RARE & STRANGE DELICACIES on REMOTE Yunnan Street Market | EP22, S2 

Really like videos of these kind of untouristy scenes of China. With your translation and explanation in English, it really helps non-Chinese speaking ethnic Chinese all over the world to understand and enjoy their heritage. Thanks to you we get to see and experience the wider China through your videos. Great job. Love it!

I enjoy watching you showing my hometown Yunnan to the world. I am so touched that you are so nice and sweet, and people who interact with you are also so kind and friendly. For some reason, i am just thinking about that the world really need to see China from people like you, the true and genuine sides of the massive diverse China. I am so tire of the frigging news that bad mouth China all day long for no fact-based BS.

Thank you so much for the subtitles! I know they are extra work, but it’s so helpful to have the English and Mandarin side by side, for those of us who know a little and want to do better. I spent 6 months in China on a teaching exchange and I love the people and culture so much. Your channel both helps me remember it and makes me miss it more. Thanks for what I know is a lot of hard work.

Thanks!

Yan, It's been an absolute pleasure watching your videos. I never leave comments on videos, but I am compelled to write this comment to tell you how thankful I am you decide to share your adventures with us all and how glad I am to find your channel! You do an excellent job of showcasing these lesser known places in China, and I think you are much more knowlegable than the other youtubers who make videos about Chinese cities. I love all the drone footage too! Your authenticity and sincerity really shines through in these videos you make. This is just my opinion, but I think you are fully invested in making content that satisfies your own interests and not concerned about following trends and thinking about what gets you more views (though you are growing quickly in subscribers). I find that when content is not motivated by growth or viewership, the results are so much better, and it certainly helps that you are such a good ambassador to all the places you visit. Your humility and warmth is unmatched and I hope it stays this way. You show the kindness in humanity in a time where media often just shows the worst of it. After you are done touring China, I hope you get to travel the rest of the world again, and I am excited to see where you go next! 😊

Hi Yen, I bumped into your channel 3 weeks ago and now me and my wife watch all your videos while we have our dinner every night. We luv your opening line when you say 'Good morning internet' 😂. We will be travelling to Guangzhou next month to visit our families after 4 yrs lockdown and we are so excited to come home.

太棒了，独特的视角不仅仅让外国人更多的了解中国的文化和风土人情，更让我这样的中国人知道了我生活之外的其他地方，与我们是多么的不一样。感谢你的不辞辛苦的分享了这么多精彩的内容！

I sincerely hope that the mainstream media like CGTN will produce some documentaries with your videos from both seasons so many more people can enjoy what you do. They are the most enjoyable, honest and informative videos I have had the pleasure of watching. I hope in the future you will do a season on the amazing infrastructure in China, the outstanding modern projects created in recent years. You never fail to make me smile when you say good morning at the beginning of each program. Looking forward to your next video.

Another great video. Thank you for sharing and taking the time to highlight these interesting locations. 加油！

I really like watching your videos. I appreciate how you explain the different types of foods and especially enjoy the ambiance of the towns and villiages that you visit. Please keep on making your videos. ❤

It is indeed a festive mood for the people up there, a scene resembled to the Malaysian Pasar Tani but they are in a bigger scale. Glad that we have the chance to experience the Yunnan street market at the expense of Little Chinese girl's effort ......! Well done again......Xie xie....!😍🤩

As a Canadian-born Chinese, I am learning more about my motherland through you. Thank you!

OMG you are making so many people want to go to these towns and markets. I would eat all day.❤

So enlightening to watch this video. As a foreigner, we don't get to see this of China. Thank you Yan.

Your videos I just found.. I want to learn at my age I never stop learning even I as a teacher need to keep learning myself.. Thank you for your video.. I love them I think that the more we let people teach us about the life they live we have peace of community in this world

Another wonderful video I love watching. The faces and foods were familiar to me in my childhood days in Vientiane, Laos, a country next to Yunnan Province. We had a handful of minorities from the highland, coming in to the capital to sell their produce. They were Mio, Yi and a few more. They did not speak much Laotian, nor my own mother tongue of Mandarin. In my school, I had a few classmates they were minority, but seldom would they tell me about their background. Anyway, we sang the same national anthem and pledged the same slogan, every day in the school playground before we started our lesson for the day. Believe me, they were the national anthem of the Republic of China, and the slogan to take back Mainland! Our Chinese teachers were from Taiwan (RoC) and must be faithful KMT believers. But, I am now a naturalized Singaporean, and I love my adopted country as well as my far away birth country, that is China.

