agree 100%
As you can see, there are no beggars at all, as miserable as the United States and Britain.
AND the hookers lmao 😂
yea but there's no STORY
so true
Being poor does not mean you have to be dirty and disorganized or disorderly. I know alot of people who dont have money, but they still sweep and clean. I lived around the Tianhe area and walked in streets like this, except definitely less tidy. That was before the pandemic and I can say it is interesting place to stay and learn about how other people live.
I'm poor and i look rich
that's not true being poor is totally understandable its inevitable and being dirty is part of it so tell me when you're completely depressed and can't do anything about it that you even care about cleaning. some do some don't but respect those who don't because its not their fault.
@@davidrocha9847 I don't think the original comment was saying you must be clean, just you shouldn't associate wealth with cleanliness
The streets looks like New Delhi. Even the poorest part of China is same as the most advanced city and The capital city of India . This shows how much difference is India And China economically. CHINA IS NOT POOR AT ALL if you want to know what POOR looks like go and see the capital city of India (New Delhi). This poor are you said in china is more richer than the Capital city of India
In China, if you are poor, you still have a place to live, a job, and food to meet your basic needs for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. The poverty in India is homelessness, lack of three meals, let alone other life needs.
❤❤ better than anywhere. A little poor but Peaceful, Safe & clean community. I can live there with those people happily. From South Korea.
where is the life of the poor here. didnt see anything. they just live a simple life, but poor I cant see it here. My inlaws live also in Guangzhou, similar home somewhere in Xiue Xiue district. Yes, houses from the 50s/60s. But, they are pensioners already, and receive from the government a total of CNY 12,000. Which is similar as my mother receives in the Netherlands as pension. So, because the streets look tiny and the houses from 50 or 60 years ago, doesnt mean they are poor.
Correct. I know Guangzhou well and I know people living in such alleys several places in Guangzhou. None of them are poor.
@@torbjrnmelbye6823 They are not poor, just some grassroots office workers
true
They are just ordinary people trying to earn a living. It is not as if they are starving.@@pritambhardwaj3756
Well said ! Western foreigners ALWAYS think negative judgement about China ! Either ,they are jealous as China rise from a poor country to present Superpower in term of economy , military or political!
The cleaniest alley I've seen.
It's narrow but clean.
Some dark spots but safe to walk by.
The small street is amazingly very clean and seems quite peaceful.
So true 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Cuando comience un terremoto vamos a ver si es peaceful ctm nub
I can feel the hard life in some respects there behind the hustle and crowded main streets, but I also agree how clean the streets and tight alleys are in those areas compared here in America. I see many times people here toss out beer/soda cans out of their cars in the streets while driving.
@@sting64az america is doomed
It looks nice to be honest, everything is clean and organised with no smelly garbage piled up anywhere, most people seem to be riding either bicycles or electric scooters so it's relatively peaceful and safe to walk and go about your business and just live.
I live in Indonesia here there are far far worse areas of poverty than this, even in Bali one of the world's most popular and busiest tourist destinations.
I see clean, safe alleyways and hard working people👍🏼❤️
So what, nobody wants to live in those poor environment.
@@平戸健一 You speak for everyone in China then?
Chinese are hardworking.....yeah.... they're not politically 'exposed'....like the population in democracies.........
@@roymohan9785 Bullshit. 120M people left China for travel and business and all came back. Even now, the uni grad more than 80% came back after studying in the west, unlike India, a giant rubbish dump, no one really even think of returning.
@@平戸健一 Have u been to Europe? a lot of old streets are as dark and worst, full of snatch thieves and the apartments are small, one room and one toilet only.
I notice how clean those narrow walk ways are. Interesting.
Guangzhou is one of the places I would like to visit. Some people had said it was dirty and some had sworn that it is an amazing place. Guess I need to find out for myself and take that adventure. Definitely got motivated after seeing this video. Thanks for sharing.
Guangzhou is not too bad, but there are a dozen of cities in China that are way nicer to visit.
