Travelling Jinan, China: (You Must Come Here!) 🇨🇳

Travelling Jinan, China: (You Must Come Here!) 🇨🇳

Hello YouTube from the beautiful city of Jinan. So right now I have swapped 
positions from blogger to chef. Good morning. Okay. So where 
are we? Back to spring. This is where all the koiish 
are. And there is the spring eye. Not bad. Very good. Thank you. Give me five. Okay. 
So, we are now dressed in our honu. I feel like a princess. In this bamboo forest, people have 
engraved their Chinese names. Welcome to Jaming Lake. Wow. So scenic here. You can say here. Here 
is the church with the Chinese flag next to it. Okay guys, so we just came to this really cool 
monument here. As you can see, everyone is taking photos and uh it’s very very busy. Niha YouTube or 
get and good evening guys from the beautiful city of Gan. This is our first time in Gan City and 
we and it’s raining. We thought we’d start it off at nighttime here at the front of this beautiful 
traditional Shen Dong cuisine. We’re in Shangong province and we’re going to try out this very 
famous restaurant here cooked by master chefs to perfection and we’ll start you off tomorrow on 
a fresh day. But we just thought we’d come here for dinner and show you guys. Let’s go in and 
let’s eat some amazing Chinese food. Let’s go. Okay, so we just came into this restaurant. Nice 
place. We’ve just been given this like I don’t know. I think it’s ice cream, guys, or some 
type of like dairy food as a starter. You can tell that we’re in a fancy restaurant when they 
give you something that I’ve never seen before. Oh, it’s just like yogurt. It’s 
just like a really good yogurt. Okay guys, so we’ve got exclusive access into the 
restaurant. I was just talking to the owner and he let us in. You can see here, this is where they 
prepare all of the crispy ducks. Now, in here, this is almost like a fire pizza oven except 
for roasted duck. So, you see here how he’s moving the roasted ducks around in the fire 
that you’ve got the oil absolutely dripping there. And then here is the finished product. You 
can see the crispy skin on that. Looks so good. I’ve always seen wooden pizza cooked before, but 
when you see something like this, this is amazing. Okay, so here come all of the dishes that we 
are getting ready to try. I’m keen for the duck, for the kidney, and for the carfish. 
They’re the main three that I’m keen for. Okay guys, so right now I have swapped positions 
from blogger to chef and uh I’m about to attempt to cut at least one piece successfully from this 
crispy duck right here. So let’s give this a try. This knife is super sharp, guys. And I have 
to be very careful as I’m doing this. And I’m probably not doing the best job. Now, the chef 
here next to me, a really amazing guy. It took him 3 months to learn how to do this. Now, 
each piece is actually cut up to 104 times, which is just insane. When I feel this here, the 
duck is so crispy and tender and oily and juicy. I cannot wait to taste it. Okay, so we’re about 
to try our crispy duck here on our little biscuit with sugar. Uh, cheers. Cheers. So, I’ve still got 
my my chef’s hat on, by the way, but let’s try. M. Oh my gosh. Wow. The crispiness of that 
biscuit then with the crispiness of the duck combined with the sugar and the juiciness as well. 
Yeah. Just like explosion in your mouth. Wow. Okay, guys. So good. So, we have the beautiful 
uh rice bread here wrapped inside the crispy duck with all of our vegetables with the soy 
sauce. And from what I’ve been told, essentially, you just try and put it all into your mouth at 
once. But I don’t think that this will fit. So, let me bite. Let me bite half of it. And uh 
let’s taste. Ready? Cheers. Cheers. M. Wow, that was better than the previous one. 
