Poppy, I lived in China for 6 years up to July this year, and I've been one of your subscribers for a couple of years now. I have seen many of your videos, and love every one of them. This one is so beautiful, and shows me a part of China I could only dream of seeing. You do an amazing job. I also loved your videos of Australia, especially that you liked Melbourne, my home city! Keep up the great job with your vlogs. I hope they reach some of the China-haters out there and let them see China is not all what they think it is.
That’s because one big country feel threatened and obviously they are the world media that spreading the hate! The fact is Chinese are very friendly people
I traveled to Shaxi 5 years ago and the scene back then was exactly the same in the video. This video reminds me of so many memories! I didn't go to the Ouyang house but when the old lady opens up the window and the sunlight comes into the room, it feels like time travel. Such an emotional moment for me.
Nice video ladies, the quality was great and the small town showed a lot about the small town and the people. The beautiful dog added part was nice and he/she seemed very friendly!
As a Chinese living in city,I feel peace and quiet in this video,there is no fickleness of city,so I look forward to your next video and hope you have more amazing journeys in next
I spent my summers and winters away from school at my father's extend family in the rural China. It was beautiful just like this. Fields of green, clear river to swim in, friendly farmers to greet you and seemed to know you because you are part of the village family. It made a much happier person than my urban classmates.
Poppy this is by far the most enjoyable video I have watched! I thank you so much for doing this! This town is so ancient but so colourful in every way! I need to go there to experience myself!
Definitively this is a great, great, great video with an appropriate traditional Chinese music that makes it perfect. My favorite one together with the fairy tale video you have filmed in Liking. Congrats Poppy and Jordan for such a highest quality professional job.
Beautiful video, i miss living in China. Thanks for showing more of China! The West doesn't paint a pretty picture and i loved every minute I was there.
Dear Poppy and Jordan, I love watching all your videos, especially this particular one. Both of you are vibrantly young but with profound personality. You lead your viewers to enjoy the unbiased social activities and truthful customs. I go to China to stay for half a year every year. Being an 87 years old person with a walker and two canes, there is no way I can visit many places. With your wonderful videos, I can enjoy the places I crave to be in at my comfortable condo. Both of your narrations are to the point and with such soothing voices too. It is very relaxing to follow your fabulous visits. Thank You so very much . May God bless both of you and keep you both SAFE !
I fell in love with the dog who looks like a Siberian Husky. Beautiful village. I'd love to retire to a place like that. Thanks for the beautiful video.
I truly feel like I got to experience Shaxi with you. This video is so beautifully done, and the joy you felt in this place is contagious! Thank you for sharing your joy with us, Poppy.
Poppy the music that went with this video was so perfect and so amazing. You have quite a gift for being able to set the mood so perfectly with your music choices
You find the coolest and most unique places there. There are a few touristy places I want to see, but " real life"in a foreign country is what I always seek. That old house was really special but the language barrier is always a problem for me and really holds back .
Bravo...awesome video. what a beautiful town that is...and a sweet dog too! I enjoyed every moment of it... and that tour of the old house was amazing. Your work is highly appreciated... and always looking forward for your next video..... Keep it up.! 👍👏
Poppy's and Jordan's videos always make the people see the hidden gems in China, and I couldn't help laughing out loud when I saw they fondled and played with that lovely dog in the video. Creatures with loving hearts might have the empathy to know each other, but I still broke into a sweat with a little fright because how we could ensure that that strange dog had been inoculated against rabies, which is seldom done in rural China as I know. That section of the dog fondling was one of the loving, heart-melting and soul-searching parts in such a remarkable video. However, for the sake of safety, I advise not to do that way unless the master of those animals are nearby and tell you that they are very safe and friendly to human beings. Another great video, and we are expecting the next one!
Your selection of music around the four minute mark is spot on; it transported me back to my time in Chengdu and makes me want to return and walk around Shaxi, thanks so much.
You have definitely done justice to this lovely small town with this beautiful video...nicely captured visuals accompanied by authentic Chinese music, nice info and even a bit of poetry! :D
Fantastic video. Beautifully filmed and atmospheric, edited to a very high standard. You have a very good eye for the contents and movement of each shot when building the montages - you wouldn't see better on broadcast channels!. I visited Lijiang and Dali but missed Shaxi. You really sold it here, loved it.
