ich habe so viele DE Kumpel, aber u r d 1 dat so humor, u guys so cute couple, nice Irish lad also, Slainte.
非常欢迎来到中国，而且愿意花那么多时间认识中国，可以再了解往前200年300年500年1000年的历史，就更能读懂中国。
Love you😊😊
I asked my 85-year-old mother to subscribe to your channel. She really wants to travel to China, but she can't go because of her bad legs. Looking at your China travel videos, it seems like she went to watch China with you. Although she couldn't understand English, she enjoyed watching it.
All the best to your mom. You can use the auto-translation for her on video setting.
中国的公交车、地铁、高铁、飞机都有专门针对残疾人的设施，包括轮椅完全无障碍。
@@andyho9670 Thanks for your kind advice. My mom couldn't understand what Luke & Naomi said but she enjoyed the scenery. Sometimes I interpret some content for her.
@@davidwong325 謝謝你，明白我們國家在各方面的建設越來越完善，對長者及各種需要人士都照顧周到。我們生活在香港，已經10年沒回大陸玩了。我們也打算回去走走。
@@watermelon-so-sweet很难理解你这样的人！😅
China is actually one of the few countries in Asia that doesn't overcharge tourists. A lot of countries in South East Asia will charge foreign tourists more.
甚至还有优待，因为觉得人家大老远来一趟不容易😂
@@user-el7mq3zy7f 也有载客的不过相对比较少 不像其他旅游大国 几乎全部宰客
Can't agree more.
Actually it’s changed a lot. Back in 2000s and early 2010s, basically each tourist location overcharged everyone 😅😅
@@smsmart1111 总的来说越来越正规了，相对其他旅游大国来说中国安全 物价便宜 人民友好 风光美丽
Both of you are wonderful human beings. When you show your respect and love toward China, Chinese will return toward you ten times more.🙏
中国并没有十倍的回报他们 也没有必要
有朋自远方来 不亦乐乎❤
They just experienced the true Chinese life in China, no more than that
it is wonderful when people of different cultures and religions show respect to others. Hope we too should show them respect when we visit their countries. If everyone on planet Earth is like these 2 tourists then the world would be a peaceful world !!
Hope you can get more subscribers.
@@llkk290 回報不是物質上的，世界上有那麼多中國人，同樣善良的回報何止十信？百倍千倍都是正常的，這才是善良的中國人的表現。🤔
I have to compliment this couple for their respect of the local culture. Little thing like clothing etiquette and speaking quietly when close to religious ritual. They are sincere.
Yes they are. Very respectful. Love their videos.
博主你們知道嗎？我喜歡看你們的旅遊vlog，因為你們的快樂能從屏幕傳遞到我這裡😊最重要的是，即使你們那麼讚歎中國，中國是那麼的美好，但你們從來沒有拿中國和其他國家作比較，很好地維護了不同國家人民的尊嚴，這是你們的教養使然，愛你們❤❤❤
that kid's english surprised me lol. his parents probably send him off for extra classes. donations basically to maintain the temple grounds. since you paid entry you didn't really need to pay more but if you went in a temple with free admission, it wouldn't be a bad idea to donate something inside.
The Chinese government treats English as a basic education, and its status is the same as that of Chinese, mathematics and other subjects. It is a core course and accounts for a large proportion in the college entrance examination. Since every Chinese student has nearly ten years of basic English education, Chinese people will adapt quickly when they go to English-speaking countries to live, study or work.
No, we have to learn English. When we are into school.
@@YangLI-mx3zl the truth is most of Chinese student never study abroad is mute oral English speaker
@@user-gc2el1bm6n基础英语教育没有很多的地道的英语交流环境，并且没有对发音连读进行教育，所以很多人并不能说一口流利的英语，大部分是中式英语，也跟平时没有英语交流环境有关。
Ye, this kids' English level is exceptionally good.
My personal understanding is that people bow to statues or Buddha images to show respect and reverence. As for burning incense, it says "three sticks per person" so it should be free. The box below is a bit like a donation. Generally, it depends on each person's ability and is voluntary rather than forced. There are many gestures and postures for burning incense due to the many Buddhist sects, but most tourists just bow. Burning incense in a temple can be understood as sending one's prayers to the Buddha along with the burning incense and candles, and hoping to receive the Buddha's blessing. The tall trees in the courtyard should be derived from the description of things in the Buddhist scriptures.
是免费的
yes。its free i am chinese.
