Do you know what is considered real Chinese food? It certainly is not your lo mein, pork fried rice, and sesame chicken. We live in China, and are lucky enough to eat real Chinese food everyday. But the real excitement comes when you go to the countryside in different Chinese provinces. That's when you see the real culinary diversity show it's head.
Is it dirty? Yeah, a lot of the time...
Is it delicious? Yes! Most of the time.
Does it get boring? No.
China is known for it's food, so come with us as we go dig up some local grub in a random village in the Chinese countryside and compare it to food that we get in the cities in China.

It was like the Grandpa thought he had just became a Jedi
Plot twist: He is a Jedi and was controlling Winston.
i think he thought it was some animal lol
I really appreciate that Chinese guy he really tried to Speak English with you guys and been so nice to you guys
That young man was SO sweet, smiley and friendly! This video honestly really makes me want to travel to rural China, I love these people:)
They aint so nice to black ppl
Little did those folks at that restaurant know these two UA-camr's just gave them a shout out that reached half a million people. 🙂
He even takes pride in his farm, so you know it's legit
Beacause we study from primary to universy，and it will take many important exams
LOL, that Grandpa at the end was one of the best things I've seen on UA-cam in a while, and he whole family seemed great. That was one of the most genuine things I've seen on this channel so far.
Great. Old people are great.
I felt the same way. Absolutely loved seeing the grandpa enjoying the drone which he never would have experienced if they hadn't stopped there. Very cool!
@@jasongreen1595 I've always said that same thing Jason. Now, I am one! I've seen some amazing things in my life. I grew up with no cell phones because there was no such thing. Our phones were rotary. Just an example. Wondering how old you are?
Love your videos! Very informative! Thank you !
It was really great to see these gents giving the time of day to wow the grandpa, and also enjoying the fact that they're doing so. Just so heartwarming.
Some of the people you meet are so kind and open- I don't know why I choked up a bit when that man was so proud of your Chinese, and was adamant to invite you home to share a meal with his family. That was a very sweet moment. UGH, and the grandpa at the end having fun with the drone was so adorable!!! I hope I'm that keen to new things I see when I'm old and gray!
Sorry, I'm Dutch, but a Native American is an Indian, right? As in cowboys and indians?
Thnx. It's hard to keep up with all the new-speak words coming from the other side of the ocean haha. [edit] Why are people deleting their comments? Bunch o pussies I presume. This convo doesn't maie sense anymore, so weird. People have gone crazy. Fuck you all.
.UUUUHHHHHH
Right.
Oh sweet heart heart :) you may not live long enough to become old and gray :)
That dude's speaking a pretty good english, specially considering this is the first time he actually got to meet a native english speaker.
Yeah he seemed a little out of place for sure.
College students back home during winter break.
Weichun HUANG Ah that explains it, thanks dude
+Weichun HUANG Back home from where?
from big cities with college and universities
"Naw bro, I am not about that fish life."
Chinese slang is interesting.
***** Are you calling the integrity of ADVChina's subtitles into question? That's worse than living the fish life bruh. That's colloquial craziness homie.
that actually was a subtitle joke, what Winston said was just"no, thanks"
回复
Some of these subtitles are killing me
nihao -> "Howdy!"
Give them a break, they barely speak English to outsiders anymore ;-)
Nihaowdy
@Krissern nO
This is one of the best videos I've ever found on UA-cam. The kids seeing their first foreigner and the old man and the drone and the food! THE FOOD!
Honest reporting and good people. I wish tourism to China was more of a thing.
5 stars!
you know you're early when there's no unnecessarily angry chinese people disliking the video yet
This video's quite difficult to dislike
cement factory workers already disliked the video
> This video's quite difficult to dislike
Well they do mention that lots of restaurants are scammy / filthy, so at least there's _some_ unpleasant truth to throw a hissy-fit over! :p
Kikuli Kokuli someone was raging over the spitting in comments. Yup for those 5 secs. XD
@Kikuli Kokuli We have that in the US. Search Hell's Kitchen and watch it. There are some restraunts that's just as dirty in the US. It boils down to the owner of the restraunt if they are educated enough to clean their restraunt front and their kitchen.
I liked the part at the end with the old man lol. Rural Chinese people seem really friendly and the food looks good.
