Thanks you for showing the positive side of China! From China, living in US, I am so proud to see the beautiful places, wonderful arts, modern infrastructures, and friendly people in your China videos. I have been following your Channel for a few years. It is such a surprise to me when I found those videos about China from you! Enjoy your time in China! - Gang Wang
You have outdone yourselves in this video. Starting with great subject matter, your filming was incredible, the editing was superb and the use of the music to enhance the experience was just amazing. Well done, can I say more? Thank you for bringing us inside China and showing us how beautiful it is and how beautiful the people are.
This video made my morning for many reasons. I’ve had the good fortune to visit scores of countries around the world including China, and firmly believe that while the architecture, landscape and food may differ, we are all one people with the same hopes, dreams, fears and struggles all living under the same big sky. Our differences are to be celebrated as they add colour to life, and our humanity is to be shared as it is our strength in times of grave distress. Your video popped up in my feed today and I’m grateful that you shared. As an Indian, I have nothing but respect and fondness for China; and it’s great to see two Americans enthusiastically make their way around the country. When we discard the lenses of geopolitics and prejudice, the world becomes much more accessible and enjoyable. Thank you for showing this and living it. RUclips tip amounts are peculiar because of the conversion but there’s an 8 for good luck! Best wishes from Dubai 🙌🏼
I watched this video through tears. I am 68 years old and I want to be you when I grow up. For now, this old crippled body will live through your adventures. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us all. Bless you on your travels.
My 19 year old niece is in China working for 6 months, she said it is beautiful and the people are amazing….. she went alone after graduation because she has a heart for adventures. Thank you for sharing this amazing place….
China can be said to be the safest place in the world, and the police on the street seldom carry guns. And many police officers have shot very few people throughout their careers.
The video's views are beyond deserved, a masterpiece in cultural and geographic display. The heights during your climb were breathtaking, more power to you for being able to withstand such. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Best,
I’ve never been there, my wife did 20 years ago. She loved the place so much, she went back every year and bought a house there. She told me she wanted to live there when we retire. Unfortunately she passed away a few years ago, I sold the house and wonder if I ever want to visit there in my life time.
I don’t know why, but I was out of breath just watching, and I didn’t want it to end. Amazing country with some amazing storytelling. A truly awesome episode.
As a Chinese person, this video has made me cry many times. It's a very touching travel vlog full of humanity. Thank you, you guys are really gentle and kind. I love my country, and I also love the China in your eyes. Thank you......!!!
"What a day, what a life," she says. WHAT A VIDEO! You just did this while still waiting for your boat and it's one of your best ever. Breathtaking. I needed it too. You guys make me feel good.
Confused here, an avid gardener, tea doesn't grow in the zones in the mountains you are visiting. Wonder why they say they delivered over mountains to areas that may have climate to grow? Tea had specific climate, and mountain is not one
Tea grows in Puer, another place of Yunnan province, a couple of hundreds of kilometers south of Lijiang. When you take a flight to Kunming the capital of Yunnan, if you hop on a train going west, you end up in Lijiang. If you go south, you arrive in Xishuangbanna and Puer is along the way. They all belong to Yunnan province, China. @@michelebushnik2874
Welcome such friendly foreign friends to visit China. As a Chinese, I can tell you that China has an extremely safe environment, friendly people, countless natural beauty, historic sites, a long culture, and an endless variety of cuisines. China is a treasure for all travel lovers!
I am a TV directer, I’ve never seen a vlog like this in my life! this is the beeeest vlog about China! Even for broadcasting standard!Kudos to you guys! it’s stunning! Epic! music,editing, everything is exceptional! Talk to a producer, pretty sure you can make your own show if you guys want!
I visited Lijiang 3 months ago, your video just reminds me of the beautiful, gorgeous,wonderful town once again, thank you!! It is indeed the place tourists should visit once at least.
@@ManwithNoName-t1o Mao Zedong had already passed away when I was born. Mao Zedong ruled China for 26 years, and China has a history of more than 3,000 years. I think Mao was a bastard. There were many such bastards in Chinese history. They did influence Chinese culture, but no one can erase all Chinese cultural traditions.
This was awesome. I always believe as you travel and meet others it is harder to be angry and want to go to war. The Chinese people are beautiful thanks for showing the world. Their country is magnificent and more people should see it in person!
In the military, I was fortunate enough to travel to almost 50 different countries. Your channel, and these China videos in particular, have confirmed my experience and belief that people are generally peaceful and friendly all over the world. Thanks for pointing this out everywhere you go.
The more we travel the less bias we have. People on this planet, though have very different living status, but all just want to live their own peaceful life. Politicians made people believe everyone wants wars.
Not Americans lmao, I lived in the states for a decade, visited more than 50 cities or so, and met some of the worst people. You step on their lawn, they come out and draw their rifle. The local Tmobile stores and convenient stores clerks are working behind bulletproof glass. People get beaten up just because they "stared at people for more then 3 seconds" lol , I had to constantly check if I was being followed by black people when I was walking alone in Chicago or dwontown L.A, it was scary to go out after sunset especially being Asian, it was abserd.
Because chaos is a ladder. Of course not for the normal people, but only the really vey powerful ones are able to climb up the ladder. While the normal people? They become the 'ladder' itself. So the super powers can't help triggering chaos all over the world. They want to be always climbing up something.
In China, people are generally friendly ...ESPECIALLY if you speak the language as their English is basic, if at all. They'd go out of their way to assist and engage.
