I'm a 4th generation Chinese America living in Hawaii. My husband is from Sweden so I have traveled and seen much of Europe. Sadly, I've never been to China yet. I speak Swedish and French but sadly cannot speak Chinese, and my heritage is Chinese. :( What beautiful and interesting videos you produce! They are produced with such a lovely sincerity and warmth, I feel I have been able to travel, and see personally these incredible far away places. I just discovered your channel by chance and watched your "Narrowest City" episode with rapt attention. The smaller cities and less traveled towns in the interior of China are just spectacular, the people and food so warm and welcoming! New Fan and Subscriber of your videos! Mahalo Nui for sharing your travels! I look forward to watching all of your posted videos and look forward to your future adventures!
I hope you don't feel bad about your limited chinese, because in my experience, most multi-generation people in N. America cannot speak the language of their heritage unless it's english. I'm a 3rd-gen, mongrel mix of english, irish, russian, polish and ukrainian who doesn't know any words of my non-English heritage except "Da" and "Nyet" in russian. I know much more mandarin because my wife is first gen chinese-cdn, perfectly fluent in both english & mandarin, as are our children thanks to her and her great parents. In the 90's we moved to hong kong and then to malaysia and singapore. I love it here, we became quite wealthy, far more easily than is possible now in the declining US and we live tax-free (except for sales tax), and I will never again live in US or Canada as we had to choose citizenship so we renounced ours as have a million hardworking happy americans overseas in the past decade. Now proud and "Asian"... so I went the opposite direction of your great-great-grandparents, haha. Speaking of languages, an interesting difference between the US vs Singapore & Malaysia is that almost everyone here is fully fluent in at least 3 languages - if you're not, it's like there's something wrong with you... So I feel a little dumb here about that, which I never felt back home. Oh well, I catch a break about my limited language abilities bcuz I don't look Asian, lol. Singapore is amazing. You should add that to your travel list as I think it'll blow your mind - and also do bring your oldest surviving chinese ancestors to see how east Asia has changed. Ofc, Hawaii is lovely too and I think you're lucky to live there, tho I've not been there for years nor ever on Oahu where most live. Fond old trip memories of the other islands tho, nice ppl too.
It's never too late to learn Chinese language. I'm teaching myself Chinese, Russian languages. I know Japanese language just by living in Japan for 6 months came back speaking fluently. It's easier to learn when in the native countries imho.
I must confess that your English is excellent and very easy to understand. Your Chinese, unlike your English, is a language that sounds very foreign to me, the way we see China from Scandinavia. But when you talk to people, I have the impression that I understand them. We are all people of this earth and have the same wishes and dreams even if we use different cultures and languages. Fortunately there is the internet, so we can make our own impressions as citizens of a western country. This protects us from ideological influence by our power elites, who mostly do not mean well with us here in the West or with peoples outside their sphere of influence. In the past, they have always turned us on each other. That is no longer so easy. Also thanks to your beautiful films. Thank you. Greetings, Sven
It’s an amazing country full of wonder and history, and the best parts are outside the. Major centres, it can be a challenging place to visit, but the people are genuine and curious. Be prepared to have lots of selfies taken for a lot of rural people its there first time to meet a westerner in person. My best advice is the Chinese people are not the same as CCP
@@markscott262 Firstly, the Chinese party is called CPC and not CCP. Whilst we may not like the country's one and only autocratic leadership, our upbringing instil in us to show respect to address the other party its correct name. Whilst I also dislike communism (not that I love western democracies any better) I would be blind or completely brainwashed not to recognize the incredible achievements of the CPC in building up China to be the second biggest economy in the world and also the improvements to the lives and well being off the Chinese people
@Mark Scott Familiar with this pameo??? 👇👇👇 "I just love and care the Chinese.. but I hate the CCP. " Ohhhh so sweeeeeet !! right..??!! It makes me crying crocodile tears..!!! 👇👇👇 Lots of you the white supremacists are just incomplete denial about your own racism and never want to admit that to you yourselves. , Hence you scapegoat the Chinese government to cover your disdain for the Chinese people. Nothing is new here...! All the same hypocrite mantra. WTF...!!!
