SHOCKED by this crazy city in China (FIRST TIME IN CHONGQING)
all right so 144-hour Visa free Transit only one city only part two meaning 6 days in chunk chain starts now oh slight delay I guess we're about an hour behind no problemo hurry up and wait as they say oh oh here we go science says boarding let's go let's go go this tunnel is a huge source of excitement in my life we've been out a lot of tunnels right right I love these tunnels start of a New Journey all right here we go Chong Chang we'll see you soon Is that real does this plane have Wi-Fi maybe you need to hold on hold on hold on connected without internet maybe not working honestly I didn't expect it to work I thought it would be broken weing now I guess it's 9:00 at night maybe we'll no no no it's more like 11: 11:00 at night cuz we were delayed oh cuz of delay yeah okay so I guess we'll give you guys uh apartment tour and then we'll see you guys tomorrow to uh hit the street all right got to go through immigration first of course this is what we are traveling with 144-hour transer okay okay and so far pretty organized the people have been very helpful and uh same form like we did in Shanghai so it's all familiar to us y good good job Ivana I tell you what Ivana and I are both greatly satisfied with our arrival here in Chongqing so we had two border agents at the immigration uh checkin there they were both speaking perfect English one was a man and one was a woman and they both were fully aware of the 144-hour Visa process so it was smooth sailing and if you can believe it at the end of the process a little electronic box popped up and it had a uh set of smiley faces four faces ranging from big smile too small smile and it said in English greatly satisfied somewhat satisfied uh unsatisfied and very unsatisfied so Ivana and I had the ability to rate our border officers and we both agreed greatly satisfied was sort of an impressive uh thing I've never seen that before after 30 or 40 countries where a foreigner shows up who does not speak the language they speak by language and they want me to review their job greatly satisfied so anyway let's go hit the streets and get a taxi to our accommodation actually on second thought I think we'll try and find the bus or should we take the subway Zing wa Ivana maybe we should have took a taxi look at them all there's got to be 100 taxis down there and so anyway we've left the airport and we're on this sort of bridge which is tiled and lit up like a sort of shopping mall and I guess it's going straight towards the bus station which is kind of great for us huh something tells me there's no more buses Iana oh maybe there is there's people in here because there is Coach Station and there is Airport bus what's the difference all right so on second thought we're going to take a taxi taxis are better anyway I following you Iana do you have any idea what you're doing babe okay I mean the good thing about this system is I'm sure it's a good price like it's on a meter because it's just hundreds of taxies and everyone's going for it so I feel confident okay ready to run trck okay uh huh by Street by by Street oh gosh yeah yeah they go Hotel yeah yeah yeah Hotel you I I I okay I think this is a say going down2 now back so that's not thing here it just says 11 that's oh there we go now it's 12.1 yeah that's the meor okay good price fair price okay good okay sh sh okay okay CH H bye-bye okay just like that we ad made at the Chongqing and our hotel is not too far from the center which of course we will show you tomorrow because it's almost midnight but first let's do a accommodation tour because uh the price of this place is pretty darn good I think at least compared to Shanghai it's a different different pricing structure nobody's here huh oh E's Hotel on the floor okay good oh jeez lisy one almost broke the door I show up the chunk J I destroy the place my goodness okay this is the oh look a robot transport guide Cruise Express friendly hotel robot nice all right so the check-in process was very easy the lady was very helpful despite us not speaking Chinese and her not speaking English we did sign language and we made it happen uh here's our room now in Shanghai if you guys remember it was a lot more expensive this is I would call a simple oh my gosh what happened got it uh this is a simple bathroom looks good though looks new and clean more than manageable and then I guess decent Siz room bigger than Shanghai and if you guys remember it was like 80 bucks in Shanghai yes over here it's like 30 two so we we'll write the price on the screen but uh like less than half price for what to me is more than manageable now through the magic of video editing it will now be tomorrow and we're going to have some breakfast byebye everybody all right and just like that we are up in Adam hitting the streets of Chongqing where Ivana and I only have one thing on our mind which is get some coffee let's go so I tell you what I see Starbucks over here but I'm hoping to get something a little bit more Chinese you know more local at least and honestly I don't mind wandering for our morning coffee because I got nothing but