    Hi, how are you? I am from Brazil and I’m loving your videos.
    I’m a student of Mandarin and through your videos I can understand a little more about some aspects of China, please keep posting!

    Trolls always keep saying that China isn't free, but whenever I am in China, I feel very free in many ways. I can enjoy life in China without being harassed or feeling uncomfortable. People are super kind. China has a very relaxed and easygoing atmosphere. Difficult to describe. Many places are breathtaking! ❤️🇨🇳❤️

      I agree 100%. I felt the same. China will always have a place in my heart! Yangshuo is really wonderfull. Especially the theatre on the lake.

      Your future is bright to construsct the bridge between china and usa.
      At the moment china may be a better place for you to build that bridge than america.

    Good video. You educated your viewers much about China. For example, you mentioned "dialects." Keep up with the good efforts. Thank you for sharing.

    We went Yangshuo/Guilin in Octobre/November. It is VERY touristy though, the usual Li river boat rides, bamboo boat rides and the park visits etc.
    Good to see the real "city" life though. We came from another "small" city Wuzhou (about a million people) which is also in Guangxi province.
    The good thing about Guangxi is that it has huge amounts of fresh fruits/vegetables and the food price is really low.
    I'm wearing a LOT of clothes here in the Netherlands now, the weather here now is comparable with Spring Festival weather aka cold/wet.

    For me, a Pole, a city of 270,000 is large. It's almost exactly the same as Katowice, which is a regional capital.
    Edit: on an unrelated note, translating "hectic" to 熱鬧 is questionable in my opinion

    Looks fun! I really love how you can see beautiful mountain views from the streets. For a more rural city, everything seems clean overall. At least it looks that way from the video. It doesn’t look hectic to me either. I’m pretty sure I’ve been to much more hectic cities lol

    Suggest you don't have to sound apologetic about people eating dogs. People all over the world eat weird things according to different cultures and nobody should judge any body else. After all, we don't judge them for eating cows or cute little lambs or horses. A dog is just another domesticated animal in many cultures.

    You're the third person I've seen representing the Omeida Chinese Academy. First there was Kevin Cook (monkeyabroad) and then there was Oli Barrett (Barrett). They both started UA-cam channels and then tried to become world travel youtubers. Anything you produce related to Laowhy86 or SerpentZA will get you more views because they only negatively talk about China. Anything related to Daniel Dumbrill or Brian Berletic will get you positive attention.
