Please keep making videos like these, this really gives such a nice look on life in China ^^ You are doing an excellent job filming, editing and showing us ^o^/
Thank you, Yan. It's so interesting to see all the different aspects of China. You have a generous spirit and open mind, introducing us to the many and varied cultures in China. In fact, you are a national treasure!
China is so beautiful that it keeps its culture and traditions. Yet villages have better life with tourists and businesses. The government has done well to build infrastructures to connect people.
Very interesting and also a beautiful video. This is really unseen China; not only "unseen" but, for many of us, "unheard of" too. I like the details - flowers, fruits, insects,.. - that you focus your camera on. Wish I could help you with those plants you showed. The second fruit does look like a fig but figs (Ficus microcarpa) are not known in China, as far as I know (they are known as Chinese banyan tree). The smell of alcohol comes from the process of fermentation that takes places (by the action of yeast or whey) with all ripe, sweet fruits. (This is how we humans have discovered and learned to "enjoy" alcoholic beverages, probably many thousands of years ago.)
The fruit on 13:26 is called cluster fig ( Ficus racemosa, 聚果榕, Loa, and other names) it is grown in many places in Asia. The fruit is edible when ripe, but taste less sweet than commonly Fig fruit we know of. Hope it helps
One can tell that it is a member of the fig genus because one can see flowers blooming on the inside of the fruit. The flowers are fertilized by a wasp that drills a hole in the bottom of the fruit, carrying with it the pollen on its body.
Thank you to the Blang and Dia people for allowing you to share the Shankang Tea Festival and their village with us. Jiangmai is a beautiful area. I really enjoy seeing and learning about China’s cultural traditions, landscape and architecture.
I learned the Japanese Tea ceremony (in Japan) nothing was said about it's origin. I've studied Japanese culture, society, history for over 5yrs. Greatly admiring the the history I learned, discovered.... However,I came to discover( Li Shimin).!!!!! TAIZONG!!!! My curiosity was fired!!! Yu.(xia),Duke of Zhou,Qin Shi Huang di, Wu of han, Taizong (I believe the greatest), numerous great Emporers.. China is the greatest Nation on Earth 🇨🇳. Returned to be the greatest Nation AGAIN... I'M embrassed to have held Japan in such high esteem.. Japanese culture society is based on Chinese society culture...Love Chinese society culture and China,(Deeply).... Finally found what I have been seeking
Thanks for the upload. Looks similar to those in north east Thailand n even Laos- the traditional clothing ( i only saw ladies); splashing water during shankang tea fest; the dances ; the traditional stilt houses.
Yan, I am obsessed about your channel. I really admire Chinese culture and history, been learning the language and to watch you videos makes me even more excited to travel to China. Keep up the great work.
You never fail to amaze me. Another interesting episode. Keep up your good work, educating us Chinese who have not been to those exotic places. Cheers from Australia.
As a British person, tea is partner put daily life. We often start the day with tea. Tea drinking is very much a social pastime. We have many tea shops. We have "afternoon tea" (a pot of tea accompanied with a selection of small sandwiches and pastries), though this is more of a special occasion type thing. We have "cream teas" which is a pot of tea with a scone and jam and cream. We refer to the morning or afternoon work breaks as "tea breaks" even if we are not having tea. Interesting to see where it all may have begun and being able to see the traditions and lives of different people.
Tea was the reason why the British empire wanted to use opium from their colony British India as a way of trade coz when the British queen heard from some British who visited china about health benefits of tea. The British queen wanted to control the tea trade. Tea originated in ancient china since the ancient times, before British empire was even established. Tea was already used by ancient Chinese people
Besides being educational, these videos are extremely uplifting. Perhaps it’s a combination of very excellent, professional delivery and that shining smile and a little “je ne sais quoi”: an energy I can feel being delivered through the video-It’s amazing how that works. I truly feel anyone who is feeling down can watch these videos and feel a little better.
