It was beautiful how Yan lit up when she saw Flo. Happy for you being reunited with Flo. I want to thank him for helping to make Little Chinese Everywhere such a great video channel.
Yes! Thank you, Yan and Flo, for showing a bit BTS and sharing the personal moments like the reunion
That was so cute, she was so excited and happy ❤
😁😁😁The Owner of this channel, I know that when you are in China, the Communist Party gave you better treatment than ordinary citizens. Chinese women would like to pay money to marry you in order to emigrate. what country are you from ? You quickly tear up your passport, become a Chinese citizen, and change it to a Chinese passport. Only in this way can you reflect your true love for mainland China.
Peacefulworld H 😁你丫咋敢说你丫的共产党主子是猪 ？ 美国到处都是你丫的共产党主子家属，人家移民的时候忘记带你丫了
@@beijingrenzaibeimeiapa yg merepik ni bro😮😢
Im not Chinese , but fellow Asian . What I appreciate most of you , Yan , even if you studied in Western Country, even if Flo , your boyfriend hails from western culture , STILL THE MODESTY OF ASIAN WOMAN IS UNDENIABLY PROFOUND . 😍😍😍
There's really more to China than meets the eye. I'm glad someone like you is showing them to the world. ❤
I agree
I was in Dunhuang in 2018, I also was the only westerner - German too. Also I like to mention the Crescent moon oasis in Dunhuang is one of only two in the world where the water stays at all times! Looking forward to your next few Dunhuang upcoming episodes from Mogao caves another hidden treasure up there in the middle of nowhere and try the wines which even is produced up there since the 12 th century, Love your movie on Dunhuang as always
i wonder if you can survive without Putonghua, only using english ? would really love to visit here as well
😂😂😂我2018年回国内和同学们自驾游也去了月牙泉敦煌！
@@IamkzarNo problem, young people can speak some basic English. Bring your Google Translate and you can travel around China
@@Iamkzar I went in 1987 having learned a few sentences and got by. Today phones have translation apps, and also people do know some English. It was lovely, I had the sand dunes almost to myself back then.
2007年，我們這群海外華人來新疆，敦煌一遊；那時在民豐 附近的維吾爾學生聽不懂 我們的普通話；現在學校用普通話了，真棒！👍👍👍； 那時遊客少多了，鳴沙山，月牙泉，莫高窟，玉門關（陽關？）， 酒泉 . . 都是终生難忘的景點🙏👍💖😊
I am so thrilled see Flo arrived 😁! You two should never be separated again! Love, love, love, exploring the world together! Is there anything sweeter and more meaningful in the journey of life together ? Please share more of your sweet moments in your coming venture in the western China! Please!
Well made video! Diversity in China is amazing, people and culture, nature, even technology! The solar panel part was extremely interesting for me (I am an engineer!)
This route is in my wish list as a part of my silk road project.
Little Chinese! I enjoyed it to the end. Keep it up!

@@zhnzn 根本没法念出来，直接唱出来了。hahahaha, i can't read this at all, sing them out directly.
In 2019, my wife n I had the good fortune to enjoy this camel ride. Feels like you are part of an ancient trade caravan in the Silk Road. Exhilarating. Highly recommended. Best wishes from Malaysia
My partner and I noticed Flo in your older videos and wondered if he would ever come to China to visit and be in other videos. Then we saw you both in the thumbnail for this video and go super excited! He is such a gentleman and it warms our hearts to see how supportive he is if you and your channel. We really enjoyed this video ❤️
Whoa, I didn’t know that there’s such a thing as Camel Traffic lights! I also didn’t know they exist in Gobi Desert!
during the National holidays in 2020, I traveled to Dunhuang alone and climbed three or four sand dunes into the depths (almost no man’s land haha), and then spent my 27 birthday on the mostly deserted hill, still remember I only took some apricots and beef jerky as food(or cake lol) there. Like Flo, i reallly enjoyed the desert, and I even ran down from the top of another very steep and high mountain, it was quite fun and a real kick, so I know how Flo felt lol.
