It was Mayday holiday when hotel prices were a bit inflated. Otherwise $80 price tag should have got you a much better room: a bigger fridge, a personal locker, the toilet should be fully automatic, should have another giant "rainforest" showerhead on the ceiling, larger glass windows, curtains should be fully automated, the window view should be better, etc... Anyway, that hotel price must include a very good morning breakfast buffet.

You guys are really famous now in China and mainstream media. Love you guys. Just show all your true feelings in China ! And really welcome you guys! From Guangzhou.
You are adventurous explorers, yet calm; your conversations are informative, authentic, yet funny; your experiences are new and exciting even to some of us. I toured 7 cities in 21 days in April-May, was truly impressed by the high efficiency and convenience of daily living like high-speed train, wechat, and alipay. Enjoy the rest of your stays in China, look forward to new videos
@@moyoyo7575 Yes, I am a Chinese living in the Philippines. Their videos are watched and loved by Chinese people all over the world. Their videos show China's great architecture, Chinese hospitality, Chinese delicious food, China's beautiful scenery... This is the real China
China is really a cool place right ? Very affordable living cost with amazing food, nice people and modern infrastructures , mostly it is very very safe, enjoy your time ahead and big thank you to you guys for showing the real China to the world, after lived in UK for 10 years, I love my country even more and super grateful for the return !
Chinese is the language most widely spoken in the world, with over 1.6 billion speakers. Therefore, most people in China do not need to learn foreign languages. China has not colonized any other country for 5000 years, hence the language has not gained widespread popularity. It is the official language of China and is extensively utilized in Singapore, Malaysia, and other Chinese communities. Nowadays, numerous countries have started promoting Chinese as a second language in their primary and secondary schools.
I'd say there are significantly more than 1.6 billion Mandarin speakers as there are Chinese people in nearly every country around the world. For example, in Australia, we have over 1.3 million Chinese people as of 2023 😊
I can tell the dumplings are 100% handmade. They look so authentic and delicious. And you guys are pro. Taking a small bite and dipping it in the sauce is the most delicious way to eat it. The sauce will go into the fillings and the whole dumpling will be full of the flavor of the sauce.
Enjoy your epic journey throughout China! You should visit Xinjiang, Tibet, those more controversial areas(controversial because of western media), explore the vastly different beauty and diverse cultures, and spread out the truth about China. I really enjoyed your videos
Genuinly Xinjiang is a beautiful place. It's a shame that it's been completely misconstrued but the food, the nature and the landscape is just gorgeous. My point is It has so much to offer than "debunking western myths" 😂
I am from Yining, Xinjiang Province, China. I used to live in Korla, perhaps better known as Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang. I would say that my hometown is no different from most cities except for the special nationality and culture. This, of course, is perfectly normal for China itself. For example: North and South culture, East and West culture, 56 different ethnic cultures and so on. In addition, our policies attach importance to national equality and national unity, so that different cultures are never erased. Instead, we look forward to a world where tolerance and diversity coexist. As for the ban on speaking your mother tongue is wrong, China is a vast country with many dialects, both in Xinjiang and the mainland, people tend to receive modern Chinese education and advocate speaking Mandarin for communication. Even if you do not know Mandarin, we will respect each other, just as you will receive warm hospitality in our country. In my primary and secondary schools, I gained many minority friends, we grew up together, live together, they also love our country. BTW, some herdsmen still retain their faith, they love the nomadic life, they can overcome the difficulties of ordinary people's eyes to live on the top of the mountains, some herdsmen have also been urbanized, living in nearby counties and towns, occasionally they will accept the help of tourism, farming has long been produced by big machines, relatively speaking, Our country also has a lot of preferential policies for ethnic minorities. For example, considering the language and cultural differences, they can enjoy unconditional bonus points due to their ethnic identity in the most rigorous examination in China, the college entrance examination, and enter a good university with a relatively low score. In addition, they also enjoy benefits in terms of employment policy. Anyway, we are experiencing joys and sorrows just like any human being in the world.
