your probably not going to read this 4 years on but Shenzhen has changed A LOT since and it is truly one of the most modern and cleanest cities I have ever been to.
I was born in Shenzhen and so glad to see you share this video about Shenzhen to let people know about this city.
me too:)
I love this video so much! Very well said and really gives you a good idea of what Shenzhen is like.
I don't, I just work really hard when I'm back in the U.S. and save up as much money as I can and then take off again.
do you know another Shenzhen TH-camr @serpentza ? He living in Shenzhen for quite a long time.
Shenzhen TH-camr ? You could go to jail for uploading video to YT.
Tom Chan thats not true...
He's away right now filming a TV series
You have done a great job showing what Shenzhen looks like in this video, Poppy. Keep it up.
Thanks!

This is SO DIFFERENT from the US and I love it. Thank you for sharing!!
It is completely different from what the media shows. I came to China with so many misconceptions. And now it is my home and I love it here.
haha,welcome to Suzhou China
Its still dirty as all hell in some places and you cant deny that. Also most western ladies dont like pooping or peeing in holes. As a guy its all good, I take it as a challenge. But its not all hunky dory. If youre blonde people will stare and think youre a freak and the daily smells range from sewer to raw sewage to tasty food place to urine filled side streets.
ppl in Us do it under the brige , no job no future
You can see that in the US as well.
Ha. I'm working at line store in nanshan district. so welcome to visit us
You need the Baidu Translate app! That's how I translated my air conditioning remote, my washing machine, screenshots of websites, menus, labels on products... Anything! Just take a photo and it translates for you. You can also have a Chinese person talk to it and it translates conversations. It's awesome, it's how I survive here! And yes, WeChat is indeed f-ing awesome...
Or you can use Youdao translation app which u can just use camera to scan the text
Kj Huang... Yep my Baidu Translate app has that feature too
Veronica Turtle Heart cool
ha ha in china everything asks Baidu
Google translate works in China lol
Guys if you want to see Jordans outlook on China, checkout her video here: th-cam.com/video/_k89I2p1x9w/w-d-xo.html
when she said "it's like China Town" 😂
Sahil K th-cam.com/video/e6rTJqxkhFI/w-d-xo.html
Jajaja
Chinatown in China lol
Love your video! I was born and raised in China but have stayed in the US for 3 years. I feel sorry for those who are ignorant about the rest of the world than their home country, especially when it comes to American people holding biased opinions about China based on some biased bullshitting medias. China is country with good parts and bad parts, modernized places and underdeveloped places and places that you might think ghetto, but it's a generally awesome country worth visiting. Please keep uploading these awesome videos.
I would recommend you going to the deeper and more western China, places like Xian, Lanzhou or Xining that are less developed and more conservative compared to Shenzhen but also would be mind-blowingly enjoyable.
hi,i am living in NanShan district, welcome to ShenZhen.
smile jedi 南山区?以前我住莲塘
World Citizen 何?! (T ^ T)
I live in Longgang district。我住龙岗鸭
Haha
Hello bro,
I want to know what is the average wage for a junior engineer in Shenzhen ?
Please do reply.
😊😊😊
@@someshvemula9966 it could range vastly from USD20,000 - 500,000 in terms of annual income, including sallery, bonus, dividends etc. It actually depends on your skills, position and what company you work for. This is why the house price shoots skyhigh in Nanshan district of Shenzhen where most of the IT engineers are based.
Welcome to Shenzhen! I am a Chinese, I live in Shenzhen for 8 years. Love your videos, it is great way to see how a foreigner feel about Shenzhen/China.
That was more informative than a lot of other videos I watched.I've been wanting to go to Shenzhen for some time and after watching this I want to go there soo much more. So... Thank you. I certainly hope you post a lot more informative videos about the different districts within Shenzhen, what you find there and hopefully surrounding cities as well. Xixixixixixi
I was planning on going to Taipei for an extended period.... you've made me re-think the whole thing. Like you, and I haven't even been there yet, mainland China is not what I thought or have been told. You've definitely got me thinking and I need to do some more research. Great Video!
