Western Media Don’t Want You To See The TRUTH About CHINA
it's un it's actually unbelievable definitely not what I expected here 100% look at that that's incredible she's like literally detail like anything paint them on there all right we're going to drop our FKS back here hi guys welcome back we're on tour dges if you're new here we're a full-time travel couple from the UK we are currently in Beijing the capital city of China we have been here for about 4 days exploring and today we are just jumping straight on the Metro there's the Metro let 5 minutes from our place and heading to the Antique Market yeah we're heading to a Antique Market called P Pon we what we're going to do today cuz we've heard a lot in the media about it being dangerous and it not being safe and stuff so we're going to go to some of the local areas and just see how how we're treated first impressions of China feels like so safe and everything's feels good but we just want to test it out a little bit more just to show you guys at home exactly what China's like the there is literally cameras everywhere as you can see there there there but this is the Metro station they are normally highly monitored the Metro is just the affordable and best way and even the locals use it probably the majority of the time this is the thing in China everything is cashless so there's never ever anyone on this ticket booth they're always out patrolling you got to like pick up the phone there and call them for some help and normally they're quick speeded straight to line 10 we're getting the hang of it now we just had one stop on there we got change line T straight to our destination we're like pros so you notice that like obviously we got checked on the scanners for security like make sure not caring think we're not supposed to be um you don't really get that in malls or like other public places really there's pretty much zero terrorist threat here in China petty crime is like really really low and serious crime is against tourists especially is like zero it's a lot safer here than it is like Paris or London or places like that generally Beijing even though it's the capital it's it's very safe especially for us tourists we don't really get no sort of issues at all I'm trying to like speak to you as well as like concentrate on like navigating myself between all the different uh all the people around me as that cuz this station's really busy so hopefully the Antique Market should be open today says it's mainly open on the weekend today is like Tuesday Wednesday something like that but they said most of the stores open on the weekend they should be open during the week as well Happ there oh it went in and it didn't open I always all these scooters on the side of the road and they always leave like the coat things on there like the hand warmers that go in front of the seat so I'm not too wor about I think this is it are is it looks like it could be it this is the Antique Market you can also get like souvenirs homemade stuff let's have a look for it it looks so cool they're all like sat on the floor spoted someone with voice cream they've got loads of these bracelets little craft ornaments other like food this is more open place we got some jewelry rings oh look at it another thing to mention do you know I mentioned earlier about like Petty F really low right one of the main reasons is totally cashless so this Market you would expect there to be like a major like exchange of cash lot of cash lot of cash no cash at all so every single vendor they all have so these are your little alley pays so you pay for these on your phone how can Petty exist if there's no cash and it's easy to set up as well so if you come over as a tourist you could just set your Al pay up we done it and we're totally cashless now part from the Metro we're doing cash on the Metro AP from that totally cashless even a market like this look at that that's incredible she's like literally detail like anything paint them on there so she's painting that picture from the FR on there that's so cool so I'm looking for a s with the zodiacs on it my um niece was learning at school so I'm going to see if they got anything like that and they also have like the marble kind of bracelet different colors which have um different meanings like mood and like anxiety and let see what they is so you can make like your own bracelet pick your beads graub on the wood things and she put it together for you a real like um Hands-On Market this one like everyone's like doing something very like made in China here see what I mean that she's literally like carving them right there and then but normally um like around sort of Asia and around the world they would all be shipped in already made but yeah they're literally making them and selling them right in front of you it's un it's actually unbelievable live streaming there that's what I love about China they literally don't care what anyone thinks about them they just get on with their day no no one's nosing in people's business are they I think if you Vlog say you Vlog in the UK or in Europe everyone looks what he doing speaking to that camera you if you Vlog here everyone's like what's

Che your receipt 13 yeah I thought it was so this was 13 so little bit more expensive than some places but compared to our favorite place M compared to minsu minsu if you don't if you've been to China you'll know minsu is unbelievable but am I going to try these let's try these out these look unbelievable look at that it's got some sort of seasoning on some sort of sausage it's like crunchy where it's been deep fried it's got like a [ __ ] it's not spicy like a sweet Chinese spice is it sausage yeah I think it is and there sauce on there I don't know what that is maybe it's like a hoison or some sort of soy but it's not really strong there's like a little after KCK of like spice I don't know if it's all got the same spice on but let's try them all these little cubes maybe tofu yeah I think it's said Foo Fu something so maybe it's tofu no that's definitely me that tastes like pork oh really and again it's got a similar spice with like the sweet sweet and spicy after spicy sort of like a oregano kick as well and then yeah this last one another like sausage looking thing I think it's got similar spice on