I went to Guilin a few years ago. I love Guilin.China is NOT like we've been told back home. People really need to visit China to see the true China. I was pleasantly surprise at how advanced and futuristic China is.When I return home and tell my co-workers about my travels to China.... they refuse to believe me or the pictures I took. They just want to believe that I was shown around a "fake city" built for showing tourists. The fact that I was walking around these cities unescorted... still won't change their beliefs.Very sad... and infuriating at the same time.
You are fine there as long as you spend money there and don't bring your own opinions to Chinese. Some Chinese dude can move to U.S and can talk shit about Biden/Trump and even join the political group. Imagine you do that shit in China as an American ahahahahahahaha
We Chinese are used to this type of reaction from your coworker. People only want to hear what they want to hear and believe what they want to believe.
I love Guilin. Spent a couple days there several years ago. Good to see you getting your family there to enjoy the real China and not what the corrupt Western media portrays. I wish every American would have an opportunity to see for themselves the beauty and friendliness of China. You should encourage your children to learn Mandarin. Their perspective of China will be next level once they can communicate freely with the locals.
Many Americans used to visit China whether alone or in group tours until those extremely toxic anti China fake news propaganda started by Trump n doubled down by this old patato has created so much hatred n negative impressions that the number of Americans going there has dropped drastically. The US obsession for world dominance has divided instead of uniting the world
China prohibits drugs, pornography, guns, gambling, and rumors. Westerners are used to borderless freedom, while China has limited freedom. Some Westerners will not like life in China.
I can't even agree more it's the same here in BC, Canada China bad China or they prefer to call CPC. It's ridiculous how this western media can wake every morning to think how must they attack China. I was in Shanghai, Beijing that was an eye opener after the years i learned in school and Media how bad and backward China was. I was shocked to see how DEVELOPED SHANGHAI was. From then on i never go back to believing anything the west says. Happy to see your family enjoy the real thing rather through the filtered lenses. Have a good time and by the way you need to worry about the SAFETY it's one of the safest country on this planet. I walked at night and never felt scared in the contrary i enjoy the night light there.
wow , China is great , I hope people in the world will immigrate to China instead of US, especially Latinos and Africans . Too many are trying to illegally enter the US at the border now
Only if you go to China in person will you realize how hateful the western media is, the security, the architecture, the food, the convenience, the subway, the technology, etc. Only if you have been to China will you realize how amazing the development of China is😅😅
Yea development which pulls the wool over your eyes ... if IGNORANCE hasnt done that already ! How bout human rights ? Exploitation ? Slave labor ? Seizure of land from land owners ?? Extermiination of the Uyghur minorities ?? Tibet ??
They are really afraid..that American will come to realize...how a communist government...us doing a better job at running a country..then the liberal democratic west...that is the real danger of China...
Well, there are also run-down places, industrial grime and poor villages in China. Let's not get carried away here. Like all other places, it is a mixture of good and bad. But yes; definately more opportunities than 30-40 years ago.
Such a great vlog, I really enjoyed it. Life in China is peaceful, how I wish more people visit China end enjoy the Chinese hospitality, the friendliness of people, the variety of food and the high technology/luxury everywhere around.
I think in 50 yrs. When people arrive in China they will think it’s a dream. Well 15!yrs ago I stepped off the plane and onto the Meg lev train to downtown Shanghai and thought I learned lies about China for the last 16 yrs in school. This IS the future… here😮
Good on you for showing people the real China Traveling with your whole family. You are the only western family I have seen making videos from there, I am subscribing and look forward to watching your time there.
I really like those mountains. It's so unique. I'm Americans myself and I think China and the US are similar to each other in that we both have so many diverse landscapes. In fact, I think China and the US have the most diverse landscapes in the world. It's cause were both big countries and were both located close to the equator.
I am Chinese American. Sorry China beat US easily on diversity of geography. Not many aware China has the tallest mountain in the world, sharing mt Everest with Nepal. China has deserts yet some of the coldest place on earth, part of Siberia(if Russia didn't take most of it). Also third and fourth longest river in the world.....and lastly the third pole of the world !