Great seeing Flo back with you, together you make such impressive videos. I look forward to each new destination. Yan, you are amazing. Hello from Southern California. 👏🤗
This is such an amazing site, I’m surprised to see so many people going to the desert to have their photos taken with the camels and sand dunes. Yes the sand dunes are beautiful, from the sky view it looks like piped smooth wavy cream & the white tents looks like white Chocolate drops on a very big cake! What a treat 😁
Nice of you for giving us a piece of Chinese history
Mow sedung destroyed Chinese history! Xi Xiping is doing it again °
I misread this as a piece of Chicken history 😂
how many camels does wife cost?
@@iamayamiamitik5880哈哈哈哈
Wow, I just finished watching the TV series "Parallel World" (also known as "West Out of the Yumen") starring Bai Yu last month. I was absolutely mesmerized by the breathtaking landscapes featured in the show. The male lead plays an exceptional desert guide, delving into the geography, history, and nature of the Dunhuang desert. That really got me hooked on the place.
Then I stumbled upon this video that covers a ton about Dunhuang and its touristy side, stuff I didn't even see in the TV series. It explores so many aspects of Dunhuang, especially its tourist attractions, which weren't shown in the series. The TV series only depicted the remote desert areas, like a no man's land. So I was really surprised to see so many tourists gathered on the sand dunes, having fun and enjoying themselves.
I like how the Chinese girls dressed up in local costumes when travelling as internal tourists.
Hope the boys get into the spirit too!
What you see in 15:50 is the concentrated solar power systems that generate solar power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight into a receiver. Then the electricity is generated when the concentrated light is converted to heat, which drives a heat engine connected to an electrical power generator.
Love how excited you were to see your partner in the beginning. That's how you know it's about to be a good series
Spanish. Saludos desde Latino America. 👍🌎
Camel traffic light..so funny..I will be traveling to Dunhuang in 3 weeks time. Can't wait and shall watch out for this traffic light.
You'd better book the Mogao Grottoes tickets in advance
As someone who cherishes solitude and often embarks on solo cycling adventures in remote, uninhabited places, I would never venture to crowded tourist destinations. However, I thoroughly enjoy watching your travel videos .
By the way, the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Lake featured in this video-I've visited them thousands of times, albeit in online games ^_^.
Honestly, today marks the first time I've laid eyes on these familiar places in the real world. It's fascinating to see what I once thought was so familiar within the realm of virtual gaming come to life.
Hi Yan, your partner just made me realise something. This whole time I struggled or was obsessed with making sure I speak with the perfectly correct tones (Mandarin), because I thought Chinese people wouldn't understand what I'm saying, but I just noticed from the get go in this video that Flo's tones were off but the guy who asked if he is a foreigner understood him well.
I'm now gonna continue learning and speaking unapologetically from now on. I'm from Namibia, lived in Wuhan for about 5 years.
Yes it's not soo important, we Chinese understand given the context :)
@@littlechineseeverywhere That's good to know. You have given me confidence.
In the western desert, there is an oasis in the desolation, and the magical Crescent Moon Spring. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to the Dunhuang Grottoes in the next issue!
Hi Flo, Welcome to China, again! Take good care of our little lady! 😂
Your country China is so beautiful ! I love to watch your videos ! How many different kinds of landscapes have in your country , thanks for showing the beauty of China
China is literally a big continent. The diversity is mind boggling.
@@XW3126so is Canada, Russia, Australia, USA, Brazil and India
Beautiful place.
Thank you, Yan and Flo.
Thank you :)
Very cool that Flo speaks Mandarin. Thanks to you both for the creation of this channel.
For once a place I've visited! Went to Qinghai as virtually all Chinese people I asked though it is the best part of China. The Hexi corridor was really amazing!
As always, another interesting and well filmed video. I read about the Han wall and so I can see why Flo wanted to see it for himself. Thanks so much for sharing your journeys here. ❤
HAHAHA, Traffic light for Camel.
😂
I've always been curious about western China but I never see much about it so it's so cool that you are exploring this region! It must be so exciting for Flo to visit you in your home country!
Great video. China has done the right thing by bringing its poor out of extreme poverty and by extension a huge population into the middle class, which could be more than 600million at the moment and still rapidly growing. This gigantic growing middle class in turn fuels demands for everything including internal tourism which drives local economic growth and jobs in the area.
