It was a fun character I played in my videos, but I think I've said what I needed to say with that character, so I'm moving on to other things.
Why did you choose Laojie to film this video?
It's a popular tourist spot, and I wanted to show what "real China" looks like during a busy holiday. It's a place most locals wouldn't usually go, but it's a good representation of China for tourists.
What's your opinion on the food in Laojie?
I didn't try the food because it was too crowded, and I suspect it's overpriced during the holiday. But I encourage viewers to try it and leave recommendations in the comments.
