In today’s video, I’m taking you along on my journey to China for the very first time as a black man, and trust me, I didn’t expect any of this to happen! From culture shock moments to unique experiences, I’ll be sharing all the highs and lows of my adventure in a completely new environment. I have heard many things about it and I was a bit scared to visit China for the first time, especially as a black person. I was scared of how I’ll be treated in China, also scared of people’s reactions. From the moment I landed, I was hit with unexpected experiences, cultural exchanges, and eye-opening moments that made me see the world differently. Many people have told me to avoid going to China but I wanted to see what this country is about, and to see if China is a country people should visit, so this video will give you an insight on my experience going to China for the first time & see if China would be anyone’s choice of destination when it comes to travel. This Is my First Time In China as a Black Person. I don’t know what to expect when you come to China, what will you do when you visit such a mega country for the first time, so in this video you will see my First Impressions about China, meeting Chinese people in China for the first time and for Chinese people it will be their First Time seeing their reaction when they see a Black person For The First Time In Their Country. Also, it will be my first time Trying Chinese food in China, and also seeing what China is really all about. I faced some challenges due to a language barrier as I Don’t speak Chinese, but in this travel Video you will see from my experience on how and why People Visit China & what it’s like to Go to China for the first time as a Black Person & if it’s safe to be Black In China.
