**SAY YES MORE**
it's extremely hurtful to chinese people to hear nothing but negative comments from western media. From those who hates china, sees China negatively, without being here in person. thank you for showing the world how china really is. And how friendly people are.
Whether you like it or not, China is one of the most beautiful, safest, and most modern countries in the world!
it certainly looks a great country to explore.
Totally agree with you!
I feel proud when Westerners visit China and make positive videos of their visits rather than those false negatively videos by the western media. Thank you. 🙏
I'm from Malaysia by the way and even though we are a Muslim country we are very modern as we are a multicultural country.
I've visited China four times and saw different regions. Every time I've visited... I've seen big improvements.The greening of the city is very good, and there are many electric cars on the street, which proves that the Chinese government attaches great importance to environmental protection.What impresses me the most is that life is very convenient, a cashless society, the subway system is very new and clean, and the people are very friendly.Other than some culture shock, I feel China is very safe. You can also go out late at night. China's technological level is beyond my imagination. I feel that the future is in China.
China is trying to reduce noise pollution in big cities to improve standard of living, tourists benefit as well.
to reduce air pollution as well from motor vehicles.
yeah, Electrochemical do help reduce fossil fuel pollution and carbon emission,cuz electric in China comes from hydroelectric power,which cause less pollution but rely on natural terrain.@@voonjanted5043
This is due to the long-term accusation by American media that China's development pollutes the environment. As a result, China's environmental protection policy has become stricter and stricter.
The biggest reason is that we need to reduce our oil dependence, and the environment is important, but not the most important.
30 years ago, when I first arrived in Shanghai, China. I felt cool, I felt China was still behind us. There was a very small subway system. After that, I saw big changed every few years I went there. And the last time I traveled to Shanghai, and six other cities. I felt China is the future. We travel to the future. The US is falling far behind, sadly but truely.
China is the most fancy and beautiful place for my traveling around asia. This is a high-quality country keeping the best balance about the environment, living standard, convenience, scenery, price. You can enjoy the modern city, the clean and quiet countryside, the wide grassland, the high-altitude snowy mountains, the endless bamboo sea, the clear lakes and the beautiful desert. Whether from the city or the countryside, the facilities are very complete. Another such country is Japan, but the prices in Japan are relatively high, and the scenery is not so diversified. I also like Japan very much. Although I have returned to my home country, I have always missed life in China and the electric bicycle I stayed there.

This was our first visit but we'll definitely be back!

When I was in China a few months ago, I stayed at the same hotel "Holiday Inn Express ❤. Actually I love the hotel and the food was amazing ❤. I really enjoyed it 👍. The language barrier is a bit of a troubled thing ❤. But I really enjoyed my days in China 🌸.
❤ Shanghai is a magical city. The longest distance from east to west is 100 km. New and old buildings, culture, and society are integrated with diversity. Everything is unique! ❤
@@anglohan5428oh my, another anti-China shrill. 😂😂😂
@@truthseeker000000 oh my, another paid Chynese bot 😂😂😂
@@anglohan5428 This “Chinese bot” is from Singapore. I guess anything that seems remotely pro-China, or in praise of China is considered a CCP bot or a Chinese agent. Brainwashing makes people kinda stupid. 😂😂

I feel very sad when I compare traveling to China as an adventure for you, and I am also angry at the false reports of China by British and Western media. Although the Chinese government is very vigilant about certain political remarks, for tourists, China is the safest country in the world.
If the Chinese government's approach were radical, extreme, inhumane, and full of surveillance and slavery, then Chinese society and people would not behave like they do now. Basic logical judgment can easily expose the lies of the British and American media.
Only America is safe to travel to. Try New York and Baltimore.
Thanks BBC
@@anglohan5428come help us, we are so oppressed and hopeless
@@anglohan5428 Go talk to the United Nations in Europe and America. Talking is useless. According to world values, Tibet and Taiwan are both provinces of China. Even if the Palestinian state is recognized by the United Nations, it cannot be established. What do you care about? Human garbage, a rat in the eyes of 1.4 billion people.
Welcome to China! have fun!
Thank you so much 😊
Welcome to China..wish you and family enjoy your holidays in China ❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏🏻
@@anglohan5428I'm sorry but this Chanel is not for politics.... We are for different reasons.....

