This is CHENGDU - The China You Don't See | The world lied to us about China
I was terrified before I landed in China — turns out almost everything I believed was wrong. This is Day 1 of 3 in Chengdu, China: a city most travel vlogs skip in favor of Beijing and Shanghai, and honestly, that's a mistake. In this Chengdu China vlog, I land expecting the worst and instead find one of the calmest, most welcoming cities I've visited.