@@foodparadise5792 both have very diverse and beautiful landscapes, though China bcos of its long history, has more old towns n villages than the US but r not as numerous n well preserved as in Europe. So it's no point to make a very harsh comparison. Unite instead of dividing the world.
You are right about the diversed landscape in both China and the US. Unfortunately, American politicians and media keep smearing and bad mouthing China everyday, turning the country into an evil. These regular and unproven accusations prevent Americans from knowing the real China. It's an awful shame. I hope this travelogue succeeds reaching many more people.
I am so happy to see your family enjoying China! I had the honor of visiting China last summer and I had a BLAST. I visited 9 cities using the High Speed Train and I enjoyed every minute of it. I meet many wonderful people. I plan to go back next year. 🙏
Always love to see American family enjoying your time in China. Despite what the media said you still have faith and travel to China yourself to explore the reality of China, thank you for the great content and your genuine opinion. keep up the good work
Nice to see a young family traveling together. China is really big and full of surprises. You guys will have to take many trips and 2 weeks at a time to discover China. It's also a fantastic for kids to go there. It's always a journey of learning when kids can go there!
Some would wonder how much the Chinese government paid your kids to say they had fun and liked China 🤦🏻♂️. So glad you enjoyed your visit and thank you for showing people the truth about China.
A beautiful episode brought by the happy family. The contrast between the real China and the China depicted by Western media is also an exciting point, lol
从1840年开始西方媒体就用眯眯眼辫子头作为中国的符号丑化中国，差不多两百年了。新中国成立以来就把（世界人民大团结万岁）的标语贴在天安门城楼。70年了，这个标语是全世界人人平等的理想也是中国人民奋斗的目标。Since 1840, the Western media has used squinting eyes and pigtails as a symbol of China to vilify China for almost two hundred years. Since the founding of New China, the slogan "Long live the Great Unity of the people of the world" has been posted on the Tian 'anmen Rostrum. For 70 years, this slogan has been the ideal of equality for everyone in the world and the goal of the Chinese people.
Nice vlog....I was in Guilin decades ago, interesting seeing the changes. Love the ebikes, no noise, no exhaust fumes. Btw, I also think the Mcdees and burger kings look and taste better thete.
Your kids are cute; always good to expose children to different experiences, yours are so confident and expressive and friendly. Glad you guys had a good trip!
I was going to say the same, they have two wonderful children. Children's behaviour also a reflection of their parents. They both are well manners. Some people will dread to bring kids to travel because some children don't behave well, sometimes become nasty to handle which cause problems on a journey. Their children had demonstrate they can handle the travelling, may there be many more exciting journey ahead of them.
Just went to YangShuo 3 months ago! Thank you for sharing! Bring me back with those good memories! I also went to that Romance Park to watch their show! It was really good! Definitely recommend it!
Did I hear "the best Burger you ever had in McDonald's"? This is so different than what is portrayed in the media here. Looks like a safe place to visit...
In fact it is totally safe practically almost everywhere and anywhere in China. Chinese are friendly by nature. Aggressiveness is despised, and harmony is embraced in Chinese culture.
I am Chinese. I live in a level 5 city in China with a population of 300,000. The biggest criminal case in my city last year was a drunk driving escape. Thieves are almost extinct. China is very safe.
You may wanna go visit Lijiang old town if you havent been there. Is in Yunnan province. Around Lijiang old town there many great places to visit nearby like Shangri-la Mt, ChamaGuDao, Shilin, Jiuxiang river cave mt, and many more. I would recommended to stay least 2 weeks to give enough time to visiting the surrounding places. Beautiful countryside view of ancient Chinese town.
Great video! We are also based in HK and have been planning to do the same trip, but the distance from Guilin train station to Yangshuo always seemed too far. But based on your video it looks totally worth it. Thanks!
Guilin to Yangzhao, Speed train: only 25 minutes. Just look up 12306. Over 20 trains from 10.00 to 16.00 passing through Guilin and Yangzhuo. I am also planning the trip to Guilin+Yangzhuo from Hong Kong, most probably start at ShenZhen North station.
