Massive congratulations for cramming in so much history and culture in less than 10 minutes. More of this style of video please. Well done Blondie in China.
Most foreign travel vlog about China is superficial but your’s are deep, you really have to know China and love the culture, very impressive, my respect to u
you think disbelief is freedom?you disbelief your friends,disbelief your family,disbelief your goverment. you think that is freedom?I think that is a bad world
@@qilai844 you didn't get it. What it means is that I respect whatever faith you put on yourself, but you need to respect what others choose to believe (or not to believe), in other words, no one should impose their own ideology onto others. If you look around, not many 教 can be said like that.
I m not religious but it's fine if my friends believe in Jesus or Allah...of course if they want to preach their religions to me. That's intolerable. I think that's what this comment is about.
However, the real situation currently is that it is illegal for people under 18 to enter churches in China, even if they are sent to Sunday schools or Youth Groups by their parents. Those who teach these children the gospel commit the crime of competing against 'You Know Who' for children's minds.
My relatives live in Quanzhou, and I'm very familiar with the streets and culture of Quanzhou; however I never had the chance and creativity to make an educational vlog like this. Thanks for sharing Quanzhou to the world!! also fun fact, many overseas Chinese in the Southeast Asia (like me) trace our ancestors back to Fujian particularly Quanzhou, and most of these Chinese are indeed businesspeople!
I love Quanzhou I've been there last year with an exchange program in my city (Neustadt an der Weinstraße) which is the german partner city of Quanzhou And I absolutely loved it It's so vibrant and full of culture and history On every corner there is something new to discover I'm so happy you made this vlog, so that people can see this forgotten gem And everyone is so kind Just an amazing place, I have fond memories of! Go visit!!!
My father is from Quanzhou, and I always love visiting his hometown. Your video was like a walk down memory lane, as I too walked past the Qingjing Mosque, Guangdi Temple and Kaiyuan Temple with my dad. The Maritime Museum is truly an eye-opener to see how diverse a society Quanzhou was a long time ago. Thank you so much for sharing a video on the history and sights of Quanzhou! 🙏🏼
As a Chinese born in Quanzhou, but now live in Germany. I've learned Quanzhou more in this 10 minutes video. Thank you Amy. I'd like to bring one fun fact that the pronunciation tea from various counties around the world came from Quanzhou where local dialect call it "Tjie" (Minnan, Hokkien,闽南语), while in Mandarin Chinese it is called "Cha".
OMG, Amy it is such a positive video of Quanzhou. Thank you as I am sure the world can learnt from the people who have lived in Quanzhou in ancient time and now. Keep the videos coming. Thank you.
Amazing video, Thank you Amy. Quanzhou is my hometown. I watched this video with my two young boys who were born in Australia. I couldn't introduce my hometown to them any better. In fact, it makes me feel proud again of my hometown after living away from it for so long.
great video, It was so interesting to see so many religions blended in one area like that. The Dehua was so beautiful and to see that it can survive over such a long period of time is a true testament to its quality. The tea looked so refreshing 👍
Chinese just pick up a piece of Taoism a piece of Buddhism a piece of Christianity a piece of Islam and so on, then put all of them together. No fight 😉
As a Chinese, I even don't know about these histories and cultures of my own country, which really makes me ashamed. I have to say thank you Blondie. Thank you for introducing and broadcasting our culture to the people all over the world. Really hope to see more videos like this. Thank you.
This vid is great. I went to Quanzhou last week and I love it so much. The cultural heritage, the weather, and the food (especially the street food) there are great. The museum in ur video is my personal favourite among the three museums I’ve been to. I’ll definitely go there again and plan more time on the suburbs instead of city.
it's amazing that our college teacher used this video to introduce Quanzhou's culture. When I saw Amy on the screen, I was shocked and happy to see you and your video in my classroom. Nice introduction!
Hi Amy, bing watching some of your past content I haven't seen. Your charisma, professionalism, and talent for storytelling and educating the modern public screams so loudly!! Thanks for letting us live vicariously through you and enriching our lives. The world is clearly a better place with you!!🙏♥️💪👍😎
I've been binge-watching your videos over the last few days, and really enjoying them! You are a very talented presenter, and your videos are highly professional. You are to be commended. I lived in China for the last six years until August last year, and I'm now back in Melbourne, but your videos are helping me vicariously tour the many places in China I never got to see.
Another truly brilliant video on numerous fronts! Incredibly informative within a limited timeframe! I love precision and you were very precise and to the point to fit that much information in within ten minutes! Superb! And apparently, according to some sources, there's religious "oppression" there. One of the best jokes of the century! Tie Guan Yin. It's even got my name in it so it must be great!!
Yin Hou Khor thank you so much!!! Editing this video took me so long to figure out how to fit as much info into 10 min as possible without being overwhelming haha!
Add a small piece of history. Quanzhou is also the home town of the descendants of the royal family of a kingdom in ancient Sri Lanka. In the early 15th century in the time of the Ming Dynasty, the king of Ceylon (世利巴交剌惹) sent the Crown Prince to China as an emissary with the Treasure Fleet of Zheng He. While in China, the Crown Prince felt in love with China and asked the Chinese emperor for permission to stay. (It was not an isolated incident. The Sulta of Melacca visited the Ming Emperor and stayed in China for 7 years as China was then the richest country in the world). He was granted residence in Quanzhou and married an Arabian princess. They sired descendants but kept very low key for generations. In the late 1990s the Sri Lanka government requested the Chinese government to help to find the descendants of the "lost" Crown Prince. They could find no trace of the descendants but with the help of the Chinese government, found an ancient family graveyard with the insignia of the Prince. They tried to remove the tombstones for study. When news broke out, the direct descendant of the Crown Prince, now a Chinese lady called Xu-Shi Yin E (许世吟娥), came up and called a stop to the intended destruction of her family graves. Upon verification and close investigation by the experts of Sir Lanka, she was established as the direct descendant of the Crown Prince and hailed as the Princess of Sri Lanka and the Sri Lanka government hosted a "Royal Return Home Visit" for her in 2002 where she was treated like royalty in Sri Lanka during the tour. The lady is now a "friendship ambassador" of Sir Lanka and China. So much was the historical bond between China and the surrounding countries in Quanzhou.