Oh my gosh. 10 out of 10. So good. Okay, guys. So, next up we have the kidney. I 
don’t know how excited I am to try this. And look at the texture. It does look good. So much 
hard work in it. That’s true. But it is a kidney after all. But let’s see. Let’s see. Wow. It just 
tastes like meat. It’s cooked that good, guys, that the flavor is so lovely. I’ve had kidney 
before in Australia and it wasn’t that nice, but they’ve cooked this really well. I’d say 
like a solid 8 out of 10. That was pretty good. Good morning. Good morning, guys, and 
welcome back to another beautiful Well, today’s a blue sky day here in G9. And we’re 
outside the spurtting uh spring. Yeah. So, this water inside this area here is meant to be 
so beautiful and fresh water. The BU springs. I think I’m saying that right. Yeah. Let’s go in 
and let’s explore the BU springs. Let’s go. So, here we go. We’ve got the BU spring scenic area. 
The ticket price is 40 and for students is 20. So, and it opens at 7:00. I read online that it 
gets very busy here. So that’s why we’ve came early this morning at 8:30. But I think there’s 
already going to be a few more people in here. Okay. So where are we? Batu Springs. We’re at 
the Batu Springs, guys. Look at this. It is so beautiful. We’ve got the beautiful willow 
tree here. You know, when I was in Australia, I used to grab onto these willow trees like a vine 
and swing. It must be really light then. Well, when I was a kid, I think it would hold me. But 
if I tried now, I think it definitely bright. This looks so beautiful, right? But maybe at 
night, it looks creepy cuz it’s like this. Yeah, it looks a bit I think it’ look a bit creepy 
at night, the willow trees. But during the day, it’s nice. So guys, you can see here this is the 
spring water and there’s over 1,000 springs here in Jan, which is absolutely crazy. Right. 
And I’ve heard that that black fish right there. Yeah. Like Chinese people pray 
or like um wish for good fortune. Oh, really? To that fish. Like when they’re 
doing university or something. Ah, okay. For good luck. For good luck. I think those 
koiish are are for good luck. Now, apparently, so I’ve seen from my research, you can actually 
drink this water, guys. Um, but there’s a whole heap of different springs here. So, this is the 
first one we’ve seen. And I think there’s a few dotted around everywhere. So, let’s go and 
explore. Let’s go. Let’s go. Come with us. So you can see here guys, this is where all 
the koiish are. And it looks so clear. You can even see some money down at the bottom. 
And people throw that in to make their wish uh for their university and 
stuff. If I was a koiish, I’d be super happy being in 
this uh fresh pond right here. That there is the spring eye. Yeah. So guys, 
guess in 3 seconds. Is this a machine or is this natural? 1 2 3. Believe it or not, 
these three fountains right here is a natural spring coming up from the ground. How 
insane is that, guys? So cool. So magical. I’ve never seen a spring like this before. We’ve 
been to hot springs. A machine. Same. Yeah, we’ve been to hot springs, but we’ve never been 
to a cold spring like this. No wonder the fish in here. They just adore it. Such amazing filtered 
water. So, for those of you wondering, Jack, where does all the water go if it keeps coming 
up? Well, it actually then gets transferred down a little river and into a lake nearby. So, as you 
can see, it’s actually quite busy, right? But, uh, we need to find where we can actually go 
and drink the water. I’d love to try. Yeah. So, there’s a lot of people, but let’s let’s see 
if we can find where to where to go drink it. So, as you can see, guys, this is one of the 
other springs, and it’s even giving off that blue tinge. Probably because of the sky. 
The water usually reflects the sky color. You can see that a lot of people You didn’t know 
that? Yeah. I think that’s how they pray to it, right? Yeah. So if they land the coin on 
the rock, I believe it’s a superstition, then the wish will come through. As you can see, 
most of the coins aren’t in the actual lake, rather on the rock. So quite interesting, 
right? Look at the bubbles coming out. Yeah. I think that’s a mix of water and oxygen coming 
out from the earth. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Could you imagine when like people thousands of years 
ago found this natural water spring? They would have just been like in awe. Oh, like is this 
heaven? Yeah, cuz they’ve got fresh drinking water and to be able to cook with as well. Oh, 
that’s a fish. That’s a fish’s bubbles. Is a fish’s bubbles. I thought that was the spring 
coming up, guys. Some kind of science. Yeah, you can see guys, it’s getting more and 
more busy. I’m so glad we came here early. Okay, guys. So, we are now in the temple of the 
Shun Leader. And you might be thinking, Jack, what does this have to do with spring water? Well, 
4,000 years ago, the uh the leader here actually named the the spring water after his two wives. 
