You don’t need to be young to visit China. I saw many older American couples in tour groups when I visited China myself. It’s a safe country with superb infrastructure.
Well whose fault is it that the world caught Covid from Wuhan? ( They reckon it definately originated in the wet market) Being young has nothing to do with it.
@@abbotsful they don't need to provide you any proof :) They just live. Now show some proof that all the native kids' graves in boarding schools have been located - we all know it's just tip of an iceberg
@@shineluvslambiel wrong question, it should be: have you been yourself? Let me try, because you're not Chinese did you find it frustrating when you went that the only way in was with a state approved tour group?
Hi Daniel, I’m so happy and relieved to hear from you. It has been so long since your last video. I was so afraid and worried if there was anything bad happened to you and family. This is a great day, thank you Daniel. I have been following your video since the Hong King riot. So happy to see you again.
This place is khampas region located in Sichuan province, not tibet. Khampas people are the tallest, with straight nose, lighter skin tone, strong personality. A lot of very tall handsome guys here 康巴汉子。Men average height 180 cm. Genetically more related to Han people as American research finding indicated. Lhasa tibetan opposite: short, dark, gentle personality. Genetically more related to nepali sherpa.
@@ChinaSongsCollection He has to keep his private thoughts about Tibet private. If they became public he would be arrested. As we have Chinese patriots and Chinese nationalists who shed salty tears about the " motherland" why would it be any different for a man of Tibetan heritage not to feel a profound love and connection with his own place on this Earth?
It looks like a nice place, also the mountain landscape. It is said that one life isn't enough to visit all beautiful places in China! Wish the owner and his family and village a lot of success!
Welcome back Daniel. Was missing your videos and glad you’re back. This video is great and glad that people are encouraged to set up businesses and help the local economy, providing not just jobs, but bigger and wider visions of the immensity of possibilities 👍👍
Thanks for sharing, Daniel. It's great for those of us from the outside to get a true glimpse of the daily lives of Tibetans. We are sick and tired of how the mainstream media distort the truth in their reporting. What you have shown us so far is completely the opposite to how the situations are reported in the Western media. Love your work!
Meeting a Tibetan business owner in China who went studying oversea beforehand.. what else can we do to upset a certain ex-NATO intern, knows-everything guy? Lol😆
the more i see more videos like this, stories people tell and plain data, i get the feeling the american establishment are just projecting themselves and their history on china. they can't believe that china would not commit genocide on the indigenous peoples and put them in reservation camps to keep the leftovers out of sight and maybe make a couple of movies how they did their best to save them and that we should feel sorry for the many who got depressed and traumatised from massacring the people who aren't like them...
Long time no see, Daniel! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful experience. The Tibetan guy sounds like a genuine man with ingenious ideas. I wish him a great success!
The place is peaceful and clean. It is a real getaway to let your hair down, from the hustle and bustle of the cities. Thanks, Mr. DD for showing this video.
I have visited China six times now. The more I know China the more there is to discover. What a fascinating country. Wonderful people, culture, and history. It has the best infrastructure in the world thanks to its effective government.
It is a great idea to travel around in China by RV. The rural area of West Sichuan is really beautiful. To my surprise, the Tibetan boss can speak fluent English!
Hi Daniel, great to see you back on videos! I appreciate your views on China and geopilitics, even if I find you sometimes overpassionate or overfiring. But travel vlogs are great too! Actually I find they serve a double purpose: first we can travel from home and discover nice places and people in China. But also we see by ourselves what the situation is actually like right now. For instance I could see in this video that in this Tibetan area of Sichuan, people are developing businesses and integrating the local population, by capitalizing on the touristic potential of Route 318. It 's the same with other travel vloggers in China, whether they be foreign (KatherinesJourneyToTheEast...)or Chinese (AaronLiu...). Even vloggers who do not utter a single word and whose face is unknown such as WalkEast offer very valuable filterfree views on China. I discovered you through your videos in Tibet, such as the one visiting the former noble house or the one in the local middle school. They were eye opening, because I had no idea had been a serf-based theocracy, and I thought 'Communist China' had forbidden and wiped out Tibetan culture and Tibetan language totally. Or another stunning video was with your CyberGirl friend in Shenzhen: I discovered how open minded and tolerant Chinese can actually be. Just keep showing China as it is, as diverse as it is, because we need it, please.