I was going to recommend those two places, too. Especially Xin Jiang, only driving through the Tian Shan Mountain is already breathtaking, unfortunately I went to Russia and Canada after this Xin Jiang trip, I wish I had gone to Xin Jiang later on, so that I could enjoy more of the sceneries in those two beautiful countries.
5-star hotels like this easily go to 200-500 USD in US. A horrifying reason for this could be that usd to rmb is about 3-6x overvalued. And if you apply this to gdp, it is really horrifying.
In China, even the prices of hotels of the same grade can vary a lot depending on the city and region. If it's in the central areas of Shanghai or Beijing, the prices should be similar to what you mentioned in the U.S.
@@rickywux Not really, prices are $300 to $500 per night everywhere in the us for hotels that aren't even half as nice, if it's in nyc or somewhere similar then it's probably $600-$1000 per night for hotels that aren't even as nice.
Chongqing and Sichuan are originally one family.Chongqing and Sichuan are in the same cultural circle, and our dialects and food are very similar. Our food is all Sichuan cuisine, and hot pot originated in Chongqing. People in Chongqing are hotter-tempered than people in Chengdu.
Because the city build over top of the hills. That’s why they have the most diesel buses in china and give them enough power when they’re going up hill.
The hotel is quite comfortable and luxurious! I was in Chongqing last year and discovered that Chongqing was one of my favourite cities in China. I will definitely visit this city over and over again. My first visit to Chongqing took place at the beginning of the 90s, then Chongqing was largely a backward rural-like place, which did not impress me very much.
Welcome Luke and Naomi to Chongqing, my hometown of 26 years, I can assure you that the people here are very nice, Chongqing people are very helpful, kind and straightforward. However, most middle-aged and older people in China especially ChongQing have very little English education, so if you need help you can look for someone younger who will have more ways of helping. They are willing to do this. By the way, hope you have worn more comfortable shoes to explore mountain city :)
The hotel is located further away, which is also the reason for its lower price. However, fortunately, there is a subway nearby. Jinling is a domestic hotel chain brand in China, and its reputation is still quite good. I hope you have a wonderful trip in Chongqing and continue to explore more Chinese cities.Welcome to Shandong, my hometown, where you can find renowned tourist cities such as Jinan, Qingdao, Yantai, and Qufu. The hospitable people of Shandong extend their welcome to you.
Chongqing is affectionally known as "The Mountain city", the entire city is built on mountains and hills, so there are some really steep slopes....which made it even more magical...you think you are on the first floor, but you could be standing on the rooftop of another building. Explore this vibrant city especially the amazing night life, I'm sure you will love it
awesome video as always, and glad to see you guys were traveling to my 2nd hometown. People in Chengdu tend to be more mellow while people in Chongqin are more outgoing, both are friendly cities in general. Hope you enjoyed your trip there and looking forward to see more videos from you❤
Having an ashtray in the room does not mean it is a smoking room. Hotels do this as they know a lot of chinese people would ignore the 🚭. It is the same in restaurants, although in some, the floor is the ashtray.
When planning your trip to China, it's highly recommended to avoid public holidays. During these times, popular tourist destinations become extremely crowded, and hotels often increase their prices significantly, just like what you experienced. To ensure a more enjoyable and cost-effective experience, consider traveling during off-peak periods. Not only will you have a more relaxed journey, but you'll also have better access to accommodations and attractions.
When i was in china, specifically Chongqing Chengdu back in nov 2023, i went specifically to malls, they provide quality assurance to me. Going back in less than 100 days this time suzhou shanghai!
i watched many bloggers. that would be a 3 star hotel with a 5 star customer rating. there are super nice hotel with a business suite. multiple rooms and executive desk.
I watched your new video almost immediately, you are near my hometown, it was great to see you exploring here, it was very interesting. Don't buy the bright red fruit on the street, you've seen it in Chengdu, it's expensive and not tasty
27:41 When you eat freshly handmade dumplings, you need to shake the plate or use chopstick to stir the dumplings once awhile to keep them from stick together.
