Video shows a believer falls unconscious after being violently attacked.
Zhejiang Province authorities demolished a temple in Ningbo city in late August, violently beating protesting believers.
Officials in China’s eastern province of Zhejiang had been trying to demolish a Buddhist temple in Ningbo city since 2016. They wanted to expand a hydroelectric power station nearby, and the temple’s land was needed for this purpose.
However, the believers were strictly opposed to the idea and would not let the authorities destroy their temple. But on August 24 this year, local police officers showed up at the temple with nearly 40 hired hands, seeking to demolish the temple.
When they began to remove the Buddha statues, one believer tried to ask the police officers about the legality of their actions. Instead, he was surrounded by six officers and later, pinned to the ground.
Another believer tried to block the officers too but was similarly handled, her arms twisted behind her back. She felt suffocated and soon lost her consciousness. She had to be taken to a hospital to help her recuperate.
While the demolition work was called off that day, the local government officials returned to the site four days later. This time, they had mobilized over 100 people. Police guards were also posted at intersections leading to the temple, in order to stop the believers from reaching the site. The statues were soon removed and the temple razed to the ground.

Multi-Regional CHINESE FOOD TOUR at Night - Cantonese, Shanxi, Sichuan & Ningbo | Shanghai, China
When I traveled to China for the second time in four years in April of 2019, all of the memories I made with my dad during our 2015 trip to the country came rushing back to me. The sights, the smells, and definitely the flavors. Together, those three, along with the rich history and culture, make China a must-visit destination for all travelers. I’m so excited to share my Chinese adventures with you!

After roughly 24 full hours in Shanghai, my first full day in the city continued into the night with an incredible multi-regional Chinese food tour with my new friend Li from UnTour Food Tours. They do really intimate tours in Shanghai and Beijing, so check them out when you visit!
We started with a Chinese version of a pulled pork sandwich. It’s made with a crispy bread and pork belly, pork fat, and pork skin. It was like a pork bun in sandwich form. It was sweet and savory and both crispy and soft. I loved the five layers and how juicy and tender it was! There are also lamb and beef versions!
Then we headed to a Hong Kong-style café. It’s Cantonese food, which is very different from Mandarin. This place had lots of neon lights and had a diner-like feel. The food has a British feel to it because Hong Kong was ruled by the British.
We started with some locally-brewed rice wine and a draft beer. We also got a pineapple bun with no pineapple, beef rice noodles, roasted pork and duck, and yellow mustard and plum sauce. The rice wine was like a plum-like sake!
The pork belly with yellow mustard was fatty, crispy, and juicy. The duck had nice skin and a great glaze. It was also super fatty and tender! I loved the beef noodles with sprouts and onions, which had a nice sauce. Next was the pineapple bread, which didn’t contain pineapple, but had butter in it. It was sweet with a layer of sugar on top and there was a nice layer of butter in the middle!
After a few more glasses of rice wine, we headed out and grabbed some Ningbo food. We got some Chinese moonshine, called sunshine! It was called the “Strong Aroma.” It definitely had a strong smell. It was super strong, but I wanted more!
Next was the Tsingtao white beer, which I liked it a lot. It almost tasted like bubblegum!
Then we got two dishes: a crispy bamboo that was moist in the center, and fish with seaweed. I loved the seaweed. It was crispy and salty and melted in my mouth. You need to chew it well so you don’t get any bones stuck in your throat!
Next was sticky rice cake with a type of vegetable and bamboo shoots. I’d never had it before, but it was a nice mixture! Then was more super strong alcohol before we headed back out!
Next was a Sichuan spot. I could smell the pepper before I got there. We started with the rabbit head. You have to pull the jaws apart. It still contains the eyes and the brains!
You wear gloves to eat it. I broke the jaw and went with the tongue first. It was crunchy and a little spicy. Then I went for the cheeks. It was so good! It numbs your lips and tongue. The eyes were an explosion of flavor. It was almost like eating wings. This was real spice!
Beer was next, followed by Sichuan wontons and dry noodle with peanuts, pickled vegetables, and minced pork. The wontons contained some spice but wasn’t too spicy. I could feel the heat on my lips and reminded me of the dry ramen I’d had in Japan.
Then was green powder, which is a spice that’s found in Sichuan food. It’s fragrant, and then you take a pinch and put it in your mouth. It’s called the numbing spice. It made my tongue and lips go numb!
Finally, we went to a Shanxi-style diner. We got Chinese asparagus lettuce, which is crunchy and refreshing. Then was the xiaolongbao, a type of soup dumpling. There’s hot soup inside. Li taught me how to eat it without burning my mouth. I slurped the soup and dipped it in the vinegar. It was fantastic! I finished up with the butter fried pastry, which was sweet and crispy and very buttery!
What a diverse food tour! I hope you enjoyed coming along on my multi-regional UnTour Food Tour in Shanghai! If you did, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment below. Subscribe to my channel!

