- I walk around a local Chinese community in Nanjing China, a big Chinese city. I look at some Chinese street food stalls, restaurants, a fish and vegetable market, watch old people playing Mahjong and poker in a big and lively community square in the centre of lots of Chinese alleys.
I see lots of interesting Chinese buildings and small residential apartments of working class people in an old district of Nanjing. I come across a man sharpening some scissors on the street and talk to a few locals.

Calm and peaceful, very different from western medias narrative !
Amazing.....no graffity or vandalism .
Food, shelter, transportation, entertainment. They have all they need.
Nanjing is a famous political and cultural city with a history of more than 2,500 years. I have lived in Nanjing for 3 days before. At that time, I lived in this kind of community house. It was relatively dilapidated, but there were so many restaurants and life was very convenient. There are also many duck restaurants, and I really like the old city of Nanjing. bless you,Adam.Keep going!
That’s interesting thank you very much for sharing that. I agree I also enjoy the old city of Nanjing a lot, it has a lot of character and these communities feel very active and welcoming and full of life. Thank you very much 🙏🏻👍
Not a single duck can escape Nanjing alive😊
很少有西方人用這視野來了解中國, 當我看到這視頻時總能夠發出會心的微笑....是的, 這就是中國人民真實生活的寫照, 由於是真實 , 所以它亦充滿了力量和祥和, 因而經歷了五千年這民族還是歷久不衰 ..., 謝謝你用西方的視覺來演繹這一切, 來自香港的問候...
同感! 我亦來自中國香港!😊
Love those murals they really liven up the place whereas in England and America you only see graffitis. Thanks for sharing again 😊
Yes, I really like the murals a lot
I am from hk and since the age of 6 have lived in the western world yet upon returning to visit China a sense of familiarity stirs in me…a sense of belonging, that is hard to describe and which I don’t feel in NYC in spite of having lived in for 30 yrs
The background music makes this hauntingly melancholy to me. Thanks.
Interesting video Adam 😊
Looks like a cool peaceful place for an old retiree. All you need is a fold-up bicycle with a basket to carry things for mobility
It is, I like that old people have lots to do and lots of other retirees to talk to. There are many bicycles here and baskets on wheels.
@@middlekingdomproductions yes it’s a low key retirement community mixed with families. Looks very cool
Love it. Later this year when I hopefully have more time, will be sharing much more from you ...
Thank you very much Steve!
I really love to watch your videos, Adam. Keep going!
Thank you very much 👍😊
❤🇺🇸👍🌷🌸🌹🌺🌹🌹🌸🌷Beautiful video & great natural raining sounds🌹Have a wonderful day 🌷Thank you so much for sharing + 🎁🙏
I love the real China, not just seeing the new city centers but more traditional areas aswell
Yeah I love exploring these older communities
New city centers are also the real part of China. It is not a movie studio. You use the word "real China" in a misleading way. This is a poorer part of Nanjing. This does not represent the whole of China. Most of China is modern and developed. This is why it is the second largest economy in the world.
Hello, as always it's a pleasure to watch your videos, take care of yourself
Thank you very much Victor! Take care 👍🙂🙏🏻
Thank you for showing us the daily life of average folks. People seems friendly, unassuming, & peacefully going about their own business. The park seems clean & safe for seniors to congregate & socialize. Don't see much homeless either.
Thanks for commenting 😀Yes, I agree, most people are friendly, unassuming and getting on with living their life, just like most places and people.
Great video, Adam! The scissors sharpening guy was cool 🤣
Haha he was ! Cheers Ben 👍🙂
Your videos are great Ben..🤩🤠
Loving the video's Adam, so nice to see how life is now for you it couldn't be more different! 😊
Thanks a lot Justin! 👍😊 nice to hear from you! Hope things are going well for you. Haha yes just a little bit different ! 😂
Thanks Adam, for showing us the many facets of everyday life in Nanjing! I'm particularly impressed by the background music which blends so well into the video! I believe this sort of peaceful, relaxing life is the envy of many in the West who are struggling to pay the ever rising bills! I wish Biden could watch your chanel before accusing President Xi of being a dictator ! Love from Hongkong, China!❤
New sunscriber here. Reminds me of the sidestreets of Taipei and Xiamen. Nice video!
