Americans FIRST DAY in China A Dream Come True!

美国人在中国的第一天，梦想成真！

China has always been a place of wonder for us—a country rich in history, vibrant culture, and legendary food. But growing up in America, we often heard stories that made us curious, even uncertain, about what to expect. Would it feel overwhelming? Unfamiliar? It was finally time to experience it for ourselves.

From navigating the metro to savoring our first local coffee and soup dumplings, we take you along as we soak in the charm of this incredible city. We’ll share our first impressions of Beiing’s clean streets, warm hospitality, and bustling energy

在我看来，中国一直是一个充满奇迹的地方——一个拥有悠久历史、充满活力的文化和传奇美食的国家。在美国长大，我们经常听到一些故事，让我们对中国产生好奇感。会不会被震撼？会不会有一种不熟悉的感觉？终于到了亲身体验的时候了。

从乘坐地铁到品尝我们的第一杯当地咖啡和汤圆，我们带您一起沉浸在这座令人难以置信城市的魅力中。北京干净的街道、热情好客的市民，繁华城市的活力，留下了第一印象

As a SKorean, who just left Shanghai last week and flew back to Toronto, and now trying to look up some China content because I miss it a lot. I have always thought it would be easy to blend in, but that was not the case. However the moment people realize I am not a local but a Korean they were so excited and super welcoming. Too much to say about China, and I would love to go to China again in a heartbeat, I really really miss China and my world is not going to be the same.

作为韩国人，我上周刚离开上海飞回多伦多，现在正查找一些中国内容，我非常想念中国。我一直认为那里很容易融入，但事实并非如此。

当人们意识到我不是当地人，而是韩国人时，他们非常兴奋和热情。关于中国，我有太多的话要说了，我很想马上再次去中国，我真的很想念中国，我的世界也不一样了。

China is indeed a beautiful country with so much to offer. We're glad you had such great experiences!

中国确实是一个美丽的国家，有很多东西可以参观。我们很高兴你留下了这么棒的经历！

Thousands of years of Chinese culture have made the Chinese people friendly. We have no caste discrimination, no skin color discrimination, no ethnic discrimination. China has always welcomed people from all over the world to come to China.

几千年的中华文化，中国人民友好相处。我们没有种姓歧视，没有肤色歧视，没有种族歧视。中国一贯欢迎世界各国人民的到来

你好，我在多伦多！我来自北京，住在多伦多。如果你想去我的家乡，想了解什么，我很乐意帮忙！

That ginger is actually for the "sauce plate" where you pour the vinegar in and dip your iao Long Bao with that. But very creative of you guys to make ginger tea out of it ;) If you liked your X iao Long Bao experience I would def recommend you to go to Shanghai, the birth place of that dish where they serve really authentic buns.

实际上，生姜是用来做“酱汁盘”的，你可以把醋倒进去，蘸上你的小笼包。

你们真是太有创意了，竟然用它来泡姜茶

如果你喜欢吃小笼包，我建议你去上海，上海是这道菜的发源地，那里有真正正宗的包子。

mikeandashley

Haha, yeah. We realized that later on. We love iao Long Bao and can't wait to go to Shanghai!

哈哈，是的。我们后来才意识到的。我们爱吃小笼包，迫不及待地想去上海！

I am a Malaysian Chinese who has stayed in US for over 13 years. I have travelled to every major US cities, even smaller towns, almost all European countries, and moat South East Asia and East Asian counties, include New Zealand and Australia. China is the best countries I have visited, hands down. I have only been to Shang Hai, Hang Zhou, Su zhou, Cheng du, Chong Qing, and Beiing. I'll keep coming back to this incredible country. Me and my wife have even started to discuss how to move to China permanently. Hahaha.. That's how much we love it.

我是一名马来西亚华人，在美国呆了13年多。我去过美国的每一个大城市，很多小城镇都去过了，去过几乎所有的欧洲国家，去过东南亚和东亚的大多数个殴，也去过新西兰和澳大利亚。毫无疑问，中国是我访问过的最好的国家。我只去过上海、杭州、苏州、成都、重庆和北京。我会继续回到这个不可思议的国家。我和妻子甚至开始讨论如何永久定居中国。哈哈哈。我们太喜欢中国了

in China，You can see yellow cabinets everywhere similar to cashiers. Scan the QR code above and you can get a charged mobile power supply to charge your device. You only need to charge it, then find any charging cabinet with space to plug in the mobile power supply and return it. The cost seems to be about 1 yuan for half an hour, which is very convenient and you don’t have to worry about battery issues.

在中国，到处都可以看到类似收银员的黄色橱柜。扫描上面的二维码，您可以取出一个充电宝为您的设备充电。充完电就归还。半小时的费用似乎约为1元，非常方便，您不必担心手机没电的问题。

Modern cities like Beiing, Shanghai, Shenzen, Guangzhou and others are a must visit for first time visitors but once you're done with those modern advanced cities while still maintaining those thousands of years cultural and heritage architectural, go out of cities towards those heaven-like mountainous landscapes, you'll be amazed for sure. Yunnan, the southern part has too many of them, places like Dali, Lijiang, Guizhou, Kunming, Zhangjiajie, Guilin and so many more. China is one country which could take years to explore if you really love to experience its 5,000 years of civilization with 50 over different Chinese ethnicity, it is unfortunate that majority of the people in the world thought there is only one ethnic Chinese in China. One tip before I forgot, wherever you go in China, always go out after sunset and film those colorful lights at night, they're unbelievably beautiful and worth experiencing.

