We visited Chengdu—the capital city of China’s Sichuan Province—and ate a ton of cheap, signature Chengdu street food. With the help of Trevor James, We ate some delicious Chinese wraps, zongzi, RABBIT HEAD, and a ton of other cheap foods!
Fellow YouTuber and food blogger – Trevor James (The Food Ranger) showed us a ton of cheap local specialties to help make this the best episode of 20 Dollar Traveling yet!
We filmed this video last week on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. I actually met Trevor last year the first time I visited Chengdu, but this was our first time to film together. It was a blast shooting videos with him; he knows so much about Chinese street food and that really helped me stretch my budget.

- U guys should make collaboration a lot more!!!! Its amazing seeing u two together
- You two guys are funny. And it is really that I think you guys live more like Chinese people than the Chinese people! LOL…
- Chengdu is my favourite city in China for how suitable it is for living. My hometown is Suzhou, beautiful and advanced city, doesn’t have a good breakfast selection tho. *sad face
- about that hotel appear at 0:11,I believe it‘s lazy inn hotel.I found that someone grows weed in the roof top of that hotel where customers can hang out their laundry to dry . there’s 3 plants. any of you guys are in chengdu now can go check it out
- Omg. I’m subscribed to both of you! I was hoping that you would make a video together. TOO AWESOME. Trevor is literally food in china goals. lol you looked like you weren’t used to the spice while Trevor was like “meh”😂😂😂
- no frign way!! The food ranger! I been subscribed to him for awhile now. another youtuber like yourself that I cannot look away from, very good videos from both of you! So crazy you met him!
- NOOOoooo!!! I did it again, clicked on this after I ate and now hungry again! Dang it! I remember all of those foods and salivating like a dog dying in bed thinking of those dumplings and imagining the taste as I remembered it. We need those kinds of places and prices in the West so we can spend like we have it and share the enjoyment with friends, that’s what life’s about! Do the street people do a FEDEX overnight delivery!!!
