First Day in CHINA 🇨🇳 | Honestly… We Didn’t Expect This

After arriving in Chengdu, we head out to explore the city — starting with a visit to the historic Wuhou Shrine, followed by an evening at a local night market and the busy shopping district of Chunxi Road.

We also try some street food at Fuqin Night Market.

However, the day doesn’t quite go to plan… Holly starts to feel unwell, and we have to head back to the hotel for a while. Thankfully she feels much better later, and we’re able to continue exploring.

This video gives you a real, honest look at what your first day in China can be like — the highs, the challenges, and everything in between.
Stay tuned for more daily vlogs from our China Adventure.