Amazing to find your channel , I typed in 144 China visa and up you come . This is exactly what I needed as we’re desperate to visit China . Being in our early 50s you get slightly more nervous than you would when young and free lol . Basically we can fly from London to Shanghai for a few days providing we have an onward travel ticket and accommodation booked . That’s pretty straightforward, thanks again for this mega helpful video
get ready to fall in love and get mindblown
There are another 10 or more options for your transit visa, which include Beijing, Shanghai,Shenzhen,Guangzhou and most of the big cities in China.
Tell you a trick. When you encounter any trouble, find a police and he/she will solve it for you. They are not called the people's police for nothing.
It is highly recommended that you get a tourist simcard, China exists in both online and offline dimensions and you can't access only half of them!
Are you talking about freedom riots?😢
In July 2023 I visited Shanghai with the 144hr visa. My initial ticket I purchased got rejected by the check in staff as it was Seoul- Guangzhou- Shanghai, the Chinese visa rules is you must go directly.
Once I landed in China the immigration were friendly and super professional.
I thoroughly enjoyed Shanghai , great city.
Shanghai and all of China’s 1st, 2nd and even 3rd tier cities, make my island-nation of Singapore look like a sleepy backwater village. China is so futuristic. It IS the future.
Nah Singapore is definitely not worse if not better than 1st tier cities in China
Singapore is more promoted by the western media because of their colonial past and alliance with the Americans, which doesn’t mean it’s the best in every single way. I’m okay that not a lot of people know what China really looks like, since there are already too many people here even with a slowing birth rate, but visiting and traveling is welcomed, thx.
As Shanghainese living in Melbourne Australia, our family watched this video together and enjoyed! and we laughed😂 so much through the video. Good to see Shanghai through this video again :)❤
Come back to see the prosperity of China, waiting for you.
This is a lovely video for a UK family unfamiliar with China first went to Shanghai. China is a country based on community so with young family members along that is the best proof how safe, convenient, easy and friendly is China. Chinese style food will be a lot cheaper if one has to careful with budget.
@@anglohan5428 But they are already free? especially from the Americans!
@@gunsumwong3948 They are not free from the Chynese!
@@anglohan5428 But they are Chinese themselves?
@@gunsumwong3948 No that's ur CCP talking point
@@anglohan5428 do you think you are Free? I don't think so....
A city theme park, wow! The night scene looks amazing! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video!
Thank you, it was an amazing sight to see!
It's the most crowded moment on National Day holiday. especially in Shanghai, Beijing and other famous destinations. There are various scene, food, history in different province of China. welcome your family to explore and wish you have a nice trip.
The surrounding cities nearby are very beautiful too…. Hangzhou… Suzhou… and some towns nearby with canals along which is a very traditional China back in the ancient city…
Zhouzhuang, Wuzhen
*The whole China is beautiful ................*
Welcome to Shanghai! But you should also visit more beautiful cities around Shanghai such as Suzhou and Hangzhou! Really beautiful and worth to visit!
If you like huge library, go Changzhou, Their library is an absolute must-see destination, unlike any others in the world.
“That has going to be the most incredible city view I have ever seen in my life.”
Yes,you are right.

I am glad you guys have plugged up courage and visit China after many negative reports from the western media. You have a lovely family with obviously curious minds to see the country that the west condemns. Hope you enjoy your trip and love to hear your honest opinions on China. 👍👍 From HK.
Shanghai is one of the busiest cuties in China and as you have noticed it is extremely busy and that shows the reports from the west that 'China's economy is collapsing' theory right out the window.
Very well said.
Negative reports is truth. Chinese must accept the reality.
The reality is China is doing great 👍

At the same time, some anti-China people who had never been to China posted videos saying that there were no tourists on the streets of China and that the economy was about to collapse.
A family full of love. China is a very friendly and developed country with many cities worth visiting.
Shanghai is among the most expensive cities in China, if you go to Chengdu or Chongqing, the food price is half compare that in Shanghai.
the best thing of china is due to the cultural diversity, all the major cities are very different. Shanghai is definitely the most modern city in China.
Great vlog guys well done your daughters are so cute and getting the education of their life they really are a part of your vlogs enjoy guys and best of luck...
Thanks Brian ☺ we appreciate your comments always 🙏🏻
Really can't blame you for being blown away by Shanghai. I wish more people in the world would get to visit the city. That 144-hour transit is actually pretty sweet!