This video is so unique. The variety of products and the variety of people who are in it makes it a rich viewing experience. thank you!

What you’re doing is very important and necessary!! We are big fans. Love from Los Angeles

This is such a delightful channel, I can’t think of any other word. It’s charming, apologies there are more. It’s such an easy relaxing watch, which makes me smile throughout - every video. Your connection to the people, wherever you go makes it evident what a kid gentleman soul your are, people gravitate toward you and it’s easy to see why. You make these videos which I hope you never change the format because it works and makes it unique to you. Love the channel and watching these journeys ❤

Gracias!!!!, too much thanks to you, for show us your wonderful country!!!, i am from Chile, a country in Latinoamérica, so, its very amazing to know your big homenaje.

Unico canale in internet che mostra la vera vita reale in Cina. Fantastico. Grazie infinite Yan. un grande abbraccio dall'Italia.

Love your videos..... How refreshing to see China through different perspective. Love the way you show the common people going about their daily life♥️

Thank you!

I am so jealous of the different kinds of tofu they sell. Looks so delicious!

Watching your videos makes me want to visit China one day. I like the environment there. We rarely see this kind of unseen environment in our TV about China. 😍

Bravo! I love that you take us with you to areas that foreign tourist would never see.

Spent 3 awesome years in China and still couldnt getting over it. Really love this country.

Rural China looks so beautiful and interesting. We just found your channel today and have watched quite a few videos. People all look so welcoming and all the places look so unique ❤

The red berry with sparkles is called Goumi in Japan. The round knobbly red fruit is Strawberry Tree - made into jam or liquor in Portugal. The Dried Kaki,in Taiwan, is dehydrated, ground to a powder and used to dip slices fruit like asian pear or pineapple, very good! Thank you for the vudeo of the market!

In America there are not so many different types of food. It is wonderful seeing the varieties of food at China's markets.

I feel hungry watching your videos in Yunnan! Haha. Surprisingly, similar foods are available in Indonesia, especially in the area where I live. Yes, I’m of Chinese descent - believed to be coming from Yunnan. Maybe that’s why the foods you showed look very similar to what I usually eat. Keep up the good work!

This place looks like a movie from the past decades. Very interesting with real-life scenes of ordinary folks. I love watching this more than any touristy place from the major Chinese cities. People seem very happy and contented with rural life by just selling small items of low value. Slow moving pace of life but very meaningful.

It’s such an entertaining way to learn so much of China’s culture and way of life. Please keep educating all of us, thank you!

I'm really enjoying this channel. It's a very open eye'd look into Chinese culture I would otherwise never experience. All hosted by one of the cutest hosts on youtube! Keep going! I really enjoy your content.

I went to China many years ago. I love these old towns and street stalls and market places. So good that they are still around. It's great to see these you introduce China this way. 👍

A wonderful market indeed! This is a wonderland. I feel I could explore it for a week - trying different fruits, roots, vegetables (insects?); learning novel tastes and smells but in the end not understanding a word of it.

Thank you, your video is so interesting. People in Shiping are so accommodating and the town stretches quite an area. The segment I love most is the cautious uncle who scanned your note for counterfeit. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="515">8:35</a> Eels fried with dried chillis is delicious and nutritious. Eel is rich in omega-3 fatty acids - for anti-aging and if you want to conceive, eat more eels. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="879">14:39</a> Rice wine has a very high alcohol content. If you use black glutinous rice; a slight difference. Cook neat, with chicken, black fungus, lots of ginger then laced with brandy before eating, very potent. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1066">17:46</a> It reminded me of your haircut at our Indian barbershop. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1342">22:22</a> Chinese artichoke same family with Cordyceps. Make chicken soup to boost fatigue and energy level.