time and I'd love to look at stuff like this back in mainstream mainstream oh I didn't copy so bad mainland China likea tell you what pretty nice CityWalk here kind of wispy trees and I'm led to believe that Chongqing is frequently foggy like this so you get this sort of mist it's a bit magical when you're walking around I don't know if this image looks magical to you guys but because I'm back in mainland China I'm feeling the magic I'm feeling excited and so even something small like the fog is impressing me oh youon a lucking coffee let's go let's go there now to be clear last time we tried Ling coffee it was no cash only Ali pay we didn't have it now we got Ali pay so over ready for luck and coffee we order own oh order there oh okay okay you speak English a little a little bit okay thank you order there

we got toour hotel at 1: and then you will come at 4:00 a bit out of it coffee and vlogging let's go cinnamon roll ladies first try it ladies okay fine I very good M so good this one is coconut almond no coconut almond they got some good bread over here dude honestly I want to try different bread from them every single day L we can yeah very nice all right so I've had some coffee and my mouth is working again which is great because this is definitely worth talking about so I guess this is a Buddhist temple which is sort of connected to the really beautiful Street we were just on and naturally Buddhist temples are generally very intricate but this one is exceedingly so especially with all the support beam sticking out and all the accents kind of highlighted on each edge of the wood it's really uh kind of mesmerizing to look at it's so intricate and detailed and so uh so beautiful and so it's probably the right move to go inside and see what the inside looks like now believe it or not you have to pay to get in here which is something new but we did successfully use our alipe which is a good thing this way okay okay let's check it out you want so potentially more than just a Buddhist temple it might even be a bit of a museum in here because there's people all around there seems to be signs and there definitely are even shops actually more coffee you can buy over here so this is a pretty lovely travel experience Let's uh see what we can see because this is something new and something very interesting for us wow so this place is a really impressive temple with more than a few huge Courtyards and I really love the lighting in here because it is overcast and there's a sort of gray sort of feeling to everything with all the C C Les and all the smoke coming up and all the little beams of light that come through all the wall fixtures and all the railings it's really something out of the Chinese Harry Potter it's truly magical in here and so it's a really nice place to wander around because all of the different staircases pointing every way it reminds me of the phrase not all who wander are lost because I think we're walking in circles but that's my intention in here it's just to kind of walk in circles and explore every nook and cranny of it it's a really good uh first impressions of chuning lot a nice hairstyles for the men in this place a right right that means you're wise hey check it out I think this guy might be doing some fortune telling he's got a bunch of people lined up to see him he looks sort of Monk like in his hair and robes and he's writing some stuff down I could be wrong let me know in the comments this could be a scenario where I'm confidently incorrect but I think he's doing some sort of I think so fortune telling Andor palm reading or something yeah because people are lining up to see him right interesting and so my feeling is all these bald statues are guys who are enlightened my understanding is when you're earlobes or hanging like that you are someone who's enlightened could be wrong maybe correct me in the comments but typically everything they're holding and their facial expression is all telling some sort of story uh some of it is very interesting looking not sure what that one means maybe he's got the the child within him he's in touch with his inner child or something and I guess these are all prayers people have attached to the railing corresponding to each different sort of enlightened Buddha I'm not sure if they're Buddhas but something like that and so in any case the temple was a great start to our travel day it was a good place to get us full of wonderment and sort of asking lots of questions as well as full of admiration because Ivana and I have probably seen hundreds and hundreds of temples and that was one of the most intricately beautiful ones although I think it was the first one we had to pay to get in which is sort of interesting but in any case as we hit the streets of Chongqing here we can keep our eyes peeled for some local culture because you guys know me I love local culture and in this instance the local culture is beautiful ladies so my understanding is uh typically in China the standard of beauty is very fair skinned very white or even pale skin and I guess women from Chongqing have the reputation in China of having the palest skin and being some of