I’m Leaving China | Saying Goodbye From Shaolin 🇨🇳
Hey everyone! UA-cam decided to demonetise my channel so if you're interested, you can check out my merch here:
ramblingbard-shop.fourthwall.com/
Just wanted to share about my last day in China-it was something else! I spent it in Shaolin, which was the perfect ending to the trip. I wandered around some ancient temples there, really soaking in the serenity and history of the place. They had this kung fu performance that was just mind-blowing, the energy was off the charts!
Oh, and I tried their bread-super dry but, you know, when in Shaolin! I also walked through a graveyard, which was oddly peaceful, and thought about all the stories it held. I was planning to take the chairlift up the mountain, but ended up hiking instead. Best decision! The views were incredible, and it felt great to stretch the legs.
Saying goodbye to China and its incredible people was tough. What an adventure this has been, right? I’ll have to tell you more when we catch up next!
Hope you enjoy the video!

    The last paragraph of your video touched almost all Chinese viewers, including me. Many travel bloggers have come to China recently. All of them have been to many countries and posted many travel videos. They just came to China recently. You also said in the video that you have been to more than 30 countries. I thought you also posted a lot of videos. But here, I found that your 24 videos are all about China. I want to know, why did you start recording and uploading your trip to China to UA-cam? Or is it just a coincidence that you started with Chinese videos? If I can get your reply, it would be very grateful! I am just very surprised, I thought you had a lot of fans Because your videos are very in-depth, and the travel routes are not as popular as those of other bloggers who came to China for the first time. By the way, I came to see your account on UA-cam after seeing your video on BILIBILI in China.

    I am very glad to see that you had a great time in China (from my perspective). I hope to see you come back to China again. I noticed you are very interested in ancient culture, and I think you should visit Shanxi to see the ancient sculptures. The sculptures in the Yuhuang Temple in Jincheng, Shanxi, are very beautiful and lifelike. If you have the chance, you should definitely visit. Love from China.❤

    After watching so many videos of Brother Sui Suinian, what sets him apart from many other foreign bloggers is that he seems to have always been a calm bystander, without too much emotion, just observing and experiencing everything. Although he is in the midst of it, it gives people a sense of alienation. Perhaps it is because there is little interaction with Chinese people in this brother's video. In contrast, the smiling couple, who are also in the deep game, record more people. The final summary of Brother Sui Nian is very objective, without deliberate praise or criticism. It is only based on his experience and thinking that his answer is given. He said he has traveled all over China, and indeed he has gone to more places than me, a native Chinese. He can see that the positive and negative aspects of Chinese society are certain, and we ourselves know that our development is unbalanced and insufficient. He can view China as a "foreign" country without prejudice and equality. It is already rare for him to have all kinds of "mysterious Eastern" narrative. I believe what he said in the end is that he has a completely different view of China, which is sincere. Finally, I really like the metaphor of "creamy egg", and I like my older brother's sometimes quirky brain circuits and his scattered wishes for a smooth journey in the future. I am moved by this comment from Bilibili in China

In reality, the Shaolin disciples and warriors still train in private at Big Shao. During the public hours, the Shaolin disciples and warriors are busy training in hidden rooms or up in the Shao mountains away from prying eyes.

