If the Summer Palace had not been ruined by the western countries, we won't feel it's a pity to see the magnificent infrastructure in the world.
 
如果圆明园没有被西方国家毁掉，我们就不会觉得看到世界上宏伟的建筑是一种遗憾。

I visited the Forbidden City in the winter of 2009 and it was unforgettable!  As a Chinese/Taiwanese, visiting the place evoked deep emotions tied to the history and events I learned since I was young. The stories of each Emperor, his ministers, generals, queens, concubines, and all the other notable figures, as well as many lesser-known ciphers, made exploring the Forbidden City a profound experience as it triggered a nostalgic connection.  Watching this makes me want to revisit Beijing!   Thanks for the excellent content!
 
我曾在2009年冬天游览过故宫，那是一次难忘的经历！作为一个中国台湾人，参观故宫唤起了我对自幼学习的历史和事件的深厚感情。每个皇帝、他的大臣、将军、皇后、嫔妃和所有其他著名人物的故事以及许多鲜为人知的秘密，使故宫之行成为一次深刻的体验，因为它引发了我的怀旧情结。观看此片让我想重游北京！感谢您提供的精彩内容！

Come back, and bring your Taiwanese brothers and sisters. The "deep emotions tied to the history and events [you[ learned" when young will tie you to the larger Chinese culture and society, forging stronger ties between the brothers and sisters of Taiwan and China. That is how you will reunite as one people.
 
回来吧，带上你的台湾兄弟姐妹。你们年轻时"对历史和事件的深厚感情"将把你们与更广泛的中华文化和社会联系在一起，使台湾兄弟姐妹与大陆兄弟姐妹之间的联系更加紧密。这就是你们作为一个民族团聚的方式。

The Temple of Heaven was built without using even one piece of nail. Essentially the woods were lixed together through  intelligent engineering design and craftmanship centries ago.
Fascinating.
 
天坛的建造连一根钉子都没有使用。从根本上说，这些木材是在数百年前通过智能工程设计和工艺连接在一起的。
非常令人着迷。
 
 
 
@DK-ev9dg
Wow!!!!! I only knew unique joist system in the old architecture in rural China that would use only wooden nails
 
哇!!!!! 我只知道中国农村的古建筑有只用木钉的独特的桁架系统。
 
 
 
@theasianjaywalker4455
Yes, this was common around the world for quite a while even after metal nail systems. Today, most of the temple is a modern rebuild and that's also true around the world.
 
是的，即使在金属钉出现之后的相当长一段时间里，这在全世界都很常见。如今，大部分寺庙都是现代重建的，这在全世界也是如此。
 
 
 
@evelinericksson1611
When I was an exchange student in Beijing, a professor told me that in the ancient time, government officials and ministers live outside the palace and they have to get up really early to get to work in the palace, because the palace is massive, it is a really long walk for them. Some emperors start to work at 5am, so his ministers have to get up at 3am!
 
我在北京做交换生的时候，一位教授告诉我，在古代，政府官员和大臣都住在皇宫外面，他们必须很早起床才能到皇宫里上班，因为皇宫很大，他们要走很长的路。有些皇帝早上5点就开始工作，所以他的大臣们凌晨3点就得起床！
 
 
 
@KVZ55
But the problem is they could not fall asleep too early so they had to smoke the whole night before they went to work, after they met the emperor they came back home to sleep���
 
但问题是他们不能太早入睡，所以在上班前要抽一整夜的烟，见完皇帝后就回家睡觉。
 
 
 
@ashishpokharel4870
I lived in China for 5 years and I was based in Beijing. It's an incredible city and very vibrant. Incredibly safe and friendly. Used to roam around the streets at 2am, no issues.
 
我在中国生活了5年，常驻北京。这是一座充满了活力、非常安全和友好的令人难以置信的城市，我曾在凌晨2点在街上闲逛，没有任何问题。
 
 
 
@cshan5424
Hope your guys enjoy the coldest time in Beijing exploring its morden and history vibes. Climb Great Wall in this weather is a challenge
 
希望你们享受北京最寒冷的时光，探索这里的风土人情和历史气息。在这样的天气里爬长城是个挑战。
 
 
 
@user-oj4iu8jc1l
Love your honest opinion about China. Been there twice ( Nov 2019 and Nov 2023). Visiting again in March 2024. Indian origin but settled in USA.
Fyi Maldivian President just visited China on diplomatic trip
 
我喜欢你对中国的真实看法，我去过中国两次（2019年11月和2023年11月），2024年3月我将再次访问中国，我是定居美国的印度裔。
马尔代夫总统刚刚对中国进行了外交访问。
 
 
 
@HKChineseCanadian
I love your energy.  China is great.  I will be visiting Beijing in March with my daughter.  Go to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall.  It was spectacular.
 
