This can't be right. Did they add a special filter to this video? I've seen many videos from western media. China's sky is always grey. No way it's this blue.
In my opinion, Shanghai has already surpassed New York. Not only is Shanghai clean and stylish, but it is also very advanced and safe, making it a great place to live.
BBC CNN: But there is no freedom in China. Indeed, Chinese people cannot urinate or defecate in the subway, cannot take drugs on the street, and cannot even shoot in schools.

Your current location should be in a district around Shanghai. If you have enough time, you can visit some ancient towns, such as Xitang, the place where Tom Cruise ran on the rooftops in Mission Impossible III. There are many such ancient towns around Shanghai. .
but the vloggers are quite positive in the video, why so triggered all of a sudden and went hysterical and political (it's just a travelling vlog). Did the person who posted the original comment have some sort of PTSD or something.
Also - I loved that you picked such an every day Chinese restaurant to eat at. Lanzhou Noodles are the Chinese equivalent of the local diner, where you goto eat quickly / conveniently. I just had some for lunch!
Happy birthday! Enjoy your experience in china. Don't be shy to ask for help and be open minded. PS: it looks like you're in the Pudong area of shanghai, it's quieter and more industrial. Cross the Bund to Puxi, where the nightlife, shopping malls and tourist areas are. Go around Wukang Road and Wulumuqi Roads for small cosy shops to browse.
You don't have to tip in China, Lanzhou noodle is a Muslim noodle restaurant owned by people from Qinghai province, and Wusu beer is a strong beer, it is a brand from Xinjiang, not a local Shanghai beer
@@JennandLeon there is a youtube channel called almost landing, started by an aussie couple, that highlighted a number of must try food item in shanghai... hope u will find them yummy
Where you visit is not downtown area which is full of business facilities, but suburb residential area, which can show the real life of average people.
@@JennandLeon However, I think the Huangpu River west bank reflects the real life of the local community in Shanghai, the east bank of the Huangpu River is a new area developed in the 1990s, and the west bank has been developed since the 19th century.😂
The most common mistake people make when using chopsticks, is they're holding it too low. Hold it higher towards the top for more leverage, it will be a lot easier!
Hi Jenn and Leon welcome to Shanghai, it's a very nice place for you to come and the people there are so friendly and you may say Nihao instead of saying How do you do, wishing you guys have a wonderful day.
the "philanderer" is a type of radish that has a colorful core, 花心萝卜 literal translation is "flower heart radish". its also what ppl call a guy who likes to play around (the expression is a lil bit dated but ppl still know what it is), so the translation translated the "player" part
Happy birthday! Welcome to China, China people's English is not very good, especially when they are older. It is strongly recommended that you buy an electronic turning device, which will be much more convenient and reduce misunderstandings in communication. I wish you a pleasant trip in China. There is a saying in China: If you meet with difficulties, ask the police, and they will be happy to help. .

Yes the sound quality on our Insta 360x3 isn't the greatest we need to get an external mic for it. It was also super windy. We do the best with what we have.
I saw many foreiners traveling in Shanghai these days, and you're the first ones who do not go to Yu Garden and East Nanjing road. These two places are actually almost only for travellers, and you can hardly find local culture there. Highly recommend you take a city walk in a sunny day along Julu(巨鹿) road, Fumin(富民)road，Changshu(常熟) road and Changle(长乐) road, where you can find a loooot of beautiful buildings built from 1860s to 1920s, which really represent the character of Shanghai culture: a mix of Eastern and Western classicism.
鱼豆腐是一种以鱼肉为主要原料制作的食物，通常经过混合、成型和蒸煮或油炸。尽管名称中包含“豆腐”，它实际上不含有豆制品。 what you have eaten is 鱼豆腐Fish tofu// it is a type of food made primarily from fish meat. The texture is somewhat similar to tofu, hence the name, and it is often used in hot pots, soups, or as a snack.
Happy birthday! 🍺 Nice to see you tried different restaurants like local people in this outskirt town in Shanghai, not like some other travelers only had snacks/street foods in tourism area! Yes, those restaurants you pointed in the video are different cuisines, the first one is Anhui and the one next is Hunan (which is famous for spicy dishes), and the noodle shop is northwest cuisine.
