A typical rural small town in southwest China, over 400 million people live in tonws like this. 

Look how ridiculously clean the place is.. I don't see any rubbish lying around. Been to India twice.. don't need to say anything about the cleanliness of the place

These are really realistic images. I have travelled a lot in rural China and often been in similar places. Chinese people are generally very friendly and helpful to foreigners. It is also maybe the safest country I have been to.

Lived and taught in China for six years. My favourite experiences have been in small rural towns in Yunnan province and Guizhou province where the people are much more friendly and genuine than the typical tier one/two cities.The air and water quality are substantially better and food safety is much less an issue. The cost of living is much lower and the peoples' connection to their true culture is stronger and more vibrant. And never once did I fear for my safety.

What a beautiful, peaceful life. Im from the USA, and i really love the Chinese culture ❤. I miss China very much

I am so glad to see this side of China as well the 1 st and 2nd tier cities. It gives a balanced view of China reality. The smaller cities and towns are lovely, clean and slow paced. And I am sure living standards- housing and food, are very reasonable. And these cities and towns represent China and its people well! I hope the government is not in a hurry modernize everywhere! People need to slowly adjust to modern life as far as I am concerned!

It may be poor, but it is clean and safe. That's the big difference between China and the other poor third world countries.

China excellent clean small town

What is China? Home to Humanism! ❤❤❤❤❤

Those locals are not poor to our standards. They have houses to live, plenty of food, clean water, safe environment, and they have no debt!

Amazing A typical rural small town in southwest China, over 400 million people live in towns like this

It does not matter big town or small town, if you pay attention to details, you will find that the streets arevery clean - unlike in India, Burnma, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia. Cars are parked properly and not blocking half the road. There is water and electricity in every home. People are neatly dressed and no beggars around or people living in the streets. There are no corpse on the road nor potholes. All these reflect the acceptable level of living and social discipline. One do not see policemen at every corner of the street - if you do, it means high crime rate. There are no abandoned buildings or broken-down houses.

The good thing is that crime is next to none, as one can see the people have their washing etc outside their homes , and no one sleeping on the streets. There will be poverty in every country, but its not that bad in China . development will reach all corner of China soon base on the rapid speed of infrastructure development taking place there. One step at a time. This is paradise when compare to India. No drunkies, the people walked, ride bikes, eat healthy ( no fast food), they are all slim built, and they take good care of their families, and respect their elders

At least, it’s clean and not so chaotic.

nice, love to see slow paced local life.

Молодцы китайцы - пашут все, все мастера, чистота и порядок вокруг и в умах❤

They live happyly..they can chit chat with their friend all days long..damn...

I like China nice place especially for the elderly😊❤

I've been to 4 big cities in China and to me these kind of places in this videos are actually more fun. Its like going back in time and very very relaxing. The big cities in China are too modern.

This is a very nice moderately quiet and peacefull town, its also very clean, orderly and with a contented happy populace!!! People are happy with their daily responsibilities and no mad rush like in other towns outside China! Notice some restaurants even have chairs with easy comfortably back rests for diners, meaning the diners can probably eat and rest there for hours!!! It certainly looks like a self sufficient town, which may be the new government policy to promote, especially now with some very hostile nations who are envious of China's economic successes!!! 👍👍🍷🍷🙏🙏

The cleanliness of the streets caught my attention.

Image they have 1.4 billion people... and they're still doing great. Incredible.

出生在中国让我感到很自豪，谢谢你发的视频让各位国际朋友们能看到最真实的中国小镇，也能看到最真实的中国👍👍

The streets look clean. I don't see much trash. The residents may now be among the "lower income" in China as everywhere is moving upscale, but life looks pretty decent even in small towns in rural areas.

The places very nice and very clean absolutely amazing ❤❤❤

What a fantastic slice of life in China. It looks like a place where very few tourists or foreigners come. My wife is from such a place, just a bit larger. It is actually very nice to walk around there.

Nice!..it looks nicer then many US Cities. Very clean comparatively! Folks acting so happy and friendly!!...nice to see that!!

Maybe I'm blind, but I didn't see one piece of trash on the streets.....We in the U.S, should be ashamed as a country.

even in china"s small towns and villages, they are very clean and well maintained.....same cannot be said about india...

Looks like Manila, with less vehicle and human traffic, and much cleaner!

If it was safe, the housing cheap, and there was no arrogance or arguments or violence, and my housing situation was stable, and I could be sure of having enough to live on so I could eat and pay my bills, what would be wring with living in such a place? How nice it is that they play games in the street! I think it's wonderful.

Thank you for sharing your great video! I enjoyed the walk with you through so many different neighborhoods! I hope you get lots of views and will share more videos! Wishing you a very good day!💕

These are poor areas in China, but the streets are very clean. Those old houses are awaiting to be dismantled to build residential buildings.

