00:00:00
good morning you guys from China we're here
in the capital of Beijing which is a mega
00:00:03
City and has over 20 million residents
and it's over 3,000 years old which is
00:00:08
so crazy to me I know I'm so excited to
be here you guys so we are utilizing the
00:00:13
144-hour visa-free transit so we only have
a few days here it's the perfect amount of
00:00:18
time for us to get our first impressions
of the city and this country look how
00:00:22
beautiful this place is too we have perfect
weather today it's going to be a fantastic
00:00:26
day we're just heading over to jingshan
park right now it's supposed to have like
00:00:33
the highest point in the old city and offer
like really amazing views over the Forbidden
00:00:38
City so that's what we're headed now so the
first thing I noticed when coming here to
00:00:43
Beijing is how quiet everything is for a
huge City with so many people like we're
00:00:49
walking down one of the main roads now and
most cars are electric which is really nice
00:00:53
so I can talk on the side of the road
without worrying about the noise it's
00:00:56
just so surprising how quiet and peaceful
everything is Plus all the greenery it's so
00:01:01
pretty [Music] okay we just made it to Jing
Chan park it was 10 R&B a person to get in I
00:01:16
did read that they raised the prices slightly
between April and May because there's so many
00:01:21
beautiful flowers and so obviously the
entrance goes up because more people
00:01:24
come to visit the park and immediately as
soon as we stepped in you can just like
00:01:28
smell all the flowers and see all of the
beautiful flowers so yeah excited to be
00:01:32
here wow look at these red ones
these are so pretty they smell
00:01:41
amazing wow this park has such a great Vibe
it is so quiet and peaceful it's great to see
00:01:49
everybody enjoying it especially all the locals
everybody with their huge lenses taking so many
00:01:54
photos and the variety of flowers is blowing my
mind a little bit so QA Boll Montage of all the
00:02:00
[Music]
00:02:14
flowers okay I think we made up to the main
viewing point up here that's where all the
00:02:32
people are lined up it overlooks the entire
forbidden city which is so cool snagg us a
00:02:38
spot how beautiful is this view right I know
I love all of the orange roofs this is so nice
00:02:45
and the weather today is so good right so this is
actually an artificial Hill so whenever they were
00:02:51
building the Forbidden City and like Excavating
the moat basically they took all of the dirt
00:02:55
from the moat and put it in this big pile here
and this hill now looks over the Forbidden City
00:03:01
so that's how this hill was made it's pretty cool
actually I know fun fact I wonder if they planned
00:03:05
it that way or just happened to be I think they
did plan it it's like very funu everything is
00:03:09
very methodical I think perfect it's okay man
thank you thank you beautiful you guys thank
00:03:18
you okay got my photo that was interesting what
were you taking a photo of this the sign at the
00:03:32
ground says the central point of Beijing but it's
so funny I was standing next to it and then like
00:03:36
10 people like one after after just go in front
of me for their photo I keep trying but I don't
00:03:41
think I'm going to get up there people just go
in front of me I can't be passive here can't be
00:03:45
passive so that thing I said earlier about being
very quiet and peaceful I take it all back now I'm
00:03:50
just joking it's just so busy up here there's so
many people enjoying the views of the Forbidden
00:03:54

everybody if I can take photos of them and
00:04:00

00:04:08
at the very top Viewpoint you can go to the other
side not facing the Forbidden City it's a little
00:04:12
bit quieter not quite as crowded but the views are
just as good I feel like I'm very surprised by all
00:04:17

00:06:14
hello chances are if you're coming to
Beijing you're going to order the duck
00:06:23
so we're in the diman area it's basically
like the road that's leading from where
00:06:29
this morning jingshen Park to the drum and bell
towers that we're going to next and this little
00:06:35
roast duck shop just happened to be like on the
way um and I think a lot of the locals just call
00:06:40
it roast duck they don't call it like peeking
duck or Bing duck they just say roast duck and
00:06:45
the name of the shop is deanan roast deck so so
I was asking our waitress I was like oh can I
00:06:52
get shots of the chef preparing the duck she
pointed behind me right in the entrance door
00:06:56
when we walked in I missed it they have all these
ducks in this refrigerator system they take them
00:07:00
out hang them up outside this fireplace and then
inside you can see there's like 12 of them already
00:07:05
roasting in there and the guy takes them out
with the big hook and hangs them out to cool
00:07:09
off and then one of the guys goes to and cuts
them all up to smell at you guys I am uh pretty
00:07:14
ecstatic right now so I asked the waitress
what sh she recommends to go with the duck
00:07:18
and she recommend this Chinese salad which we've
never had before it already looks amazing it has
00:07:23
some of my favorite things cilantro sesame seeds
noodles looks amazing so you put this one here
00:07:30
with this okay okay dip this in here yeah okay
and then you put this with this and in here okay
00:07:36
perfect yeah why do you think she brought
Sephora I like it is time for the first
00:07:50
bite of roasted dck it looks just like oh
crispy so Juicy and Delicious it's so so good
00:07:59
I can't tell you how good it is cooked Perfection
so crunchy the meat is so moist this might be the
00:08:08
best duck I've ever had this is a Lotus Leaf
pancake look how thin it is then I'm going to
00:08:13
put some duck I'm going to dip the duck in the
sauce ooh that sauce is thick this is cucumber
00:08:20
and onion I have no idea if we're doing this
right or not I think this might be right the
00:08:26
duck is so salty and juicy and then the sauce
adds like a sweet touch to it and then with the
00:08:31
crunchy cucumbers and the refreshing onions it
is so good this is an excellent dish look how
00:08:39
delicious these look so these are just duck bones
that they cook with salt and pepper this has to
00:08:45
be my favorite part wow what a delicious meal
that was so good thank you guys byebye byebye
00:08:49
we read online they actually have to wait in
line to get to some of these duck places but
00:08:53
this is so convenient we just walked right
in and got a table it was only like $24 too
00:08:58
so not too bad yeah it was actually very
affordable that was for all of our all of
00:09:02
our food we did only do half a duck though
it was so good such high quality food though
00:09:06
yum
00:09:15
see I have tickets how much were that so it was
30 R&B for both Towers oh scarf 30 R&B for both
00:09:26
Towers so these are the drum and bell towers the
sign over there side only buy the tickets if you
00:09:32
can climb the very steep stairs both of them
have very steep stairs so there used to be a
00:09:37
tradition where at dawn they would I think
ring the bell and then at dusk they would
00:09:42
bang the drums hope I got it in the right order
um and so they built these drum and bell towers
00:09:47
all over China the ones specifically here in
Beijing are the biggest in China and they're
00:09:51
pretty massive and we're going to go climb up the
stairs on both and see the views over the city
00:10:15
