Like sort of the layout like with the riverĀ and stuff yeah I love this city I love thisĀ Ā city too we have so much more planned today soĀ yeah letās go off to the next activity [Music]
Now now we just just going to explore moreĀ of this Old Town here as you can see itāsĀ Ā so beautiful and like itās so weird rightĀ you got all these skyscrapers but here youĀ Ā got all these Old Town buildings itāsĀ such an irony isnāt it and one thingĀ Ā
I really like about this spot is thereāsĀ not really a lot of people which is quiteĀ Ā nice sometimes Chinese tourist attractionsĀ can get really really busy and filled with People wow so they have happy birthdayĀ as well yes ah Jun sh ah okay IĀ Ā was showing off my Chinese butĀ not impressed okay sh [Music] [Music] sh this is one thing I want to talk aboutĀ though in China that is a little bit strange theyĀ Ā
Build all of these big structures they buildĀ all these restaurants all of this but sometimesĀ Ā it just doesnāt get used because thereās so muchĀ infrastructure itās crazy I feel like that thereĀ Ā needs to be another 30 million people added toĀ this city even know itās a city of 34 millionĀ Ā
I believe okay so right now weāre going into MenaĀ coffee which I believe is a popular coffee chainĀ Ā here in China so letās go in and check it out soĀ weāre just sitting in the coffee shop Iām reallyĀ Ā
Excited to try my coffee so um I wanted thatĀ coffee so bad that I forgot to film it I drankĀ Ā the whole thing but right now what weāre doing isĀ weāre going down to the river here weāre going toĀ Ā
Get the ferry across and uh yeah see what a ferĀ is like here in Chongqing which should be reallyĀ Ā cool the ferry terminal opens at 5:00 and itāsĀ now4 2 5 so weāre just making our way there soĀ Ā
Yeah letās go should be fun okay so you might alsoĀ be wondering where does everyone charge all theirĀ Ā electric vehicles well you can see here thereās aĀ whole heap of EV Chargers this whole parking lotĀ Ā here is filled with electric vehicle ChargersĀ which is really cool and this is the first lotĀ Ā
Iāve seen in Chongqing today but I may have notĀ been looking properly but thatās really cool toĀ Ā see so yeah so right now weāve made it down toĀ the bottom floor we were just up there and uhĀ Ā
Yeah now we got to go and get the fairy are youĀ just admiring the beautiful buildings okay soĀ Ā down here this is our Ferry Iām really reallyĀ excited for this I havenāt been on a ferry inĀ Ā
A while too and Sophia youāve only ever beenĀ on one right when I donāt know where were weĀ Ā in Thailand in Thailand yeah we went on a ferryĀ in Thailand so the ferry leaves at 5:00 and itāsĀ Ā
Almost 5 so we got to keep going okay here we goĀ walking on now this is so cool theyāve got theseĀ Ā little like barges here that like put you ontoĀ the ferry cuz the ferry is so big so itās sortĀ Ā
Of hard to get off on the side here okay cool soĀ weāre now up on the ferry we just made it in timeĀ Ā and uh yeah weāre going to be going across thereĀ China we love China I think right now weāre goingĀ Ā
Somewhere over there so that should be good andĀ this is the area weāre actually staying actuallyĀ Ā I know that Iāve said this a million timesĀ already but itās so sad The Bleak sky todayĀ Ā such a bummer but um a lot of the Drone footageĀ Iāll show today is like really really clear andĀ Ā
Nice Skies so you can actually see what itāsĀ normally like but today weāve just been reallyĀ Ā unlucky with that so you can see this boat justĀ here it sort of looks like that thereās threeĀ Ā
Houses just put on top itās like a house boat aĀ massive fairy house boat okay right on 5:00 weāreĀ Ā now moving wow this looks really cool I reallyĀ like the uh Chinese flag back here [Music] too
[Music] so the uh tickets for this Ferry BelieveĀ It or Not were really really cheap at only $4Ā Ā per person which is such great value for whatĀ youāre getting itās like sort of a mini tourĀ Ā of the city but also transport as well forĀ only $4 so here behind me is actually whatĀ Ā
I was talking about before we went to last nightĀ as you can see from these drone shots here thisĀ Ā just looks amazing at night time but in the dayĀ when itās a little bit foggy like this it looksĀ Ā
A little bit different but I could imagine inĀ the summertime this would just look so beautifulĀ Ā but because itās winter you know it still looksĀ good but not as good as what it could [Music] be
Okay so weāre now off the ferry we actuallyĀ had to get off a stop earlier uh because itāsĀ Ā too shallow to go to the other side so I thinkĀ now we have to get a taxi to go to the otherĀ Ā
Side so far so good todayās been really reallyĀ lovely experience when we were just on the ferryĀ Ā then these two girls came up to me and said canĀ we have a photo and I said sure let me just getĀ Ā
My fiance and we all took a photo together and itĀ was nice out practicing their English also thatāsĀ Ā one thing that Iāve noticed in China is peopleĀ like to practice their English especially theĀ Ā little kids as well their parents will say goĀ speak English to The Foreigner go speak EnglishĀ Ā
