Adjusting to Everyday Life in China
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ต.ค. 2017
- I moved to Shenzhen six months ago and I am still finding myself adjusting to everyday life in every way. Whether it's communication, food, navigation, or the vast cultural differences, even the simplest of things are never a walk in the park. Here's a look into how I have adjusted to life in China thus far.

Hi, I'm a Chinese from Taiwan. Mainland China is the place where my parents were from. I love Mainland no matter what. I also experienced culture shock when I visited Beijing in 2011. It’s so familiar yet it’s also different at the same time. Thanks for sharing your experience in China. It’ll be a lot easier when you learn the language. We humans’ differences are but skin-deep.
liu0tube 👍
liu0tube. Cultural shocks going from one region on mainland to another. A southerner will find many strange things in Beijing, let alone Taiwanese.
大陆之大,人口之多,文化之多元,发展之迅速,社会转变之快,国情之复杂,在世界上是一个独特的存在。我作为一个北方人,念书在中西部,工作在南方,老婆是南方人,工作经常去不同城市出差,去过20个国家出差旅行,其中在印度,智利,墨西哥,土耳其还呆了很长时间。让我深深体会到中国文化的开放与包容,尽管很多人素养不高,不遵守交通规则,但这并不代表这些人就是不好的人,因为中国人多口,国情复杂,人口受教育水平,经济水平,文化习惯不同,素养参差不齐。但接近十四亿的人口依然和平相处,互相理解包容,社会之稳定。中国现在需要做的是重新恢复传统文化和价值观,而在方面,政府和普通老百姓都意识到了,而且都在付诸行动。我自己是一个自我要求很高的人,可以说我的言行举止,对待别人都很好,加上我在国外生活了蛮长时间。但很重要的一点是以前自己真的不够包容别人,讨厌很多公共行为差劲的人。但后来我有机会接触到了很多这样的人,其实他们都是很好的人,很多公共行为不能代表他们的任性,不能代表他们不善良。再想想我农村的父母,朴实,善良,包容,总是与人友善,但来到城市生活也不能适应。我严于律己,但我一度缺乏中国文化最好的东西包容,理解。 这也是我为什么认为日本人有很多优点需要我们学习,但是我并不喜欢他们的文化,因为他们不够包容,理解,过于严厉,不够开放。中国存在这样那样的问题,如果你是一个见证了中国进步的人,一个来到中国达到5年以上的老外,你会对中国更加包容,理解,也会对他更有信心,因为他的政府和百姓从不停止进步。 台湾人总体还是保留儒家文化很好的价值,和善,包容,友善。但目前社会氛围不好,去中国化明显,受西方民主自由和左派思想影响太大。而香港人不仅更加西化,而且对中国传统文化和历史更是理解甚少,现在年轻人都如果打了鸡血一样,这对一个社会是非常危险的。很多时候年轻人和知识分子推动了社会进步,但如果过于求成,会给一个地方带来灾难
打这么多字辛苦了
每个地方文化不一样,作为一个北方人, 我喜欢南方的气候,环境,人的平和。而很多南方人喜欢北方人的豪爽,热情,人情味
I enjoyed every episode of your video. You're a true China Lover, and Modern China is indeed the most livable and peaceful country in the world to be loved. I was originally from China 40 years ago, but I have lost all the ties there though I speak the language. Once you learn the language and get used to the people, you'll see that Chinese are actually not much different from the Americans. You'll comfortably mingle with the culture and enjoy the safety of that society in contrast to the constant anxiety of violence we've experienced back home, such as the latest massacre in Las Vegas. I am very glad to see all your positive experiences in China and sincerely with you the Good Luck there.
Yeah I'm hoping I can learn this language relatively quick just to feel more comfortable here. It's definitely the most difficult place I've lived mainly because of the language barrier, which is completely my fault. Also, yes it is very safe here. I might even make a video about it especially in comparison with the US which is really unsafe. I had some very close friends at the Las Vegas massacre and it just makes me so mad that things just keep getting worse and worse.
Thank you for the reply and comment. I came to the States as a young student. When I landed in the Bay Area, I was amazed and also culture shocked by how beautiful and peaceful the country was. The air was literally shinning and the people around me were extremely nice even for the police officers in the neighborhood. They were very friendly and willing to help even without my request when they saw I was in trouble. Now a day, we get used to the news for innocent people being shot, not only by the maniacs but also by the police whose first and foremost responsibility are to protect the innocents, not to show off their license to kill abilities. Chinese policemen are certainly doing a better job in keeping the street safe as well as the harmony of society.
