Both of you are so lucky that you are so well treated by the Chinese in China. Even buying things they charge you local prices plus free gifts. In Indja, I was charged 2 or 3 times higher than the locals for almost everything.
Traveling from KungMing, DaLi and then LiJiang is a gradual let down because it became repetitive. The other way around will be like a fresh breath of air!
Every Chinese is taught to be nice and Polite to guests. Almost every Chinese knows about What Confucius has said： it’s such a pleasure to have a guest from afar.😊 hope you enjoy your stay here.

23:45, what the lady offered to you are indeed dried dates from Xinjiang. Fruits from Xinjiang are famous for their sweetness and size. You should visit Xinjiang sometime. It has amazing cities like Urumqi and Kashgar. It also has super scenic nature/wild west as beautiful as Switzerland or Irish countryside. And it’s unbelievable food and cuisine! Those who have not been to China has no idea how huge and diverse China is. 😊

The Chinese are as friendly to you as the Pakistanis are friendly to the Chinese. But, unfortunately, there are times when these friendships are exploited maliciously. A few years ago when there was no epidemic South Koreans traveled to Pakistan and lied to Pakistanis that they were Chinese and then cheated them out of food and drink, this kind of behavior is very bad. Pakistanis can't tell Chinese or Koreans based on their skin color, and Chinese can't tell Germans or Americans based on their skin color. So, I hope that no matter what, people will not take advantage of this goodwill to do bad things. I hope this world is united and friendly respecting and tolerating each other.Make the world a better place.🙂
Chinese hospitality is renowned for its warmth and generosity. Traditional Chinese culture places a high value on treating guests with respect and making them feel welcome (THIS IS THE TRUTH)
Do you know why I love watching your videos?Other travel RUclipsrs have multiple camera positions and even drones, but they don't have the infectious and sincere smiles of Naomi
The Chinese-date is produced in Xinjiang. Xinjiang has the best Chinese-date in China. There are also many delicious fruits and meat food in Xinjiang. This season is very suitable to travel to Xinjiang, I highly recommend you to visit.

Most Chinese people are friendly and hard working. Meanwhile, I think the governing system is great too. Yes, the government is not perfect, but they built an orderly world, great infrastructures, safe place for the people. That's a real people's government.
Meanwhile, the country that has been demonizing China is trying its very best to profiteer from arms sales by stirring conflicts and confrontations throughout the entire world.
😇1 small tip for english speakers , when you want to tell the locals that you want to use wechat pay ,you can say the chinese version "wei xin"(pronounce like "way shin") rather than "wechat" , those who don't speak english may not understand what "wechat" is.

I adore china. I want to go back there. I missed it when I got back home. I missed the people. They truly are a genuine loving people. China you are amazing for that. And thank you so much for showing love to foreign people when we come to visit your beautiful country. I love it. I am coming back. I need the people. They truly are awesome. We went into the mountains in china before we went to the fourth highest waterfall there . We are proper traditional Chinese food which was amazing. And they cooked it while we waited. The ladies there are so special. Love you all
You are great and quite famous in China. Many people in China watch your videos. You could consider creating a Chinese video account, such as on Bilibili.
Jin is 500g. Catty is the old English name for Jin back during colonial days, before China went metric. A catty is roughly 600g (604.78982g). Catty is still used somewhat around SE Asia. The smaller unit of Jin is Liang, and there's 10 Liang to 1 Jin. The smaller unit of Catty/Jin is also Liang in Chinese, but Tael in English. there's 16 Taels to 1 Catty, and 1 Tael is roughly 37.7994g, or 1/16th of 604.8g. If you are in Hong Kong, roast meat shops, wet markets, fruit shops, mostly still use Catty/Tael and we still call it Jin/Liang, which can be confusing for Mainlanders coming to shop.
It only takes an Irish to be bold enough to speak up for the World, I grew up in America and I know, the Irish are feisty and will speak up, just like Scarlet O’Hara.
You two feel welcomed because youselves are very positive, polite and respectful people. In China we say "仁者见仁"，which means good people can discover goodness in their live👍
Chinese Chess player said "welcome" to you!! Xiang Qi (Elephant Chess) quite similar to International Chess, but the pieces are divided into offensive and purely defensive pieces (can't cross the border river) the moves of pawns, queens and kings are different. The "elephant" moves similar to Bishop but can't cross border. No queen but there are two "Guns"!! The Horses move just as Knights.
I can't thank you enough for showing various sides of China, I believe most Chinese, including myself, haven't been to this many places in China. Very fascinating and educational.
The friendliness of the Chinese is extraordinary. As long as you are a friendly person, you will feel the extraordinary hospitality of the Chinese in China! Especially for foreign friends who come to China for tourism! Looking forward to your new adventure videos in China