Thank you for showing us the "real China." Its insanely beautiful ❤️ Definitely not the China social media wants us westerners to see. Thank you for taking us along your adventure. I love love love Chinese food. Im adding this place to my bucket list. - 🇺🇲
You mean China social media that run by Chinese doesn't want the western to see this？ I'm Chinese, I think it's the western media doesn't want western people to know the real China. And we Chinese is like we are tired of explaining and debating, so we just welcome people to travel here and give their reflection to the world.
I've always known Yunnan is a province with breathtaking landscapes and well-preserved cultures because I'd read it in our geography textbooks in high school as well as on various travel shows on TV. I've been wanting to visit Yunnan for decades and I'm so glad to find your video and see LiJiang through your lens. While I was watching it I found my eyes brimming with tears. I'm Taiwanese, and we love China. My husband and I have decided to take our kids to visit Yunnan and Sichuan next year
Went to China several years ago for a college trip and fell so much in love with the country and the culture. This video gives me dreams of going back one day. Thank you!
I really appreciate these videos, China's always been quite far down on my list of places to visit simply because of what we see in the media. It's pretty close to the top now!
I went to china late last year and honeslty the media narrative was easily broken. I super love my time in Chongqing specially the karst and easily China became my favorite destination in east Asia. Will visit yunnan next cant wait
China actually have the most UNESCO world nature heritages and so many extremely beautiful landscapes. However, all of these are not known to the west (not advertised/promoted/reported by the western medias, as long as many other positive sides of China ). Hope you can come back and explore more places of China.
@@h.b.2146 do u know 稻城亚丁daocheng yading, or do u know 天山 tianshan， do u know jiuszhaigou 九寨沟， or do u know badanjilin dessert 巴丹吉林？ my first comment is about western media not about "westerners", and i am not aiming at spread hatred. I just pointed out the turth that China's nature beauty is beyond what 99.9% westerner's knows about china, and there are so many hidden gems. what makes you so aggressive?
Being from Pakistan, it sad that we dpn't know much about our neighboring country and this video truly opened my eyes. This is the China i desperately want to visit, the ancient towns, their history, civilization, culture, local cuisines, beautiful alleyways, and traditional attires. Truly a wonderful experience watching this.
@@achtungbaby2009that has nothing to do with the comment this gentleman has made. He simply wants to travel to China, plus not all Muslims follow strict religious rules. There's chicken, beef, vegetarian food available and he doesn't need a mosque to make his daily prayers. Maybe you should travel yourself to open your mind up to different people and cultures. Making assumptions about people simply from the place they come from is a problem Chinese people also face, have some consideration please.
just walk outside the gate that says "Lijiang World Heritage Site" and its pretty much a ghetto. The ghetto is reall China, the beautiful restored historic area is "fake" China. Yes, its a real historic city, but its a historic Disney World, it's tourist park.
As a Chinese, I hope you will stop spreading rumors. In fact, there are no slums in China. Moreover, we have more than 50 provinces in China, each of which is very rich, and there are more than 100,000 such scenic spots. I visit different scenery several times every year. I think foreign countries are not as good as I expected, and they are not safe.
Five years ago, I was in China and fell ill. I walked 10 minutes to the pharmacy at 1 a.m. to buy medicine. Last summer, I went to China again and ate too much for dinner and supper. I felt uncomfortable in my stomach and needed to buy medicine again. But this time, I didn’t have to go out to buy it myself. I bought it through the Meituan APP. After I paid, it was delivered to the hotel 20 minutes later. The hotel robot delivered it to my room. It was really convenient and safe.
@@fpking-u1b That's a good question, and I'm equally curious. China has always been there. . . But people’s views on China have been changing The media plays a very important role in this process.
@@fpking-u1b Because of red scare. Western world has been afraid of communism. But communism is not even practiced in real life in china and is just a slogan. Also, even real communism has good side and bad side, as all things do. Western schools only teach people on the bad side.
I hiked Tiger Leaping Gorge in the summer of 2003 when I was backpacking around China by myself. Can’t believe that was 20 years ago! It was one of the sketchiest experiences of my life, but so worth it! After hiking for hours, I took a tiny little boat/raft from one side of the raging gorge to the other. We had to squat down so we didn’t throw off the balance of the raft! I had met a very friendly Chinese couple in Lijiang who ended up doing the hike with me. What an incredible/thrilling experience that I’ll never forget!
I was there in 2006, also backpacking by myself! 😀It changed a lot, but Lijiang was already "Disneylandish" 20 years ago. I prefer it more authentic. The more up and north you go, the less tourists ;-) (Deqen and along the burmese border).
I'm just watching this a month after its posting, but I must say that there needs to be a 'love' button. 'Like' is not strong enough to describe the enjoyment of this video. So much like an amazing documentary. Well done!
Your personal tour of China was amazing, so beautiful, eye opening and different from what we Westerners general see. What a groovy experience for you two and of course, for us. Stay true to your dreams.
That was amazing: one of your best films yet, and it's not just the places (stunning as they are); You guys do travel logs better than absolutely anyone, even on network or cable TV covering not just the attractions but the underlying issues like history, language and culture, plus you do it with zero resouces (whilst they have dozens of camera and sound men, key grips researchers, production assitants etc. ) and because you're paying for stuff yourselves, you keep it real as per time and money, and yet the camerawork, the editing, the sound... absolutely perfect! I hope that, even when you get on your boat and on the ocean, you won't just do beaches and coves, and will still, ocasionally, do more of this stuff because you are just too damn good at it not to!
