Hey everyone, today is my lucky day! I met a new friend, Xiaolong. He's a local from Heku and currently works in Fenghuang County. Xiaolong is not only a trained cook but also a talented writer with thoughtful ideas. We quickly became friends and started chatting under the pouring rain at the bus station.
With his company, my tour became much more fun. As we explored the market, I got to see things from a local's perspective. Constantly asking Xiaolong about everything that sparked my curiosity about Heku, I began to realize there's a gap between the younger and older generations here. Surprisingly, there are many local traditions that Xiaolong didn't even know about.
Because of the heavy rain and the lack of shuttle buses, I had to cut this trip short. However, it made me even more excited about my tour tomorrow to the market in Shanjiang Town.
Alright, guys! I'm going to relax a bit and do some editing. Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed the video. See you in the next video!

Wow. I loved the vibes, rainy and foggy climate makes up for a charming scenery. I hope your project reaches the algorithm because there're not many channels like yours, showing local china from this perspective. So far, I've been able to meet naxi, tibetan and now miao people thanks to this kind of channels, worth more than a thousand books on the topic. Keep it up, I enjoyed it very much😁

Thank you so much for your kind review! I enjoyed making this video as much as you watching it. So glad to hear you like our China local culture. There is so much more I want to express in the future videos.

Thank you for this marvellous presentation. I see you have already posted some videos on RU-vid. I will take my time to watch them all. Just a quick question. Where did you pick up your spoken English? You are good. Wish you success and all the best. Grandpa 76.

From ancient time we alway called ourselves Hmong (Mong), but the Chinese historians documented Miao.

@ThroughTheJayLens 2 дня назад

Interesting! As Chinese, ever since I was little, Miao was always known as Miao. I’d like to learn more about Hmong!

@dlubtxhib785 4 дня назад

Only those remaining in China called themselves Miao, but those of us outside of China are known as Hmong

@ThroughTheJayLens 4 дня назад

Wow! Thanks! Learned something more! I wonder how Hmong culture has shifted from Miao culture, since your culture is so fascinating!

@dlubtxhib785 4 дня назад

@@ThroughTheJayLens A few hundred years of hardship from China through SE Asia to the US. Our origin of Miao is too far gone, nowadays most Hmong identified ourselves as SE Asian American rather than Asian American. You should come to the US to learn more of our unique modern culture evolved.

Interesting vlog…but where is Heku? You mentioned Fenghuang? What province? Where do the Miao people live predominantly? It would be good if you include more detail information like this in your travels. Thank you!

@ThroughTheJayLens 4 дня назад

Thanks for watching! I included most of your questions in the pervious video. For your convenience, Heku is in Fenghuang county, and is in Hunan province! The whole Xiangxi area is where Miao people live. So, there are tons of places around that area are worth going. BTW, Xiangxi is the Miao and Tujia prefecture that covers a big part of Hunan province.

Thanks for sharing! How to travel there by train?

@ThroughTheJayLens 4 дня назад

Thanks for watching! For Chinese citizen, it is easier to book a train ticket on a phone app. Unfortunately, ordering a ticket using passport will only be available at ticket office. It is a little inconvenient. Most people travel to Fenghuang from Jishou or Changsha. To figure out whether there is a train from your place to Fenghuang, the simplest way is to go to apps like 12306 or Feizhu.

@xian4616 5 дней назад

Wow ,nice which website to book?

@ThroughTheJayLens 2 дня назад

I think the general ones which are being used outside of China should work. However, if you are looking for better deal or more options, the Chinese app like Fei Zhu and Xiecheng should be better.

Hi ,which month to go ,?

@ThroughTheJayLens 4 дня назад

I think it is good all year round. However, it is a bit cold during the winter though. There is no heater indoor in most southern parts of China during the winter.