Jenn and Leon -Hello, the People's Republic of China has a vast territory. There are many regional restaurants in Guangdong Province. Guangzhou City, Dongguan City, Shenzhen City, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region can play for 3 months, and Macau Special Administrative Region can play for 15 days. There are only a few casinos. 你們好,中華人民共和國地廣,廣東省有很多地區飲食,廣州市,東莞市,深圳市,香港特別行政區可以玩3個月,澳門特別行政區可以玩15天只有幾個賭場,
FYI，There are many different hot pot in China, Sichuan hot pot is famous for spicy, Chaoshan beef hot pot is light and delicious, Beijing hot pot is copper pot boiled mutton, Chinese food culture is broad and profound, of course in Shanghai you can eat all these different flavors of hot pot, you can try!
@@JennandLeon Suzhu, Hangzhou , Nanjing is near Shanghai , Dragon boat festival is near , you can eat Zongzi in Hangzhou . Also it’s the season for eating litchi😋
Although I've flied in and out from Pudong Airport many times, I've never visited the area around the airport. Glad to see that in your video. Shanghai has many tourist attractions and most of them are in downtown area, e.g. the Bund, Yu Garden, Nanjing Road, Huaihai Road, etc. You'd better move around and look further, Enjoy your trip!
Question: Why don’t you just use Google Lens, Samsung Bixby Vision or Microsoft Translate apps to translate the menus and signs to English. You can download an offline language pack so you don’t need data / VPN to use. Just wondering.
Welcome to China. the restaurant Lanzhou noodle. It’s very common in China but it’s surprised to see the BBQ in Lanzhou noodle. the BBQ is looking good. In China there’re so many delicious food. It takes time to explore. Hope you enjoy your trip in China.
Some Muslim restaurants in China do not serve alcohol, but they do allow you to bring alcohol. So pay attention to this when choosing a restaurant. If you're a beer lover.
So hilarious to see that 花心萝卜 (red-core radish) is translated into “philanderer”. 花心 (literally, flower/colorful in heart/core of food) is used figuratively to describe playboys because they flirt with different women at the same time.
shanghai outskirt is peaceful, but it's worthy to go to the bund, shanghai, it's a top 1 must to go place for shanghai, hope you can visit the downtown area.
Since you gave the road sign, I checked on Google map and you guys are 40 minutes away from the city centre where the Bund is. That is quite far away. Although you're much closer to Disneyland, but it is still a 20 min drive. And since you're on the far eastern outskirt of the city. You're no where near where all the older districts are (i.e. the inner districts that are on the west side of the Huangpu River).
@@JennandLeon The older district are where one should visit, because the heritage sites and buildings from Republic of China (i.e. in the early 20th Century)are all over there. Since you are more than 40 minutes away plus time to travel further west if needed, you'd be surprised that you may stay 2 hr or more just commuting going to and from.
Thank you so much! We certainly did. We cannot wait to return and explore the country fuller. We love ancient history and architecture so we plan to do a month long visit into the fuller areas of China as well.
philanderer, lol, that radish I believed is what we called watermelon radish. the translation on the app is not actually wrong, but in another dimension, because the menu says that kind of radish is “花心萝卜”in Chinese, which is also a slang for a playboy, aka philanderer
The garlic is to eat together with beef noddle, bite garlic a bit and eat with noddle, all Chinese must consume immediately while it is warm. After 20minute? The foods is cold. Taste will be different. These shop are halal Muslim foods.
Yes we didn't know that at first. We only figured it out when he asked us if we were muslim. We were a little bit confused because we thought religious practices were not allowed. We learned so much in such a short amount of time.
Welcome to China and happy birthday to Jenn! Where you stayed is the outskirt of Shanghai. In Chinese terms It is not typical Shanghai. It's beautiful though. The "real" Shanghai should be the bund and people's park I am sure are on your bucket list. The noodle is a typical northwest dish, served by (mostly but not entirely) Muslim Chinese. Typical local dish are like pan-fried bun stuffed with pork, crab meat noodle, Fried baked scallion pancake. Go try them when you are in town. So basically It is like you visit New York, stay at New Jersey and try Texas food. Very unique experience though😊 China is huge, I wish your first visit be good enough for you to plan a longer trip to discover more of her diversities.
Thanks for the explanation! I suppose that is how people tend to travel. It is a little harder with the reading barrier and we were quite surprised honestly to even realize there was a muslim community in China. We are planning a fuller trip with a large visa to explore all of the areas. We both love ancient history and architecture. I (Jenn) love kung fu and I really want to visit the Shaolin Temples...we can't wait to explore the different cuisine as well. Thanks for the thoughtful and helpful comment!