And the song at 7:46 as well! I just copy and paste my separate comment here: That song is called "The Dream Chaser", written by the legendary LO Ta-yu for the legendary writer, SAN Mao! Jason and Nikki may not know the Chinese lyrics, but the song is so fitting in this video, like it is partly written for them, for this travel vlog in this heavenly place. 天造地设！
Absolutely beautiful video! The first temperature on the mountain when you got off the gaundila was the same as it was in Dallas today, 23° and feels like 11°, with light snow on the ground. Can't wait for ya'll to be on your new boat and back on the water. Safe travels!
I’m happy to say my wife and I visited Lijiang in November of 2012. Thanks for bringing back the memories and sharing the beauty of this ancient town to the world!
As a Chinese who has never been to Yunnan, I was deeply shocked by the beautiful scenery here. Thank you for your video. Yunnan, the next travel destination, scheduled.
Years ago I found your channel when you bought your first "sailboat" and didn't even know how to sail. What kept me interested over all these years is your amazing video's of places that most of us will never be able to see. Thank you so much for what you do every week. It means a lot to many people.
It looks like something out of a fairytale.... What an incredible place! Love that you support the local economy and the artists that create amazing goods. 😍
I am really glad you guys show the world a real China view. Which the people are kind, the views are magnificent. Well done! And I hope most of the people all over the world come to China with an open mind and understanding.
As a local chinese, big thanks to quality videos like this. Chinese people are open and friendly, we got the best infrastructure and scenery for travel
Oooooh WOW! I said it last week and I’ll say it again. BEAUTIFUL! In the first minute I had tears. Just glad it’s you guys Jason and Nikki climbing those ladders not me. You must be having a blast taking lots of footage to be over 20 minutes. I’m loving every second of it!
These last two videos are the very essence of Gone with the Wynns, I`ve been spellbound! Obviously a tourist town yet you managed to get beyond that and engage with the locals. Surprise to me was the chinese coffee ! Splash day is drawing ever closer, fair winds guys xx
This is no longer just a travelogue. It is an immersion into a wondrous culture with beautiful people in a stunning natural and man-made setting. I am overwhelmed and cannot even imagine how it must make you both feel. Thank you!!!
I'm lucky enough to have visited Yunnan and particularly 丽江 on my once every three-year backpacking trips to China before I was disabled by cancer. Your videos is so nicely done. Thank you.
I had the fortune to visit ChengDu before the pandemic. It absolutely blew me away! Everything I thought about China was completely false. I loved every minute of it, and can't wait to go back and explore more. Also, it was very reasonably priced. It makes Mexico seem expensive.
Just came back from a trip to Yunnan, went to Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La, each place has his ethnic group, Dali is mainly Bai, Lijiang is mainly Naxi, Shangri-La is Tibetan, each has its own characteristics! The architecture is beautiful too! 🥳
I can’t believe I liked this video… I thought I was going to hate it but boy was I wrong. I was expecting a travel log, but what I got was an awakening into one of the most beautiful scenery if not the most beautiful place on the planet. Everywhere you looked was a scene out of this world. Thank you so much for trekking to the end of the earth to bring us this amazing experience.
No one can resist Yunnan; you won't find a place like this anywhere else on the planet. It is a land where tropical rainforests and snow-capped mountains coexist, where coconuts and apples are both cultivated. It boasts priceless sunshine and air, serves as the world's earliest tea-producing region, and is also the newest coffee-producing area. Additionally, Yunnan is home to Asia's largest flower cultivation base and wholesale market, housing half of China's plant species. Culturally, there are 25 ethnic minorities along with their unique civilizations. Some still preserve pictographic writing systems and matrilineal social customs. Yunnan even has its own "sea" - a vast and beautiful lake that locals call "Erhai (Er Sea)." And indeed, it is fitting, as every winter, seagulls from Siberia fly here to spend the cold months. They enjoy it so much that they stay longer with each passing year.
While I miss your adventures at sea, I've got to tell you that this China excursion you've taken and documented is GREAT! Thank you so much for bringing me along.
I am Chinese living in the US ! Thanks for showing us all the beautiful sceneries. Life made it harder for me to travel but I am so glad that you guys brought me to such a beautiful place. I know there are a lot of negative comments about my country but I really wanna share some of my opinions. We have a long history , some were bad and some were good just like every other corner of the world . However , our government is transforming little bit by little bit to make it a better place for the people who are living there. I feel kinda frustrated about the western media being dishonest about our country , or they only revealed the partial stories . We have 10 billions people living there , there are pros and cons as well . I just hope the world can be more peaceful , less hatred and less conflict At the end of the day , we are all humans! Wish you guys well and happy traveling ❤
This was such a beautiful episode! Really enjoyed watching it, although no boats! ☺ Thank you! You guys are beautiful! Ever considered posting in 4k? All those wonderful landscapes and places look so much better in a higher resolution! Lots of love to you!
No wonder my friend has been travelling to China for almost 40 years, using his annual days off. He’s a photographer and a food lover and China has all these for him.
That is for sure. We have been to China almost every year. We travelled to Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia,,Thailand, Korea, Japan, HK and Taiwan. The food is fabulous and inexpensive. The weather is warm and the people are friendly and helpful. We were not able to purchase subway tickets the first time when we were in Shanghai. Luckily we got help from a young lady who spoke English and guided us to where we got off for our hotel in the French Zone. Those were the old days. 🎉
been there in 2004 when I was 6, the ancient town looks much more beautiful than it was 20 years ago. At the time the road was also bad, we took 6 hours to cover some 120km journey. Glad to see its huge development.