It's confirm tea did originated from yunan! Jingmai is still the oldest tea area. Houses many ancient tea trees. Crab feet is a tea tree fern grown in the highland. It was discovered by a meng hai tea expert and it has many benefits for for health. I've consumed it before in the dried form. It actually smell funny, musty you can say. Some of these crab feet fern had been added to compressed tea cha cake. Yes I'm also familiar with bulang shan. These are the older tea area and as such their tea leaves are sought after all over the world. It is clean and unadulterated . The higher the tea tree the more expensive it is. I just go for the ancient tree leaves at higher altitude. We Classify them as organic in nature with no pesticides or fertiliser. The reason for my knowledge was that I've been drinking puer tea the past 23 years.
From what I have learned looking at research papers, no one is 100% sure about the exact origin of the Camellia Sinensis plant, but it is very likely to have first appeared in the area where the borders of India, China, and Myanmar meet. Where did you learn that it is confirmed to be from Yunnan? Could you please share references? Thank you.
@@minifix yr research was backdated and no longer valid, the Chinese there had found one over 1200 years old tea tree and was confirm it existed in china well before India. Don't expect them to tell you where the tea tree was located. Believed it'll be a well kept secret since they do not want other to meedle with the tree itself.
@@mikekok Please provide sources to scientific articles that are more updated than the ones I read. I do hope you are basing your statements on facts, and not just nationalistic sentiments.
@@mikekok I seen it on a documentary TV shows on Chinese Tea culture (CCTV ) a few years back.The thousands years old trees were about 8-9 meters tall. I always though they were just shrubs size. Now they have put up a fence around it and climbing up the Tea trees is forbidden. Seemingly there were once more Tea trees but unfortunately some were cut down. The village around it were entrusted to guard and protect it. I understand many Traditional Chinese Tea connoisseurs would visit these "National Treasures" in an out of the way location too.
Sweet little Chinese wrapped all around my heart. I really like your way to make interesting programs, even if I'm not fond of ceremonies and rituals. But anyway now I'm going have my yunnan tea 🙋♂️🍵
Congratulations on the tick of certification next to your channel. Truly well deserved and only granted to 3/10 of top 1% of youtubers, still a rare honour. Happy for you. Who can now say minorities in China are deprived? The rotating tables are also referred sometime as lazy Susanne hahaha. You looked spiffy in the lovely outfit, it suited you.
With all your videos you have beatiful music matching the landscapes and the content of the picture. I really like your videos, China has so much hidden beauty, thank you.
Thank you for sharing this excellent video with us, Wonderful China, very interesting, much history,fascinating. lovely people. Positive Wishes from England
It is such a joy to watch and learn about the culture of the everyday rural people of China. In America who is so young a country compared to others it is sad to know that so much of our rural culture where I live is being lost already. Thank you so much for your videos. Your pace and the way you structure your videos are so enjoyable and very well done.
One thing I really love this channel : She tells the history/background of places she's on concisely yet pleasant for foreigner to understand. I'll be looking forward to your upcoming destinations anyway, you reminds me to Korean actress Bae Doo Na. To me, you both looks quite alike
I love tea🌱 Living in Ohio in the states It is mostly commercial brands Except for one family owned store at the local market my friend Him He has the real tea from China and it is the only tea that I really love💚
I love the format of your videos. I hope that as your channel grows that your grass roots views keep up. You remind me of Anthony Bourdain in your approach to the land and people! Thanks so much for showing us the nooks and crannies.
Pu-erh tea produced in the Yunnan province of China is a tea that has been oxidized for a long time similar to black tea, then dried, and then aged, just like wine. Aging is done in the open air in rooms with high humidity and wind, and it creates changes in the smell and taste of the tea. The dried leaves, which are exposed to bacteria, moisture and oxygen in the air, undergo further oxidation and fermentation processes. The longer the aging periods (from a few months to decades), the more luxurious the tea is considered. In China, this tea is usually called "black tea", but it is not the black tea known in the West
Thankyou for this wonderful video. It reminds me of my time in SE Asia. Malaysia ,Thailand and Vietnam where I experienced a similar atmousphere in their rural villages.
Thank you so much for posting these videos!. It's very relaxing, interesting and educational. Your friendly authentic way of telling the story is very endearing. It's also nice to see a more positive view of China. Different than the views that are often shown on western channels. Also, I love green tea too. So the Blang ppl have my gratitude. You looked beautiful in the Belang ethnic dress.
