“No dancing” actually means no “square dancing”. It is a popular sport amongst Chinese aged anties. They like grouping together in some square (usually in the parks), dance with loud music. Which is kinda annoying for sightseeing places. Wait, at the end of this video, you turned around and skip the night view of the Bund😮?
I just got back from a trip to China yesterday. I travelled from Beijing to Shanghai (and cities in between). Shanghai is probably one of my favourite cities in China.
Shanghai is for starters. It has a colonial heritage from the 19th century, which makes westerners feel familiar. To really understand China, you would need to travel to the more traditional parts of it, like Henan Province, Shandong Province, etc., where Chinese civilization started.
Love your videos, China looks great. How about a "How to China travel" video? Like what APP to use, things you learn would make China travel easier! It'll be popular & help lots of people!
My husband and I are your fans. We watch every video of yours during dinner and I love the Disney ones. Shanghai is my hometown and I currently live in US. I’m happy to see you and Peter had a good time there! The food was authentic and made me wanna go home❤
Wonderful episode, thank you! I lived most of my life in San Francisco where the western part of the city is largely Chinese, and there are amazing dumpling and Dim Sum places, but I can only imagine how delicious those soup dumplings were in Shanghai.
I'm glad you guys explored Shanghai as well. I thought you were only going to go theme parks. Who knew Shanghai had many interesting things to offer. You guys are tempting me to want to go to China someday. You guys make travel look fun and easy.
This was a great video! I really loved Shanghai when I was there. I was laughing at the guys that kept trying to sell you wallets. We kept getting people trying to sell us these contraptions you put on your shoes to turn them into heelies. They were rolling all around us trying to get us to buy them. 🤣
I would think the reason people arent afraid to leave items unattended is because the ones who might steal are more afraid about what happens to them if they get caught stealing.
The city vids are my absolute favourite Ordinary Adventures content, even though I found your channel through the Star Wars/Disney algorithm. That said, I'm itching to see your first ride on Tiana's Bayou Adventure soon, too, but I can't wait to find out which new city (or new to the blog) you guys will hit up next!
Another sort of legend for the reason Chinese gardens have the twisty paths is because back in the day if the ladies walked the path and they bent their neck to look around it would form wrinkles…so to avoid the ladies having to bend their necks to get a good view they built the path in a zig zag. Or…that is the story my wife’s hometown has…
In the People's Republic of China, square dancing or plaza dancing (simplified Chinese: 广场舞; traditional Chinese: 廣場舞; pinyin: guǎngchǎng wǔ; lit. 'public square dance'), is an exercise routine performed to music in squares, plazas or parks of the nation's cities. It is popular with middle-aged and retired women who have been referred to as "dancing grannies" in the English-language media. Due to its low cost and ease of participation, it has been estimated to have over 100 million practitioners, according to CCTV, the country's official television network.
The only TH-camr I've seen so far that tried the most authentic TangHuLu with Hawthorne berries! Variants in Japan and Korea focus on strawberries because it looks cute. Real Chinese know only Hawthorne berries go the best with those sugar coats. Yum.
The title of this video matched my feelings exactly as I watched this…in a good way though! I was amazed by everything- it was so different than what I imagined China to be (which is just based on the stereotypical China/crowded and polluted/olden China)…I still think I’d rather visit HK more than Mainland China, but now I’m more open to visiting one day…and the food is so freaking cheap!!!
I’m in my 60’s and I remember opening cans like the Pepsi you opened, however as I recall it was beer cans that had that type of opening that I liked opening for my dad.
Allow me to explain about the no dancing part. it's talking about a chinese square dance party that many elderlys do in china, as kind of exercise and entertament which is very good of course. they usually gather together as a big group and occupy a place play music and dance. the problem is that place is a centre public place, so if all those groups do the dancing activity here it will cause crowd problem. usually they do it in city parks or somewhere near their neighborhood.
Candied haw berries, known as Tanghulu, are a very famous traditional Chinese snack. Recently, they have become very popular on TikTok and are trending in many countries.😋
These Asia vlogs are the best! Kitra, your hair looked so smooth and lovely the whole video, just had to comment with a compliment. I can never keep my hair under control when travelling 😊
7:00 the dancing thing is actually a prohibition of square dancing! basically in china a lot of retired/elderly ladies like to group together and dance in public places for fun, but the downside of that is that it can be very loud since they are blasting music with their stereos and they occupy a lot of space, so it makes sense they'd ban it in major tourist spots
If there are people dancing, a large number of people will gather and stop in a cluster, which is a huge problem for the Bund, which already has a large flow of people.
@@OrdinaryAdventures Hope you can travel to China again, if you have the opportunity, I really hope you can see the most primitive and beautiful natural scenery in China, recommend Zhangjiajie in Hunan, Guilin in Guangxi, Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan, Wulong tiankeng in Chongqing, Tarim and Qinghai lakes in Xinjiang and Hukou Waterfall in Yellow River! Very shocking. In winter, remember to come to Harbin! There is a world of ice and snow, which will bring you endless joy.