It's just a palm tree 😊
我特别喜欢这个免费香的政策，虽然需要门票，但是香火钱本身可以带来很多乱象，免费香就省去了很多的烦恼，想要多花钱的人自己去买更好的香就是了。
@@user-mi9uv5pp5b 实际上寺庙都是免费的，但多数游客不是信徒不知道，会在寺庙的门口购买。
Thanks for showing us China! And for being respectful!
China doesn't have problem with battery because Chinese phones are well-known for battery life. And also there are portable charger everywhere in China. Just go to convenient store usually there will be portable charger you can scan and rent out for a bit and then you can return it.
没问题！正如标题：之前，没人要我们去充电，也没人要我们别去充电
出门必带充电宝，不然没有安全感🤣，可能是我苹果手机的原因
BTW when you return you can return to a different store. That’s the convenient part of it
And It's cheap to replace the degraded battery, you can get a battery of any phone for dozens of Yuan and pay the same price in a random repair shop to replace it, or again the same price for a heat gun and screw set so you can do it on your own
Convenience store charging bank costs are unusually high, it is recommended not to rent until last resort.
The little boy speaking English is so impressive, this means the Chinese Government's English as a second language policy is working. Chinese children will be able to speak the two most used language of commerce in world. Think about that for a while the most spoken language in the world today is Mandarin and the most English speakers in the world will also be in China ! How can the kids in the US and Europe even be able to compete ? Only the wealthy kids in the US are encouraged to learn Mandarin, even Trump's grandchildren are fluent in Mandarin because they know where the future lies !
👍👍👍👍👍
口语来讲中文才是世界最简单的语言😂
So true!
Insightful comment!
可能你理解错了，虽然中国教育水平提升了不少，但是这小孩子的家庭条件挺好的，请外语老师辅导而已。
Kunming has the largest flower market in Asia ❤❤
你说错了！
是这个世界上最大的花卉市场。而且，没有任何国家可能超过它！规模太大了！
@@songlintai1638 哇，那真的太棒了，我去年有去昆明，進去斗南市場看過，真的不虛此行❤️❤️👏👏👏
@@songlintai1638 但我剛剛查了一下百度，它說是亞洲最大喔！
@@user-me7zp5hu7b 原来你也是华人。你好！
云南省非常适合种植花卉和水果，蔬菜。那里没有害虫。这点全球任何国家土壤都办不到。这也是非常关键之处。
我是1970年生人。我的养老计划就是死在云南省。那里其实就是人间天堂。云南省是中国重大疾病最少的省份。那里，所有的食品都没有使用化肥和农药。而且，人文文化更是重要。那里，少数民族比例非常高。他们好客，他们善良，他们尊重他人。如果人类有仙境为云南也！
On the merit box is written the words "voluntary donation", since you do not understand Chinese, the incense is free, the donation is voluntary
We enjoyed donating anyway ❤
@@TwoMadExplorers 你们很善良，给你们点赞 👍❤💥💥💥💯
Auntie loved feeding the fish and turtles. So cute.
This temple complex has connection to the emperor. Ancient buildings in China with golden/yellow roofs are reserved for the royal family and buildings only for the emperor can have 9 little ‘statues’ on top at the side of the curved roof(like the Forbidden City in Beijing.) Lesser rank royals can only have less on the roof depending on rank. You can go spotting this different buildings all over China; also the ceiling decor is much more intricate and opulent for royal buildings.
9 is holy for emperor, like son of heaven.
我也正想问呢，这个貌似和皇家有关系的庙宇，有没有可能和云南段氏王朝有关？我们没有去过彩云之南这个美丽的城市，不知道这是哪个庙宇？🥰🥰🥰
这只是一个地方的诸侯王，并不是中国的皇帝。
可能跟吴三桂有关，他称帝后在昆明的皇宫就在附近。
等他们去紫禁城看看就明白了
Wow the little boy's English is of another level 👍👍👍, So cute of him when he was so shy and ran away 😊
Exploring kunming along with your camera is pleasant , Good!
你們去 昆明一定要去〈石林〉不到(林石)等于沒到昆明，还有全世界最大的 花匯市場，強烈推薦👍👍👍👍👍👍💯
花卉市場
斗南花市，人太太太多了
我现在买花都选云南发货的了
5:05 That is the most adorable and polite young man! He was so happy he was able to help you.
He’s amazing!
@@TwoMadExplorers So sweet. I wonder what system of English education he is receiving.