Go to shanghai. Shanghai is the jewel of China
in honesty, it is the ghetto of china, the most dirty and dangerous city in china, still a great visit and safer than the west but its shabby in alot of areas
So CLEAN! Safe. Hard working people together. All the best from Poland. 😍 Love China.
strength and encouragement to the people of china! you are an example to the world!
Wow. I used to live in southeast Guangzhou, where I had my own lighting company with a Chinese partner. I lived in the Tianhe district several miles south of the computer store, University and downtown. My apartment complex was modern and really nice, but our shop where we built lights was in a section to the east of there, towards the train tracks, that was exactly like this. The maze through the tower blocks of apartments always reminded me of Blade Runner.
I was amazed that it was like walking from microcosm to microcosm of extremely dense neighborhoods, all scrunched together, each with its own unique features and people. Eventually, after walking to and from work through these mazes, I actually began to know my way around. I began recognizing people from area to area as I navigated the narrow alleys. At first, it was a bit creepy, being so unaccustomed to such a strange scenario. But, I learned where the good street food was ... where the best markets with the freshest food were, where to get a haircut, buy cellular minutes, etc.
Being the big westerner (6-foot, 275 pounds) that walked through nearly every day, standing out like a sore thumb, I got a lot of odd stares and heard a lot of "Whaaaaaa!"s as I walked by. But, people eventually started smiling and saying "Hello" to me. I was accepted as belonging there, and they definitely made it known to me. The sights, sounds and smells of that adventure in my life will be with me forever.
Thanks for this, you just let me relive a walk to work!
Thank you for your comment, Guangzhou is a vibrant and inclusive city
@@chinawalk500 It is indeed! I loved my adventures there. Especially the food. SO amazing and inexpensive. The two towers of the computer store were MIND-BOGGLING! No best buy store could EVER compare!
Every once in a while, we would cross the river to go to the all-you-can-eat seafood buffet in Pan Yu.
Sounds like a wonderful adventure that left you with a wealth of fond memories! This video reminded me of some atmospheric alleys I had explored in Bangkok, Hanoi and Kyoto, though more narrow. One particular alley on the fringes of Bangkok’s Chinatown appeared to be a Little India in miniature, with Indian shops and predominantly Indians encountered, with the alley becoming more narrow and dim the further I walked. I had made one solo trip to Japan and seven trips covering seven countries in SE Asia, but have yet to make it to China and hope to visit it someday. Cheers!
@@scottmcintire8634 Funny, my current bucket list is Vietnam, Tokyo, and Pattiya! If you get to China, I recommend hanging on the Kowloon side while waiting on your entry visa (usually next day), as Kowloon has some really great bars, pubs, and shopping. Then I recommend Guangzhou, Shenzen, and Shanghai to visit. Beijing is ok, but has really bad air quality and is a bit more expensive. Happy travels!
@Keyboard Emperor I lived on the top floor of a 16-floor building in my complex. It wasn't a fancy penthouse or anything, as all the apartments were the same from floor to floor. I just happened to get one that was available on the top floor. We had all types of shops under our buildings, just like the local neighborhoods.
From laundry and dry cleaners to grocery stores, a meat/seafood market, a convenience store with beer, snacks, and ciggies, and even a barbershop. I'd say that my one-bedroom apt. was about 500 square feet or so. And the shower had EIGHT heads! It was really nice! My rent was a paltry $390 USD a month! And it was completely furnished!
I made friends with the guards that looked after our complex and they looked the other way when I brought home girls from the pubs on weekends. As you likely know, this is actually a no-no in China! (In fact, the very first rule on my lease was that I had no "guests".) They would even get on the radio and wrangle them cabs from the front gate and send them to my building (which was in the very back of my complex), to send them home. I really loved living there in that complex.
And, aside from my business partner turning on me after the company was successfully up and running (which every ex-pat I met there warned me he would eventually do), the experience is one of the fondest I have. I loved living in China.
I observe well-kept, secure alleyways and diligent people.
It is a different side of the city, not usually seen by tourists/visitors. It is appreciated. Thank you for sharing.
