so our boss man here he said that we can take these ones to go to the morning market we just
cannot go together on one because legally only one adult is allowed to go on the electric bikes
in Hangzhou you cannot have like two adults you can have an adult and like a 14-year-old
or 13-year-old or under but yeah we can't both use it so either we each take one and
we go there and we come back to explore or we can call like a ride hailing app what do you
think I think this will be more fun but are you comfortable riding an electric scooter
it's just like a bike but you don't have to pedal maybe I can just quickly practice
woh it's fast it's too bad we couldn't both fit on it because that would be more fun
but one each will do okay full battery ready ready let's go okay
are you nervous not really are you are you nervous
for me I'm nervous for you okay let's go 26 minutes 8 kilometers
so where are we going babe oh we're going to the morning market it's called Damanong so we'll get
some breakfast some traditional breakfast there actually this doesn't go more than 25 yeah 25 is
the max speed yeah I'm going about 16 km an hour and we'll try to stay on the bike path this is a
great idea I need to get used to this I'm not used to this so much fun we're blocking the traffic
we keep going straight these electric bikes are so common here and it's such a great idea cuz it
keeps the noise pollution down and the roads here are built for this so this is West Lake
wow yeah that's so beautiful I think that is one of the famous causeways it's called Su Causeway I
think it's just you can see all the trees lining that road and it goes in the middle of the lake
we'll come back to explore it later but it's just so beautiful I had to stop and take a look
what happened did you see that yes I braked but I didn't use both brakes so I slowly just hit
him just barely but he was like what the hell so embarrassing is the bike okay yeah we're
both okay yeah use both brakes okay yeah the left and the right I think if you're
comfortable with this bike you're ready to ride a scooter in Thailand that's three times the
speed two three times the speed I'm not sure but it's easy but it's easy just take a little
used to but you did a good job only ran into someone once and you only ran into me once
I wish I had this in Koh Samui you know how it's hard to get around in Koh Samui and I
wasn't comfortable with the scooter but this is perfect you can park right here
we made it we made it alive
and we still have full battery yeah isn't that insane I guess maybe you
can go more than 20 km but he's just being safe
wow this is a first for me too it's such a traditional like rustic market and it's in a residential
neighborhood so you can tell that it's people from here everything seems so fresh the freshest
bamboo shoot chicken meat the eggs the eggs over there still was like in hay everything is so fresh
as you said even turtles yeah turtles they do eat turtles here but we don't have to eat turtles
let's see what else there is to eat okay so we are now at the morning market called Damanong
that's what I think it's called at least it is one of the oldest residential areas in Hangzhou
and that looks delicious I know right what is that some kind of pancake oh should we try it should we
so what is it this one is like a pancake and then inside he has green onions green onions
and vegetarian goose I think it's vegetarian vegetarian goose like fake like fake
meat you know what I mean look at the way he pressed them so neat wow there
is no meat in it you could put like um that kind of vegetarian goose which is
like a fake meat but I chose for the six CNY one which has nothing it's just the
pancake and the green onion and the sauce so I added chili sauce and sweet sauce
you took a bite of two pieces at once yeah you're supposed to he put the sauce in between so you
eat it together so good it's like eating Peking duck but without the duck but you get a crispy
pancake wow and the chili sauce is really spicy he already said it's less spicy for me
look at how popular it is
we started the trend everyone's getting it now
that's yummy right you explain it perfectly it's like Peking duck without the duck yeah you didn't quite
explain about this market you got distracted yeah so this market is one of the oldest residential
neighborhoods that is left in Hangzhou and the cool thing about it is this is one of the only
morning markets left too so it really caters to the local people and it's known for having some
Hangzhou specialty foods especially for breakfast apparently it is it says yeah right in front of
her store it says this is Hangzhou people's food I think the first part of the market is more like
fresh vegetables and and um fruits and stuff and then we get into the meat and we're going to see
I think some duck or is it goose that is like marinated in soy that's that's also one of their
specialties and then if we keep walking I believe there's a lot more breakfast food to choose from
good cuz this is not enough mhm need more yummy stuff so far our experience of China like visiting
Shanghai and the main part of Hangzhou we feel like it's very modern and they've really changed
up a lot of the public spaces to be quite modern and convenient but coming to this market you can
see how traditional it used to look and it's really nice that they have maintained this
market and that local people are still so actively using it because this is really I think what life