Nice videos!!! I was born in Shenzhen and lived there for over 20 years. Now I'm living in San Diego. Your videos really make me homesick.
I'm not sure if you are still in Shenzhen. If so, I suggest you to visit OCT, it's like balboa park in SD. More importantly, just try some barbecue restaurants and bars at Shekou, Coastal City, or around Shenzhen University at the midnight. Barbecue seafoods and beers are the parts that I miss the most. If you are a fan of pop music, which I do, there will be a lot of free band shows (guitar, drum kit mostly) on the square in front of Shenzhen concert hall & library every Weekend's night. Natural scenes at Wutongshan and Shenzhen Bay are wonderful. It would be great to rent a bike and ride along Shenzhen Bay at nightfall. It feels like La Jolla Cove. No need to visit beaches in Shenzhen though, they are crowd and beaches in San Diego are way better .
Glad to hear good comments on Shenzhen! Lots of memory for me to throw back my hometown-Shenzhen! Enjoy your life in Shenzhen:)
China has been changing a lot! Last time I visited China was 9 years ago. You know China more than me now. Thanks! enjoyed to watch!
thanks for the video poppy! loved the energy! fellow shenzhener here, grew up there and moved to canada for schooling and stayed, but go back to visit from time to time.
hope you can keep up the positive energy while living in china, as it can get rough from time to time due to cultural and social standard differences with the West.
bro tip, write down english phrases on cue cards and translate into chinese using internet, then use cue cards to communicate.
haha okay I will give it a try! Although, the charades communication game is still pretty funny to me!
Man this is my hometown! I love how you speak fast and clear without nonsense. I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks for this video, it was so cool to see! I lived in Shenzhen in 1997. I was performing with a dance company at "Window of the World" and it was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! No one spoke english at that time and we were assigned interpreters and guides who took us around the city. Are you still in Shenzhen now? If so, how was the whole covid experience?
I LOVE this video. You are straight to the point with rambling, and talk about what I need to know. Super educational
Hey. I'm moving to China Shenzhen in March to go teach English and I found this video way more helpful than others I've seen. Please keep posting more! 😊
I really REALLY enjoyed this video! you did such a good job at giving your public a real feeling of life in China!! I'm subsrcibing :D I really want to move to China eventually for a while, and this video is just so inspiring!!
This was really helpful for me to get excited about moving to Shenzhen this coming August! Thank you for sharing
lorma goonbus Welcome to Shenzhen!☺️☺️☺️Love from China.
I am originally from Shenzhen, China and went to Singapore cuz of my parents in 2015. Your video really brings me back to the beauty of my hometown. Your choice of district is decent, I lived in Nanshan and I would say Nanshan and Shekou are the best districts.
I lived in Nanshan and Shekou 10 years ago. It is very interesting that humongus change has taken place in the city and still there are areas that haven't changed at all. Miss the place so much and I really love the city.
Your smile is so lovely. The place like Baishizhou used to be country side, but with the rapid development of the city, it's been wrapt inside of the city. People call places like that "Cheng zhong cun", means the country in the city.
I am so glad that you are doing this video! I am from Shenzhen and also live in NanShan. People have misconceptions towards China, and your video does a great job explaining how Shenzhen really is. Hope to run into you some day!
Hah, I also moved to Shenzhen early this year. It's good to know this city from your point of view. Super funny haha. Keep it up!
Great video.
You're lucky too. I had a guy I worked with 20 years ago who died when his apartment flooded and he was electrocuted when he touched a faulty lamp.
ahhh thank god I'm hearing about his after the fact or I would have been shitting my pants haha
I’m been to Guangzhou, Shanghai, Guangdong and Beijing. Try there. It’s definitely much much better. Shenzhen is like okay but not really the best
I just came from Shenzhen over the weekend. Such a great city. Your videos are very cool too. Keep up the great work 🎉
Wechat is Dominant in shenzhen,because the location of Tecent headquarters is in shenzhen.