I wish you luck in learning the language quickly. Once this is achieved, not only you'll feel the life much easier there but discover the true friendship with the people who are willing to help you wholeheartedly when you're in need. Chinese and Americans are very much alike In this regard.
This is a very interesting video, because it describes the experience of many immigrants to a new land: shock, adaptation, frustration, but also triumph in small victories of everyday life. Your video indirectly teaches us to be kind to others, and how small gestures of patience and understanding can make a huge difference to those trying to make a new home in a strange place.
Your whole being is full of energy and positivity. Love all your videos. Keep it up, Poppy.
HAHAHA! I love your comment about China being slow and fast at the same time. I feel the same way, except, you'll start seeing a much faster side of things, once the language is less of a barrier. I feel the US is super slow when I go back now, only because simple things are made very complicated by rigid protocols put into daily life. In China, I use apps to buy movie tickets (you pick the theatre closest to you, pick your seat, pay and out comes a QR code--you don't even need to interface with a human), I get my groceries delivered in less than an hour and I buy things on Taobao for cheap and they appear at my door sometimes in less than 24 hours. Once you figure it out, you can do practically ANYTHING in China and it's far more efficient that in Europe or the US. 加油!
PS - Pleco is a really great dictionary. When I can't read something, I just "draw" it in. So helpful.
Are your an American?
mailepointfive I agree with you! China is far and away ahead of the game when it comes to apps or getting anything done quickly I'd say. In a way I feel like I'm in the future because some of the technology implemented is just genius and major time-savers. WeChat alone is just phenomenal. Although, not speaking the language inhibits from taking full advantage of everything so hopefully the longer I stay the more I can benefit!
mailepointfive I
mailepointfive rrr
Well you guys are living in the future.
"SLOW" is because people work hard. You do not need to follow public transportation's schedule when you take a bus or metro like in North america. There are lots of buses waiting for you. Also you do not need follow 9am-5pm government schedule, because all goverment departments work overtime. In Beijing, at least until 8pm and plus weekend. So that all the chinese pleople work really hard make people feel everything goes " FAST". No secret hiding in chinese miracle, but only one word: working! Salute to all the people living in that land.
no matter where you live, keeping positive will make you mentally and physically healthy. All is not rosy wherever you go. Good luck and have fun.I do enjoy your positive energy.
Respect for going out of your comfort zone to get around in Shenzhen and the rest of China.
Moving to China was definitely the best decision I made in my life. Glad to see you are still enjoying it even though the honeymoon period is coming to an end.
haha thanks!
Me or Poppy?
to a lot of people there is always honeymoon in other country
very true :)
I'm originally from Australia, though my accent is kind of messed up nowdays haha
Bugs in the pasta isn't about China, but all the wet tropics, including Miami. In her luxury apartment in Palm Beach, my mom kept opened packages of pasta, cookies, etc. in an unused microwave. In Costa Rica where I live, I keep open flour, cereal, etc., in the freezer. The locals mostly live in large families and cook everything that they open the same day, although in the supermarkets there are numerous brands of very tightly sealing containers. Enjoy! You are so much fun.
Jim Reaven. In California, ants may swarm an opened bag of cereal.
Yeah Shenzhen is in tropical area, about the same latitude as Hawaii.
that little bug will not cause any trouble at all. I see them in America food market too. The lady's angry face is way too much for two tiny bugs.
watching this makes me miss China! Love your edits!
Hei! I'm making a radical change in my life and in January I'll be in Shenzhen...therefore you have no idea how you are helping me with your videos...many thanks ;-)
Alessandro Petrini Yay glad I can help!
found you randomly, but i subscribed because i really enjoy watching you understand more and more about china and shenzhen specifically. i moved there as a kid and basically grew up half my life there. a little bit like watching myself get acclimated in a way. now I'm back in the states, and i miss home a lot
Dude, Poppy, I just gotta say you’re awesome! Love the videos! Besides being entertaining they are also very informative and inspirational. Keep up the great work!
Marc Dudley Thank you so much!
