You should first go to Yunnan, then Chengdu, Chongqing, and finally Xi'an. Taking the high-speed train should not be tiring because the travel time is short, at most five hours.
11 hours in a train ? 7 hours driving a car killed me ! I only did it once, and never again. I'll never visit China, so I'm glad to see it through your eyes. I'll never leave my little island of Ireland, and have no desire to see the rest of the world. I'm just happy as I am ! Good luck on your travels.
Only on National Day will the city be decorated with national flags, lanterns will be used during the Spring Festival, and many real flowers will be placed on Labor Day.
Hello Matt & Julia, all your videos are very interesting, I love each and every one of them. Still, the prices are very low . Never mind the critic and politicians. Just be happy and enjoy your trip. We are enjoying your trip in actuality its and eye opener for us to see china thru your videos. Westerns media sure paint a different picture of this gorgeous country 😮. Take care, thanks 😊 ID. 🇺🇸
I have always been sceptical of travelling to China.🇨🇳 Taking into consideration your recent videos. You guys are definitely changing my mind. It looks very robust and exotic.
as a chinese, I usually give up high speed train journey more than 6- 8 hours but taking airplane, cause the long journey made me back pain and headache.
That guy you were chatting with at 3:54 in the escalator is clearly serving in the PLA, his hairstyle and backpack give it away. Probably on the way home on leave. From my encounters with active-duty Chinese soldiers, they’re confident, disciplined, cheerful, and helpful. No wonder the Chinese people admire their military so much.
The PLA stands for People's Liberation Army, they are there to defend the Chinese people. Soldiers of western military is basically hired mercenaries working for military corporations to used for imperial invasion of poor defenseless brown nations
The city looks amazing! I am loving this adventure and following you both. My guess on the haze/smog that it is pollution unfortunately. I cannot wait to see the next video. Be safe and have an awesome time!!
Kunming and Xi'an are 1,100 kilometers apart. I recommend taking a flight, which takes around two hours and costs about $30. Another option is to take a sleeper on a green train. Although it takes a full day and night, it allows for uninterrupted rest.
Busiest city: I'd go with Hanoi, Vietnam. Wild! .... on reflection, maybe Delhi, India was even more chaos and a very polluted city! Great question Matt and Julia.
The most important holiday in China is the New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, followed by the National Day. Try not to travel during these two festivals, as tickets are hard to buy and hotel reservations are hard to come by.
It's common to have foggy and overcast weather in northern part of China during Autumn/Winter time. In Xi'an it would sometimes be smoggy or even sandy, since it is not far from the second largest desert in Asia, same like Beijing.
Wow, traveling across China during Golden Week-brave move! The crowds can be a lot, but the train system here is amazing, even when it's packed. China’s high-speed trains are top-notch, and the ride from Kunming to Xi’an definitely shows you just how impressive the infrastructure is. Xi’an itself is a must-see, with its rich history and cool mix of ancient and modern vibes. Can’t wait to see how your trip goes-hope you have an awesome time and enjoy the ride!
xi'an is a city at northernside of qinling mountain,the biggest mountain seperates china into north and south. the wind from north is stopped here by the mountain, the dust from all over north are falling down here in the city, that makes xi'an city always dusty. but luckily it's natural dust, not industrial pollution.
6:30 “the reality of taking a train in your late 20’s” - ha ha ha! Don’t worry about it, having a down day afterwards is perfectly fine! Experiences are a spectrum of events, just fill the spectrum. BTW: Greetings from my partner and my late 60’s and we are still traveling intensely! Mind you, maybe a tad-slower these days!
I found Xi'an less tidy than what I'm used to see in China. Don't know why. I would recommend Famen temple outside Beihai if you have the time. It's a HUGE temple and very very impressive. Will absolutly go there a second time.
I think all foreigners who travel to China must travel to level 4-5 cities to be qualified to evaluate whether China is developed or backward! Your trip is so cheap.
I missed seeing the toilet tour on that 11 hour train!! What is going on at your channel, are you lowering the standards?? ha ha Looking forward to meeting the terracotta warriors through your eyes. Love to both from the Latin american Sasha!!
hi julia, you must stand out in the crowds with your long lovely blonde hair. great seeing places i will never get too. love the way you finish of the videos.
The price of trains will not increase during holidays, and it is most likely that you will not be able to buy tickets.Because there are too many people who need to buy tickets.
Recommend watch the performance show in Xi'An. Most of tourists attractions in China have performance show. Some show have being played 20 years and tkt sale US$1.5 billion comparable to Broadway Show in New York city.
I found an article that might explain why the crowds weren't as bad as expected. Search for the title: "China's National Day holiday subdued amid sluggish economy"
11 hrs on train is long 😅. gotta plan trips to keep it around 4 hrs or less travel time and it's better to see more of a region than to see more regions during a single trip to limit travel time/exhaustion lol
MISSOURI, USA! Hello! I wanted to let you know that my SUBSCRIPTION doesn’t stay active. For along time I never checked because I first subscribed years ago. For awhile now I have to hit the button again and again because it just doesn’t stay active. You might want to say something to all of your viewers incase they aren’t aware of the problem!❤
I guess earlier generations were made of tougher stuff surviving a 36 hour journey from Guangzhou to Beijing on the old slow trains for example. 😉 Xi'an is simply a treat for history lovers.
China is a big industrial country, with factory pollution, thermal power generation, and automobile exhaust all forming solid tiny particles suspended in the air. Summer is the monsoon season, with heavy rainfall and fast air flow. These particles are quickly blown away. The autumn monsoon decrease, rainfall decreases, and the air becomes turbid. Clouds are liquids, but this is very tiny and is haze.
We are a travel channel, not political, never have been, never will be. There are plenty of policial videos you can watch if that interests you. Our channel is about the world and normal people though our eyes ✌🏻
@@Ultra-Violettotally disagree. Very possible and sensible leaving politics to those more interested in that, while teaveling and enjoying other parts of different countries.
No amount of crowds scare us! Let’s goooooo 😂
What’s the busiest place you’ve ever been? 🤔
Hi! Disney Orlando 😅
Flying out of Amsterdam airport on a Saturday.
You should first go to Yunnan, then Chengdu, Chongqing, and finally Xi'an. Taking the high-speed train should not be tiring because the travel time is short, at most five hours.
Hi ! Hong Kong
Alpine Valley Music Theater, East Troy, Wisconsin. I believe it was "Elvis Costello and The Attractions" with opening act "Talk Talk."

