Where am I going? Heading to a new Province! EP17, S2 

The thing I like most about these videos is the interactions with the local people. It is like being transported thousands of miles away for a fraction of time just to see their faces and hear their voices.

I'm in love with this channel and also kind of developing a parasocial relationship to Yan. Her heart is pure and humanisizing China the way she is doing is so important to overcome the mostly threatening image we get in the so-called West. Thank you. P.S.: Of course I'm biased in a certain way. China is a country I wanted to visit since I'm a child. Don't ask me why. I still didn't manage to do it. But I will.

Thanks! Don't forget to stop somewhere for a tea break:)

The people are so friendly…they’re so willing to talk and tell her anything…no hostility at all,,this is so nice …everyone seems happy with their life you can see it on their faces

Thanks for showing us China. My grandpa is from a town in Fujuian. Would definitely want to visit one day before I'm too old and find out my ancestry.

Your country's just so beautiful I wish with all my heart all country's would stop hurting others and learn to love all ppl so we could all visit each other's and be the one ppl were meant to be were all brothers and sisters we all bleed red and we all cry and like ve ty so much for showing your lovely ppl

❤👍👍👍👍👍👏🔥😍🙏❤️Yan, count me as your fan! Love your travelogue. Hope to learn more about practical info gathered from you.

That $12 hotel deserves a price hike with that kind of view! I generally don't like price hikes, but that room deserves one!

I am planning my trip to China through your videos! Your mandarin is also very clear to understand! Thank you for sharing your lovely country with us

Thanks! you deserve a cup of coffee. love from canada.

Keep up the interesting and natural feeling videos. Be sure to notify me whenever you're headed to Belgium 😊 Edit: really appreciate the extra work for subtitles in both languages

When I was young in 1992, a Chinese man in China told me that all creatures who have the back towards the sun are considered edible. I couldn't understand what I was eating because everything was made into balls and mixed with noodle soup. I'm Italian and in those days I could only speak a few basic words in English with a strong Italian accent. My friend's English was even worse than mine as we both studied French. We stayed in a work in progress Beijing then flew to Chengdu. We visited Emei Shan which resulted to be the best experience for us as we were both mountaineers. Great friendly people, good food but we were surprised when we had to buy something people would make a cross with their fingers (十) which in our culture is done to keep demons away 😁💖😄. Luckily, in Chengdu we met an incredibly friendly young man, Mr Lee, who took care of all of our needs and spoke great English. He just waited for tourists outside a hostel for foreign people as we were not allowed to stay in hotels where Chinese people were staying. We also had to buy everything with a special FEC currency that was for tourists only but we managed to change some money in the black market . We gave Mr Lee the equivalent of USD 500 in cash to buy our tickets to Nepal. He didn't give us any receipt and we were very worried he would disappear with the money. He came back the following day with the plane tickets and everything arranged for us. There were tables outside our hostel and we used to meet Mr Lee there, that was his office. Private businesses were not known of at that time but Mr Lee definitely deserved to have his own tourist agency. I wish him all the best! 🤗💖😁

Yan, my sister 😁, in Italy we use pine nuts to make pesto. Pesto is a sauce used for pasta, you grind the clean pine nuts, mix them with olive oil, parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves. The best is made in Genova which is a port city where the sea is crystal clear. If you go there, eat pasta al peso alla genovese.

Yan, the way you manipulate your drone is awesome. You have great skills. And you’re showing us a part of Yunnan that the normal tourist doesn’t see. And that $11 hotel room! What a super find. Is there a way we can support your travels? I noticed the FundMe button somewhere on this site, but am not sure if that’s the best way to support you. Keep going, we all are your avid fans.

Yunnan is my favorite province in China. The ethnic mixture is a wonderful experience.

Thanks!

Gorgeous! Place you visited. You are doing an amazing job showing new places, I will one day make it to mainland China to see these less traveled places. Thank you for posting these videos.

Thank you very much. It is like I am traveling with you. The language sounds so pretty. Everyone around the world seems the same on basic levels, they are trying to live, enjoy their lives, love their families, eat, make some money, laugh, have beautiful things around them, if possible, It makes me feel connected. And there are also so many differences that are just amazing to see.

Keep making content Little Sister!

My heart positively aches at the beautiful scenery 🥹

Thank you for showcasing your beautiful Country in such wonderful way. Happy greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪.

Hello Yan, we are enjoying our armchair tour around "unseen China" with you as our guide. These temple complexes seem to pop up on every island and mountain top around China. The lake is amazingly clear and clean, which is amazing to us as there are tourists all over the place

Thank you little granddaughter 🦋It is so beautiful to finally get to fulfill one of my wishes for over 60 years….. touring China. And all can be done from the safety and comfort of my home. You are building wonderful skills of photography, good communication with the local folks and with your viewers. Your unassuming polite approach really helps give a glimpse of the areas that is both realistic and complimentary. The human family has so much in common. Thank you for sharing these lovely various slices of life of your country with us. Also, I am amazed how high your drone footage can go with being blown away by the wind…. Awesome.Marjorie from Georgia US

These landscapes are so beautiful, i can't believe how clean that lake was! I will eventually watch every video in the series!