Luke I just became your subscriber. You nailed it by saying China is demonized. Keep exploring China. I hope I can follow your footsteps one day. Safe travels my friend
Good morning, Luke and Naomi. My family and I live in Kunming, and Dali is where I grew up. I have been working in Lijiang all June and I am a carpenter. It's very interesting to see the place where I live and work through your lenses. I can feel your politeness and enthusiasm. You are worth my subscription, and I will continue to follow your videos. Keep up the good work! have fun! (I use Google Translate)
I think you two can save photos of your passports in your phone in case of some urgent situation. If you forget bringing passports by hand while needed, you can just show them on the phone to the people who ask for them. In my experience, it works in most of the situation in China such as to buy a ticket.
In this ugly and unhappy world you two are a shining light. The best this about this great video that takes the cake is Naomi's infectious laugh in excitement and bewilderment at being given a load of dried red dates by the wonderful and hospitable lady, without charge. Luke is great as usual. Keep it going.
Here are some popular hiking routes in Yunnan in case you need them: 虎跳峡Hutiaoxia, Yubeng雨崩, Nanjiluo南极洛, and Yulong Snow Mountain玉龙雪山. Yunnan also has the Stone Forest, sand dunes, snowy mountains, and grasslands. Please explore more areas❤
Recommend a place, Longhua in Yibin, Sichuan. It is a place that has not been discovered yet. The world's largest standing Buddha is in this place. It is ancient but not very remote. It is worth a visit for you!
Your video is always always a treat! 19:10 The presence of foreign franchises like Starbucks, McDonalds and KFC shows that the Chinese gov't is not discriminating against foreign businesses. It's a good thing I reckon. I won't comment about the food quality though. 39:50 The board game is Chinese chess. King(=general), rook, knight and pawn moves the same way. The other pieces moves differently.
14:39 the pancake you bought is actually from Henan Province, the owner she has a noticable HeNan accent. Li jiang is an typical tourist city and Yunnan has lots of Natural sites you could go which will be more impressive to see. Look forward to meet you in Beijing, if you plan to come!
Another very interesting video thanks guys keep the China videos coming, great to see you outside the popular areas we have been to Beijing and we were extremely impressed and want return sometime 😊🇦🇺
The broad game the local men are playing is Chinese chess, it is usually presented with two guys seating and playing while a bunch of other guys standing and watching. Withhout the audiences it is not a perfect chess game. It's an common activity for the retiered. Also there is an old Chinese saying "A true gentleman keep silence while watching a chess game", but people playing chess in the public area kinda ignore this from time to time, they just enjoy the vibe.😂
Old folks are playing Chinese Chess. Also what the lady gave you are dried red dates. You can buy them at your local chinatown, good for making tea or soup with meat. Eating these dates can keep you young.........that what our Chinese believe.😀
The indigenous people living in this area is Naxi, a minority ethnic group. Their civilization has a long history and rich culture. At 42:23, carvings on the stone slab in front of the pavilion has some Naxi characters. You may have encountered some Naxi people when you were watching the brick carriers.
Luke, no need to worry too much about all these American brands like Starbucks in China. From what I understand, local brands are really taking over and becoming well established. In fact they're much more competitive than US brands now because they better understand the customer and the market. They're Chinese after all! 🇨🇳👍❤
@@寒山居士 Generally, adults will add "lao (old)" before their surnames to show intimacy to each other. Similarly, adults will add "xiao (little)" before children's surnames.
People from Yunnan have a real passion for mushrooms, using various types to create an endless array of dishes. Although they frequently come across cases of mushroom poisoning, they eagerly venture into trying more varieties as soon as they recover from the hospital.That's crazy！take care of your stomach and wish you a pleasant journey.
