China owes its most famous beer to the Germans! Tsingtao as the beer is known comes from Qingdao (same pronunciation, the spelling is different due to two different methods of writing Chinese in the English Alphabet is the beginning of my great adventure conquering the North of China, I'd like to introduce you to it and let you all know what this journey is all about, join me as my big adventure gets underway! Although it was to be a rather short stay for the German occupiers (they would be defeated by Japanese forces after only fifteen years) they would within this short period of time leave a sizable footprint. They built a railroad, made improvements to the harbor and even opened a shipyard (Steinmetz 438). They would also continue to establish their Christian presence through the construction of churches, and were able to construct a brewery, whose first batch of beer was finished in 1904. The brewery has continued to produce beer ever since, and has brought the city national and international recognition. ⚫ Watch Conquering Southern China (my documentary) and see China like no one outside of China has ever seen it before: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/conqueringsouthernchina ⚫ Support me on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/serpentza Join me on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/winstoninchina Twitter: @serpentza Instagram: serpent_za My other channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/advchina Music used: Virtual Vice Artist's bandcamp: https://virtual-vice.bandcamp.com/releases ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRpb7Iua4dQ

There's a strange phenomenon that I've noticed here in China ever since I got here 11 years ago, people can simply walk into any book store or department store, grab a book that's for sale off of the bookshelf, sit on the floor (or wherever they can find a spot) and read the entire book! Families even make it a weekend outing sometimes and I often see grandparents taking the grandchildren out to hang out in the air-conditioned department stores and book stores to escape the summer heat, chill out, read books and it's all for free! Come and take a glimpse at what I'm talking about. ⚫ Watch Conquering Southern China (my documentary) and see China like no one outside of China has ever seen it before: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/conqueringsouthernchina ⚫ Support me on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/serpentza Join me on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/winstoninchina Twitter: @serpentza Instagram: serpent_za My other channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/advchina Music used: Virtual Vice - Sanctuary Runner Artist's bandcamp: https://virtual-vice.bandcamp.com/releases ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=950PYt9d1Po