He actually had two wives. And uh from there, uh he was actually quite known as uh this is where 
it gets quite interesting. He was actually one of the leaders that actually used to plow the fields, 
right? So he used to work in the fields and then he became a leader. So you don’t know many leaders 
that do hard labor like that and then go into that. So quite interesting although he did have 
two wives which is quite quite strange guys. Uh but yeah there you go. So they have this temple 
sort of dedicated to him and the names of the uh springs. So quite quite interesting. So you 
might also be wondering Jack how are you getting data? What’s the best way to get a SIM card? Well 
that’s where Nomad ESIM comes in. So, if you’ve been watching my videos for a while, you’ll know 
that Nomad has been a part of my travels for years now. I use them in every country that I go. You 
might be thinking, Jack, what is an eim? Well, let me break it down. Essentially, an eim is a app 
on your phone that creates a digital SIM card. So, all you have to do is install the Nomad app 
on your phone, click what country you want, and buy a package. I went onto the Nomad app and 
chose the package that I wanted and bam, as soon as I touched down, I had data just like that. 
So, no more lining up in long cues at the airport waiting for your physical SIM card. Personally, I 
find that having an ESIM is a great thing to have. being able to have data when you’re seeing the 
immigration officer and having to show your hotel booking, or even when you’re just traveling around 
and needing Google Maps, posting Instagram photos, and I can even hotspot my phone to upload YouTube 
videos as well. If you use my code Jack 92CB, you will get a bit of a discount on your first 
purchase of an eim. So, if you’re interested in getting an ESIM on your next trip, then click my 
link below in the description box and get started by downloading the Nomad app today. Sophia 
loves the Sophia loves the Koish. Don’t you, Sophia? It’s really nice, guys. We found it. We 
found the drinking water here. I hope we don’t turn into a frog once we eat it. To turn into a 
frog. Why? Because they say that you turn into a frog. There’s a frog right here. The water. So 
apparently this water is 25 times cleaner than the water coming from the city. So yeah, let’s 
taste this. I’ll put you guys down just here and let’s taste. Okay. All right. You want to come 
down with me? All right. I’ll taste first. Ready? Not bad. It tastes like normal 
water. It has that rivery taste, but it still tastes good. Yeah. You want to try? It’s good. Yeah, it’s good. We’ve actually 
got a bit of a crowd now. Very good. Give me five. Is that great? Great. Great. 
Great. Great. Great. Handsome. You’re very handsome. You are handsome. You are great. You are 
handsome. High five. Give me five. Give me five, guys. The water here is so fresh. This kid 
literally just filled it up from the stream. I think he’s going to drink it. You know, like 
the water that we drank. Maybe it has a filter on it. I Maybe not. But the kid literally 
filled it up just here. That’s That’s crazy. Okay, guys. So, we are doing what it looks like 
we’re doing. Honu again. Again. Are you excited? Oh, super excited. So, I’m already dressed, guys. 
For the mail, it’s pretty easy. We just put on a nice black one. Looks pretty good, I have to 
say. Sophia is doing her hair and makeup now. I’m going to walk around here and uh enjoy it. But 
yeah. Okay, so we are now dressed in our Hanu, and I have to say, Sophia, you look so beautiful. 
Thank you. I feel like a princess. Give us a twirl. Wow. Oh, my princess. The ladies were 
saying when they were doing the makeup like, “Oh my gosh, your hair is so long. You could 
sell it, right?” Yeah. And they they offered me 3,000 R&B. Wo, that’s a lot of money. 