Hello Yan I miss you, I love your Content the ease with which you engage sincerely with Locals and appreciate learning new things about the various cultures you visit in your life you are wonderful 😊
the ppl here looks very similar to the Thai ppl with their facial features, costumes, dances, sound of their language, water festival etc.. however the architecture of their houses looks distinctively ancient Chinese style. thk u for sharing another interesting part of China 👍
Yan, You are so talented. You film and edit beautifully. Your information is fascinating. These villages are achingly beautiful. The local people are so friendly and inviting.
i'm in love with this channel.. thank you for showing us real china with its traditions, people, food and other interesting things that i for example would never see except here. have a nice day!
I really love seeing traditional clothes of women in your vlogs, especially the elderlies 😍 Like the diversity and culture speak volumes from every textile and accessory.

Thank you very much for this beautiful video! I really enjoyed learning about the Dai and Buland people. Thank you for introducing us to such wonderful cultures and places. I hope you're well and staying safe. :)
It's a wonderful and interesting video to watch as usual, I enjoy it and add something to my knowledge, hope you are always in good health and looking for your next video soon, love you Yan.
1:06 I have seen many videos on this subject and I'd say you are the best. Your explanation of places, food etc etc so informative and lastly Yan, I admire your bravery.
Lovely journey Granddaughter. So interesting to see such colorful cultures. You fit right in in your colorful clothing. It is heartwarming to see how welcoming the people are with you. Safe travels and see you again soon. Marjorie from Georgia US
The British took tremendous pains to steal tea from China only to discover that tea is native to Assam! That part of Assam and North East is geographically and demographically contiguous to South Yunnan all the way to Xinshuangbanna and maybe beyond The Tai Ahom rulers of Assam were the Dai people Small world carved and separated by geopolitics
The Chinese have had been consuming teas for thousands of years from dawn to dusk. It's the mainstay of their daily drink from the rich to the poor. Their tea farming spreading from the west to the east of China where many variety of teas were produced. Tea is an important part of Chinese culture and history. The original Assam tea discovered by Robert Bruce in 1823 was more like a medicinal herb which the local did not consume daily. The British smuggled some of the Chinese teas and planted in Assam consequently.
It is so exciting to get close to the origins of tea (Camelia sinensis) which has spread to many corners of the world, all being different forms of processing one plant species - black tea, green tea, English tea, oolong tea, Russian tea and so on..
Thank you for this wonderful video! I would never have seen this beautiful village and suroundings if it wasn't for you taking us along. All the people you met during your trip are so nice and friendly. You teach us so much about life in your home country. I would love to visit China, but I just started learning Mandarin and it will take years before I will be able to speak with Chinese people. So your videos are a great motivation especially because you offer Chinese subtitles.
There is now a lot of handy software and hardware to translate text and voice and pictures, as well as friendly Chinese. And chatGPT helps. Enough to break through the language barrier needed for travel.
At 14:06, some gourds and pods seems to be sun dried by the wall. Looks similar to some that’s available in our Malaysian traditional markets. Thank you Yan, great input of culture.
Yes..!! Marvelous..! Excellent.. authentic traditional music and dances .. display of their natural and cultural identity [the Bolang People].. You are hands-on helping me.. (and as well all those following your channel).. understand some of the finest [and OLDEST] traditional/cultural ways and practices that are there and very strong in countryside China.. but unknown to the vast far-away places around the world.. I personally genuinely admire and love those VERY ANCIENT traditional cultural ways and practices that make China unique the way it is.. Thank you very [so] much.. (Sie sie..😇) Good health to all the team...
Destroying the gray, sad, plain Chinese people stereotype.
You always show a colourful, happy, welcoming China.
I'm so glad I found your channel out.

The masonry earthworks, the architecture of the wooden buildings, and the mountainous landscape blend together exquisitely. A beautiful place.

rit is not directly related to the european fig right? the fruit looks very simialr but the leaves look totally different
One can tell that it is a member of the fig genus because one can see flowers blooming on the inside of the fruit. The flowers are fertilized by a wasp that drills a hole in the bottom of the fruit, carrying with it the pollen on its body.
Fig is Ficus carica, so the fruit is closely related to normal figs.
Thanks!
