Selecting the favorite products and making a payment with a simple gesture, the 29-year-old Thai vlogger Yaowapa Sangjan skillfully showcases this convenient lifestyle to foreign viewers.
"Five years ago, when I first arrived in Chongqing, I was used to carrying a large amount of cash," Yaowapa said, pointing her camera at a palm payment device. "Now, I can make the payment with my palm effortlessly."
In 2019, Yaowapa came to Chongqing to study. After graduating, she chose to stay in the city as a short video content creator, introducing the real and colorful life in China to international audiences.
In Chongqing, mobile payment covers nearly all aspects of her daily consumption. Intelligent transportation systems update real-time optimal routes, allowing Yaowapa to tour the city with ease. And the self-driving taxi service adds a futuristic touch to her lifestyle. Through Yaowapa's videos, many foreign viewers have witnessed China's social development.
"China is developing very quickly, and it is highly inclusive. The life in the country is convenient. Whether you're a local or a foreigner, you can find your way of life here," Yaowapa said.
In her free time, Yaowapa enjoys strolling along the Nanbin Road, a popular tourist destination, watching the Yangtze River and the smart buildings on both sides.
"China is not just about modern skyscrapers. It integrates advanced technology into daily life, allowing people to enjoy the convenience brought by those innovations," she said. (Xinhua/Huang Wei)