There are also a lot of friendly Chinese city people.
Excellent show! I've watched this video several times since you posted it and am simply amazed just how incredible this Hakka style farm-to-table restaurant was you both enjoyed and shared with us. The tour of their operation was just so wonderful, and particularly their frankness and sincerity to even strangers, which I find are the most enjoyable aspects of rural folk throughout East Asia. Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us of that lovely family. Back when I was in college in the 90s, many Chinese families in the U.S. would rent or sharecrop farmland so they could grow their own vegetables and sell the excess in Chinese restaurants and farmer's markets on the weekends for income while Chinese government-sponsored students with all their tuition and rent already paid.
as a chinese ，I think you chinese very ok!😃but my english not okey!😂 love you dude，from china!😍
Do many Chinese people like his Channel or is it not normal?
Matthias lemming, look at his recent videos, look at the comments, would u like him if u lived in China?
@@jiachael5222 That's recency bias. You should see the comments on their older videos from mainlanders and it's generally positive. Given their stance now and the attacks by nationalists.
Matthias lemming We like the old videos, not the new ones, the new videos are usually biased.
I am a Chinese yet I fullly agree with you that food safety has a long way to go in China. I dont understand why my fellow countrymen get so triggered by the issues we have. Keep up the good work, you guys are awesome:).
I believe the purpose of commenting on Chinese food on both good and bad sides is to let more people to know more about Chinese food and culture. This is not blindness but for educational and informational purpose.
There may have safety issues of the food in China. It is safe or risk as same as anywhere else in the world. Relax, 1.3 billion Chinese people are living safely at any single day with 3 meals.
虽然没什么假话，但是确实也没说什么好话，中国的食品问题已经改善很多，这系列视频对中国人很有启发，但是对不了解中国的外国人只会觉得中国既落后又肮脏，就像他们想象的那样。中国确实有穷人，就像人身上有细菌一样，但是你不能以偏概全啊╮(╯_╰)╭
潘逸飞 也不是啊，至少他们狂赞视频里面餐馆吃的东西，哈哈
李雪同学，我也觉得你很简洁很天真😅，从那光头看那苍蝇就完全能看出这是为了证明‘dirty’而故意为之的，还有跟那小孩握手时的眼神。。。不要太天真了，偏见无处不在¬_¬
I have no idea how I got to this channel originally because I had no real interest in China, but you guys have got me hooked. Your videos are very interesting and enlightening!
Joni Burt-Knapps now have you got a little bit more interested in China? There is another famous channel Foodranger always talked about Chinese street food, hope you like it
I like the wide range of topics they discuss, not necessarily the food. I'm interested in getting more broad based knowledge at the moment, rather than delving into one specific area.
China is just SOOO different from anywhere I have lived (USA, Europe & Israel) and it's interesting finding out just how much after watching each video.
Aaron Li Yes, I am Jewish

Shu Zong 同学你是没见过路边种菜的吧。。。
this is one of my favorite videos from this channel it's so great seeing the interactions between them and the local Chinese people really seems great people
It’s awesome! Few foreigner can go so deep in Chinese rural areas.
Dang, and I thought that the Midwestern US did hospitality best, this is just great. You talked to this guy for like 4 seconds and he is inviting you to his home to eat with him and his family. Then these totally awesome restaurant owners letting you see everything.
Midwesterners are assholes
My first experience of "real" Chinese food was in Chengdu and then in the middle of nowhere, Liangshan. But the food was amazing. I miss true Sichuan and Yunnan food so much. All the places we ate were really clean, and even the restaurants that were rundown and old, and they were pretty much picked at random based on where we were and hungry.
Also, tofu and eggplant are so well prepared in China, they're absolutely shit in the USA in my opinion.
U went to the right place for food for sure. Chengdu's all about food :)
the hot pot in Chengdu is amazing and the dry meat that they sell in every corner.
I think I went to all the crappy places in Chengdu then :(
We went to one place and had yu xiang rou, and some other dishes. It was no where near as spicy as I expected. Honestly, I have had spicier Sichuan food here in Melbourne.
+merinsan Did you ask for it to be spicy? Sometimes, in my experience at least, they would make it less spicy if i didn't asked them to make it mala. I assume its because they think foreigners don't like spices.
