大家都在说的“city不city啊”，到底是什么梗？

近来，大批外国游客涌入中国，一些爱整活的视频博主，创造出各种梗火爆网络，比如最近刷屏的“city不city啊”。

这个梗源于外国博主“保保熊”，他来中国旅游，和妹妹聊天时总会用魔性的语调问一句“city不city啊”，比如：“上海city不city？”“好city啊！”

因为声音过于魔性洗脑，“city不city啊”成了不少人争相模仿的对象。在大家的演绎下， 这句口语成了城市化、洋气、新颖，甚至是“刺激”的形容词。

01

外国游客来华

爆改“特种兵”

“City”博主迅速走红并非个例，如今在中国社交平台上出现了一大批外国网红。 这背后的原因之一，是中国72/144小时过境免签政策。

截至目前，中国72/144小时过境免签政策适用国家已扩展至54国。 其中，长沙、哈尔滨、桂林等3个城市实施72小时过境免签政策；北京、天津、石家庄、秦皇岛、上海、南京、杭州、宁波、广州、深圳、揭阳、沈阳、大连、青岛、重庆、成都、西安、厦门、武汉、昆明等20个城市实施144小时过境免签政策。

在政策利好的加持下，越来越多外国游客走进神秘的东方大国，感受华夏大地上悠久的历史、灿烂的文明与壮丽的山河。

网络上曾流传这样一则热帖，内容是有外国友人向中国朋友询问，自己的旅游安排是否可行。看着这份今天还在北京看升旗，明天就去上海赏夜景，次日再到广州饮早茶的行程单，网友们也只能哭笑不得，“凡尔赛”地感叹一句“没办法，谁让咱中国这么大”。

话虽如此，但好不容易来一次的外国游客可没打算放过这次绝佳机会，144小时即6天的行程依旧被安排得满满当当。“小老外”爆改“特种兵”，这波流行可让他们赶上了！

勇闯“新手村”的外国游客们，一般选择从北京、上海、广州等大城市入境，这些地方的航班班次更多、知名度更高、生活更便利等。

但也并非一路畅通无阻，许多外国游客主打一个随性，基本上不会提前做攻略，现金现取、路线现查。不仅如此，到了目的地的他们又发现， 如今在中国现金使用率较国外大幅降低，线上App支付、打车简直不要太方便。

起初，苦于各类App没有外语翻译又无法绑定银行卡的他们多有抱怨，面对高昂的国际漫游费用时也面露难色。

然而没过多久，这群外国游客就体会到了“中国速度”的威力。今年3月，中国人民银行发布 《外籍来华人员支付指南》， 用图文并茂方式介绍移动支付、银行卡、现金等5种支付服务的获取方式和使用流程，如此诚意满满的“干货”立即在外国友人的朋友圈“刷屏”。

目前，外籍旅客下载支付宝、微信等支付工具，支持绑定国际银行卡，可在中国享受“吃喝玩乐购”一条龙服务；更有超30个电子钱包可在境内使用。

此外，不想开通国际漫游的旅客，可携带护照或外国人永久居留身份证，前往中国电信、中国移动、中国联通、中国广电等电信企业的营业厅申请办理手机SIM卡，开通移动通信服务。部分运营商还在机场设置办理窗口或柜台，方便旅客按需办理。

带着疑惑而来

满载收获而归

来中国前，“落后危险”，不去！ 来中国后，美景美食，真香！

“我真的很欣赏这些视频，仅仅因为我们在媒体上看到的内容，中国曾在我的旅游目的地清单上一直排在很靠后的位置。现在已经非常接近顶端了！”

过去，许多外国游客对于来中国旅行一事表示犹豫，现在，因中国72/144小时过境免签政策的实施，一些计划前往日韩或东南亚国家旅游的外国人，本着“来都来了”的原则，纷纷把中国加入旅行大套餐中。

等到了中国，这群“惴惴不安”的外国游客深度体验一番后直呼： 中国确实“太不安全了，一不小心就胖十斤”。火锅、烤鸭、奶茶、烤串……根本停不下来！

这一边，有人一下飞机第一餐就吃到了“人生美食”，还以为是什么山珍海味，定睛一看原来是热乎乎的煎饼果子！再看一眼，还是在上海吃的，不知天津的朋友闻言有何感想？

另一边，有人亲临“人间仙境”，感叹丽江果然是“城如其名”，称赞其为最美丽的城市。

等一下，怎么好像和外媒说的不一样啊？这时，外国游客们才幡然醒悟， “原来我们一直被蒙在鼓里”！

“China is not what we expected.”（中国根本不是我们预想的那样！）发现没有，上面两位外国博主不约而同地在发布的vlog标题里写上了这句话。看似巧合却在情理之中，耳听为虚眼见为实， 实际来中国走上一遭的外国游客们，纷纷开始为中国正名。