the most beautiful ladies so my guess is it's because it's so overcast all the time and there isn't much sun maybe people's skin stays very fair but in any case it's interesting for me because I think the standard of Beauty in Canada would be to have a nice tan and have some sort of dark skin showing that you've been south for the winter and been traveling and getting some sun on the beach or something and so with the intention of immersing myself in local culture I will keep my eyes peeled for beautiful ladies found one F from chong ching most beautiful lady I've ever seen you all right let's hit the City walk I'm not even fair I'm so Tad Indonesian it's getting uh away though the yes you're get you're becoming more uh Chinese more you're getting in touch with your roots Evon okay CityWalk and wow look at this image as we start our City Walk you've got the subway in the front the temple we were just in in the midr and then a huge office building or two or three of them really in the background kind of a nice ni contrast of Subway Temple and office building just nice look at this oh very cute I guess this lady is buying a basket for her doggy very cute so similar to Shanghai a lot of electric cars right and yet you still see traditional stuff like this truck over here full of something what's on that truck you think on the left side I think might be cardboard boxes maybe board bares but leaving in between all the electric vehicles right I love the lanterns in the tree so nice right oh yeah very pretty nice City View very nice love it oh my gosh check it out even the fruits are cyber Punk here in Chongqing wa is it real too good to be true the color is almost like the snack we have in Canada called fuzzy peach oh something new H it's like a peach maybe it's been sweeten it's like it's been soaked in sugar water or something it looks so good 25 okay okay one I'm buying it by 10 10 half 25 2 bucks worth we'll see what happens I think it's going to be artificially sweetened is my guess yeah so much oh half half half half other one it's a lot okay that's good what the heck man shoot the works man all right and the old school scale 25 for Kil or something don't I'm buying that much okay 25 25 yeah perfect good 25 25 say 25 yeah okay okay 65 oh no no no no half half 65 a lot no yeah half yeah yeah less l oh good catch good catch six this by the way this means six E I learned that this means six 6 * 2.6 40 how about just one kilo okay 40 good 40 is good whatever man it's it's it's good enough Iana we're going to eat it I'm going to love it I already know all right spend 40 I mean 41 on a fruit we have no idea what it is potential overpay no idea but I'm going with the flow try it are you nervous what is it no idea but how does it taste like let me see is it Plum it's so Orange it's so popping orange I think there's food coloring there's no seeds I think it's plum do it taste pickled or or do you want was too much to buy yeah it's pickled oh pickled fruit I think it's pickled sour sweet how does it taste like sour pickled sour okay it's also sweet all right I think just pickled one of the fruits with a pit like a peach or a plum all right there you have it I immediately regret this decision it's okay it's okay not bad I'm not sure what you do bag want try yes oh he's looking at it's I thought it was going to be soft but it's crunchy it's got a very nice texture actually mhm but it's a bit too sweet for my legging sweet and sour no sweet and sour I think it's plum Plum but how can it be crunchy I don't know man it's not like I thought it will be soft and like dried fruit but it's not no it's not dried fruit it's pickled in a funny way where it's still crunchy interesting interesting okay sh how it how it nice big trees here on the CityWalk and a very clean pathway and some nice stores on the outside pretty good place for a stroll in fact a truly tremendous place for a stroll because accidentally we have stumbled into what I think is the main Square here I'm going to try and pronounce it g Fang B yeah the area is called japang Bay and this is The Liberation Square Liberation square with this Monument honoring The Liberation from the Japanese obviously in World War II and uh something like Time Square in New York with all the bright lights around and all of the people with their phone we've got a vlogger right here make sure to like And subscribe everybody everyone is uh taking their selfies and doing their Instagram stuff a nice place to walk through yes and similar to Shanghai really clean and really organized foot path and no graffiti no vandalism I guess Shanghai might be brand new whereas some of these pathways are look a little bit old but still clearly maintained and organized and uh everywhere you look it looks like good places to walk look down there just a nice city walk here in chung ching pause the video what is happening here first of all the wall is so beautifully decorated I'm going to say this is chilies uh chong ching is known to have some of the most spicy food in um all of China I think they're selling butter for Hot Pot oh that's what it is you're right Ian you take a brick of this