Looks 10x cleaner than any American city. Wow!!!!

Green China❤❤ from India Mumbai Farooq 🇮🇳❤️

Looks so safe…so peaceful 😍

These towns have its charme. I love these 3-wheel fraight bikes where are seen there. Thanks for showing this video.

Overall, It looks better than an average town here in a rich city like São Paulo in Brazil.

I really wish to live in one of these places after my retirement

Looks very clean, tidy and safe Better and cleaner than most indian cities. Safer than most American cities.

It so heartening to see the roads so clean, without any garbage, unlike India, where all the cities, towns, villages are full of garbage, unruly traffic, rude people.

According to the Chinese characters in this video, this is a town in Shuangliu District of Chengdu City in Sichuan Province of China, the people in Sichuan Province are optimistic and are fond of Mahjong games. Sichuan province is where Panda live in, and Sichuan food is very popular and well-known for the spicy flavor (especially spicy hot pot) and is delicious and widely spread in the whole China. You can see the home-made Spicy Sausages in the video hanging in the street side. Btw, I'm now in Seattle and there are some Sichuan restaurants that is very delicious.

China is amazing

Even smaller towns in China have better infrastructure than big cities in India! It will be tough for India to develop as much as China in our lifetime

West likes to see china like india- dirt- small petrol cars- 6 on a bike

These are the places i want to spend the rest of my remaining days.

I like seeing towns, communities outside the large city centres. I like seeing the slower pace, people of the earth and less of 'bling.' China, may it be the Tier 1, 2, or 3 cities, touristy or rural communities, You ROCK! Your gov't cares for you and it shows! 🕊

I am very curious about China....I hope to visit there atleast once before my last breath.

My hometown is just in this province ,the nearest town we used to do shopping is exactly like this ,far from a city ,a bit small and narrow but nice and clean ,peaceful ,with small business or farm work ,people enjoy there .just young people prefer to have better chances in cities .

Enjoying the video in FLorida, USA. Quick impression from America: I'd call this a city! MILLIONS of people in America live in worse places, maybe MUCH worse! I'm getting the idea that this is regarded as being poor because it's not Shenzen or something, it's not all covered with video displays, I don't know. This might look like a kind of heaven to about a third of the population of the US, and maybe most of the population of say Central America or South America! Let's talk about crime: Looks LOW CRIME to me! Can you tell by looking at a few seconds of video? Americans can! How many of these people we see are carrying guns? How many are homeless? Quantity, quality and variety of food look very good, no "food desert" like we constantly hear about in the US. Lots of multi-story buildings, some high-rises, many signs of air-conditioning and satellite dishes... No shortage of wine and liquor! I didn't catch the name of this place but five minutes in to the video I already think "I could live there!". It looks "moderately prosperous", and not dangerous or severely declining. I have lived personally in MUCH worse places than this! An aside: I'm always amazed at the variety of vehicles I see in any video from China. There are whole classes of things we don't have.

Thanks for sharing your video of ordinary life in a small town. Please display the captions much longer, so your audience has time to look at the picture and read the caption. ☮️

Nice villages .. clean and tidy then Calcuta and California 😅

It is semi-orderly, civil, with charming Chinese archaic culture and signs of industry and positive aspiration everywhere!

Really interesting. What a happy town. Thanks for the video. Most enjoyable. Cheers

When I read the subject I thought I’d be watching a video about slums. I’m happy to be wrong. Yet another example that China isn’t really what we’ve been fed. I’ve really had my eyes opened.

The town is so clean.

I love your videos. They bring me literally back to the days I was living in China.

despite being a little old and undeveloped, but it's unexpected clean! no trash on the street, no homeless,

Wow, looks like great place for retirement 😮 slow paced and peaceful ✌️

The estimated population of Sichuan Province where the Capital city, Chengdu , is situated is approximately 400 million. The majority of people stay in such small towns. However, those in the major cities like Chengdu and Chongqing are housed in multi-storied apartments.

I`ve been in china, & love it

This is a small town from the southwest of China that would be probably considered below the national average of small towns. In fact, the southwest has been known for underdevelopment over scores of years. By contrast, small towns in the eastern or middle regions of China have better infrastructure. China is such a huge country that infrastructure development varies greatly. If you go to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shandong and Fujian, you'll see a completely different scene.

I think China focus is for it people elevation from poverty first, it balanced by preserving it people traditional custom and culture. We can see it villagers become wealthier years after years, but the aesthetic of it traditional houses architectures still preserved well in the traditional villages, and many of villagers sons also have another modern houses in the town.