神秘的东方大国揭开面纱，人们发现这里的街道干净整洁、路上行人热情友善、夜晚的城市热闹安全……

而那些我们早就习以为常的生活，在外国人眼里竟成了新鲜事。刷脸支付，太酷了！高铁出行，太快了！就连平时根本不被注意的大马路，都被外国友人盛赞：好安静，Amazing！

火火火！

China Travel成流量密码

现如今，人们似乎已经习惯了“中国景区长满外国人”的盛况；而在国外，带着“China Travel”标签的视频正掀起热潮，成为新的“流量密码”。

海外社交平台上，带着“China Travel”标签的帖子已达88.8万条。

许多视频没有精美的包装、炫酷的转场，只简简单单展现真实的中国景象，就收获无数点赞。

山城重庆惊掉外国人的下巴，奇险华山让人感叹大自然的鬼斧神工，张家界飞潭瀑布更是令人叹为观止，视频一发轻轻松松百万观看。

China Travel视频不仅在国外爆火，还成为许多中国网友的电子榨菜。 大家追更“外国人游中国”系列，不仅能够从另一个视角看到我们的日常生活，更是乐见越来越多外国人打破偏见了解真实的中国。通过一条条登上热门的短视频，文化交流的种子也就此埋下。

好吃、好玩又有流量， 尝到甜头的外国游客觉得144小时的“体验卡”不过瘾，又开始研究起“续签”。 部分外国游客在中国境内呆满144个小时后，选择飞往周边国家玩一圈，接着再重新入境中国，续上新的144小时。

哦吼，原来144小时竟然还能再生144小时！

无论是真心喜欢也好，或是为了流量也罢，这些“China Travel”的视频下，已经聚集了越来越多想来中国亲身感受的“潜在客户”。我们也欢迎更多外国朋友来到中国，留下一段难忘的回忆。

What is the meme that everyone is saying "city is not city"?

Recently, a large number of foreign tourists have flooded into China, and some playful video bloggers have created various popular memes on the internet, such as the recent viral "city not city".

This meme originates from the foreign blogger "Bao Bao Xiong". When he travels to China and chats with his sister, he always uses a magical tone to ask, "Is the city not city in Shanghai?" "What a good city!"

Because the sound is too demonic and brainwashing, "city is not city" has become the object that many people compete to imitate. Under everyone's interpretation, this spoken language has become an adjective for urbanization, westernization, novelty, and even "excitement".

01

Foreign tourists coming to China

Explosive modification of "special forces"

The rapid rise of "City" bloggers to fame is not an exception, as a large number of foreign internet celebrities have emerged on Chinese social media platforms. One of the reasons behind this is China's 72/144 hour visa free transit policy.

As of now, China's 72/144 hour visa free transit policy has been extended to 54 countries. Among them, three cities including Changsha, Harbin, and Guilin have implemented a 72 hour visa free transit policy; Twenty cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Qinhuangdao, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Jieyang, Shenyang, Dalian, Qingdao, Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi'an, Xiamen, Wuhan, and Kunming have implemented a 144 hour visa free transit policy.

With the blessing of favorable policies, more and more foreign tourists are entering the mysterious oriental country to experience the long history, splendid civilization, and magnificent mountains and rivers on the land of China.

There was once a hot post circulating on the internet, where a foreign friend asked a Chinese friend if their travel arrangements were feasible. Looking at this itinerary of watching flag raising in Beijing today, enjoying night scenery in Shanghai tomorrow, and having morning tea in Guangzhou the next day, netizens can only laugh and cry, sighing "Versailles", "There's no way, who made China so big?".

Despite this, the foreign tourists who finally came here did not intend to miss this excellent opportunity. The 144 hour or 6 day itinerary was still fully arranged. The trend of "little foreigners" changing to "special forces" has caught them up!

Foreign tourists who venture into "novice villages" generally choose to enter from big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, where there are more flight schedules, higher visibility, and more convenient living.

But it is not always smooth and unobstructed. Many foreign tourists focus on being casual and do not make advance strategies, such as cash withdrawals and route checks. Not only that, when they arrived at their destination, they also found that the cash usage rate in China has significantly decreased compared to foreign countries, and online app payments and taxis are simply not too convenient.

