I was in China in 1975, almost 50 years ago, on a 6-month UNDP sponsored study tour, just after the Cultural Revolution, and travelled from Guangzhou, through Hunan, Shanghai to Bejing. Things were quite different and there were a lot of restrictions for foreigners at that time. Yet, we were given diplomatic treatment everywhere we were taken to, selection was theirs. We had official interpreters, whose knowledge of English was remarkable. They did everything in their mother-tongue. Now things are very much different. I regret that I could not make a re- visit subsequently, in my foreign travels since them. Wish I could make it at least now. I like to taste Youtiao and Peking duck again.
@@aiden_qiuu Thanks for the feedback. I was very young then and was used to democratic social life. What we saw did not compare with what we were accustomed to. I remember writing back home: "If this is Communism, I really don't want it back home." Yet, I am confused why my country is not in the 144h visa-free transit list. I am from Sri Lanka.
But French, Italian, German, Swiss, Dutch, Spanish, Luxembourgish, Irish, Hungarian, Beigian, Polish, Norwegian and Austrian no need to apply China visa for 15 days can go for tour around China without Chinese visa there also..
You could use TH-cam subtitles to translate what the Chinese say, because through these subtitles I can translate it into my language, which is Portuguese.

China has strengthened the improvement of relevant supporting facilities and service levels. Whether it is airports, hotels, tourist attractions or other public service facilities, they have been optimized and upgraded.
I expected nothing less than awe and great welcome towards white/caucasian tourists. I want to know the reception towards non-white tourists, fellow Asians tourists with darker skins, in particular. How was their first time visiting China and the reception they received from the locals.
I find that as an interviewer you sound a bit negative about China. Even posing negative question in a way cueing the interviewee that might concur to it. Just ask an open question and let them express freely.
Maybe because everyone else only talk about the positive side, I like to cover up both sides and audience will decide whether information is useful for them
When people talk to a local in front of a camera, they will say something nice about their views on the place, and even when criticizing, they will choose less sharp words. But it is not completely without value. Whether it is praise or criticism, you will not make it up or create something out of nothing. There will always be some basis, right?
I'm loving your videos, my friend. It's so refreshing to see China portrayed this way! Keep it up!
Exceptional interviews. Great to see such nice people traveling to China. Blessings!
Thank you! Welcome to visit one day
Your videos are addictive. Keep going brother
Ayeee thank you

Thank you for sharing, if you have a chance please come back visit, China is totally different now

hello. useful video- =))
在香港也有中国移动和联通，他们有一个服务叫一卡两号，意思是一张sim包括香港和国内的电话号码,。而且这个号码在国内可以上到外国网站，完全不再需要用VPN
谢谢分享！
我在深圳我不知道去香港如何办理这样的电话卡，需要什么证明手续。

try amap you type in english the (pinyin) street name or station etc, it will show you in chnese the name where its located.
How did you run into 2 passport couple? I have been following them for years.
As China's 144-hour transit visa-free policy has received widespread attention, the "China Travel" tourism trend continues to be hot.
I expected nothing less than awe and great welcome towards white/caucasian tourists. I want to know the reception towards non-white tourists, fellow Asians tourists with darker skins, in particular. How was their first time visiting China and the reception they received from the locals.
Don’t worry about language issues. The translation software is enough. This is really a good policy.
Only 6 days ,oh ! Taiwan is 3 months .
你的英语口语相当溜，比外国人还溜，厉害了。平时是怎么锻炼的？
谢谢！我经常旅游，比较喜欢去参加派对

As human being, we all should use less sharp words when approaching people. Plus using sharpe words doesn’t help to state your opinion
这种视频没有参考价值。在有摄像机的情况下，正常人不会说出自己的真实想法，都会美化自己的语言。
Hence why it's called intervju lol
就你最会评价
哈哈，真逗
用你的逻辑，在欧洲和美国旅游的人也会这样。所以他们对美国和欧洲的评价也是没有价值的。
@@fdjw88 是的。有没有摄像机会影响人的谈话的真实性，采访者的身份也会影响谈话的真实性。比如，采访者是中国人或者外国人，受访者给的答案可能就完全不一样。所以，才会有暗访、匿名访问这种东西。

老外给中国百度提出建议，谷歌有中英翻译功能，希望百度也有中英文翻译功能，对老外来中国使用方便，还有中国人不会英文人太多，不像欧洲人都会英文，这样老外来中国旅游容易问路边人一些问题，提高国民英文水平。还有就是卫生间最好都是可以坐马桶和有免费卫生纸。这样老外就习惯了。

欧洲人都会英文？😅😅😅
@@francol3731 70%
@@francol3731 如果你去欧洲任何一个国家说英文老人不会说的有，但年轻人100%都会英文。
@@weizhang-o6o 🤪你猜我现在在哪里。欧洲能有一半人会英语都算不错了。有几个国家比例会高一点，大多数国家基本都低于一半。你怎么会觉得百度没有翻译功能，还是最简单的英语翻译，不都是几十年前就有的功能吗？中国又不是被殖民国家为啥要求多数人去懂英语，外国人来中国必用的Alipay里面吃喝玩乐出行住宿都能搞定，当然里面也有实时翻译功能，而且现在随便下个APP都能翻译了，2024年了国际空间站操作按钮都是中文了不是几十年前了，没人觉得需要配合伺候好洋大人了。为了伺候好洋大人还要改变厕所样式还都要马桶？你是怎么想的呢？我们中国广大人民群众觉得公共厕所的马桶都不干净人人都坐很恶心，完全野蛮人的生活习惯，并且很多公共厕所都有马桶选项很照顾洋大人了。