Erika vagyok, és Magyarországon élek. Egy ideje követem a videóidat. Elképesztően bátor, és ügyes vagy. A kicsi testben hatalmas lélek lakik. Mi már jártunk Kína sok részén, és májusban újra megyünk, kiegészítve Tibettel. Viszont te olyan helyekre viszel el minket, ahova turisták sosem mennek. Nagyon hálás vagyok neked ezért, és csodállak. Köszönöm neked❤❤❤❤❤
I was married to a Chinese lady. I learned so much of Chinese culture from her. I'm American. I never thought our cultures could mesh but she was fascinating as was her Chinese world.
Can we say China is the most amazing and diverse country in the world? I certainly think so because it has the highest peaks ,the desert, the cold icy northeast, tropical Hainan, Mongolian plains mountainous coastal metropolis
Don't look at one video and make your assumption. I am not saying it not nice but you didnt see much of the world too make a decent guess. Many will not agree with you
@@slammerlo510There are not many countries with a large area and complex and diverse geographical environment like China. Maybe the United States is comparable to it.

China comes to for almost every thing including trust in the government, believe that the government is looking after your interests etc. One thing it does badly in is trust in the media - so its not like its propaganda. People in China LIKE being in China way more than we westerners like being in our countries...

@@reginewelch8052 You`re aware that this is a propaganda account, very likely permitted and maybe even founded by the Chinese state, with the exact goal of making people forget how utter horrible the People`s Republic of China is? Of course the ordinary people in the Chinese countryside are nice. And of course China has an interesting culture. But that doesn`t change a thing about the fact that it`s a totalitarian state with no freedom of speech, no free media, a state that constantly ignores human rights, that throws its citizens in prisons or camps or just straight up kills them if they don`t act like the government wanst them to, that does it best to create dependent slave states in Africa and Asia, that constantly surveilles its citizens to a point that it surpassed every nightmarish dystopia one could imagine, that actively destroys its own land and produces so much waste and environmental damage that even its neighbours suffer while it absolutely does not care about what damage it causes, and that does so many more terrible things. China is not a good place to visit and to support with your money. Watch videos like this, but watch them with a critical mind, and be aware that we`re being shown exactly what the government of the PRC wants us to see.
Thank you for yet another excellent video. I am from Canada. Backpacking all over China was my plan before I took my early retirement. I had been on four such 10-weeks trips until my plan was ruined by cancer five years ago. I will be watching every one of your videos as surrogate for my own dreamed trip.

Hello my friend , I have been following your channel for some time now and each video has been wonderful . The view of the cliff road was so beautiful and I agree kind of scary . The old city streets , the food as well the kind friendly people sharing the history is so insightful . I like that they invited you to share a meal with them , treating you like family . A person from the west I think would have a hard time visiting such a lovely place unless they spoke Chinese and even then with that they would have a hard time understanding the fine people and their amazing history . I am glad that we can learn from you and to see the amazing country of China through your eyes . Thank you for being our guide to learn more of the unseen China that you post through your fine videos my friend .
Thank you for taking the time to read my comment as well for the likes that you gave to me . One day I would love to visit the fine cities of China . But before I could do that I would have to learn to speak Mandarin Chinese language . I have heard that is a very hard language to learn . If you have some tips to help me learn , please feel free to leave them in the reply section . Thank you very much !!!
You are welcome to travel in China. You don’t have to speak Mandarin in China, as long as you have translation software installed on your phone, the people will help you enthusiastically. It’s safe to come to China.
Thank you for your reply to my comments my friend , but I do not understand The fine Chinese language That you are writing to me . Happy Chinese New Year to you , your fine family as well as to all the fine people of China !!!!!@@partyhu
Fascinating journey into rural China. Glad to hear the govt helped the villagers to rebuild their houses after the earthquake. Thanks for bringing us along.
They've been helping their people in any ways and in many ways every time, whether there was a disaster or not. Have you just heard about it this time?

What I love the most about your videos is that you are clearly afraid of heights but you try to overcome your fear just to show your viewers everything there is to see. Thank you. This channel is just amazing. Why it's not hitting at least a million subscribers yet is just beyond me.
As a Brazilian, let me say THANK YOU for making these videos! We know too little of China, and your channel is a great resource for knowing more about your beautiful country! I hope to visit someday!