You have a lovely family and I'm glad to see the British people have an honest view of China, usually we see British news accusing China of not doing things the Western way. I hope more and more British people will come to China to see it with their own eyes.
You are the people I am talking about, you must go and see the places you mentioned. So, if you actually speak for the people out there, you'll ask better, more relevant questions. Stop your hegemonic rhetoric and take a good look at yourself.@@anglohan5428

为什么别人诚实就要让你高兴?难道这不是应该的吗?

Worst thing that could happen is you have to pay rebooking fee to leave to your final destination right away.
But who would not love up to 144hrs (6days) in SHANGHAI China.
It was an awesome place to visit 💯
Highly recommended to you, take the girls to any one of the ancient water-towns close to Shanghai, some back to thousand of years but is tourist attraction now, just ask your hotel for the information.
One of the ancient water town very close is Zhujiajiao 朱家角古鎮,take subway line #2 to Hongqiao Railway Station, connect subway line #17 (approximately 40 minutes).
Good luck and have fun in my hometown.
Travelling is about trying new food, new adventures, new cultures!! The memories will stay with you for life!!
What a beautiful family! Shanghai is a great city. Enjoy.
I’m sure the family will appreciate the marvelous experiences in Shanghai, come back for more in-depth explorations! Have a great and memorable trip!
I visited China in 2007, and even back then it was way ahead of anything my country could offer. And its pace of progress since then has only accelerated, if anything. Good on them for moving ahead as a country, something that cannot be said for many other countries in the ‘developed’ world. As a family, you will definitely appreciate the safety aspect over there, but the same can also be said for quite a few countries in SE Asia.
SEA, or Singapore?
Thanks for the upload! The city looks absolutely awesome. If only people would turn off the junk mass media. No wonder TH-cam et al are cracking down on people. Soon such content as this will be banned. So glad you enjoyed your trip!
Great🎉 looking forward to more of your video from China
Hi and thank you so much for this video, I just happened to find your channel. Your family video here highlighting China is really wonderful, God bless you all, Mario
Thank you for showing me my hometown as I have not back home for 7 years. You picked up the buiest travel season to visit Shanghai as many people from other cities would take that national day holiday to visit Shanghai as well. Hope you enjoyed and share the experience to more people in your country.
What a lovely family❤ I really like your positive attitude~ Welcome to China and hope you guys have a great time in Shanghai.
Another awesome video, thankyou!!
🙏🏻
Very nice video. Last time I visited China was back in 2002. Seeing your video and Josie's really shows how much has changed and improved. Hopefully I can revisit again in the future.
Welcome to China! Going during the Golden Week is definitely crowded, but it sounds like your family had a great time!
Wow your enthusiasm for travel adventures is enjoyable viewing and inspires your viewers to see beauty of this world wherever we go.
And everyone loves visitors with such cute kids.
Happy to see your family spent the nice holiday in China. 祝福你们🎉
I'm from Shanghai, but why I also get very excited by what you see and what you experience. the vibes from your video is incredibly refreshing!
It's so exciting to see you family navigating and enjoying Shanghai. Could not wait to learn more what other fun things you do while you are there. 2 days seem to be too short .... Good luck
144/24=6 days 😋🤩
You have a beautiful family.
So great you can show your lovely children the real world by traveling.
My very best wishes to you. Peace🎉
Great vlog! Looks like an amazing place to visit. Shanghai is in my travel bucket list, hopefully happening in the near future.
This reminds me of taking my two older kids to China for the first time, visiting both Beijing and Shanghai when they were 4 and 6. The difference is that I do speak the language. To me, Shanghai and Shenzhen are the best cities to visit.
What a big family! I wish you guys enjoy the trip. Be back soon!
I happened to discover your video for the first time and enjoyed it. Will continue to follow your other videos.
Really love your vedio! Always feel warming to see your family!
WOW. What a journey, You´ve travelled all the way, despite all odds, from Bangkok to China on an airplane!OMG. This is amazing. And as a family of 5! That is truely incredibly.
It is really great to see such an enthusiastic and gungho couple! Have a great time in China. Hope you will come back again, but for more than 144 hours! 🤗