Oh, you visited my hometown! 😊Chongqing is a city that is still developing. Although there are many shortcomings in infrastructure and human care, it is indeed a very unique and warm-hearted city! I recommend you visit the Mountain City Footpath（ShanChengBuDao） and the Second Factory（ErChang）. I hope you have a great time!!!
King size bed in China is a super common thing with good hotel. when I travel to other countries in which I can not find k in g size bed for my wife and I, we just can not fall asleep. it’s crazy for two to sleep in queen or double bed omg
560 rmb for a 5 star hotel is normal price. The most expensive 5 star hotel with breakfast in my city is 668 rmb. The cheapest is 386 rmb. Can you already count to 10 in Chinese on one hand?
It’s better not to recommend small hotel which won’t have good safety, service and cleanness, absolutely no airbnb in China. since three four five stars hotels are cheap in China, there is no reason of recommending them to stay at poor quality airbnb
@@sunjy9522 come on, many bnbs in chongqing have great view and great value especially in Chongqing. i stayed in many bnbs while i was travelling in europe and its much better than hotels, hosts will give many food recommodations, sometimes even cook for us.
The traditional Chinese concept of "Feng Shui", in the consciousness of the ancient Chinese, Feng Shui is a mysterious force of nature, through artificial modification of the layout of certain buildings, can modify the impact of Feng Shui, for example, this hotel set up in the lobby of the hotel pools, rockeries and fish, is a kind of modification of the embodiment of the Feng Shui, but also a kind of Feng Shui culture into the architectural design of an example of architectural design, through which the designers and users believe that it can give them wealth and good luck. For example, the pool, rockery and fish in the lobby of this hotel are a reflection of feng shui modification and an example of integrating feng shui culture into architectural design, through which the designers and users believe that it can bring them wealth and good luck.
Nice video! Thank you. I'm a Chinese and I stayed in Dublin for 3 months last year. Dublin is a great city with distinct difference view at different district. I like Phoenix Park a lot. And all people I met are so kind. The Chinese food in Dublin is also pretty authentic. But I have to say the hotels in Dublin is really expensive. I remember it costs more than 120 euros per night so I turned to a short term rental and shared a house with others. Another impressive thing was that once in a Chinese restaurant, an Irishman sitting at the table next to mine told me about the history of Ireland's liberation from Britain, saying that both Ireland and China had been colonized by Britain in the past, and that this was a pain to them.
I have been following you on TH-cam for a long time. This is the first time I leave you a message. First of all, I welcome you to travel to China and witness a warm, civilized and enterprising Chinese land. Secondly, I am moved by your sincere, kind and optimistic personality. It is true that people from all countries in the world have different cultural backgrounds, different folk customs and different national management systems. It is these differences that are worth understanding and experiencing. China is definitely a country for you to experience and travel to tell the Western world a real China. Finally, I wish you happiness, health and safety in the next journey! If you encounter difficulties and confusion, please seek help from relatively young people. They are more likely to understand English. English is a compulsory course starting from the first grade of elementary school. This is not an unsolvable problem!
In China nowadays especially when you are in the city, there is no such thing as difficult to travel to anywhere anymore. When there is no subway, you can always take taxi or Didi (Chinese Uber) and they are very affordable. The shortest ride I had on a Didi was about 3-4 km ride. It cost $1 US.
love you guys for sharing the funs. I spent May long weekends in Xi-an, the hotel rate went triple the normal rate. Your room is spacious and luxury, well worth it. Enjoy
Jiuzhaigou is a better choice than Zhangjiajie, especially in the hot summer. There are the most beautiful plateau lakes in the world. In the 1980s, when China just opened up, the only scenic spots promoted to the world were Guilin and Jiuzhaigou. Later, Zhangjiajie replaced Jiuzhaigou. It's a pity.Apart from the disputed Xizang and Xinjiang, Sichuan and Yunnan have the best natural scenery in China Chengdu is probably the most tourist-friendly Provincial capital city in China. Jiuzhaigou or Kangding are only a few hours drive from Chengdu.The ancient town of MOXI磨西, located at the foot of the 7,500-meter Minya Konka, is worth a visit. In addition to the snow-capped mountains and huge glacier landscapes, the hot springs there are also very good
For transaction fee, I would recommend you to use your foreign credit card directly. Most of the upscale hotel will support foreign credit cards without additional charge. Same approach if you are going to buy anything expensive, check with the merchant whether they accept foreign credit card. If they do, use your cards directly.