Other cities, alipay is also very powerful,and is used everywhere to pay bills , nearly the same as wechat.
Wechat dominating the world haha
Those wires above are telecommunications cables. not that much voltage travels through them. Still don't touch them.
My place got flooded too by washing machine. Sucks sooo bad. Make sure you dehumidify your place after a flood to avoid mold which is very prone to appear in humid places.
Keep exploring new things 👏
Hassan Rana th-cam.com/video/e6rTJqxkhFI/w-d-xo.html
The is the second video I've watched and I decided to subscribe to your channel. Her personality and perspective is sooo likable!
I Live in Shenzhen,too. My dad works there. I comes back every June
Really happy to see that you guys enjoyed yourself so much in China. Lol.
And I think if you have a Chinese friend who can help you, it will save you from all those troubles. Lol.
th-cam.com/video/e6rTJqxkhFI/w-d-xo.html
I'm a chinese teen, and I so proud of you love China.
I'm in Shenzhen too! See you at the Brew😊
Veronica Turtle Heart hi Veronica...😘😘😘😘😘😄😅😄😄😄...
hello hello hello!!!
Veronica Turtle Heart Hallo Hallo Hallo....😂😆😆😆😆
Hey I've just moved to Shenzhen
Hey I lived in Shenzhen for years. I loved Nanshan. Baishizhou is a great place to hang out, the back alleys near windows of the world are great for beer and nightlife. If you bump into Tyler from Canada tell him Hi for me.
The roads and streets are narrow in Shekou,which I think is more walk-friendly...there are some nice restaurants hiding in there within the alleys waiting for u to explore,nice video and have fun!
Thanks for the Shenzhen tips! Not enough videos on this city. Excited to visit.
At 3:38, I think it is electrical wires, maybe like cable too. We saw that a lot in Beijing, Zhengzhou, and Guangzhou, electrical wires running everywhere on the outside of buildings. Still enjoying your videos. It was great when we visited China in 2014 and in February this year for two and a half weeks each time.
Nanshan is developed way later than other city center districts, that's why everything's new. It's nice to see my city from your eyes.
Hi, welcome to my hometown Shenzhen. My home is also in Nanshan, quite close to that 白石洲. I maybe able to answer your question about why there are places like 白石洲 within a modern city like Shenzhen. 白石洲 is one of those places we called 城中村 (meaning: village within a city), they usually have longer history than that of Shenzhen city, ie they exist before the founding of Shenzhen. Shenzhen as a city was found in 1980, the area where now Shenzhen lies on was just a vast farm land / jungle / fruit garden back then with small farm and fishing villages such as 白石洲 scattered around. Since Shenzhen urban area has been expanded so much, places like 白石洲 which were originally outside the urban area have now been engulfed and become 城中村.
Great footage. Well-done video
So cool! I'm planning on going out there hopefully next year. Watching these is such an inspiration. I hope my videos can eventually be this incredible!
as a Shenzhener, I appreciate your comments on Shenzhen
AWESOME VID, KEEP EXPLORING
Great videos.. Thanks for posting. Asia is Paradise and life is great. I am seriously considering a stay in Shenzhen for a year or so - a change from Thailand for awhile. Your video gives me more confidence for what I seek in China.
I empathize with the apartment becoming waterlogged. I used a coin operated laundromat in Europe. What looked like a regular washing machine squirted dry cleaning chemicals over my clothing. I never figured how to get hot water out of the shower head. By accident I found if I let the water run for many, many, many minutes eventually the water would get hot.
Definitely, you can live in China on less than $2 a day if you wanted to it's a magical place. But like you said if you like you can live off a ton of money. You Should head out to Huizhou or Donguan. When you head to North Huizhou it's amazing. I get the celebrity feeling. The horns are everywhere. Even on cars. Chinese people are the friendliest people I have come across and if you know Chinese and talk to them they will treat you like family.
Last week In was in Huaqiangbei area and with my 6' 2" I had full attention from everybody. I have only seen one other non-chinese and with my broken Manderin it was a lot of fun. Will return soon (next week most likely).