stuff and you drop it in your hot pot and everything you cook in the hot pot has that sort of uh Sichuan pepper that numbing sort of stay tuned for the video where Ivon and iwe I know stay tuned for the video where you and I have a Sichuan Hot Pot yeah in a bunker yes is our plan yes see if we can make that happen the spiciest frin in China spiciest Province in China nice okay stay tuned for that video keep your eyes to the left okay we can't afford it Ivana keep your eyes on the left we'll go to Bargain shop more of our Bargain shop yeah exactly sounds right stay tuned for shop and yeah because we've got to buy some cold weather clothes for the upcoming trip to Harbin yeah I heard it's likeus 30 there so got to buy really thick jackets so stay tuned for the secondhand store uh shopping Bonanza big puffy jackets and snow pants what is this Steve black says the impression of the old Chongqing so I guess Chongqing is sort of built on the side of a mountain and there's all these different levels so this is like an artist interpretation of what it used to look like it's like all kind of hanging together and wobbly it's uh it's pretty good art in sculpture yeah cuz Chong is known as the Mountain City typically these kind of sculptures do nothing for me this one's kind of nice I kind of get it it's cool and so we've sort of accidentally stumbled into a place called h you cave which maybe at this time I'll give you a sneak peek of what this place looks like at night because I think your head might explode and so we might not explore too much right now because that night is when it lights up and looks really amazing but in any case you can definitely get a sense of uh why they call this city the foggy City to be clear the camera is not out of focus this is just how it looks and uh it's not air pollution it's just fog because we're up in the mountains I guess whoa pause the Vlog what's happening down here are you scared or intrigued to go down there it looks like you're going into a cave it's actually a toilet down there it just says toilet I thought it was going to be a subway stop first of all the whole thing's built out of uh what looks like wood and then down there is like I mean I'm intrigued think that's why it's called H C I'm excited to go explore down there although I think it's just a toilet it's just a toilet okay I got to go bathroom anyway I I'll come back and report to you okay okay so in terms to the bathroom for me it was okay for you I don't know uh might be halfway but down there is the entrance to the cave oh really it's awesome so it is a cave it's awesome you should come see okay let's go wow what it's like an underworld down here pretty great no got a bunch of shops down here like a mall almost but we're in a cave and you can see the view popping out over here right and like I think you can go over here and see the view again let's check pretty great no wow I think we

from her maybe right but my B is getting full true okay next time chil and I guess some evidence why Chongqing is known as having the spiciest or at least some of the spicier food in China this is actually a snack with peanuts and chili this could be something you love Yana I could imagine you crunchy nutty crunchy I think it's sesam Sesame oh it is spicy but not too overwhelming try see it's just chilly though can I handle it yes I can can can can actually nice spicy um the trouble is I like the flavor uhhuh but it's too spicy for me yeah but I don't think we can eat the whole thing no I would be sick of yeah yeah but tast it's good but it's good I'll stay with my uh pork bellies sh oh my goodness I can smell the chili I can smell the chili man look at this the spicy food capital for sure wow amazing woo and you can buy I guess the chili paste here wow it smells so good but I know my stomach might not be able to handle that look at this chili and garlic what can be better look at this and and now we're just below the main road main rope is up here so in classic live and learn fashion I was just saying we weren't going to explore this place too much until sun goes down we've been here for 2 hours I know we've come down a wicked elevator yeah uh the water is just here so we see some boats going by I guess this orange thing is the big bridge yeah so we're simultaneously sort of outside sort of underground and sort of in the Waterfront right right right and in the cave yes and in a mall very cool I'm in five places I once what look at this what is this place is like real me a place you would see in a video game and you would think oh that place doesn't exist cuz it's so intricate in all tunnels and so adventurous right but it's real it is this is cool what yo man where am I at right now check out this view you've got this building here which I guess you could actually like drive a car car off the higher level there park your car and go down underground and come out here so it's sort of built into the side of the mountain we're underneath the bridge with all the traditional architecture here we've got this fella here who's literally being worked to death this poor bastard and then over here we've got some VR with the view