There are many beautiful places to visit, West Lake at Hangzhou in the east and marvellous scenery of mountains & lakes and colourful culture in Yunnan province in the southwest.😅
One of my friend from South Africa also went to Yangshuo some weeks ago. It warms my heart to see you going to such a peaceful place with your lovely family. I will definetely say hi if I see you on the street in HK, :D. Love from HK.
Such an enjoyable video. I wonder if I'd be brave enough to get on a scooter. On another note, let me comment on something that saddens me - how so many Chinese viewers, whether they are Chinese citizens or ethnic Chinese who came from China or been to China, thank vloggers like you for "telling the truth about China." And that's because of the incredible hatchet job the western media, especially in the United States, has done on China. It should be a text-book example that "free" press can be just as much of a propaganda tool (indeed a more effective one because it is so much better at it) and certainly in no way should be necessarily equated with truth. Hopefully this too shall pass.
The US government literally have $500 million budget on anti-China rhetorics, profit above the truth or reality. This is the sad state of western media, people with critical thinking called it state and corporate media.
Yangshuo is just a county, not a city, and it is part of Guilin City in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (yes, Guangxi is an ethnic minority autonomous region, just like Xinjiang and Tibet), located in northeastern Guangxi, south of downtown Guilin. That's why it is one of the most well-known tourist attractions in China, dominated by pristine farmland and hills. Guilin itself is one of the most famous tourist cities in China, and as the Chinese saying goes, "The landscape of Guilin is the most beautiful in the world桂林山水甲天下" (the word "world天下" usually means China in the Chinese context). In northern Guangxi, for example, the two major cities of Guilin and Liuzhou are both karst landscapes, which are formed by the dissolution and sedimentation of soluble rocks by groundwater and surface water, erosion and deposition, as well as gravitational collapse, slumping, and accretion, etc. They are named after the Karst Plateau in Slovenia, which is also known as karst landforms in China, and are one of the five major modeling landforms in China. So in fact traveling in Guilin in addition to the small mountains and water on the surface, you should also go to see the caves in these mountains (travel brochures should have), that is also very majestic landscape. Of course, also because of this topographical feature, neither Guilin nor Liuzhou has the means to build a subway (too many caves formed by water erosion under the ground), and travel is mainly by land transportation. Plus, the mountains are in the middle of the city and there are rarely large flat and open areas, so the roads will be narrower than in other cities. In this kind of terrain, cars that are prone to traffic jams are very unsuitable, and an electric motorcycle or a small Wuling Baojun two-seater (like a Mercedes-Benz Smart) is the ideal private transportation.
Yeah... I LOVE ❤ CHINA too... China has always been top on my list for my holiday travels. But I selfishly prefer that the western media stay away from China, so that we can see more of the China brands (and not MacDonalds, Walmart and Starbucks). I'd rather stay home if I have to eat burgers and drink Starbucks which I'm already so sick of....😂
Thanks for sharing such amazing trip which reminds my memory in Yangshuo, Guilin about 2 months ago on the last day of my trip, in the same way of riding the rental electric bicycle along that same river, enjoying the same beautiful scenery...
So good for the kids… Excellent video. Likewise I’ve been doing the same for my Son, but not only to China, but everywhere. But China is special as my Son is 50% Chinese. These experiences is the hope for humanity… it is these types of Americans that keep my faith in Americans alive. It is so so rare. These can be the potential future peace makers. Education and awareness so one doesn’t get so easily fooled by MSM and their globalist overlords. Plan on going back again in 2024 with family for the 4th time 😊
I think that by taking your kids to china it will make them want to come back when they are all grown up because they will have good memories of the country.
An excellent video, so relaxing and enjoyable seing how a wonderful young family enjoyed this little holiday in China. Thank you and hope to see you back in China. God Bless you all p.s. better watchit China can be adictive, I came here almost 20 years ago and stayed for good .... the more you stay the more you love it
Thanks for speaking out for China, telling how China is like. But just a kind reminder, that the map of China in the front page is incorrect. you missed the two island provinces: Taiwan and Hainan, which are the two legs of the big Rooster.
Your family is so beautiful ❤ I’m Chinese and Filipino but born in the US and haven’t been to China since I was a little child. I’m so jealous! Seriously though, you make me want to visit because it just looks so amazing. I’m glad you’re happy and comfortable and people seem to be treating you nicely. Best wishes and Merry Christmas.