Love your video very informative and interesting. It's a just joy listening to u. I'm currently living Shanghai loving it as well!
Hey thanks for the vid. Local here. Those wires are electrical wires but also probably tv, telephone, and network wires etc as well.
The place what I live is OCT, just near by the Baishizhou. This two places are so close but so different! Full of childhood memories! Highly recommend you go to the Shenzhen loft. Name of the subway station is Qiaochen Dong. Bring someone you love, and have a coffee or drink in here in the evening. Soooooooo ROMANTIC!!!!!!!!!! BTY LOVE YOUR VIDEO!
Awesome. Looks like a fun life you get to live.
Great video ! I live in High tech park,Dachong new city ,my apartment is exactly like yours ,have a nice time in Shenzhen, cheers !
Beijing is similar. Lived there 4 years. The divide between the central business & financial districts and the ordinary streets is startling, but China is a developing country and it can get just plain nasty sometimes.
Hey cool video. I googled “living in China” and I found your TH-cam channel. Thanks!
Nanshan is now extremely expensive, especially the housing. Office building rent USD25/Sqr M easy. that's why the new business area is pretty empty.
Sounds like you are having fun and getting the hang of things. Just try to learn one new chinese character each day. Try to learn the characters for common things like signs or foods for example.
Subbed!! I spent 15 years living in Shanghai before moving back to the States and your vlogs are making me super nostalgic. Enjoy your time there!
Same here. I lived 3 years in Jiangxi province and I always find myself watching videos of people in China. I am planning to go back soon! I love China!
Baishizhou(白石洲) is what we called it 'a country town within the city'. Because the urbanization happens so rapidly in China and the city expands so fast that what once was rural now becomes part of the city overnight (well, over 3-5 yrs).
You should go to my hometown Guangzhou(广州) sometime (It's so close to Shenzhen!). It's a much larger city than Shenzhen, but at the same time, we have lot more historic buildings/districts since it has been one of the biggest cities in China for sometime (a century or so).
Thank you for sharing your experience in China! It's really nice of you to try to accept and understand the difference. Google translate works pretty well on Chinese and I recommend you use it to understand some printed Chinese (maybe some handwritten).
I am living in Shenzhen , this video is real and would be an good example to introduce Shenzhen.
You went to the city where I used to live. The way of paying thing is so amazing right? I am studying in Australia, and when I went back there, there are so many new thing and amazing thing to learn and try. Try the Share Bike which the app named Mobike, this one is answer creation.
Carl Chen I've been living in Canada for several years. And yes, I felt the same as you did when I went back home in Chengdu. Things are changing fast
As a Chinese I actually like this vedio a lot. Never been to Southern part of China. Lot of fun to watch.
You're doing a great job, very informative, thanks
You can try out the beach area call Jiao Chang Wei Village, at Da Peng Bay ( East side of SZ )
you should go visit hangzhou and shanghai
I actually spent a week in Lin'an just outside of Hangzhou and it was absolutely amazing! :)
then I suggest you visit Yunnan province, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La， and Kunming.
I absolutely recommend visiting Yunnan province the views are just breathtaking!
Thank you for showing the world what China is really like while western media are blackening it. Keep up the good work! XD
Whos here after the coronavirus outbreak? on of my packages was being shipped from Shenzhen and its late.......
lol I ordered a phone case and am tracking its location and it is in Shenzhen.
Lol I have a bunch of orders from Aliexpress that's why I'm here too.
Cross Farm my masks is come from Shenzhen too lol it hasn't arrived it 😂
Same my clothes order is here apparently 😂 how did I get here
YEP, ditto.
Great videos beautiful!! 😚😘😘 I love ur opinion on things and your Natural beauty!
Poppy, you did not realize that you discovered the true meaning of life and that living in the way you are doing makes you more humana, rich and fortunate. You are a free spirit and feel happy because many can do not what you do.
