- We visited one of the most interesting villages in China, Bama. Bama is known as a longevity village as it is home to some of the world’s oldest residents. Many people here live for over 100 years. The area is a popular tourist spot for some of the older generation, spiking a new era of health tourism. People believe visiting here will help prolong their life and help with ailments. So, I came to the village to see what is the secret to a long life in China?

Thanks for showing us this beautiful place and healthy lifestyle in China!! Blessing of longevity to everyone who is watching!!
Thanks for watching! I hope so too!
Very nice channel!
This is one of the most amazing things in China. I met really old people and they very nice. I’m a stranger and I dont speak Chinese. But they don’t mind if I come close and play with the babies they carry. Old people in some parks carry babies.
People in China are so welcoming to strangers!
“Age defying bad asses!” The line of the year. Amazing to meet some Centurions. Health Tourism is a new concept for me. Thanks for introducing us to it.
Hahaha pleased you liked it! Yeah us too it was an interesting topic for sure!
Sounds order people intend to be more experienced, delicate and sensible.
Yo, John! Hope you're doing good.
@@user-tj6ot7tw8g totally agree!
@@GeorgeLouVideo hey George. Doing good! How are you?
What an amazing video!! The grandam scene was great, she looked so happy!! Thanks for sharing Nico
Thanks guys!! She was literally the sweetest, bless her. Was a really interesting place.
A goldie meets an oldie! :D
I’m always tinged with a little sadness that these old people in China have lived through more bad times than good times in Chinese history.
Aww thanks haha she was so cute bless her I couldn’t believe she was that old. Yes you are right.
Thanks for showing us.
Thanks 2 of you indeed
Thanks for watching, pleased you liked it!
It's always a great "pick me up" and uplifting to watch your video! I wish you and Jack have millions of subscribers! Maybe some Chinese national or International TV stations would not hesitate to give you a TV discovery series!!
Thank you so much I’m pleased you liked it!! Haha wouldn’t that be the dream!
Hopefully they will one day!
Have you try New China, CCTV+, and CGTN? I saw your fellow countrymen Jason Lightfoot, American Matt Galat all got a few gigs and Jason even got his pregnant wife a electronic massage chair on his first paycheck!
The air n mineral water must be clean, fresh n life is laid back. Also food is organic! No stress!
Such wonderful, friendly old ppl, 103, she is so cute, always smiling, wish her many more happy n healthy life!
You are one of the best travel vloggers in China on CZcams. I've recommended you on Zhihu because I think you definately deserve more attention.
Thank you very much that is so kind of you! What is Zhihu? I’ve not heard of it before.
@@Nicofilms It's a Q&A website, just like Quora.
@@constantineding8700 oh cool thanks so much!
China has a continenal diversification. Thanks Nico, for sucha beautiful video.
Thanks for watching!
Wow
Green evrywher
Wat a beuty
Poor David, he was getting his ear pulled to help them finish that strong tasting wine, and there was no getting out of it for him lol 😆😄
Hahaha I know thankfully they didn’t do the same to me!
great topic!! secrets actually are no stress no desire, live the life in the nature, stay far away from all the fights..keep the inner peace....
Sounds like the perfect recipe!
Thank you Nico sis for this amazing video. Good to see you after long time.
Good to see China quickly recover from coronavirus. Hey sis pls make a video about Shanghai pls ❤️🙏.
....
❤️🇨🇳🇮🇳..
Thanks for watching. I’m not sure if we ever will as that’s our fun place haha
"With the way the world is going, I am not sure I quite want to live that long!"; said Nico the English modern sage. What a genuine testimony of today's western society! While Chinese people regard longevity as a state of happiness and joyful life. Funny thing is I totally agree with this young and beautiful Nico. I wonder if this has to do with the fact that I have spent most of life in the western world?
Hi Nico thanks for you video(s). I did a lot of travelling around the World the last 20 odd years. Soon as the pandemic is finished we will be travel again. We have never been to this place. My wife and I are 80 and 84. Those are only numbers as long as you are healthy and fit. Stress is the main cause of health. Be happy.! Hope to see more of your videos!
Thanks a lot! I hope you get the chance to travel again soon!
The secret is, don't eat too much calories, walk/exercise, stay as stress free as possible, eat as healthy as possible.
Sounds like a good plan!
great work!Let me learn a lot again.
Thanks a lot!
I don't feel I am old enough now....
Hopefully you will live a long and healthy life!
@@Nicofilms can we sign an agreement that we both live up to 100 years old at least? 🤔
Haha I drank the water so hopefully that will help 😂😜
This may be my favourite film of yours. We've wanted to go here for ages! The centurion you met was so cute, the cinematography and music are beautiful and it's a really special place into the world to share. Thanks guys :)
Thanks a lot that is so kind! It’s a really interesting topic and was great to learn more about it. She was just so cute she reminded me of my gran so it was lovely to meet her.
Thanks for the kind words!
I remember seeing a piece about this on the news over a decade ago. The special character of the water had something to do with it.
Yes I hadn’t heard of it before so it was great to learn more about it!
@@Nicofilms You drank the water. Now you will live to be a centenarian!
I’m not sure if that’s a good thing haha
*Greetings gentlemen*
Welcome to China, the land of plenty
If you like this video, please don't feel shy and raise your hand ✋
👍
Imagine drinking the refreshing, invigorating bottled water of the Thames 😂
Haha I certainly wouldn’t advise that to anyone.
I think you would end up in hospital haha
Thanks for showing the world the real China!
Why is there a fake one too?
@Alice WONG Irony escapes you, I know China has improved considerably.
Looks like the secret really is being healthy and just eating more natural food and exercising, breath cleaner air 🥺
Not as easy as it sounds.
@@Nicofilms exactly 😂😭
BA Ma county , guangxi province. Called long life county in China, a lot of them more 100 years old
Beautiful countryside, great video!
Thanks a lot!
Many thx for your heart-warming video, and showed us such a beautiful place in Guanxi (Love)
Thanks for watching I’m pleased you like it!
Amazing😍😍😍
With less air pollution, no unhealthy lifestyle like hanging out at bars or pub till late night....no unhealthy snacks....we might can live as long as they're ...
This was so well done. I love your videos.
Thank you very much I’m pleased you enjoyed it!
Never thought you at last visited Bama, actually I thought Guilin is the destination. There are also many remote places with similar beautiful environment in China. Which I think may not be the reason why Bama is the outstanding hometown of longevity. But I agree that some other reason has screened the local people's genes by natural selection. However if this is true, it's not a good news for the local health tourism bussiness. Therefore, the true cause may never be discovered.
Yes it was an interesting trip and we learned a lot. We have already been to Guilin so we thought it would be good to go somewhere new.
Really interesting vid!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you Nico for this wonderful vlog. So interesting.
Thanks for watching! I’m pleased you enjoyed it!
those are healthy dishes. Yummy.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
To my experience, I went to a place called Fengshan (maybe) for a Taohuayuan (桃花源)-like cave where you are able to enjoy the poemtic vibe there
i think a good gene is more important. my father-in-law lived till 91( and was still walking and doing things till he was 89) and he was a smoker and an alcoholic. if he did not drink, he might still be alive today. you need a good cup of coffee after such a long journey. love from Canada.
Each time china surprised me nico 😃
Everywhere I go surprises me in China, it’s great!
Nico, always two hands to give and two hands to receive
Quality video, keep it up please! (Make those mainstream media outta work ✊🤣)
Thanks a lot I’m pleased you liked it!
i think having a good gene is more important. my father-in-law, who was a smoker and an alcoholic, lived till 91 and he was in good health till 89. have a good cup of coffee after such a long journey. love from canada.
i think its because they also dont poison their minds with thoughts of cancer and disease. China has so many cigarette brands and they come in very cool packaging.
Thanks a lot! Yes I think so too I think the isolation definitely helps as well. Being in nature certainly helps keep you active.
G information
The Chinese secret to longevity is qigong
Nico, you seem to be really enjoying yourself in China. Wish I could do the same and live to 200. lol
Thanks! Yes I love loving here haha I’m not sure I’d want to live that long.
No MSG, no Coca Cola, no KFC and no Mcdonald = good health.
Haha most definitely!
This is a good way to earn money! Only have to do is stay at home and shake hands! I will do this when I am 103-years-old!
Hahaha exactly!
hahah. red envelope!! everyone loves.
Oh yes!
Hong Kong movie moghul Run Run Shaw lived till the age of 107 years old. He practiced qigong several hours per day.
Great information! Wow that is amazing just goes to show the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
@@Nicofilms it feels amazing, great away to prevent major diseases like cancer and alzheimer's, I do qigong like two hours a day haha, like a hermit
@@relaxwhc I wish I had the time, sounds like a great way to stay healthy.
@@Nicofilms you can try the easy and quick one, like the eight section brocade 八段锦
@@relaxwhc thanks! I’ll take a look!
Nico, check out Mr Li Ching-Yuen who was the oldest man ever lived. Born in 1677 and passed away in 1933. A total of 256 years.
Whaaaat that is crazy!
"hen kao sin ren shi nee"
Hey,