But you seriously missed out then... The first time I had Chengdu hot pot, I simultaneously cried and ate it because it was so spicy, yet so good.
Local from Liangshan. It's good to see my hometown been known to more and more people out there ;-)
Jiangxi! That’s where I lived! Definitely miss it a lot, and this is reminding me so much of the markets and restaurants I would eat in everyday. Love love love this. Thank you!
Okay, I know this video is a year old but oh my gosh, just watching this made me so hungry! It looks so delicious and the people looks so dang cute when they got excited over your visit! I love it!♡
This video format is a nice contrast to the regular ones! It's this style of video that REALLY makes me want to check out china for myself :) It's awesome seeing the genuine interactions with those restaurant staff. So glad I found your channel and binge watched almost every video :P
I agree. The locals were sure friendly.
Thanks for another fun video guys.
Dude that ending was so good!! Very emotional :)
Grandpa needs to be in another video!!!
yep
Agreed, another great video from a pair of the best producers currently active on YT.
same brightens things up :) doesn't it.
I really enjoy your videos like this. You actually walked around interacting with the people. It looked like you made each other's day. That family was precious, and I hope their business does very well. :D Keep 'em coming.
thx for posting. i felt emotional to see that family's reaction to u guys being there. great stuff!
I like how people ask to take you picture instead of just running up and stealing a shot
Knextlegend that's French.
goes to a restaurant and asks "有饭吃吗" (got anything to eat) hahaha you make me laugh Cmilk, love you guys, keep up the great episodes
饭是什么？
饭 is cooked rice.
Tao Hahahaha, I think he meant are they open or still cooking
@@nathanaelmccooeye3204 Hi,饭can be generally defined as a meal,like supper,breakfast,or lunch,
That place you went to at 5:30 looked awesome!!! Great people making good food from their own land. Much respect.
this video was awesome....I need a whole series like these. love the interaction and editing in captions is highly appreciated
That's cute at the end with grandpa playing with the drone. Another great video. I totally dig how genuine or blunt you both are. Great length to this video too, I thought the last few were too short... you guys leave me wanting more!! lol 😁 Stay awesome guys!😍😚🤗
I happen to love when Winston takes off his sun glasses. 😎
RENEE WHITE me too! lol. It's a Winston staple now. 😎
“Homegrown chickens” where can I buy chicken seeds
Love the Videos! I tell all my ABC friends about your fine work. Your videos are informative and insightful. They provide great depth and dimension to life in China.
This is truly an awesome video! Thank you guys for putting the effort into showing how my country really is, the good and the bad.
You guys are the best I am absolutely hooked on these 3 channels.. :-)
Marc I'm the same way. I love seeing the real China.
RENEE WHITE :-)... I've been absolutely obsessed ever since i discovered them as well..To the point that I'm actually seriously thinking about taking some money out if my savings just to visit some parts of Asia asap. Though i really dislike flying and the longest ive ever been on an plane b4 is like 4.5 hours...
3 channels? I'm missing one...
SERPENTZA, LAOWHY86 & ADVCHINA but I'm actually not 100% sure if ADVCHINA is a separate channel or not it might not be though the vids usually have the ADVChina channel tag and not the other 2
oh... LAOWHY86 and ADVCHINA was like one channel in my mind :)) merged in my head.
Wow what a great video. I loved the positivity and the hospitality the family was giving to the both of you.
I don‘t know why but this video make me feel so happy. It actually change my mood.
kevin gose I am sure because of the nice conversation
Because it's so human. Same here man.
@@abrararifify But now their video changed. Now they connected to fa lun gong and China Uncensored group with specific political goal. It all negative and doesn't have these feeling anymore. It is kind sad？
This was such a awesome video seeing you interact with the locals. Do more of these please.
We will also make some videos about some fantastic things in China
I enjoy seeing other cultures and this channel is a great representation of china for a foreigner. I enjoy the work you two do and can't wait for the next videos to come.
I love this video! It makes me feel so connected to my Chinese culture and roots!
Wow! Awesome video. I mean your regular stuff is awesome as well, but talking to people and getting to know the chinese people like this is really refreshing. I'd love to see more of this. Keep it up, both of you!
