- After staying in Fujian for some weeks, now I am ready for a new province!
This is one of my favorite provinces in China, and back at the time I did a PHD project there. I have started this province with a great hotel room with 11 dollars, and amazing lake trip!

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.
Indeed indeed it's priceless!!
I don't feel like an outsider. A privileged observer. A Homeboy
I agree. It's just like we're a part of it. Fascinating!
Knowing to speak a language really helps with the interaction.
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.
You don't have to justify or explain your desire to visit China. We all have longings to visit places we've never been to or to do things we've never done - it's part of being human.
Totally understandable. One thing is the Chinese Government and the other thing is the Chinese people. How the Western media portrait China as one singular thing is unfair. I would love to explore more of China, it is culturally very diverse and beautiful.
I'm Chinese but I've never been to China too. Been a long time desire of mine to go too. Yan comes across as being very friendly and the people she interacts with puts me very much at ease đâ€
I was lucky enough to marry a Chinese girl a few decades ago, and then have been lucky enough to travel to many places in China over the years. Yan does an excellent job of portraying China as I have experienced it. The only problem I have with her videos is that I get homesick for China when I watch them. You should definitely go if at all possible, it is a truly wonderful country with the most hospitable people in the world.
Thanks! Don't forget to stop somewhere for a tea break:)
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.
The people are so friendlyâŠtheyâre so willing to talk and tell her anythingâŠno hostility at all,,this is so nice âŠeveryone seems happy with their life you can see it on their faces
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
what ?
That $12 hotel deserves a price hike with that kind of view! I generally don't like price hikes, but that room deserves one!
â€đđđđđđđ„đđâ€ïžYan, count me as your fan! Love your travelogue. Hope to learn more about practical info gathered from you.
Thank you so much đ
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, the way you manipulate your drone is awesome. You have great skills. And youâre showing us a part of Yunnan that the normal tourist doesnât 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 thatâs the best way to support you. Keep going, we all are your avid fans.
Keep up the interesting and natural feeling videos. Be sure to notify me whenever you're headed to Belgium đ
Edit: really appreciate the extra work for subtitles in both languages
Thanks! you deserve a cup of coffee. love from canada.
Yan, my sister đ, 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.
Respect your food! But let me be frank, there is too much food in China. One Englishman once said that he ate all over China in three months, but he could not leave Sichuan Province in three years. đ
I like pasto.
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 (ć) which in our culture is done to keep demons away đđđ. 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!
đ€đđ
China in 1992 was a world away from what it is now.
@bobwang I would love to return and visit when I get healthier.
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.
Me, too! I hope to see you there! Haha Lord willing
Yunnan is my favorite province in China. The ethnic mixture is a wonderful experience.
Thank you for showcasing your beautiful Country in such wonderful way. Happy greetings from Ireland đźđȘ.
Yes. Ireland is beautiful too tho. Greetz from SE Asia, from a fellow Irish-english (mix) old timer.
My heart positively aches at the beautiful scenery đ„č
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.
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 đŠIt is so beautiful to finally get to fulfill one of my wishes for over 60 yearsâŠ.. 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 windâŠ. Awesome.Marjorie from Georgia US

Hello US Neighbor, I am in North Alabama and also am really enjoying these videos, her respect of others, drone and beautiful music in addition to the historical and design tidbits. My husband and I are retired and I donât know that I would travel to these places as there are so many places I am interested in, but seeing it through her eyes and the drone as well, gives me a renewed hope that others in the US will gain a respect for the people of these areas as it should be about the people not the politics.
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 æä»æčïŒäœ æçè§éąè¶æ„è¶ć„œïŒ
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.
Chinese have been around for 5000 years. Start trading with Africa in the 14th century and supported our liberation. They are only scary to the Western imperialists
welcome đ
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.
Thanks!
Thank you :)
Keep making content Little Sister!
Thank you soo much!!!
So far this island is my favourite! I could definitely live there for a while. The scenery from the drone is breathtaking!
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 âšđđ great job âșïž much love from America đŸđïžđČ
Just found your channel and absolutley love it! thnk you for showing how beautiful your country can be.
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!!
Not crowded with tourist due to COVID-19
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 đ.
Then you should try to buy some Yunnan coffee, which is famous now
@@user-du8bf2ym7q Hi, yes I have been trying to source a good quality reliable source of coffee from Yunnan and was at a local coffee tasting in Beihai Guangxi of 9 Yunnan coffees last week which was very positive. I hope to visit Yunnan within the next 4 weeks.
