How Go to Xinjiang?
Hi, thks for yr vids on XinJiang. Planning a trip to go n chance upon yr vids. Did u sign up a tour pkg n with whom or did u do a free n easy, self driven? I noticed u brought a drone with u, r they strict or easy on allowing u to fly? Did u travel in 2021 but only posted these vids recently? So sorry for d many questions just that we don't know how best to visit d place n when wld b d best time to do so. Thk u very much for sharing yr xperience... 🙏🙏
Hi, no problem on all the questions! It's a hard trip to plan. Thanks for watching the video. Yes, we did a tour. You have to have a tour guide to travel in Xinjiang, otherwise you can not travel freely around there. We could fly the drone in most areas, providing it was safe on the app. I don't think we were allowed to fly it in Kashgar though. Yes, we did the trip in 2021 but I've only just had the chance to go through all the footage. We did the trip in the summer but it was very hot. Not sure when would be a better time, maybe in the spring. I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any more questions. Happy to help!

华山欢迎你
July & August 2021?! I'm surprised you guys didn't encounter much issue with the crazy pandemic prevention here in China. Nice video!
We did have lots of measures and security checks etc. However, for the biggest part of it during that time, china was fairly easy to travel around so long as you did not leave the country. If you check out this video, we explain it a bit more! czcams.com/video/qDOvMz25Fwo/video.html
cool!
can you shake your cameras a little bit more? maybe some dji ronin?
Haha, we have a DJI Osmo now!
weather was cool though. not too sunny on a summer day
just came across your channel guys. I'm glad you're home. wish it ends soon and we all can go back to our normal life soon
Thank you for watching!
Do you have an update? I'm here in California USA & there are videos circulating of genocide occurring in Shanghai.
It's certainly not genocide. But they are letting people start to go hungry and not allowing people medical care who need it. It's not looking very good.

Hope you all stay save.
Thank you! You too.

take a plane and leave Shanghai is the only option to get out of quarantine!
We aren’t allowed out of our apartments let alone out of the city 😂
Yeah - lockdown is incredibly strict at the moment! The walk to get a covid test, at the end of the lane, is as far as we’ve been able to travel! Unless you’re shipped off to a hospital or hotel of course 😂🤦♀️

It's fantastic to watch the Shanghai Globalist squirm under these lockdowns: czcams.com/video/q4a1SjmrBGc/video.html
That’s absolutely ridiculous that they are taking people away from their homes to quarantine. Do you know what variant you have?
Yes it's a bit much isn't it. We don't have it. We are just 'close contacts'.
Sorry to hear that you have to quarantine separately for 14 days! Hope it goes quick! (Paul & Catrin, Mold)
Yeah, bit annoying. We're glad we ended up in a nice hotel though, thankfully! Thanks for watching 😃
Good call with the 2 boxes of weetabix!

Hey! I’m also living in Shanghai and love seeing your perspective of the current lockdown ❤️ Stay safe!
Ah yes, it's quite crazy at the moment isn't it! We've now been taken into a quarantine hotel. More videos to follow. You too, stay safe!
I hope you can stay at home xx
We did too!
Hope its not too long before lockdown ends for you all. How long does it take to be tested?
Hope also
All good so far. The testing is very efficient and we haven’t spent longer than 10 mins waiting! Today it seems a lot stricter. We were given a slip to go out and had to hand it in at the testing site and then again when we arrived back at our compound.
shengzhou, the town in Zhejiang Province?
Yes that's the one. We took a bus trip from shanghai.
The suitable destination in this season are Yunnan and Hainan province.
Thank you! Very good to know.
