Thank you for this informative video—I really enjoyed it and watched it all the way through. My wife and I are planning to move to Beijing for a couple of years in 2027, and we're incredibly excited about this new adventure!
I do have one question, though. Are you still able to use Facebook and YouTube while living in China? And if so, can your channels still be monetized and continue earning income from views?
Thanks in advance for your advice!

Sergej, your videos are the best! A class apart from the rest. I am flabbergasted your channel appeared only now in my feed. Subscribed, of course. But why didn't you mention how cheap it is to get from Daxing Airport to the Beijing metro system with the Airport HSTrain covering 60 kms?

Several of your videos are of China. I think some time should be invested in Mandarin to help you communicate and understand 中国人。

Wanna learn about Food Scene in Beijing?
Well not many people in China know about the tank man. Few people in the west know how many soldiers got killed before the government ordered evacuation of the Tiananmen Square. EVEN FEWER people know tanks waited politely until tank man walked free, while ICE agents directed put 2 bullets into a lady trying to stop them without warning 😅

There was no massacre at Tien An Men in 1989. That is another Western concocted anti-China narrative which even good-intentioned people like this blogger has easily fallen for,

@SuriyawatiAguswrong its eastern coast😂
@xinwang1207very smart country , i love the energy from youths
@AndrewMinHtetMy wife is an Old Beijinger. No, a lot of "Old Beijing" don't drink Douzhi. It's really interesting to tourists, though. One of the stereotypes of Chinese people is that they say "have you eaten yet" instead of "how are you". Nowadays, it is very rare to hear 你吃了吗, or "have you eaten yet?". Most everyone has eaten quite well these days! BTW, Beijing has been my home for almost 25 years.
@Kendall-s5hAwesome video Slava! Your vegan friend is so awesome and interesting 🤙🏼
@IPangkhorexperienced the same line being long when we went to Chris de redeemer. You never actually realize how long it is.
@pefectkhoza791The contrast between the ancient architecture and modern skyscrapers is insane. Looks like a map straight out of a next-gen RPG! 🤯
@CarsonSnowJayDude found a date
@GiannaRene-j8cHey, I haven't commented on any of your videos before, but thanks for them. I love your travel summaries, from arrival to the very end, they are very informative. Also, they are very relatable to my Spanish culture—I love eating and it's a big part of tourism x). Again, thanks and congratulations on your channel! Hope you keep it up for many years, I'm more than happy to travel to other places through you :D
@V4MPiR0I was laughing when I learnt that in china you don't ask ' how are you' but you say ' have you eaten'.
@ChurchillMugoseroThere was no massacre at Tiananmen Square at all. Gee, people still believe those suggestive pictures but lack real evidence. As a student who was at the square and also lived nearby, I never witnessed any deaths during that time. I do know a few people were killed in another part of the city due to a riot, and several police officers were among the dead. However, you cannot call that a massacre.
@novaellis-4nowHer business english was getting the job done, good for her!
@usr34518What an amazing video! I thoroughly enjoyed your Beijing travel vlog. The way you captured the city's history, culture, architecture, and daily life was truly engaging. It felt like I was exploring Beijing alongside you. Thank you for the effort and attention to detail. Looking forward to more such wonderful travel content! I am your fan to all your beautiful videos. Please capture some videos from India.Bengaluru.
@HanumagowdaGreat video :) which song did you put in to the clip with live music?
@nicolaipedersen4748Wikileaks published several documents and communications written by foreign diplomats and people inside tianmensquare, showing different views from western media。
@winwin-ow6enI just realized china has a reacher history that USA
@Ronaldokoth-z1n2syo, I speak English and spanish
@angelachanelhuang1651Every person in China of my age knows about the tank man, and we don't think he's heroic by any means. In China, it's extremely normal for people to not fear the military or the police, rather the regular residents of BJ normally look down on soldiers back then because they came from very poor background from rural China, and that is why most of the local residents, the bad ones, which I call hoodlums would attack the military personnel while they were there. There was no massacre whatsoever of innocent people, I was in BJ back then so I know, only hoodlums who refused to leave after continuous warnings to exit the area were hit. Tank man didn't spend a day in jail, which he should have because he misrepresented my generation. I'm from BJ and now live in the US, and never one day in my life that I sympathized with those ignorant people who participated in the protest. They were the product of that era, neither good nor evil, just ill informed morons who got misled by western propaganda.

@CharlesParkerJuniorTiananmen was a failed US coup.
@abzkockaChinese don't speak English but when they speak they sound like Native English speaker...
@Severalways-44Beijing is the best example of how not to design a city. Who thought building 4 lane freeway thought the city downtown would be a good idea?
@BigOrangeManNo one is more obsessed with the 1989 Tiananmen incident than the Americans themselves. Actually, a lot of Chinese people know what happened in that date even tho the internet and information is highly censored. It's just they move on with their lives just sidelining whatever happened in 35 years ago . Unlike Americans, for whatever reason are obsessed with that incident even more than the Chinese themselves. I mean, US federal government and its institutions kill more Americans annually with regarding to endless wars and unfixed healthcare system, but no, Americans are more interested in shitting on whatever happened on China three decades ago than fixing their own 'democratic' 'pro-democracy' 'pro-human rights(ask Iranian school girls)' government. The shameless hypocrisy is unbelievable.
@BigOrangeManNice video