Excellent work and a very enjoyable watch. At times I could almost smell the herbs in this market. 👃

Nihao Yan ! I just want to tell you that I'm really a big fan of your content ! China is a country that fascinate me, and with your videos I can travel and discover so much thing !! Thank you very much and friendship from France :)

I am glad to see your channel steadily growing, with more and more people recognizing you as one of the best youtuber about traveling

I am from Pakistan 🇵🇰 and I love your videos. Absolutely in love with watching local Chinese markets,culture , food and different cities. Can’t wait to visit China again soon 🇨🇳❤️

Your chanel is absolutely amazing!! Thank you for showing to the world your wonderful and beautiful country the way you do. Will continue to follow all your adventures with you from the Caribbean, Puerto Rico. Lot of love!!

Thanks for your hard work in producing and subtitling all your videos. I enjoy watching your travels and learning Chinese.

I really love the way your videos are made and Im learning a lot about the places you visit. Im actually addicted to watching them all now. I cant wait for the next one!

Love your shows. Always looking forward new releases. Thanks for sharing positive things about China. It has inspired me and my family to plan a trip there in the future.

You are fast on your way to 100,000 subscribers! I just hope you take your time going through all the provinces, because we want to watch your videos for a long time!

That was GREAT! You brave girl ! I am 74 years old, getting an education . Thank you

What a joy watching unfamiliar markets in China that I had no idea existed, thank you for sharing :)

In China, the fermented sweet rice they call “Jiuniang” or “Laozao”, But in Malaysia & Singapore, we cal, it "Tapai".

Very interesting. Amazing at how diverse our options for food are, if only we explored a bit more than usual. Thanks

Those houses around the market look so old. If that town was in Italy people would go crazy over it but for some reason the media doesn't promote the beauty of China. Thanks for this video

云南is the birth place for roses. Wonderful place for funa and Flora. Interesting food and Bazaar u have there.

I love the dedication to all your videos❤. It makes me really want to visit china one day😭

One of your best videos yet! Yunnan has so many amazing places

China should appoint you as Tourist Ambassador of China.

I've backpacked around China a little but I wish I could have travelled with a local like you. You would make a great guide! Keep up the great work, I'm enjoying your videos!!

Interesting market. You are right about well water on that Shiping Tofu. In Sumedang (West Java, Indonesia) also had famous delicious Tofu brought here by Huárén 华人 the delicious taste can't compare to others places in Indonesia. It's also said the well water in Sumedang that makes the Tofu tastes delicious. 😊

Great travels: food, medicine & changing dialects all with smiles. I’m sure the fresh taste is savory. The aerial view is good to see; inclusive with the taste/aroma of being there. Thank you so much for showing us.

I love traditional market ! And loves its atmosphere : the regular folks both sellers and buyers , down to earth , especially the elders trying to earn even on old age. You know its made of love either deliciously cook or tenderly grown . Most of the times , I have to watch my pocket , not from snatchers , but buying more as an appreciation of their effort. I can control myself buying fancy dresses / shoes in commercialized fancy shopping malls , although I can afford it , but not in market like you shown us 😊😅

I just discovered your channel today. I love your videos and this one was a real treat for someone who has never visited anywhere in China. I enjoyed your ‘narrowest city’ video as well. Looking forward to watching the rest. Also I love your drone shots. Thanks for the care you put into these!

妳的英語很好小姐最喜歡妳的天真😂！一把菜是one Bunch of Vegetable What does a bunch of vegetables mean? The USDA uses the term “bunches” to describe specific units or amounts of several produce types, such as beets, broccoli, carrots, kale, and so on. 泥鰍 英語叫Loach or eel 加油我們一起打氣喔！

Thank you, good to see these videos to learn more about the Chinese people and way they live and eat. If there is another life when one goes I would love to be born in China to a good kind and loving family. Take care till next time.

My love is with you! You are a brilliant cinema and story teller. Thank you!

I like styles of your video very much because i feel like i be there. very good thanks.

I really love your channel. Truly beautiful unseen China. I went to Xian in 2018 and have been wanting to visit China again. Hopefully, I can explore Chengdu this November.

Now that is some street market! Food food and more food.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="927">15:27</a> the sweet rice wine, we call it TAPAI here in Malaysia. Its really interesting to see so many different things/foods/fruits, People/elderly was so nice & friendly too. What an amazing Market! xie xie Yan for another wonderful exploration!

I learn so much about your country I love the history of the different people's or tribes scattered throughout China.. I suppose you give us an unedited and more honest version of daily living.. thank you.

