Hello are you still interested in going? I'm trying to go in the fall before their holidays. Let me know!
@@Cc2971 I recommend it, just make sure you’re aware of what’s going on so nothing prevents your trip. Make sure you also visit the smaller cities too. They are just as amazing as the major ones ☺️
Love Pleco!

Cheers..!!
You’re so passionate about this it’s nice to see😁
I’m going to China for a school trip this summer
Hi Kaja, wanted to ask about internet. Did you get their local SIM card there in the airport?
really have given a lot of useful tips！but recently many Chinese can master basic daily English conventions so no worry with the communications and daily life
English has a more rigid grammar system than Chinese, so the former is much more friendly for natural language processing programs. As a result, machine translation from English to Chinese works much better than the other way around.
True love for China....
Real Chinese food is fresh to all the ingredients required, so it's easy to spoil a few hours，But usually no problem.. What Americans eat won't spoil for a month.....China Tourism Tips，Go south in autumn, West in spring, North in summer and West Lake in winter.
Hey, thank you for the video! I am a dancer and I am going to China next week just to visit the place.. I was wondering if it would be a cultural shock if I danced (with Bluetooth head fones) in the middle of the street or some public place there because I want to make a video there.. Thank youuu
如果只有你一个人在跳舞，大家可能出于好奇偷偷看着你，但是绝不会反感。因为在中国的夜晚，城市广场上有很多老年人跳舞。我给你发信息的时候你可能已经早就到中国了，哈哈
what about the toilets are they normal toilets(westerns style) or hole in the floor toilet?
i liked watching this movie. keep going 👌
Hey ❤️. What is the best method of payment in Shanghai and Beijing?
Is it less expensive to travel China without your packages?
Can you communicate with people using drawings?
If i want water, could i draw it and show it?
Someday kaja will live in China a 3rd time. ;-)
I will for sure ;)
Which vpn you use? I paid for vpn and it never worked for one second
Nice beautiful video
Some other Chinese cities are amazing too. Why not try them?
Can you get Chinese subtitles?please.I can't understand some places.
Is social media banned over there in China ??
I've always wanted to travel to China but im not sure if I'll survive because I don't eat seafood at all:(
Do you get in trouble for using a VPN in china
I have bought a ticket at a train station speaking very little chinese as well, it's not too difficult. In bigger cities (even Tianjin) some people speak English but you can also use youdao to tell them where you want to do if worse comes to worst. Don't be scared. :)
ha, Tianjin is supposed to be a big city like Shanghai.
In what world?
In the PRC world -- Tianjin is one of the four "municipalities" directly run by the central government along with Beijing, Shanghai, and Chongqing.
There are some vast differences. Shanghai has a population almost double that of Tianjin, and also it's far easier to get by in Shanghai on minimal Chinese skills as a lot of people seem to speak a little English.
That's all true, but they're relatively recent developments that you're noticing. Tianjin was historically a big city comparable to Shanghai in importance. It was a large port city and a gateway into the Capitol of Beijing.
Shanghai has pulled ahead of Tianjin over the last few decades because it grew bigger and faster than Tianjin. Heck, even Shenzhen has become bigger than Tianjin and Shenzhen was just a quiet village town across the border of Hong Kong forty years ago
9:57 - tbh I'm mostly concerned about food safety
My plan was to use google what’s the app called again
haha，welcome to hangzhou
My favourite bit was when you were like 'who asks a TH-camr what the weather is like' hahahahahaha also just to let you know you spelt country wrong, sorry, thought I should let you know :)
Nico ahh I’m so bad at spelling 😩 thank you for letting me know though!
@@KajaKubicka I'm sorry I thought I best tell you as you spelt it 'cunty' which I though sounded a bit rude haha
Nice video, which vpn did you use in China?
Probably ExpressVPN, everything else has far more downtime.
thanks a lot @@ruedelta
As an international student can one fly Within China?
I use VPN in China so that I can use TH-cam ,Instagram or anything else!!😃 but...whatsapp can work in China without VPN...yeah...
翻墙出来的朋友你好啊
哈哈哈哈 大家都是
不需要的才是最危险的
Do you really need VPN to see TH-cam and Instagram?
国家现在越来越强大了现在美国也不是禁止华为发展了前些年中国穷啊这些年慢慢都搞起来了感觉现在政策好多了企业公司都可以翻老百姓限制也少多了
I learned how to go to china
what dictionary app are you saying?
Pleco
Have you come to Shanghai？
上海欢迎你，广州欢迎你
How does one speak Chinese? Isnt the language called Mandarin?
You so stunning 👍👍👍😘
Maybe you can try travel Tokyo, in my opinion as Asian, Shanghai is the oriental New York and Tokyo is the oriental Paris.
crazy
you should come back .haha
i knooow
I am Chinese
凯亚吗？
I have always used free vpns... I have downloaded several apps hahahah so if one of them didn't work for days I still had the others... Sometimes even if you pay for VPN it will just stop working 🤣🤣🤣
People mountain people sea
人山人海😁😁😁
how are you? 怎么是你？
@@xz1891 Why not 😂
@@xz1891 Oh, dear
原来如此
Good, maybe next time I can practice my English with those scammers🤔.
DO NOT USE GOOGLE TRANSLATOR UNLESS IT'S FOR VERY SHORT PHRASES
Look at the lens
Your skin tone in this video looks better than previous ones -- must be either a new makeup technique or the unpolluted Paris lifestyle.
Does jet lag really last about a week traveling from the states to China?
when you realise you were scamed 4 years ago walking around in Shanghai XD
Life
Therefore do not come to China now coz it's national holidays now, haha....Nov will be cool
Only I'm here to learn English 8 )

Good tips!You are more experience than some Chinese people.
Doesn’t China choose who come in the country and out. It is also in the communist party. I would rather travel to Japan because it is in the democracy party.
I had to stop your video in the middle. Because of what you said about the weather. Those questions are not stupid as someone who travels a lot. Because I will say that someone who is experiencing weather in Shanghai can tell you oh it gets cold you will need this and that from their own experience. So make sure not to offend your subscribers.
Wetter app hahah
As a western white female yourself, did you get sexually harass by Chinese men, i.e. forced kissing, inappropriate touches ( in any conceivable area) ?