exp that I don't think any of it's meat you no that's got to be meat be try this it looks like it should be a sausage that's well noce though so you don't think any of them are meat I'm not oh I just got kick I think that sausage no idea but this is really nice it's got like a spicy and sweet marinade on this is my favorite one actually I haven't tried this one that is not pork is it pork I what is it though look at it though I don't know we have no idea what we're eating here you might have to comment down below but this one's really nice as well it could be B it doesn't look like pork though it doesn't look like pork it tastes like pork I think where the marinade is so wrong you can't really tell what you're eating yeah but the textures like meat fish could be fish out all three that one's my favorite look look he's been munching that all the way behind the screens they were good we're going to go back into the market cuz I just want to grab bracelet and then we're going to move on to our next place bracelets I think they 10 I'm just going to grab one strawberry strawberry Crystal strawberry Crystal tast go check this out as well so this Market has its own Wii even if you have your phone and you're out of data or anything like that and you need to use your alipay connect to the Wi-Fi and then you're free to use your Wi-Fi of everything they for every single scenario so you can never run out of battery you can never run out of Internet China living in the year 3000 so I know we were speaking about cameras earlier just just sat here right overlooking the market um basically One camera two camera three camera four camera Five camera is that a camera underneath but yeah you're always always being watched but like I said earlier that's a good thing because obviously there's no crime cuz no one can get away with anything yeah it's a good thing you always been watched by the right people so it's good we're just walking to get princess a drink cuz he's like literally lying up first princess there should be a 7-Eleven up here in a minute we're going to take one of these bikes out and go for a ride around here CU it is absolutely stunning and it's really relaxing we did it the other day and we really enjoyed it and bending crash which is like mental we're just walking around here and there just so many public toilets I've never been to a country where you always pass one there's no like litter there's no confetti so they're not like damaged or anything and they're everywhere that's how like everyone respects everything out here like you can use the facial recognition software to open the fridge and get a drink out that was in our country I say I used my face and opened up some kids come up behind me and grab a load out 100% but it just shows you like they trust everyone and that's a good thing with the facial software and the cameras everywhere it just like makes it safe for everyone got a love a 7-Eleven here in you know what you're going to get and they got some cool funky food in there so check it out where Ben gets his water grab me but as well Ben always got these things boy cups of ice ice drinks already made up ice cream look at these ready meals Sushi sandwiches there like a bakery bit donut oh it's got like Fresh Cream in there B's getting the water all of these teas oh tea so many different ones check out yeah how cheap the beer is in this country never ever fing it so try look for a cheap one here you go this beer I don't even know what this is whatever this beer is 550 5 650 yeah so as you're talking 50p for a bit so cheap all right going this way what was meaning by public toilet look how many there is just in our area now they everywhere so if you really need a toilet your cut short or whatever it is you can say there's loads all over the place it's my type of place so luckily there's only literally two blue BS here and these are the only ones we can use on our alip play simply go on your alip play Hello bike you can trans that's a good thing about alip you can translate everything what happened hello it talks to me I'm unlocked I'm done and we're on it what so you can literally change your seat height with this it's very easy as you can see B put these up and then you got a little basket to put your stuff in Snapchat my pals if you're wondering people can't just take these they're like locked so when you finish your ride they'll lock up so you can't move them and they're stuck but this one's I think this is a bit of an old battered one but let's make a move I think we're going to head to like coffee shop maybe or something points for however long we want and we're going ahead think straight out need to check my out this is the best way to get around and one of the cheapest if you're not using the Metro well good I am at bik I used to ride a bike to and from work every day it's been in front come on baby this way Ben come on Ben I think we like the motorway so on this bike there's no gears so you don't have to change them it's super easy you got your basket you just don't have to do anything except for a ride I love it and you have your own separate line and the traffic isin't even that bad to be honest it's not even like a lot of vehicles on the road there's so many bikes but them electric scooters you got to watch out for because they're so quiet where they're electric you can't hear them coming that's the most dangerous thing about them and they just merge from anywhere no helmets or nothing either but I suppose you're in one lane you're not going to hit be hit by a car very often unless you cross paths all right we're going to drop our books back here we need nearly crash I didn't realize how good the brakes were but the whole time we were Runing I had my phone in here and when I went using the GoPro I had that in there and everything is absolutely safe bik lock back up no one can use it easy peasy lemon squeezy we did about 20 minutes prob with them Bo there so many little flies and they've all got on my eyes and they look watering yeah you had like big old puffy eyes the other day would you yeah it's still swollen under there I think a fly must have gotten to look my eye socket or something FR bit your eye pooed in there and infected it so we've actually come to a a mall and we're going to try out lukan coffee