That old dude at the end, so funny :D
when u get old like that, u will be as funny
Keeping curiosity makes you interesting
I really enjoyed this video. This is the kind of content I want to see. Delicious food and friendly locals delivered with a side of knowledge. Glorious!
I wish I could have this experience! The restaurant owners were fantastic! This was so nice to see! Loved this video, especially at the end with the older man having fun with the drone! He never would have had that experience if you guys hadn't stopped there. That is sooo freaking cool!
Wow! I feel lucky to have found your channel/channels. I just love to see your adventures and this one probably ranks towards the tops. I loved to see how excited the people were to show your a bit of their culture through food. Amazing!!
4:44 The faces on those kids while seeing a foreigner for the first time are priceless.
wow people are surprisingly nice there!
They were so friendly. Even more so than other places.
They reminded me of my family and grandparents. My family was originally from China, but left shortly after WW2 to go to Taiwan.
Grandfather was. Fought both the communists and the Japanese.
Not true. I'm Australian with bad mandarin. All the Chinese i have met have been so incredible. When i give them shit directions i've had taxi drivers call into base or call a cousin who speaks a little English just to try and help me out. Without some people in china i would not still be here. some come up to me in line to translate when they see i can't understand.. we immediately become friends on wechat and talk often. within 6 weeks of my arrival i had 40 unknown friends from random meetings.
+Bird718 I have an idea who they are. i meet them in life and then they add me to wechat. I've added taxi drivers, randoms on the street, friends of friends. Many people are absolutely excited to add me and chat with me. Don't get butthurt because you were wrong. Have you ever lived here?
One of your best videos yet love getting to see the people in the restaurant. great to see how happy and proud the people are about their work.
I know I'm late to this video, but I think it's really cool how you guys balance the topics about china in your videos. You tell the negatives or the realistic viewpoints about the country's culture and its people, but then you also show the awesome positives about the country, like the people you were interacting with in this episode. It was pleasant to see you guys talk chinese to the locals, and how welcoming they all were.
This was my favorite of all of your videos - great job - I grinned ear to ear the whole time!
Tony Bell Same, dude. Such a wholesome video.
Winston doesn't even try to explain that he's South African anymore lmao
he's probably been through enough lol
I have to say that I love this video so much. Great channels you two have. Keep them going.
You guys are great. Good quality. I like that you don't afraid to explore. I have a friend who had lived in China for two years but still don't know anything about this country.
Great video, would love to see more family style restaurant videos from different parts of China. I live in Taiwan and travel (and eat) extensively, so many items you guys eat are familiar but still different. They commonly prepare bitter gourd with salted (duck) egg here, and I grow to like it over time (just like stinky tofu). Sanitary conditions are much better here, though, I eat street food all the times and while I normally get sick easily, I never had a problem here.
Another great video guys, and great promotion of a family business! Well done...
Another great vid guy's!!! that restaurant was impressive 👌 stay safe out there!!!
Guys, I love your channels and I honestly think videos like this is the best content of yours hands down; I wish you made more! I feel like this particular video has just the perfect amount of everything: scenery shots, you talking to each other and the camera and explaining things, food, and of course interactions with locals (which is imo the most interesting thing). Love it! I personally would love to see more videos/talks/interviews involving local Chinese people.
The young Chinese guy should be a college student or college graduate working in a city, and he is now spending Chinese new year with his family. He speaks better English than what I spoke years ago.
ERIC Sheng don't think so . This is his first time to talk with a native English speaker. All universities have native English speaker
One of your best videos in a while. Really enjoyed seeing the locals and your interaction with the people. More of this kind of thing please :)
They all seem so nice :) Especially the family that invited them over to eat at their place! It's so nice to still see such kind people.
12:39 "Really great stuff. Overall... eating in the rural China is fantastic."
I transcribed for the non native english listeners, like me.
Understanding C-Milk's fast talk is a real challenge. It took me a while to get to this point where I can understand C-Milk speaking with his mouth full of food. I feel so proud of myself. I deserve a prize or something.
I freaking LOVE seeing the locals' personalities. Do this more! I feel so much closer to real Chinese people than you ever get from the media in the US. Thank you guys. Keep doing stuff like this!
Really amazing video. Loved the positive tone and the great people. Thanks for the great video you two.
