Up oh my gosh are you scared Iā€™m scaredĀ  now that we got a walk on the edge coming Back [Music] okay so now weā€™ve got to the veryĀ  end here I thought the end was over there but itā€™sĀ Ā  actually here and as you can see everyone is onĀ  the edge now this is more exciting right are youĀ Ā 

Ready all right letā€™s go all right letā€™s do thisĀ  oh my gosh oh my gosh oh gosh you have to lookĀ Ā  where youā€™re going this is like scary scary oh myĀ  my goodness okay here comes Sophia this is scaryĀ Ā

Sophia weā€™re going to today as well so see thatĀ  theater down there this big building here weā€™reĀ Ā  going there tonight wow it feels like this cityĀ  sort of feels a little bit like in New York butĀ Ā 

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 letā€™s 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 itā€™sĀ Ā  so beautiful and like itā€™s so weird rightĀ  you got all these skyscrapers but here youĀ Ā  got all these Old Town buildings itā€™sĀ  such an irony isnā€™t it and one thingĀ Ā 

I really like about this spot is thereā€™sĀ  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 doesnā€™t get used because thereā€™s so muchĀ  infrastructure itā€™s crazy I feel like that thereĀ Ā  needs to be another 30 million people added toĀ  this city even know itā€™s a city of 34 millionĀ Ā 

I believe okay so right now weā€™re going into MenaĀ  coffee which I believe is a popular coffee chainĀ Ā  here in China so letā€™s go in and check it out soĀ  weā€™re just sitting in the coffee shop Iā€™m 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 weā€™re doing isĀ  weā€™re going down to the river here weā€™re 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 itā€™sĀ  now4 2 5 so weā€™re just making our way there soĀ Ā 

Yeah letā€™s 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 thereā€™s 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 

Iā€™ve seen in Chongqing today but I may have notĀ  been looking properly but thatā€™s really cool toĀ Ā  see so yeah so right now weā€™ve 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 Iā€™m really reallyĀ  excited for this I havenā€™t been on a ferry inĀ Ā 

A while too and Sophia youā€™ve only ever beenĀ  on one right when I donā€™t 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 itā€™sĀ Ā 

Almost 5 so we got to keep going okay here we goĀ  walking on now this is so cool theyā€™ve got theseĀ Ā  little like barges here that like put you ontoĀ  the ferry cuz the ferry is so big so itā€™s sortĀ Ā 

Of hard to get off on the side here okay cool soĀ  weā€™re now up on the ferry we just made it in timeĀ Ā  and uh yeah weā€™re going to be going across thereĀ  China we love China I think right now weā€™re goingĀ Ā 

Somewhere over there so that should be good andĀ  this is the area weā€™re actually staying actuallyĀ Ā  I know that Iā€™ve said this a million timesĀ  already but itā€™s so sad The Bleak sky todayĀ Ā  such a bummer but um a lot of the Drone footageĀ  Iā€™ll show today is like really really clear andĀ Ā 

Nice Skies so you can actually see what itā€™sĀ  normally like but today weā€™ve just been reallyĀ Ā  unlucky with that so you can see this boat justĀ  here it sort of looks like that thereā€™s threeĀ Ā 

Houses just put on top itā€™s like a house boat aĀ  massive fairy house boat okay right on 5:00 weā€™reĀ 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  youā€™re getting itā€™s 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 itā€™s 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 itā€™s winter you know it still looksĀ  good but not as good as what it could [Music] be

Okay so weā€™re now off the ferry we actuallyĀ  had to get off a stop earlier uh because itā€™sĀ 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 todayā€™s 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 thatā€™sĀ Ā  one thing that Iā€™ve 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 weā€™re 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 letā€™s go so another thing I want toĀ Ā  mention as well is thereā€™s a lot of Tourism hereĀ  in Chongqing now itā€™s not tourism like myself orĀ Ā  or Sophia itā€™s 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 theyā€™re from different partsĀ  of China experiencing Chongqing so itā€™s sort ofĀ Ā 

Like a local [Music] tourism I donā€™t 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 donā€™t know I donā€™t want toĀ Ā 

Say anti-government restaurant but it feels thatĀ  way okay so weā€™ve 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 thereā€™s 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  weā€™re 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 

Letā€™s do it letā€™s do it well youā€™re a Spider-ManĀ  oh yeah Iā€™m 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 weā€™re now at the Chongqing Grand TheaterĀ  weā€™re 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  weā€™ve almost done a full 360 of the entire cityĀ  which is pretty cool youā€™ll 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 youā€™llĀ Ā  think that youā€™re 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 weā€™veĀ  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 

Letā€™s go down this little walkway here I thinkĀ  thereā€™s people maybe fishing down here also letā€™s [Music] see oh so you can see these bigĀ  chains here thatā€™s for the boats whenĀ Ā  they dock how cool is that Iā€™ve neverĀ  seen chains this big before wow so IĀ Ā 

Think weā€™ll just sit down here thereā€™sĀ  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  thereā€™s a whole heap of people sittingĀ Ā 

Out here and theyā€™ll sit on these chairsĀ  and watch all of this ligh up so right nowĀ Ā  what weā€™re going to do is weā€™re 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 Iā€™ve only ever done that once beforeĀ Ā  but Iā€™ve 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 heā€™s 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 Iā€™mĀ  excited are you excited yeah yeah shouldĀ Ā
