

How hard was the written portion of the drivers test? I'm going to take it next month in Guangdong.
Thank you for your video. pretty cool.
Ningbo is a very nice city.
I remember your office area, seems like not much have change
Initially, COVID-19 emerged, succeeded by a cost of living crisis, and subsequently, a global recession unfolded. Consequently, the Canton Fair seemed futile, and unsurprisingly, very few Europeans or Americans attended this year's event. This is particularly alarming as it portrays a grim forecast of impending developments.
Life experience is wonderful!
Glad to see you again in civilized China ! Try to add billingual captions so you will have more subscribers ! 加油 !
Civilized? LOL! Gutter oil and dog meat 🤣🤣🤣
How does it feel like being back in a real Chinese community instead of “Chinatown”? Welcome back!
That's the tallest building in Zhejiang!
You're back in Ningbo. It seems there"s a lot of changes in the city after you left. Anyways don't pay attention to all those haters. Jia you.
Man you should have brought the trike Matt, I bet they would have been in Awh of that monster! I understand though just being there for 3 weeks I guess it wouldn’t be worth it especially if you arnt going to have much time to ride.
Beautiful to see the area before all the hustle and bustle of the day 😊
What about your world tour on trike ? Watching from india pre covid
哈哈ningbo focus，I remember long time ago, you were teaching ningbo hua in ningboTVshow
We have a serious problem with aggressive driving in the US and it takes seeing a place without that culture to open your eyes to it. I hope at some point there will be a campaign to change it, just like there was to stop smoking. Just a small change in culture would save thousands of lives.
Oh it doesn't matter because after this thing we're trying in the US happens. No one will even know
Matt. This building is by my house. Omg. We’re within a mile of each other. Wow.
天那！欢迎回来！
I miss China, land of the free and peace.
Free? LOL! 🤣
Quieter due to more EVs less ICE cars ... I assume.
Odd, no semi trucks?
Welcome back. Your voice changed a bit.
加油💪
China is trialing new hydrogen bikes in some cities already; so very soon these older bikes probably will be replaced soon.

G'damn, Ningbo has had quite the facelift. Just a regular massage? Hope not brotha.
"normal massage" hahahaha
nice..

Hi, you disppeared for three years