i alway make sure there is a fridge when i travel.i too also travel budget sometimes a little better tho.i have my own portable small kettle for boiling water. i also like to carry a few other small lightweight things to make my travels better and easier.im a full time traveler too just not a vlogger
Because the U.S. government and specifically NY in this case tax us to death to pay for their crap and pensions. How else can the number one economy in the world look like a third world country?
If there's no fridge in your room, you can always ask hotel reception for help. Usually they would love to offer help. I stored my icecream in their kitchen freezer last time when I stayed in a hutong kind of hotel in BeiJing.
Regarding the engine sound, I can explain that the fuel used by buses and old taxis in Chongqing is natural gas, which is actually a clean energy. However, the fuel tank cannot have a large capacity, so it can only be used in the local bus system,but now they are slowly switching to electric car.
Chongqing has a nickname - "mountain city". There is a large fluctuation in terrain, so buses need greater power to go up and down hills. The power of EV buses cannot get it done. That's why there are still triditional buses.
In China, the majority of people in their forties and fifties typically cannot speak English. Those in their twenties and thirties can communicate in basic English, as it was a mandatory subject in middle school, but as they age and use it less frequently, they tend to forget it. Teenagers are likely capable of understanding basic English conversations, provided that it is spoken slowly. The primary reason young people feel hesitant speaking English is due to a lack of confidence in their accents.
@@TwoMadExplorersThis hotel you are staying in is too expensive. There are many $50 hotels, which are absolutely not worse than this hotel. $80 is too expensive. There are many $15 hotels in Chongqing, and even many $10 hotels are not bad.
😂I am in the center of Chongqing. When I see you coming to Chongqing, I even want to be your tour guide, because this city is particularly magical. Of course, if you need a local fair free tour guide, you can leave me a message at any time.
You guys are lucky to Chengdu as your first time to know China~~ we local person call "Heaven area" , at least I`m agree with that only because of their fantastic food. hahaha. Enjoy your trip in China.
In my country Singapore you can only get 1 night in these kind of hotels for $400. 🤣😂😅
What a nice place China is! 😃
Very true! 😅❤❤
It was Mayday holiday when hotel prices were a bit inflated. Otherwise $80 price tag should have got you a much better room: a bigger fridge, a personal locker, the toilet should be fully automatic, should have another giant "rainforest" showerhead on the ceiling, larger glass windows, curtains should be fully automated, the window view should be better, etc...
Anyway, that hotel price must include a very good morning breakfast buffet.
It surely did cost me some fortunes travelling in SG last year, nice country, but quite expensive even for some locals.🤣
的确 这个酒店如果在非节假日价格应该在20至40美元之间@@kelwang446

Dear Luke and Naomi,
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to both of you. As foreign TH-camrs traveling through China, your efforts to showcase the true essence of China to the world through your videos are immensely appreciated.

I hope you continue to enjoy the rest of your travels and keep revealing the real China to your audience. If you encounter any difficulties, please feel free to reach out to us. I'm sure you already have a significant following of Chinese fans who will always be there to support you.
Wishing you both an incredible journey ahead!

不要在中国的火车站或高铁站里面买吃的，通常要比外面贵1.5倍的价格。一些大商场的价格也很贵。饮食的话选择普通的小店，这样价格也很实惠。特别是看着店面比较老旧的，这通常是开了很多年获得当地人认可的。味道通常不会太差。这样能帮你省不少钱。
人家又不差钱，需要的是不同的体验，你一个破旧小馆子的就餐环境和大餐厅能比？

I watched your new video almost immediately, you are near my hometown, it was great to see you exploring here, it was very interesting. Don't buy the bright red fruit on the street, you've seen it in Chengdu, it's expensive and not tasty
you can ask for ano smoking room and in china tip is not necessary even in upscale hotel
Nice Video!
