I went to the city of Guangzhou to pay a visit to Bio Island, an island that is not only full of biotech companies, but also full of autonomous vehicles. The roads are packed with driverless buses, driverless taxis, driverless street sweepers, and driverless delivery trucks! This is quite simply what the future might look like a few years from now. But is it safe?
I've never been in a self-driving vehicle before, so I decided to take a driverless bus for a spin around the island.

And before tracking down my meal, I went to see what the village itself is like, and discovered a place where time has almost stood still.
A hairdressers where everything is as it was from the turn of the 20th Century. Preserved ruins. Hundreds of beautiful ancient trees. Ancient towers. And an ancient well that people still use to this day! Find out how people live in an ancient village, and stick around for the Shenjing Roast Goose!

(新工体 Gongti Tour)The China Traveller2023-06-14 | This week, FIFA World Champions Argentina are playing Australia in Beijing. Before that match took place, I got to go inside the brand new Beijing Workers' Stadium and explore!
This is possibly one of the best, newly built football stadiums in the world, and it only took 2 YEARS!
2 YEARS! Unbelievable. It's a stunning ground, and it's a vast improvement on the old stadium in terms of allowing spectators to get closer to the action.
ALSO, I had the amazing opportunity to leave Lionel Messi a message!
Let me know what you think about this stadium in the comments section below. I love it. Hopefully, it'll be full most home games. 68,000 is certainly a large capacity; much bigger than many Premier League sides.

Spoiler: UK loses.
And is everything bigger in China? Even the kites? So, during my recent trip to Weifang, in China's Shandong Province, I got to check out the Bohai Eye for myself prior to going in search of one of the most unique villages in the whole world. However, on the way to that village, I stopped off at a place that defines the local culture of Weifang.

Today, the station is an industrial heritage site and serves as a switchback junction for trains travelling along the S2 Line. In this video, we'll also be doing a bit of #trainspotting whilst appreciating the beautiful Beijing countryside.

Join me as I travel along Beijing's S2 Line, on the Hexie Great Wall Train, which runs along the old Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway, beside several sections of the Great Wall of China.
It's an incredibly popular route all year round, but especially for about 4 weeks during Beijing's spring time, when the route becomes surrounded by peach and apricot blossom growing on the mountainside.
There is a special viewing carriage aboard the train, with gigantic windows, and on its way to and from the rural suburbs of Beijing, it reverses along the line's famous zig-zag rail, and stops off at the historic Qinglongqiao Station. Check out this incredible route and take a ride with me!

They're eaten during China's Qingming Festival (April 5), with the green colour symbolising the arrival of Spring, and despite being a traditional food, in recent years you can get hold of some really funky flavours!
I sent some of the most interesting flavoured qingtuan to my mom and dad in the UK, to see what they think.
This isn't the only kind of food eaten during this period. Some people also like to eat river snails during around Qingming Festival. If you're interested, I made a video about that a few years ago: youtube.com/watch?v=kPZ8_f4d-Aw&t=639s