Yeah. Wow. Are you going to sell it? No. It just feels so good to just come into a new 
country, like a new city, and then experience their culture, wear their traditional clothes, 
and just walk around like you were part of it. This place is super beautiful, right? There’s 
amazing little courtyard here. People chilling. It’s huge. It’s really big. We’ve been walking 
for half an hour already just exploring. So big and wonderful. So now we’re going to go to a 
tea house where we’ll drink some lovely tea. So come with us. We’ve got a very lovely uh 
pot of tea here. And let’s try this tea. And we’ve also got some beautiful cakes that we’ve 
ordered as well. They’re sort of like cookies. And as you can see, they’re actually made 
out of the different uh landmarks here. So, let’s give this a taste. Cheers. M. Pretty 
good. Pretty sweet. A little bit gooey inside. Oh, that’s nice. That’s nice. Yeah. Pretty good. 
So, we’re just in this lovely little restaurant here by the spring, as you can see. Really 
beautiful. Welcome to Ding. Darmming deep. Darming Lake. We are now at Darmming Lake and we’re going 
to get on a boat and explore this lake here. So, fun fact, the spring that we were just at, the 
water actually flows into this lake and then eventually it goes down one of the main rivers 
and there’s a boat and then we are going to uh do boating. Yeah. So, we’re going to do boating. 
Let’s go. Let’s go. You can see here, guys, that these guys are actually in charge of cleaning 
the river, which is something you don’t see every day. So, these guys are picking up all of the 
rubbish and putting it inside the boat, which is really good. Good work. Uh yeah, it’s it just 
shows that China just loves to keep their places clean. I I really like this. You’ll see this a 
lot in Japan as well, but uh really good. So, I just realized that everyone was staring at me 
and I thought maybe they’re just looking at me cuz I’m a foreigner. But then I realized what I was 
wearing. Okay, guys. As you can see, just in here, there’s a pink lotus flower. And this looks 
to be the last one. Because summer’s ended, all of the flowers have now died, but this 
looks like the last one left. So pretty. So beautiful. So yeah, we’re going to get on a 
boat similar to that one in just a sec. We’re just waiting for it to come. Guys, you can see 
this lady here wearing a different type of hanfu. Sort of looks a little bit like a jellyfish. 
Respectfully, of course. Quite interesting, right? Okay, so we’re now on the boat and 
we’re leaving. Bye-bye. Bye. Oh, bye-bye. Yeah. So, let’s enjoy this boat ride. Okay, guys. So, we’re finally moving and uh wow, 
it’s so scenic here. It’s really scenic. All of the willow trees and the water. So beautiful. The 
weather is perfect. The weather’s nice and people are out here for their afternoon walk as well. 
You can see all the lily pads have been uh put into this one area here and the rest of the lake 
is actually opened which is uh which is quite interesting. So all of the lily pads are sort 
of in that little fenced area and then there’s also some little traditional buildings over here 
as well and uh yeah sound of the water. Sound of the water. It’s really beautiful. Quite relaxing. 
What I love about is the wood doesn’t create a huge disturbing sound. Yeah. Most of them like 
it creates a sound. It’s Yeah. But this one’s like so nice. Yeah. It’s really nice and peaceful. 
Peaceful, quiet. And you can also see here, guys, uh is that there’s other uh boats and stuff 
out here. So, out here there’s a little swan boat where people are pedaling. And then out here, 
we’ve got a mini miniature island with the willow trees. And it looks to be like a little temple uh 
sort of building, traditional building out there. And then you’ve got other boats like ours as well. 
Yeah. And you can sort of see the the city as well. Like there’s uh one uh crane here doing some 
building. And then we’ve got our awesome driver here just making sure that we’re safe and uh and 
going along well. And you’ve got we’ve got the little lanterns here and stuff. I’m sure that this 
would look really beautiful at nighttime as well, guys. Super super lovely. Okay, so our time is 
almost up. We’re going back to the dock just here now. How’d you feel? Good. Actually, I feel a bit 
sleepy. You feel a bit sleepy? cuz I’m so relaxed. Yeah, it’s such a nice vibe, right? Okay, guys. 
