As someone born and raised in Chongqing, I can give you some context. Chongqing has always been a massive manufacturing hub of China, but it wasn't a tourist destination at all until 2017 when it blew up on Chinese TikTok. Most of those viral spots were actually 'discovered' by t…
I am going to Chongqing next week and I’m excited. As a Singaporean Chinese, when I visited China last month (Shenzhen & Guangzhou) I was honestly surprised how developed and clean it was.
It’s such a pity that my mandarin isn’t great but I still enjoyed though. Tip: take weste…
Ken, my man, respectfully, quit worrying about those tired, old ignorant comments/opinions about being paid to make a video. It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. The trolls will always have a complaint. Just keep doing the great job of making your videos. Props for …
51:11 , When you said "...Xin Jiang...", the vendor misunderstood and thought that you were asking for halal food, so he shaked his head and said "pork".
I'll hopefully visit Chongqing this year.
I feel safe going to China but not America. The Chinese people seem friendly.

There is so much false negative stuff put out about China but it looks incredible

And, Ben, fruits look bigger cause many of …
41:46 Those four characters are 古渝雄關 (Gǔ Yú Xióng Guān). It translates to 'The Grand Ancient Pass of Chongqing.' 'Yu' (渝) is the old name for the city, and 'Xiong Guan' refers to a gateway or fortress. Since you’re at Raffles City, it’s a tribute to the historical Chaotianmen Ga…
Ive been traveling around China by train and just arrived in Chongqing to fly home.
I have to say though, I actually quite like the vibe. It's vibrant in some areas but kinda mellow in the side streets where my hotel is.
For a few days, I give it a thumbs-up.
I find that most …
This was truly awesome, Ken ! Watching you experienced Chongqing for the first time was really fun. Oh gosh, Chongqing looks absolutely insane and the architecture is just mind - blowing. You really captured the energy of the city and those incredible views. In fact you covered a…
Each floor feels like the ground floor because the place is built on a hill, so it's like a giant staircase, so each floor is like one giant step with shops.
43:09 The big text is 音浪派对 (Yīnlàng Pàiduì) for 'Sound Wave Party,' which carries a high-energy modern vibe, and the smaller text on the right is 长安同行 (Cháng'ān Tóngxíng), which means 'Traveling Together with Changan.' Since Changan Automobile is headquartered in Chongqing, they …