Amazing rural life simple and happier - PRI PLASQUITA, 2016 Presidential Aspirant but declared nuesance❤❤

First Japan now China with this...These folks have the cleanest streets I swear I live in NYC so its like

The English information is very helpful.

though not modern，but clean，safe, peaceful, convenient, livable.

It is super interesting to see cities from this perspective. Cool vid

90% of the RU-vid videos on china travel show big cities and top tourist attraction, but I'd rather visit small towns like this

Nice one

Nice ❤🙋⭐

Oh my gosh the streets are so clean not a trash compared with some other countries. I really enjoyed watching the video. Good on you China.

Sorprendente. En Perú, la capital, Lima es grande y tiene de todo, grandezas y miserias como cualquier ciudad grande. Las que siguen, capitales regionales son menores en todo a la capital, pero con ésta, son las ciudades MAS IMPORTANTES. Esta es una aldea rural, un pueblo rural pero es comparable con las capitales regionales. Definitivamente, China es sorprendente, más aún sabiendo que pronto será el PAIS LIDER DEL MUNDO.

Beautiful small town and peaceful life ❤ watching from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

I am in love with China !!!

6:50 I love the little vegetable path there!

By the sound of it, many of the two and three-wheeled vehicles are electric, is that correct?

Yes, it is amazing how people live when people have the SAME LIFE AND MIND. All kinds of people are coming into America. Please help all different people, Please let all people come into your home land to live.

The street cleaner just walking around and not finding any trash.

Upkeep of roads is commendable.

It's only superficial but the traffic rule looks kind of relaxed not like here in America full of road signs and speed limits and I can't see any accidents.😮 Maybe it shows peoples attitude toward life?.

Very nice ❤❤❤

Whats the pop on small towns..looks ok ,plentiful goods to sell & cheap..unlike cities ..😂😂😂❤❤

One thing I remember of these small town was the air smelled like tobacco. It's a mixture of the smell of traditional tobacco that some elderlies were smoking, smell of the wooden walls and doors, smell of burning barley stalk ( or maybe something else, basically inedible part of a crop), smell of diesel engines, and smell of the cloudy or rainy days. Smoking in public places is now illegal in some cities of China, as is burning crops. I don't know if this law would have any effect in a small town like this.

Beautiful China

This is a very small and ordinary town in China.But it's safe and clean, and the income is enough to live.

life looks pretty dang good to me

This is village in Sichuan Province, it’s very different from southeast China, zhejiang ,jiangsu ,Shandong Province, Sichuan Province, in general is still one of underdeveloped provinces in China, in zhejiang rural areas, most of villagers have big houses, even bigger than most of Americans

Alles ist sehr schön sauber. 👍

There is something charming about these compared to small towns in America, where even there the sense of "community" seems to have completely died out. I am sure not is all rosy in small-town China, but this was pleasant to watch.

Simple yet beautiful town. If i compared this with my city (Palembang). This is like outskirt of palembang (It's like Lemabang or Plaju) but, much more clean, organized and no crimes.

Soon to be rich areas of China

nice. what is the sewerage arrangement generally? where does the drinking water come from? ground water, or from lakes and rivers?

small town have small town charm. I hope many Chinese people stopped smoking cigarettes.

Lovely video, thanks! I would have appreciated seeing some of the residential districts, to see how people live. I loved the street life - so lively!

Still a lot cleaner than Indian towens.

Your video is excellent! But there may be a mistake. There won't be 400 million people in a small town in China. Towns in China are often quiet and cozy, but young people choose bigger cities to make a living.

I would say yes there are shops in China selling used refrigerators on the street as this video purports to show but the figure 400 million people live in such condition is stretching the imagination a bit far. My counter argument is simple. According to Wikipedia the automotive industry in China has been the largest in the world measured by automobile unit production since 2008. That is consecutively 15 years. Last year the vehicle output was 27 million out of which 3.11 million were exported. That means 24 million new vehicles are destined for China's domestic consumption! Is this large can be ascertained by the second runner up car producer the US made 10 million cars in the same year. Let's say US exported none and so the Americans consume the entire 10 million car production domestically. That is less than half the new cars what the Chinese have produced for domestic consumption in 2022! If this video does show car ownership is widespread in China Nobody expects China to become rich overnight because back in 1988 every African country has a higher GDP per capita than China except two. Uganda and Bissau Guinea. Is today China moving in the right direction economically? When people's living standard is improving the streets are neater and everywhere will be cleaner.

It's weird that as i knew most of us rural areas are as beautiful as china rural town,why so many yankees saying us rural town is bad..?Shouldn't the American countryside have a nice climate, lawns everywhere, and friendly people?

Wie in China üblich, alles unheimlich sauber!

Those people seem to live happy.