The western media will only tell you that those religious leaders were forced into exile, but few people know that they were really autocratic religious rulers by relying on slavery and exploiting the ordinary Tibetan people. It was not until the founding of new China that people there lived a relatively free life. I am a Chinese. I have traveled to Xinjiang and Tibet. Many old people there hang Mao Zedong's portrait or embroidery at home. As Chinese, we all know that our history for thousands of years has always tended to national unity and national integration. CCP has inherited the tradition in this respect. CCP is a typical Confucian government (removing the dross and leaving the core). Although people exaggerated the dross during the Cultural Revolution (it has now returned to normal), it is undeniable that the Chinese still have the typical Confucian thought in their bones and like harmony.
I've also been to some Tibetan regions in China. Had a very good time. Also had the opportunity to dance with the Tibetans 👍 Love to go back one day (...although I can't remember which place it was because I've been to too many places in China)
I bet many around the world have been wondering where did Daniel go? I am also sure that many people are very happy to see Daniel showing up again and want to wish you and your family welll.
No I mean arrested for wandering into a Covid hotspot where other people are present not wearing a mask How come he can go to Tibet but a bunch of hapless Chinese tourists are trapped there indefinately? Double standards for our Canadian Hong Kong brewer surely?
My jaw dropped on seeing a trailer park in Tibet. Of course such trailer park can exist in China but such well equipped, spacious and well coordinated in such a large scale is an eye opener. This means Tibet must have a developed tourist industry catered for the cars and trailers. The nicest surprise is the place is managed by the Tibetans who are getting richer and wealthier. It is far cry from the Dalai Lama days when serfdom was practised by the big land owners. Dalai Lama has done one good thing for the Tibetans and that is he brought serfdom with him to India where it could mix well with the caste system there. It is quite ingenious to develop the tourist industry in Tibet because the province has outstanding natural beauty, space as it has very low population and poor agricultural potential due to high altitude and low oxygen. In the Europe the people built a skiing industry with similar condition if it is reasonably snow-sure, like Italian Via Latte (Milky Way) Dolomite, Austrian SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser - Brixental, Ski Amade, Ski Arlberg , French Tarentaise Valley with 3-Valleys, Paradiski and Escape Killy, Switzeland has its own 4 Vallee and Silvetta Arena..... After the recent Beijing Olympic winter sport in China could take off and Tibet must have many places suitable for sport in winter and camping, mountaineering in summer.
@@davidredei7729 It is obviously a trailer park ran by a Tibetan. It is also true about half of the Tibetans do not reside in Tibet in China but are all over Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan.
@@gunsumwong3948 Sure, it is obviously a trailer park ran by a Tibetan IN SICHUAN. So your reaction of dropping your jaw on seeing a trailer park in Tibet was unjustified: what you saw was a trailer park in Sichuan.
@@davidredei7729 I went by the title of the video. I went Eurocamping for many years and know well enough of the standard of trailer parks and camp sites in UK and Europe. I still say the trailer park in the video an eye opener because not many people know Tibet has changed so much. I have visited China a few time and am aware of their travelling industries. Tibet has developed a lot fast than I thought. I am please to see it has been the Tibetans who have been mostly benefited economically. China in 1988 was poorer than every African country except two (Uganda and Bissau Guinea). Tibet today is the the poorest province in China. Sichuan has fared a lot better because it has some world class hydro station with output double the Three Gorges. These hydro plus the Three Gorges can supply electricity for the entire UK!
@@gunsumwong3948 All you wrote is wonderful, but I still do not understand, how can a video featuring a trailer park in SICHUAN be an evidence of the fast development of TIBET?
Shhh shhhh don’t say that ! The official narrative from our western countries is that all tibetans in Tibet are under heavy oppression and their culture being erased. Please don’t stray from our lovely democratic and human rights narrative ok !?