To The Foreigner kids will practice so sort ofĀ cute okay so right now weāre just climbing allĀ Ā the way up here to go to another part of the cityĀ so then we can see the view all over Chongqing andĀ Ā
Different things so yeah we got to climb up theseĀ stairs so letās go so another thing I want toĀ Ā mention as well is thereās a lot of Tourism hereĀ in Chongqing now itās not tourism like myself orĀ Ā or Sophia itās actually local tourism so ChineseĀ people coming from all different cities whetherĀ Ā
That be Shenzhen or Wuhan or Beijing a lot ofĀ different Chinese people all around China comeĀ Ā to Chongqing and experience it like all theĀ people in the ferry they are taking photosĀ Ā and everything but theyāre from different partsĀ of China experiencing Chongqing so itās sort ofĀ Ā
Like a local [Music] tourism I donāt know ifĀ this is some type of key anti- camera protestĀ Ā put a camera in a cage but yeah okay and thisĀ says keep fighting I donāt know I donāt want toĀ Ā
Say anti-government restaurant but it feels thatĀ way okay so weāve now came up to the top here theĀ Ā top view and as you can see behind us weā got theĀ bridge as well so thereās a whole heap of littleĀ Ā
Coffee shops and everything up here where youĀ can sit and just chill but yeah right now I thinkĀ Ā weāre walking just along here along this uh sortĀ of Cliff side to another part of uh of the city
Yeah such a cool building wow I just want to beĀ a Spider-Man and like you know like do this andĀ Ā that and fly around every building you want toĀ be Spider-Man and fly around the city yes okayĀ Ā
Letās do it letās do it well youāre a Spider-ManĀ oh yeah Iām a Spider-Man everyone says that I lookĀ Ā like Andrew everyone says that I look like AndrewĀ Garfield in the comments let me know if you think [Music] so
Okay so weāre now at the Chongqing Grand TheaterĀ weāre actually not going in but this building isĀ Ā absolutely massive and the design of this is likeĀ insane so cool so yeah this is the other side ofĀ Ā
The river now and as you can see this is whereĀ we were up this morning doing the Skywalk soĀ Ā weāve almost done a full 360 of the entire cityĀ which is pretty cool youāll see once this cityĀ Ā
Here lights up you know this will just like thatĀ and uh yeah it it will just light up and youāllĀ Ā think that youāre somewhere in Tokyo or somethingĀ like that but no this is China not Japan also hereĀ Ā
In China they have these drink vending machinesĀ like in Japan which is pretty cool so they haveĀ Ā all cold ones and then you can also some vendingĀ machines have hot ones as well so you could get aĀ Ā
Hot coffee as well so pretty cool Okay so weāveĀ now found this secret little passageway to goĀ Ā down here on the river to get a whole view of aĀ local view of the lights when it lights up so yeahĀ Ā
Letās go down this little walkway here I thinkĀ thereās people maybe fishing down here also letās [Music] see oh so you can see these bigĀ chains here thatās for the boats whenĀ Ā they dock how cool is that Iāve neverĀ seen chains this big before wow so IĀ Ā
Think weāll just sit down here thereāsĀ a few people sitting down here as wellĀ Ā look at the bridge light up and yeah justĀ enjoy the view should be pretty [Music] cool so as you can see here behind meĀ thereās a whole heap of people sittingĀ Ā
Out here and theyāll sit on these chairsĀ and watch all of this ligh up so right nowĀ Ā what weāre going to do is weāre going to goĀ and get a hot pot which is uh quite a famousĀ Ā
Thing here in Chongqing so you cook your ownĀ vegetables and meat uh in like a massive HotĀ Ā Pot uh like hot boiling water which shouldĀ be cool Iāve only ever done that once beforeĀ Ā but Iāve never done it in China nor likeĀ in Chinese style so that should be really
Good so yeah we just got in the taxi andĀ we said take us to the best hot pot placeĀ Ā and heās dropped us here on the side of theĀ road and I believe the HP pop place is downĀ Ā here somewhere so yeah should be good IāmĀ excited are you excited yeah yeah shouldĀ Ā
Be good so these are the old houses hereĀ along the river and in one of these housesĀ Ā is where our hot pot is so yeah letāsĀ go and find that Iām really really KeenĀ Ā to try Chinese hot pot Iām so excited itĀ should be good I think weāll even be ableĀ Ā
To eat outside tonight it is like a little bitĀ cold but not too cold so I think it should be good [Music] Okay so weāve just came to the hotĀ pop place this is our menu here itās all inĀ Ā
Chinese but uh weāll figure it out so uh theseĀ people here behind us you can see this is whatĀ Ā the Hot Pot looks like so thereās a big sortĀ of stove in the middle and you can cook allĀ Ā

Why go to China when you can go to a good and beautiful country like Japan.
OMG itās so scaryš±but I just have tons and tons of respect for those who help to build and also those workers who help with maintenance, windows cleaning etc!
Sophia es impresionantemente bonita, ella se parece mucho a algunas mujeres hispanoamericanas como por ejemplo a una de las integrantes del dĆŗo musical llamado Ā«Dueto Dos RosasĀ».
