Chinese Ideograms compared to Egyptian Hieroglyphs
A detailed linguistic discussion and comparison between two of the most ancient writing systems in the world.
Chinese is a group of related, but in many cases mutually unintelligible, language varieties. Chinese is spoken by the Han majority and many other ethnic groups in China. Nearly 1.2 billion people speak some form of Chinese as their first language.
The varieties of Chinese are usually described by native speakers as dialects of a single Chinese language, but linguists note that they are as diverse as a language family. The internal diversity of Chinese has been likened to that of the Romance languages. There are between 7 and 13 main regional groups of Chinese, of which the most spoken by far is Mandarin (about 960 million), followed by Wu, Min, and Yue. Most of these groups are mutually unintelligible, although some, for example like Xiang and certain Southwest Mandarin dialects, may share common terms and some degree of intelligibility. All varieties of Chinese are tonal and analytic.
Standard Chinese is a standardized form of spoken Chinese based on the Beijing dialect of Mandarin. It is the official language of China and Taiwan, as well as one of the four official languages of Singapore.
Of the other varieties of Chinese, Cantonese (the prestige variety of Yue) is the principal spoken language in Hong Kong and Macau, and it is the only other variety of Chinese used in government administration. It is also influential in Guangdong province and much of Guangxi.

The credits for the train and trike taxi footage go to Charlie Cooper. Check out his Shanghai based channel, it is really funny:
Although traffic is a nightmare here in China, the country does have the best public transportation system I have ever seen. You can literally get anywhere in this massive country with little to no hassle.
From coaches, to motorcycle taxis, to China's epic new high speed rail system, it's a joy to travel in this massively diverse nation.
China began building the high-speed railway system in earnest more than a decade ago. It now totals 19,000 kilometers, linking all cities which have a population greater than 500,000 people. The government aims to extend the system to 30,000 kilometers by 2020. Local politicians saw a winner and proposed to build their own high-speed branch lines to connect outlying cities.
However, rapid expansion has brought mounting debt at the railway department, raising concerns about its long-term health.
China Railway Corp., the national railway operator which was overhauled from the former Ministry of Railways, said in May its debt had exceeded four trillion yuan by the first quarter of this year, almost twice as much debt as the Greek government has. In 2015, the company paid about 78 billion yuan in interest expenses, though still notched a net profit for the year of 680 million yuan.
Vast spending on rail projects continues, ballooning from 155 billion yuan in 2006 to more than 800 billion yuan last year, government data show. The government has budgeted 800 billion yuan for railway construction this year.

SwissTravelChannel is a YouTube channel of my holiday’s trips videos, taken all around the world since 2008. Some are for pure tourism and others are more of an adventure. The videos usually show the top best tourist attractions, the top things to do and top places to see. The goal is to inspire others on their next vacations. The videos can also be seen as a guide to have an idea of the main highlights and places to explore. I love to take pictures of the nature, traditions and different cultures, to search the must-see spots and show the essentials in my videos, for this reason I always try to create the perfect vacation. Traveling is more than a hobby for me, is a way of life.