Good morning lovely yan! It's early in the morning in Brazil; It's 2:32 a.m. I'm watching your video about "Cliff" in this amazing Country CHINA. I love it, but I'm torally scared. I do love chinese food, it's delicious🤤inhamy. All my best regard four you and for China🇨🇳🤝❤🙋 from Brazil.👍🌎💐🐼
I've stumbled on to your channel yesterday after watching one of my favorite travel bloggers in Japan who's videos sadly became mostly one big advertisment of hotels😅since then I've watched multiple videos of yours and blown away by so much authenticity, warmth and beauty. I also love how calm and interesting you give information about particular places to the viewer. Lovely videos! I've never been in China yet but your videos makes me want to explore all these beautiful places! Amazing job, keep going!🤗
Ich mag China seit mein Kindheit. Du machst dein Land so schön, wie es ist. Kompliment. Ich hoffe du startest dem nächst mit private Reisen durch China. Ich werde sofort mitmachen. Noch mal herzlichen Dank für deine Leistung. Viele Grüße aus Deutschland. Loay
Here in Scotland , we have mountains and incredible vistas forever , especially in the Highlands . But those high views and slimline mountain road is something very special . I came across your channel by accident , now I shall follow every excursion you take ... Can't wait for the next one . Best wishes .
Your videos have captivated and mesmerized me. The cinematographic shots and footage of rural China taken with your phone and drone are absolutely stunning and breathless. Your story telling skills, engagement, interaction, and communication with the locals are so touching and the tidbits of information here and there, are interesting, educational, and informative. What a pleasure and privilege it is to be able to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent and beautiful work!
Hallo Yan, was für ein Wahnsinns Video...ganz lieben Dank fürs Zeigen. Ich persönlich hätte nicht den Mut gehabt, auf diesem Weg herum zu laufen. Schon beim Zuschauen wurde mir schwindelig. Die Aussicht ist natürlich unbeschreiblich. Ganz herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland von Katharina
I was dizzy watching you walk on the border of that cliff. What amazing view! About the local food. Just great! Tea leaves, rice, wide noodles , spices , smoked meat. I was in heaven!
You are making me feel hungry😄 You have also inspired me to get travelling again, so I have just booked my trip to Tibet and I will visit Lhasa and travel to the base of mount Zhumulangma. I just love what you do, you are such an inspiration. Also, my number one channel.
I love it when I see people using Zhumulangma instead of Mt. Everest, much like how people are now calling Mt. McKinley by the name the indigenous peoples gave it, Denali.
Although I live in China, I have never seen any of these places you have been to. Thank you for the video that gave my soul an amazing journey to such a unique place.
Amazing video, lovely content. You are doing a fantastic job as China’s ambassador to the rest of the world - no political agenda, no religious biases. I’m honoured to be another of your subscriber👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙂 Good luck in your endeavour, from BC🇨🇦
An exhilarating cliff walk ! The people & culture of food & hospitality…. just wonderful ! You are a great ambassador ! Great fun ! Look forward to next, Thank you so much.
I’m half Chinese but I know very little about China. My grandparents had moved to Singapore and I grew up in Canada and not very much Chinese culture was passed down to me in general. But your videos.. wow your videos really ignite something in me. I’m a bit in awe. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Yan - another great video! Your simple, unpretentious, human interactions with people give us such a good feel of the street and the people there; your drone shots provide great birds-eye views of the fantastic terrains you are visiting. Been to China several times and seen the glitzy and glamorous places (and loved it), but, I realize now, I completely missed the "other side", the true China. "The Unseen China" is such an apt title for your series.
NOPE!!! My fear of falling makes that a no go. Not even a railing to hold onto. I experience vertigo and nausea just watching. Thank you for the beautiful photos❣ It is the only way I can see that.
I have really come to love your channel. You’re so engaging and presented your videos with such genuine and warmth. I absolutely love how you presented your travel experiences. I hope too someday I will be able to see some of the places you introduce. Thank you & keep up the good work.
@@sandraparisi6251 I not see a single trash in the river. About the grey color, When glaciers grind against underlying bedrock, they produce a silty powder with grains finer than sand. Geologists call it “glacial flour” or “rock flour.” This iron- and feldspar-rich substance often finds its way into rivers and lakes, coloring the water brown, grey, or aqua
As an ethnic Chinese in Australia I love if you travel around Hainan Island. That was where my parents were born. I had been to Hainan island and I particularly enjoyed Sanya. I love your video and I am looking forward to the next.
When I watched you scrambling along the cliff path, one phase came to my mind. “Bring suffering to yourself”. The view is unspeakable. It is the topography that forces the local residents to construct such dangerous path to connect one place with another. 20km will take an approx. 4-5hrs walk. It is impossible to starve in China even for a fussy eater for there is abundant food to feast on. Thank you for taking the risk and showed us places no tourists go
Your channel has been just a source of delight for me. Truly wonderful videos, showing parts of china and chinese culture few see. I also appericate how you've also spoke often about chinas Ethinc Minorities, who rarely get mentioned in any western media. Amazing videos! Thank you for your work!