我喜欢你的活力。中国很棒，我三月份会和女儿一起去北京，去长城的慕田峪段，那里非常壮观。
 
 
 
@arafsadventures
I've lived in China for 5 years and never been to Beijing, I need to go soon as it looks beautiful
 
虽然我在中国生活了5年，但我从未去过北京，我需要尽快去看看，因为它看起来很美。
 
 
 
@user-sr7oz5kj8w
Then I think you have to book tickets in advance. Generally, tickets for the Forbidden City should be booked one week in advance, because there are too many people.Also, you need to pay attention to the business hours of the Forbidden City. Is the Spring Festival coming soon?
 
那我觉得你得提前订票。一般来说，故宫的门票应该提前一周预订，因为参观的人太多了，而且您还需要注意故宫的营业时间。春节快到了吗？

China is arguably the safest place on the planet right now
 
中国可以说是目前地球上最安全的地方了。
 
 
 
@yayingo
30 years ago, there were a lot of robberies in China. Now there are a lot of surveillance cameras. High-tech crimes are easy to catch. Robberies and thieves disappear, but there are more surveillance. Which one do you choose?
 
30年前，中国有很多抢劫案，现在有了很多监控摄像头，犯罪很容易被抓住。抢劫和小偷消失了，但监控多了。你选哪个？
 
 
 
@JJr-ce3vv
@6gtemu No, I don't believe there were many safety issues in China 30 years ago. I lived and traveled alone to over 120 cities in China for more than 30 years, and I had never witnessed any robberies.
 
@6gtemu 不，我不认为30年前的中国有很多安全问题，我独自生活和旅行了30多年，去过中国120多个城市，我从未目睹过任何抢劫事件。
 
 
 
@fzmoifzmoi2575
@yayingo The only people that worries about cameras are one's that are up to something negative. Cameras are a no nonsense, good and positive thing! ❤
 
@yayingo 只有那些想干坏事的人才会担心摄像头。摄像头是个不错且积极的东西！
 
 
 
@namelesswarrior4760
Most appreciative to you both for taking the time to look up the history of the places that you're visiting. Thanks
 
非常感谢两位花时间查阅所到之处的历史，谢谢。
 
 
 
@blang7017
When I was visiting the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven a few years ago , the tourist guide told us that in both buildings not a single nail were used. They were built by using wooden joints in order to withstand any earthquake.
 
几年前我参观故宫和天坛时，导游告诉我们，这两座建筑都没有使用一颗钉子。为了抵御地震，它们都是用木头连接而成的。
 
 
 
@theasianjaywalker4455
There was no such thing as nails back in the old days so around the world they used the same methods. It's true that Beijing has had earthquakes but it's not especially known for severe ones.
 
以前没有钉子这种东西，所以全世界都用同样的方法。北京确实发生过地震，但不是特别出名的大地震。
 
 
 
@helsinchan
Welcome back to China！ In Beijing , you have to make a reservation in advance to get into some of the scenic spots,  coz too many people , but you could always get it done in Wechat , or the website, just make sure of it.
 
欢迎回到中国！在北京，有些景区要提前预约才能进去，因为人太多了，不过你可以在微信上或者网站上预约，只要确定约上了就可以了。
 
 
 
@minglee3213
The Chinese people are simple, kind, and hospitable! China's landscapes are delightful, with beautiful surroundings and advanced public transportation facilities. Harbin, in China, is one of the hottest winter travel destinations. The Chinese people welcome people from all around the world to travel to China!
 
中国人民淳朴善良、热情好客！中国山清水秀，环境优美，公共交通设施发达。中国哈尔滨是最热门的冬季旅游目的地之一。中国人民欢迎世界各地的人们来中国旅游！
 
 
 
@familytravelinchina8063
The foreign flag in Tiananmen Square means these is a meeting with the leader of that country，its like a welcome sign. sometimes there will be dozens or 100+ foreign flags,it means there is a international meeting in Beijing.we treat them equally，no matter how big or how small their country is.���
 
天安门广场上的外国国旗代表着这个国家的领导人要在这里开会，这就像一个欢迎的标志。有时候会有几十面或者一百多面外国国旗，这代表着北京有一个国际会议。
 
 
 
@mglee1431
If you observe the trees, some of them are protected by round iron grille,  and some may have small red plate attached on the tree trunk. That will tell you the age of the trees. I've seen one that is 400 years old.
 
