Xi’an (formerly Chang’an), Luoyang, Nanjing and Beijing are collectively termed the “Four Great Ancient Chinese Capitals”. Xi’an and Luoyang are respectively capitals of 13 dynasties, including the golden ages Han Dynasty (202BC-220AD) and Tang Dynasty (618-907AD). Qin Dynasty first emperor Qin Shihuang who commissioned the Great Wall and the Terra Cotta Army also made its capital there. Han Dynasty Martial Emperor Han Wudi initiated the Silk Road there connecting trade with the Roman Empire. Han Dynasty is also the namesake of Hanzi (Kanji in Sino-Japanese and Hanja in Sino-Korean), Han Chinese (biggest ethnic group in the world) and Hanfu (prototype of other Sinospheric costumes like kimono and hanbok and viet phuc). Tang Dynasty saw Japan sending tons of kentoushi (envoys to the Tang Dynasty) copying the whole Tang culture back to Japan. Nara Period and Heian Period were its contemporary periods where most of the supposed “Japanese cultural elements” appeared in those two eras after the envoys wholesale copied the Tang culture back to Japan. Nara and Kyoto (formerly Heian-kyo) were built based on the layout of Chang’an (Xi’an). That’s why you see different dynastic elements in this ancient capital Xi’an, including the Qin Dynasty Terra Cotta Army, the Han Dynasty Silk Road, and Tang Dynasty elements like the Sleepless Great Tang, and the statue of Tang Xuanzang in the middle of the city square, who was a Tang Dynasty monk sent to get Buddhist scripts from India. One of the Four Great Chinese classics “Journey to the West” is a supernaturalized version of the historic journey of this Tang Dynasty monk Tang Xuanzang, adding supernatural elements like the Monkey King Sun Wukong (the prototype of the Dragon Ball character Son Goku adding the characters of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee). Tang Dynasty was also when the Muslims first moved to China after the founding of Islam, which was when Uyghurs first settled in Xinjiang (formerly Xiyu) that was conquered by Han Wudi centuries earlier during the Han Dynasty. You should also visit the Daming Palace Archaeological Park where the grandest palace ever built in ancient history was built by the Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. There is a documentary called “Daming Palace and Tang Dynasty” searchable on TH-cam. The Pear Garden is another historical site where the royal concubine Yang Guifei (Yang Yuhuan was her name) used to make music and dances with her beloved emperor Li Longji. That’s why in Xi’an, you see the Qin Dynasty Terra Cotta Army, Tang Dynasty buildings like the Daming Palace Archaelogical Site, Great Wild Goose Pagoda, the statue of Tang Xuanzang, Pear Garden, etc, and Muslim street with halal food, because it’s the ancient capital of 13 dynasties. Enjoy your trip.
Mark Wiens has to be the kindest, most genuine, person in the world. His excitement is infectious. My favourite thing is how respectful he is of the food and culture. He doesn’t see it as a “challenge,” he’s just there to try and experience as much as he can.
What sets Marks channel apart beside the great foods and destinations he shares with all of us, we get to know and cherish the wonderful people he meets and gets to know along the way, wow.
@@pastaboy1338 I don't think so, Mark doesn't, but he leaves his subjective opinions behind, and simply try to be an observer of food he encounters. You can tell when he really likes it, he does so strongly, the "mmmhhh" and "wow", etc. When the food is so, so, he'd just say something like interesting, or something "neutral". This sets him apart from others in the channel, as anyone's opinion can be subjective, every one has different taste. Mark doesn't behave like a "food God" and his channel is more about experiencing and observing the diversity this world has to offer. I truly appreciate him for that.
Thanks for showing China for what it really is. I'm tired of all these China uncensored or China Insider channels that makes Chinese food look dirty and inedible and other negative things about China. Then all the comments say that China is Hell on Earth and that they wouldn't go for a million dollars. I wish people would experience it before jumping to conclusions
you are one of the rare vloggers who make us watch you emptying all the bowls and plates on the table and move on to the next restaurant for a repeat...amazing talent...envy you...
