China was not what I expected… | Shanghai & Beijing vlog

Video Description

I decided to publish this video in hope to help others not to make the mistakes that I did on my first travel to China. As a Russian passport holder I can have 144 hours or 6 days visa free in some cities of China, so while traveling in Asia I arranged my connecting flights in China to use this visa free opportunity. In this video, I will visit two cities: Shanghai and Beijing.
