OUR UNEXPECTED JOURNEY THROUGH CHINA (biggest highspeed railway in the world)

Ok, would you take the train or fly? We think the train is the way to go if the trip is 6-8 hours a day...or an overnight sleeper train. That might have to be our next train adventure. Can't wait to share part 2 with you next week! Thanks again to AG1 for sponsoring this video.

As a second generation Chinese American, I can say that Chinese people are very proud of their culture and heritage. They get so excited when foreigners try to speak their language, even if it’s a simple hello or thank you. I am glad you guys are enjoying your time in China.

You are absolutely correct in saying western politics has a different view on what China really is, I'm a Kiwi living in China and have been here for a decade, the country is beautiful the people are lovely and welcoming, what more do you need, oh maybe some more tea, it's a multi billion industry in China and they are so proud of it 🙏🙏🙏

The reason they don't want you to wear your crocs on the escalator is that the soft squishy material of the shoe can jam in between the moving steps more easily than a hard soled shoe.

In fact, ordinary people in China use Western-style toilets at home, but we prefer squatting toilets in public places to avoid indirect contact with other people's skin, which is considered dirty and may contain viruses.

I have been to China 4 times and have never had any issues. The people are friendly and the food is great.

Wow! How interesting, and the very opposite of what we in America are led to believe about China. My father has traveled almost the entire world and China was by far his favorite place to visit. I almost feel like I was there with you.❤

Thank you for showing us how beautiful China and China's people are. I have been following you for many years and China appears to be one of the most beautiful places you have visited. And the Chinese people appear to be among the most friendly people you have ever visited.

I loved this video. I lived in China for 8 years and watching you guys brought back so many memories. I can shed some light on the things that amaze you in the video. For one the hot water, Chinese people prefer hot water as a normal drink compered to cold. As it helps you with the digestaton, what I heared form them is that it helps for a oil not to stick to your gut. Also for taking picture, I know it sounds weird but some of the people never seen foreigners there or very few and they like to take pictures with foreigners because its new. I really loved China and it has great things that you should try if you are in a bigger city like taobao, and didi, or stuff like that. Hope you are having a great time. :D

Wow you guys are shattering US myths about China and its people! Thanks so much. The value of this people to people connection is incalculable. I want to visit China!

The man sitting next to Jason on the train while Jason is explaining how they decided where to go, was so interested and had the cutest smile on his face. That all was so cool! I sat here with a huge smile on my face completely entranced. I have kind of wanted to go there for a long time, but now seeing how the people are so sweet, it makes me want to go more.

I have watched several videos of YouTubers traveling around the world and no other city in any other country surpasses this city in comparison to the following cities in China. These cities are Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Nanjing, Wuhan, Chengdu, and Tianjin. These cities are characterized by their wealthy people, sophisticated cityscapes and futuristic architecture, and societies that have embraced the latest technologies. These cities are some of the most attractive cities in this world today.

It is amazing to see how much China has changed since my last visit almost 25 years ago (yes, politics aside). Get a passport, people. Turn off your screen, pack a bag, and see the world!

We traveled to China to finalize an adoption years ago and traveled around Beijing and then Guanzhou. The people were lovely, and we deeply enjoyed our time there. Our biological son was seven with long blond hair and blue eyes and everyone wanted a picture with him. At first, he was nervous, but we suggested he should think of himself as a rock star whose adoring fans wanted a selfie with him. That won him over and we laughed every time someone would try to sneak a picture of their child with ours. Our Chinese daughter is a joy!

I used to live in Beijing, this video brought back so many happy memories. As a foreigner, I was always treated so well by the local people.

作为中国贵州人，欢迎你们来到中国，也感谢你们的善意与客观 As a native of Guizhou, China, I would like to welcome you to China and thank you for your kindness and objectivity

My daughter went to Beijing 13 years ago to teach English. She was 21 at the time. 1 year later I went to visit her for 3 weeks. She could only get 1 week off work, so we decided to travel to Xian (terracotta warriors etc). I like train travel, so we decided to go to Xian on the overnight train, and return to Beijing 5 days later on the high speed train. Really enjoyed the actual travel AND really liked Xian. Because my daughter had already lived in China for a year by the time I went to visit her, she already knew most of the tricks and traps of living there, it made things a lot easier for me.

Excellent episode! I have always thought that we, as Americans, have been lied to about China. My own experiences are very similar to yours. I hope to go again as we live in the Philippines part of some years. I was originally swayed in my impression of China by the entertainer "Yanni." Yanni was the first western entertainer to perform a concert in the forbidden city inside Bejing in 1997. He produced a documentary that was part of his video called "Tribute." He, along with his entire orchestra, were in the country for about six weeks, and he was blown away in the good way as most westerners are. Since then, I have found that country to be a place I always look forward to visiting more. By the way, that high-speed railway system was built from nothing to the largest in world in 8-11 years, depending on who you ask. Amazing!

Absolutely stunning…you’ve made me understand that China is entirely different from what I’ve always thought it is, thanks Nikki and Jason!

58 years on the planet, and this was the best tourism video of China I've ever seen. Have fun guys
