That fan gift was so so pretty and sweet. Like you said, everything happens for a reason… meaning come back again to China 😊 Love your China vlog.
15:45 It was an unsuccessful “Color Revolution” conducted on June 4, 1989. China found out that the so-called NGOs funded the riot and CIA-backed NGOs. Today, over 90% of Chinese people are happy that the government wiped them out cuz nobody wants China to be disintegrated as the Soviet Union. Nobody wants to live in poverty like the Ukrainian.
@@radiosparrow851@radiosparrow851 The US is a plutocracy, not a democracy. All candidates are working for oligarchs, not for the people.
@@radiosparrow851 the elections are designed to fool people and let them believe they have a choice. Both Biden and Trump are sales managers of the Military-industrial complex, and the fact that they spent $8 trillion on wars and no money for the infrastructure and homeless proved that they worked for the oligarchs, not the people.
Perhaps it is the only country in the world that can write the vision of "Long Live the Great Unity of the People of the World" on its landmark buildings.
Totally agree. I feel the same way too. So much appreciation for China to put out this messages for all people of our world to be in harmony. Peace ❤
That slogan is basically why the US has a problem with China. If the people around the world all united together, where would those warmongers in the US sell their weapons to?
世界人民大團結萬歲
You guys don't see your military much in the US because they're in the 750+ military bases outside of the US, 300+ of which encircles China. The Chinese military is deployed each time there is a natural disaster to help the community affected, like in times of flooding, earthquakes etc., they function within China. That was a nice video, specially the local interactions.
In China, normally, you can't see the military either. It's just that you are in the Great Hall of the People, next to the office of the head of state. Just imagine, isn’t it normal to see police forces next to the White House? Foreigners who come to China for the first time still have preconceived prejudices. Whether it is the police or the cameras, for the Chinese, they are the protectors of our safety.
We see the military sometimes.
1. When they're trying to recruit kids.
2. When the police, uses violence to crush protests and rallies and face fierce public push back. Military will be deployed to further crush public voices.
3. When political officials do something to trigger public discontent and fear for their safety, military will be dispatched in advance.
Not to mention the huge police presence with SWAT teams that have armored vehicles and assault rifles.
US military causing havoc all over the world and the American public is complicit and enjoying the benefit.
Just forget the distorted and discredited reports about China in the mainstream American media.
China is a very good place to travel.
Be sincere and friendly to the people of China, and you will get the same return even if you don't know the language.
And one of the most visited countries.
Pre-pandemic figures show it its ranked among the 10 most visited nations as compiled by the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), citing data from multiple national tourism organizations.
Interestingly, the third and fourth positions in the global rankings change places depending on data - referring to China and the US.
Agreed. They seem to be spreading the falsified and demonized stereotype. Sad to see that, with all the demonstraton of the exreme dark side of mankind today, people are still not awakening to the truth!

Good to see more and more westerners visiting China and see China physically with their eyes.
There are a few reasons why western countries the governments don't want their citizens to visit China.
1st, to see all the Chinese super infrastructures.
2nd, how China is able to keep the public areas so clean, green and organized.
3rd, why China is so safe even for foreigners.
4th, Chinese are super friendly to foreigners and treat foreigners as guest.
5th, China public transportation is super good and cheap.
If those western countries people visit China and see all these, they will realize how useless and incompetent their governments are compared to the Chinese government. With so much taxes they're paying, yet their useless and incompetent governments are not able to provide them the same infrastructures, services, cleanliness and safety to the people like in China. Whereby Chinese pay very little taxes or some not paying at all.
That is why their governments keep lying to them about how bad China is and how undeveloped China is. The governments do not want the people to see the real China and compare.
Well said and still well said👍👍👍

Normally there is no sound of gunfire in Tiananmen Square. The couple was lucky enough to meet foreign heads of state visiting Beijing. By comparing their reaction to the sound of gunfire with that of ordinary Chinese people, we can actually explain some interesting things. Because China bans guns and has very good public security, the Chinese people will not feel that they are in danger when they hear the sound of gunfire. Everyone's first reaction is to take out their mobile phones to record and observe what interesting things happened. And because of the daily possibility of shootings in the United States, and the Western media exaggerating a dangerous feeling about China, they immediately lose their sense of security when they hear the sound of gunfire. This difference in reaction interestingly reflects the different social security of China and the United States, as well as the false reports of Western media on China.
@@chynavirusakawuflu9961 free your mother from your father's sexual abuse first
The sound of gunfire at Tiananmen Square is a salute for receiving foreign guests. Because opposite is the Great Hall of the People, an auditorium specially used to receive foreign heads of state. If you hear it for the first time, you must be a little nervous. When important heads of state visit the White House, there will also be a gun salute. The crowd ran to see the flag-lowering ceremony and to grab a good seat. This is the simplest emotion of the Chinese people.