I just discovered this channel. Thank you for the great videos! I’ve always thought of China as a beautiful and unique country. It’s on my bucket list to visit one day. I enjoy the interactions with local people and love seeing the food which often looks delicious. Thank you for the close and personal look of China and it’s people!
I just began watching your videos today, I love everyone of them. I quit school at very young age in China in a remote village. I can understand almost almost every thing your say in Chinese but of course also in in English. I haven't traveled much in China so thank you for bringing all these videos.
Super nice people, delicious and cheap foods, I really want to be there soon. I think real treasures of china are in the local. Thank you for sharing this. From south Korea.
Wow, Yan you were pretty brave going as far as you did…there is no way I could do that! Another amazing video full of wonderful surprises - brilliant 💜
Wow I can't believe the locals walk the mountain cliff regularly!! That was terrifying. Your drone shots were amazing. I also love when you chat to the friendly locals about the food and their history
People seem to be really friendly and open to be filmed all the time ! It's like they're used to camera, they're not shy or anything! It's great 🥰 the food look absolutely delightful, just like the scenery! Thank you so much for making us see what China looks like ❤
Beautiful views. Thank you for showing the world your country. The Chinese are very industrious people, indeed. Very clean cities, Well developed infrastructure. I hope one day to visit.
I love your videos !! So spectacular, so informative, and so entertaining !! And then overlaid with your lovely soft personality, but vibrant style of delivery !! Keep doing what you do so well lovely lady !! 💜💯💜

You must be blessed! Everywhere you go people greet you with a smile!
What I love the most about your videos is that you are clearly afraid of heights but you try to overcome your fear just to show your viewers everything there is to see. Thank you. This channel is just amazing. Why it's not hitting at least a million subscribers yet is just beyond me.
As a Brazilian, let me say THANK YOU for making these videos! We know too little of China, and your channel is a great resource for knowing more about your beautiful country! I hope to visit someday!
I wish I speak Chinese and stay China forever and never come back. What nice people there I proud of you Chinese 😊
Good morning lovely yan! It's early in the morning in Brazil; It's 2:32 a.m. I'm watching your video about "Cliff" in this amazing Country CHINA. I love it, but I'm torally scared. I do love chinese food, it's delicious🤤inhamy. All my best regard four you and for China🇨🇳🤝❤🙋 from Brazil.👍🌎💐🐼
I've stumbled on to your channel yesterday after watching one of my favorite travel bloggers in Japan who's videos sadly became mostly one big advertisment of hotels😅since then I've watched multiple videos of yours and blown away by so much authenticity, warmth and beauty. I also love how calm and interesting you give information about particular places to the viewer. Lovely videos! I've never been in China yet but your videos makes me want to explore all these beautiful places! Amazing job, keep going!🤗
Hi from Dubai UAE I've been enjoying your blogs for this past few days wish you the best..,
Ich mag China seit mein Kindheit. Du machst dein Land so schön, wie es ist. Kompliment. Ich hoffe du startest dem nächst mit private Reisen durch China. Ich werde sofort mitmachen.
Noch mal herzlichen Dank für deine Leistung.
Viele Grüße aus Deutschland.
Loay
You are genuine and friendly. And now we can also say you are courageous as well. Dont look to the left indeed!
This has become my favoured channel about China, congratulations for such a wonderful job You are doing.
Here in Scotland , we have mountains and incredible vistas forever , especially in the Highlands . But those high views and slimline mountain road is something very special . I came across your channel by accident , now I shall follow every excursion you take ... Can't wait for the next one . Best wishes .
Your videos have captivated and mesmerized me. The cinematographic shots and footage of rural China taken with your phone and drone are absolutely stunning and breathless. Your story telling skills, engagement, interaction, and communication with the locals are so touching and the tidbits of information here and there, are interesting, educational, and informative. What a pleasure and privilege it is to be able to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent and beautiful work!

very down to earth video of daily lives in China. thank u from Singapore
Hallo Yan, was für ein Wahnsinns Video...ganz lieben Dank fürs Zeigen. Ich persönlich hätte nicht den Mut gehabt, auf diesem Weg herum zu laufen. Schon beim Zuschauen wurde mir schwindelig. Die Aussicht ist natürlich unbeschreiblich. Ganz herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland von Katharina
This channel is a hidden gem! You show places I never knew existed or would probably never look for. Thank you from 🇨🇦! 😀
I was dizzy watching you walk on the border of that cliff.