A few years ago, I saw a poor German guy on YT who hitchhiked from Pakistan to China and planned to go camping in the city. Unexpectedly, the hitchhiking driver opened a hotel for him and paid for the room, which surprised the blogger greatly. In fact, this is very normal in China. The hospitality and friendliness of Chinese people are beyond the understanding of the West, but they are always demonized.
The red dates are very good for health. And u can also put it in the hot water to make a red date tea which our Chinese usually do. Some time when we feel cold or uncomfortable, we put ginger and red dates and brown sugar in hot water and drink it. Its very helpful for recovery. By the way, the XINJIANG red dates are the best in China.
The elderly gentlemen in the park were playing Chinese chess. They said, "you are welcomed". Luke and Naomi are so nice and tolerant. In contrary, the Aussie couple, who went to Xizang and Kash, had tried to make themselves sound neutral, but instead, gave a bit of arrogant comment, Love this channel.
One tip if a food stall capture your attention and you do not know what to get. Ask for the most popular item. 12:05 After, you paid, the payment system (through speakers) told her the amount she received. If you understand Chinese, that's what you look out for a successful transaction. 28:34 The robot literally said film me so that more will know about me 😬 35:55 The dad wants them to practice their English with you. I think she was too shy 39:51 The old dude says "Welcome" and is playing Chinese Chess Thanks for the video, took me back 2 months ago when I visited Yunnan.
Love from China. I enjoy your video very much. I'm very grateful for your kindness and courtesy. You are the sweetest foreign tourist I have ever seen. May God bless you both.
Naomi guess it right, it's dried date the girl said from Xinjiang. Not every tourist is so lucky like both you to have met such nice local to offer you fruit free.
HolY ShEEiT... I'm blown away by your posts on China... from a well-travelled guy from Huntington Beach, CA and Kona/Hilo, Hawaii... You both are so GREAT. See you at 1 Million subscribers...
I am looking at this on my PC Monitor. A 55-inch Hisense TV on RUclips running at 4K. Your hair looks beautiful. And the surrounding details are amazing. Thank you for your video. From the United Kingdom.
Glad to hear that you will hike the tiger leaping gorge which I recommended in your last video. My family visited there two times seventeen years ago and five years ago. Two elements are important in Chinese society and culture, rivers and mountains. Most ancient cities and towns are near the rivers, and many ancient legends and histories relate famous mountains. Try to visit them, and you will lose the more weight cumulated by Chinese delicious foods.😅
Hi! If the park you are talking about is Black Dragon Pool Park（黑龙潭公园），Actually, you don't need the admission fee from 50 yuan. It's free.50 yuan is a voluntary maintenance fee for the ancient city, similar to public welfare.Maybe someone will tell you to pay, but in fact, you don't need it. This is a free park opened by the government. Believe me, I live in Lijiang and just went there two days ago.🎉🎉Hope to meet you in Lijiang! These days are no longer rainy season, there will be good scenery! Although there are many tourists😂
Hi Luke, I'm a big fan of yours and I really enjoy your videos. I'd love to invite you to visit my hometown, Xishuangbanna, China. It's a stunning border town with lots to see and do. If you ever come, I'd be happy to show you around and try some local cuisine.
social stability and harmony in china ,each video does not need police’s maintenance,very suitable for foreign video bloggers ,I am very comfortable to enjoy your videos
Chinese people are very hospitable, they will treat guests from afar with great hospitality, give you food, and offer you drinks. If you are a friendly person, Chinese people will not be stingy. But if you are a mean person with bad intentions, people will not treat you kindly.
You guys are staying in Lijiang. If you have more time, I highly recommend you go to Yubeng Village, a small town of Diqing City (nearby city of Lijiang), which is one of the most picturesque place in China.
Welcome to Yunnan! Though I am a native Yunnan Ren，never visited the place. Iiveing in the states for the past 3 decades, your video brings me back the memories of my beautiful hometown … thank you❤