Same here. Quite content on the Norfolk coast in England 👍😀

Xian is an ancient city, along silk road.Enjoy your adventures!🎉
Kunming and Xi'an are 1,100 kilometers apart. I recommend taking a flight, which takes around two hours and costs about $30. Another option is to take a sleeper on a green train. Although it takes a full day and night, it allows for uninterrupted rest.
Getting to and from the airport take time and cost money.
Even peak season hotel prices are crazy cheap!
Chinese hotels face fierce competition.
If you show a high price on app, nobody will order.
The smog weather is the normal weather for the season there. If you travel to Xi'An in Summer or Winter, the sky would be blue without cloud.
Hello! Your video is simply fantastic. Very well written and I wish you much success and engagement. Have a great weekend. Greetings from Brazil.
Thank you so much! Love to Brazil! ❤️🇧🇷
@@MattandJulia Thank you. Come visit us sometime. See you soon, friend.
Even $35 a night for a hotel room is crazy cheap
Cheap for us, not the locals.
For us it is an hours work, for the local a whole day, if not more.
Busiest city: I'd go with Hanoi, Vietnam. Wild! .... on reflection, maybe Delhi, India was even more chaos and a very polluted city! Great question Matt and Julia.

Your vids are great, both my sons live in Shanghai and love it, originally from Edinburgh
great video. thank you for sharing your travel fun.
Good Luck on your travel in China-enjoy!
What an interesting city!! Seems like there is so much to take in. And eat! Love seeing the street food. Any favorites?
Nice video! ❤
you can rent these traditional clothes and make artistic photos,it's all for rent,tourists mostly don't buy,just rent
The most important holiday in China is the New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, followed by the National Day. Try not to travel during these two festivals, as tickets are hard to buy and hotel reservations are hard to come by.
Thanks for the tour its all very interesting it must be a sight to behold everywhere you look.

Great video👍🏻
Very beautiful. Thank you.
I believe many Chinese went to other countries such as Thailand, and Korea.... during the national holidays
I’m sure many do, but with a population of 1.4 billion there are plenty of people still in the country too 😁❤️
xi'an is a city at northernside of qinling mountain,the biggest mountain seperates china into north and south.
the wind from north is stopped here by the mountain, the dust from all over north are falling down here in the city, that makes xi'an city always dusty.
but luckily it's natural dust, not industrial pollution.
Oh, I thought it might be something dangerous like telling a policeman he's ugly.
Temperature inversion about 400 meters above you traps the smog, smoke, and dust.
A few years later, Kunming to Xi 'an will only take 5-6 hours
I don’t doubt it, insane 😍❤️
不会计划又要修高铁了吧？
@@rayx8329 西渝+渝昆，部分路段已经通了，其他的也快了吧，以后就不会那么绕了，而且都是350km/h的
October 1 is China’s birthday that’s why the national flags were all over the places.
No more, ‘ I am shocked …” headline😂
Curious as to whether you have seen many non Asian folks during travels through China? I expected to see some in your videos but haven't spotted any.
中国非亚洲人还是很少的
It's not busy cuz it's already mid of the golden week so those who travel are already at their destination😂
Good luck. It will be busy to say the least😀
Hahaha, let’s gooooo!! 😁
great video

Try it during chinese new year

The flag is only hoisted during the National Day week😊😊😊
I think it’s the air quality , I know it happens in South Korea too
💛💛💛
I love your videos.

Welcome to Xian. Xian first became the capital in 1046BC. Enjoy.
"late twenties"... what an old crone 😂 Can't wait to see the terracotta warriors! 🤩

Xi'an is such a nice city
national holiday I stayed at home.
For any journey lasting longer than 4 hours by bullet trains, you should seriously consider flying...
never do in China !, do Not prance around in a Brit colonial army uniform or ww2 japan army uniform with a bayonet rifle. not even on Halloween
$32 a night for a room? That is amazingly inexpensive, what are $32 rooms like?
Just hold a piece of A4 size white paper and stand in middle of busy road.
Then, you will get your excitement.
😘😘😘😘😍👏👏👏
视频太短不够看😂，希望以后有30分钟以上的视频
Hahaha, there will be ❤️
@@MattandJulia现在是旅游淡季，出行的人不是很多，如果遇到春节长假😂出行，你会感到仿佛在塞伦盖蒂大草原看动物大迁徙。
注意休息，11小时的火车旅行真的不建议，超过六小时的火车旅行还是改成飞机吧！希望您们玩的开心

We had done lots of 4 hour journeys prior to this one. But we need to get to Beijing soon, and decided why not by train 😌
@@MattandJuliagreat wall of China soon then?

Expert level click bait opening, but still a good video.

@@Ultra-Violettotally disagree. Very possible and sensible leaving politics to those more interested in that, while teaveling and enjoying other parts of different countries.
talk about it when you are in the USA. China respects and invests in her people.
Or maybe you should try your best to accept the fact that you've been brainwashed by misinformation given by western medias about China.🥱