我很多年前去過，那裡的食物好吃又便宜！
But the key fact here is that, you can be safe walking thru an alley way like this in china! I have been going to China for years, almost 2-3 times a year. It is as you seen it in this video!
.....without being waylaid,mugged,pickpocketed....
china is actually incredibly unsafe weather it be sink holes, falling building, murders or muggings its just that news on such occurrences are completely censored so people are blissfully unaware, the worst part is if any of the above happens people just turn their head and ignore it
@@pipeline8554 I hope your God forgive you for your lies! Peace be with you! Cheers
yeah the biggest bully is the govt who doesnt tolerate competition. interesting dynamic. i would probably go explore if i was from any country except the usa. oh well whatever
@Keyboard Emperor china govt owns all of the land and house , there is no concept of private building for life long.Govt can demolish any building at any time.
I know several areas of Guangzhou who has these small alleys. Not cheap living in the alleys around Taikang Road close to Beijing Road. Living there doesn't mean they're poor
All the alleys are so clean 😉
Looks like fun to explore. I remember exploring Japan like that 20+ years ago.
japan was way better than this 20 years ago. most of china outside of shanghai is still 50 years behind taiwan and japan. it's sad
@@cagneybillingsley2165 Agree but it’s still better than modern day Manila.
@@cagneybillingsley2165 you have no idea what you are talking about
@@cagneybillingsley2165 你也只知道一个上海了哈哈
@@cagneybillingsley2165 if you go to Taiwan, there are many places even in Taipei that look like these alleyways in Guangzhou. In Taiwan, you can even see homeless camps in parks where mostly old people abandoned by their children live.
Been to China 14 times through work. Everywhere was clean like this and it was really safe there.
Those narrow streets look awesome! I love it. Maybe it's just me.
Looks almost like the place that would make for a great Cyberpunk underground.
yeah for a day or two. its too dark and just too tight. cant imagine actually living there
not gonna lie, china has cleanest narrow street. change my mind.
No, you don't love the narrow streets. You love the people who live there peacefully and keep them clean.
@@gyozop he likes the girls hiding in there for sure, and as not much as international like bang kok, China has significantly low STD rate.
As a developing country, we still have a long way to go❤️
at least you can find some leisure in here for less than $30, in developed countires, some people just watch live chat and jerk it off.
Here in the USA it would be littered with dirty used needles and homeless drug addicts.
the results of DEMOCRAT govt ' plantation ' policies
Yes, individuals have no pride, and expect the local government to do everything. In my town we cooperate.
@@jb-vb8un but dont you guys also say that the dems want to make us like china ? sounds to me like you want us to be a communist country
@@Longtack55
You live in small town USA?
In small town USA, people cooperate. People often knows each other. Everyone somewhat get along.
In big city USA, everyone is for themselves.
Personally, I prefer small town USA.
This looks safe, quiet and clean to me. Def many many worse places to live in UK
*多谢更新啊！兄弟們找心爱的女孩子上課请看這！* 😝😝
Greeting from Vietnam, nice to know you
i'm american living in rizhao for ten years. even in the impoverished country side, its still cleaner than my native new york city. the city itself is incredibly clean.
I was amazed at how clean everything was around China. Some places looked old but not trashy. I was able to travel from Beijing to the South to Beihai, and stopped at Changsha and Jinan. Very friendly people, only saw two homeless people and only had people trying to sell me stuff around the Great Wall. The cops ended up running them off.
an alley way Look to dark, dingy, dull , scary and unsafe. You need at least a hundred of body guard with assault weapon to keep people at bay!
F
@@DLL-y4p do you see trash everywhere in the video? Do you see uncivilized people squatting by the roadside like Chinese usually depicted by the western media?
@@DLL-y4p and you are living in China to tell us that? I don't live in China but we have relatives in Fuzhou. They brought us to tour other provinces each time we visit them over the years. The situation in China is never as bad as western media usually portray.