This is a misunderstanding. Residents of Guangxi can go to Hong Kong and Macau at any time without a visa. But you need to be a Travel Resident, which is also what you need to do when going from Hong Kong to Guilin, Guangxi. The registration fee is approximately fifteen dollars. China is a huge country, and many people have never been to big cities like Beijing, Hong Kong, Chongqing, Chengdu, Wuhan, Shanghai, and Guangzhou in their lives. Just like residents of Seattle and San Francisco, they may have never been to Washington in their lives. Or to put it another way, it’s like most Americans have never been to Alaska in their lives. The Hong Kong dollars in your hand are probably like chips in an Alaska casino. Everyone is just curious.
@@Lee-dc3uu To apply for a VISA for any country, you must go to an embassy or apply online. There are no embassies in mainland China for Hong Kong or Macau, and there is no online application or visa on arrival.
It is interesting to find there are Chinese totem poles similar to the Native American totem poles. It is thought the Native Americans migrated from Northern China/Siberia to America by crossing the Bering Strait when it was a land bridge about 20,000 to 30,000 years ago.
Your family is so cool. The quality of your camera is not great, but your video is still great with your beautiful family and amazing scenery of Guilin. 😎
Its wonderful to see your family experiencing the marvels of China. Its a huge country with unique landscapes. And like most countries, regular folks who live there are curious and friendly. But the premise is a little insulting to be honest. Not even the most Sino-phobic person in the world would think there isn't beautiful places and good eats in China. Geopolitics matters. Why would mainstream media in the West write a puff piece about amazing places in China when there are amazing places elsewhere? Demonizing any country is bad but it makes little sense for Western media to promote China's beauty. To be more cryptic, China has a soft-power deficiency.
When the US government have an $500 million on anti-China rhetorics, It’s called state and sponsored propaganda. Journalists are supposed to report the truth and reality regardless, not lies and deceptions. That’s why increasingly number of its citizens no longer trust the corporate media.
I've visited Yangshuo about 10 years back. It is a beautiful place. West St is just as busy as it was. The Li River has some significant importance to the people of the area. And yes I'll also come back.
The train looks nice - classic Shinkansen 3+2 seating setup. A little too narrow for some of the bigger westerners, but smooth and comfortable ride, like in Japan.
Stunning scenery. Thank you for sharing. One tip: you might want to work harder on the 'transitions' between different scenes or themes. The pace was too 'abrupt' and 'random' throughout the video that it actually gave me a slight headache. Just when I was beginning to take in the overall feel or scenery of a particular section, the video just moved on at warp speed to the next one.

Yangshuo is just a county, not a city, and it is part of Guilin City in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (yes, Guangxi is an ethnic minority autonomous region, just like Xinjiang and Tibet), located in northeastern Guangxi, south of downtown Guilin. That's why it is one of the most well-known tourist attractions in China, dominated by pristine farmland and hills.
Guilin itself is one of the most famous tourist cities in China, and as the Chinese saying goes, "The landscape of Guilin is the most beautiful in the world桂林山水甲天下" (the word "world天下" usually means China in the Chinese context).
In northern Guangxi, for example, the two major cities of Guilin and Liuzhou are both karst landscapes, which are formed by the dissolution and sedimentation of soluble rocks by groundwater and surface water, erosion and deposition, as well as gravitational collapse, slumping, and accretion, etc. They are named after the Karst Plateau in Slovenia, which is also known as karst landforms in China, and are one of the five major modeling landforms in China. So in fact traveling in Guilin in addition to the small mountains and water on the surface, you should also go to see the caves in these mountains (travel brochures should have), that is also very majestic landscape.
Of course, also because of this topographical feature, neither Guilin nor Liuzhou has the means to build a subway (too many caves formed by water erosion under the ground), and travel is mainly by land transportation. Plus, the mountains are in the middle of the city and there are rarely large flat and open areas, so the roads will be narrower than in other cities. In this kind of terrain, cars that are prone to traffic jams are very unsuitable, and an electric motorcycle or a small Wuling Baojun two-seater (like a Mercedes-Benz Smart) is the ideal private transportation.