In Beijing, if you want to visit famous landmarks such as the Forbidden City or the Palace Museum, you must make a reservation in advance; it's impossible to buy tickets on the same day. Also, your first reaction to hearing salutes is fear, which is so American. When we hear salutes, we think about where there might be an event and then rush over to join the excitement.
This is because the American people have been brainwashed by their Politicians and Media to believe everything is BAD in China.
哈哈 很讽刺的一段话 也很现实
Lately, the policy changed. Many landmarks do not required reservation. Not sure about Forbidden city. But it's a good policy, reservation will ensure the landmarks are not overcrowded.
you need a good week of explore beijing, 2 days is not even enough to scratch the surface of beijing.

Exactly! I was wondering why she could feel so scared...you have cleared my confusion.
When Chinese people hear...
A single blast: "A balloon or a tire has just blasted."
Continuous blasting sound: "Damn, who's playing with firecracks here and now? It's not Spring Festival!"
Unless they are caught by the fragment or the blast wave, they won't move a step.
Totally agree
The reason why the streets are so quiet is because most of them are green EV cars and two-wheel electric vehicles.China is a cashless society. All online shopping, transportation, taxis, car purchases, and supermarket shopping can be paid with mobile phone ALIPAY.

Hi, brother, you said that you saw a man standing in front of a tank in the textbook. Did the textbook say whether that man was crushed to death? In fact, the tank stopped to avoid the entanglement of the man, and finally the man was pulled away by his other partner. The full version of the video is available on TH-cam, but the Western media deliberately only captured the first scene.
@chynavirusakawuflu9961 Sorry to disappoint you, you won't have the chance to see it in your lifetime. The world is dangerous, get back to the well and try to live like a thousand-year-old turtle.
@@YG-nobody 穿山甲说了啥？我看了好几个帖子了，总有别人对这家伙的回复，但是看不到他的留言。
Actually the tank not just tried its best to avoid the guy, but stopped, the military man came out of tank and persuited the guy to move away, then the guy was dragged away by his friend. Western media is good at telling a out of context and cherry picked stories and ill interpreted them. Basically it was a failed colour revolution orchestrated and guided by CIA to overthrown the government as they have been doing to many counties to today. Glad it was failed!

@@cherishyards1483 看不见的应该是被up主删了
Love your video and general respect for the history and culture. But you might want to read more widely and know that:
a) the 1989 Tiananmen Square Protest was part of a 'regime change' attempt (along with almost simultaneous similar ones against the Communist / Socialist countries in Eastern Europe) by YOUR government, which was why many of the so-called 'student leaders' ended up in your country.
b) the guy in front of the tank was NOT crushed as most people assume. The tank actually stopped in front of him and his friend pulled him aside. There are historical footage here on TH-cam if you are interested.
c) Since Beijing is the capital, it was almost impossible to hide any eye witness accounts given the large number of foreign diplomats and to date, many of these foreign diplomats (even from countries not usually friendly to China) have publicly stated that they did NOT witness any large scale massacre. In fact, the students ended up killing up more police and army soldiers who were trying to exercise maximum restraint against their own countrymen.
d) If a similar protest were to happen in your country today and the protestors showing the same level of violence and aggressiveness against the law enforcement people, most of these rebel leaders will most likely be shot rather than staying alive and go to exile and continuing to badmouth their own country.
e) I am not from China but just someone who also learned and lived through that part of history from another Asian country (Singapore) who actually have greater access since many of us are bilingual (speak and read both English and Mandarin) are so, are able to access a wider range of news and information that the western mainstream media.
Totally agree. A very good summary of the facts.
兄弟，你这个就很全面的说明了整个事件的那些广为流传的谣言

Some governments are skilled in using propaganda to influence a generation. On the other hand, they also post sources when they speak, which shows that they are quite cautious.Evil goverment！！