@@DLL-y4p when you need to resort to insults instead of facts, you already lost this argument. Get back to school, western propanganda stooge
*這非常nice啊！兄弟們找心爱的女孩子上課请看這！* 😍😍
this is so much better than Kensington or LA camp ground .....
That was remarkable. It was great seeing China in such an interesting way.
My only experience with Guangzhou was spending several days there with a girlfriend. I didn't know that chicken feet are a favourite food in Guangdong. I found the flavour excellent but, like most Westerners, I thought there were too many bones to enjoy the dish. I also climbed Mount Bayun. When we summited, I was surprised to see oldsters singing traditional Chinese folk songs next to a hillside where screaming people in giant wire round cages bounded down the slope and an entire bamboo bunji jump was working at full capacity. One of the rural delights I experienced was in Qingshan fishing village. Before tourism, the men of Qingshan where we were told that until recently were too poor to marry, were actively engaged in human husbandry. An interesting sideline is we were fed two ocean vegetables that didn't grow anywhere else on Earth. Qingshan is on the West slope of Mount Lao, China's tallest coastal mountain just east of Qingdao.
any communist propaganda there?
Same in Thailand chicken feet are eaten there too
It’s quite clean actually. I was just in New York Times Square and it was filthy dirty! With homeless everywhere.
China and East/Southeast Asia are the only regions in the world where you can enter such areas without getting mugged, beaten, or killed. Try this in any other place and you wouldn't live to upload your video. Goes to show how safe Asia is compared to many other parts of the world.
This is a new experience for me, being able to walk here. exciting night. thank you for sharing.
Wow, those alleyways are very very clean! Not even a leaky pipe dripping water.
Thank you for this point of view.
I love cities that have neighborhoods with small streets. They are so much fun to explore.
💯
Exactly this! Such an adventure!
So you like social confinement and minimalism?😑
What I dont expect is its clean and neat, wow.
I enjoy walking on many of China's alleyway. There are no trash, smell, poop, sewage water leftover and security issue like in many other countries. So it's quite an interesting experience & something that everyone can enjoy without fearing for their life (especially for woman). At least the ones that I've been to.
Wow mantap semangat keren good evening thank you
When I first arrived in Guangzhou, it was in the city centre where I stayed the most at the start. Lived out near Canton Tower for a few years. Didn't really see places like this in the city until I met my wife. She was from an area like this. I have been visiting places like this now a lot. People are used to me visiting my wife's family now, but at the start, I got stares and curious looks, especially from kids. I feel a lot safer here than certain places where I grew up in the West.
Well, those "certain" places you grew up in, must've been hell because it certainly doesn't look safe at all here. This guy is only recording women and children were are the others.
@@pepevelez4742 well, you don't feel safe bcoz you haven't been to China. People can't smell the atmosphere just by looking at the videos. In this video, i tell you, you could only smell sexual disire and money ka-chings, instead of marijxxna or gun oil smell.
@@pepevelez4742 The safety index of Guangzhou is very high, not only Guangzhou, but all cities in China have a very high safety index
@@龙虾-k5g Maybe or maybe they are watered down. Anyhow I am just referring to your comparison as to how it looks. However I would have to say that those creepy dark alleys are full of prostitutes everywhere, and where there are hookers, there are pimps and where there are pimps and prostitution, there are all kinds of crime going on, you can say my friend that those alleys are safe but it's hard to beleive.
George you du.. sh..
Looks like i place I would love to visit. All of the are so respectful and have such good manners. Thank you.
点赞。拍的不错。BGM也不错
精准扶贫,😍，好棒这期视频👍👍
These poor areas look way better, cleaner and safer than skid row or Kensington.
For that matter......most of NYC, DC, Chicago, LA!
It's clean and Safe 🖐️👍🙏🏽❤️💯🤩
so exciting to explore the back alleys, can find unexpected pleasures
I love the 气氛。 Love China from Russia
What an amazing maze! Love watching your posts; real and very interesting!
Good Place. Clean and with no much noise..