Thanks for introducing a new place. My son and I were in Kunming a few years ago. If we get back to that area must have a look 抚仙湖！你拍的视频越来越好！

I heard Yunnan is a very beautiful province. I hope to visit someday soon. I love how you show the rest of the world how China is not such a scary country. Everyone in your videos is nice, kind, and friendly.

I absolutely adore your personality and every interaction is so authentic its all so inspiring thank you for showing the world how beautiful your country and people are ✨💜💕 great job ☺️ much love from America 🌾🏞️🌲

In the beginning, I wasn't sure the direction you with take with this channel. So far you have exceeded my expectations. keep up with the good works.

So far this island is my favourite! I could definitely live there for a while. The scenery from the drone is breathtaking!

Wow amazing...

Just found your channel and absolutley love it! thnk you for showing how beautiful your country can be.

Always happy to see there is a new episode when I turn on my computer. I will now sit down with a freshly ground coffee and enjoy the next 21 minutes. Love Yunnan 😀.

Such an inspiring story.this is where my ancestors came from.thank you so much girl for showing us this yunnan trip .❤️

Hello Sweet Lady 😋, that bed made you look tiny. Another great video again, thanks for showing me the real China ❤❤

I am from Nagaland, India following your videos on China particular of Yunnan province. It's very beautiful country and the cultures of the people particularly the minority ethnic communities are really fascinating and the cultures are to an extent strikingly similar with us.

What a time to be alive. To share so many cultures instantly and simultaneously. Thanks for your channel, It's so intriguing seeing the internal cultures of China.

Yunan is a very touristic place. Now it's off season in china and china is not open to tourist yet but once opened up, yunan is a very popular place and prices will certainly go up.

Yan, Welcome to Yuxi, China 中国玉溪, the hometown of famous Yunnan tobacco云烟. Well, I have been to Fuxian Lake 抚仙湖15 years ago. There were lots of Nong Jia le 农家乐around the lakes. Here you may try the best potatoes rice 洋芋饭👍👍cooked in copper pot 铜锅 and the lake fishes dishes were good and the vegetables were fresh too 👍👍. Yuxi is also the starting point of China Laos Railways 中佬铁路 and you can access easily to Puer 普洱, Xishuang Banna 西双版纳 and Vientiane 万象, the missing link for ling time. Happy travelling and stay safe at all times. 🌹🌹🌹.

Hi From Malaysia, i've been to Kunming, Dali and LIjiang many years ago, very beautiful places with loads of UNESCO Heritage sites. But it gets seriously crowded with local tourists. But it was really very memorable and beautiful. Keep up the good work. Hope your channel blow up huge soon!!

Appreciate your project...since China is really big, probably eventually you will need to organize your videos into playlist by province for easier viewing.

This is my new favourite RU-vid channel!

Hi, l am from Nepal, a neighboring country of China. By watching your videos, honestly l can say that you not really entertained me, but introduced the most beautiful parts of China. Really loved from my heart. Best wishes from my country Nepal where the tallest Mount Everest is situated. May god bless you..

I went to this lake!!! Your video brings back beautiful memories. It was just like that, very breezy and cool when I went. It was invited by a local couple on a day trip to drive around most of it. Beautiful scenery all around! This is one of the most memorable places I visited during my temporary stay in Kunming working as a math teacher.

REALLY AMAZING CHINA - There is so much to explore WOW

I love binge watching your videos! Keep safe always!

You earned a new Subscriber. I love your videos. Love you too. Down to earth. Beautiful, Natural and Simple. Thank God you speak English. Or I’d be lost! 😂 👍🏼

Beautiful lake. I was surprised Kunming is 1,890 metres (6,200 feet) above sea level.

Thank you for sharing your great adventure with us sis! I love watching traveling vlogs!

Whenever I watch your video ,feel like traveling in dreams ,though not in person, thank you for your adventurous videos ❤

This is definitely the lost paradise I want to visit someday. Chinese beautiful landscape are so underated and unknown to the outside world.

Oh those places that you take us to are really clean and beautiful.Hope to see more of beautiful china 🙏

Here in Australia we get a lot of Chinese tourist from China who come because they love our beaches. I just wondered why when you have beautiful beaches in China. Blow my mind to see how white your sands are and how beautiful your water is. I also like to mention how cheap your hotel rooms are every where. And how cheap your meals are. Thank you Yan. Love from Australia.