I thought you quit Poppy, and today I saw your video popped out! So nice to have you back and wow what a nice video. Love everything of this video, the music, the introduction, and scenery and the way you expressed how you feel about the town. I just put shaxi on my bucket list!
I really like this story, I can see why someone would want to stay longer to take it all in. The slow-motion really helps too. I do not know if I said that right but you know what I mean.
I just stumbled in and saw what I had missed two years ago when I traveled from Kunming to Lijiang and overnight in Dali. Makes me want to go back to Yunnan again to visit this village. thanks for sharing.
Watching your video again when I’m visiting Shaxi these days. The town hasn’t changed much. The locals are friendly, living in peace and by talking to them, I’ve found out even more attractiveness of this little cute but peaceful town. I’ve discovered this hidden gem in my own country through your video and thank you soooo much! Hope you can be back in China one day and keep discovering the hidden gems here!
love watching this video! You can see the smile from those ppl in rural China that they are very content with their life there. It is beautiful and peaceful. Thanks for spreading the beauty of China in your eyes.
This video made my day. Two days, actually. I watched it last night then watched it again this morning. Great film work, great subject, great music, authentic travelers. Nice. Thank you.
Great video, great place, Poppy. About 2 years ago, I visited Zhangjiajie, incredible scenery and from there did a road trip to Fenghuan (Phoenix Ancient Town) on the border of Hunan and Guizhou provinces. This is another place you should feature in your videos in the future as there are very few foreign tourists. Just a suggestion.
@@thorkarlsen4559 I don't think it's appropriate to say it's not Han Culture 'at all'. Yes It's Bai Culture, but Bai culture was deeply affected by Han culture in all aspects. From the video, you can still found their architectures are obviously roots from the Han culture. Besides, the real China doesn't have to be Han culture at all
Poppy you are very gentle and caring the way you loved the cute dog it shows your other side. Great. Your videos on China are awesome. I imagine myself with both of you and travelling this land. Some of the places are fairytale land. Awesome please keep it up.
This video reminds me of my hometown. I love your videos and your positive attitude. I enjoy your videos very much. It’s already 4:00am and I have to work in a few hours, but what the heck, let me just watch a few more of your videos! Great job!
Wow you captured this place so well and makes me want to visit this place, wow ! Truly magical. And I'd taken the dog with me haha (of course not really,but I would have wanted too) 👍
Awesome editing and great camerawork Poppy, you made a small hillside village look absolutely cinematic. The quality of your videos are improving heaps. Keep it up :)
I strongly recommend MEILI SNOW MOUNTAIN 200km north to Lijiang, stunning and secret ,the highest peak of Yunnan(6740m),also well-known as 1 of the 8 scare mountains of tibetan buddism. there is also a hike route in the yubeng valley which you should never miss it.
That dog is a keeper. It’s those little things in China that make it so special!! We loved Dali so much we ran out of time to see Shaxi. Well we’re not going to miss it this year. Thanks again for that beautiful video. It brought tears to the eyes. PS: Do you really slurp your coffee?? 🤭 😂
Poppy, I lived in China for 6 years up to July this year, and I've been one of your subscribers for a couple of years now. I have seen many of your videos, and love every one of them. This one is so beautiful, and shows me a part of China I could only dream of seeing. You do an amazing job. I also loved your videos of Australia, especially that you liked Melbourne, my home city! Keep up the great job with your vlogs. I hope they reach some of the China-haters out there and let them see China is not all what they think it is.
Graham Co你好！希望你在中国过的开
Oh Melbourne ... I lived there for 5 years studying in UniMelb ... loved the city
Haters will be haters and often times they have an agenda. Do not waste time on them. Just ignore.
welcome to china
That’s because one big country feel threatened and obviously they are the world media that spreading the hate! The fact is Chinese are very friendly people
Poppy in my eyes this is your best video yet! Your editing and music are very good and such an amazing little town x
matt clark yes yes I agree
Meow，Meow，Meow
Aw thanks so much!!
@@WheresPoppy Your welcome! Waiting to you to start your ow travel show on tv :)
How cute is the dog reaching out her paw to you guys!!!
I know oh my goodness!! haha
Wow. I can't even express how much beauty is in this video
😍
Have you figured out that these videos are less about the topic and more about Poppy's backside? Just sayin'.
So quiet, clean and beautiful little town! Thank you!!
That dog made my day, so gentle and kind.
The dog is too cute, she just tugs on your heart strings.
That is a malamute.