Tourism does keep these gems alive, even if a little less authentic, they live and traditions survive and change modernity by the city people experiencing another way of life. So all in all, very much a positive, imo.
Hi new subscriber here from the US. I'm disabled and would not be able to hike to such beautiful places. You tuber like you provides me a glimpse of what its like, even for a moment I can imagine and feel the awesome places you visit. Thank you. much.
9:00 This song is called 'If Heaven Has Feelings' and it is the most beautiful song of my father's era. My father and I often have different opinions, but we both highly agree on the elegance of this song.
I’ve been watching you two since the motorhome days and have always enjoyed your videos. However I was blown away by these last two in China. What wonderful scenery and friendly people. It’s so refreshing to see what a country is truly like without all the political spin. I doubt I’ll ‘find myself in China’ but makes me want to go. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place ❤
WOW.... there are not words thank can describe this trip for the beauty and culture. You will NEVER forget this trip and thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, for taking us along.🥰
I watch a whole range of RUclips travellers with my wife, who spent a few months in China when she was younger. She says that this was her favourite RUclips travel video that she's ever watched. Great cinematography, respect for locals, storytelling. Thanks J&N.
Wow, your honesty is refreshing! It's amazing how travel can often exceed our expectations.Thanks for sharing your experience, and I'm inspired to visit China someday too!
I still cannot believe that such a great film was created almost on a whim ! You are both natural filmmakers - love it (as do so many others) ...@@gonewiththewynns
"It'll change your perspective on everything." I absolutely agree - the most valuable thing I got from my time in the US military is having gone to multiple countries. I was not your typical US serviceman, I was in the habit of researching where we were going (a little more time consuming in the 1960s) and staying away from the bars and brothels, instead mingling with the locals (as much as we were allowed to) and learning how similar we all are. I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything! Fantastic episode, thank you for letting us tag along!
Greetings from Australia! I have seen many personal vlog and after editing, your trip and adventure to Yunnan is literally 10x better than any others. I am impressed with the dubbing and the special mention to the Yunnan location (beautiful lifestyle scenery, hiking, colourful night lighting). It was so mesmerisingly beautiful. I hope you can find more similar places. Makes me wanna fly there. It’s so different from the main media reporting. I’ll stop watching and believing main media reporting on international news.
4680 m is 15,354 ft! That's higher than any mountain in the continental US, and only six peaks in Alaska top it. It's amazing that all those people weren't getting altitude sickness.
There must be some people who have altitude sickness. Plus you have seen people have oxigen tanks in their hands. Otherwise I believe more people would have problem
In fact, every day some tourists from southern China are carried down from the mountain with purple lips (altitude sickness) hahahahahaha, altitude is always fair
I watched so many China travel vlogs recently but yours gave a different vibe and love that you are so active and exploring the mountains and trails in China. It was fun to explore with you guys via your video!
I have to admit that China is not on my bucket list but you might have just changed my thinking on that! That region is stunning! Thank you for sharing about it!
China welcomes you! If you knew the range of landscapes and experiences China that had to offer, you would definitely put it on your bucket list several times over.
I fell in love with Yunnan few years ago when I travelled there. It’s just stunning and beautiful. You also did such amazing job making this video which can show the beauty of Yunnan.
The song that the guy was singing is called “追梦人” or “zhui meng ren”, which literally means dream chaser. The song was dedicated to a Chinese/Taiwanese female writer called Sanmao “三毛”,who was the first ever Chinese woman to live in the Sahara desert with her Spanish husband Jose during the 70s. She passed away in 1991, some says it’s her husband’s tragic death that led to her mental issues which eventually led to her death. She in a true hero in Chinese literature.
WOW! WOW! WOW! Just WOW! You have given me an appreciation for China that I never had before. What a incredible village. Reminds me of The Swiss Alps, Munich, New Mexico, The Grand Canyon, and the narrow streets full of shops like a village in the UK, Italy or Spain. Truly breathtaking, thank you for sharing it with us. IMHO this may have been your best video ever.
I have been there twenty years ago. I was stunned by the snow mountains and magnificent gorges. I could imagine how relaxing people were living in the old town. Coffee was not that popular at that time. Thanks for the recording ❤
Thank you so much for this BEAUTIFUL video! I was at one point crying just looking at the Beauty of the city! The culture and pride of the Naxi people. I’m amazed! 🌟👏❤️💐
I am so thankful that you two native Texans have opened up the vast and beautiful legacy of the Chinese people. I was fortunate enough to have learned from my father, a busy physician and good ol’ boy from east and west Texas, who, in his off time, studied the horticultural practices of a society claiming close inheritance from what nature shows them. Grace, mercy and honor always among their interactions with all of nature and its inhabitants. Of course I said all this without mention of governing bodies, just referring to the simple masses of humans. I haven’t any knowledge of how the Chinese rulers and religion fit into their respect for what nature displays to them. At any rate it is high time more people become aware of their significant contributions 😢to our world knowledge.
As a chinese living in UK, yunnan province is my favourite province in China, I never get bored of it, I can go back again and again. Thank you for uploading this beautiful video. As you mentioned breathtaking, speechless in a good way, stunning all the nice words you can discribe about this amazing place. A BIG Thank You again.
Holy crow! How stunningly amazing all of it is! Thirty-two minutes is hardly enough time to take it all in, but once again, you did a fabulous job giving us a glimpse. ❤❤
I agree..... pretty sure I could have watched hours and hours of video. An amazing place that I never knew I needed to see until this little peek. Thank you Nikki and Jason.