7:12 This is a *Giant Fishtail Palm Tree* Scientific Name: (Caryota obtusa)
非常喜欢你们的平和，欢迎你们来西安玩儿！🥰
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A wonderful day begins with watching your videos. Thank you for leading us to see a different China from different perspectives. As a Chinese, I have also been to many places that I have never been to. I have been busy with work and hope to have a spontaneous trip like you in the future. Once again, I wish you both all the best, beautiful and kind. ❤️
Wow, I’m watching right after you posted it 🎉 Kunming is such a beautiful place!
昆明所谓的四季如初。你说呢😂。好是好，就是紫外线强，容易撕逼黑。
Both of you are so humble believing in the principles of Do As The Romans Did In Rome and Mutual Respect
I followed your channel not long ago, and I am glad to see you came to my hometown Kunming❤❤. I am now studying in London and will travel to Ireland when I have the chance. The West Mountain and the Yuantong Temple are places I often go to. My grandmother was a layperson at Yuantong Temple, which means she believed in Buddhism and observed fasting, but she did not become a monk. I will come to Yuantong Temple or Xishan to pray at important points in my life. If the wish is fulfilled, I will return to the temple again to "make a vow" to show my respect. The locked path leading from the Temple to the Yutong Mountain is now closed at all times. Because this road leads to the Yuantongshan Zoo behind, if you want to go, you need to buy a ticket at the front gate, so the temple road is closed.
I'm sorry you didn't go to the Cuihu Lake, which is my favorite area. During World War II, when China suffered from the Japanese invasion, the top three universities in northern China were evacuated inland and eventually settled in Kunming. Cuihu Lake is where the greatest scholars of that time lived and worked, where they hid from the war, devoted themselves to learning, and protected Chinese culture. Not far from here is the former site of what was then Southwestern Associated University, where I spent my childhood. During those eight years, Kunming was also heavily bombed, and it was under such conditions that the Chinese youth and intellectuals preserved the spark of Chinese culture. The view of Cuihu Lake is also very good, and there are many historical sites around, as well as many interesting shops and bookstores, all of which were treasures that nourished my youth.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That kid is so cute. It's not amazing that he knows English. What's amazing is that he has the courage to communicate with a foreigner. That's great. In the end, he might have felt a little embarrassed and ran away. He's so cute. China now has English subjects in elementary school. From his communication, we can see that he takes his English class very seriously. Hahahaha
Actually we always have. I was an elementary school student 25 years ago, and we start to learn English.
I really like Kunming. Slow paced, beautiful sceneries, nice weather, and of course, excellent food.
You two are one of my favorite people. I love your China content. I love your love for the country and its people.
My favorite couple.❤Click Like first, watch later.
Have a good trip!
The script that Naomi scanned to translate is 普度含识. It is a Chinese phrase that suggests the idea of universally saving or ferrying all sentient beings (those with knowledge or consciousness). It conveys a notion often associated with Buddhist philosophy, where the goal is to bring enlightenment and salvation to all beings. The phrase implies a sense of universal compassion and the intention to help all sentient beings attain enlightenment.
Thanks for your explanation.
I was in Kunming last summer. Beautiful city and loved the cool weather!
The landscape of YuanTong Temple descends because the temple was built on YuanTong Mountain. The paths climb and descend according to the landscape of the mountain. There's a zoom behind the temple, YuanTong Zoo, which is our childhood must-go place. Yunnan University campus is also nearby, and it is worth a visit. Lots of historic sites on the campus. There are generally three types of Buddhist temples in China: Han Style Buddhist temples, Tibetan Style Buddhist temples (in Shangri-La), and Hinayana Style Buddhist temples (Thai Style, usually in Southern Yunnan, such as Xishuangbanna 西双版纳)
Wow, the little angel came to help you guys, then the task was done, run away back to his nest! What a beautiful scene!
Another beautiful day 👍👍👍，Yutong Temple on Yutong Mountain in Kunming, a very nice place. Locals find the crispy roast of pork belly rather bland and it is usually served with a chilli dip.
Thanks for sharing this unheard of region of China. Enjoy your explorations!
I can hear the birds chirping, everything is so quiet and peaceful, so nice. And if I remember correctly, I think Luke is getting more and more smiley.
2:02 It’s the first son of the Chinese Dragon loong. Its name is Bi Xi. He often appears in temples. Ancient Chinese people established huge stone monuments on the backs of Bixi to praise the emperor’s achievements and virtues. The idea was to rely on their divine power to ensure the monuments durability. I guess.😊
不是貔貅，是赑屃
Aha! Thanks for the honorary mention. Glad to help out with the Wechat situation!
Wonderfully exotic. Too much rhetoric between our countries. The people seem curious and wonderful.