Yeah... I LOVE ❤ CHINA too... China has always been top on my list for my holiday travels. But I selfishly prefer that the western media stay away from China, so that we can see more of the China brands (and not MacDonalds, Walmart and Starbucks). I'd rather stay home if I have to eat burgers and drink Starbucks which I'm already so sick of....😂
I only eat mcD in sg 18:57 when they r 50% off. When I was brought to mcD by tour bus in USA I went hungry. Afraid of hormones n additives.
Scenery at 5:07 was stunning!
Your daughter is so grown up, I enjoyed her commentary when she was on the bike
Wow the pictures a great. I will try to visit China maybe in 2 years.
Welcome to travel to China! Welcome to book your itinerary with me!
Thank you for sharing the facts of China! Beautiful sceneries 👏. Have a wonderful trip!
These type of videos are why I still watch YT. Plz keep sharing your experiences. Subbed.
Thanks, will do!
Your kids are so adorable they actually enjoy playing outdoor with you guys, unlike my own 2 sons only enjoy their video games😂
Thanks for sharing such amazing trip which reminds my memory in Yangshuo, Guilin about 2 months ago on the last day of my trip, in the same way of riding the rental electric bicycle along that same river, enjoying the same beautiful scenery...
So good for the kids… Excellent video. Likewise I’ve been doing the same for my Son, but not only to China, but everywhere. But China is special as my Son is 50% Chinese. These experiences is the hope for humanity… it is these types of Americans that keep my faith in Americans alive. It is so so rare. These can be the potential future peace makers. Education and awareness so one doesn’t get so easily fooled by MSM and their globalist overlords. Plan on going back again in 2024 with family for the 4th time 😊
I think that by taking your kids to china it will make them want to come back when they are all grown up because they will have good memories of the country.
100% ..they will not grow up w/ racial prejudice in their heart like so many American born and raised children
An excellent video, so relaxing and enjoyable seing how a wonderful young family enjoyed this little holiday in China. Thank you and hope to see you back in China. God Bless you all
p.s. better watchit China can be adictive, I came here almost 20 years ago and stayed for good .... the more you stay the more you love it
Thanks for speaking out for China, telling how China is like. But just a kind reminder, that the map of China in the front page is incorrect. you missed the two island provinces: Taiwan and Hainan, which are the two legs of the big Rooster.
Thanks for the info!
Taiwan does not belong to mainland China. It’s an own democratic country. No matter how many times you say it, that won’t change anything.
Taiwan will never be part of China. China needs to learn from their past mistakes and live in a harmonious society.
偶然间看到这段VLOG，毫不犹豫的订阅了，你妻子的笑容很美，还有两个可爱的小天使
Your family is so beautiful ❤ I’m Chinese and Filipino but born in the US and haven’t been to China since I was a little child. I’m so jealous!
Seriously though, you make me want to visit because it just looks so amazing. I’m glad you’re happy and comfortable and people seem to be treating you nicely. Best wishes and Merry Christmas.
This is a misunderstanding. Residents of Guangxi can go to Hong Kong and Macau at any time without a visa.
But you need to be a Travel Resident, which is also what you need to do when going from Hong Kong to Guilin, Guangxi.
The registration fee is approximately fifteen dollars.
China is a huge country, and many people have never been to big cities like Beijing, Hong Kong, Chongqing, Chengdu, Wuhan, Shanghai, and Guangzhou in their lives.
Just like residents of Seattle and San Francisco, they may have never been to Washington in their lives.
Or to put it another way, it’s like most Americans have never been to Alaska in their lives.
The Hong Kong dollars in your hand are probably like chips in an Alaska casino. Everyone is just curious.
thanks to explain
Thanks for clarification! I was going off of what HK website said but I may have to read it again.
@@Lee-dc3uu To apply for a VISA for any country, you must go to an embassy or apply online.
There are no embassies in mainland China for Hong Kong or Macau, and there is no online application or visa on arrival.
It is interesting to find there are Chinese totem poles similar to the Native American totem poles. It is thought the Native Americans migrated from Northern China/Siberia to America by crossing the Bering Strait when it was a land bridge about 20,000 to 30,000 years ago.