BEIJING (source Wikipedia):
Beijing (北京市), formerly romanized as Peking, is the capital of the People's Republic of China, the world's second most populous city proper, and most populous capital city. The city, located in northern China, is governed as a direct-controlled municipality under the national government with 16 urban, suburban, and rural districts. Beijing Municipality is surrounded by Hebei Province with the exception of neighboring Tianjin Municipality to the southeast; together the three divisions form the Jingjinji metropolitan region and the national capital region of China.
As a city combining both modern and traditional architecture, Beijing is a megacity rich in history, exemplified in its global influence in politics, economy, education, history, culture, and technology. Beijing is the second largest Chinese city by urban population after Shanghai and is the nation's political, cultural, and educational center. It is home to the headquarters of most of China's largest state-owned companies and is a major hub for the national highway, expressway, railway, and high-speed rail networks. The Beijing Capital International Airport has been the second busiest in the world by passenger traffic since 2010, and, as of 2016, the city's subway network is the busiest and second longest in the world, after Shanghai's subway system.
The city's history dates back three millennia. As the last of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China, Beijing has been the political center of the country for much of the past eight centuries. With mountains surrounding the inland city on three sides, in addition to the old inner and outer city walls, Beijing was strategically poised and developed to be the residence of the emperor and thus was the perfect location for the imperial capital. Beijing was the largest city in the world by population for much of the second millennium A.D. The city is renowned for its opulent palaces, temples, parks, gardens, tombs, walls and gates. Its art treasures and universities have made it center of culture and art in China. Encyclopædia Britannica notes that few cities in the world have served for so long as the political headquarters and cultural centre of an area as immense as China. Beijing has seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites – the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Ming Tombs, Zhoukoudian, as well as parts of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal, all popular locations for tourism. Siheyuans, the city's traditional housing style, and hutongs, the narrow alleys between siheyuans, are major tourist attractions and are common in urban Beijing. The city hosted the 2008 Summer Olympics and was chosen to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, making it the first city to ever host both Winter and Summer Olympics.
Many of Beijing's 91 universities consistently rank among the best in China, of which Peking University and Tsinghua University are ranked in the top 60 universities of the world.

Learning a new language can be hard. The reason why I make these videos about culture and traveling is because I believe it not only keeps me motivated, but maybe it can motivate others too! I feel so curious about other places in the world and it's so exciting to constantly learn new things; if you are here watching this video, you must be similar and I'm glad we ran into each other!

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!
Follow UnTour Food Tours on Instagram:
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!

How DIFFERENT Are Chinese People?

Everyone stereotypes Asian countries as homogenous, but is China really lacking in diversity? We have been all over the country, and it's very difficult to answer this question easily. China is full of minority regions, languages and food. Every province has it's own language, local cultures and special characteristics.
We delve into this difficult topic and talk about China and Chinese people objectively.
We answer all of these questions and more in this video.

PAUL HODGE: BEIJING SHOPPING MALL, SOLO AROUND WORLD IN 24 DAYS, Ch 77 of 95, Amazing World Minutes
Chapter 77 of 95, How to Go Solo Around the World in 24 Days, chronicles Paul Hodge's October 29, 2011 morning exploration of the huge, mostly underground, China World Mall with its diverse shops, including the first Starbucks store in China, a Wall Street English store, an Apple Knockoff venue and even an ice skating rink.
How to Go Solo Around the World in 24 Days is the first ever video book to instruct viewers as to how to go around the world solo. By providing the viewer with detailed videos and commentary of his recent 24 day World adventure, author Paul Hodge, who has twice adventured around our planet, shows what it realistically takes to plan and successfully execute this life changing bucket list achievement. Trailer:
On Nov 3, 2011, Paul returned from his 24 day solo adventure around our planet. The trip was fantastic because: Paul experienced a Kate Winslet walk-on, a live CNBC Michelle Caruso-Cabrera Athens news report, Athens and Madrid protests/riots, fire bombings, tear gassings, Beijing killer smog, a ride on one of the world's fastest trains, a Toyko/Fukishima Nuclear Alert, having his China videos used on international TV and a whole host of other World's wonders.
In addition to all the foregoing, Paul gathered critical research data for his upcoming book on societal stability and population aging cycles. Paul's Research blog of the trip can be seen at:
Paul's 24 day exploration around our planet was his second. His first was in 2008 for 7+ months, See Trailer:

Flying into Wuhan - FIRST IMPRESSIONS of CHINA!
My first impressions of China I had no idea what to expect - but Wuhan, China blew me away. It was one of the most romantic and diverse cities I've ever been to. Its stunning night show and amazing food culture are worth visiting thats for sure. How can a city with 11 million people be so unknown to the world? Especially when it has so much to offer!
I highly suggest everyone go experience Wuhan!