罂粟，你没有意识到你发现了真正的生活意义，而且生活在你所做的方式上，使你更加富有，富有和幸运。 你是一个自由的精神，感到快乐，因为许多人不能做你所做的。

I have my lots of savings also... so I am planning the tour very soon... can I start tour from China? if you don't mind.. so that I can get a chance to meet you and Jordan... also.. my girlfriend is from China.. so we will be traveling together... 😋
3uNnYy _Life_Is_Lolzz well. China is so diverse, not only limited to Shenzhen, go other places will make you more excited.
Well, Don’t know if you’ll get this however, just letting you know you have Motivated me to take a trip to Shenzhen China. Thanks for all you do~!!!
I already miss SHENZHEN, their local foods and stuffs.
Linda I. K th-cam.com/video/e6rTJqxkhFI/w-d-xo.html
Shekou is actually a sub-district of Nanshan. There are also pretty high foreigner populations in Luohu and southern Futian district, near Coco Park.
Hi, I am Danny and I live in Shenzhen. I am glad you like the city, because I like it too. I just want you to know that there is another american supermarket called Sam's Club in Longhua（龙华）, Shenzhen. There are a lot of imported products there and they are not expensive.
Greetings from SheKou.. hope u can enjoy my city, our city:)
mei yang th-cam.com/video/e6rTJqxkhFI/w-d-xo.html
I lived in Nanshan for 7 years :) There are more and more tall buildings in Shenzhen.
if you like food, I will strongly suggest you to go visit Guangzhou and Foshan, where the cities famous with Guangdong food
lol, dont think those ppl living in poor area in Shenzhen are poor. THEY ARE MUCH RICHER THAN U THINK. they are all millionaires. Even the apartments in poor area in Shenzhen(like the area u filmed) are still worth millions dollars. I really like your videos. They are fairly objective and absolutely cool.
I've been living in shenzhen for almost 6 years, with an electrical door lock at my house, I can now just bring my phone out, and nothing else, no keys, no subway card(cuz we just had a new QR code scanner for subways installed), no cash cuz literally everything has a QR code, and coupons for everything on an app, free charging stations in the mall, or you can rent a power bank at any better restaurants, call an uber and pay online, or catch a taxi and pay by wechat. sooo yeah. welcome to shenzhen, china ;)
I love your vlogs Poppy :D
You should use instagram more often to post pictures. You can easily get a higher post reach there.
Gunik Maliwal th-cam.com/video/e6rTJqxkhFI/w-d-xo.html
One of the things I like in China is the variety of the lifestyles and the variety of neighborhoods. The "poorer" the neighborhood the sweeter the people (usually :)
Great video! However Shekou is not a district, it is part of the Nanshan district. I am glad that you like Shenzhen.
You are very welcomed. Enjoy your new home city.
the two outstanding travel guides .like u and ur work.
I am a Chinese who haven't been to China, and your videos make me want to book a trip there!
Baishizhou is one of those places we call "city villages". It's a place where people with lower income could only afford to live in since the average rent in Shenzhen is way too expensive to their wages.
love your channel. I am from Shenzhen and I my house is next to All City Shopping Mall.keep it up make me miss home :)
China has been changing a lot! Last time I visited China was 9 years ago. You know China more than me now. Thanks! enjoyed to watch!
Shenzhen is not so good and not so bad. Its really depends on what angle you look at it. Absolutely you look at it as passion and intersting
Nice video. Hope you enjoy staying in China.
WAS THAT A BAG FULL OF LIVE FROGS
Oh yes and they are yummy!
why torture them like that, just kill them and be done with it..
they need to be fresh and juicy
I'm sure the taste will be similar still. Atleast if you have an option to show mercy we should.
Morgan Green
Yes, they're going to be skinned alive after that.
I'm an professional interpreter who can work from any place in the world. I usually make around $1000 USD a month and wondering if that would be enough. I'm from Costa Rica.
I just left last month, can't wait to go back. Hey BTW, you can visit Guangzhou when you have time. 50miles from Shenzhen. You gonna love it.
