I Survived My First Chinese New Year in China… 🇨🇳



I Survived My First Chinese New Year in China… 🇨🇳

No fireworks. No quiet celebrations.
Just thousands of drones lighting up the sky over one of China’s craziest megacities.

For my first ever Spring Festival in China, I experienced Chinese New Year in Chongqing — a city famous for cyberpunk skylines, massive crowds, and next-level drone shows.

Location: Chongqing, China
Happy Chinese New Year!

    China appears to be a very secure and clean location to travel. There, people serve others honestly and do not coerce you into leaving a tip. It's no minor fit to be able to visit at least 20 provinces in two years.

    I was thinking your vlog views were going to decline recently but this one bounced back.👏👏👏💪💪

    Two videos in one day yesterday Reanne was treating us well! Happy CNY wishing you good health, prosperity & wealth! 🧧🧧🧧🐴🐴🐴You should've gotten red underwear with horses on them! Yeah it might be company policy for the delivery driver to not accept money even if in red envelopes! I love Ben & Reanne's haircuts! It looks like some kind of sticky sweets you guys bought! If the security is moving the street vendors they might be selling fake black market stuff/items! Chinese style burger looks like Ben! Reanne annoyed at Ben for talking when she's eating, mango mochi balls looks like maybe the outside is mango Reanne, Taro mini cake! Excuses excuses Ben! Some people don't stay home some people go out to eat/some people stay home their choice! Hope you get lucky on the scratch cards guys! Nice of them to have scratchy tools to scratch your cards! I love your scratching technique Ben congrats on winning your money back Ben! How was the gelato Reanne & Ben? The tea & the tasters all looked delicious! Don't belive the people the big cities have events! The drone show was amazing that you guys posted on your insta! Nice of you guys to get your hotel room cleaner a gift for doing such an amazing job! Chinese space elevator I won't believe it until I see it! I loved the check-in chat! Oh moving to China after August cool! A penthouse you gonna have a private driver chaffeuring you around too? Maybe buy an electric scooter, electric car as those are popular in China! Not many gas cars around! I've already subscribed so I'm not a loser Reanne! Shenzhen the next gen province!

    告诉你们一个恐怖的事实，中国的房子，你不需要每年缴纳房产税或者土地税，你买了房子之后，这个房子就是你的，一直到你死去，或者卖出，中间不需要再缴纳任何的税，即使你失业了，你也可以安心的住在你的房子里，不需要担心因为没有缴纳每年的税而被法院强制拍卖！中国的政府是限制资本家，而为人民服务的政府，不是一个为资本家服务的政府。所以，美国和欧洲这些被资本家控制的媒体，需要竭尽全力来污蔑中国政府。

    因为他们怕自己国家的人民，把自己的政府，和中国政府去对比。

    You’re in china you probably didn’t know there is a war going on now outside China about “happy lunar” vs “Chinese new years “ 😂

  28. @看看-u5l

    Wishing you all good health and happiness in the new year. I really enjoy watching your videos😊

    Thank you for your steadfast loyalty presenting China's vast treasures continuously for the last 2 years. Many of the viewers like me, would not have had such extensive ideas and information so readily available.

    新年快乐，很羡慕你们把旅游当成工作。希望中国能给你们带来更多惊喜。

  33. @绿蛙粉碎机

    Thank you so much for showing the real China to the world! Your videos during Chinese New Year are heartwarming and eye-opening. It means a lot to us that you’re breaking stereotypes and sharing the true warmth and vibrancy of our country. Wishing you both an amazing Year of the Horse! 🧧

    外卖员估计是有公司规定，不能拿顾客的小费红包之类的，只能在平台上点赞或者赞助外卖员，视频发出去被他公司人看到的话，他可能会受到处罚。