    Hello, because my English is very poor, I used automatic translation. Thank you very much for your video. I feel that we share the same feelings and touch! This is really moving. If you are going to visit China again in the near future, based on your experience, I would like to recommend several provinces, Fujian, Shanxi, and Jiangxi. Shanxi should be the province with the most preserved ancient architecture. Jiangxi has some very beautiful and original villages, such as Wuyuan(婺源), which is known as the most beautiful countryside. Fujian is my hometown, and I am most familiar with it. I noticed that you are very interested in Buddhism. Quanzhou(泉州) is the birthplace of Minnan culture and the largest port during the Song and Yuan dynasties. In the past, many foreign merchants came here, which led to a lot of religious integration. This place is also known as a religious museum. In the ancient city area, there are Christianity, Islam, Taoism, Buddhism, and so on. In your video, you will be browsing the northern Shaolin, while the southern Shaolin is located in Quanzhou. Quanzhou also has the world's only Manichaean ruins, and in the lower counties of Quanzhou, there are ancient city ruins. Our folk beliefs in Quanzhou are actually very interesting. We have local beliefs, and these believers may be excellent officials who did many good things for people in ancient times. People worship him after his death. As far as I know, there is a girl in Quanzhou who was saved by 27 People's Liberation Army soldiers, so she erected a temple for these people. By the way, I'm not sure if you're interested in Taishan Island(台山岛). It's a small island in Fujian, very unpopular and not very developed. There are few tourists, just to see the island's scenery and enjoy quiet time. If you're interested, you can also learn more. Finally, I would like to remind you that in recent years, Fujian has become a popular destination for domestic tourism, but it may not be familiar to international tourists due to its unfriendly language environment. Jiangxi and Shanxi are not very popular tourist destinations in China, and there may be some issues with the supporting facilities for tourism, but they are even less commercialized.

I like the last long paragraph you said in Shaolin Temple, with the sunset scenery in the mountains and the street lamps that lit up immediately after your words, it was so meaningful. I hope that my future travels will have a strong spiritual core like yours.

    "Xishuangbanna" is the Chinese transliteration of the Dai language. "Xishuang" means twelve, and "Banna" means an administrative unit that pays taxes to the emperor (literally translated as "twelve thousand rice fields"). Xishuangbanna was called Mengli in ancient times. After the Yuan Dynasty defeated the Song Dynasty, Yunnan became a province of China and the area around Mengli began to implement the chieftain system. In 1327 (Ming Dynasty), the local chieftain Zhao Kan Meng was granted the title of 宣慰使as the local official who reported to the emperor. In 1570, Zhao Kan Meng divided the area under his jurisdiction into 12 units in order to organize the taxes paid to the emperor, which was the origin of the name “Xishuangbanna”.

Thank you for the final bit of talk at the end of this video, Chinese Zen is about thinking, testing and contemplating different aspects of life when you touch, feel and experience along the way, and that bit of talk as you climb the mountain really got me emotional. Thank you for sharing it, and thank you for all of your videos in China. I lived in the UK for nearly 10 years now and I know what people think of China here. Honestly, I did not have my hopes high when I started watching your videos, just like with others, but you are truly an honest man with no bias, and that made my day. Hopefully, you will go to China again in the future, and if by any chance you do, I have a little suggestion, my hometown Hangzhou.

By the way, when you walked into the "graveyard" you thought at 23:10 in this video, it's not "graveyard", it's "forest of steles", on each of those stone tablets writes different fraction of Zen buddhism texts and also it's a concrete way of calligraphy(art of Chinese characters writing).

    Although we don't speak the same language, your last words resonate wonderfully with our culture. There is an old Chinese saying “道阻且长,行则将至”, which means that the road is long and difficult, but if you keep going, you will reach your destination. Wish your friend would be well far away❤

    12:22 I’m confused by your remarks of ‘this area has a lot of Vietnamese heritage’. I had no idea what you referred to. Vietnam was part of China in ancient times and Chinese culture has deeply influenced Vietnam since ancient time to nowadays. Btw there’s a concept called the Sinosphere, also known as the Chinese cultural sphere, which encompasses multiple countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia that historically were heavily influenced by Chinese culture, norms and traditions. The Sinosphere comprises Greater China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam.

    16:54 People are praying for good things (like wish for health, peace, good opportunities, fortune, love, etc.) to happen. It’s not like Christianity that people go to repent in church.

    11:01 It’s a tobacco pipe 15:16 It’s 化州橘红, the skin of a special kind of orange/citrus grown in Huazhou city in Guangdong province, which is a traditional Chinese medicine ingredient to treat coughing with phlegm.
