Cleanliness is another point of comparison, with Hangzhou emerging as the cleaner city, despite its larger size and tourist population. Interestingly, Julie also highlights a difference in how locals approach personal space, finding that people in Nanjing are more respectful of personal boundaries than those in Hangzhou.
The vlog further delves into the local dialect, noting that Nanjing dialect is easier for Julie, a Mandarin learner, to understand compared to the Hangzhou dialect. The prevalence of Hanfu, traditional Chinese clothing, is also discussed, with Hangzhou presented as a more prominent hub for Hanfu enthusiasts. The vlog also mentions surprising encounters with counterfeit goods in Nanjing, contrasting with the relative absence of such displays in Hangzhou.