What amazing view!
About the local food.
Just great!
Tea leaves, rice, wide noodles , spices , smoked meat.
I was in heaven!
This chanel will hit 500k soon. Very good content, am seeing China in a new light. - From Nairobi, Kenya.
You are making me feel hungry😄 You have also inspired me to get travelling again, so I have just booked my trip to Tibet and I will visit Lhasa and travel to the base of mount Zhumulangma. I just love what you do, you are such an inspiration. Also, my number one channel.
I love it when I see people using Zhumulangma instead of Mt. Everest, much like how people are now calling Mt. McKinley by the name the indigenous peoples gave it, Denali.
You are a courageous lady, country life is different from city life. Thanks for sharing. 😂
There is NO WAY I could walk that. I admire you for facing your fear and doing it.
I’m sat at home sweating and screaming at the TV! I could never!!! 😂
Although I live in China, I have never seen any of these places you have been to. Thank you for the video that gave my soul an amazing journey to such a unique place.
Amazing video, lovely content. You are doing a fantastic job as China’s ambassador to the rest of the world - no political agenda, no religious biases.
I’m honoured to be another of your subscriber👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙂
Good luck in your endeavour, from BC🇨🇦
Incredible journey ❤😂🎉😅😊and some local good food.. Yummy 😋 😋 🎉
I'll never be able to walk this path. It's absolutely scary. Thanks to you, we can watch such and incredible scene
An exhilarating cliff walk ! The people & culture of food & hospitality…. just wonderful ! You are a great ambassador ! Great fun ! Look forward to next,
Thank you so much.
I’m half Chinese but I know very little about China. My grandparents had moved to Singapore and I grew up in Canada and not very much Chinese culture was passed down to me in general. But your videos.. wow your videos really ignite something in me. I’m a bit in awe. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Yan - another great video! Your simple, unpretentious, human interactions with people give us such a good feel of the street and the people there; your drone shots provide great birds-eye views of the fantastic terrains you are visiting. Been to China several times and seen the glitzy and glamorous places (and loved it), but, I realize now, I completely missed the "other side", the true China. "The Unseen China" is such an apt title for your series.
Good comment. I too have missed the othr side of china.
NOPE!!! My fear of falling makes that a no go. Not even a railing to hold onto. I experience vertigo and nausea just watching. Thank you for the beautiful photos❣ It is the only way I can see that.
I have really come to love your channel. You’re so engaging and presented your videos with such genuine and warmth. I absolutely love how you presented your travel experiences. I hope too someday I will be able to see some of the places you introduce. Thank you & keep up the good work.
6:35 even in such a remote town, the street is so clean and people keep cleaning it no matter their age:))) 😺
all are so kind and friendly.
The vibe of the people, scenary, architecture are really nice.
China is amazingly clean !
Except for the rivers, they remind me of the bay in Panama. Gray water def!
中国现在是中等发展水平的国家了，在第三世界的国家里算是最干净的
@@sandraparisi6251 I not see a single trash in the river. About the grey color, When glaciers grind against underlying bedrock, they produce a silty powder with grains finer than sand. Geologists call it “glacial flour” or “rock flour.” This iron- and feldspar-rich substance often finds its way into rivers and lakes, coloring the water brown, grey, or aqua

China is so beautiful and people are so friendly. The government is so good to rebuild the villages.
I love the Chinese government.
From England.
Amazing episode. Not sure what’s more stunning - the cliff road or all the delicious food. This has quickly become one of my favorite channels
Interesting places, love it, thanks for sharing
As an ethnic Chinese in Australia I love if you travel around Hainan Island. That was where my parents were born. I had been to Hainan island and I particularly enjoyed Sanya. I love your video and I am looking forward to the next.
When I watched you scrambling along the cliff path, one phase came to my mind. “Bring suffering to yourself”. The view is unspeakable. It is the topography that forces the local residents to construct such dangerous path to connect one place with another. 20km will take an approx. 4-5hrs walk. It is impossible to starve in China even for a fussy eater for there is abundant food to feast on. Thank you for taking the risk and showed us places no tourists go
Whatever is she doing.... she is doing awesome ❤️
Keep on showing us hidden china
Love your camera work and how you show everything around you...Thank you !