Multi-Regional CHINESE FOOD TOUR at Night - Cantonese, Shanxi, Sichuan & Ningbo | Shanghai, China
Wild SHANGHAI STREET FOOD in City God Temple + Yu Gardens Tour | Shanghai, China
In April of 2019, I had the pleasure of visiting China for the second time in my life. I spent 12 days exploring and eating my way through the cities of Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. I had the time of my life and I can’t wait to share my adventures with you!
Newman Tours:
My second full day in China continued in Shanghai when I met up with my friend Daniel from Newman Tours. They offer incredible tours in cities all over China. We started our adventure in the Old Town of Shanghai at the beautiful Yu Gardens.
Our journey began at a replica of one of the four original entrances of the old town. We saw a statue of a mythological creature with a very interesting backstory outside of a jewelry store.
Our first stop was a place selling deep-fried local crabs. There are salty and spicy varieties. I went with the spicy one and dug into the meat in the middle. It was really nice and crispy. They were so meaty and delicious. I could eat everything on it, but the middle had so much meat in it!
Then we headed off to try the original xiaolongbao from 1900. To get there, we had to pass through a temple and marketplace area. We passed lots of street food vendors along the way. These xiaolongbao contain crab and pork. They’re much bigger than the regular xiaolongbao. You have to pop them with a straw to drink the soup before you eat them!
The soup inside was so hot. There was a lot of it inside! Then I grabbed my chopsticks and dove in. They’re huge and much thicker than the other xiaolongbaos I’d had, but it was so delicious!
We continued on to Yu Market, which has been around since the 16th century, and Yu Garden. It’s very clean and feels like an open-air mall. The temple architecture is stunning and there are so many things to see!
We headed on to a restaurant that sells over 100 dishes, including sweet and sour soups, dumplings, sticky rice, snails, pot stickers, eel, squid, and much more!
I went with some glutinous sticky rice balls with red bean paste inside. It was too hot and was super sticky and kind of slimy on the outside. I loved the red bean paste inside. Daniel brought me some coconut juice from Hainan Island near Vietnam. The juice was delicious and refreshing. It was straight coconut juice!
Then we crossed the zigzag bridge, which zigs and zags to lost ghosts, which were traditionally thought to only be able to travel in a straight line. I love learning about history. Ahead of us was a tea house.
There was a statue of the goddess of the lotuses. You make a wish and try to toss your coin onto the lotus pad she stands on. If I get it, I get two wishes. I got one inside and wished for a million subscribers!
Next, we went into Yu Garden, which was beautiful and dates back to the Ming Dynasty. It’s thought this temple was built using stolen money from taxpayers! There’s also an ancient rockery or rock garden, which is quite beautiful! I learned so much from Daniel!
There are lots of doorways in the garden. We reached an area where the path forked; long ago, one path was taken by the men and the other by the concubines! Newman Tours provides an audio guide for Yu Gardens that really helps you out!
Coming here is like taking a trip back in time. It’s one of the few areas where you can see things that were built in the 16th century. There was a gorgeous gate with two huge dragons with three fingers. From there, we fed the fish. There are lots of carp there and they’re really big!
We also saw a large rock that was meant to be a gift to for the emperor, but it fell into the river after it was placed on a boat to be transported to the capital. It was fished out hundreds of years later and moved to the garden.
To wrap up, Daniel gave me the opportunity to see my future by using some ancient Chinese fortune sticks. You shake the container containing the sticks until one comes out. On the stick is a fortune that corresponds with one in a booklet. You only want one; if two come out, it means the gods are laughing at you!
I made a different wish and shook out the number 9. It told me to be honest, straight, and true if I win success in life, otherwise I would fail!
I hope you enjoyed my wild Shanghai food tour and Yu Gardens visit! If you did, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also, please subscribe to my channel!

putua temples
Putuo Shan and its temples are sacred to the Bodhisattva
Avalokitesvara, a goddess of compassion. Legends tell that
Avalokitesvara attained supreme enlightenment upon the island and
that Sudhana, another Bodhisattva, came to Putuo Shan to pay homage to
Avalokitesvara. Mount Putuo first became a Buddhist Sanctuary during the
Tang Dynasty. Legends tell of an Indian Monk, arriving late in the 9th century,
who had received instruction and a seven‐hued precious stone from the
Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. In 916, the Japanese monk Huie was stranded at
Mount Putuo while bringing a statue of Avalokitesvara from Mount Wutai to
Japan. He prayed to the Goddess for help and his call was answered. In
gratitude he built at temple upon Mount Putuo to enshrine the statue of the
Goddess he had been carrying. This is the so‐called Bukenqu (Reluctant to Go)
temple in Mount Putuo. Hsuan Tsang, the celebrated monk of the Tang
Dynasty is also known to have visited Putuo Shan on his pilgrimage to India.