So, we just got off the boat here now. I was just learning, I was just reading online that this 
lake actually used to be 10 times larger than what it currently is. And because of a series 
of droughts, the lake kept on shrinking and shrinking. And also, because they’ve reclaimed so 
much land here to do building, the lake is what it is today. So, it used to be 10 times this 
size. How crazy is that? Yeah. It’s insane, right? Yeah. So, this like used to be 10 
times as big, almost as big as the city. What happened? And then because of the drought, 
it got smaller and smaller. Oh, yeah. Anyway, let’s go to the shopping street. Famous Oldtown 
Street. Let’s go. Okay, so we are now at Chu Chun. We’re not very good at our pronunciation, 
guys, but we’re here at this old street here, and uh we’re right next to one of the uh pawns 
here. She just loves to buy things. Wow. Isn’t that nice? It’s so nice. Like if we hang this 
in our house. Okay. Maybe we’ll hang this in our house. See? So here, this is all the old town. So 
this was all the ancient town. This is the first street that was sort of here when when they were 
developing G9. Now there’s a few reasons for that. Number one, because the water source that we just 
saw was nearby. So they had a lot of drinking from the water source. And then also they had their 
homes nearby as well. So, this is why that it’s such a busy market here today and it carries a 
lot of history. Very good. Yeah. And we’ve got the cleaners out here as well making sure everything 
looks really nice. And then even here, like this water, guys, looks so clean as in you can see to 
the bottom. Maybe the bottom’s not so clean, but the water itself is pretty clean. So, um Yeah. And 
you’ve got the lovely willows and everything. So, it’s a really really nice local vibe. Yeah, 
I agree. Yeah. So, I think what we’ll do, we’ll look around here. We’ll explore. We might 
buy Sophia something because I know that she just wants to buy a little trinket or something. Don’t 
Well, only if I like it very much. Yeah. Okay. You can see here. Here is the church with the Chinese 
flag next to it, which is uh pretty interesting and pretty amazing. So, yeah. Unfortunately, 
the church isn’t open today, guys, but quite interesting to see that in China, right? Yeah. 
Hey, guys. Just now we’re buying a coconut. Wow, he’s really destroying this thing. And we just 
thought it’d be good to get a fresh coconut water, right? Yeah. Always choose coconut water. Water. 
Yeah. Over coke. Over coke or over a sugar filled drink. Wow. Shashir. There you go. You want 
to try? Wow. You’re thirsty. How is it? Oh, it’s so good. Yeah. Yeah. It’s sweet, actually. 
It’s sweet. Yeah. Can I try? No. Life is not the days we have lived but the days we remember. 
Yeah. Yeah. Like me. Yeah. Yeah. Uh aka me Sophia. So guys, this sign here actually says Gan for 
those of you who didn’t know. Ganushi. Ganushi. What’s gushi mean? Do you know? I guess gan 
happy, I’m guessing. I don’t know. Okay, guys. So, we just came here off the shopping 
street and I got this one. And Sophia got a little like hair hair pin hair pin to hold up 
her hair. And look, cuz dad broke my hair clip. Yeah, I didn’t. I was trying to give Sophia 
a piggy back and she squished it. Now it’s broken. Anyway, guys, look at this beautiful 
statue of this robotic lady wearing hanfu. So cool. How cool is that? Who is she? I don’t 
know. She She’s one of the relatives to one of the emperors or something like that. I’m not 
sure. She had affair with someone. I think had two wives or something. I’m not sure. But 
yeah, this is the robot that they’ve made. Still really cool technology. Yeah. So, you can 
see the flowers here, guys. It’s also litten up. And then we’ve got her blinking as well. China 
truly has some uh amazing technology and this is definitely one of them. Okay guys, so we just came 
to this really cool monument here. As you can see, everyone is taking photos and uh it’s very, 
very busy. Unfortunately, it’s closed now, so we can’t go inside. But uh yeah, thank 
you guys so much for watching today. We are. We really I’m trying to get the light. 
I’m trying to get the light right. Thank you guys so much for watching today and as always 
guys, keep it real. Cheers. Love you guys. Bye.