JUST HEAVEN CHINA is just heaven !❤💛💛💛❤

Your choice of music and your photography are wonderful. I really enjoy how and what you "see" in the world and the way you share what you hear and "see". Thank you for sharing with us!

Thanks for the Video...interesting and informative.Though I have been in China for quite a number of times,it has often been to the major cities,so it nice to see another aspect of China through your eyes...

I always watching your video's because I really love china places, even in a Filipino. Hoping someday you come to my place and vlogs some of my beautiful province ❤❤

Ah... Yunnan! My favorite province in China. 💘💝💖

Love it, love it, love it! You are a great tour guide!!

You kind a person who have positive behaviour in default 😊 and thats amazing.

I've been waiting for you to travel to Yunnan region, next. I'm excited that this adventure has started...yay! TQVM Yan.....🥰🤗

Many thanks beautiful city ! From Singapore.

Yes it is true, travelling in China is quite affordable. Was planning to travel to Dali and Kunming . Wanted so much to go up to the Himalaya, even preparing with lots of exercise for 1/2 year for the Himalaya trip but too bad, change of plan when Covid hit the world. Now at the age of 66, one of my bucket list is to go up the Himalaya. Keep up the good work!!

Thank you for another Great video! The content, the editing and the music are Brilliant! I am learning so much from You🤗

Really digging everything you do! Just found you recently but have been hooked and have watched almost every video. Keep being you and keep loving life!

Your videos are amazing! You need more subscribers!! Get someone who knows how to get you channel more exposure! Based on what I’m seeing your channel should be in the 1.5 - 2 million subscriber range! Good luck!

Hello from Cape Town South Africa! So happy to have found your channel. It's full of lovely videos. So great to be able to watch vlogs from your country in English, thank you. Looking forward to watching all your videos.

I just found your channel so after this video I will go back to the start of season 2 and watch. In 2015 at the age of 71 I spent 6 weeks travelling around China staying in ordinary cheap Chinese hotels and travelling with Chinese guide and meeting and mixing with only Chinese people. I don't speak Chinese except for the little I learned from being there so a guide was essential for me. I loved it so much and am very jealous of your journeys. I can tell just from this video that travelling with you is going to be almost like being there again with you as my guide. I am looking forwards to my armchair travels. 😃

This is really a nice place. Away frm the hustle & bustle of the city. I don't mind staying here & enjoy the weather all year round. If you did not say that was a lake I'd think it was the sea! Everyone is so relaxed & easy going! Is it like this all over Yunnan? I believe so after watching most of your videos. Great job! Thanks.

Easily the best China travel vlog. I am hooked, thank you so much!

Very beautiful! Enjoyed it.Thnks a lot.

I love these shows. The background music you select with the drone pictures is absolutely beautiful and adds so much to the 'feeling' and 'experience' of wanting to be there!!

The island is beautiful! The food looks delicious! So amazing. Im happy to watch your videos and so glad for you sharing these amazing places!

I am enjoying seeing China lovely country side thank you people are lovely and hard working...

What a gorgeous video you made. Enlightening and, in many respects, useful to would-be visitors from outside the country. The subtitles are excellent, and I applaud the effort that went into them. I can't wait for you to release more of these riveting vids.👍

Thank you - I really like travel videos like yours - showing normal, everyday things, very interesting and educational

It's really nice to see my hometown since I haven't been back for over four years. Thanks for this post.

I'm so glad to find this RU-vid channel. Also, because I learned English, I can travel with her and see hers adventures in China. China is gorgeous, in fact! Thank you for showing these beautiful people and amazing places!❤

You are showing the original China at its best. Thanks

Wow. The scenery is amazing

That _is_ an incredible view! And I really enjoy the music. Thank you so much!

Thanks for sharing, your travels & adventures! You have a wonderful way of telling your story 👍

Thanks for your videos Yan, they're inspiring. After watching "unseen China" playlist now I really want to visit it.

Beautiful informative video.

I am so excited to see this and the beautiful lake. I live in northern Laos so not far from Yunnan. It is easy to get there. Now I want to visit!

Thank you Yan, once again you made a wonderful Vlog. It's always interesting to see the different kinds of food China offers in the various regions. I have never eaten insects - especially not these big ones. Maybe, one day, I'll have a try ... 🥴

Thank you❤🌹🙏 this episode is amazing❤😊

Hello from Switzerland 瑞士! 我真的喜欢你的视频! Thank you so much for sharing all these beautiful parts of China!

your drone shots are amazing, you always pick the right time to do them I feel like I'm being lead by hand.

These videos have so much good content and a delight to relax and enjoy.

Heading to the province of RU-vid success it seemed!

Your channel is a breath of fresh air, your the best at showing us different parts of china

Another amazing video. I'm guessing that big beautiful clear lake is an ancient glacial lake.

i have always wanted to visit China, so i can do it through your videos... Thank you so much !