Your video is very interesting, what an adventure for a family of 5! Have a lovely holiday in Shanghai...subscribed.
Absolutely Loving your adventures in China! heading there in September (Visa fingers crossed!) Cannot wait!
Glad that your family enjoyed your stay in Shanghai! Come back again in the future!
Thanks for sharing your Shangai experience.
Your lovely little cuties are becoming little celebrities in China, love that. Btw, for night views you guys definitely should go Chongqing, absolutely cyberpunk and 6D.
We welcome your family to China and hope your children have a good time as well.🇨🇳🇨🇳❤️❤️
The city forest in Shanghai is an absolute Wow, and must-see destination, offering a unique and exhilarating experience unlike any other.
Glad your whole family is enjoying the first visit to Shanghai China. Hope more of your country people will visit China to have a new perspective of China. Huge progress within such a short span of modernisation. A country with rich history, civilisation and culture. Amen om mani Padme hung
Nice video. Hope you have a great time in China. Go to Nanjing Rd on a national holiday is crazy!!! I tried that once twenty years ago. Never again…😅
To much human.. 😂
It was sooo busy but something we will remember forever 😊
@@TheHutchinsonsVery true, you won't remember if it's not crazy. 😂
beautiful family!!! You all are very bless.
Can’t wait for more videos!
Welcome to Shanghai, my hometown. I'm glad you enjoyed your short visit, come again sometimes, there is much more to see.
Love that thumbs up after tying the noodles, it was tooo cute for words.
I lived in Shanghai for 9 years.... was a life changing positive experience. I went in with an open mind, and absolutely no regrets! I'm now considering retiring in China in fact. The smaller cities are incredibly cheap.
I am a local from Shanghai, and your video is very immersive. Welcome to Shanghai, China.
If you don’t have much time in Shanghai, I recommend exploring the French concession area on a shared bike or just walking around, those streets are full of big trees, unique architecture, nice little cafes, shops and restaurants
Welcome to my hometown and have good time here!😘
Cute family! Welcome to my motherland! Have fun and I am sure you guys will come back 😊
What a fabulous family.
Hoping to see more of your adventures in China.
Definitely a happy family!Welcome to china!
欢迎来中国旅游,中国值得游览的地方很多,以后可以多玩几天吧
谢谢 🙏🏻
Welcome to China!! 😃😃 Hope you had a nice stay!
Three daughters are so sweet!
Thank you so much for sharing. Hope to be there someday.
Great Video! I also remember being surprised by not hearing the e-bikes about to pass at full speed when I first came to China, it takes a while to get used to watching out for them! Love to see people visiting China for the first time, the Bund is incredible but you are very brave travelling during the National Holiday! The temperature in Shanghai does get intense and up to 35-40 in the summer months but it's just nice at this time of year. Enjoy the rest of your travels 👍
The ebikes are convenient and a cheap way to move around. The downside is a lot of the riders are bit inconsiderate. I am Chinese BTW.

Really like your vlog. Cozy background music, real experssion. Have a nice stay in China ! Hav fun and explore more here. Chinese people are always friendly ready to help.
You have a beautiful family and the two angels are so adorable, thanks for share the tours of China.
Just came back from Shanghai. Loving it.. The infrastructure and buildings, the foods and the night view at the bund was amazing. The only thing is I do not have a bank account in China. I can't use the wechat to pay. So only using cash. People there only carry little or no cash there... Only their phone. ❤❤also.. Lots of electric car..
you can tie your credit card to wechat. We did it when we were in China last month.
Very nice video Shanghai is a wonderful place. You really made it look so easy to travel with three children. Enjoy! ❤
I have been to China several times ,and different places throughout,I must say China is an amazing country,I hope u must have enjoyed your stay in China...😅
Great video. Glad you loved Shanghai! Liked. Subscribed.
Not everyone is as fortunate to have the chance to see Shanghai in the 21 st century. Maybe someday, you or your girls might move to Shanghai. Yes!
Nice vlog guys - Shanghai truly does look amazing
It is the busiest travel season in China during the National holiday.
Chinese Lunar new year as well is very busy.
Welcome the Shanghai. I hope you have enjoyed your short stay.