You too should go...visit...before it become too expensive !

police involved shooting incidents are quite rare, any of them will be breaking news across the entire country.

I’ve never been there, my wife did 20 years ago. She loved the place so much, she went back every year and bought a house there. She told me she wanted to live there when we retire. Unfortunately she passed away a few years ago, I sold the house and wonder if I ever want to visit there in my life time.
do come, you won't regret it
She must have wanted to share these view with you.
wellcome back

Tea grows in Puer, another place of Yunnan province, a couple of hundreds of kilometers south of Lijiang. When you take a flight to Kunming the capital of Yunnan, if you hop on a train going west, you end up in Lijiang. If you go south, you arrive in Xishuangbanna and Puer is along the way.
They all belong to Yunnan province, China. @@michelebushnik2874

Welcome such friendly foreign friends to visit China.
As a Chinese, I can tell you that China has an extremely safe environment, friendly people, countless natural beauty, historic sites, a long culture, and an endless variety of cuisines.
China is a treasure for all travel lovers!
So true!
中国人民热爱自己的祖国，热爱生活，友善，务实。中国人民很幸福，很安全。

@@ManwithNoName-t1o you weren‘t invited
人非聖賢孰能無過，但中國現在整體向好，經濟和人文素質文化都有很大進步。哪一個國家沒有過去，西方很多國家曾經在世界各地到處掠奪殖民吶！不也有崇洋媚外的人 睜眼瞎覺得他們最好，你只是單純反中並不是中國不好😒
@@ManwithNoName-t1o Mao Zedong had already passed away when I was born. Mao Zedong ruled China for 26 years, and China has a history of more than 3,000 years. I think Mao was a bastard.