A very comprehensive 6 month summary...loved it :D
I think living in China unlocks the dormant part of the brain!
Thank you!!
treu ,and somehow the american langues works on your nerves if you listening it to long...
really hope your experience and adventures in China can become the precious memory during your journey in different countries...It is courageous to live in China without knowing Chinese..I think some foreigner friends have misunderstandings about China..thank you for showing real China and sharing your sincere thoughts!
i lived in nanjing for two years i loved it, it took me 8 months get things figured out and i did it in the most immersive enjoyable way, no tech, learning by intigrating with people and exchanging language helps the most
Been a few times to Shenzhen and can admit that it is a lovely place. Still thinking about moving there for work.
the bugs are probably because the pasta was not properly sealed and stored after you first open. It happens if you live in a relatively more humid environement, like Shenzhen or southease asian cities. So I always use a zip lock bag to store pasta, rice etc. hope it helps.
I love how articulate you are! No boring viewers umming and arring.
haha thanks!
I know what you mean with the pace of development... When my girlfriend and I moved here, we arrived in Fuyong (Bao'an district)... it felt like the sticks of Shenzhen (still does sometimes), but since we've been here it's just exploded with developments... it started with the metro (thank you line 11), and now it has so many new places that popped up - a lot of Western stores, -restaurants, -fast food franchises... banks, schools and major cellphone dealers, a massive mall with a foreign supermarket, premium gym, cinemas, arcades, games, foreign restaurants, and chain stores... you see more and more taxis and buses in the area which is always a good sign (now if we can just get rid of the e-bikes) ... all of this within the last 6 months.
I'm originally from Shenzhen! Now I'm thousands miles away from home in Australia.Your video is fantastic, and reminds me a lot of memories!
Poppy!!!!!I love u and the Travelight girl...Looking forward to more videos you two star together!
She left me! haha just kidding but she is in Egypt so I'm counting down the days until she is back!
According the content of your video's comments, i think you have had lots of fans form China and i am just one of them.Wish you continue to have excellent experience in the coming days of China.
I really like your way of seeing China's deviations from where you come from as cultural difference or cultural shock, whereas some westerners just judge China based on their taken-for-granteds.
Love your videos
I love how your videos dive into the bad and the ugly when needed but mostly the Good of other locations and cultures across the globe. Keep up the great work and I wish you fantastic travels :)
thank you very much!
Hey Poppy I accidentally saw your channel on recommendation so I clicked in and couldn't stop watching many of your videos! Your videos are awesome and very funny! I was born in China and moved to Canada in my adolescence so its really a some kind of mix of culture in my mind and habits. Watching you video is like over-viewing my native culture from my second culture perspective and this experience is just wonderful. Some time I find what you mentioned in your videos is familiar to my own memory, and some time I find its bizarre too because it has almost been ten years since I left China (even though I went back to China during vacations, but it is to my knowledge that China undergoes a lot of changes through years and it is great to see through your video!) Thank you!
This is what life's about! Pushing yourself to explore new experiences and grow as a person! Go Poppy :)
Thanks for sharing! I totally agree with you about china, it’s cool how it’s a combo of the past and future haha. I was curious, what APP was that you use to translate? Have you tried Pleco? It’s good too. I’ll be in Nanning Guangxi in a few days and sharing adventure travel vids as well! Stay safe, enjoy your time there 🤙🏼
Xia Lei Awesome! I love Nanning, it’s so beautiful and they are friendly people there 😊
Hi, i am in guilin guangxi now as a university student, welcome to guangxi .
ZHUO LEO Hi! Oh Guilin is so pretty, one of my favorite areas with beautiful mountains and rivers to visit! Thanks!
My hometown is in Cenxi, Guangxi, not far from Nanning. Nanning is a beautiful, interesting and rapdily developing city. You can experience various local cultures for there are many minorities in Nanning. You can also travel to Guilin and Liuzhou, both have awsome landscapes. I am now working in a medical school in Shanghai, if you come to Shanghai, welcome to contact me.
Jian Wu Guangxi has many beautiful places for sure!
We are glad you are enjoying living there as you know we only fly in for 2 weeks or so then home again but we love China and we feel so safe there no matter where or when we go thanks for your posts always look forward to seeing what you are up to and different parts of China stay safe
Bene C Thank you so much and I hope you have a great trip. Thank you in general for all the sweet comments on all my videos! I love seeing the same people comment, I feel like we are part of a community! If it weren't for you guys I don't know if I could keep posting about my life for this long so thanks!