A tremendous joy to meet your loved one, I am happy and grateful for you and I see that you are happy and at peace. Thanks for this trip, I was also able to feel and experience the desert thanks to you. You take care of yourself❤❤❤😊
😍Delightful surprises from China regions❗️Can't wait to watch your next eye-catching educational Dunhuang video and others. You're great together. 💐❤🇨🇳💞🌞👏👏
So happy to see Flo again. Also thanks for another episode of UNSEEN China. It's my every Saturday series now. Pls do not stop!! 🙂
The solar farm plant is remarkable. China is such an innovative country! Your work is beautiful. Thank you to you and Flo. You are are very clever and creative team.
so amazing . great music choice too! the han dynasty walls in dunhuang weren't renovated further because the borders of china had expanded in subsequent dynasties. im with flo on this, this is one of my must-do destinations in china! the amount of history is incredible! how the ancient peoples of china must have felt, at this wild western frontier. thanks for showing us this bit of china~!
Our little intelligent small chinese everwhere is an excellent stòryteller😊
She is intelligent and small in size but not so young as she is at least 30 years old after her master degree and working in the West.
Nihao! Great video! Love from Brazil! Loved the fiancee!
I never knew there were such cool places in China from the mainstream media!!! Thank you Yan x Flo.
So happy Flo is back, even if only temporarily. Yan, so happy for you to be reunited with your very special friend. Thank you Flo for all your work in making this channel happen!
Thanks! I enjoy all of your videos and narratives. Especially the background music.
Thank you so much :)
The food alone is worth the trip it seems. Very cool location s, good to see 🤝. Thank's y'all like #4✌️
It was so great to see you light up both on anticipation and finally reconnecting with Flo. :)
I can see your excitement & big smile as you saw Flo from across the arrival gate! 😁 enjoy your tour together Yan, I’m sure we’ll have extra coverage in this video 😁😁
Nice to see yr fiance too, thank you, always awesome videos, Maxine in Australia 💖💖💖🇦🇺🇦🇺💖💖
Sand storm! I’m sure no one would want to be caught in it and be drenched with fine sand (liken icing sugar) but I can see that Flo is braving the sand storm to capture this scene 👍 The structures resembles the Grand Canyon but much smaller. Nature has its hand on creating amazing structures, just like the sand dunes it often changes their direction of formation according to the direction of the wind. Thank you for sharing Yan 😊
You look even happier than you usually do, just radiant when your main squeeze arrives.
Granddaughter…… loved this . What a fascinating and diverse world we live in. So nice to get to know and see your friend Flo. 👩🏼🎨🦋👍
A+++ So nice to meet Flo. He should have given you a piggy back ride up and down the sand dune!!!! Excellent video!!
Nice to see that you teamed up with Flo again. Haven't seen him for almost a year. Seen how happy you were when you saw him at the airport. Enjoy yourselves and thank in advance for sharing the many amazing videos that you are going to film together.😍
What you are doing is sooo exciting. I always wanted to create a channel to show the world about CN natural sceneries and traditional histories. No guts to quite my job and just travel. Keep up, I will keep following you. ❤❤❤
I have to say this place will be in my heart for ever . desert sands camel far from any noise . this is real life
Great to see you both together again. I always feel that an experience shared is twice as enjoyable. Looking forward to all your up-and-coming programs.😀
Very unique the camel traffic lights
Greetings Miss Yan & Mr Flo. That's a totally different outstanding thrilling adventure. Thanks so much indeed 🎉. It made my day after 11 hours straight after work. Cheers. Be safe.
greeting u from Somaliland, east Africa. come to horn of Africa one day. welcome to Hargeisa city. btw I studied in China, Ningbo (2012). my 2nd home. the best!
I enjoyed your videos. You showed me a China that is quirky, beautiful, and full of life. But I am a little disappointed when you left out the Magao Cave. Would have love to have your reactions of the cave paintings.
OMG, he really is your fiancé. Bless you bunch of couples.
You are my role model for making content ❤
All that lovely food won't keep Flo's tummy flat for long.😂 Beef or cow stomach actually has a name in the UK, we call it Tripe.
