When I first visited China, I was absolutely pleasantly surprised as well. It was NOTHING like USA and the West told us back home. Alternatively, when I first visited USA I was also shockingly surprised as well. Again it was NOTHING like USA and the West told us back home. China was modern, futuristic, generally people were fit, they had the most AMAZING Civic Infrastructures and most affordable Civic Services throughout the Country, USA was modern, but only in places where Billionaires lived (LA, NYC, LV) ... and only within the suburbs of the places where Billionaires lived. But for most of the country the Civic Infrastructures needed serious maintenance or replacements/constructions, and the Civic Services were NOT affordable to millions of USA Citizens. I could not believe that the richest Country in the world have 70 Million (out of 340 Million) living in poverty. And the stupid Gun Laws in USA where they allow 40,000 Gun related deaths every year, mainly amongst the poor, so that the Corporates can make billions in profit every years, and it is also a means of culling their poor population, saving paying out government social security financial support. China had a Government that totally focused on the needs of EVERY ONE of their citizens (1.5 Billion people). USA had a Government that heavily focused on the interests of CORPORATIONS regardless they have 70 Million, out of 340 Million, living poverty (and the numbers are growing daily).

I'll say it again, there isn't anyone posting better China content than you two 🇨🇳 This is a proper travel video people.

国外的旅游博主看过几个，但这位Jack是唯一令人期待的一位。可能是角度与众不同，也可能是女友很有喜感。总之很喜欢看你的视频，即便是用自动翻译字幕。

英国式幽默和中国人的认真形成很有意思的互动，很喜欢这对夫妇的到访

75岁的大叔太搞笑了哈哈哈 很佩服他的自信 我学了这么多年英语说起来都很胆怯😂

A little knowledge about bird raising: bird raising was once a hobby of the Chinese nobleman, so the bird cages they used were also very particular, and an expensive bird cage could cost up to 100,000 or 200,000 RMB.

My God those Old folks are hilarious. This guy singing itlian, drawing.....his drawing...😂😂😂😂😂wtf😂😂😂😂😂.he is a character., 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 They are all gold

I lived in Shanghai you showed parts of why it's arguably one of the best cities of the world so much going on everywhere

Come here from Bilibili to support💚. I feel that Jack has a great talent for language. Both Jack and Paige are very friendly and willing to experience the unique local culture. There is an old saying in China:It is such a delight to have friends coming from afar.😀

说实话，我被上海大爷的画作逗笑了😂我甚至还期待了作品完成的那一刻

I love the interactions with the Chinese people, they're my favourite parts :) Thank you!

You are the travel couple who are most good at integrating into local life. The trip to Shanghai made you look very relaxed. After the video of you taking the train to Xinjiang, you got another name, the Iron Hip Couple in the Chinese media.

Absolutely love this video. There are no two countries are the same. The essence of traveling is to interact with the local and get to know their culture. It is the only way to eliminate the barriers and misunderstandings. You two are open minded, willing to communicate and interactive.

China is truly amazing country! Keep up the good work! Keep telling the Truth as you see on tge ground! ❤😊

Hahaha, the sketch work that Grandpa drew for you three made me laugh uncontrollably.

Bro, I really like your video. Your videos observe various countries from the perspective of ordinary people, which is very down-to-earth. I saw you drinking with oldman in Beijing and eating noodles on the streets of Urumqi, which made me feel great! I found out that you are a football fan,If you have the opportunity to travel to Beijing next time, I suggest you watch a Beijing Guoan's game. The Workers' Stadium in Beijing is one of the best football stadiums in Asia, and the fans in Beijing are as passionate as those in the UK! Enjoy your trip and have fun!

和本地人交流而不是仅仅参观商业地带是这种旅游最大的意义所在，love your videos❤

even shanghai senior residents may speak some English, It is amazing

三人画像真的笑死我🤣

Well done, interacting with locals always earn you extra points in your video.

Just stumbled upon this. What a delightful vlog. So full of good humour and positive vibes. Jack, Paige and Maxwell are the sort of people every country should roll out their red carpet for. Thumbs up!!

Man! After following your channel for couple weeks, yours are the top 3 of my favorite.

Your interaction is so joyful. Chinese parks are oases in cities where everyone can enjoy happiness. A peaceful and safe environment is amazing!