Since you're in L.A., you should consider going to the Hungtin Library and Botanical Gardens. They have a HUGE Chinese garden complete with bridges, terraces, and pavilions.
I love this series so much! And this is definitely one of my favorite videos from it. If you haven’t filmed your Q&A about this trip yet, I’d love to know what were the deciding factors that made you choose to spend time in the cities of Hong Kong and Shanghai, but not Beijing.
We did already record our a and a video and answer this slightly but the answer is we had planned one day to explore the city of Beijing and go to the Great Wall of China but after over two weeks of traveling and going hard every day we were overtired and took a day off. Also that day the car drive to the Great Wall was looking like 2.5 hours each way and we really didn’t want to do that. Someday we hope to go back
80s pepsi ring pulls are still alive in china. pull towards you instead of away. It lead to lots of cut fingers here in the UK. Then the push in caps came in early 90s.
Very well shot video of the food tour. Watching so many videos from European and American broadcasters on TH-cam, I realized that before coming here, I thought it was all an adventure and exploration! In the end, it almost always turns out to be a hedonistic trip. Have a great time in China and welcome back!
Okay, I was so confused because I could have swore I saw the thumbnail of this video in my feed. Then when I went to look for it, I couldn’t find it! Also I get stressed out when people try to sell me things… you both handled it so well 😂
I have seen and know about your Disneyland adventure in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR, but you two should re-visit Hong Kong again to try out local foods as well as to visit The Peak, Ocean Park, Bird Street, Flower Market, walk around Mong Kok, Wong Tai Sin, Ngong Ping, etc…
Gosh, those steamed buns... I wish I could have those. Every single time you eat a portion I'm like super jealous 😅 but jokes aside: another great video and I would totally check out that 7D Movie theater. Sounds interesting.
Hi 👋 I hope you guys enjoyed this trip and I hope all of your guys future trips go well and please remember to stay safe 🙏 and remember to have a good time 😊. Also please remember to take care of yourselves 🙏☺️ and you guys are amazing 🤩 so keep being you cuz your awesome 👍😎🙏.
Love the vid I just did the cast preview of Tina’s bayou adventure in Magic kingdom. I was soooo good Kitra (sorry about the spelling) will love it!🎉😂❤
amazing . It's been twenty Years since My family and I went to shanghai . wow things are different now wow . My brother and i want to take our own family there and have a big giant family y trip .
As someone from New Zealand, I’ve never heard of Gota. A lot of Chinese people start companies in New Zealand/ Australia then try and sell their products to China claiming they’re authentic NZ products and that everyone uses them in New Zealand (they definitely don’t). Any Chinese people on here beware, don’t be fooled. The prices are ridiculous and actual NZ products are decent and more reasonably priced.
shanghai is cool, basically an 'entry level' for first time china tourists since it's pretty westernized. it's good you stayed mostly with authentic foods. I see lots of tourists get sucked in by gimmicky items lol. imo lots of other chinese cities have a lot more character than shanghai which is a bit too commercial for my tastes.
The sign said no dancing at the bund because Chinese old ladies like dancing in groups (over 20) in parks in the the mornings and evening. If the old ladies dance at the seriously crowded bund, the congestion will become much more serious.
The wrappers on the xiaolongbaos look rather thick, but I suppose that's the Shanghai style. Other types they're defined by how thin the wrappers are, it's a true test of the chef's skills. The really good ones, they're so thin as to be translucent and you can see the soup inside. (Also a test of the customers' chopstick skills if you can pick them up without breaking them. LOL.)
Next time please visit Seoul and Busan, South Korea. They will love to have you. KBeauty, food, culture , technology and nightlife scene is amazing there. Lots of tourists make appointments with well-known skin clinics and get facial assessments and treatments for such a great deal. The dollar goes a long way there. I enjoyed this video a lot 👍🏻
Just to mention Shanghai Tower is the third tallest building not second. Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur in second and the tallest building in the world is Burj Khalifa in Dubai
Oh that dancing means square dancing😂 In China it’s common that in squares they organize many ppl and dance together following the music… I could definitely imagine why they don’t allow that there😂
the lego store 😍 in hamleys in london (a 7 story toy store) there are some of the finest builds, like the queen and her corgi, these beautiful butterflies on the ceiling, and much more! is was so cool when i went a couple years back!
Great quality video. Welcome to China! Wish You guys have Alipay and VPN ready. Are you guys on the 144 transit or tourist visa? You plan on visiting major cities or others? Any natural scenes?
7:01 No dancing means no group dancing. You don't know some elders like to dance together with loud music. They can do it in their own blocks, but not in this area.
Those motor bikes with the back seats are called a tuk-tuk or a rickshaw. If you want a fun and interesting series on you tube watch kinging-it, who among lots of other adventures, travel the length of India in one of those. So funny and challenging.
Oh man...I wonder what you will think of Din Tai Fung when it opens at Disneyland?! I think it's good but have never had it dumplings in China so I'm very curious.