Where's Poppy no problem you just keep posting so we might find somewhere else to go to in China see ya
Thank you for your vlogs Poppy...I wish I was 20 years younger I'd do the same exact thing that you were doing right now! Happy travels!
@Victoria Volpe I do not think you have to be Poppy's age to do what Poppy does. It has more to do with attitude. Of course that doesn't make it any easier. :-;
Jürgen Huber I will get to Europe and the UK. It's on the top of my bucket list but traveling is a little harder when you have a child.. My sister is an officer in the United States Air Force. She's been enlisted now for 16 years. She's been everywhere! Including a stint in Iraq. She's stationed in South Korea right now, for the second time. Right now she's vacationing in Australia w her fiance.
wtf your sister is lit af
I can relate. When you have kids, you lost half of your freedom. I look forward to the day kids go to college.
Michael Zhuang When I do go overseas, I'm going to bring my son with me. I want him to experience traveling and other cultures. Hopefully he might grow up to be a world traveler like Poppy and my sister!
Great video! Keep vlogging! LOVE what you are doing now~ As a Shenzhener, thank you to come here and make it so interesting!
This is another underrated channel.
Subscribed!!! Your positive attitude is CONTAGIOUS! You are a rockstar in my books!
You are spot-on with your observations, very fair and accurate.
Through these few month, you've made Great videos of China! Awesome.
Thank you!
Glad to see you enjoying yourself in Shenzhen. Check out my hometown Zhuhai/ Macau. It's only one hour ferry away and it definitely worths the trip.
peiyuan zhang 珠海环境超好,好羡慕你们哦
欢迎过来玩,高铁那么方便
Love your positive attitude! Once you got even more comfortable in Shenzhen, I'd recommend trying out some other places in China, because you'd then start to see how varied different places are. Hangzhou (very close to Shanghai) is an easy city to travel and has a LOT to be seen, I'd recommend that first. The most famous cities in western China are Xi'An, Chongqing and Chengdu, each having thousands of years of standing history. Xi'An is the famed ancient capital, Chengdu is repeatedly called the most "leisurely" city of China, Chongqing has very interesting city landscape due to being in the mountains.
Thanks so much for all your suggestions! I've actually been to Hangzhou in the first few weeks that I arrived in China but I didn't take any videos :(. I do want to go to Chengdu and Yunnan. Those are probably where I will plan to go next!
Contemporary Art Museum will be opened in December in ,Shaoniangong, the metro station. You should go and find out!
I love watching your videos about China, so that the rest of the world knows more about China
Really appreciate your attitude towards life and adventure!
your videos are very honest and the way you admire and enjoy the Chinese culture makes one can experience the experience much better. these will be your best video because you see things through clean eyes, without judging or condemn mother China !!
您的视频非常诚实,您欣赏和享受中国文化的方式让人可以体验更好的体验。 这些将是你最好的视频,因为你通过干净的眼睛看事情,没有判断或谴责妈妈中国!
Best insight about China in English, well put and practical.
That language barrier is really total. I had a helper to deal with the other issues you mentioned. After 6 weeks I think I need to take this barrier more seriously, despite the apps that can help. The Chinese love swopping app translations and you can joke with them but there is only one tough option for me: learn Chinese. Even then, not an easy challenge. I thought learning Danish was tough, and it helps, but Chinese is just mind blowing.
Yeah learning Chinese would solve most of my problems haha
"I have no idea what I just ordered, but it looks like a pretty good chicken noodle " hahahahahhhhh
The best video ever xD
Oh man. I miss that feeling of arriving in another country and do not speak the language. Everyday feels like an adventure! Great video.
Everyday I'm learning something new!
It is beneficial to you for being adventurous and willing to experience the local culture, especially eating local food. I am a Chinese American, and it took me 40 years living in this country before I was willing to eat salad because I did NOT want to try veggies that were not cooked. I have had very difficult time adjusting to living in America because I was unwilling to eat “American food”, such as salad, hamburger, pizza…. Bottom line, I admire your adventurous spirit to experience life to the fullest! Good luck living in China.