of the Waterfront uh what an interesting place to be I think I've never seen a place like this even some traditional dresses for I guess some sort of photo shoot oh my gosh how to even describe this place it's a little bit of everything and it's uh truly a great place to travel cuz it's like trippy it's trippy good word Iana pause the video pause the video this is not a carrot no um oh look here it's got rice inside what is it and scall up top is actually a green onion or a leak yeah a leak and what is the orange thing I don't know I think it's done on purpose to make it look like a carrot to be funny but what is the orange part uh this is where the comments are going to help us it almost looks like it's I mean I really have no idea I can't even guess what it might be it's something at first I thought it was giant carrots definitely something looks like giant carrots quite funny and so we've come up to the road level I guess we were just down there uh this place here I really love it and I think we haven't even seen it in its best light yet so stay tuned for tonight oh good good eye Ivana good eye wow check that out what a sight to behold you got like a water fountain SLT temple with the a big building behind it all nestled amongst the trees and the lanterns I mean that's one of the most beautiful things in terms of a city not in terms of Mother Nature but that's a nice looking image holy jumping this side yo Chongqing is no joke right now wow this is a special thing and if I turn over here oh my God nice place man wow very cool stay tuned for my expert analysis how many times can I say wow in one video wow nice place man I'm not kidding you this is really one of the most and let's be clear I tend to speak hyperbolically but I really mean it when I say uh no thank you this is one of the most I don't even want to say beautiful cuz I say it too much but it's it's such an impressive cityscape with the waterfall coming from the modern building and then the ancient architecture uh right beside it it really is amazing doesn't matter which way you point the camera it's picturesque in every direction something very impressive and memorable for a tourist like me on my first day to see it it's like wow just spectacular oh oh look at this winding staircase up to what looks to be some sort of I guess a Viewpoint off that deck there wow something interesting in every direction and showdo to all my Construction Brothers working at Heights you guys know I used to be a roofer I'm not sure what these guys are doing but they're doing something sitting in a net and swinging a hammer or a hatchet hard hats on good work fellas stay safe and even some roofers I will admit that in Canada I could do all systems they call it I could do all the different types of roof but I never did a curved roof that was continuously wavy along the front edge so shout out to those guys very talented uh wavy roofers here in China and so actually now that I think of it sort of a similar cityscape here to Salvador Brazil the way the water is on one side and then the city immediately starts in a cliff right kind of similar to Salvador while being totally different in the architecture and the uh climate but it's just a cool City where you got the main sort of highway or Main Road along the Waterway and then the cliff goes up and the bu building start wow it's such a good location for this uh traditional architecture to pop out it really is I mean I can't say enough about it it's just spectacular over there just great and so we wanted to come down to this position here to end this section because we think this will be a good location to do a hard cut until tonight so Abra cadabra Alakazam and so certainly a world class Instagram location now my intention was to go back across the road and go to the exact location that I snap my fingers and do a nice transition from Sun in the sky to sun down and lights on but as you can see from the crowd here I absolutely could not manage it it is super crowded to say this is the hottest ticket here in Chongqing at night time would be an understatement there are people everywhere and including that bridge so Ivana and I were trying to go to the bridge it has a good Viewpoint we think there's got to be 2 or 3,000 people on that bridge oh yeah I think so which is sort of incredible because there's a road on top of the bridge and actually a train underneath it so it's an impressive thing in its own right and if you add to the fact that behind this incredible structure there there's a huge modern Skyline uh it's really a sight to behold with the bridge the lights on top of the traditional architecture and then the skyline they've really done a masterful job of highlighting all the accents with the lights and with the Drone it looks incredible because the drones up in the sky and most of the lights are on the roof although what's really special is I'm led to believe this place is at least nine floors because there is an elevator that goes to the ninth floor and so as you ascend each different level you get a good Viewpoint of the ones below you and so the lights are on full display from everywhere in the