I'm from Malaysia and have visited China since the 90s till 2024 both for business and leisure and this year alone (2024), I visited twice and I would say I noticed the biggest developments and improvements ever in any countries from 2010 onwards in China. Not going to touch on sensitive side of things but all I'm saying is that we common people are looking forward to a secure, peaceful, safe, liveable lives with minimal crimes, friendly neighbors, tranquility ......... you know what I mean. For me China is up there providing all that for its people which I didn't see in many countries around the world and that's what made many countries around the world envious.
Anyway, enjoy your trip and watch how much Chinese people enjoy their lives, I just hope to be able spend more time there myself.

北京、上海、深圳、广州等现代城市是第一次来华的中国游客的必游之地，这些现代化的先进城市，保留了数千年的文化和遗产建筑，走出城市，走向那些天堂般的山景，你一定会大吃一惊。

云南南部有很多这样的地方，比如大理、丽江、贵州、昆明、张家界、桂林等等。

中国是一个可能需要数年时间才能探索完的国家，如果你真的喜欢体验5000年的中华文明，50多个民族，

不幸的是，世界上大多数人认为中国只有一个民族。无论你在中国走到哪里，都应该在日落后出去拍摄五颜六色的夜景灯光，美得令人难以置信，值得体验。

我来自马来西亚，从90年代到2024年，我经常在中国商务和休闲访问，仅在今年（2024年），我就去了中国两次，我想说，我注意到从2010年开始，中国取得了超越所有国家的发展和进步。

我们普通人期待着一种安全、和平、宜居的生活，犯罪率最低，邻居友好，宁静。

对我来说，中国正在为自己的人民提供我在世界许多国家没有看到的一切设施，令世界上许多国家羡慕不已。

不管怎样，祝你旅途愉快，看看中国人多么享受自己的生活，我只是希望自己能在中国呆得久一些。

I am Chinese living in America. Americans think America have everything and don't bother to leave the country....yes in some sense but China is on different level. The scenery, landsca are a lot more diverse; the ethnic foods, infrastructures.... and if you are into history, museums, archeology stuffs like that, China is your wet dream!

我是住在美国的华人。美国人认为美国什么都有，没必要离开自己国家。从某种意义上说是的，但中国处于不同的水平。风景、景观更加多样化；民族食品、基础设施发达。如果你喜欢历史、博物馆、考古之类的东西，中国最适合你去游玩了

mikeandashley

It's been an eye-opening experience leaving America two years ago and seeing things from the outside looking in. We love history and are very excited to discover more of China

两年前离开美国，看外面的世界，真是令人大开眼界。我们热爱历史，很高兴能更多地了解中国

dav5253

For your information, in almost all Chinese subway stations, you can always find elevators to go up and down in addition to staircases. All you have to do is ask and you will find them.

供您参考，在几乎所有的中国地铁站，除了可以走楼梯，您还可以找到升降梯。问一下就知道了，你能找到的

markosmataasii2000

China is more than just Beiing and Shanghai. If you can, visit other big cities in Central and Western China and as well nature and ancient towns.

中国不是只有北京和上海。如果可以的话，你还可以参观中西部的其他大城市，看自然风光，看古镇。

mikeandashley

We would love to! We have a long list of places we want to visit in China. It's such a vast country with so much to see. We can't wait to explore more.

我们很乐意去看！中国有很多地方是我想去的。这是一个幅员辽阔的国家，有很多值得一看的地方。我们迫不及待地想探索更多。

emilysears5139

American travel to China no need visas, what do you need is just an air-ticket, everything is very cheap plus $100 can exchange to 700rmb, the same purchase values with $700.

美国人到中国旅行不需要签证，你只需要买一张机票，什么都很便宜，现在100美元可以兑换700元人民币，购买力与700美元一样。

mikeandashley

True! But you also need an airline ticket out, to a different country than you flew in from, no layovers in China, they must both be direct flights, and you need proof of accommodation as well, AND as an American, you only get 6 days or 144 hours.

Which is a bummer if you want to explore more than one city at a time, but we’re just happy to be able to come at all, and can’t wait to return with a proper visa.

没错！但你也需要一张出境机票，去一个陌生国家，在中国没有转机，必须都是直达航班，你还需要住宿证明，作为美国人，你只可以在中国呆6天，或144小时。

如果你想一次玩多个城市，可能玩不过来，但我们很高兴能够来中国

Kylelongwest

I love china very much, the people are friendly, and the foods are good. But the sim card is so expensive, way more expensive than hong kong, and you need it to order tax.

我非常喜欢中国，这里的人很友好，食物也很美味。但sim卡太贵了，比香港贵得多，你需要手机才能叫到出租车。

我是印尼人，自2006年以来去过中国10多次。自从疫情以来就再也没去过中国

看到你这么兴奋，我都很想再次去中国旅游了。