Nǐ hǎo...🕺❤ From 🇲🇨
Imagine that 1000 years ago, the Arabs traded with China through camel caravans...The whole Silk Road is full of camels, and the scene must be very lively..
lol that opening sure was a surprise, wasn't expecting traffic lights for camels 😂
Your video has documentary quality. Your videos have documentary quality. Watching your videos is a part of my life now
I adore your videos. They are personal and hearfelt, honest and just really nice. Sweet times, and just really good. It is refreshing to see this. Your Fiancee strikes me as a Good Fellow, one I would be friends with if I were to meet him. I like what you are doing. Please continue. I stumbled on your CZcams and so happy I did!!! So cheerful and kind. Thank you!!
Hi Yan, I'm from Indonesia. I suggest you to add Indonesian subtitles because Indonesia is big target in CZcams as your channel is so interesting 😊😊
coba CC diaktifkan👍
udah ada pilihan subtitle Indonesia.. :)
Another piece of you reunited , happy traveling guys.🎉😊
Glad Flo with you now to make the Vlog, Camel traffic look fantastic and the lamb kebab look delicious, never saw that kind of solar power plant before, always enjoy going places with you Yan, thanks.

This is amazing, keep going, keep educating us...
Beautiful ❤ Thank you so, so much.
귀한 영상 잘 보고 갑니다.. .The best video..건강하세요..
Hi Yan and Flo, wondeful to see your video about Dunhuang. We also have the naan bread you were eating in Jeddah, Western Saudi Arabia. It's called Tameez here. Still made by the turkic people from Central Asia who migrated to this region since 200 years ago and recently. Some of whose ancestors came from Xinjiang and some from Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan and the other parts of Central Asia.
Please keep up your gentle, informative, presentations of China. It lovely to see.
That was great video and nice to see Flo .
That was amazing, and so lovely to meet Flo. Thank you for sharing this felt very special. xoxoxo
Love this beautiful desert part of China..thanks for sharing.. salute you both👍👏🙏
Have a great time Yan and Flo. Looking forward to your next video!
What a great video, so interesting to see these landscapes. I'm glad you brought Flo along because he adds a nice flavor.
太棒了！特別開心！幸福洋溢之旅❤！期待你們的更新！
Very good vblog…amazing Gobi Desert. Can’t wait to see the Dunhuang caves!
I love your videos!
Your videos are GREAT !! Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
Soooo sweet that you two are reunited 🥹🥹🥹 you both deserve abd amazing time after such a long wait 🤗🤗🤗
I feel with every video I learn something new.
Great to see Flo with you❤. Hope you two are working towards being together for the long term soon. All the best!
Waw.......Incredible virtual tour !!!!!!!! You are showing us that we barely heard haven't !! THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS! Stay safe and healthy!
How brave of Flo and be careful, thanks for bringing us awesome views
Oh look at your joy..good to watch.
The Desert in evening was like a dream impressive beautiful thanks for the video guys 🙏🏼
An American writing from Chongqing my wife’s hometown.
We were in Dunhuang on September 18, 2023 the commemorative day the Japanese invaded China.
If you were there during the evening the dunes, right to the very top and across the ridge line left and right, with music, broke out in a number of traditional Chinese patriotic songs with one person waving a large Chinese flag illuminated at night.
It was an incredible experience like we have never experienced with hundreds of people up and down the dunes shining lights in commemoration respecting those who sacrificed and a show of patriotism.
It was an experience we will cherish and never forget.
Thank you both for another wonderful and informative video. I very much look forward to your episodes. They provide a wonderful escape and is greatly appreciated!! Through your videos, I have learned so much and you make it so interesting with very clear explanations.
I have dreamed of visiting this area to see the remains of the Great Wall turning to dust in the desert. I believe there are famous poems about being posted in such a lonely place during the Tang Dynasty. Amazing video, thank you.
Definitely I enjoy the video, as the landscape well different from that of southern coast where I came from. First handed sight of domestic touritism, a way to jump start the economy. Of course, Chinese tourists are much welcome in my host country Singapore.
So impressive... Beyond my wildest imaginations. Thanks.
Woooow I really love this episode very much! Especially I am so fascinated by the silk road, Dunhuang, the art on flying fairies and Buddhism. Keep up the good work!
That was a great video, guys! Something special about the beauty of this place. Yan, the way you show your friend in your video speaks high about you.
