I visit one of the most relaxed, laidback cities in all of China, if not the world!
I travel to the coastal city of Xiamen, in Fujian Province, which is in my opinion one of the most chill cities in the whole of the country, and take a stroll around the once-polluted Yundang Lake, right in the middle of the city.
I see for myself how the ecosystem has been revitalised, bringing back thousands and thousands of beautiful birds to the area; especially the beautiful ‘bailu’ or white egrets.
Whether you're a nature enthusiast, environmental advocate, or simply curious about incredible transformations taking place in China, this video is for you!
Here are some more amazing places in Fujian Province that you might not have seen before:
China's Bioluminescent Beaches: • China's GLOW IN THE DA...

68 Nautical Miles from Taiwan: • Why the Beaches Closes...

I have watched Stu‘s other Fujian videos (beautiful villages, beaches which are tourist attractions) and I feel Fujian province really has some beautiful places who have calming, relaxing, romantic vibes very good for vacation and retirement too. If I am correct Fujian province, maybe except Xiamen, is not among the top popular provinces for domestic tourists. However, I think Fujian province definitely has more attractive places not yet being developed for tourism. Btw, Xiamen was voted one of top liveable cities in China. The places in this video also reminds of Tianchi in Kunming.

According to news report, Xiamen city young mayor went to visit Singapore to find out how Singapore could become a beautiful and clean city with 5 million people living in a small area. He used Singapore model to build up Xiamen city . It showed when a government official in China wants to learn from others to improve his country or cities , he will succeed. Deng Xiaping also went o Singapore to learn how to improve China economy.

@@nanyanguo1 The Chinese government used to send all their talented young officials to SG for training programs in urban studies and management. They didn't send them to other countries. You might have confused diplomatic delegations for actual training programs.

@@aero.l dont confuse management or skill training with China learning the econ model to adopt for their country , Countries in the early stage of development and urbanisation will not have enough pple with the knowledge, experience n skills to perform their tasks . So quite common for these countries to send their pple overseas for training . China was no exception . They could send their officials to western countries or japan for the same type of training but Singapore would be more cost savings n wont have language problem for them ..

The sky there is a gloomy gray because the air is extremely polluted.

@TravelinChina 4 месяца назад

What?

@genec390 4 месяца назад

Have you been to Xiamen recently to know that it has an air pollution problem? Furthermore, have you been to China recently? If air is extremely polluted, the far away objects like buildings would be fuzzy but they can be clearly seen in the video. Also, Xiamen is a coastal city. Have you lived close to the ocean before? If you have, then you would understand what marine layer is all about. When there is marine layer, the entire sky would appear gray. Sometimes when the layer is thick you wouldn't be able to see the sun or blue sky until after noon. Finally, there are plenty of videos from other RU-vidrs on Xiamen and you should be able to come to the conclusion that pollution is not an issue in Xiamen. I suspect you are just a member of the China bad camp.

@user-ex9je5fm5e 4 месяца назад

@@genec390 I live in Wuhan as another foreigner, and have been a resident for over 15 years. Having spent considerable time here, I am well acquainted with the quality of air in this region. It's important to address the misconceptions surrounding the fog seen in many videos and photos, which some foreigners mistakenly attribute to air pollution without understanding the local climate dynamics. The weather in southeastern China, particularly along the Yangtze River, is characterized by high humidity, especially evident during winter when water temperatures often surpass those of the air. This climatic phenomenon leads to the formation of thick fog along the surface, which is a natural occurrence and not indicative of air pollution. It's crucial to recognize that this weather pattern is unique to this specific geographical area. Venturing further inland from the Yangtze or Yellow River regions, one would notice a significant decrease in humidity, resulting in the dissipation of fog. Therefore, it's essential to differentiate between natural weather conditions and actual air pollution. The presence of fog in these areas can be attributed to factors such as proximity to oceans, deltas, lakes, and rivers, which contribute to the overall moisture content in the atmosphere. Understanding these regional weather patterns is key to dispelling misconceptions about air quality in China.