You know your a Mark Wiens fan when you can watch 20 mins on just one meal of lamb soup. China tops my bucket list at the moment and has for a while. Some much food and so little time...
Thanks, Mark, for showing the world that the food in Chinese restaurants that they see and enjoy is NOT all there is. There is so much more. The truth is that Chinese food is so incredibly diverse.
Usually, only a small part of Chinese food is eaten abroad. If you travel to China, in addition to street snacks and popular cuisine, if you want to experience more delicious and exquisite Chinese food, you can go to large restaurants.
If you eat the amount of spices and chillies that this guy eats, you will probably lose 10 pounds in the next two weeks, but some parts of your body will be hurting real bad
Hi Mark, I have watched many of your videos and finally you are in my hometown. Love your presentation and the food. My mouth is watering. Enjoy your time there. 👍🏻
Chinese food is very diverse, even the chili oil is very different. For example, the chili oil in Xi'an is very fragrant but not spicy. This is related to the type of chili, the oil temperature and the degree of roasting of the dried chili.
China is one of the the greatest cuisine in the world It’s the only one that has add to almost if not all the countries in the world You example if Marko Polo Didn’t go to China What would Italian food be just pizza China has touched the culinary world more than any other country
Hey man! I’ve always loved the channel and have learned a great deal through your journeys! I also travel for food, currently in Paris. Anyway, are you ever going to come out w/ a Mark Weins food guide? It would be incredible if you do! Many times I have to search through the channel to find the gems you showcase… If you ever come to the Bay Area, we would love o show you around. We know many restaurant owners and have one ourselves. Cheers man, thank you for all you do. Your message, your detail, your respect for others’ culture is so wonderful. Really appreciate you!
Mark, I am still hoping that you would go on try on chengdu, for the sichuan classic hotpot just like what Trevor unable to finish the whole extremely spice hotpot way back 7yrs ago. I always love watching your videos everyday with such favorites without even know what it taste like ❤😅. I am watching replay more than 3 times each video everyday with my favorite video of you even though some of it was 8 years ago uploaded. Fire with Trevor and Sonny 🔥🔥
Mark, finally you tried the swimming soup😂. 👍👍👍. My wife who is Indonesian when she came to my hometown and I brought her to try the mutton soup, she loved it very much, but she complained seriously about the amount of meat in each portion is too few, like people swim in the swimming pool, full of water. After that, this mutton soup has a special name in my family: swiming soup.
WOW!! Iwant some of that for my breakfast. Mark - Thank you for giving us that up and personal closeup of that soup preparation!! It is an amazing process and quite nutritious!! Excellent video!!
Do you see the resemblance in facial features of the Terracotta Army figures and Mark’s local guide Michael? That is the typical look of Qin people, who have been living in xian for thousands of years.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I think it is considered a "warming" food that can easily heat up the body on cold days in China. Thanks Mark for showing to everyone the unbelievable Jacuzzi experience of Xi'an good community.
Jacuzzi Mutton! 🍲🐑 The dedication it takes to cook an entire sheep overnight to perfection is just WOW. You can almost taste that rich broth through the screen! Incredible stuff, Mark!
I am Chinese, born in Hunan province, currently staying in Xi'an. I'd say that I'm not brave enough to try all those dishes here. You're so awesome as a traveloguer.
thank you for sharing Chinese food Mark .Love from China.its just a tip of the iceberg and there're still many more food waiting you to be discovered in China ! enjoy your journey of China and welcome !!!!!
love how he has 100 videos on food, and one reaction!! to every bite!! everything is the best hes ever had!!! nothing ever tastes bad!! love when people on youtube are authentic!!
The sarcasm is over the roof 😂 I think food blogger should knows all ingridients used in a dish. Not like, I guess, I think,... Plus describing the taste vividly, in detail etc
Shann Xi cuision is very special and delicious among Chinese food. Recently people opened 2 Shann Xi restaurants in Bangkok. Happy to see Thai people also like this flavor.
More exactly, this video is taken in a small town in the north of China, just need to spend no more than 20 RMB. Even in a small city, the restaurants are much modern; but there is still some small vendor- like street food in big cities like Shanghai, just for daily meals.
