Talking About My City in Chinese | Real-Life Chinese Conversation Podcast 我的城市，和你想象的不一样

In this episode of 说对中文, Xiaomi and Dawei have a relaxed and lively real-life Chinese conversation about cities and everyday urban life in China. They talk about how foreigners often imagine Chinese cities as fast, crowded, and full of skyscrapers, and why real city life is actually very different. Through personal stories from Beijing and a small town near Chengdu, you’ll discover the hidden side of Chinese cities — quiet neighborhoods, local markets, breakfast stalls, small cafés, parks, and everyday human connections. The conversation explores many interesting topics, including: • Why real cities are not tourist attractions but places where people truly live • Fast and slow rhythms coexisting in the same city • The joy of getting lost and discovering hidden streets and small shops • How food shows the true personality of a city • The unique relationships between “strangers” in Chinese neighborhoods • Why Chinese cities have more nature and green spaces than many people expect • Small daily inconveniences that make city life feel real and alive You’ll also learn many practical Chinese words and expressions at HSK 2–3 level, such as describing places as busy or quiet, convenient or troublesome, familiar or unfamiliar, fast or slow, cheap or expensive, and the very Chinese expression “有烟火气” to describe lively everyday life. This episode is perfect for learners who want to improve their Chinese listening skills, understand real-life spoken Chinese, and gain deeper cultural insight into how Chinese people experience their cities. Listen, relax, and learn Chinese naturally through everyday conversation. ──────────────────── ⏱️ Chapters｜视频章节 ──────────────────── 00:00 Opening｜Why people have stereotypes about cities 01:15 How foreigners imagine Chinese cities 02:40 Small cities and slow life 04:20 Big cities vs small cities: fast and slow rhythms 06:10 Real cities are not tourist attractions 08:05 The joy of getting lost in the city 10:00 A city’s personality is hidden in its food 12:10 “Familiar strangers” in Chinese neighborhoods 14:10 Why Chinese cities are greener than expected 16:00 Small inconveniences make city life real 18:00 Language summary: useful expressions to describe a city 19:30 Listener interaction｜Which city are you in? 👉 Listen, relax, and learn how Chinese people really talk in daily life. #ChineseConversationPodcast #LearnChinese #SpokenChinese #RealLifeChinese #ChineseListeningPractice #DailyChinese #HSK2 #HSK3 #ChineseCulture #LifeInChina #CityLife