I am dying 😂😂😂😂 Paige’s face @41:11 greetings from Germany and thanx for another heart warming video…. ❤❤❤

I went to China in 2007 to work for an a joint venture between an American theatrical company and a Chinese one. It was an American broadway musical and it was one of the first to tour China. The first city was Shanghai, and I went exploring by myself that first night. Didn't know the language or anything. The people were very nice, but back then China didn't see many people from the west walking their streets, so I stood out and was a bit of a novelty. Not many people spoke English at the time, except for young college age people. I visited 7 cities and it was the most exciting, because it was nothing like the U.S. Although when I was in Shanghai it was so hot that I would have to change my shirt several times a day. I will say Shanghai now seems a bit more touristy than I remember it being back then. I never saw a Chinese man wearing a New York Yankees cap when I was there, believe me, I would have been very excited being from New York.

Hi Jack. Next month 19th, is the Qingdao Beer Festival, if you have the opportunity to go to see, very grand.

The part when Jack trys to sell Paige in marriage market is so funny😂

Jack my man! Great to you and yr cuttie pie traveling and sharing again, All the positivity and good will vibe! Big UPs!!!

BTW, the guy you thought is a begger, he was actually asking for bottles to recycle lol

Omg... Utterly funny and Absurd about the Marriage Matching park... Hahahhahahha. I love this craziness. The whole thing is so surrealist.

that duet is just next level!

Yes Shanghai is a very friendly city, however the other places in China are equally friendly. Enjoy your travel!

Such a nice way to wake up in the morning at 7am. Absolutely, love when your videos pop up. Makes my day 100% way better, thank you. The man learning Portuguese seems so nice and very friendly. Keep up the hard work. Love you guys 💗💗

jack dancing with the lady made me laugh so much hahah

dude speaking from his heart, love them big girls😂😂😂

Brilliant video guys 👌..the drawing is class 😂.. so sweet.. you should auction it/raffle to your followers.. 😁

Nice to see so wonderful happy people. No words of praise enough for Jack & Aynsley.

I absolutely loved watching this. So Interesting and such lovely people and food. Thank you jack & lovely paige ❤

Hi the famous Jiu Xian couple ☘️greetings from Ireland here, keep up with the great work in China, we can't get enough of it.

Your way of traveling means you get to meet a lot of actual locals. Most local people in Shanghai speak foreign languages to some extend (mostly English) due to the city's history, but in most popular tourist spots, the workers are from other provinces and are not as well versed in foreign languages. It is said that in certain parts of Shanghai, especially the downtown areas where foreign embassies are situated, one can live a normal life while only knowing English. Now this is hearsay that my family told me (I was born and raised in Shanghai), but I didn't find a chance to go verify that myself yet (and I would like to someday, just going around pretending I don't speak Mandarin), but for now take this info with a pinch of salt Edit: skimming through the video and saw the food at the end there. Strictly speaking, Shanghai really don't have a "local cuisine" to speak of, it is more of a conglomeration of the cuisine of the surrounding area plus a lot of European influences. You can find the likes of Schnitzels and Borscht and many more European classics to be considered staples in Shanghai cuisine, although heavily modified from their original to fit the Chinese taste. But it also goes the other way as well, the Shanghainese version of the cuisines from surrounding areas have been modified to better suit the taste of Europeans who lived in the area in the past, which is why the ribs you tried tasted so much like the ones you get in England.

jack真的好帅，妻子笑起来也很阳光，衷心祝愿你们旅途愉快

Paige seems much more relaxed in this video. Enjoy your time!

Omg Jack you can speak Portuguese as well?! So amazing seeing the older gentleman learning Portuguese!

the old man at 23:00 is very intellectually curious and studious 🥰

you the first dive deep into the local lives, respect.

“you are really like a Mona Lisa” hahaha so cute!!

How ironic is it that the US has classified China as a high-risk country and advised not to travel to China😂

Thanks for your video, I feel the passion of the people❤

看到这个老头一脸的认真，我认为他画的应该是一副巨作！当你拿过那张画的 时候，我快笑死了！！！🤣🤣🤣 很明显，这个视频他才是主角，你们一行人都成了配角！

Hahaha... I couldn't stand laughing 😅🤣That was hilarious.

Omg that’s so funny. As a Chinese I would have never done these things in a park. Too shy for this. But you guys are amazing and I can tell that you are super intelligent. Can’t stop laughing while watching. Love your videos 🎉

Holy! You can say "侬好“ ， that's impressive!