Thank you! I've not visited Taipei or Xiamen. I'd like to visit Xiamen sometime, I love being beside the ocean.
When I work in Wuxi China I visit Nanjing a lot specifically on weekends. From 2005 to 2009 by 2007 the high speed train makes it In just one hour from Wuxi that was incredible. There are couple golf courses is very nice too.
I used to live in Wuxi a few years ago. I agree the speed of the high speed train is incredible. I played golf once here, it's quite a unique experience having your own caddy.
👍
Mo chou lake莫愁湖, means don't worry lake.
I didn’t know that, that’s interesting thanks for sharing that 😁👍
@@middlekingdomproductions the area you live is Shui Xi Meng 水西门 west water gate. This is the gate for boats to go into the city from Changjiang in old time. The Qin huai river and mo chou lake were outside the city. The gate was at the place where Qin huai river turned 90 degree from north to east.
@@hong3170 wow, it's interesting to learn about the history of Nanjing. I would be interested to learn more about the history of the Changjiang river in this area.
@@middlekingdomproductions actually Chang Jiang 长江
is the official name of Yangtze River. Yangtze River is only the section below Nanjing until Shanghai. Changjiang river has different names in different sections. In upstream, it is tuotuo river(陀陀河）, Tong Tian river （通天河）, jin sha river（金沙江）,from yibing city (宜宾）,to wanzhou万州，it is called Chuan Jiang (川江）and then xia jiang峡江，from yi chang宜昌 to wuhan 武汉，it is jing jiang荆江，near Jiu Jiang, it is called xu yang Jiang (浔阳江）, and then wan jiang皖江 until Nanjing. from Nanjing to Shanghai, it is called yangtze扬子江。
@@middlekingdomproductions qin huai river秦淮河 entries from east water gate and passes by south Nanjing city, exits from West water gate. In old time, it is a very important transportation channel to bring supplies to Nanjing city. Those two gates will be closed in the night.
Near the Qin huai river and Mo Chou lake, there were ship yard to make large boats sailing to the sea. Chinese sailed as far as East Africa in 1405 before Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish. You made a video passed by a museum and a square with a boat on the side. This was the site of the ship yard.
Doesn't Gweilo 64 live at Nanjing? Would be great if you 2 collaborate videos together.
He's in Nanning, not Nanjing. Both are the capital of thier provinces.
🤔now we know..... actually in Malaysia is been 40urs at least Playing MaJong in Public is never allow....the enforcement personal can come anytime to confiscate the value and we taught China did the same....really....Thanks to your Videos💯🌏🌎🌍
Once you've finishing editing this video, this community will be developed into something else, haha. That's how fast China develops.
Haha yes new buildings and infrastructure seem to appear overnight here.
✍️💯⭐
great video....seeing the daily life of ordinary people.
Thank you very much! I love experiencing ordinary daily life here
English start with weather😧
Haha yes!
I love your videos of normal people living normal lives. I spent a month in Nanjing in 2018 in what I call a 'working class' neighborhood. I am returning to China in November with a Peace group. It is a short tour, but I plan to spend at least several weeks or longer after the tour is over. BUT, I originally lived in AirBnb rooms in Nanjing (and other cities too). AirBnb is no longer active in China. So, I have a question for you. Do you have any ideas, suggestions, of how to find relatively affordable places....simple but with kitchen privileges. this is really important for me. I don't have the money for hotels. I have been to Nanjing, Beijing, Shanghai, Yunan, Xian, Chengdu etc. Are you teaching? I am going to look into the possibility of teaching botany in English in China. It is a dream.....
Thank you very much! did you enjoy staying in Nanjing?. That sounds great! I've stayed in apartments that you can rent temporarily before, as long as you register at the local police station to let them know where you are living. I can ask around and see if I can find out any more information. Where are you planning on visiting ? Yes I teach English. Teaching botany sounds like a great idea, maybe you could reach out to some universities and see whether any offer botany courses.
