Drinking milk tea with friends? That’s “city”. Visiting the Great Wall of China? Very “city”. 1 Quite “city”.
This simple question quickly caught the attention of Chinese netizens. If you don’t get it, let me explain it to you. The popularity of the phrase “City bu city?” has recently risen online. It’s used to describe whether someone or something feels urban(都市的), modern, and stylish.
2 It was first popularized by American blogger Paul Mike Ashton, known online as “Bao Bao Xiong”. He has lived in Shanghai for years with his sister and sometimes shares his travel experiences on Douyin and Xiaohongshu. 3 His popularity soared after he posted a video asking his sister “City bu city?” while visiting the Great Wall.
With “city” being used this way, one key change is clear: 4 According to Ashton, it not only refers to something happening in the city but also describes “something that gives you a great love for life”.
In recent years, many foreign visitors like Ashton have been sharing their experiences in China online. 5 Topics about travelling in China are gaining global attention, allowing people worldwide to learn about modern China and its way of life. Still, these stories are shared in an emotional, friendly, and natural style that resonates with many.
