I drove through a STREET FOOD MARKET | S2, EP57 

I think its pretty cool and unique we get to have a vlogger who speaks perfect Chinese, knows the Culture better than any outsider, and still continues to speak in English for her audience to understand. She deserves more than 250k followers imo! Im glad i ran into her, i like the videography and her interaction with the locals. Keep the videos coming!

The more I watch your vídeos the more I get in love with China and his resilient people. I’m a brazilian woman and perceive that our people are not prepare to survive at hard times as the chineses. Everywhere is a market and people are selling farming product or food. Chinese people are hard workers!

I LOVE that we have you to connect two seperate worlds, it's so hard for westerners to see daily life in china because of the different governments and laws and how they have their own social media that isnt facebook and youtube. THANK YOU for showing me just how similar we all are in spite of the differences we think we have ❤❤❤

Now I think I understand why your videos are so good: You do not show us a street market - you take us right there into the middle of the market. I felt almost I am having a breakfast myself. And what a feast that was! But, but - you have got one big problem: you have one stomach only! Absolutely great video! Thank you so much.

“My hotel is in a food street…”.😂😂😂 My kind of hotel.😂😂😂😂

Best English language podcast in China! I'm looking forward to seeing it every Friday. Stay safe on your scooter. Yan is a Chinese treasure. 🚴‍♀

The opportunity to have you and your bilingual skills interacting with the Chinese community is a huge privilege to share! Very warm and inviting people. Always eagerly inquiring about a stranger next to them.

Definitely take your time and don't push yourself to do too much. Your positive vibes always come through in the videos because you're enjoying it 😊

Your videos are getting better and better. As an Overseas-Chinese, I really enjoy watching places in China where few tourists go.

Liuzhou is the second largest city in Guangxi, and it is actually the city with the highest share of electric vehicles in China. In fact, you can specialize in a phase of Liuzhou's electric vehicles. Go to the streets and parking lots to see them. It is difficult to see them in other domestic cities. There are so many kinds of small electric vehicles for transportation.

China's gastronomic richness is fantastic!!! When I heard the rooster crow I remembered text 80 of the Dao De Jing: " A small country has fewer people. Although there are machines that can work ten to a hundred times faster than man, they are not necessary. People take death seriously and don't travel far. Although they have boats and carriages, no one uses them. Although they have armor and weapons, no one displays them. Men go back to tying ropes instead of writing. Your food is simple and good, your clothes are good but simple, their safe houses; They are happy in their ways. Although they live in full view of their neighbors, And the crowing of roosters and the barking of dogs are heard across the path, However, they leave each other alone as they grow old and die in peace."

one day I would love to come to China just to experience the vast variety of foods. It simply looks breathtaking. In the west, knowledge about wild foods has been erased by commercial foods, tragically. Thank you for introducing us to this culturally important side.

My wife and I have been avidly following your videos for the past week, and we're absolutely captivated by the rich content you share. It's particularly meaningful for me as my father, a dedicated geography teacher, instilled in me a deep fascination for exploring diverse cultures and understanding the world. Your masterful use of both camera and drone technology truly breathes life into rural China, allowing us to vividly experience its beauty and intricacies. Your work has not only entertained us but also reignited that sense of wonder and appreciation for the world that my father ignited in me. Thank you for creating such inspiring content!

Yan, the most priority is your safety, enjoy all the journey that you choose, stay healthy too ... No worry, I (we) will patiently await every of your amazing vlog ... Thank you so much and Take care 💐🌹🪴🌻

Hey, you are multi-talented, riding a motorbike, singing, filming and operating drones. Well done! :D

I always look forward to you wonderful videos; I am especially eager to see Hainan Island. I have read several novels, in English, set during the Tang Dynasty, where Hainan was presented as a jungle like place, where people who displeased emperors were exiled. I am curious to see the modern day, real life Hainan. Also, straying from the topic of your videos: I live in Atlanta, Georgia (USA), and I often go to a "Dunkin' Doughnuts" (doughnuts, coffee, ice cream) nearby; while I was there, yesterday, two gentlemen approached me in order to give me money. While I look shabby and can easily be mistaken for someone homeless, I do have an apt., with internet (obviously🙂. We chatted briefly and they told me they were from somewhere near the Great Wall, but I did not recognize the name of the city. Anyway, what made this whole incident so sweet was not that they wanted to give me money, but that they showed kindness towards a stranger. That did me more good than money - to know there is kindness, all over the world. Take care and happy journey!