whole place it's like there is a unattractive location to sit in the whole place everywhere you look is done perfectly and so I'm feeling a little bit claustrophobic there are these people with the loudspeakers everywhere and they tend to just play the message over and over again which can be very loud and so maybe I and I will try to find some food I'm assuming as we walk through here we will find five or six different um snacks along the way people selling things So eventually we sit down for dinner but first we got to uh um go that way okay let's go photo shoot very pretty that's crazy right oh my gosh we were just doing some simple b-roll and this thing just fill the show that whole building is a screen man yeah I can see clear as thing I didn't see it until now oh we were just doing a simple little shot there that whole building kind of looks like a boat and I get to Iceberg right now wow awesome dude yeah he's good the guy in the McDonald's shirt singing very well singing and so I got a bit embarrassed there because the singer was like come here come here he wanted you to come up and sing with him he's doing a great job and he was singing in English but I'm not going to get on stage thing it was uh not going to happen super nice guy though but listen color me as pleasantly surprised because the crowd out in front of this place for me is unmanageable I figured walking through here my blood pressure would be slowly rising and rising and Rising as I get more and more uncomfortable but as you can see most people are out front trying to get Instagram photos most people are not in here trying to get street food so we feel like we've got a lot of space there's still noise and Chaos on action and things being sold everywhere but this is manageable for me and I am very happy it's nice here and lots of food it's making me very same same same wow the mother of all cotton candy what is this it's Noodle ohod No Chinese no Chinese H Engish no Chinese sorry sorry sorry please okay okay you want some you want some new maybe candy is it good it's I'm so from this

Bowl making noodles drinking beer drinking beer you name it chong ching is a bowl it's good the noodle is really good the noodle is it's very soft very soft like like almost like angel hair yeah it

the chickp this is the Chili's over there and this is all the ingredients and she's boiling up in this kind of vertical uh net vertical stacked metal net nice shake shake shake shake okay okay okay bye-bye bye all right time to hit the streets again or hit the leveled walkways at the very least let's go Wasing us so there is a lot of food in this place for sale that I want to try unfortunately I have no space right now although I think before this trip is out I will be eating a lot of that looks like very oily potato with lots of spices on it oh yeah fried potatoes looks good right yeah and I saw the flip kind of like crab kind of style snack I don't know what it is yeah like a pancake looks good lots of stuff to try and now that the sun has been down for a few hours across the river or across the waterway at least the modern buildings are all lit up which is a nice contrast from our uh everything's yellow and everything's ancient to their mostly blue and red uh modern Skyline what an interesting place to overlook I mean Super memorable just a great place oh that's unexpected some nice street art wow I think I'll do a little comparison between Chongqing and Shanghai because it feels like just yesterday that Ivana and I were doing a similar type video when we arrived in Shanghai for the first time and we were like wow and so it's only right we can kind of compare the experience uh for one the pricing structure is totally different so in Shanghai it's about twice as expensive on average for things compared to Chongqing that was both for the accommodation the food and the beer to be clear Shanghai is more any more wow so it makes sense that it costs more but it's just a fact and uh for two Shanghai is more like you want to said futuristic whereas Chongqing is a lot more local culture even there's a lot more people sitting down in the street selling things in Chongqing including those little pink berries we bought which Side Story were not very good sorry guys most of the time we do positive review but they just didn't hit the spot that I was craving in that moment uh nevertheless yet another unbelievable view here with the skyline over there so maybe this is a good note to end on as I uh am running out of my voice cuz I'm trying to compete with the loudspeakers but in the end I could not choose between Chongqing and Shanghai both offer a lot in terms of Tourism Shanghai may be more impressive like futuristic and wow and chong ching more cultural but both awesome places so stay tuned for more videos uh later skaters what does it say say happy birthday Steve oh look at this same walkway we were in V is never going to end dude this is nice I'm a little bit old to do it but I want to just go frolicking over here and skipping and we do it do it do it do it I mean I'm considering it come on yeso come on see look at this chonging really comes alive at night