如果你仔细观察，你会发现有些树有圆形的铁栅栏保护着，有些树干上可能挂着红色的小牌子，它可以告诉你树的年龄，我见过一棵有400年树龄的树。
 
 
 
@goolooggg9005
You guys + other YT travellers are reviving & living the adventures of Marco Polo epic journey to China! All of you are like Marco Polo of this modern era promoting a continuous evolving China to the world, respect ���
BTW Kublai Khan's Palace maybe underneath the Forbidden City, let imagine if they had built the 2 palaces (Yuan & Ming/Qing) in different localities, both conserved till today, Beijing ancient yet modern city would be even more awesome, out of this world!
 
你们和其他在油管上旅行的人正在重现马可-波罗史诗般的中国之旅！你们就像当代的马可-波罗，向世界宣传不断发展的中国，向你们致敬。
不过，忽必烈的行宫可能就在紫禁城下面，试想一下，如果他们把两座行宫（元宫和明清宫殿）建在不同的地方并且都保存至今，那么北京这座古老而又现代的城市将会更加令人惊叹！
 
 
 
@JamesPhotoLX
Good to see you back again guys. Great enthusiasm as you explore. Keep in mind you're really only seeing a fraction of the palace as much of it is still restricted from public entry.  Not sure how many days you're staying but if you have time an unusual place to visit is Dongyue Temple which has 76 weird depictions of the afterlife. Kind of strange but you definitely won't find anything like it in the UK.
 
很高兴看到你们又回来了。虽然你们的探索热情很高，但请记住，你们实际上只看到了宫殿的一小部分，因为很多地方仍然禁止公众进入。不知道你们要住几天，但如果你们有时间的话，可以去东岳庙看看，那里有76幅关于来世的奇怪画像。虽然有点奇怪，但在英国绝对找不到这样的地方。
 
 
 
@tyronelowe7090
Glad I was there when I was younger.....thanks your video brings back memories of my visit in 2002.
It was easier then to get into the forbidden city.
The preserved details and history of Forbidden City represents an old and grand Chinese civilization that still stimulate our imagination.
 
很高兴我年轻的时候去过那里.....谢谢，你的视频勾起了我2002年参观时的回忆。
那时进入故宫比较容易。
故宫保留的细节和历史代表了古老而宏伟的中华文明，至今仍能激发我们的想象力。
 
 
 
@LW78321
You'll find all over China there are groups of people who dance together in the mornings and evenings. It's a great community feel ���
 
你会发现在中国各地的早晨和傍晚都有一群人在一起跳舞，这是一种很好的社区感。
 
 
 
@theasianjaywalker4455
Yes they are called 'Da Ma' or 'Aunties' and it's great exercise but they also shake buildings with outrageous volume levels on tinny speakers. They can also be very aggressive if you get in their way.
 
是的，他们被称为"大妈"或"阿姨"，这是很好的锻炼方式，但他们也会用尖细的扬声器以令人发指的音量震撼建筑物。如果你挡了她们的路，她们也会非常凶猛。
 
 
 
@olivermiao7853
 @theasianjaywalker4455  你真的很幽默，看到这些我忍不住发笑，大妈们已经成了公害，年轻人不堪其扰发誓与她们斗争到底。
 
 
 
 
@ivyshy98
wow you guys really packed it in on the first day. some people spend a full day just for the forbidden city, but I understand you only have 6 days and too much to see :)
and you are probably right, some official proceeding might have been going on when you went to Tiananmen Square. you guys were only on the small section of it and the main square across the street where the people's congress is was empty. the places you been to were relatively 'quiet' so that's kinda good since you don't have to fight the crowds. it can get pretty crazy during peak season. hope you can make it up to the great wall too :)
also most Chinese will not drink cold water and prefer warm/hot water. it's better for your body in terms of digesting and detoxification.
 
有些人花一整天只为看故宫，但我知道你们只有6天，要看的东西太多了:)
你们只去了天安门广场的一小部分，街对面人民大会堂所在的主广场上空无一人。你们去的地方相对"安静"，这还算好，因为你们不用和人群打交道。）
另外，大多数中国人不喝冷水，他们喜欢喝温水/热水。