@@JennandLeon Your shocking experience on China is not unprecedented, a lot of English speaking trvavellrrs have posted Their China vloggs after the post pandemic open up. I would suggest you take a look for your next trip planning. I am sure their experience will give you some inspiration. I would emphasis on the usage of online payment App WeChat and Alipay and how to get around language barrier using translattion apps. To name a few of the travellers: Sun kissed bucket list, two mad explorers, the Hutchinsons,alan & shannon, ken abroad, jetlag worriors,alina mc
you guys were just in a suburb so won't be too different from any suburb around the world. as you can probably tell, not many if any foreigners would hang around there so the locals were curious what you guys were doing lol. also no tipping in china.

Shanghai has many tourist attractions and most of them are in downtown area, e.g. the Bund, Yu Garden, Nanjing Road, Huaihai Road, etc. You'd better move around and look further, Enjoy your trip!
Question: Why don’t you just use Google Lens, Samsung Bixby Vision or Microsoft Translate apps to translate the menus and signs to English. You can download an offline language pack so you don’t need data / VPN to use. Just wondering.
Also, if you're a beer lover. It is legal to drink anywhere in China, you can drink while walking on the street.
No! It is illegal to drink alcohol while driving a motor vehicle or moving machinery!
@@dxJ-qt2th Of course, what normal person would drink while driving?
Gorgeous day to be out exploring!
Yes we we're very lucky! Nature was celebrating too!
Welcome to my hometown😊
Thank you 🙏🏼
Welcome 👍👍👍
Thank you
I wish you a happy birthday in China.🎉
Thank you so much!
20T means that the bridge can pass a maximum of 20 tons of trucks.
Welcome to China. the restaurant Lanzhou noodle. It’s very common in China but it’s surprised to see the BBQ in Lanzhou noodle. the BBQ is looking good. In China there’re so many delicious food. It takes time to explore. Hope you enjoy your trip in China.
北京的兰州面馆里面都有羊肉串呀
China is really beautiful and there are a lot of beautiful scenery.
Yes we had a wonderful time!
Welcome to China and enjoy it❤❤
Thank you 🙏🏼
Some Muslim restaurants in China do not serve alcohol, but they do allow you to bring alcohol. So pay attention to this when choosing a restaurant. If you're a beer lover.
welcome and enjoy china
Thank you!
amazing China❤
happy birthday jenn,by the way i like that beef noodles and im very hungry now😂
Thank you! Yes they are delicious.
So hilarious to see that 花心萝卜 (red-core radish) is translated into “philanderer”. 花心 (literally, flower/colorful in heart/core of food) is used figuratively to describe playboys because they flirt with different women at the same time.
shanghai outskirt is peaceful, but it's worthy to go to the bund, shanghai, it's a top 1 must to go place for shanghai, hope you can visit the downtown area.
Since you gave the road sign, I checked on Google map and you guys are 40 minutes away from the city centre where the Bund is. That is quite far away. Although you're much closer to Disneyland, but it is still a 20 min drive. And since you're on the far eastern outskirt of the city. You're no where near where all the older districts are (i.e. the inner districts that are on the west side of the Huangpu River).
Yes that is all correct. Both distance and community. What is the point you are trying to make?
@@JennandLeon The older district are where one should visit, because the heritage sites and buildings from Republic of China (i.e. in the early 20th Century)are all over there. Since you are more than 40 minutes away plus time to travel further west if needed, you'd be surprised that you may stay 2 hr or more just commuting going to and from.
Great, you had a perfect birthday in China. Wishing you happiness forever.
Thank you so much! We certainly did. We cannot wait to return and explore the country fuller. We love ancient history and architecture so we plan to do a month long visit into the fuller areas of China as well.
the mushrooms are called needle mushrooms, which is a delicacy in china.
They were so good! We enjoyed them very much
@@JennandLeon它们有个另外的名字，叫“明天见”，今天吃到肚子里，明早你还会见到它们😂
生日快乐❤❤🎉
Thank you 🙏🏼
Chongqing is a good and distinctive city, and I hope you can explore and visit it
Yes thank you we have it on our list!
philanderer, lol, that radish I believed is what we called watermelon radish. the translation on the app is not actually wrong, but in another dimension, because the menu says that kind of radish is “花心萝卜”in Chinese, which is also a slang for a playboy, aka philanderer
I see! Thank you for the clarification!
❤❤❤happy birthday 🎉
Thank you!
Keep up the good work 🎉❤ I love your videos
Thanks Cody and we love you!
@@JennandLeon love you too girl 😘 can’t wait to see you again and get all the behind the scenes details too!