This was awesome. I always believe as you travel and meet others it is harder to be angry and want to go to war. The Chinese people are beautiful thanks for showing the world. Their country is magnificent and more people should see it in person!

Welcome to China
In the military, I was fortunate enough to travel to almost 50 different countries. Your channel, and these China videos in particular, have confirmed my experience and belief that people are generally peaceful and friendly all over the world. Thanks for pointing this out everywhere you go.
People love peace,not war.
The more we travel the less bias we have. People on this planet, though have very different living status, but all just want to live their own peaceful life. Politicians made people believe everyone wants wars.
Not Americans lmao, I lived in the states for a decade, visited more than 50 cities or so, and met some of the worst people. You step on their lawn, they come out and draw their rifle. The local Tmobile stores and convenient stores clerks are working behind bulletproof glass. People get beaten up just because they "stared at people for more then 3 seconds" lol , I had to constantly check if I was being followed by black people when I was walking alone in Chicago or dwontown L.A, it was scary to go out after sunset especially being Asian, it was abserd.
Because chaos is a ladder. Of course not for the normal people, but only the really vey powerful ones are able to climb up the ladder. While the normal people? They become the 'ladder' itself. So the super powers can't help triggering chaos all over the world. They want to be always climbing up something.
In China, people are generally friendly ...ESPECIALLY if you speak the language as their English is basic, if at all. They'd go out of their way to assist and engage.
Thank you for showing us the "real China." Its insanely beautiful ❤️
Definitely not the China social media wants us westerners to see. Thank you for taking us along your adventure. I love love love Chinese food. Im adding this place to my bucket list.

Being from Pakistan, it sad that we dpn't know much about our neighboring country and this video truly opened my eyes. This is the China i desperately want to visit, the ancient towns, their history, civilization, culture, local cuisines, beautiful alleyways, and traditional attires. Truly a wonderful experience watching this.

@@achtungbaby2009Wrong, the peoples in this town are mostly ethnic Naji tribe.
@@achtungbaby2009that has nothing to do with the comment this gentleman has made. He simply wants to travel to China, plus not all Muslims follow strict religious rules. There's chicken, beef, vegetarian food available and he doesn't need a mosque to make his daily prayers. Maybe you should travel yourself to open your mind up to different people and cultures. Making assumptions about people simply from the place they come from is a problem Chinese people also face, have some consideration please.
Welcome bro 😊
Chinese people love Pakistan and its people.
I cannot believe how insanely beautiful that place is. It is mind-blowingly beautiful. You did an awesome job showcasing this wonderful city.
Crystal clear flowing river, canal & lake - beautiful & healthy world there.😊
just walk outside the gate that says "Lijiang World Heritage Site" and its pretty much a ghetto. The ghetto is reall China, the beautiful restored historic area is "fake" China. Yes, its a real historic city, but its a historic Disney World, it's tourist park.
As a Chinese, I hope you will stop spreading rumors. In fact, there are no slums in China. Moreover, we have more than 50 provinces in China, each of which is very rich, and there are more than 100,000 such scenic spots. I visit different scenery several times every year. I think foreign countries are not as good as I expected, and they are not safe.

Five years ago, I was in China and fell ill. I walked 10 minutes to the pharmacy at 1 a.m. to buy medicine. Last summer, I went to China again and ate too much for dinner and supper. I felt uncomfortable in my stomach and needed to buy medicine again. But this time, I didn’t have to go out to buy it myself. I bought it through the Meituan APP. After I paid, it was delivered to the hotel 20 minutes later. The hotel robot delivered it to my room. It was really convenient and safe.

I hiked Tiger Leaping Gorge in the summer of 2003 when I was backpacking around China by myself. Can’t believe that was 20 years ago! It was one of the sketchiest experiences of my life, but so worth it! After hiking for hours, I took a tiny little boat/raft from one side of the raging gorge to the other. We had to squat down so we didn’t throw off the balance of the raft! I had met a very friendly Chinese couple in Lijiang who ended up doing the hike with me. What an incredible/thrilling experience that I’ll never forget!
After 20 years of development, China has undergone significant changes compared to 2003. Welcome back to take a look
这20年中国有非常大非常大的变化，欢迎再来！
haha I was there too in 2003, summer holidays!
I was there in 2006, also backpacking by myself! 😀It changed a lot, but Lijiang was already "Disneylandish" 20 years ago. I prefer it more authentic. The more up and north you go, the less tourists ;-) (Deqen and along the burmese border).

I'm just watching this a month after its posting, but I must say that there needs to be a 'love' button. 'Like' is not strong enough to describe the enjoyment of this video. So much like an amazing documentary. Well done!
Your personal tour of China was amazing, so beautiful, eye opening and different from what we Westerners general see. What a groovy experience for you two and of course, for us. Stay true to your dreams.