💖The door studs on the gates of the Forbidden City are typically arranged in nine rows and nine columns. This layout carries deep cultural and symbolic meanings: 1.）Numerical symbolism: In traditional Chinese culture, nine is considered the largest yang number, representing supremacy and perfection. "Nine returning to one" also symbolizes unity and completeness. 2.）Symbol of imperial power: The 81 door studs (9x9) demonstrate the emperor's supreme authority. In ancient times, the phrase "Lord of nine five" was used to describe the emperor. 3.）Cosmological view: Ancient Chinese believed there were nine layers of heaven and nine regions on earth. This arrangement reflects the traditional cosmological view. 4.）Auspicious meaning: In Chinese, the pronunciation of "nine" (jiǔ) is similar to "long-lasting" (jiǔ), expressing wishes for longevity and eternity. 5.）Practical function: Besides symbolic meaning, the dense arrangement of studs also reinforced the doors, enhancing their defensive capabilities. So this sepcial design reflects both the numerological mysticism in Chinese traditional culture and the wisdom of ancient craftsmen. It's not just a decoration, but a microcosm of ancient Chinese culture, philosophy, and political thought.
So interesting, thanks a lot for Chinese culture,even Chinese don't know. 👍
Wow, that is a wonderful explanation, thank you so much for sharing that 🙌

The food in China was amazing, and that duck skin with sugar was out of this world 👏
I was a middle school student living in Beijing during what you called the “Tiananmen massacre”， what sticks in my head for so many years are videos and pictures of soldiers who were pull out of the tanks, tortured, beaten and burned to death, whose charcoaled and deformed bodies hanged on the pedestal bridge just because they are at the beginning ordered to hold their fire. It’s the first time of my life to see such a brutal scene. And many of those soldiers are even younger than those university students. Things are out of control after that and soldier are allowed to open fire. Many civilians got shot. Years later I saw some data said more soldiers dead in that event than civilians, but more civilians got wounded than soldiers. I cannot say the data I saw are true, same on any data from the western media. But at least I saw part of the story which were hidden by the western media for so many years.

i think the cannon is because of the diplomatic thing, in the vedio you see the chinese flag and the other country's flag.
Yes, you are correct, great observation. We ended up seeing that in the newspaper in the airport before we left.
I don’t think the Chinese government ever said that food trucks are the top polluters😂 and don’t rely on western media report on china too much😂 government has done so much here to plant trees regulate factories , etc.
Never heard such things in Beijing, I heard one of the biggest polutors are some big factories and cars. The government move factories out of Beijing and is now developing EV cars. The pollution improved greatly!
True. I totally do not trust western media report, very misleading.
是的，作为北京人我见证，首钢，燕京石化等大型工厂早就搬出去了，绝大多数小吃街都搬进了室内，主要是因为扰民和堵塞交通，主演并不是因为空气污染，但确实有烧烤摊位因为使用木炭改为用电烤炉了。

I disagree with water parts. I lived in Atlanta's Dunwoody, Johns Creek(which is one of the best if not the best community in Georgia) area for a few years, there is no way you can drink tap water! I actually installed filter to take shower!
A l9t of people misconstrue drinking tap water us safe because they aren't aware hidden under the kitchen cabinet is a set of water filters. They assume drinking tap water is safe.
Me too. We don't drink off tap water, we filter the tap water even for cooking. One should look at how dirty the filter is after filtering a short time. Imagine these dirt went into your stomach.
lol the American mercury/lead water crisis.
Agree, Georgia’s water is not the best. My wife loses her hair after a few years. Installing a filter system is a great idea here.
highly recommend Dali, Lijiang, Kunming,
Xishuangbanna, Yangshuo, Zhangjiajie and Furong ancient town.
They can’t because the 144hr visa only applies to several major cities’ entrance
144hrs means 6 days 😊

If you have done some research and made some judgment, you will know that there was no massacre at Tiananmen Square, and the video of students blocking the tanks was taken out of context. The full video shows the tanks trying to avoid the students several times, and finally the students climbed onto the tanks and tried to open the hatch, and finally a few students came and took him away. None of the student representatives died, and they all arrived safely in the United States. If there was a massacre or arrest, why were they able to leave China safely?
They knew it and they don't give a ...k
Very happy to have fun in China. The words next to the Chairman Mao portrait means the RPC forever and the great unity of the people of the world forever. They have excellently interpreted our Chinese people's love for the country and our affection for the friendly people around the world.

Who said the reason to banned the food carts for improve the air pulltion?That's so ridiculous. Actually the primary cause is traffic congestion,as evidenced by the overwhelming volume of people you can see on the roads.
They're used to reading fake news and anti China propaganda.
The words "世界人民大团结万岁" on Tiananmen Square mean that the highest honor is the great unity of the people of the world. They are written in the most important place in China. The Chinese army guards it. When placed together with Mao Zedong's portrait, it shows how much the Chinese people yearn for world peace. And they have been making similar efforts, instead of causing the tragedy in Gaza like some countries.