@@WheresPoppy Haha, you're more adorable.
That dog is so cute!!! Highly recommend the local food there in shaxi, its Bai style and really unique, worth to try.
As a Chinese living in city,I feel peace and quiet in this video,there is no fickleness of city,so I look forward to your next video and hope you have more amazing journeys in next

Great Vlog Poppy, Appreciate you making this video to show the world how beautiful China is! Happy Travels! I know you're safe in China!
Thank you!!

It was such an experience exploring this town! Definitely made us happy too!
Hi Poppy It’s good for Jordan to come back from illness, This quiet and beautiful village depends on rice cultivation
Amazing editing Poppy! and this is such a beautiful place, it makes me want to go back to China so bad!
Is Thailand similar to China?
Thanks Kaja! Yeah I'd love to go back to Yunnan!
never thought sisters could go such old and remote landscape in China ，its fantastic！
love the work you've put into editing. Awesome background music.
Ka Ming Ho Thank you!!
I love how peaceful it is
Poppy this is by far the most enjoyable video I have watched! I thank you so much for doing this! This town is so ancient but so colourful in every way! I need to go there to experience myself!
Thank you so much!
a little town that stands still in time !!!! this video is done beautifully. bravo !!!!
Magnificent and stunning views, thanks for sharing useful information and awesome work as usual :)
Thank you Muhammad!
The nature that has been preserved in Shanxi speaks to your soul. I would love to see it in person, thanks for sharing!
Definitively this is a great, great, great video with an appropriate traditional Chinese music that makes it perfect. My favorite one together with the fairy tale video you have filmed in Liking.
Congrats Poppy and Jordan for such a highest quality professional job.
Yunnan has splendid weather and gorgeous natural beauties.
That sweet sweet dog was sooooo cuddly!! I would've had a hard time walking away too!!!
hahaha yep
10:34 OMG, that dog is killing me!!
This really is a genuinely beautiful recording of the true Yunnan Chinese people's life and history. Amazing!!!
Thank you Steven!
Very beautiful city. And the old house so amazing, travel you to the past. One more place to visit in China now :)
Definitely go here!
@@WheresPoppy I'm trying to put it in my next trip together with the beautiful Old Town of Lijiang you have show us. :)
Omg, Poppy, this town is so picturesque. What a nice place to retire to and live. Thank you for bring it to us.
Yunnan province has lot of different cultures and scenes.
yea, Comrade. Got to admit.
wow, so laid-back and beautiful, I should retire to this small town.
haha do it!
Beautiful video, i miss living in China. Thanks for showing more of China! The West doesn't paint a pretty picture and i loved every minute I was there.
China has been demonized since the very first day it met Westerners 700 years ago.