27:41 When you eat freshly handmade dumplings, you need to shake the plate or use chopstick to stir the dumplings once awhile to keep them from stick together.
Oh, you visited my hometown! 😊Chongqing is a city that is still developing. Although there are many shortcomings in infrastructure and human care, it is indeed a very unique and warm-hearted city! I recommend you visit the Mountain City Footpath（ShanChengBuDao） and the Second Factory（ErChang）. I hope you have a great time!!!
I am from Chongqing. Welcome to Chongqing, China! Enjoy your journey!
King size bed in China is a super common thing with good hotel. when I travel to other countries in which I can not find k in g size bed for my wife and I, we just can not fall asleep. it’s crazy for two to sleep in queen or double bed omg
We always ask for 2 single beds, easier that way.
@@chrissieng8146 in China you can easily get king which is 1.8 meter wide
560 rmb for a 5 star hotel is normal price. The most expensive 5 star hotel with breakfast in my city is 668 rmb. The cheapest is 386 rmb. Can you already count to 10 in Chinese on one hand?
There are many small hotels and bnbs in city center with wonderful river and skyline view
It’s better not to recommend small hotel which won’t have good safety, service and cleanness, absolutely no airbnb in China. since three four five stars hotels are cheap in China, there is no reason of recommending them to stay at poor quality airbnb
@@sunjy9522 come on, many bnbs in chongqing have great view and great value especially in Chongqing. i stayed in many bnbs while i was travelling in europe and its much better than hotels, hosts will give many food recommodations, sometimes even cook for us.
I really like your sharing, I hope you have a good time in Chongqing.
The peanut like peas in the red oil were fried soy beans, they’re commonly added for a richer texture.
Oh you made it to Chongqing😃😃😃 , a Cyberpunk city，enjoy food & hot pot
Beautiful room and the dumplings looked so delicious 😋
1st of May is Labour Day. That was a month ago!.
You always seem so chilled and open-minded! I really like your videos; you make even the most normal things so interesting!
Very nice....take care your healthy....bro and sis....❤❤❤
If you stay in the city center, you will miss many natural attractions, such as the Black Valley and the Leshan Giant Buddha.
The traditional Chinese concept of "Feng Shui", in the consciousness of the ancient Chinese, Feng Shui is a mysterious force of nature, through artificial modification of the layout of certain buildings, can modify the impact of Feng Shui, for example, this hotel set up in the lobby of the hotel pools, rockeries and fish, is a kind of modification of the embodiment of the Feng Shui, but also a kind of Feng Shui culture into the architectural design of an example of architectural design, through which the designers and users believe that it can give them wealth and good luck. For example, the pool, rockery and fish in the lobby of this hotel are a reflection of feng shui modification and an example of integrating feng shui culture into architectural design, through which the designers and users believe that it can bring them wealth and good luck.
Nice video! Thank you. I'm a Chinese and I stayed in Dublin for 3 months last year. Dublin is a great city with distinct difference view at different district. I like Phoenix Park a lot. And all people I met are so kind. The Chinese food in Dublin is also pretty authentic. But I have to say the hotels in Dublin is really expensive. I remember it costs more than 120 euros per night so I turned to a short term rental and shared a house with others. Another impressive thing was that once in a Chinese restaurant, an Irishman sitting at the table next to mine told me about the history of Ireland's liberation from Britain, saying that both Ireland and China had been colonized by Britain in the past, and that this was a pain to them.