The military isn't commonly seen on the streets of China. What you saw was exceptional due to being the political core, akin to Capitol Hill or the WH. I could be wrong but I think they're more secret service and ceremonial honour guard than actual PLA troops. In China, general police are literally called Public Safety officers and don't carry firearms. They have special police units that do carry firearms and paramilitary police units.
Regarding TS, I suggest doing your own research with an open mind and not rely on Wiki (a poor source of info). When I did, there wasn't much quality info and I couldn't conclude what exactly happened but of confirmed pieces of info, I found the "accepted" narrative to be dishonest to say the least.

The poor little duckie did not deserve any of it, but was a good sport nonetheless 🤣 Unfortunately, we didn't make it to the Forbidden City, but fortunately, that is a good reason to come back to Beijing. We really enjoyed it there and would love to spend even more time in the city ✈️🇨🇳
Lovely video! Great picture and sound quality! Although I have to say, that little ducky deserved a better fate. lol I couldn't stop laughing with you guys. It just kept getting worse and worse!
Aww, thank you for the kind comment, we really appreciate it 😃 But you are right, the ducky deserved a much better fate 🤣 It was a slippery slope 😅
中国最美的自然景观是四川省的九寨沟。
瀘沽湖，稻城亞丁
和新疆内蒙古比不了

