Thanks everyone for joining me on this dream of mine all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Follow me on Instagram at @davelegenda for more cool pictures from this trip.
DUDE! I'm a native of Heilongjiang, my uncle was a Chinese Border Guard that was stationed in Hehe in 1979-1989. He told me stories of how Russian border guards actually came and traded binoculars, a compass, and even truck spare tires!
11:02, western people might think that we Russians are rude, but we are just straight and they were trying to warn the Italian guy because of his safety, and as he insisted on crossing and asking, that's why they looked like upset, and maybe they thought "this person it's out of his mind or he is stupid". Nothing personal, just 2 different mentalities: European and Russian.
Hi, I am Malaysian of Chinese descent. I want to think how, we of all nationalities, to be human beings. I have American, Chinese, European, and other race/nationality friends. If we ever spend enough time together, we will just realize that we are the same, trying to live and enjoy life just as everyone else. Let the politicians talk about politics. We talk about cultures, food, and maybe whisky or wine or whatever. That would be good enough.
@@saccanana life ain’t sweet cuzzo and Russians don’t have your same mentality you should respect their culture not everyone wants to be like you or like the west that’s their culture let the world be diverse and let them be with how they speak they claim it you don’t period
As an airline pilot I’ve flow over this city countless times going between Shanghai and NYC. I’ve always wondered what it’s like down there because it’s a pretty sizable city (on both sides of the river). Well now I have an idea 😊 Thanks! Great job.
You're basically living my dream! Travelling through the Russian Far East is one of my life goals. I'm so fascinated by this part of the world, so thank you for reporting these trips in your videos ❤
One of the most inhospitable, unexplored areas in the world.... hundreds if not THOUSANDS of miles from the nearest hospital? Yea... I'm kosher on that. Rock climbing in the Cascades is as dangerous as I can stomach lol.
I was on the Chinese side of the tri point border with Russia and North Korea a few months back… of course crossing was absolutely out of the question, although we wanted to. Nice to see it from the other perspective!
@@miliba you can get the train to a town called Hunchun in the Korean autonomous region of Jilin then from there, a taxi to the border point. Was just exploring the borderlands with some friends.
Dave Is the kind of dude that will wake you up on a journey in the middle of the night just to show you a random river or a godforsaken town in the tundra. Love that passion and the spirit man, i somehow feel identified with you in this matter. Greetings from Argentina, keep up with this quality content.
As a resident of Belogorsk I appreciate the amount of attention lol. Noone outside of Amur Oblast knows about this hometown of mine, even though it's the second largest city in the entirety of Amur Oblast, which is huge. But still, it's pretty funny seeing your reaction to the statue of Lenin. A normal thing for us is a strange peculiarity for others. And how you didn't even bother to check the town. Well, I guess we don't really have anything to show anyways, besides the train station.
To be fair, I only had one hour before the train to Khabarovsk, it was already dark and it was freezing! But it did seem like a lovely place from the marshrutka.
Cool to meet someone from Donbass, they have a very heavy situation and it is close to my heart because I watched it unfold while staying up late on the other side of the planet
@@Matt_from_Florida because Russia does not care about Donbass people... and Russia does not care about prosperity of that region. Russia just uses them..
What's wild about that is that back in the day were told that it's because they were "commies". But now Russia isn't even a communist country anymore, yet we're still told the same propaganda about them as we're starting a new cold war with them. It's all bs.
@@ViraL_FootprinT.ex.e This mentality appeared mainly because "they were commies", since communism promoted equality, friendship of nationalities and gave many social guarantees. So people were not so embittered at each other in endless competition and market relations, which modern Russians become under capitalism. Probably a fake smile, feigned tolerance and other attributes of the West appear soon.
I’m intrigued that whenever you convert Rubles, you always do it into British pounds instead of Euros (your own currency) or US dollars. Makes it nice and easy for me (as a Brit)!
I live not far from this places in Irkutsk but I have never been there. It's interesting to see a foreigner opinion of your country, thank you! By the way your russian is pretty good, vocabulary is reach enough.
@@davetheinspiration Olkhon is more wild and close to nature, what about Listvyanka - it is more touristic and dirty sometimes, but it has some interesting places to see! Listvyanka also have a lot of nice cafe to have a breakfast and apartments to live in. If you have some questions about our region - you are welcome.
That river is so narrow, I expected it to be much bigger, thanks for showing this amazing town though, it is such an interesting place. It looks and feels so western/Russian yet is just right beside China
Hi Dave, I'm Chinese living in Germany, it is very interesting to see China Heihe from the Russian side, and I can relate to your excitement, haha Hope I could visit Russia far east as well, one day. (have been to St. Petersburg only)
Every time one of your videos pops up in my feed I have to go put the kettle on and cancel any plans for the next half hour. Very entertaining and interesting content. Keep living your dreams and all the best from a cold and wet Scotland 👍
Congrats with the Far East trip.I honestly believe it is one of the regions in the world,which is genuinely underrated in terms of travel.Hope to make it to there soon!