Agreed!
whats wrong with his words? are u stuck?@@fs5775
I still think that Serpentza does a better job r job of expressing China’s beauty.
That was amazing: one of your best films yet, and it's not just the places (stunning as they are); You guys do travel logs better than absolutely anyone, even on network or cable TV covering not just the attractions but the underlying issues like history, language and culture, plus you do it with zero resouces (whilst they have dozens of camera and sound men, key grips researchers, production assitants etc. ) and because you're paying for stuff yourselves, you keep it real as per time and money, and yet the camerawork, the editing, the sound... absolutely perfect! I hope that, even when you get on your boat and on the ocean, you won't just do beaches and coves, and will still, ocasionally, do more of this stuff because you are just too damn good at it not to!
I totally agree. Love this channel more than anything else on RUclips
And the song at 7:46 as well! I just copy and paste my separate comment here: That song is called "The Dream Chaser", written by the legendary LO Ta-yu for the legendary writer, SAN Mao! Jason and Nikki may not know the Chinese lyrics, but the song is so fitting in this video, like it is partly written for them, for this travel vlog in this heavenly place. 天造地设！
Absolutely beautiful video! The first temperature on the mountain when you got off the gaundila was the same as it was in Dallas today, 23° and feels like 11°, with light snow on the ground. Can't wait for ya'll to be on your new boat and back on the water. Safe travels!

No one can resist Yunnan; you won't find a place like this anywhere else on the planet. It is a land where tropical rainforests and snow-capped mountains coexist, where coconuts and apples are both cultivated. It boasts priceless sunshine and air, serves as the world's earliest tea-producing region, and is also the newest coffee-producing area. Additionally, Yunnan is home to Asia's largest flower cultivation base and wholesale market, housing half of China's plant species.
Culturally, there are 25 ethnic minorities along with their unique civilizations. Some still preserve pictographic writing systems and matrilineal social customs.
Yunnan even has its own "sea" - a vast and beautiful lake that locals call "Erhai (Er Sea)." And indeed, it is fitting, as every winter, seagulls from Siberia fly here to spend the cold months. They enjoy it so much that they stay longer with each passing year.
中国人希望你告诉你的朋友，你看到的真实的中国，谢谢

Tourism does keep these gems alive, even if a little less authentic, they live and traditions survive and change modernity by the city people experiencing another way of life. So all in all, very much a positive, imo.

"It'll change your perspective on everything." I absolutely agree - the most valuable thing I got from my time in the US military is having gone to multiple countries. I was not your typical US serviceman, I was in the habit of researching where we were going (a little more time consuming in the 1960s) and staying away from the bars and brothels, instead mingling with the locals (as much as we were allowed to) and learning how similar we all are. I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything! Fantastic episode, thank you for letting us tag along!
即使你最好的朋友也不喜欢你全副武装开着坦克去拜访他。请坐邮轮来而不是免费的战舰，中国的大门永远为你敞开，欢迎你脱掉满身军事装备的善良美国人。❤
好可惜，我们中国真羡慕日本和韩国，有我们中国没有的美军😂
Greetings from Australia! I have seen many personal vlog and after editing, your trip and adventure to Yunnan is literally 10x better than any others. I am impressed with the dubbing and the special mention to the Yunnan location (beautiful lifestyle scenery, hiking, colourful night lighting). It was so mesmerisingly beautiful. I hope you can find more similar places. Makes me wanna fly there. It’s so different from the main media reporting. I’ll stop watching and believing main media reporting on international news.
You should watch videos by Serpentza! He does an amazing job showing China’s beauty.
Thank you for showing respect to locals and making video in such a professional way! ❤
🥰 Thanks for the love.
I keep reading the comment, “I CRIED”…. glad to hear it’s not just me! THANK YOU Jason and Nikki! Spectacular, beautiful, soul inspiring!❤❤❤
4680 m is 15,354 ft! That's higher than any mountain in the continental US, and only six peaks in Alaska top it. It's amazing that all those people weren't getting altitude sickness.
for a short while should be ok, the bottom of mountain about 2000 meters
4680m is the trail end , the top is 5596m .
There must be some people who have altitude sickness. Plus you have seen people have oxigen tanks in their hands. Otherwise I believe more people would have problem
There are vomit sinks along the walkway for people who experience altitude sickness. Also, many sellers of oxygen bottles.
In fact, every day some tourists from southern China are carried down from the mountain with purple lips (altitude sickness) hahahahahaha, altitude is always fair
I watched so many China travel vlogs recently but yours gave a different vibe and love that you are so active and exploring the mountains and trails in China. It was fun to explore with you guys via your video!
This little city is like a living fairy tale! It was magic!
丽江市面积大于北京
@@李梅烧烤 Beijing is very small and the work pace is fast. It's not as fun as Chengdu and Yunnanwhere life is comfortable
I’ve always wanted to visit China and now I want to go even more…great video!
come! now borders are open and visa policies are easier ;)
welcome🎉
Had your boat been ready on time, you might have missed this wonderful place. Some of life's detours are a blessing.
Yes. No detour, no chance to grow.
as someone from Yunnan now living in Cali I really appreciate your visit to my hometown! Remind me of so many good memories. again welcome!
I didn't want the video to end!! Speechless! The beauty! The culture! ❤💯
@@fs5775 Bot says what?
亲自来中国玩啊❤
Don't need to talk to trash
以前我在中國生活時，每當我心情不好的時候，我会去丽江，在哪裡看美麗的風景和吃當地美食。心情瞬間變好！我很喜歡雲南，丽江有種魔力，就是让我思念🥰
想念拉市海的下午后
香港还是台湾的？
我老婆说她在云南看了一次百人敲鼓，看完了被震撼的哭了，仿佛看到了她的今生和来世。
Lijiang good
I have to admit that China is not on my bucket list but you might have just changed my thinking on that! That region is stunning! Thank you for sharing about it!
China welcomes you! If you knew the range of landscapes and experiences China that had to offer, you would definitely put it on your bucket list several times over.
中国人善良热情！欢迎您来中国旅游！还有非常多的美景！
云南省很大很美，除了视频中的丽江还有很多地方值得去，比如云南的高黎共山
you should come and then you will know the truth that is absolutely different from you hearing form the western media.
Thank you for saying that. China is large and diverse. There's always stuff that can surprise you.
I fell in love with Yunnan few years ago when I travelled there. It’s just stunning and beautiful. You also did such amazing job making this video which can show the beauty of Yunnan.
The song that the guy was singing is called “追梦人” or “zhui meng ren”, which literally means dream chaser. The song was dedicated to a Chinese/Taiwanese female writer called Sanmao “三毛”,who was the first ever Chinese woman to live in the Sahara desert with her Spanish husband Jose during the 70s. She passed away in 1991, some says it’s her husband’s tragic death that led to her mental issues which eventually led to her death. She in a true hero in Chinese literature.
I think the translation 'Dream Seeker' I am perfer than 'Dream Chaser'.
Thank you for the song name! It's beautiful