全人类都是同一个物种，无论那个国家民族每个人身上都有善良的光芒，世界上任何一个国家90%以上的普通大众都是友好的。

女生白天敢一个人去印度稍微离开市中心的地方逛逛吗，别说印度了你晚上赶去伦敦那几个著名的骚乱区吗，90%的普通人是善良的纯属鬼话，中国人好是因为我们接受的教育好，社会治理好，传统文化好而不是因为别的什么，一百年前中国比印度危险
@yufeiwu-g1p 你说对了，他们的文化就不是好客知道礼节的。印度人出了名的贪小便宜出尔反尔。这个跟印度人做生意的中国人深有体会，这个在中国穷的时候，中国人可不这样。这个就是他们的整个文化造成的。所以他们即使有文化了，依然不会像中国人那样友好的。（其实你看印度官方怎么坑外商就知道了，他们教育肯定不低）

Good morning, Luke and Naomi. My family and I live in Kunming, and Dali is where I grew up. I have been working in Lijiang all June and I am a carpenter. It's very interesting to see the place where I live and work through your lenses. I can feel your politeness and enthusiasm. You are worth my subscription, and I will continue to follow your videos. Keep up the good work! have fun! (I use Google Translate)
To be honest, I think Xinjiang is more beautiful than Switzerland.
瑞士也不错，新疆太大了
你的感觉是对的
嗯嗯！不能这么说，都好！但是新疆更好🎉🎉🎉
@@张先生-f3m 但是瑞士太贵了🤣
Agree
I think you two can save photos of your passports in your phone in case of some urgent situation. If you forget bringing passports by hand while needed, you can just show them on the phone to the people who ask for them. In my experience, it works in most of the situation in China such as to buy a ticket.
Liked before watching. 😅
In this ugly and unhappy world you two are a shining light. The best this about this great video that takes the cake is Naomi's infectious laugh in excitement and bewilderment at being given a load of dried red dates by the wonderful and hospitable lady, without charge. Luke is great as usual. Keep it going.
Here are some popular hiking routes in Yunnan in case you need them: 虎跳峡Hutiaoxia, Yubeng雨崩, Nanjiluo南极洛, and Yulong Snow Mountain玉龙雪山. Yunnan also has the Stone Forest, sand dunes, snowy mountains, and grasslands. Please explore more areas❤
I wish you a safe journey and a smooth trip!
Recommend a place, Longhua in Yibin, Sichuan. It is a place that has not been discovered yet. The world's largest standing Buddha is in this place. It is ancient but not very remote. It is worth a visit for you!
Your video is always always a treat!
19:10 The presence of foreign franchises like Starbucks, McDonalds and KFC shows that the Chinese gov't is not discriminating against foreign businesses. It's a good thing I reckon. I won't comment about the food quality though.
39:50 The board game is Chinese chess. King(=general), rook, knight and pawn moves the same way. The other pieces moves differently.
两位有心了，特地背着敞口竹篓逛街以示安全。😂
14:39 the pancake you bought is actually from Henan Province, the owner she has a noticable HeNan accent. Li jiang is an typical tourist city and Yunnan has lots of Natural sites you could go which will be more impressive to see. Look forward to meet you in Beijing, if you plan to come!
and starbucks actually uses coffee beans from Yunnan
@@sunxu528Yes
Another very interesting video thanks guys keep the China videos coming, great to see you outside the popular areas we have been to Beijing and we were extremely impressed and want return sometime 😊🇦🇺
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching
Morning
Is glad to see you upload video ❤❤
The broad game the local men are playing is Chinese chess, it is usually presented with two guys seating and playing while a bunch of other guys standing and watching. Withhout the audiences it is not a perfect chess game. It's an common activity for the retiered. Also there is an old Chinese saying "A true gentleman keep silence while watching a chess game", but people playing chess in the public area kinda ignore this from time to time, they just enjoy the vibe.😂
🎉🎉l like you video
Fruit is usually much cheaper than meat in China. The price is mutton > beef > pork > chicken. Hope it will be helpful to your future shopping ❤️