Thank you Roxi!
Poppy the music that went with this video was so perfect and so amazing. You have quite a gift for being able to set the mood so perfectly with your music choices
Thank you! it was hard to find haha
I can feel the peace & tranquility by listening to the background music & watching the scenery of ancient small town.
You find the coolest and most unique places there. There are a few touristy places I want to see, but " real life"in a foreign country is what I always seek. That old house was really special but the language barrier is always a problem for me and really holds back .
This was definitely a gem!
I love it. Especially when the old lady opens the windows on the 2nd Fl, the view is so beautiful.
Bravo...awesome video. what a beautiful town that is...and a sweet dog too! I enjoyed every moment of it... and that tour of the old house was amazing. Your work is highly appreciated... and always looking forward for your next video..... Keep it up.! 👍👏
Thank you!!
Legend says Poppy and Jordan are still in Shaxi petting that dog to this day.
10:20 15:00 Okay I have to bookmark the dog scenes to go back to over and over again
Good comment, Kim.
So cold! thank you poppy! thank you for your best videos .

this little town is so cute!
8:35 and family shrine, very nice moment.
Wow! I missed a gem when I was in that region, and that old house!!! Beautiful.
You have definitely done justice to this lovely small town with this beautiful video...nicely captured visuals accompanied by authentic Chinese music, nice info and even a bit of poetry! :D
Thank you! I'm proud of it!

Thank you Ben!
I hope one day I'll be able to travel around the world like you
Thailand is very cheap///
OMG I love that dog.
us too clearly haha
I really like this story, I can see why someone would want to stay longer to take it all in. The slow-motion really helps too. I do not know if I said that right but you know what I mean.

Wow. This video has opened my eyes to rural China. How beautiful and peaceful. Very enjoyable video. Thank you.

love your high quality videos & your adventures!
Thank you!
Found you again Poppy. Beautiful views again and continue to enjoy your vlogs
Thank you!
Thanks Poppy, I am a big fan of this peaceful, clean and quiet place👍🏻
idyllic, picturesque, laid-back, sunny, breezy.....
Wow! Great presentation and such beautiful scenery!

The locals are friendly, living in peace and by talking to them, I’ve found out even more attractiveness of this little cute but peaceful town. I’ve discovered this hidden gem in my own country through your video and thank you soooo much! Hope you can be back in China one day and keep discovering the hidden gems here!
Hi "Where's Poppy"....i just love your videos about China. And i love your good heart. Namaste ! 🙏
Thank you!!
Miss Poppy, those pinkish flowers with big petals are called magnolia or 木兰/木蘭 mulan flower in Chinese. Yes, Mulan means magnolia flower.
Great job Poppy ,you always make me feel happy,and I'm very happy to see Jordan.
love watching this video! You can see the smile from those ppl in rural China that they are very content with their life there. It is beautiful and peaceful. Thanks for spreading the beauty of China in your eyes.
Jordan seems recovered from sickness. God bless her.
This video made my day. Two days, actually. I watched it last night then watched it again this morning.
Great film work, great subject, great music, authentic travelers. Nice. Thank you.
The music is beautiful! The dog stole my heart

Do it!
I joined tour to visit there 10 years ago. It's changed a lot.
That is the gentlest dog ever.
The Husky is so adorable. :)
I absolutely love your work. It's amazing that a foreigner can unveil so much of the subtle beauties of China. Your videos are making me homesick.
That was a beautiful town❤️👍
Thx for introducing the real China to the world!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful.......

This is really an eye opener. We seldom get the chance to see actual rural China. It's like going back to hundreds of years ago China. Great video
Thank you!
Wow, such a high quality video and narration. It's like watching a discovery channel movie. I really enjoy it.
Thanks Kevin!
I can't even believe it as I only know the city is changing day by day, but you also show the change in rural areas...

In 5:35, the "Ouyang House" is a late Chinese caravansary.
You are such an artist! Great job on this one. You've captured the beauty of this little town. Thank you for sharing the video!
ShaXi沙溪 - Sand Creek
7:01what she said is”天圆地方”sky is a circle and the ground is a square
Stunning ♥️ You made me fall in love with my home country even more ♥️ love from Guangzhou
poppy, thank you for sharing the beauty of our country, support you!
this town is so unlike those big cities in china. clean, less crowded and a lot of beautiful nature scenery.
oh yeah haha