which is China's like biggest coffee yes I'm trying to do something which is China's biggest coffee brand and we've never tried it before so why not going to try it here space three I'm not sure if it's like a mall but it's got loads of like popular coffee brands Starbucks Tim hton and there's also a Metro just underneath we're just going inside oh I think it is a mall wow Ben's arguing me it's a Subway uh it isn't is a Subway it isn't if getting a head massage is a Subway 7eleven I'd so laugh the coffee shop was standing cuz it was probably it's a sway food court it's definitely like the food court area I'm right look what's that told you Metro there L off camera you would not believe the grief you would not believe the grief I'm getting about me sending as a Metro down here there's clearly a met it's on the sign I said it on camera you said what on camera that I'm giving you bre not off camera right all right we changed M we're crossing over to Viva Beijing oh people going Ben um it's got a bigger coffee shop over there and I think it's got loads more shops I swear I just saw a Sephora on there and I'm running out makeup so look how far back it goes I know look at it all on there so I think we're going to chill there it looks like it might start raining it's starts Cloud over so it might be a good idea to hide in there for a bit this was talking about earlier um entering the mall no security no like scanners all that sort of thing we've been in countries before and you go it's like an airport check here absolutely fine look at it there's no threet massive beautiful can we go in there is it a Cal uh sit there look at this place look who we just sat in there I think just go in there chill out oh my gosh it's little robot has a little camera in it it's a robot cat it's fle oh my God this is what I love the most about China the cats oh this one been poy go in there then look ah you probably got pay look prices just where you regenerate you can go and sit in there and CH that's good for anxiety though isn't it it's very good for anxiety but I would do that if I having a bad day I'd come and sit with cats that' literally Be Heaven to me look at this in the middle they're playing like games in that on the Playstation or Xbox or whatever it is like PlayStation you got like an arcade here ah can you get tokens this floor is like a hangout floor so yeah you can play you play your games go to Mr meow chill out with some cats so yeah it's the ultimate like hangout spot there money there avocado in it uh don't know oh it moved just come to the uh DJI shop and a mini Bri which is like what £400 at home is huh the pro the pro the Mini 3 Pro which is at least £400 I don't know how much it is but it's like 230 lb so yeah your gadgets DJI a lot cheaper in China trust me a lot cheaper after what seems like a billion years right we found the coffee chain we've been we've been strolling around that mall for what seems like next birthday yeah yeah my I seem like an old man now um yeah found it it's just outside it's literally outside the entrance so yeah let's get a coffee oh not any playay you can actually order on there yeah so he didn't want to um do like a transaction like between us he said just pointed to the app and uh alip pay and then he he toed it in for me and it'll be done everything's digital nowadays trying to get around it with the language bar as well it's difficult but luckily the Alle PL app actually look transes everything for you so it's a little bit more easy how easy is that you just do it on your app come in with your QR code and scan it it's literally like seconds Lally like the year 3000 so you could be in your office building or your drink run down here and then grab it first time trying lucking coffee it is a Chinese drink brand I couldn't find any tea on the menu I just found like this cold juice and Ben just's got Americano why so I just want to talk a little bit about like obviously the idea of this video is about safety in China going from experience obviously this is a little bit quiet there obviously it's a little bit quiet in there we've sat in coffee shop before but I flash a little clip up and people are just leaving their laptops like leaving their phones on the side they're just not bothered I mean anywhere else in the world most places in the world in Europe and stuff in America you'd never do that because within 1 minute would go missing this is really weird it's orange and Jasmine so you get an orange flavor and then before the end with the perfume flavor not sure if I'm a fan but it's refreshing we were going to go and try a tea house today but all of them are like looking online look really expensive it looks like it's like an experience like a like a museum kind of thing I'm not sure the tourists if we come across a good one we'll try and go in there cuz you got to try the tea out it but we haven't actually really looked seen one going to finish the video here just a little sum up on our experience so far in China and our sort of First Impressions this is our first time in China absolutely Blown Away by it I think it's possibly the safest place I've ever been people are absolutely lovely as well and so helpful language there's a massive language barrier no one really speaks English we don't speak Chinese together we get over it they don't get frustrated we don't get frustrated with like all the technology it's kind of like easy to bypass it like we could order our drinks on here on the menu without communicating with him cuz we wouldn't have been able to got start so much that you don't even need to speak the same language we've all speak the same language we all know technology it's definitely not what I expected here 100% like not what you'd think it is trust me you have to experience it don't listen to the news as we say all the time come out here and experience it and then you understand I think the West has got a lot to learn from China just the way they sort of go around their daily life make sure you watch the next video because we're going to try beijing's best street food so subscribe China oh it's a dead end so this is the 18 antique so this is the 18 an what's the word antique one and that sauce on there I don't know what that is come here you give me the word's biggest STW [Music]
