Jacob and Jenny, the adventurous couple behind Jacob And Jenny - Travel, documented their exciting trip to China, their 40th country. Their journey started with a slightly nerve-wracking experience at Singapore airport while checking in for their flight to Shanghai. The process, though lengthy, was ultimately successful, allowing them to embark on their Chinese adventure. They exchanged currency, securing some Chinese Yuan, though mobile payment is widely preferred. A relaxing lounge experience followed before boarding their 5.5-hour flight to Shanghai.
The flight itself was longer than anticipated, providing ample time for movies and rest. Upon arrival in Shanghai, they faced another challenge: immigration. The process proved to be more complex than anticipated, involving multiple checks and causing some anxiety. However, they persevered, receiving their entry stamps and successfully entering China. Their next step was boarding the world's fastest train, a highlight of their trip.

This segment underscores their commitment to sharing practical travel advice alongside their exciting adventures. Their train journey proved to be a memorable experience, reaching impressive speeds of 300 km/h. The high-speed ride, though short (approximately 7 minutes), was comfortable and efficient, offering a unique perspective of the Shanghai landscape.
After their high-speed adventure, they seamlessly transitioned to using Didi, a ride-sharing app, to navigate Shanghai's streets. Despite an initial hiccup with a suspicious activity alert on Alipay, they successfully booked their ride, enjoying an affordable and convenient trip to their hotel, a Double Tree. They concluded their day with the warm welcome of the locals, experiencing kindness and hospitality throughout their journey. Their video promises many more exciting adventures to come in their subsequent China videos.