I have been following you on TH-cam for a long time. This is the first time I leave you a message. First of all, I welcome you to travel to China and witness a warm, civilized and enterprising Chinese land. Secondly, I am moved by your sincere, kind and optimistic personality. It is true that people from all countries in the world have different cultural backgrounds, different folk customs and different national management systems. It is these differences that are worth understanding and experiencing. China is definitely a country for you to experience and travel to tell the Western world a real China. Finally, I wish you happiness, health and safety in the next journey! If you encounter difficulties and confusion, please seek help from relatively young people. They are more likely to understand English. English is a compulsory course starting from the first grade of elementary school. This is not an unsolvable problem!
As you live outskirts/rural area of ChongQing, did you find it's difficult traveling to downtown of ChongQing？
中国任何城市都出行方便，你甚至可以坐无人驾驶的出租车❤
In China nowadays especially when you are in the city, there is no such thing as difficult to travel to anywhere anymore. When there is no subway, you can always take taxi or Didi (Chinese Uber) and they are very affordable. The shortest ride I had on a Didi was about 3-4 km ride. It cost $1 US.
Although it is the outskirt, CRT line 9 has a station very close to the hotel.
建议手机上装个“百度地图”可以随时随地自已查看定位你自已所在的位置。
Wow, your Chinese is fluent now!👍👍👍
Very affordable price on everything, impressive
I love watching your videos, they are awesome!
Glad you like them!❤️❤️
smoking on platforms at train stations is quite common in the UK as well, which I hate especially when the smoker is upwind
I watch your videos everyday.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So do I!
他们的视频做得非常细致入微。简直以一个重庆市民的方式体验了细节的一切。我们国内差旅也不过如此。🥰🥰🥰
I've been Chongqing once when I was a kid.I will never forget the amazing view of the Hongya Cave
In Chong Qing, make sure to try some "Xiao Mian“-Little Noodels, local ”fry restaurant“- Sichuan cuisine and HOT POT! Love from China!
刚起床就看到你们更新了，欢迎你们来到重庆~~看你们视频我居然觉得饿了~~
When you were served your food you were told 您慢慢吃 (nin man man chi) eat slowly, meaning relax and enjoy your meal.
love you guys for sharing the funs. I spent May long weekends in Xi-an, the hotel rate went triple the normal rate. Your room is spacious and luxury, well worth it. Enjoy
maybe in the public holiday，price is not normal
❤❤我爱重庆。我去重庆旅行过，重庆是多中心发展的城市，因此房价也很便宜。
Jiuzhaigou is a better choice than Zhangjiajie, especially in the hot summer. There are the most beautiful plateau lakes in the world. In the 1980s, when China just opened up, the only scenic spots promoted to the world were Guilin and Jiuzhaigou. Later, Zhangjiajie replaced Jiuzhaigou. It's a pity.Apart from the disputed Xizang and Xinjiang, Sichuan and Yunnan have the best natural scenery in China Chengdu is probably the most tourist-friendly Provincial capital city in China. Jiuzhaigou or Kangding are only a few hours drive from Chengdu.The ancient town of MOXI磨西, located at the foot of the 7,500-meter Minya Konka, is worth a visit. In addition to the snow-capped mountains and huge glacier landscapes, the hot springs there are also very good
For transaction fee, I would recommend you to use your foreign credit card directly. Most of the upscale hotel will support foreign credit cards without additional charge. Same approach if you are going to buy anything expensive, check with the merchant whether they accept foreign credit card. If they do, use your cards directly.
i alway make sure there is a fridge when i travel.i too also travel budget sometimes a little better tho.i have my own portable small kettle for boiling water. i also like to carry a few other small lightweight things to make my travels better and easier.im a full time traveler too just not a vlogger
博主展示了真实的中国现状，可以让全球网友看到真实的中国，希望博主可以到更多的地方去看看，中国是一个多民族的国家，不同民族有自己的特殊文化。 同时也希望博主可以见到中国的更多面。
Why I can not have such hotel in the USA? I paid 250 for an old motel room in up state NY last year.
Because the U.S. government and specifically NY in this case tax us to death to pay for their crap and pensions. How else can the number one economy in the world look like a third world country?
If you`re planning to China,I am glad to help. ❤❤❤Love from China
The hotel is so good!