是的，但由于没有什么政治意义和经济意义，国家也没有推动这两种文化的深入研究。
Agreed! Super interesting!
I'm going to Zhangjiajie next week. Avatar, you bet!
Crikey. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing family
What a beautiful family..wishing you all good things ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow what a great experience for your family especially your kids!! ❤❤
You provide awesome time to kids opening eyes to see world. Boy exclaimed "WOW" when he saw the high-speed train
Really enjoyed your video. Please make more videos on China!
Real beautiful, China seems to build with family at the center, so much effort for children to enjoy being a child.
I like your channel as much as I like China.❤
Great video , thank you for sharing 👍👍👍🙏
Nice! Very classic.
Your family is so cool.
The quality of your camera is not great, but your video is still great with your beautiful family and amazing scenery of Guilin. 😎
Just found your channel, thank you for sharing your adventure, can't wait to go to china.
Thanks for sharing and love your well-behaved kids👍👍
You guys have a nice video and beautiful scenery.
If you need help in China, don’t be shy and politely ask the people around you.Even if they can't help you directly, they will give you solutions
So beautiful.
Thanks from Vietnam
It is not far from Vietnam, so the scenery and landscape are kind of similar, the local food, language and culture are related to northern Vietnam.😅
Its wonderful to see your family experiencing the marvels of China. Its a huge country with unique landscapes. And like most countries, regular folks who live there are curious and friendly. But the premise is a little insulting to be honest. Not even the most Sino-phobic person in the world would think there isn't beautiful places and good eats in China. Geopolitics matters. Why would mainstream media in the West write a puff piece about amazing places in China when there are amazing places elsewhere? Demonizing any country is bad but it makes little sense for Western media to promote China's beauty. To be more cryptic, China has a soft-power deficiency.
When the US government have an $500 million on anti-China rhetorics, It’s called state and sponsored propaganda. Journalists are supposed to report the truth and reality regardless, not lies and deceptions. That’s why increasingly number of its citizens no longer trust the corporate media.
I've visited Yangshuo about 10 years back. It is a beautiful place. West St is just as busy as it was. The Li River has some significant importance to the people of the area. And yes I'll also come back.
Respected people speaking up for all humanity ❤😂🎉🎉🎉 the truth ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Happy family, I hope you have a good time in Chinese Mainland！
Try to come to Gulin in Summer and enjoy the blue sky.
The train looks nice - classic Shinkansen 3+2 seating setup. A little too narrow for some of the bigger westerners, but smooth and comfortable ride, like in Japan.
Next time when you go to Yangshuo, try to book a cruise trip starting from Guilin. Much more beautiful along the way
Congatz on video being so popular! I guess these china travel videos are very popular. You guys should try to enjoy some more authentic chinese foods😂
damn, this really deserve much more view than 7k
welcome to my country.have a good time.and welcome to Yunnan.my hometown
Enjoyed watching you great video. Keep up the good taping of more your China trip.
A warm family really, impressed by the beautiful seane
I admire you guys travel with kids. It is 1.5 times of labor if not doubled.
Stunning scenery. Thank you for sharing. One tip: you might want to work harder on the 'transitions' between different scenes or themes.
The pace was too 'abrupt' and 'random' throughout the video that it actually gave me a slight headache. Just when I was beginning to take in the overall feel or scenery of a particular section, the video just moved on at warp speed to the next one.
Thanks for the tips!
Nice work, man. 1K subscriptions That's a lot of comments and views for one video. Wish you better and better.
Also, you have a wonderful pair of children who look so sunny and healthy and outgoing under your influence.
My English message is from Baidu translation, I hope you can understand. Also, love comes from Shenzhen.
I appreciate it!
Very nice trip. Enjoy it with your family.
Great video, especially you guys with the kids. That's new on UA-cam because most of them are singles and couples. Your daughter did a great report 👍
What an excellent title! 👍👍👍
I’m am planning to visit Guilin in the coming year. Nice preview and introduction of various places.
Beautiful scenery
Thank you for being part of world peace movement.
Welcome to China.