It always takes me a year to completely adjust to a new environment. Ugh I'm so not good at it. You are so much better than me already considering how different life is in China compared to the US. Take your time and keep up the good work!
Chris Chan I don't think you are giving yourself enough credit! I don't know you and you don't know me but I know that it's all about your attitude and how hard you try to be happy with the adjustment. Maybe from your perspective, it looks like it's been easy for me to adjust but I will disagree and tell you that it's been very hard! We all go through this and the ones that seem like it's less difficult are just trying that much harder to be positive about it. So just know you are not alone and it gets easier :)
The language difficulties can be solved some times by just learning some basic vocabulary and conversation, I started my channel just for that, I hope it's gonna help you especially that you have the mind for staying and experiencing this new life style.
I really wish you won't give up cause once u get into the spirit here, things are gonna move smoothly, foreigners can sometimes have some nice chances finding good jobs here !! good luck !
another great video as always.
good luck on learning Chinese, it's actually not that hard, Chinese grammar is incredibly easy, just build enough vocabulary and you'll be fine with most daily tasks.
The tones in Chinese are what makes things difficult. I try speaking Chinese sometimes to locals but they never seem to understand me ahha so I get discouraged! I will keep trying!
No we dont have any grammar for daily speaking english, go poppy, speak some Chinese !
Where's Poppy
don't let the tones discourage you, most westerners who lived in China for years still can't master the tone, it is very difficult but if you're unsure about a tone just fall back to the first tone (the flat one) and majority of the time if you speak slow enough they'll understand you. even in Chinese songs, when the tone of the word don't match with the melody they'll just change the tone of the word, a lot of the times it is the first tone.
I was told 5 years of university level language courses will get you to standard Mandarin fluency. Five. Years.
amazing video as always
Great video! I just got my work permit and visa application submitted to the embassy this morning and will be in Suzhou in a matter of weeks. Your videos are incredibly resourceful so thank you for putting your voice out there. Could you let me know what translator app are you using? Thanks Poppy!
learning the language will definitely make a huge difference. and nice video!
Use Baidu maps. It's the go to getting around app in China. It comes in English too.
Im glad to find your videos on youtube. Im originally from Harbin and now living in Beijing. I really like your videos and your positive thinking about China. Thank you. (Jia you Jia you)
Well done, solid explanation of your transition from west to China. It's tough but seems like you've gotten the swing of things
There's a specific term for the speed of construction you mentioned, it's called "Shenzhen Speed", and it represents known across the country or even the world of how fast things got built in Shenzhen.
Hi! Poppy! A fan from China here~If ur troubled by language, I strongly recommend you a local brand called IFLYTEK and its most useful product named Yiba Immediate Translator. It's not expensive at all, and you simply connect it to your phone's 4G network or any wifi, talk via the machine, and the Chinese translation (by voice or by both voice and text in the advanced version) immediately pops out. The grammar and word choices are incredibly accurate. Very powerful and my dad carries that anywhere in US without trouble.
I like your vlogs and your edits are sweet. You should get Amazon affiliate links for the cameras you list in the description 😊
I am a shenzhener, so glad that you have a great time here. if you need any suggestions or help, so willing to offer❤️
Chinese uses unlocked phones. Just different companies use different frequency. You just go to the magazine shops or booth to get the SIM card. Of course you could go to the service branches of carrier companies I am from Shenzhen. The living pace is fast but if you go to parks to relax. For sure, it’s slow and relaxing, depending on where you are.
Thanks for Sharing, Poppy, I'm so glad you really enjoy your life in my hometown, Shenzhen. btw, I'm truly recommend you to go to TeamLab Exhibitions in Shenzhen, it's very nice. have a lots fun. Love
Come to Shanghai! The view,the food is really great. And I highly recommend Suzhou and Hangzhou,it's just one-hour travel to get there :)
Thanks for sharing !i will back to Shenzhen after i graduate from my college ,Shenzhen ,a place i miss so much ,lovely Shenzhen .
This is a great video! I've just returned from China after living there for a year and I'm missing it so much now! Would definitely recommend travelling around China, it's the best thing I did and I'd also appreciate if you check out my travel vlogs 😄
Very interesting. Learning the language is definitely the key. Enjoyed the video.
Very nice video .....happy life in China.
Very level headed evaluation. Nice video Poppy. Keep them coming. :)
Your presence brighten's up China, you are like the light and totally amazing your a angel baby lol keep up the good work and stay safe.