Hi Daniel very nice to have you 🔙 back . I am from India MANIPUR STATE a former Princely country under British empire. Anyway its very nice to see you again
Welcome back! Great video of one of my favourite parts of China. I used to travel to Tibetan Sichuan a lot and had a great reminder of local hospitality with the dancing around the fire. This park is beautiful and so modern! The last time I went was to Siguniang area closeish to Chengdu in mid 2000s and it was nowhere near as modern looking! Amazing every time I see China development. Makes me look forward to travelling and living in China again ❤️❤️
High altitude/low temperature environments can sometimes pose problems for owners of diesel powered motors so electric vehicles are a sensible alternative. Sounds like this is the Garze Tibetan area out Kangding way. Going westward from Kangding to Chola mountain you see Tibetan inscriptions on river rocks and sometimes those mesmerising Tibetan eyes. It's slow going on a public bus and would be a terrific road trip in a private vehicle, stopping overnight from place to place.
Glad to know that you and your family are well. Let's hope that you will continue to discuss the political issues concerning China and the west, to continue pointing out the fake news against China !
Having Animals on the ground floor is actually a good way to save heating costs, since the animals warm up a place. In ancient and middleage europe it was common there too
The lifestyle that these guys are living is so beautiful. They are living the dream. surely he must own the only coffee shop for hundreds of miles! It's so cool how the owner just set up this place with his friends after noticing it while boating on the river. I'd love to go!, It looks such a nice location. with those homes, mountains and river. the opportunity to meet locals is always a huge plus!
Le point de vue raisonné et informé que tu apportes sur la Chine est vraiment, vraiment, vraiment très important et utile Daniel. Merci pour ce travail, et pour ton approche. Continue.
When I visited Tibet back 2010 visitors mainly Chinese from other provinces. Commercial area s closed at 8pm and shopfronts rather run down. Things had changed a lot . Now places open to visitors are a blend of Tibetan Chinese and Western and nightlife commercial areas more vibrant. Would love to make a second visit but altitude sickness could be fatal for seniors.
Boy, I was thinking where have you been for all this time! It's good to hear from you again. Wish you a safe and fruitful journey in Tibet. Always enjoy your posting.
Another important upload...Many people including myself up until recently had no idea that there are Tibetans in other provinces of China....Missed your uploads man, waiting for the next one.
The primitive Han-Tibetans separated to form the Tibetan and Han nationalities. In fact, many tribes in the west don't know whether they belong to the Han nationality or the Tibetan nationality.🥹
Welcome back Daniel! Am glad you are making videos again. Yeah... I was wondering why you were absent from the RU-vid scene. Of course!... there is more to life than to spend time trying to convince others who don't want to be convinced. Living life itself. Life is too short not to do that. Looking forward to the next video you post.
Daniel, I have so much appreciated your videos since the HK issue. I've been a teacher of English & Geography in NZ and taken tours of about 20 people, to China. Your video of about a year ago, is I think so good I would like a transcription - or write it myself. My wife and I have 6 children: from an old fella, look after your family. And then, feed us as best you can! I endorse all the comments below.
So good to see you again Daniel, congratulations to the new member of your family. Im one of your quiet stalkers 😜, have been following you since 2019. Thanks for all your videos and opinions, take care,
You back to the stage again , I bet a lot of your fans like your comments and introductions . Do not stop your enthusiasm to show us about ordinary people in entire China . 加油！
This is so wonderful and exhilarating to see! I was in Tibet for 9 days in 2001. It's really heartening to see developments headed by Tibetan entrepreneurs like this. Love it! Missed your videos and can't wait to watch your next video!
Wow, I could not stop smiling through this whole video -- what an incredible place. I've never been to Tibet, but it certainly reminded me a bit of Nepal when the locals would trickle down from the mountains, lanterns like beads on a necklace, and join us for evening gatherings, often outnumbering the travelers and making it a *real* party :)
Fantastic to see you back in action. The last one you really appeared in was in Chongqing and that was a while ago. Thanks for sharing this travelogue, enjoy!
Douyin has many Tibetan dance performance on the street videos, must be very popular across China. Tourists putting on Tibetan clothes to learn dance steps with the locals would be a holiday trip highlight.