如果你们有时间的话，中国适合深度游。上海可能是全国消费最高的几个地方。建议你们多和路人，店主聊聊，问问哪里有好吃的。大多数人都很愿意帮忙
Thank you for the suggestions. Yes we plan to explore more of China!
Welcome to Experience China
@@mantinglee6991 thank you 🙏🏼
The garlic is to eat together with beef noddle, bite garlic a bit and eat with noddle, all Chinese must consume immediately while it is warm. After 20minute? The foods is cold. Taste will be different. These shop are halal Muslim foods.
Yes we didn't know that at first. We only figured it out when he asked us if we were muslim. We were a little bit confused because we thought religious practices were not allowed. We learned so much in such a short amount of time.
@@JennandLeon Muslim foods are very populars in China.
You have been to two Lanzhou noodles, and they eat garlic raw. Lanzhou is a province in the northwest. Muslim minority is popular there.
Shanghai Zoo has pandas as well as lots of other animals, and it's on the metro system so it's easy to get to. Just an idea...
I can't wait to see a panda. Do they have natural conservation areas for them also in China?
@@JennandLeonWelcome to Chengdu Panda Base, one hour's drive from Chongqing.
7:01 Parking behavior is illegal, please leave immediately, electronic police supervision (this section), except for parking spaces，停车行为违法，请立即驶离，电子警察监管（本路段），停车泊位除外。😅
Yes we all have the traffic and parking police! ha
20t means 20tons maximum weight for the bridge
Wish you have a nice trip❤
Thank you so much!
You can slurp it up....normal and acceptable in China
beautiful city
Yes it is!
Man made canals, newer neighborhoods built on farmland
欢迎你们来上海，但是作为上海人，也不知道你们现在逗留的地方是在上海的哪个地方，另外你们吃的早餐也不是上海本地的早餐，可是没关系，开心就好。可能你们的时间有限，暂时玩不过来，上海好玩的地方太多了，中国好玩的地方更多……
他们在浦东川沙 找了个离机场近的地方落脚了
Yes exactly it was a short visit for my birthday. We definitely plan to return there are so many incredible places in China we wish to see and visit
When using chopsticks, let two chopsticks have an intersection, which is more stable, instead of letting them hold food in parallel.
Thank you for the pointers
希望中国能象外国一样在餐厅，商场下边写英文
welcome to visit China again, recommended: Yunnan Lijiang Old Town, Chongqing, Hunan, Guilin, Xi'an, Beijing.😁
Thanks for the support we appreciate it!
have a good time
Thank you!
Enjoy👍👍👍
Thank you 🙏🏼
Welcome to China and happy birthday to Jenn!
Where you stayed is the outskirt of Shanghai. In Chinese terms It is not typical Shanghai. It's beautiful though. The "real" Shanghai should be the bund and people's park I am sure are on your bucket list.
The noodle is a typical northwest dish, served by (mostly but not entirely) Muslim Chinese. Typical local dish are like pan-fried bun stuffed with pork, crab meat noodle, Fried baked scallion pancake. Go try them when you are in town.
So basically It is like you visit New York, stay at New Jersey and try Texas food. Very unique experience though😊
China is huge, I wish your first visit be good enough for you to plan a longer trip to discover more of her diversities.
Thanks for the explanation! I suppose that is how people tend to travel. It is a little harder with the reading barrier and we were quite surprised honestly to even realize there was a muslim community in China. We are planning a fuller trip with a large visa to explore all of the areas. We both love ancient history and architecture. I (Jenn) love kung fu and I really want to visit the Shaolin Temples...we can't wait to explore the different cuisine as well. Thanks for the thoughtful and helpful comment!
@@JennandLeon Your shocking experience on China is not unprecedented, a lot of English speaking trvavellrrs have posted Their China vloggs after the post pandemic open up. I would suggest you take a look for your next trip planning. I am sure their experience will give you some inspiration. I would emphasis on the usage of online payment App WeChat and Alipay and how to get around language barrier using translattion apps. To name a few of the travellers: Sun kissed bucket list, two mad explorers, the Hutchinsons,alan & shannon, ken abroad, jetlag worriors,alina mc
@@JennandLeon Check out "James and keli" they have a wonderful trip planning episode just for people like you.
you guys were just in a suburb so won't be too different from any suburb around the world. as you can probably tell, not many if any foreigners would hang around there so the locals were curious what you guys were doing lol. also no tipping in china.
Yes and we love that it feels more natural and casual.
Bowls of garlic to scare awAy Dracula

Eating barbecue requires drinking beer for comfort, cola is not strong enough
