You two are a funny and loving couple 😂I really like your attitude toward affordable minimalist lifestyle and the ability to totally understand the Chinese plight of rags to riches as foreigners from Western Europe. People like you who wants to ground themselves in any kind of environment are very lovely people. They can go anywhere and be loved by anyone.
@@piyathcolornote yes 100% we totally understand. We travel on what we earn from vlogging so sometimes we don’t have much money at all. We have traveled this way for close to 4 years now and we definitely understand the different cultures and different ways of travel. Which I definitely think sets us apart from everyone else.
The first clip of the bloopers was funny🤣. The train station staff was pointing at the train number and kept asking you if that's your train. He wanted to make sure you're going to the right gate.
You guys are so resilient I don't think anyone has spent this long in China vlogging there. So many places in such a short time. And I thought you were kidding when you said 16 pounds for two nights you'd expect something like that in Pakistan or India
@@lilth501 crazy cheap. And you would never in a million years get that quality in india or Pakistan. - Yes, I know for a fact we got a longer visa than any vloggers have had and we’ve done the most cities in a single visit. We actually still have 3 left on this series including 2 more mega cities!
From 5:13 to 5:25, that service person kept asking: "Is This the one?" From 6:18 on, that train is called "green-skin train" (綠皮火車). It is possibly the lowest-class train in China.
There is usually a taxi or bus station at the railway station, in short, you can ask the workers in any public area, that's also how we travel to other cities.you can take the bus downtown and then take taxi which is more economic, the buses do not stop at normal times
£16 for two nights? Wow! very cheap and the room is not bad. Hope you have had a great time in Zhangjiajie. Funny that you guys seems always late for trains but it’s all good because you always make it. 😂. Anyway, hope you still somewhere in China having great fun. Take care and Happy New Year. ❤
I watch a lot of your videos. I must say, you have hours before the train leaves but still manage to have to rush, and that makes me stressful as well. 😄
@@OMGFrijoles this was filmed before new year so the new year will be a little bit in the future in the real world. Just living in TH-cam world at the moment 😂
@@מילחמאאש get a new hobby bro and pick on other TH-camrs because we’re loved by thousands don’t need your negativity. I’ve been to 63 countries including Morocco. I’ve probably forgotten more about travel than 10 people would know in there life so be quiet or watch someone else who you don’t find boring. Because you have wrote the same comment on 100 videos so you’re the boring one. Get a life dude.
Great video guys, the value for your money in China is incredible for what you are getting. I’m moving over from the UK, perhaps I’ll open an English restaurant. 😂👍
👍Good job！Glad you did not choose those taxi drivers that approached you, even we local Chinese avoid that if we can grab a taxi or Didi as they may overcharge you or kinda rude/dodgy sometimes. Remeber always pick public transport or Taxi/Didi.
Yes definitely 👍 you see how many videos we are doing in China and how many cities we are exploring it’s not like any other TH-camrs. We just work harder and we are falling in love with China.
All hail dridgers😊. Big respect to you both. Cant believe your still at it....wow.. We managed 20 months of travel and that was huge but you guys are next level. Respect 😊😊😊 Happy new year....
K trains are slow trains. They call virtually at each station along the route. They are nicknamed "Green Skins Trains" among locals. The fee are charged super low (basically the railway network are out of pockets to keep them running) so that everyone in China can afford traveling across the country even they are at the lowest level. They lowest can go down to 2,3 yuan!
Little advice for you is that you can get in the station early find a seat and wait up the train then you don’t have to rush in, because the train stations in China are massive and trains are always leave on time.
It’s the old train we used to get on in the past like a decade ago. Now I’ll prefer paying a little extra to get me on the high-speed ones. It’s worth to pay that extra. 😅👍
From being 4 hours early to just barely making the train? You guys are like FAST AND FURIOUS couple, dicing with danger whenever you need to catch public transport. That is part of your routine right? Living dangerously ????🙀🙀🙀
suggest that you should arrive earlier, give yourselves some time for errors/wrong translation or something. Have good time, Heaven's Gate (tianmen) is Super!, just before dark, then watch the Lights as well
I have seen software translating into another language by speaking into your phone. I am sure that it will help enormously. I find it funny when you use the word "literally". I try to avoid using it because English language experts say that it has little meaning.
@OTWD_yt I saw in a video from another Chinese TH-camr that you were testing the safety of leaving a bag on a shared bike on the street, but I want to remind you that it was just good luck or there happened to be many surveillance cameras nearby. When you are in less crowded areas or scenic spots, you still need to pay attention to safety and protect your belongings. There are still thieves in China, especially now that Chinese New Year is approaching. I hope you don't have any unpleasant experiences in China.🤝
Hi guys, sorry to bother you again. I know you are not travel advisers but I need some answers. How easy is it to withdraw RMB from ATMs in china using credit or debit cards? What ATM is the best to use?
@@muaythai84 super easy most ATM accept international cards but to be honest. You won’t need cash. We’ve been here 3 months overall and still have not used any cash 😂
Hey guys thanks for replying to my question. I was in china early last year and except for a few incidents and the fact I needed to get rid of a bunch of RMBs, i only use Alipay and wechat pay. But I ran into an issue planning this trip with some hotels don't accept Mastercard so I just need another option to pay. My Alipay and wechat are bound to my Mastercard. So just in case. I am travelling end of march 2025 so if you guys are in china I love to take you guys out for a meal if we happen to be in the same area. Cheers guys. Love your humour and travels
This is traditional Chinese green skin train. China need more and more high spped train, otherwise people will travel slow and crowned like this. This train only for those have lots of time and dont want to spend money. You will see lots of Korean tourists in 張家界😂😅

坐中国的普通火车真是奇妙的体验，我记得我那年大学毕业就是坐着这种火车，从湖南到了深圳10多个小时，很难受，后来有了高铁以后就很少坐了😂😂😊
四十年前有一年做绿皮车从郑州回北京，12个小时的站票，一路人挤人，最让我郁闷的是有四个男的围坐一桌几乎是吃喝了一路，一会拿出一只鸡，一会弄出猪蹄花生米，开了一瓶白酒几乎喝了一路😂😂我们却没有带任何吃的。。。那才叫一个痛苦，发誓以后再也不买站票必须带吃的！😅😅😅
我们八十年代上大学时都是绿皮车，一坐可以几十个小时，站着都能睡着。我英语班的新疆同学，从北京回家先坐三天三夜火车到乌鲁木齐，再坐两天两夜长途到喀什，最后还要骑六十里路的马才能到家。寒假四个星期都不敢回家😂😂😂
@ 满满的回忆！😄😄