I highly recommend you two go to Tibet after visiting YunNan province. You would know more about the Beauty & Diversity of China. You do need to apply a special permit but Since you’re in China for some time now , it’ll not be too much trouble. It will be the trip of lifetime.🌻
to Tibet you may need a special approval from China government, but you can easily go to Shangri-La city where it is a purely Tibetan county belongs to Yunnan Province, it has one of the top 4 Tibetan Buddhism temple, just go there and enjoying the high altitude ~3,300m
去西藏一定要看一下身体情况，那里的海拔太高，很多人估计不适应，会发生身体上的不适
Yunnan province nearby kumming city are lijiang Dali xishuangbana shangirila ..all tourist hotspots. probably then next itinerary is up the train to Tibet province.
this little boy is so amazing ,he could meet you that I think he was so excited too
Seeing the video you took in the temple, I feel calmer. Thank you.
Glad to hear that ❤️
love the atmosphere of comments here, very peaceful and warm🌿good UA-camrs deserve good comments🌷
Just wake up and a brand new video! Love that!!
I've only been to Kunming once, need to go back traveling more
OMG weather so chill in KUNMING^_^ Enjoy! (Greets from SANYA) planning driving to YUNNAN, hope to encounter you guys😊
So beautiful and serene. Thank you, guys!
Have fun in China, you guys are awesome, thank you
Not all Chinese people can go to the scenic spots all over the country，Through your videos, I have learned more about the scenic spots in China.
The fact is, in china, you can go anywhere, but, you must have free time.
2:18 The statue you see at the beginning of the video is not a lion. It is called "赑屃Bi Xi", and it is the sixth of the nine sons said to be born to the dragon. Its shape is like a turtle, good at carrying heavy objects, so the ancients often put stone tablets on its back, meaning that by its strength can make merits and virtues immortal. Under normal circumstances, the sacred beasts seen under the stone tablets in China are all it.
correct answer!
By the way, although there are many temples and Taoist temples in China, it is surprising that most Chinese people are not religious. But it can also be said that the Chinese have many beliefs, and they will worship any god they see, even if they have never heard of it before. Chinese people believe that worshiping God will bring blessings, but this is mostly for psychological comfort. If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. Just wish for another god next time. In short, Chinese people's faith is not as regulated as abroad, but relatively free. It's more of a cultural practice than a religious belief.
Always be with you❤
很高興看到你們又上傳影片！
The satisfied expression on your face after eating the food. Make people feel that the world is beautiful,
昆明不错的。我是云贵交界贵州一侧胜境关一小县城的，去昆明高铁85人民币75分钟左右到，去贵阳115人民币80分钟左右到（好像现在高铁票价涨了）。两城市我喜欢去昆明，不论看病或游玩 购物。
I use your videos to train my English listening, thank you for your videos
me too❤
My favorite travelling couple. ♥
one of the best channel with vlogs showing the true on the ground experience in China. Love you two.
9:59 "consciousness contains universal knowledge." the part where you are talking about feeling more connected to China through learning about the history, this is one of the ways we(Chinese) connect with ourselves as well, and you also connect with yourselves through your own history. I feel like the scripture Naomi translated resonates with what you are doing and it's as if you were meant to see that scripture. You two are a pair of respectful, curious, humble, and beautiful souls. :) btw I'm from Kunming and seeing my hometown through your perspective is so unique and refreshing and make me treasure my home even more, thank you! ❤
看著你們慢步街頭享受陽光與美食，真令人感到舒服❤
在视频里我看到你们为“敬香”感到不知所措！并且通过alipay支付了费用。这正是不同文化让你们误会了。实际上，那些香是免费的，至于费用是随意的，甚至不需要支付任何费用。在中国寺院里，那就“心意”！
不是呀你去五台山，九华山看看！
@@beadyyu2195 那儿有人专门收费卖香，这里没人啊
@@beadyyu2195 不管五台山，还是九华山，前三柱香都是免费
it is a donation and it is voluntary. its fine to take it without paying😊 payment is welcome of course depends you
@@beadyyu2195基本上寺庙的几根清香都是免费的，除非你自己有烧很多的需求，可以从外面带进来或者在里面购买
kunming's BBQs are very delicious,like Beef skewers and grilled Tilapia,it's amazing❤
24:56 This crispy pork can usually be paired with some local condiments, such as chili sauce! It will be more delicious!have a good trip!
Thank You very much,
To be honest, I have watched a lot of videos about foreigners traveling in China, only this couple with basic respect for China, . This is very good, foreigners do not need to love this country, as long as they break the prejudice, harvest a wonderful journey, and will share with their family and friends to introduce China, it is enough.