Thanks! just a small gesture of appreciation. great videos 👍👍🤗🤗. love from canada.

Dr Yan got so many hidden talents that I lost count.

Wow, so much variety and such low prices ! Also this town seems to have such nice and friendly people. Thanks for taking us there Yan !

Liu Zhou has about the same population as my hometown of Brisbane, Australia. It is hard for many people to comprehend just how many people live in China and how big the country is. In fact every person in Australia could fit into Shanghai! 😮 But you are doing a wonderful job of somehow ‘shrinking’ China to a more digestible size by focusing on local people, cuisine and culture. I would love to travel through China with a guide to taste all the amazing food!

Love your unseen china video,you show how real Chinese people live and work,the way you interact with the local people,your video always interesting to see and learn from,eyes opening❤👍

Hello Yan. I am so enjoying journeying through China with you ... the parts of China the public never see. I am from UK and would have just loved to travel around your beautiful country when younger ... but not allowed in those days. You do a fantastic job: very courageous, and brilliant editing with drone shots and music the fits perfectly. Thank you so much

Little Yan, food is what makes everyone happy 😊 China has perfected a system of providing every single of its people easy access to fresh food, by clever city planning. And of course tradition does play an important role. Keep safe!

I traveled to China for the first time because of you. I have spent my new year in Lijiang & kunming. Really enjoyed my trip & would love to come back ❤❤❤❤

Awesome street foods :)

With all our health and safety rules in Uk we'd never get away with all those street food stalls. And... the supermarkets would probably have something to say about it, too. Asian and south east Asian countries cater for the people's pockets (moneywise), so much more sensible. Another lovely video and full of learning and friendly people.

I wish you all the best with your plan. We will go along to see beautiful 🇨🇳 China.

Yan, u r the best vlogger. Progressing from a small scooter to a bigger bike, you take all in your stride. One cool gal. A bright ray of sunshine. Take your time n let us merge with your exuberance of food n travel around little China seen through Yan's eyes. ❤

❤ thank you for taking us on the adventure!! ❤

Delicious fruit

Very interesting street food. Some of the food are quite similar to the Chinese food that one can get in Malaysia

I’m so pleased to hear that you’re planning to travel to Hainan Island, my ancestral homeland. I’ve never visited the place and am waiting for you to show me. My grandparents came from there.

I would give more thumbs up for your singing 😍

If there’s one thing we can trust Yan to do it’s to eat her way through every city on her journey. Yan makes food stops like fish balls on a skewer lol

Fun!! I really enjoy all the food and appreciate you describing and tasting things I have never seen before. I love sticky rice balls, dipped in spicy sauce. What a great adventure!

Yan, as always you exceeded your previous posts. What aJoy!!! You and hubby should consider motorbike tours, clearly you are courageous and very skilled! What an adventure. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. You show the side of personable, kindness and beauty of every spot you go to. From Tony, your biggest Fan. Be well and travel safe okay?

Hence, the journey continues Yan. Thank you for the enjoyable vlog. Take care and stay safe, enjoy the ride!! ❤❤❤

The noodles look delicious. I love seeing the food in the different places in China.

A truly unique and exceptional travel video, this perspective is particularly captivating for international viewers. During my university years, I explored over a hundred towns, cities, and villages in remote areas of Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Hainan, and Guangxi, spanning several years. While staying at a guesthouse in Xishuangbanna, I had the pleasure of meeting a friendly and tall young Belgian couple on their honeymoon. They warmly invited me to join them in their Yunnan tour, and the three of us, along with a briefly joined British student from University of Reading, traveled together through Yunnan. We discussed many aspects of Chinese folk tourism that are of great interest to Western travelers. Your vlogs evoke fond memories of those wonderful times. Keep up the good work, showcasing more of our country's beautiful landscapes and rich cultural heritage.