Very, very cool channel - it's positive, fun, and you show a lot of awesome looking places. Cheers!
I can't believe how casually people are walking along the edge of this mountain!
Thank you for taking me along on another exhilarating journey. I can feel my legs weakening watching you crawl along that cliff road. Take care
I always have tremulous legs whenever there's a cliff alongside.
Your channel has been just a source of delight for me. Truly wonderful videos, showing parts of china and chinese culture few see. I also appericate how you've also spoke often about chinas Ethinc Minorities, who rarely get mentioned in any western media. Amazing videos! Thank you for your work!
Travel, culture, and food. This channel has it all. One of my favorites now.
that woman who walked on the edge is 😱😱😱 she is amazing
I just discovered this channel. Thank you for the great videos! I’ve always thought of China as a beautiful and unique country. It’s on my bucket list to visit one day. I enjoy the interactions with local people and love seeing the food which often looks delicious. Thank you for the close and personal look of China and it’s people!
I just began watching your videos today, I love everyone of them. I quit school at very young age in China in a remote village. I can understand almost almost every thing your say in Chinese but of course also in in English. I haven't traveled much in China so thank you for bringing all these videos.
Super nice people, delicious and cheap foods, I really want to be there soon. I think real treasures of china are in the local. Thank you for sharing this. From south Korea.
Lovely place and thanks for introducing this hidden gem
there are so many spectacular views in remote areas in China
Thank you❤🌹🙏, great 👍👏😊episode. Very scary😱 cliff road.!
I'm addicted ! Your videos and China are absolurtely GREAT !
You are by far the best channel about travelling in China❤❤
the land made the people.. incredible.. i definitely will visit explore china someday.. bismillah..
Loving the vibe of the old village. Beautiful!
It's like a movie set.
Wow, Yan you were pretty brave going as far as you did…there is no way I could do that! Another amazing video full of wonderful surprises - brilliant 💜
You are an amazing person and so brave.. I wouldn't go on that Mountain road. I've been to many places in China but always avoid danger.
That was so scary…amazing China..thank you for taking us all along💕
我是云南人，没有去过盐津县，当地人完全是四川口音了，和昭通彝良县一样，食物口味是川味，你很勇敢，谢谢你展示真实的中国，让我很想念家乡昆明，希望你在云南玩的开心😊 注意安全。❣️👍👍👍
Beautiful views for those who are brave to experience the climb 🥰😍🤩 am overseas Chinese who will love to visit CHINA
Amazing road. Must be tough carving the road
Thank you so much for including both chinese and english subtitles! It's a lot of work, but so appreciated for learning :)
Wow I can't believe the locals walk the mountain cliff regularly!! That was terrifying. Your drone shots were amazing. I also love when you chat to the friendly locals about the food and their history
Could you imagine being a local and having a toddler walk that path for the first time, on their little, uneven toddler feet?@!! 😳
@@reginewelch8052 nuh uh!! 🙅🏻♀️ But I bet they get used to it from a young age!
Oh my goodness this makes my palms sweat!! 😅 you’re so brave but what a beautiful view -thanks for sharing!
A very interesting and informative video. The scenery was also beautiful. You were very brave walking on that path.
People seem to be really friendly and open to be filmed all the time ! It's like they're used to camera, they're not shy or anything! It's great 🥰 the food look absolutely delightful, just like the scenery! Thank you so much for making us see what China looks like ❤
Another great episode. Love your channel. Been watching most of your past videos lately.
Beautiful views. Thank you for showing the world your country. The Chinese are very industrious people, indeed. Very clean cities, Well developed infrastructure. I hope one day to visit.
LOVE FROM Uganda!!!
I love your videos !! So spectacular, so informative, and so entertaining !! And then overlaid with your lovely soft personality, but vibrant style of delivery !! Keep doing what you do so well lovely lady !! 💜💯💜
Love your videos . I hope to someday visit China, all though I am American
Americans are very welcomed in China
@@donkeykong516 some day. Maybe when I retire
I feel I was walking/crawling there when you were crawling the corner pass. Bravo 👏
Your drone does a beautiful job, capturing beautiful scenery amongst the mountains, plateaus & valleys, keep up your good job!!!
It's amazing knowing that those villagers casually walk that cliff path.
I am from Hungary. Very like your videos. 😊
incredibly high quality video, love it so much❤
I cant believe how gorgeous those buildings were. That whole street and area had so much life and beauty. Seriously seems like an amazing place.