*You are a courageous woman and visiting everywhere alone.* *My Pure Divine Love and respect to you.* *【 I'm from Kolkata, West Bengal, INDIA.】*

It's seems so festive, everyone is so friendly, there's a good-neighbourly feeling all round.

I feel like local 中国人 after watching this. Thanks for adding the subtitles.

what a beautiful city and beautiful people , thanks for the video to share this with us , these people here look really happy and their lives look good unlike some of the poor people in the huge chinese cities living in the ugly projects

Thanks for a wonderful experience and I love the fact that the food is so natural and healthy.

I enjoyed it very much. It was authentic and human. Regards from New Zealand.

That's what makes Yan's vlog so interesting. It's the places outside of the big cities and it's locals that's very special. I've always enjoyed touring with Yan. Yan - would it be possible for you to give details (i.e. how to reach these rural areas if one flies in to Shanghai or Beijing or any other airports in China) before one can like take a domestic flight, train (Maglev) or bus into these small townships? Giving the cost of travel would be helpful too. While I understand that the price may vary but knowing an estimate would allow some planning if travel on budget. 😊 As always, Thank you Yan!❤

After seeing a number of your videos I find that what is most typical of China is its immense variety of food!! It is also an astonishingly beautiful country, I never knew that. I am an old man I remember the bad times China has gone through since 1950, It is great to see that times are better now.

I like your videos very much.. I started watching ur videos jst recently...... I Knew China only through movies, so i only know abt kung fu, noodles and dumpling.....bt ur videos shows how diverse China is in many way i.e linguistically, ethnically, geographically etc I think the current place ur in is geographically similar to my place, coz I recognized some fruits and it's only found in my sides of region in our country

You have became one of my favorite youtubers! Always the good work. Keep it up, Yan!

Hi i'm from Brazil, I found you channel recently and i watching many videos i like chinese culture, i have a suggestion for you might visit Terracotta Army someday ? 😄

Thank againl love your videosl. Very satisying, enjoyable, & pleasant to viewl. Learn alot about China Life from your beautiful & wonderful videos!

Soo lovely!!! It's sooo intresting learning about Chinese people, food and culture. Support and wishes from India 🇮🇳🇨🇳

Thanks for these beautiful videos views sites I'll would love go to China on day

I'm in Dali at the moment, just came here from Lijiang. Good to watch your local videos, before and after.

The last berry you've tried is called Goumi berry. There are two versions (Sweet & Sour) of Goumi berry in my hometown of Myanmar which closer to Yunnan border.

most indepth channel about China life.

So interesting seeing the food & items on sale...some weird looking stuff but its food to the locals here...reminds me of my hometown years ago we called them Sunday market and the local villagers will come by and sell their produce and/or merchandise...it is very popular & fun.....thanks to you we see what life is in rural China....in their natural surroundings. Thank you again!

Another great adventure! Thank you!

Love it 🥰 great video!

I stumbled onto your channel a month ago after a trip to Yunnan! Since then, have been watching two a day! I wish I had seen your channel before my trip so I can go to your places rather than the normal touristy ones! Hopefully you'll make your way to 东北 soon because I'm looking forward to some cool travel places ideas!

I have been watching your videos for a few months now and I love them and you have such a beautiful smile it makes me smile

I impressed with this kind of market 😮

♥️ VERY INFORMATIVE, CHINA IS GROWING TO BE A MASTER INFLUENCE.♥️

The many images of China shown by your videos in Shiping, Yunnan in variety of foods, produce, people, local fashions, etc. I enjoy & appreciate..!

Thank you very much Yan for another wonderful video of unseen China 😊

Please do more Yunnan videos ☺️

I can not believe that you are in Jianshui and live so close to my family. My family lives near Zitao street!!!!! I love your videos! Your big fan from Jianshui!!!!

You give us such a refreshing account of the diversity in your lovely country. The beautiful language (dialect), huge varieties of local food, simplicity of life you showcase is such a gem. I like the way you are so relateble to the locals. Life must be hard for so many of them but they don't seem to mind and keep on working.

I never see these type of verious vegetables, and others eatable things, very very wonderful,

This is my new favorite channel. The host is so likeable, and the travel is so interesting. Peace.

*Wow mm I am already in love with your channel. I really love the contents you create,the way you speak is really cute and soothing. It's a quite different way of seeing places and things in China. Watching from Karachi, Pakistan.* 🇵🇰