At first, they complained about the lack of foreign language translation for various apps and the inability to bind bank cards. They also faced high international roaming fees with embarrassment.

However, not long after, this group of foreign tourists experienced the power of "Chinese speed". In March of this year, the People's Bank of China released the "Payment Guide for Foreign Visitors to China", which introduces the acquisition and usage process of five payment services, including mobile payment, bank card, and cash, in a visual and textual manner. Such sincere "dry goods" immediately "swiped the screen" on foreign friends' social circles.

At present, foreign tourists can download Alipay, WeChat and other payment tools, support binding international bank cards, and enjoy the one-stop service of "eating, drinking and playing TESCO Group" in China; There are over 30 electronic wallets available for domestic use.

In addition, passengers who do not want to activate international roaming can bring their passports or permanent residency identification cards to the business halls of telecommunications companies such as China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Radio and Television to apply for a mobile SIM card and activate mobile communication services. Some operators are also setting up check-in windows or counters at airports to facilitate passengers to handle their needs.

Coming with doubts

Returning with full harvest

Before coming to China, it's dangerous to fall behind and not go! After coming to China, the beautiful scenery and delicious food are so fragrant!

"I really appreciate these videos, just because of the content we see in the media, China used to be very low on my travel destination list. Now it's very close to the top!"

In the past, many foreign tourists hesitated about traveling to China. Now, due to the implementation of China's 72/144 hour visa free transit policy, some foreigners planning to travel to Japan, South Korea, or Southeast Asian countries have added China to their travel packages in accordance with the principle of "coming is coming".

When they arrived in China, this group of "anxious" foreign tourists had a deep experience and exclaimed: China is indeed "too unsafe, one can easily gain ten pounds". Hot pot, roast duck, milk tea, grilled skewers... can't stop at all!

On this side, someone had their first meal on the plane and ate "life's delicacies". They thought it was some kind of delicacy, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be hot pancakes and fruits! Taking another look, it was still eaten in Shanghai. I wonder how friends in Tianjin feel when they hear this?

On the other hand, someone personally visited the "fairyland of the world" and exclaimed that Lijiang is indeed "the city as it is named", praising it as the most beautiful city.

Wait a moment, why does it seem different from what the foreign media said? At this moment, foreign tourists suddenly realized, "It turns out we have been kept in the dark!"!

"China is not what we expected.". Seemingly coincidental, but within reason, what is heard is false and what is seen is true. In fact, foreign tourists who have come to China for a visit have started to justify China.

The mysterious Eastern powers are unveiled, and people find that the streets here are clean and tidy, pedestrians are warm and friendly, and the city is lively and safe at night

And those lives that we have long been accustomed to have become new things in the eyes of foreigners. Face payment, it's so cool! High speed rail travel, it's too fast! Even the usually unnoticed main road has been praised by foreign friends for being so quiet, Amazing!

Fire, fire!

China Travel traffic password

Nowadays, people seem to have become accustomed to the spectacle of "Chinese scenic spots filled with foreigners"; In foreign countries, videos labeled as "China Travel" are causing a craze and becoming a new "traffic password".

On overseas social media platforms, there have been 888000 posts with the "China Travel" tag.

Many videos lack exquisite packaging and cool transitions, and simply showcase the real scenery of China, receiving countless likes.

The mountainous city of Chongqing startles the chins of foreigners, the breathtaking Huashan makes people marvel at the incredible craftsmanship of nature, and the Zhangjiajie Feitan Waterfall is even more breathtaking. The video was released easily and millions of viewers watched.

China Travel videos have not only become popular abroad, but have also become an electronic pickled vegetable for many Chinese netizens. Everyone is following the "Foreigner's Tour of China" series, which not only allows us to see our daily life from another perspective, but also welcomes more and more foreigners breaking through prejudices and understanding the real China. By appearing on popular short videos one by one, the seeds of cultural exchange are also planted.

Delicious, fun, and popular, foreign tourists who have tasted the sweetness feel that the 144 hour "experience card" is not satisfying, and they have started researching "renewal". After staying in China for 144 hours, some foreign tourists choose to fly to neighboring countries for a tour, and then re-enter China for a new 144 hours.

Oh ho, actually 144 hours can still regenerate 144 hours!

Whether it's genuine liking or for the sake of traffic, these "China Travel" videos have gathered more and more potential customers who want to come to China to experience firsthand. We also welcome more foreign friends to come to China and leave unforgettable memories.