Old folks are playing Chinese Chess. Also what the lady gave you are dried red dates. You can buy them at your local chinatown, good for making tea or soup with meat. Eating these dates can keep you young.........that what our Chinese believe.😀
thank you for sharing your trip !
Thumbs up before watching！👍
You're the best!
The indigenous people living in this area is Naxi, a minority ethnic group. Their civilization has a long history and rich culture. At 42:23, carvings on the stone slab in front of the pavilion has some Naxi characters. You may have encountered some Naxi people when you were watching the brick carriers.
Luke, no need to worry too much about all these American brands like Starbucks in China. From what I understand, local brands are really taking over and becoming well established. In fact they're much more competitive than US brands now because they better understand the customer and the market. They're Chinese after all! 🇨🇳👍❤
Do you guys know that foreigners are called 'Lao wai 老外' in Chinese🤭Yeah most people are friendly and really willing to help
Lao Wei, Lao meaning "old", Wei meaning "outside", so Old Outside meaning Foreign Person or Foreigner.
@@寒山居士 Lao approximately means dear.
Yes, this word also has some “close” meanings.
@@寒山居士 Generally, adults will add "lao (old)" before their surnames to show intimacy to each other. Similarly, adults will add "xiao (little)" before children's surnames.
She gave you red dates from Xinjiang, which is far away.
Actually not very far from lijiang. There are many people from Xinjiang lived in lijiang.
they are called jujubes in the west

People from Yunnan have a real passion for mushrooms, using various types to create an endless array of dishes. Although they frequently come across cases of mushroom poisoning, they eagerly venture into trying more varieties as soon as they recover from the hospital.That's crazy！take care of your stomach and wish you a pleasant journey.
往往中毒之后怀疑自己没烧熟，出院之后，重新烧了吃，然后再次去医院解毒……
The game is Chinese Chess Game, many Chinese older people play the Chess Game across the country.
A few years ago, I saw a poor German guy on YT who hitchhiked from Pakistan to China and planned to go camping in the city. Unexpectedly, the hitchhiking driver opened a hotel for him and paid for the room, which surprised the blogger greatly. In fact, this is very normal in China. The hospitality and friendliness of Chinese people are beyond the understanding of the West, but they are always demonized.
这并不是因为热情好客，这种做法是因为同情，当然，我们也很热情好客，中国之前全部人民都很穷，现在一部分人生活好了起来，我们的长辈都知道贫穷的感受，所以教导我们给与这些人们力所能及的帮助，同情、乐于助人跟好客都是好的词汇，不过，意思不同
在德国游客的视频下，以中国人的立场，论贫穷/可怜的德国人，实在不同寻常。
中国人善良友好，（西方）媒体不会有异议。过去几十年中，来华旅游者说的几乎都是：善良的人们，美丽的地方
生活在云南的人生活压力小精神愉悦，真的好容易看到可爱的人就给他们一堆东西😊❤
The red dates are very good for health. And u can also put it in the hot water to make a red date tea which our Chinese usually do. Some time when we feel cold or uncomfortable, we put ginger and red dates and brown sugar in hot water and drink it. Its very helpful for recovery. By the way, the XINJIANG red dates are the best in China.