Hangzhou Bay Bridge in China
Hangzhou Bay Bridge is a long highway bridge with a cable-stayed portion across Hangzhou Bay in the eastern coastal region of China. It connects the municipalities of Jiaxing and Ningbo in Zhejiang province. At 35.673 km (22 mi) in length, Hangzhou Bay Bridge is one of the longest trans-oceanic bridges in the world. Construction of the bridge was completed on June 14, 2007. The bridge was not opened to public use until May 1, 2008, after a considerable period of testing and evaluation. The bridge shortened the highway travel distance between Ningbo and Shanghai from 400 km (249 mi) to 280 km (174 mi) and reduced travel time from 4 to 2.5 hours.
The Hangzhou Bay Bridge is of the cable stayed bridge form. This form was chosen for this project because of the strength of the cable stayed bridge in adverse conditions. The bridge is being constructed in the delta of the Yangtze River Delta which experiences some of the highest tidal forces on the planet[4]. The location of the bridge is also prone to earthquakes as well as extremely high winds during typhoon season.

Chinese STREET FOOD Breakfast Tour of Huanghe Road - Buns, Dumplings & Jiangbing | Shanghai, China
In April of 2019, I had the pleasure of taking my second trip to China. For ten incredible days, I explored the wonderful world of Chinese culture, history, and cuisine in the cities of Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. It was such an amazing trip and I’m so excited to finally start dropping this series!
My first full day in Shanghai began bright and early in the morning with a street food breakfast tour of Huanghe Road, the main street food road in the city. It’s centrally located and is just two blocks from my Airbnb! I love Chinese food so much and had an amazing time exploring this city with my dad back in 2015. Now I was doing it solo! Come along with me as I eat some yummy Chinese street food!
The laws in China have changed since my last visit; street food isn’t really allowed anymore due to sanitation concerns. So instead, you get the “street food” from hole-in-the-wall spots along the road. There are so many places to get delicious food and pedestrians eating as they go. I even got some advice on where to get a good bun from a passerby!
I bought a bun at a spot with about 20 different varieties, set up my camera on a scooter, and dug in. It was a soft and juicy pork bun. There was a delicious, sweet and spicy sauce inside. It only cost me two Yuan (about $0.29 U.S.) and was super filling! It was so good that I went for another bun. This one was more of a dumpling and contained sticky brown rice and herbs. It was so different and was very different. It also wasn’t spicy!
I kept my eyes peeled for the Chinese pancake dish I loved on my first trip as I continued on. I found them just barely off the street in another small restaurant. The dish is called jianbing and is a savory crepe with eggs, crackers, pickled vegetables, and hoisin sauce. They’re only available until 11 a.m. I love this dish so much. I had it every day when I cam here with my father.
It was spicy and sweet, with a runny egg running through it. The scallions were amazing and I loved the crunch. It was almost like a Chinese dosa! This might be my favorite pancake or crepe dish of all-time! It was so filling!
Right across the street is a spot making scallion pancakes. Even though I was getting full, I had to try this. They also make chive egg pancakes and leek egg pancakes here. I watched them pan-fry the pancakes and then bake them afterward. My scallion pancake was super crispy. It was an overload of scallions! The dough was crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. It was so freaking delicious!
I went on the hunt for some soup next. I wanted something different from all the carbs I’d had already. I had to look for it, but it was difficult because you need someone who speaks Mandarin with you, otherwise it’s easy to get lost in Shanghai.
I found the spot I was looking for and ordered 12 shrimp and pork dumplings. It cost me 28 Yuan, or a little over $4 U.S., plus another 8 Yuan for some seaweed and egg drop soup. You eat the two together!
The soup came super hot and steamy. I loved the aroma. The seaweed was crunchy and thick. It had a briny taste like the ocean. I added some chili for some spice. I got the 5 out of 10 in terms of spice level. Then I dipped my shrimp dumpling in the soup. It was so hot, so I had to wait!
I dipped the dumpling in some soy sauce with chili flakes. The dumplings are soupy inside and so good! The pork dumpling was good, but I preferred the shrimp! The soup was perfect for this chilly day.
I was so full, so I took a break from eating and headed over to Nanjing Road. Lots of people were out and about and there aren’t many cars. I recommend people stay around People’s Square in Shanghai. It’s centrally located and is so close to street food, which costs much less than the food you’d get at a hotel!
Nanjing Road is the principal shopping and food street here. There are lots of eateries and stores like Adidas, Tiffany, Pandora, and more. I visited the Avengers: Endgame display again with the faces made of Legos and the Thanos statue.
I found traditional Chinese outfits for each of my daughters for 89 Yuan each, or about $13 U.S.
What an amazing morning! If you loved this video, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also, please subscribe to my channel!