好喜欢😍 每天更新一个30分钟时长的视频！ 非常下饭😅
每2天更新一次😂
很喜歡你們的視頻 旅途愉快
Been following your channel since your travel to my home city Kuching. You both deserve my respect for being down to earth respectful.
Thanks!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yunan is my favourit province in China. Beautiful scenics. Mind weather. Good food (I fall in love with their Flower cake). Rich culture. Low cost of living compare to other major cities in China.
What a stunning place 😮❤
请问下朋友，你们是怎么购买到会员的，我没有，香港卡，美国卡，只有国内卡，根本绑定不了paypal，购买不了会员频道如何解决
The incense served in temples is basically sandalwood, which has a special significance for Buddhism.Broadly speaking, Chinese culture considers incense to be food for the gods and buddhas, so the incense represents the tribute you give to the gods and buddhas.
The kid is very impressive❤
21:30 grandma was reciting "Amitabha" while feeding fishes, it's a way to show love and care for all sentient beings, and hope to get enlightenment and liberation together with those fishes, hope to get rebirth in Amitabha's Pure Land together with those fishes
wow, can't wait for your next video. love from Shenzhen
Please visit Guilin and Yangshuo, too.
Enjoy your visit in China. Love from Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, where u can challenge probably the spiciest food in China.😂
I really appreciate the fact that you guys always respect the local tradition and customs, despite of religion difference. Enjoy your trip and thanks for sharing...
Wonderful couple!😊😊😊
那个小男孩的英文能力惊到我了，那么小，还听得懂
还会burn这个单词
Amazing video.❤❤❤ from Malaysia.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
amazing place
谢谢你们带我们游中国~🤗🥰 thanks for bringing us to visit China with your camera！🤩
Ich glaube du meintest Spießbraten Bröttchen (hat aber Zwiebeln mit drauf)
No biased. true UA-camr who appreciated others cultures. Thanks you. Always waiting for your update. I like you guys a lot. It’s a very pleasant to see your videos. Greet from nyc
since I started watch your videos, the beautiful places you visited, it like I'm 'having my holidays in China !!" 😅 tqsm ..I already your fan❤
I have been to many cities in China, mainly South of Yangtze river... 😁😁 My grandpa came to SG from Hainan Island in mid of last century...
It's nice to 👀 your video on Kunming, Yunnan, city I have not been to but looking forward to visit hopefully in the near future....
Last but not least, thanks for sharing 👍👍 wishing you guys a wonderful times in China !! Cheers ✌
City look very nice
have fun
Wow that was a gorgeous place! And you guys being so respectful and nice! 😍 Love it!
4:35 The tree is a very old fishtail palm
What a lovely child.😊😊❤❤
next time you can try to dip the crispy pork into plain white sugar or with mustard ... a very different texperience ....
hello. the 4 characters at around 9:30, translator app got it all wrong. In ancient texts, words should be read from right to left, so when read it, it is "普度含識“， not "識含度普“. It's a buddhism phrase, meaning" (Budda) carrying every one out of the sea of suffering". Literally 普度 or 普渡 means all crossing river, 含識 came from Sanskrit language, sattva, meaning all with emotions.
中国为什么有这么华丽的古建筑和保留完好的寺庙，那是因为至有朝代以来，中国的GDP大部分时间占世界的三分之一，在唐朝和宋朝时期GDP占世界的35%~46%之间，中国也就是这一百多年的低潮期，相信我们的祖国会再次强大，走在世界的领头羊位置。
wow
唯一你这个 他没给你点赞😂
人类文明进步就是不同文化交相辉映， 向二位博主学习用满怀谦卑善意的心去发现他乡的美好
古代的GDP从来都不好统计 不要人云亦云
别瞎吹了，后唐时期被少数民族欺负，宋朝简直就是沙包袋，每个大点的少数民族上来打几下
Love u so much
Highly recommend you guys to try the local mushroom cuisines. This place is popular for many different kind of tasty mushroom that only grow locally. Also recommend to try some restaurant food besides street food. That's where you can find the real local food that you cannot have in other places.😊😊
謝謝！
Thank you so much 👍👍👍
Please update soon, I can't wait to see the next video
我好像看到我放养的龟了😂，我就住在圆通寺附近。其实你们可以在圆通寺吃斋饭，11点开始每人只需要5元。顺便推荐一下云南的过桥米线和蘑菇火锅你们来的正是时候，最近经常下雨蘑菇非常新鲜。😂
Peace and love from hearts ❤️
Highly recommend Xishuangbanna, a city with tropical forest nearby. It is just a step away from Kunming