is like in China this one looks popular so are we trying this too yeah I'm not 100% what this is I
just know it's like a fried fish but everyone's lining up for it and that reminds me of something
my Mom used to make when I was uh young she made it for Grandpa and Grandpa was Shanghainese so I
think maybe that's a specialty but if I remember correctly and it's the same fish there's a lot
of bones oh but the bones are big would it be the same fish as this fish yeah yep the body of that
fish they're probably going to make soup with the fish head later does this does this turn you off a
little bit I don't know why I'm like okay with it I guess because I go to the wet market with my Mom
sometimes when I was younger so I'm like it's okay and I work in the kitchen it's just weird that
it's outside nice wow look at this that looks so crispy that looks good so they deep fried it and
then they put it into like a sauce like a soy sauce marinade I think it's slightly sweet and
then they drain it so then it's not too wet but you can see the sauce still underneath smells good
can we get some steamed bun to go with it I saw this look at that that look look how fresh that
is should we get the purple one or the white one purple one wow look at them they looks so soft
oh I'm excited this does smell really nice mhm it would go well with the bun fresh
off the steamer why is it purple so she said it is black rice and millet what is
millet like a type of grain oh like a wheat like rice berry uh no I think smaller than
rice berry but it's like a healthy grain people were buying 10 of them 8 of them
5 of them I feel like one is not going to be enough and one is only 1.5 CNY for one
yummy let me try the fish
oh my God that's delicious somehow I was expecting it to be fishy but
it's not it's sweet and crispy there's bones no bones really I just saw a bone
I think they deep fry it long enough that you can eat it like here you see
the white one yeah it's crispy oh well that's convenient go perfectly with the bun
so how does it feel for you to be in China I was going to say back in China but you never
lived here yeah I mean I lived in Hong Kong for a bit growing up but I don't really know China like
this trip was the first time I actually looked up the different regions in China the different
cities in China what they're called what the provinces are what do you see like what are the
attractions and even the language I have to almost like brush it up cuz I've never officially learned
Mandarin before it's always through movies and TVs and music so it's a bit foreign to me but at the
same time coming here the people have made me feel really welcomed and I speak enough to get by that
um I don't find it difficult I almost feel like being taken care of by like some distant relatives
that's what it feels like so you wouldn't get offended anymore when next time you go back
to Canada and people say go back to China I'll be like oh yeah I love it and I'll be like oh now
I have a proper visa to come back it was kind of hard for me using a Canadian passport to come here
wow look at that oh I almost fell you got to stop right there I got too excited look at how
beautiful that is wow that is so beautiful looks like it's floating we are now at the famous West
Lake called Xi Hu and this is part of a lot of historical Chinese legends and stories and poets
like to make up poems about this place because it's so beautiful and it's quite a big place
so a lot of people either tour this by boat by electric tram by bicycles or of course you can
walk but I think it's 15 km to do one round oh really yeah it's pretty big we should do a boat
I think we should do a boat too there's four types of boats so let's see at the pier which
one like which choice we have which one is the cheapest yeah let's not go with the expensive
one cuz I know there's one where it only seats a few people and then they row the boat by hand
like a private one yeah that one's going to be expensive so this is the boat we want to take
we get to visit all four of those places and it's 50 CNY for a person and I think it takes
about 30 minutes so I'll just scan and buy our tickets first this is our boat
it's 40 minutes and we'll come back to here this pier perfect let's try to get a seat
yeah let's see if there's a spot oh if you want to sit inside you can
even order tea for 5 CNY oh really yeah this is nice oh no no 58 CNY for the tea
I guess you can't sit in there unless you buy tea you want to sit here or you want to go stand
downstairs can you stand downstairs I think you can stand downstairs let's go downstairs
let's go check it out cuz it's a bit stuffy up here I like this boat because it has the
outdoor option yeah some of the boats are just sitting inside like this well you can also open
the window so Flora is trying to get the best seats are there two chairs there perfect this is
quite nice best spot I think it's pretty nice good job look at the mountains yeah that looks like a
watercolor painting I mean it's very very busy but because West Lake is the most famous attraction in
Hangzhou so no matter what day you come here it's going to be this packed I think it's even crazier
during the holidays it's almost recommended not to come during the holidays because it's so packed I
mean like don't they work don't they have work to do can't you see it looks like majority of people
are retired true true there are older older people here and just the population of Hangzhou
