@@benmorris Dude your style of vlog is so good , please a full china travel series. That would be great and if you can make your videos longer because they are so good. Please do a full blown china travel series. Most of the chinese cities are great and also do a travel vlog series of chinese villages they are so great. If you can make a video about lijiang china , the place is nuts. Looking forward to more of your china vlogs man.
Wow this city's architecture is incredible. Ultra modern cyber futuristic yet integrated with nature and history. I love youtubers showing different sides of China since the news and media usually portrays the negative sides of the country.
the true essence of travel... meeting new people and getting to know their stories and way of living... all the whilst making friends (for life). Truly priceless ❤
I got the chance to stay in Chongqing for about a week or so back in 2013 - also my first time ever in China! My mind was completely blown by how incredible and insanely huge the city was, and just the sheer scale of everything there (and it looks like it's only grown even more since I was there!) - but I was equally as mindblown that virtually nobody had ever even heard of it back home! So glad people are finally starting to realise its existence and see just how awesome it is. Thanks for the great video, made me nostalgic and brought back some really fun memories for me - the hot pot, indoor markets, walking through the streets and looking at the seemingly endless amounts of tall buildings, and the super warm and welcoming people we met there (like Michael!). :)
Thank you for sharing this interaction with Michael , I actually felt emotional when he was speaking about his dreams , there’s some incredible humans on this earth and you showed this !
Always a great day when Ben uploads! I have also been seeing a lot of Chongqing on my tiktok and would love to go. Also Michael "can I call you mate?" was brilliant
The same story applies to most Chinese as well. This city, known for being the wartime capital during WWII, suddenly gained widespread popularity overnight.
@@lingfengge6666technically its true but its bc they count population differently in china where the entire metro area of a city is considered the 'city' so the numbers seem way larger
As someone from Chongqing and living now in France, in 2017 I took a train from Glasgow back to London and chatted with two British teenagers sitting next me. They told me that they just saw some crazy video of a Chinese city where subway goes inside a building on Tiktok and I told them that's where im from lol. And I do have several french friends who know the city as well so...What you show in the video is just so normal for someone like me growing up in Chongqing, and the city is like this since a long time ago and it's interesting to see that ONLY NOW people from the rest of China and even from other countries starting to know the existence of Chongqing.
I am so happy that you do videos (more like one video I guess) about China, can't get enough of em! Michael is an absolute treasure, would love to see you two do something again :D
Aw Michael! I understand the struggle to try and make content. I haven't bothered because im also nervous about showing my face. I can relate to him. He's so friendly and extroverted. I wish the best for him! What a friendly guy!
I stumbled upon your video … and even though the entire video was interesting…. It was the moments with Michael that made me subscribe….. such a genuine moment.
I've heard of Chongqing but this is the best video I've seen of it. I've yet to try hotpot but I will be soon as I have a friend who loves it. You can buy beef stomach in the UK (it's tripe). When I was younger I still regularly saw it in the window of butcher shops, but I can't honestly remember the last time I saw it. I don't like the smell of it raw but I'm sure it must be better once cooked. I would definitely try it, after all as a Scot I've eaten Haggis!
If Michael ever gets to read this, I want him to know that I (and I think im speaking for the majority of the people) absolutely love him. Such a kind and genuine guy! It's a real blessing that you've got to meet him.
Very nice video of this amazing city...I repeated the part where Michael showed up different time, what a pure and great personality this guy has. I hope he can read all the reactions! He deserves this. Hope his dreams come true. Greetings from Holland!
Nice video, thank you for sharing. Chongqing is the largest city in the world people never heard of because the west uses a different parameter when measuring the size of this city. If they use the same statistics used to measure the size of each city across America, 6 of the top 10 biggest cities in the world would be in China with Chongqing at the top.
Chongqing is a little different that it used to be part of the Sichuan Province, but now directly under Bejing, It's more of a County size, the reason there are 32Million if you count it that way.
Welcome to Chongqing! In the past 365 days, it has become so trendy to come here :) The city still hasn't become really ready for foreigners yet, almost no English and other things, but soon it will be!
U want English? Go to the expat/tourist areas in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen and Guangzhou etc.... Anywhere else in China, you learn to speak Mandarin（or use a translator app）, not the other way around!
What's even more amazing is that you have already collected hundreds of positive comments in a matter of hours, and not one from those anti-China idiots screaming "fake news" at you! Well done!
Just subscribed! Your video is so refreshing and amazing to watch. It allows me to daydream little more these days when I need it most. Meeting Michael…core memory material.
I'm just back from Chongqing myself... great city!! but Ben how didn't you do the skywalk on Raffle City!... and at night... would have been an epic shot... next time keep it in mind!
I went to china for the first time this year, and also to Chongqing. I will as so surprised by the kindness of people! It was such a cool trip and you can indeed travel like a king for an affordable price there

Chongqing must have one heck of a good a social media department because it really has gone viral overnight in the west.
The same story applies to most Chinese as well. This city, known for being the wartime capital during WWII, suddenly gained widespread popularity overnight.
Same with Japan cities in recent years, US cities in the recent decades
@@zhangp6666I don't think I've heard anybody say anything good about any US city in long time
Having roads at the 22nth floor is just mental, Seen a couple video's of this already but it looks like something out of a movie this location! Sick
pretty sure thats just the edge of the mountain so its 22 on one side and 1 on another
remember in China, theres many small tiny city, in the outskirts of major cities, that have a population bigger than NYC

Yeah this is definitely going into my bucketlist of places I need to visit!
Been wanting to go to China for so long and every video I see about it makes it even more intriguing! Great video
You should definitely visit more of China, so many beautiful places which people dont know about and such a big country with tons of history
What a banger of a video! Loving the new journalistic side to your videos - Mike is the GOAT 🐐
I'd love to go to China one day, so many beautiful, amazing places to see. Michael's English was so good too!
Welcome to my city
Amazing video mate! I hope you guys exchanged numbers haha, Michael seems like a friend for life!
I stumbled upon your video … and even though the entire video was interesting…. It was the moments with Michael that made me subscribe….. such a genuine moment.
This city looks amazing and to experience it with Michael must have been amazing!!
Watching such videos makes me realise how I miss China so much! It’s a great place with amazing opportunities
This channel is satisfying, Ben seems genuine and I love the locations and transitions throughout the video.
This is one of the best part of solo travelling, meeting a random person and be friends then do something together.
The best
We adopted an 11-year-old boy from Chongqing several years ago. We loved Chongqing!!

Videos like this just feed my ambition and dream to travel and have adventures like this. You got yourself a new sub man
I've heard of Chongqing but this is the best video I've seen of it. I've yet to try hotpot but I will be soon as I have a friend who loves it. You can buy beef stomach in the UK (it's tripe). When I was younger I still regularly saw it in the window of butcher shops, but I can't honestly remember the last time I saw it. I don't like the smell of it raw but I'm sure it must be better once cooked. I would definitely try it, after all as a Scot I've eaten Haggis!
It was very chewy! Weird texture but I’ve definitely ate worse things