One of your best Dudes! Very human, honest and well shot.
I've binged on your videos last couple days, dudes. And this is the best one I've seen (up till now). Winston, groeten uit Nederland! Greets from The Netherlands.
This video made my day and made me smile
I never really see that hospitality and friendliness in suburban east coast America
Awesome video. I love seeing rural China, and honestly I'm a bit of a clean freak myself especially when it comes to food so I doubt I'd last long, but that food looks great. Love seeing how they grow the crops and keep chickens out back.
aaron 你连人家在讲什么都看不懂就别在这里丢人现眼了
So far my favorite channel on China. Good job guys ^^
Just found this channel randomly and I love it! Subscribed.
I honestly think this is THE single best video I have ever watched. Made me want to learn Chinese, and sad that I can't speak with people like that, and have those experiences. Amazing work guys.
So far my favorite episode yet so well done and so damn happy and good I love this video
Wow, another great video guys! Love the views and the insider look at things.
This is easily one of the best videos you guys have made. The modified translations provided a good laugh. Two thumbs up.
That looks like one of the nicer restaurants you've filmed. The food looks awesome!
Love your attitude with people in general....Not condescending, not fawning over, just nice and normal....
Love your videos!
Awesome video and wowsers, some nice hosts! Almost makes me wanna travel rural China.
Honestly not that any of your videos are bad or anything... But this was a new level!
Awesome Work!
This video was stunning, thanks again lads!
Great video guys! It looks like you're both having the time of your life. The restaurant hosts are so friendly.
Stumbled upon your videos recently and i gotta say, you guys are doing an amazing job
Keep up the good work
hey I've been following yall for about 6 months now and I have to say this was my favorite episode so far!!!! especially in the end. lol "don't mess with the drone grandpa"
Wow! You guys are on another level with theses new videos!!
I really enjoy your clips, well and the advice you give us is unparalleled.
EXCELLENT VID YOU GUYS AAA+ Nice to see that you take time out to talk to the LOCALS!!!..;-)
Totally awesome little restaurant there - it's really neat how they are going to the trouble to raise their own produce and poultry, coupled with the general cleanliness of the place.
These people really care about their chosen line of business. Also, since they can raise a lot of their ingredients, they can save money - a nice synergy when you can find it.
Funny thing is, I seldom had any digestion issues in China when eating at mid-range to relatively cheap places... a huge factor in this is the quality and amount of the cooking oils being used... that can be a problem anywhere in the world.
Great video. I like talking Chinese with the locals and subtitling it. Hope to see more like this in the future.
wow I come from Jiangxi and I just saw this popped up on my recommendations. Your Chinese is so good. subscribed!
The food at the restaurant you all was eating at looked great and I could eat that so easily and enjoy it. The old man near the end of your video seemed to be very happy with your drone and probably wants one himself. Those people enjoyed having you all there and they gave you the best they had.
this is probably now my favorite video
This is a absolute awesome video and a joy to watch, I love the great Hospitality and friendliness at that restaurant, those people were really super cool with you guy's...
Angel Velazquez you can see another famous channel called Foodranger
+Jian Yang Yes I know about it.
These videos are just brilliant. I absolutely love you guys.
Great episode! Such friendly likeable people and the food looked delicious! I never had any interest in even visiting China until watching your videos!
This video is way much better. No click bait. Capable of appreciation and criticizing things without being condescending nor staying always at the side of negative perspective or generalization.
+Youpie Curry like most of our other videos right?
I rate this video as, "Too Awesome!". You guys are great. Your language skills are enviable. Would love to try the food.
One of your best episodes. I really loved this one.
Thanks for these videos guys! I'm coming to china next week to study for 4 months and these videos have been really interesting and helpful!
What a lovely video showing the other side of China where people are genuine and full of hospitality. Thankuou I really enjoyed watching this video!! ❤️
That old Grandpa is the best. Looks like everyone will remember you guys in that village.
Amazing vid, I watched without skipping or forwarding.
well done😉
Hey guys, love your stuff! Boy, I miss China, your travels looks awesome, and love your interactions with the locals!
I would love to see more of those real live interactions with local Chinese people. Chinese + English subtitles will help to learn the language even faster. Especially because those are unedited unscripted reactions you would not experience in a class room.