itself is over 10 million or something like that it's pretty crazy so this is not that many people
you're right about this park you can spend 10 hours here and still not able to explore
the whole lake it's huge the boat cruise was nice in the sense that it gave you a different
perspective of different parts of the lake but it's so different from walking on the path around
the lake yeah because you can experience the different gardens the different temples trees
yeah even the trees are intriguing cuz I've seen these trees before but only in paintings yeah I've
never seen them like in real life before that they like hang hang like a curtain it's very romantic
how much battery do you have mine is still full I think mine is full too I turned it off already
but I think it was full that's awesome our final stop yes I we got our tickets to the
Leifeng Pagoda and I think they close in 1 hour so everyone's kind of going up there because you
get a beautiful sunset view of West Lake it's already looks packed up there so we're going
to have to try to find a spot damn boy there's even an escalator I didn't know it was that fancy
we're taking the escalator yeah I'm being lazy I was going to say that they put in the escalator
and also they have kind of paths that they say is a bit more wheelchair accessible but not 100%
accessible though because people still have to walk down there's only an escalator to go up
maybe by the time it's about to close they reverse it maybe that would be smart or maybe it's on the
other side see this lady has a wheelchair and then her whole family has to bring her down so I guess it's
half accessible so how many stories are there this is 1 2 3 4 5 five stories and we need to make a
choice here we either line up for the elevator to go straight up or we walk five flights of stairs
how long is the line we're young we should walk okay and I just asked how long is the line okay we'll
walk almost there this is already the third floor I think should we go all the way up start
from the top yeah well at least we know if the top is full we can come down to the third floor yeah
that is the Su Causeway you see there's a bridge there and then right in the middle of the lake
is where there's a walking path with all the willow trees it's amazing I'm glad we walked
up feel young again want to hear about the Legend of the White Snake the Legend
of the White Snake mhm so there is this white snake her name is Bai Suzhen she met this man
called Xu Xian over by that bridge somewhere over there the Broken Bridge he lent her his umbrella
and then they fell in love and everything was going well until there was this monk from one
of the temples near here called Fa Hai and he knew that she was a snake that was her original
body and he told the husband the husband was so shocked and he didn't believe it but then
the monk said give her this magic potion to drink and then her original snake you know body is going
to come out again and you'll know the truth so then the husband did that and when she drank it
she turned into a snake and he was so shocked he died that's not the end of the story though I was like
okay so then after he died Bai Suzhen wanted to revive her husband so she went to find some magic
herb or something to revive him but she ended up being trapped in the Leifeng Pagoda which is this
Pagoda right here by the monk until one day her son came to this Pagoda and released his mother
from this Pagoda mhm there was two endings to this story though one is that she reunited with
her family and they lived a happy life together the other ending to this the story is that when
she was released she became immortal and went up to the heavens and was never able to reunite with
her family I guess both are good for her cuz cuz being trapped sucks yeah but reunited with
the family ending one is better I think it's been re-adapted like many many times and this story is
essentially about forbidden love and it's about the love between mortal and immortal and we will
see a lot of like Chinese dramas Chinese legends about that as well because we believe that up in
the heavens is you know a whole different society civilization up there I think the real moral of
the story is that you are happy with just the two of you don't listen to anybody else that's
true don't listen to someone telling you that you know your husband or wife is not good yeah
that's when you're in trouble mhm so if you heard anything about me from anyone is not true huh well
that was a nice day spent in Hangzhou wow at the end of the day you still got the name wrong it's
a very romantic and beautiful city I think and looking at all the tourists you would know that
it's a very popular spot for domestic tourism yeah well next video we'll be taking you to
another province another beautiful city so if you haven't subscribed yet make sure to do so and as
always have a wonderflo day and we'll see you in the next one bye bye bye I feel very accomplished
today I learned how to ride an ebike I'm not very good at it but I survived I shouldn't drive it in
the dark though we should return it the thing is there were a few incidents we didn't catch on camera
what do you mean at the market when you tried to park and I tipped over and then I accelerated
and then the guy was like let go let go let me move it for you it was four policemen showed up
yeah but they were really nice about it I was just like okay I let go I let go now thank you
