British blogger Jackie: Come to China and fall in love with China

Some foreign bloggers who have lived in China for many years also transformed into propaganda ambassadors while traveling during holidays, introducing China's customs, ethnic culture, special food, etc. to foreign tourists. Let's get to know one of them.

CCTV reporter Liu Lulu: It is said that "China travel" is popular all over the world. We really feel it on the Mutianyu Great Wall, and foreign tourists can be seen everywhere around. What do they want to play when they come to China? What to eat? Today we will be playing in Beijing with British blogger Jackie for a day.

British blogger Jackie: Not a hero if you don’t have the Great Wall.

As soon as he arrived at the Great Wall, Jackie started patting constantly.

Jackie is from Cambridge, England and currently lives in Wuhan. She is a professional English teacher. In order to encourage himself to speak Chinese, in the past two years, he has started to practice shooting short videos and sharing food and life in Wuhan. Unexpectedly, he became popular on social media. Currently, Jackie has hundreds of thousands of fans.

Walking and shooting, sometimes you have to have a live broadcast for a while. Jackie's video not only contains the magnificent scenery of the Great Wall, but also has some introductions to historical knowledge.

At the beginning of being a blogger, Jackie only received attention in the country. As his influence gradually increases, he keenly captures the booming trend of China's inbound tourism market. In order to let the world see the real and vivid China, he has settled in multiple overseas social platforms and began to promote China to global audiences.

British blogger Jackie: They asked me a lot of questions, what are you eating here? How are people? Is China very poor? Because many people have never been here, they don’t know much about it.

Although he doesn't know much Chinese and often makes jokes about pronunciation, he always likes to chat with street stall owners in Chinese with enthusiasm, and feel the most vivid Chinese warmth in the city's fireworks in the back and forth dialogue.

Due to work reasons, although he lives in China, Jackie has not been to many places. If he has the opportunity, not only big cities, but also the ancient towns and streets that he has not arrived, he has to walk around and take a look and listen to stories from different regions. This is his most passionate "Chinese Dream".

British blogger Jackie: Lijiang, Xishuangbanna, many of my friends have been there, but I haven’t been there yet. I also want to go to Xinjiang because I love eating mutton skewers and hope that I can travel all over China and realize my Chinese dream. China is great to play!
