I hope you’re enjoying your tour in Xi’an. And just a friendly reminder, if you need any help, just use the google translation or talk with the young people, probably they have a good education about English and they are willing to be the translator or guide to help you about your dinings and journeys. Xi’an is famous for its noodles. Have a good time in Xi’an❤

@violetviolet888 Ай бұрын

@SoNowhere_Xin: Alipay has a better translation feature than google. Not many Chinese in Xi'an know English, best to use made up sign language or the translation feature or point.

6:49 The toilet said: “Smoking in the restroom is prohibited. Violators may face fines or even criminal charges.” China has undergone development in two to three decades that took Europe several generations. Consequently, many habits considered uncivilized by modern standards, remnants of the pre-industrial era (such as smoking indoors, spitting, or littering in public), still persist.

You are correct, also smoking in the train could cause a fire, that’s why it is forbidden

Maybe this is a little bit offensive. But in Chinese traditional culture, people consider some asking like “where r u from” or “have u eaten” as greeting. China is a big country, which has endured many wars and hunger, so asking that questions could know that what customs in your hometown and know that whether you are in hunger.

Love seat is a literal direct translation of Chinese, this byte translation will make foreigners find it very funny, they will think it is a place to talk about love. The exact translation of it should be priority seat or reserved seat。If it's a service desk in a station, it should be translated as Volunteer service station (for special groups of people)

The high speed train network in China is AMAZING. I prefer it to air travel whenever I can, since it’s much more convenient, environmentally friendly, and equally fast (airport usually locates way out of the metropolitan area, much harder to get to than the train station ).