In China, this is called: Village in the City!!! Most of the people living here are migrant workers from other provinces. Because the rent here is very cheap, I like this kind of place very much, because it is very lively, and you can find everything you want to eat here. Although it is very poor, it is very clean, and everyone is very friendly and helps each other. Also, not all of them are poor, many of the landlords or locals are very rich. Although it is very shabby here, the housing prices are unimaginable!!! Haha
Sure looks better than some of the major cities in the United States. I recently watched some videos of Philadelphia and San Francisco with deplorable living conditions, just horrible with all of the homeless people and the epidemic of drug addiction. So sad to see our once great cities in such decline.
the maim reason is in china there are no hoodies ;)
So you you sit back and watch the decline of the US and comment on TH-cam how sad it is. It's sad because no one is is doing shit to make it better, including you.
Conservative vs liberal areas. Sad but true
@@rainypath96 nonsense.
Wow I have a million questions 🥰Just love the pace and the everyday life. Great work!😎
POOR? Do not see homeless, beggars or street gangs. Looks safe and happy people walking around
But China = THIS >> Total censorship, people disappeared for speaking out against the CCP, authoritarianism, zero rights, massive human trafficking problem, millions of Muslims in concentration camps, insane zero COVID policy, etc.
nah china is not the same as 10 years ago
People being brainwashed…
Poor varies from places to places
Nothing compared to the Philippines
25 years ago I roamed in this sort of alley in Guanzhou. It wasn’t hygienic and place was dinghy. Today, it is clean and improved. Reflection of my memory.
Not as poor and desperate as the homeless living on the streets in America. In fact they look well off , well fed as well as a decent roof over their heads.
Feels raw and alive. Camera is steady. Nice work.
überall sehr schön sauber und ordentlich ... kein Graffiti und homeless people
*這真不錯！兄弟們找心仪的女孩子上课看這！* 🗨🗨
I live since many years in Panyu district. This video was filmed in a village in Huangpu district if I read the street signs correctly :) Surprisingly not many people wearing a mask, it is understandable then why the situation with the latest outbreak is as severe as never before in the past 3 years...
Generally can not say they are all poor, especially the house owners. The land in this area has quite high value now. I also experienced shop owners of messy looking shops, but living somewhere in nice and high price areas at top floor big apartments.
Didn't look poor to me, it looked very clean and well maintained. The only thing I didn't like was the motorbikes riding through but I suppose you get used to that.
Yup. Despite being poor these people maintain their dignity. Unlike American slums there is little filth and crime.
@@CalmoOmlac I wasn't talking about the people, I was talking about the neighbourhood as a whole. Generally speaking, particularly in the west, poor people end up in the run down areas which are often somewhat neglected by the local authorities. This place doesn't look neglected at all.
@@CalmoOmlac but in this town they have economy and stores, apartments and calm. The real poor scenarios are latam, with nothing like that, this town looks better than so much of medium economic growth in latam
@@CalmoOmlac YT's full of vloggers posting vids of 'ghettos' around Europe, America etc. Where I live in UK it's not so bad but there's a number of estates in other cities that are deemed unsafe, littered with old discarded furniture, burnt out cars etc, housing full of mould & damp, boarded up windows and in general disrepair.
Wow....and clean.
素晴らしい動画！
It actually looks nicer than some of the backstreets in Manilla, Philippines.
Soo crazy the buildings are Soo close together I Can't tell if it's day or night.
Super clean .. Nice street bro
Most of the scooters look electric. Good at least for the air quality in those narrow alleys.
I just found this channel, and enjoy hearing n seeing the way things move in your countries. I think i would very much enjoy walking around the different areas of this location. Thanks Chen.
They make the most of their life with dignity in a low profile life .
*很不错，兄弟们不管在哪个城市，这里都有心怡的女孩可以玩！* 😉😉
no tents or druggies everywhere like US
En USA solo encuentras mugre en los callejones. En este video China evidencia que la humildad no va de la mano de la suciesa, el ruido y la basura. La disciplina lo es todo. Un pueblo disciplinado alcanza el desarrollo de manera inmediata. Toda América debería seguir los pasos de esa gran nación llamada China. Saludos.