No, what is truly beautiful are the unknown mountains and lakes in western Sichuan.
Please don't use this “most” word easily to compare different sceneries. Different landscapes has their different beauty. They can't be compared.
The chopsticks and the duck part is priceless 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We were definitely on the struggle bus 🤣
13:20 no , basically that’s because the food stands and the line would block the sidewalk. So they are all moved to some certain areas.
Ah, good to know, thanks for sharing 🙌
I'm from Singapore, in early 50s - 70s, lots of street food stalls (hawkers) . Our Govt built 'hawker centres' with installed with water, electricity & gas supply. Also proper seating areas for patrons. They are cleaner & more hygienic. That's from the mid 70s till today. We have even more such hawker/food centres in our housing estates.
Haha it’s not pecking duck, it’s Peking duck
I hope more people will see this video, thank u.
Thank you, we really appreciate it and had a great time in Beijing 😃
Yes! That whole building is a book store! 😂😂😂
Guys people usually don't eat the duck skin alone. You need to first wrap it up with other ingredients and sauce like a taco.
22:28 that is a whole bookstore, places like that are common in China
Regarding the street food and pollution..(specially in Beijing or northern provinces) is that bbq is a huge cultural thing in the north and the street hawkers use charcoal which emits carbon into the atmosphere, majority of their carts were Diesel operated which increases not just air but noise pollution as well
the poor duck ，the eye and even the head off😂 😂😂
Ive once lived in Beijing for 3 years , and i miss it so much ( not including some really weird local traditional beijing snacks) .
Anyways , welcome to Beijing , and wish you a pleasant journey and all the best😁
Thank you for saying hello. Beijing was amazing, so we can understand why you miss it. Can't wait to explore more of China ✈️🇨🇳
The lie about the "massacre" must be the most well kept secret about recent modern chinese history. 😂😂😂
I can't believe that he actually said that it was shown as a thing in his textbook, truly infuriating .
China in a nutshell: "We can't make or hide it, so we fake it."
Chinese people know just don’t want to talk about it. Understandable as you probably don’t hear Americans talk often about the Massacre at Wounded Knew or Ludlow Massacre. How many Americans know about Tiananmen vs how many know the Forbes and Perkins families got their wealth from selling opium in China, or FDR’s mother grew up in Hongkong accompanying her father who was also a major opium trader in China at the time?
体力不错，这一天得3万步。。
Amazing place with rich history
Totally agree, it was a great place to travel to ✈️🇨🇳
Glad the waiter show you guys how to eat the Peking duck. While I was watching I saw you guys eating the duck by itself. I say Oh no that’s not the proper way to eat. I wish I was there to help. 😂😂
The waiter was very kind and helpful 👏 And thank you for wanting to help, that is so kind 😃
中国很多美食😊
Nice seeing you visiting my birthplace I had not been to for eight years.
Aww, thank you. It was a wonderful experience for us and we wished we could have stayed longer. Hope you will be able to visit soon too ✈️🇨🇳
希望你再次到达中国看看😊
I really did enjoy your video. Looking forward to more of them.
Thank you so much, more coming soon 😃
I thought the eye bit was so funny.
But when the head came off, I lost it, man!
In winter, the temperature sometimes below -10c
the chinese words on the tiananmen square '世界人民大团结万岁' means 'long live the great unity of the people of the world'
China really is the most advanced country!
We had a great experience
If people are just like this couple here, so positive on everything, I am also one of those that believe in “things happened for a reason” another one I believe in “if it’s yours it will always be yours”. Others faced with some frustration like their tickets and got stuck in Tiananmen Square would have complained.
Beijing yogurt is the best. Lamb kabobs for street food. The Forbidden City was forbidden when I was there due to the 70th anniversary of the PRC. Very safe and incredible infrastructure. The people are friendly and helpful. China should be on everyone’s bucket list IMHO.
Looks like another nice couple visiting china....subbed
Aww, thank you so much, this is such a nice comment 😃
The cannon fires are due to a State Visit by a foreign head of state. You guys got lucky.
We did get lucky, it was very cool to be there during such a moment 😃
Feel happy for you guys had a great time there! And by the way, when did you take these videos? Because it is obviously summer now in Beijing, but nearly all video clips here seem like in winter or early spring (because the trees don't have leaves)😋
Thank you so much, we honestly loved it in Beijing. And you have a good eye, we were there in mid-March. I think it was the cherry or peach blossoms that were just starting to bloom at the time. They were so beautiful even then, but we would have loved to see them in full bloom 🌸
可能是普京来北京 那一段时间
@@ThePassportCouple 中国好玩的地方太多了 欢迎外国朋友来中国 体验不一样的外国风景 哈哈
3月在北京玩不算好时候啊，下次可以去看看四川，云南哦。
That yellow duck dessert incident 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It was definitely a memorable experience!! 😂
That’s not how locals eat it. We usually dip the duck in the sauce and then wrap it up with the pancake.
The second duck: aminos!😂😂😂
Wow, even you got a few things wrong (such as why the stall was banned, etc.), you two (especially the beautiful lady) do know quite a lot about China. That's something very rare for people from the West.
You even know 'Great Hall of the People', that's crazy.
All the best!
The Chinese respect their national flag. They are patriotic. They are NOT nationalistic.
In fact, environmental pollution is affected by many aspects, in March, Beijing was affected by the northwest wind, sand from Mongolia accumulated over the city, at that time on March 15, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment analyzed and predicted the air quality at that time: Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas: In the second half of March, the northern part of the region is mainly good pollution, and the central and southern parts are mainly good to light pollution, and some periods may have short-term moderate or above pollution. Among them, on the 16th, the upper air was controlled by the pressure equalization field, the surface wind field gradually weakened, the wind direction was southward, the boundary layer height was low, the diffusion conditions were unfavorable, the north was excellent, the central and southern parts were mainly light to moderate pollution, and some cities in the central part may have short-term heavy pollution. From afternoon to night, due to the influence of the sand and dust process that may occur upstream, some parts of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and Henan may have short-term severe or above levels of PM10 pollution. Beijing: In the second half of March, the temperature continues to be warm and the diffusion conditions are unfavorable. It is expected that three air pollution processes will occur on the 16th, 22-24 and 29-31. On the 16th and 17th, the cold air carrying sand and dust may cause the PM10 in Beijing to exceed the standard during the transit period, and the air quality is good during the rest of the period. Among them, on the 16th, under the control of low pressure, the mid-level heating turned to the south wind, and the upper level entered the ridge area, the diffusion condition was poor, and light to moderate pollution process was expected.（京津冀及周边区域：3月下半月，区域北部以优良为主，中南部以良至轻度污染为主，部分时段可能出现短时中度或以上级别污染。其中，16日，高空受均压场控制，地面风场逐渐转弱，风向偏南，边界层高度较低，扩散条件较为不利，北部优良，中南部以轻至中度污染为主，中部部分城市可能出现短时重度污染；午后至夜间受上游可能出现的沙尘过程影响，京津冀、河南局部可能出现PM10短时重度或以上级别污染。北京市：3月下半月，气温持续偏暖，扩散条件较不利，预计16日、22-24日和29-31日将发生3次空气污染过程，16-17日，冷空气携带沙尘，过境时段可能造成北京市PM10超标，其余时段空气质量优良。其中，16日，受低压控制，中层升温转南风，高空进入脊区，扩散条件较差，预计出现轻至中度污染过程；）here are orginal source：baijiahao.baidu.com/s?id=1793602646818741844&wfr=spider&for=pc 🥰and have fun in china