Wah, nee de Putonghua vry gd
Go2x Nico

‘It’s just water!’ Ha!!!
I would also be drinking that water, I’m just that gullible 😂
Literally couldn’t taste any difference 🤣
5:38 Her hair ban is sooooooooooooo weird looking 😂
And once again the British weather has followed you 😂
Always!!!

BAMA seems rather isolated and populated by a minority but very peaceful ethnic group
because there no steak grill mc donald and kfc that's why people living more long age less oily food
Totally agree!
...maybe they didnt come in contact w i th cccp🤣
When was this filmed? My guess is before COVID19 became a pandemic.
No, we went there in mid April.
@@Nicofilms keep in mind that even if you have had COVID 19 and/or have been vaccinated, you can still catch the virus and shed 🦠(through breathing), giving it to others. 😷 The viral load will not be as bad but can be enough to kill. Even masking up isn’t 100%. It is within the first 10 days of exposure when shedding is at its most, and the host is asymptomatic.
Nico I love how you reply to that question. Concise as should be. Oh I love Guilin so much. But I’d rather see some other towns I have never heard of. The video is so great and thank goodness, we dont get to see you with a mask on while walking in a rice field or some area where you can just vlog like its 2018.
@@SeanRhoadesChristopher but there is no covid in china now...
@@dionydonny there may not be. But it is not going away here, and it will make its way back.
It’s a very poor place so many of those people probably are involuntary vegetarians😀, which ironically give them longer lives.