就在找你这条评论，这首歌是我小时候看过的一部武侠片的主题曲，雪山飞狐。很怀念的旋律……
WOW! WOW! WOW! Just WOW! You have given me an appreciation for China that I never had before. What a incredible village. Reminds me of The Swiss Alps, Munich, New Mexico, The Grand Canyon, and the narrow streets full of shops like a village in the UK, Italy or Spain. Truly breathtaking, thank you for sharing it with us. IMHO this may have been your best video ever.
I have been there twenty years ago. I was stunned by the snow mountains and magnificent gorges. I could imagine how relaxing people were living in the old town. Coffee was not that popular at that time. Thanks for the recording ❤
the number of view proves how popular of this video! That reflects truly amazing place to visit, everyone can feel the joy from the clip. amazing!!
Thank you so much for this BEAUTIFUL video! I was at one point crying just looking at the Beauty of the city! The culture and pride of the Naxi people. I’m amazed! 🌟👏❤️💐
I cried in in the last two as well! I had no idea!!!!
I am so thankful that you two native Texans have opened up the vast and beautiful legacy of the Chinese people. I was fortunate enough to have learned from my father, a busy physician and good ol’ boy from east and west Texas, who, in his off time, studied the horticultural practices of a society claiming close inheritance from what nature shows them. Grace, mercy and honor always among their interactions with all of nature and its inhabitants. Of course I said all this without mention of governing bodies, just referring to the simple masses of humans. I haven’t any knowledge of how the Chinese rulers and religion fit into their respect for what nature displays to them. At any rate it is high time more people become aware of their significant contributions 😢to our world knowledge.
As a chinese living in UK, yunnan province is my favourite province in China, I never get bored of it, I can go back again and again. Thank you for uploading this beautiful video. As you mentioned breathtaking, speechless in a good way, stunning all the nice words you can discribe about this amazing place. A BIG Thank You again.
Good on YOU Mate!-love for the grasses of your country, I have felt that, I and many of us here ( I bet) get that.
云南宜居，但不适合工作
Your best episode ever! A balance between tourism and continuation of this lovely culture.
Thanks!
Thanks for your support❣❣
Holy crow! How stunningly amazing all of it is! Thirty-two minutes is hardly enough time to take it all in, but once again, you did a fabulous job giving us a glimpse. ❤❤
I agree..... pretty sure I could have watched hours and hours of video. An amazing place that I never knew I needed to see until this little peek. Thank you Nikki and Jason.
Don't just watch videos, go and immerse yourself in all these beautiful places