This is an example of a healthy poor class, bravo to China 🇨🇳 👏
Unlike other parts of Asia with poverty, this place is as clean and pristine as it gets, same goes for the whole country generally.
Not a single homeless person, this is just perfect
those tight streets are really clean
好多明顯的流鶯，真爽。
加油！加油！加油！
From the look of the alleyway housing. It used to be a small village in the style of Canton area, but this village got swallowed up by urbanization nearby by being surrounded with high rise buildings and nearby new shops building that attract all type of new people.
What an interesting looking place! At first since "poor" was in the title, I was expecting more slum-like conditions. However, despite the compactness of their living space, those alley ways look clean and well kept. Props where it is due on that note.
it is amazing how clean everything is in China honestly. You would think everything being crammed together it would be dirty but for the most part it isn't. When traveling with my wife and her sister there I was stunned to see how clean the road sides were vs here in the US. There were large teams of people traveling between the cities living off the land cleaning up the trash, trimming the trees and such. In the cities there were large groups sweeping the sidewalks to the street gutter where a waiting street sweeper was to clean up the trash. The poor area my younger sister-in-law lived in was only what I would call dirty due to the construction there from renovating buildings and fixing the streets.
These aren't poor people. Not by Chinese standards, anyway.
@Keyboard Emperor Migrant workers? What video were you watching?
@@TerminalConstipation Only poorest people live in the urban villages in China. This is the place the poor are living in
@@patrickwu6052 Wu do you think you're fooling? I've shit in a hole in the ground in an outhouse that was in a collection of homes that was itself an outlying satellite of a dirt road village that was a satellite of a town that was a satellite of a city, and that city (of over a million people) was less developed than what's seen in this video. Those people wore the same clothes everday, and played mahjong at their cousin's house every night, eating sunflower seeds and bread charred over a burning brick of compressed coal in between smoking tasteless cigarettes. Mother fucker's in this video doing better than most people in California.
It’s all moreBS about China they’ve created. A new renaissance in the world they have the most beautiful cities in the world their airports are incredible their rail way system is amazing o eggars on the streets 😊
Que recuerdos, antes de la pandemia anduve por esos lugares, con mis amigos le decíamos la China profunda.
q bonito
It's strange, they look very poor, but the land is very valuable. To be precise, they are rich.
Cool colourful eye's opening
Poor? Have you seen the videos of the streets in LA?
Thanks for the video!
what camera did you use? did you also use gimbal stabilizer?
So smooth 👍
Thanks for sharing your story
華やかな中国の都市を見るより、こういう人々の生活が近くに感じれるところの方が見てて好きだな
Same here. Rather live in a vibrant area where people live and work then a stuffy gated community with snobs, busy bodies for neighbors.
You truly make great videos but you should add better background music to make them interactive.😄😄
I don't see poor..I see beautiful woman. Hard working folks..and most of all they are lean an healthy. Didn't see 1 over weight person 👍🏼
"But you can find pleasure here"... and VD.
Amazing how clean the streets are
Wow very god 👍
辛苦都是為了生活
You should see the equivalent of the streets in New York, San Francisco, LA...... !!!!!
The pleasure would be shocked if a foreigner strayed here. Or the double price would suddenly be demanded. 😅
They seem to always post the prices (Chinese love bargains), so if you can learn how a few services or products is written you will not be tricked,
plus Chinese people are pretty honest as they believe in pay back karma.
I'm so sorry to see those people who have to live in this poor environment.
oh come on, yes not high society but this isn't bad at all. Not even sure if I would even call this environment poor, bustling street markets and shops. Looks like decent places to me.
your opinion lacks comparisons or evidence
What "poor environment?" I saw happy, healthy people in a clean environment that they respected. Like Kensington Ave, Philadelphia?
It's not bad to live there. I know people in such alleys in Guangzhou
You must live in a palace to call this a poor environment. It is clean and safe. I am in America where you’ll see homeless tents, drug and crime. I rather chose this and play cards or games with friends in peace and safety.
Well done , thanks for not using unnatural sounds