Yan, Welcome to Yuxi, China äžćœçæșȘ, the hometown of famous Yunnan tobaccoäșç. Well, I have been to Fuxian Lake æä»æč15 years ago. There were lots of Nong Jia le ć柶äčaround the lakes. Here you may try the best potatoes rice æŽèé„đđcooked in copper pot éé and the lake fishes dishes were good and the vegetables were fresh too đđ. Yuxi is also the starting point of China Laos Railways äžäœŹéè·Ż and you can access easily to Puer æźæŽ±, Xishuang Banna è„żćççșł and Vientiane äžè±Ą, the missing link for ling time. Happy travelling and stay safe at all times. đčđčđč.
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.
Such an inspiring story.this is where my ancestors came from.thank you so much girl for showing us this yunnan trip .â€ïž
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.
Hello Sweet Lady đ, that bed made you look tiny. Another great video again, thanks for showing me the real China â€â€
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..
Possibly you intended.to say â not only â.?
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.
Whenever I watch your video ,feel like traveling in dreams ,though not in person, thank you for your adventurous videos â€
Appreciate your project...since China is really big, probably eventually you will need to organize your videos into playlist by province for easier viewing.
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.
This is my new favourite CZcams channel!
Beautiful lake. I was surprised Kunming is 1,890 metres (6,200 feet) above sea level.
That hi elevation and southerly latitude explains why it's a consistent 15 degrees spring-like weather year-round. It's also where you take the amazing new hi-speed rail from Kunming to Vientaine Laos, an engineering marvel because it crosses thru hundreds of mountains & rivers the whole way. What used to take ten days to travel roughly now takes just hours! And soon it will connect to Thailand, Bangkok and all the way down to my Singapore! Then I will be able to go all the way from Singapore to Germany via china-built hi-speed rail!!
Oh, you must be in penang, so the proposed hsr will go past you too, if malaysia comes on board (the only country not to yet from singapore -> germany)
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 Iâd be lost! đ đđŒ
This is definitely the lost paradise I want to visit someday. Chinese beautiful landscape are so underated and unknown to the outside world.
Wow amazing...
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!
I love binge watching your videos! Keep safe always!
REALLY AMAZING CHINA - There is so much to explore WOW
Oh those places that you take us to are really clean and beautiful.Hope to see more of beautiful china đ
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...
Thank you for sharing your great adventure with us sis! I love watching traveling vlogs!
JUST HEAVEN CHINA is just heaven !â€đđđâ€
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 â€â€
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.
The lakes in Yunnan are all called sea, such as Erhai Lake, which is interpreted by hai as sea
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. đ
I've been waiting for you to travel to Yunnan region, next. I'm excited that this adventure has started...yay! TQVM Yan.....đ„°đ€
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.
You kind a person who have positive behaviour in default đ and thats amazing.
Thank you for another Great video! The content, the editing and the music are Brilliant! I am learning so much from Youđ€
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!!
The epidemic has taught me to do what I think, just like your story. Thank you for sharing!
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!
Love it, love it, love it! You are a great tour guide!!
Many thanks beautiful city ! From Singapore.
Ah... Yunnan! My favorite province in China. đđđ
Your videos are amazing! You need more subscribers!! Get someone who knows how to get you channel more exposure! Based on what Iâm seeing your channel should be in the 1.5 - 2 million subscriber range! Good luck!
Nah ,with the west diligently pumping out anti-chinese contents, I dont think this channel can easily hit 1M
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.đ
Now I really do want to visit China. Lovely people and beautiful countryside. People seem happy and well fed and there seems to be such a strong sense of community.
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 ... đ„Ž
Many places in Yunnan are old-growth forest, so the local people have the habit of eating insects. If you see insect food in other parts of China, you may only be in scenic spots to satisfy tourists' curiosity. The internet is filled with many misconceptions, such as Chinese people eating bats. In fact, many reported news articles, carefully examining the pictures, indicate that "the pictures come from Southeast Asia". For example, when it comes to dog meat, China hardly eats it, while South Korea is a major consumer of dog meat. Seeing is believing, China welcomes you!đ
You are showing the original China at its best. Thanks
Thank you - I really like travel videos like yours - showing normal, everyday things, very interesting and educational
Very beautiful! Enjoyed it.Thnks a lot.
Amazing that the food that was for 3 people was more than her hotel room.
Thanks for your videos Yan, they're inspiring. After watching "unseen China" playlist now I really want to visit it.
Another amazing video. I'm guessing that big beautiful clear lake is an ancient glacial lake.
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!
It's really nice to see my hometown since I haven't been back for over four years. Thanks for this post.
Hello from Switzerland ç棫! æççćæŹąäœ çè§éą! Thank you so much for sharing all these beautiful parts of China!