The cuisine looks extraordinary. I must admit, I primarily travel for museums and art galleries rather than food. Having said that, cuisine really is another advantage of going abroad! Thank you for the video!
Mark describing food preparation and savoring is like a pornographic director on the set. And getting a cab haul at 4 in the morning to catch a door opening of a breakfast joint is obsessive.
Mark... did you just reference a "foam party?" Maybe definitions have changed, but to quote Princess Bride: "I don't think that means what you think that means." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for your recent visit to our hometown. It was such a pleasant surprise to see you in our community, and your positive energy truly brightened the place! What made the experience even more special was witnessing your meeting with our Congressman, Khymer Olaso. It’s not every day that we get to see such meaningful interactions between influencers like yourself and local leaders. Your genuine interest in our town and its people is truly commendable, and it means a lot to all of us. Thank you for shining a spotlight on our beautiful hometown, and for being such a positive influence to your viewers. We’re proud to have had you here, and we hope to see more of your content featuring our community. Wishing you continued success in all your future endeavors!
It’s amazing that you shared some of the authentic Xi’an local cuisines My mouth is watering when watching this video😅😍 By the way I am so impressed by your eating raw garlic which is definitely welcomed by people in the northern China. Well you perhaps will never see those raw garlic pieces served in a restaurant of Shanghai. We just don’t have that eating habit 😂 Bravo à vous 👍👍 keep up your amazing food journey 😍🤞
Mark'll definitely gain some happy weight after leaving Xi'an.Like your video,keep keep it up please.And welcome to visit more cities ad get more amazing food❤
THANKS MARK!!! FOR SHOWING A PART OF HISTORY RELATED TO TERRACOTA WARRIORS. IT IS A GREAT DISCOVERY WHEN YOU LEARN ABOUT ANYTHING AT SCHOOL AND THEN BE A WITNESS OF IT. BESIDE THIS, THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!!
@ I have been a cop in Texas since 1997. Settled in a foreign soil. Visited Xian once in 2018 when my son graduated from high school. We spent 30 days in China. The high light of that trip was hua mountain. You need to pay a visit.
Hi Mark, You are a very expressive and contagious person, after watching your video, we all want to eat what you have eaten tomorrow and go to the place you have been to. Mark, you are a very interesting and attractive person, we all like you, thank you for your video! Bless you!
The soup looked delicious with all those ingredients to fix you a great meal.the second place s the noodles had great ingredients a lot of flavor to give you a great meal.
No thanks to the mutton soup,this is the first time I've heard of the terracotta Army very interesting I did love that and the noodles yum, Thanks Mark and friend and family,❤
The country of origin of noodles, lamian (ramen in Sino-Japanese) meaning pulled noodles, hotpot, chopsticks, dumplings gaozi (gyoza in Sino-Japanese), tea, mocha (matcha in Sino-Japanese), bean curd doufu (tofu in Sino-Japanese), soy sauce, miso, rice noodles fen (pho in Sino-Vietnamese), rice, rice wine, weiqi, penzai (bonsai in Sino-Japanese), paper folding art, malatang, tanghulu, zhajiangmian (jjajangmyon in Sino-Korean) meaning fried sauce noodles, etc., which Sinospheric cultures Japan, Korea and Vietnam can’t keep their hand off copying for millenia. ❤❤❤ love China……

He adds it to mask the bad tase.
See that Red chilli on his Green Tshirt 😂⁉️
A ladle full of chili 🌶🌶🌶

Yes definitely, so much to try in China!
maybe you meant “deliciously aromatic”
The restaurant that Mark picked is so famous and traditional! The travel guide is Excellent!
Only Mark could have "jacuzzi mutton" and have it be a completely normal video for him. 😂
Fr 🤣🤣
Thanks!
Wow now that’s a massive jacuzzi of bone broth! So interesting to watch that process Mark. Thank you for sharing as always
Thank you for watching!
It would be worth traveling to China just for that lamb soup dish.
Great stuff 👍
The mutton soup is really good! Especially on a cold day!
Come for the food, stay for the history. Thanks Mark.