是的。广场舞人太多了，而且比较吵。
these dancing groups are so annoying and they put the speaker with very noisy music and destroy the harmony of the environment
came to say this
This was such a delight. I think I’d probably watch Kitra & Peter give a tour of a barrel at this point lol
Ha we couldn’t make that interesting
I just got back from a trip to China yesterday. I travelled from Beijing to Shanghai (and cities in between). Shanghai is probably one of my favourite cities in China.
👍
Shanihai used to be called "Venice of the east".
@CNTikTok there is so much more of China that I would love to see. I just 'scratched the surface' on my very first trip there.
Did you visit Tianjin?
Shanghai is for starters. It has a colonial heritage from the 19th century, which makes westerners feel familiar. To really understand China, you would need to travel to the more traditional parts of it, like Henan Province, Shandong Province, etc., where Chinese civilization started.
Pop mart is a REAL addiction!! They have so many cute characters like Pino Jelly he's my favorite 🥰
I can totally see that
I am glad you bought the tea! Teas are my fav. I feel like, every time you sip it, you will be transported back to Shanghai.
👍
Love your videos, China looks great. How about a "How to China travel" video? Like what APP to use, things you learn would make China travel easier! It'll be popular & help lots of people!
We have recorded the video and it should be out next week!
Great work! Thanks! After watching this I just booked my flight!!!!!
Have fun!
我是来自中国的一名大学生，中国很多美景正如视频里呈现的我就不过多阐述，但是其实我觉得中国更让我喜欢的是我们的人民真的很热爱和平，也很热爱生活。我们并不是像很多人以为的那样到处脏乱差，混乱不堪，我们的环境从大城市到小乡镇都是很不错的。如果有机会真的可以来中国旅游，去亲眼见识感受一下中国的人文风情，和秀山丽水。如果你能有机会来中国游玩，我愿意当你们的向导。如果你真的十分害怕中国是一个处处危机四伏的地方，来之前可以去看一下一些国外友人的旅游视频。我真心的为我的国家感到自豪，也希望能够有更多的朋友，能够真正认识了解到我的国家，而不只是片面的抹黑，我爱中国，也爱这个地球
Thanks so much. We loved what we saw of your country.
@@OrdinaryAdventures 也谢谢你能够把我们所生活的国家带个更多人看到。不管是好的地方还是不足的地方，我们都不会害怕被曝光，不好的地方我们国家都会积极努力改正的。我们只希望把最真实的一面呈现给所有想要了解这个国家的人们

the bamboo straw with the tube tea is cool! and i'm sure sustainable!

Ahh this brings back memories of my last time in Shanghai! I've been to that garden! It's so beautiful.
It really is!
LOL, 06:40 that dancing thing means “Square dance” (广场舞) in particular, which usual in a large formation and makes a lot of noise.
Ah that makes sense
In the People's Republic of China, square dancing or plaza dancing (simplified Chinese: 广场舞; traditional Chinese: 廣場舞; pinyin: guǎngchǎng wǔ; lit.

Sometimes I’m jealous of all the adventures you take. I think it’ll be something I can only watch and dream about. Love the video! Love you guys
We hope you are able to make your own adventures happen and for those that can’t at least we can help take you there virtually
I’m in my 60’s and I remember opening cans like the Pepsi you opened, however as I recall it was beer cans that had that type of opening that I liked opening for my dad.
They were like that in the 70s and 80s too.

Oh man...I wonder what you will think of Din Tai Fung when it opens at Disneyland?! I think it's good but have never had it dumplings in China so I'm very curious.
We’ve had it before! It’s very good but China is cheaper and better :)

Very cool vlog! What were the people that were showing you cards trying to sell you?
Bags and stuff