❤️
If there's no fridge in your room, you can always ask hotel reception for help. Usually they would love to offer help. I stored my icecream in their kitchen freezer last time when I stayed in a hutong kind of hotel in BeiJing.
Seeing the Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie photographed by them, it is perfect, will you go
Regarding the engine sound, I can explain that the fuel used by buses and old taxis in Chongqing is natural gas, which is actually a clean energy. However, the fuel tank cannot have a large capacity, so it can only be used in the local bus system,but now they are slowly switching to electric car.
Chongqing has a nickname - "mountain city". There is a large fluctuation in terrain, so buses need greater power to go up and down hills. The power of EV buses cannot get it done. That's why there are still triditional buses.
比较推荐一家位于大渡口区的“将好火锅馆”微辣的话，还可以，主要是汤底地道，食材非常新鲜爽脆
I come from Chengdu. I have been to Chongqing, but I don't want to go anymore because there are too many slopes. I still like my Chengdu Plain😊❤😊
为你感到丢脸
@@StoneCQ 哈哈哈，成都和重庆我都不喜欢。我喜欢济南，因为济南是我家。成都和重庆美丽的城市
Wishing you a pleasant journey 😀， seeing such food has greatly increased my appetite.
In China, the majority of people in their forties and fifties typically cannot speak English. Those in their twenties and thirties can communicate in basic English, as it was a mandatory subject in middle school, but as they age and use it less frequently, they tend to forget it. Teenagers are likely capable of understanding basic English conversations, provided that it is spoken slowly. The primary reason young people feel hesitant speaking English is due to a lack of confidence in their accents.
taxi is very cheap in Chongqin (compared to other Chinese cities).
Wow for 80usd that really good!
This is the May Day holiday. If it were not a holiday, a hotel with a price of thirty or forty dollars would also be at this 90% level.
80美元太贵了，也就老外才觉得便宜，我住旅馆一般只住的起8美元的😂
@@东莞大镖客 低价的酒店寻找成本有一点高，而且设施不好会降低我们国家整体形象哈哈哈
@@东莞大镖客8美元在国内你连青年旅舍都住不起
My American friends live a luxury hotel in Vietnam cost 120dollor . Chongqing is really affordable city
DND stands for Do not disturb.
In some small cities around Chongqing, you can stay in a similar room for only US$30, but I don’t know whether foreigners are allowed to stay there.
Oh! That hand-made dumplings! ❤❤❤❤❤
五一假期 酒店价格一般会上涨三到五倍😅😅平时用不了这么多钱 可以获得更好的房间 欢迎你们下次来之前 拍影片说下旅程目的地 我们会给你们更好的选择意见 🥰🥰超好的小两口
重慶是山城，很厲害的設計。🥰

@@TwoMadExplorersThis hotel you are staying in is too expensive. There are many $50 hotels, which are absolutely not worse than this hotel. $80 is too expensive. There are many $15 hotels in Chongqing, and even many $10 hotels are not bad.
@@feifei987 有没有一种可能，你说的他们住不了，因为不是所有的酒店都可以接待外国人的
@@feifei987他们这个视频是五一劳动节时拍的 节假日涨价是常态
@@weijiaCAI早十多年就没这要求了，是因为入住登记护照要手动输入比刷身份证麻烦，字母啥的登记出错是很常见的，然后会被问责，很多酒店嫌麻烦。公安经常培训，但这行业流动性太大，总不能天天培训，所以就这样了，当然也有几个连锁酒店是自己的内部要求不接待。
😂I am in the center of Chongqing. When I see you coming to Chongqing, I even want to be your tour guide, because this city is particularly magical. Of course, if you need a local fair free tour guide, you can leave me a message at any time.
欢迎来到重庆！
Welcome to China,hope you guys enjoy the stay
♥️🙏🏻
You guys are lucky to Chengdu as your first time to know China~~ we local person call "Heaven area" , at least I`m agree with that only because of their fantastic food. hahaha. Enjoy your trip in China.
祝你们旅行愉快