thank you so much for making a video about China. I enjoy your videos so much.
The elderly gentlemen in the park were playing Chinese chess. They said, "you are welcomed". Luke and Naomi are so nice and tolerant. In contrary, the Aussie couple, who went to Xizang and Kash, had tried to make themselves sound neutral, but instead, gave a bit of arrogant comment, Love this channel.
One tip if a food stall capture your attention and you do not know what to get. Ask for the most popular item.
12:05 After, you paid, the payment system (through speakers) told her the amount she received. If you understand Chinese, that's what you look out for a successful transaction.
28:34 The robot literally said film me so that more will know about me 😬
35:55 The dad wants them to practice their English with you. I think she was too shy
39:51 The old dude says "Welcome" and is playing Chinese Chess
Thanks for the video, took me back 2 months ago when I visited Yunnan.
The old uncles were playing Chinese chess. The old man was saying, Welcome.... Welcome while concentrating..... LOL
This video has been played 2.1 million times on the China version of RUclips.We love watching your videos and hope to have a good time.❤❤🎉
Love from China. I enjoy your video very much. I'm very grateful for your kindness and courtesy. You are the sweetest foreign tourist I have ever seen. May God bless you both.
Naomi guess it right, it's dried date the girl said from Xinjiang. Not every tourist is so lucky like both you to have met such nice local to offer you fruit free.
HolY ShEEiT... I'm blown away by your posts on China... from a well-travelled guy from Huntington Beach, CA and Kona/Hilo, Hawaii... You both are so GREAT. See you at 1 Million subscribers...
I am looking at this on my PC Monitor. A 55-inch Hisense TV on RUclips running at 4K. Your hair looks beautiful. And the surrounding details are amazing. Thank you for your video. From the United Kingdom.
老外用海信看老外游玩中国😄
海信还是很牛逼的
Glad to hear that you will hike the tiger leaping gorge which I recommended in your last video. My family visited there two times seventeen years ago and five years ago.
Two elements are important in Chinese society and culture, rivers and mountains. Most ancient cities and towns are near the rivers, and many ancient legends and histories relate famous mountains. Try to visit them, and you will lose the more weight cumulated by Chinese delicious foods.😅
Hi! If the park you are talking about is Black Dragon Pool Park（黑龙潭公园），Actually, you don't need the admission fee from 50 yuan. It's free.50 yuan is a voluntary maintenance fee for the ancient city, similar to public welfare.Maybe someone will tell you to pay, but in fact, you don't need it. This is a free park opened by the government. Believe me, I live in Lijiang and just went there two days ago.🎉🎉Hope to meet you in Lijiang! These days are no longer rainy season, there will be good scenery! Although there are many tourists😂
Hi Luke, I'm a big fan of yours and I really enjoy your videos. I'd love to invite you to visit my hometown, Xishuangbanna, China. It's a stunning border town with lots to see and do. If you ever come, I'd be happy to show you around and try some local cuisine.
You really like staying in market and try local food!
social stability and harmony in china ,each video does not need police’s maintenance,very suitable for foreign video bloggers ,I am very comfortable to enjoy your videos
Chinese people are very hospitable, they will treat guests from afar with great hospitality, give you food, and offer you drinks. If you are a friendly person, Chinese people will not be stingy. But if you are a mean person with bad intentions, people will not treat you kindly.
Looking forward to your new trip in ShanDong🥰
You should go to Shanxi because there are more ancient Chinese buildings in Shanxi

You guys are staying in Lijiang. If you have more time, I highly recommend you go to Yubeng Village, a small town of Diqing City (nearby city of Lijiang), which is one of the most picturesque place in China.

Welcome to Yunnan! Though I am a native Yunnan Ren，never visited the place. Iiveing in the states for the past 3 decades, your video brings me back the memories of my beautiful hometown … thank you❤
Yunnan Ren, Ren meaning Person, Yunnan your are well aware. So Yunnan Ren meaning Yunnan Person.
那你为什么不回来呢？😢
Because China has no democracy and no freedom
The gentlemen at the end of your video were playing Chinese Chess, in many ways similar to but also different from Western Chess. Great video again. Keep it up! 👍
Thank you ❤️
Such nice video, I love Naomi's laughing, it also makes me laugh out😆😆

FYI you can buy 1kg of those xinjiang jujubes for about $40 USD here 😂 that’s crazy!!! Thank you for showing the country in such a positive light.
The guy playing chess said a few words of welcome