I love this video so much! Made me laugh and smile a lot 😄❤

That artist took revenge on you guys for messing with the marriage agent lady 🤪 😂😂

Although there are many English speakers, communication seems more chaotic than before.😂😂😂But kindness is always there.❤

46:00 The things about Shanghai cuisine is that you must review Shanghai's history first. Shanghai was a county seat with around 200,000 population before 1840. After First Opium War Shanghai was opened as a trade port and ceded a concession to Britain for British merchants. You can still found some British style old build in The Bund. (For example, the Custom House was build by Britain and it used to play Westminster Quarters on every quarter). Since then it grew rapidly and became a primary commercial and financial hub of Far East in the 1930s. When the PRC was establish in 1949, the population of Shanghai is around 5 million. So the majority of Shanghainese are immigrants from neighbouring provinces Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the so called Shanghai cuisine, in a narrow sense, it is local cuisine which originated in Shanghai for those local inhabitant who lived in Shanghai before 1840. In a broader sense, it's a mixture of Jiangsu cuisine and Zhejiang cuisine.

I loved this episode. The people of China seem lovely.

Man grandpa is just the best....he is a vibe😂😂😂😂

Lmao When I saw the drawinging, I almost died laughing.

😂😂 best blog ever...i love the singing...was that a remix???😂😂

This episode is just too funny!

Nice velog brother 🥰

In China you will see a magical phenomenon: energetic old people and lifeless young people.

Excellent!!!

LMAO when I see the portrait 😂. But trying to sell your wife is another level 😂

200块的发型看起来相当不错，兄弟，你很慷慨😂

Loving this video and the pure contentment with the people dancing in the park on Sunday mornings! Hillarious how the music needs to be turned down before 11am. I may dust off my dancing shoes and go do some dancing when I visit Shangahi :)

Bro. What a lovely episode

Wow, Max is amazing with his language skills.

Hey, I really enjoy watching your videos. I find interacting with the local people the most captivating part. I particularly liked the episode where you drank with Beijingers in the Hutongs. It was so warm and cosy. It would be boring if there was always someone to help translate. Sometimes language can cause misunderstandings, but communicating with the heart never does. China is a vast country with diverse cultures, and I encourage you to explore more places there. I'm looking forward to watching new episodes. ❤ from CN

刷了个难度副本之后回到新手村😁😁😆😆

After seeing what the grandpa drew， I understand why the white lady try to stop him🤣🤣🤣

Tell Paige she's so adorable.😊

那老头的画功已经够震撼了，还带个突出的乳房，本来当个笑话看，直到收了50块钱，我再次震惊... 我对佩奇感到抱歉。

That’s my hometown, people! Plan to visit it with my children next month:D

Always a good adventure and laugh, very immersive.😀

that painting let me get laugh out loud

Hahahaha the funniest part was trying to get paige married in China lol

I won't like to make a collection on the title. Should be the "Friendliest country in Asia" not "Friendliest city in Asia" Why did I said this. Because anywhere, any city you go to in China, we Chinese are all friendly to foreigners. Because we Chinese treat foreigners visiting us as our guests.

Very nice video. I wish you a happy time in China.😍😍😍😍

Hey Jack and Paige! Been following your China journey and it's been awesome. Love your camera quality too, would you mind telling me what camera you use?

Love the moves Jack but Paige def has the better dance feet 💃.The artist man was funny and just passionate about what he does very abstract lol…. 👨‍🎨 Food always looks so tasty 🤤 😋

Chinese people here! Good to see you had a great time in Shanghai, Jack! I love the vibe and clear explanations in your video!

Oh my gosh,!hi guys, what are you doing? It’s so happy.😂😂😂❤❤❤ you are dance it’s very very very good😅😅😅哈哈哈哈

小笼包，红烧肉，椒盐肉条还有面条都不错，都好吃😋

～镜头晃的越来越肆无忌惮了😄🤣～悠闲的不得了～～😃

佩琪:我需要英俊帅气身高合适非常有钱一个真正爱我的男人 中介:你有什么？ 佩琪:我什么都没有也不想呆在家里干活😂😂😂😂

The wedding market part just cracked me up.

噗哈哈哈哈哈，唱歌那一段，又尴尬又好笑😂😂😂😂

"you look like mona lisa" is probs a strangest compliment youd get

Big fan brother from Pakistan 🇵🇰

Omg,,what the funny video today 😂😂😂😂

笑死我了 老爷爷那个画 哈哈哈哈

43:57 like hand holding axe 😂

Fuxing Park, elders dance here in the morning, and in the nights, the most popular clubs are there for the youngers. there are maybe 10 clubs in that brown glass building behind you. I guess that's where Maxwell usually dance 😆