Just watched your latest video about the start of your far Eastern adventure. Although i've never been, I am fascinated by the Russian far east so I look forward to your further explorations! As for where to see the Pacific from, somewhere like SovietskayaGavan/Various would be very different and unusual but I would love to travel the many remote but beautiful bays that line the coast of Primorsky Krai. Just one last thing... It's whisky and not whiskey! I'm Scottish and Scotland is the home of whisky, all other 'whiskeys' are foreign imitations.
The Pacific & the Atlantic are 2 entirely different experiences in the USA because your muse has a *COLD* Alaskan current flowing South while the USA East Coast has the *WARM* Gulf Stream flowing North!!
Within Europe we are not really used to having borders anymore. When i was Israel 2 years ago a border guard told me i was in severe danger almost crossing an appearently very dangerous border on my MTB.
I had been to Hailanpao (Blagoveshchensk) with my parents when I was five crossing the China Russian boarder from Heihe. It was the first time I had been aboard. And Hailanpao is still the only city of Russia I have been to. Hopefully I can explorer the Russian Far East like you after the pandemic. By the way, it's interesting to see how the distance between people came close with the effect of alcohol.
My friend I'm enjoying your hilarious video... this region of Russia is interesting, the people are interesting.... so ironic since Russia is been in the news more often.
One way you might be able to surprise the Russian locals is by taking your glove off when you shake their hand because it's a sign of respect across Eastern Europe and Russia :)
When i travelled on the trans siberian i stayed drunk so i was on the same level as the other passengers. In 3 days i must have met around 30 different people and half of them were absolutely steaming drunk on vodka. If you are sober it can be an unbearable and intimidating experience especially in 3rd class, but sometimes you are lucky and speak to a friendly drunk and have a laugh for a few hours. Like 18:20 restaurant cart are the best experiences when you find a group that are friendly and curious and don't cause hassle. I would recommend nothing but 1st class travel if you enjoy privacy and absolutely 1st class if you cannot speak russian, otherwise you will have a hard time and you'll be screaming to depart the train.
For once I feel like it would be much safer to get a ride from strangers in Far East Russia than in US.....anyway most Russian here seems pretty friendly not the cold hearted Siberian the mainstream western medias portrayed
@@mr.c6324 The sad reality is that our leaders see that "culture" export as the only way to effectively practice Imperialism in the 21st century. Until humans start going back to physical warfare, psychological warfare takes its place.
I love your journey to the Far East. By the way, the Heihe pronunciation is different from what the spelling suggests. It should be pronounced as "Heyher" - as in hey (not hi) and her. It is a transliteration from Chinese word meaning black river.
19:30 so sad to hear the man is from Donetsk and knowing that his hometown is just decimated. I hope he is doing alright and that peace talks can soon begin between Russia and Ukraine. Brothers needn't fight brothers.
I enjoyed the video. But the first city looked to have nice buildings, that I could see in the background. Would have been nice to see more of that citie's architecture.
Молодец, molto bene Davide. I am thoroughly enjoying your trip to the Russian Far East. Any chance that you could do some videos in Italian? Interested to hear you discuss the connection between Italians and Russia.
Where you are standing was part of China around a century ago, when it was Qing Dynasty in China. In the year 1900 the Russian Empire launched a ruthless massacre against thousands of Chinese residents in Hailanpao, known as Blagoveshchensk in Russian.
The winter of 海蘭泡 (Blagoveshchensk) is not that harsh. My hometown is about 700km southern of this city ant the average climate of my hometown is about 7 to 8 degrees celsius warmer in winter than that of this city, and you could also find people jogging.
I haven't a word of Russian... but it got you out of a tight spot when you were thinking of crossing the border into China. You could have been shot on the spot. Here in Ireland, we'd call you a chancer. If you really thought things through, you'd probably adopted a different approach. Being a foot passenger at minus 26 degrees celsius is not that wise. But when I was your age, I walked into Germany from Holland in the dead of night, and was surprised there were no border guards to check my passport. So I was a chancer, just like you. Please visit Ireland sometime. You'd love West Cork, Kerry and Donegal ! Best wishes.

Random strangers in Russia always try to befriend me. Here in America we were lied to and told that they were unfriendly.
What's wild about that is that back in the day were told that it's because they were "commies". But now Russia isn't even a communist country anymore, yet we're still told the same propaganda about them as we're starting a new cold war with them.
