An American Came to China and Refuses to Go Home! (18 Months in Zhongshan)

My friend is from the California Bay Area. Ever since he arrived in Zhongshan, China, he hasn't wanted to leave—it’s already been a year and a half! Here, he started a completely new chapter of his life. Working online, he not only met his girlfriend, but also built strong connections with local entrepreneurs and manufacturers. From playing basketball on neighborhood courts and browsing vibrant wet markets, to visiting factories, attending trade expos, and riding the high-speed rail across the Greater Bay Area (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Macau, Zhuhai, Foshan, and Dongguan are all just an hour away!), he has truly embraced the local culture and even learned Cantonese. Take a look inside his real life, his home, and why he chose to stay in China! 📍 Filmed in Zhongshan, Guangdong, China. ⏰ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 An American’s New Life in Zhongshan 3:00 The Local Wet Market & Daily Living 5:00 Pickup Basketball & Community Vibes 7:00 Inside the Manufacturing Plants & Workshops 9:30 Global Sourcing & Lighting Trade Expos 11:30 High-Speed Rail & 1-Hour GBA Travel 13:30 Authentic Cantonese Street Food & Wrap-Up 👉 Subscribe to @YouEye for more real stories, supply chain discoveries, and authentic life inside China! #AmericanInChina #Zhongshan #GreaterBayArea #ChinaLife #ExpatInChina #LivingInChina #YouEye #StreetLife