Thanks for your videos Poppy! Fellow CU grad here- I took a semester of mandarin and was absolutely blown away by the complexity (and beauty!) of the language. Patience seems to be key when translating from symbols - hanyu pinyin - english. Check out AskBenny's youtube channel- I found him pretty helpful for key phrases!
Yay go Buffs! And thanks!
beautiful video, thank you so much for sharing!!! :)
Thank you, Poppy, for your videos which provide me the insights of living in China from pure American's perspective. I am planning to live in China for just one or two months to visit certain tourist sights. I was told not to bring my own phone but just to buy a cell in China after arrival. I want to be able to reply on myself to get around but not to be taken by the locals. So, what do you suggest in terms of the mobile choices. If I were to get a cell after I got there, would the retailer help me get the "wechat" up and running so I can make payments? Wow, so many questions in my mind. I am just so amazed how modern China is today. Thank you, again, for all your posting. :-)
Ba'al Perazim
Buy a huawei phone and China mobile carrier sim card,the you are done ,don't forget to create a account of bank for wechat pay or alipay
Very cool videos!
Great video. Yeah there are things I.miss about China now that I'm in.kuwait like tsingtao for 3 kwai an the good food
Why no Patreon Poppy? I understand if you don't feel comfortable asking the public for money, but you could at least make a link and pop it in descriptions for those that go looking to throw it at you anyway.
Patreon is a great idea!!
Mel Icious I don't want to make a Patreon account because money is not the reason I am making these TH-cam videos. I am going to make them regardless if people pay me to do them or not. Obviously money would be great but I would rather that money be given to somebody who needs it to start their dreams. I'm already in mine and the best gift I can receive now is not money but support from my viewers.
Poppy you truly are an inspiration to many of us!! I'm so glad (and proud) that I found your channel. We are here to support and help you for sure! ;D
love ur video~
Enjoy your life in Shenzhen.good luck.
Great video.
good luck to your trip
Fun person. Fun channel. Straight forward. Cool stuff.
Another Great video Poppy!!!
this was me when I came to Canada because back in China, the climate, the currency and food, and language were very different.
I used to grow up in Shenzhen, lot of memory
great video!
China is amazing, while few Americans understand due to language barriers~ enjoy and learn Chinese~
You're skating backwards. So with your toes pointing to the right side while you're riding, leave your front, or left, for on the board, then use you're back, or right, foot to push from the right side. You'll have more control while pushing.
Thanks for the suggestion but I ride mongo style :)
Where's Poppy cool. If you're comfortable, keep doing it. I didn't realize it had a name. Then again I bought my last board in 1999, I bought my first one in 83, lol.
Popi it's happy to hear your experiences in China.. I enjoyed it.. Try to find time to visit India it not as much as developed as China.. But u will have again some great experiences...i can assure u that as I am a person who live in this great nation...
Hi I'm studying Chinese and recently found your videos, I love them, I'd really recommend using the app memrise, for learning Chinese, I've used it for multiple languages and love it
nice video.
Hi Poppy, I've been watching your videos for several days and can stop watching it. XD It's so lucky to get to know what you are experiencing in China . Your videos are very informative and educative from a neutral perspective. Please keeping uploading your wonderful videos!
You got deluxe pasta. Extra protein. :) Yeah what happened was that the pasta was made by some small shops who dry their pasta in open.
HAHA im a student from mainlandchina and now im in hongkong for my masters degree,i often heading to shenzhen to grab some delicious food to satisfy my stomach,maybe we could catch up with each other sometimes
Gosh! it took her so long to upload a video, I was looking forward to it
Poppy, love your vlog and how you explain everything. Can you please tell me what the name of the song you used at the beginning of the video? Thanks!
jguirola56
Check out the end of the video
I finally figured it out. Thanks for your response though....!!!
"why is there cheese in my coffee" lmfao new subbie ^-^
Your videos are just amazing
Loving your videos. I’m spending 4 days in Beijing enroute to Perth. What’s the app you used for scanning menus. That looks like the holy grail for tasty food.
microsoft translator.
Thankyou
I live in Shenzhen for 20years( and I m 20 years old), so if you are going to stay here for more days, maybe I can offer some tips for you to live better and explore greater China~ for example, food guidance~~