Have you ever been to Meizhou City? My father and mother in law came from there (Chiu) and she moved to Thailand first and he moved there during the cultural revolution and had to walk about 300m in marshes and fields to get to Hong Kong in about 1944-45 and then took a boat to Thailand. They are Hakka - He passed away long ago but not until I was able to hear his stories of his journey and life in China. He always referred to China as Red China. Before he passed he was able to visit a brother in Meizhou and another in Taiwan. Many Hakka left during this time and settled in Thailand and Singapore and Taiwan and many other places. I love your videos and appreciate you

I see little Chinese, I press like

Yan, you are a treasure. Much love from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 & the UK 🇬🇧.

Zhongguo, memang negri yg luas. Semangat🔛🔥

Thanks!

Liuzhou food is almost Cantonese cuisine. Dimsum/ steamed taro cake/ delicious yet nutritious dessert/ jizai bing.. all these can be found in Guandong province & HK & some parts of S.E.A

The way you address vendors are very respectful. I like that and you have my respect 🫡

This is one of your best vlog yet. Admire your smiley face, voice and down to earth approach 👏🏻

Liuzhou people are indeed lucky to enjoy such cheap wonderful fresh produce. The strawberries and citruses do look amazing!

Hello from St Louis, Missouri-Love your personality and channel. New Subscriber-Happy 2024!

Greetings Miss Yan and Team. Happy 😊🎉NewYear. Great to see again this year. Thanks so much.😊

I love how every older market seller loves talking to you and asking questions like you are their own granddaughter 😊

Liuzhou, EV capital of the world! Home of GM JV Wuling Motors.

❤ Lovely episode! 👍Got to thank you for wanting to take a couple days off and being able to let us explore the local culture with you. Like your interactions with the locals, they are hard working and kind people🫡❤. Ps. You have a beautiful voice 🎶👏😃

Yes Yan - The more you ride, the more experienced you will be. Please go slow and steady, safety always comes first. Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful journey with us. 謝謝妳，感恩❤

I love these bike adventures, they’ve really got that open world video game magic to them.

I love your video. Your 劉三姐song was singing very good. Thank you for showing all these street foods. I wish some day I will have chance to try.

always watching from philipines .. i want your videos.. ❤❤ i feel im in china too.

the food in china looks so delicious !

Very brave lady drive alone with motorcycle around China. Awesome 👏

Great content as always! Love your singing while riding. People who don’t ride a motorbike won’t realize how tiring it can be compared to riding in a car. Your warm and genuine demeanor make your videos a pleasure to watch! Much love from the US.

That was amazing! Thanks again for showing China to us.

I miss the bus travel with the locals. I know it took longer but I enjoyed it.

You have a beautiful voice. Thank you for your wonderful video, I love seeing the places where you travel, places I can visit through you.

so love that you let us meet the people, love it.

Little Chinese...Big Bowl!!! 🥣 Looked sooo good. Loved your singing, too!

Beautiful job and thank you for singing! Yes: we definitely want you to take your time and we want you to be home or Spring Festival! Be safe and continue on your wonderful. adventure. Such a beautiful country!

Amazing travels. The food with pleasant exchanges and feeling of emotion of prosperity and always close to home ! Thank you so much ❗️

Thank you for the nice video about street food market 👍

Yan you look cool with all your gear on your motor bike. Like how you have two cameras covering your ride.

Don't push. Stay well rested. You need to be when riding two wheels.

you are wise in taking the slow boat to china - there is no need to rush, but there is a need to take time...... to make time to enjoy your travels. It is often the spontaneous trips that are the most rewarding - Happy Trails

"Itchy Boots" of China. 😁 I love it.

小姐姐骑车注意安全呀，祝你旅途愉快，拍更多精彩的视频🎉

Take care Little chinese girl ..❤❤😂😂 cautious n safely ..😂😂❤❤

I was really looking forward this video dedicated to Liuzhou! I'm a french passeport holder and while traveling alone to China I made my way through Guangxi province as well, and finally ended up in Liuzhou. Already a month ago. Great memories with locals, I really enjoyed my time there. The city itself has it own specificities, especially about food, don't hesitate to try Luosifen (螺蛳粉) meal. Thank you Yan! Always glad to see your updates. Let's meet another time, somewhere, hahaha

You said it right, Yan‼️Enjoy your vlog journey. Have fun. 🌞 Stay safe. 😍 🥳👏👏💐💞

Thank you for the insightful sharing of your trip to Liuzhou city. Yes, you are a pragmatic and purposeful traveller. The travel adventure is interesting and yet enigmatic. It is mixed of old and modern landscape. I especially like the food street that captured the local flavour and speciality. Indeed, it is a breathtaking experience for foreigners! Where will we go next?

Beautiful Just Yan, your rapport with people is always on the Up! An easy day, eating well. So much food though, does it all get consumed at the end of the day? What happens to leftovers? Compost? Or? Remarkable interactions, always in ascending humor. You are a Blessing Yan, full throttle at that, biker!............

These videos are amazing. Your video editing, choice of sound tracks, and what you choose to shoot is really good. It's a pleasure to see another side of China, the side anyone could relate to. But please drive carefully! Long trip ahead!

I hope you do get to Hainan! I love Hainanese chicken rice :D

Thank you for your wonderful videos. I do so enjoy going on journeys through China with you. I can almost taste the yummy looking foods too ❤

So much choice!! I love trying new food to experience new tastes. All part of the adventure. You are right in saying that the more practice you get riding your bike, the better you will become. I had a similar experience when I got my first motorised transport. Took a while to get used to the seat. Before long, I went everywhere. It being very economical. Very happy you have your own transport. You can go direct to where you want to go instead of jumping on different trains or buses. Not surprisingly, every vendor said it was very yummy!! 😃 Thank you for another wonderful video!!

I always look forward to your videos!

The foods looks so yummy (even tho many I won't able to eat because religious reason), and the portions are always so big! The city markets looks really lively. Take good rest, miss Yan, before your next ride.

😂😂😂 Yan can carry a tune too. Bravo.

Hi sis 💐

No hurry take your time Yan! It seems to me you're enjoying life n guess what!.. you sing very well n you got a beautiful voice as well. Yummy those food market makes me crazy. I wish I was there! Thanks for another nice episode . Guangxi my roots.

Guangxi food looks amazing. It reminds me so much of Guangdong (Cantonese) food. Looking forward to more of your travels. You're the best at what you do, Yan! ❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much for regularly sharing your trips. Your videos are always excellent quality and such a pleasure to watch!

Lucky that I found your channel. Never seen China this way. Greetings from Peshawar Pakistan.

Yan, your video sharing is really an eye opener & it's so awesome. If ever i don't have a chance to visit all the unseen China but at least I have seen it through your videos. Xie xie Yan.

The street foods are so tempting 🤔🤔 maybe i plan a trip there in the future, thanks Yan

Thanks for your beautiful travel vlog! i watch every one of them and thoroughly enjoy everyone.

I would love to do this adventure. To travel by scooter through China would be fantastic!

Hi again from the UK and thank you once again for another very enjoyable video, take care and keep safe and well. 💘💖

Another great food paradise in Liuzhou. Thank you for taking us there.🥰

Just riding a motorbike while filming 2 cameras simultaneously alone is a talent but you sing too!! And you can sing, I like it. 😂

Love this episode, but I'll probably love the next one even more, with the water snail noodles (Luosifen noodles). I have 2 packets here at home, but haven't tried them yet. Of course, they are not completely fresh, but I've heard that they are pretty good ones. I'm still trying to work out what fresh ingredients to add. They do have a certain reputation, so it'll be interesting to find out what you think of them.

Love this new series of yours. That soup looked so deliscious. It's like a full meal.