My great grand parents was from Quanzhou (We live in Indonesia). I have been there once almost ten years ago with my parents. However, we we're meeting lots of relatives and no time to see the local attractions. It's a good thing I can see the city through your video. Thank you
Thanks Amy for this very educational vlog and amazing how difference cultures and religions can be in harmony. I like the narrator said the colour of the skin doesn't matter...we are all human. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Amy!!!
Your channel is not only entertaining but educational as well because you include the historical background of the city as well. Keep up the good work.
those porcelains are really beautiful.. and i am saying this as a person that dont usually like porcelain.. and i love the prayers to the wind.. I never heard about Quanzhou before..thanks for this very interesting video..
No food emphasis in this show but that's fine as Amy effectively showcases culture, history, art, etc. She does a good job and I wish she'd spend more time on such topics in her food shows.
I know this video was uploaded some time ago, but I just love how excited Blondie is about everything she comes across in China! Keep up the great work Blondie! Love from Antwerp, Belgium!
I never comment on youtube until I came across this video in a cosy sat arvo eating my Haidilao self heated lunch in a quiet surburb in Syd. I miss QZ so much and you have really grasped the essence of my hometown. Well done Blondie, subscribed!
Damn, I must admit that though I spent 5 years time living near Quanzhou and have been there countless time, I never really realized how diverse and unique Quanzhou is! Much appreciated to your video, love it and keep the good work!
Apart from the amazing and informative contents, I really liked your filming and editing skills, the B-rolls, time lapse, drone shots, composition, camera movements, object tracking, speed ramp etc, everything is done so beautifully and professionally. Well done! I can't get enough of it!
You do have a talent. It's not just a collection of random sites, it's a well organised and comprehensive way of representing the sites and culture. Well done
I truly love this video ~ I would be back to Quanzhou in September although I am visiting in Sweden as a scholar since last September. I can not wait anymore.
I am from Dehua!! so glad u introduced my hometown. Dehua was recognized by UNESCO as the World Porcelain Capital, but still not as famous as Jingdezhen
I studied in southern Fujian province for eight years. I'm glad you know more about southern Fujian province more than 90% of Fujianese. Such a Genius.
I think this must be one of my favourite of Amy's videos. Have just rewatched and shown it to my kids (prefer it to all the eating videos, can have more like this, please)
I've been following your content for a while and think the storytelling, editing and research has continuously improved. This video is super informative and great to watch! Great work! A minor recommendation would be to invest into a clip on microphone - your audio quality is decent and I understand if you're aiming to capture sounds of your surroundings, such as at the beach, but it's worth considering using a mic for interviews and indoor settings. Thanks for the great content!
Exported along with the tea leaves from Quanzhou was the word for tea in many European languages. The word for tea in the southern Fujian dialect/language ("Minnan hua") is "te" (or "de") and the pronunciation is almost identical to that of the French word "thé", the Spanish "té", or even the Italian "tè". From there we then have the English word "tea" and the German word "tee".
Blondie in China ah!! Thank you for replying😂 I always watch your videos with my mum too!! Your videos are the reason we are going to Shenzhen and Macao next year!!
Finally! My hometown! The start of silk road over sea. Lot's of religions, cultures, and lot's of Street food!! Anxi and Dehua , I has been there early this year. Good travel video as usual!! Like like like!!! Xiamen next please! My favorite city : )
Thank you for taking me home and bringing me going deeper into its culture through such an awesome video!!!Comments from an American University student who grew up in Quanzhou
Great discernible progress in video making can be seen in this episode. Such as the introduce labels of architectures made by AE. And filming a temple by holding the camera going straight on the axis from far away to face. Thanks for so much efforts on producing such a nice introduction of Quanzhou!
Amy thank you for another great video. I knew about Zheng He and Quanzhou ancient port, and Tie Guan Yin tea, but today I learnt about Dehua porcelain, fantastic!
Beautifully summarized at 09:10 🌸 "These engravings here are essentially prayers to the wind, wishing the travellers, the traders, the businessmen of the time, safe travels home, good wind, and smooth sailing. So lovely. These inscriptions for me, they show that foreigners, the traders, the people of different ethnicities and beliefs, not only were they accepted, they were loved. Quanzhou was a place that showcased to the world that people of different faiths could live together in harmony, respect and accept each other.

We are all human." 🌍 Welcome to Quanzhou! ❤️ ☮
As a Chinese born in Quanzhou, i am so glad to see your video!!!! You did a really good job:D Next time maybe you can try some traditional food in Quanzhou, which is also very famous in China, and tasty~

I love Quanzhou
I've been there last year with an exchange program in my city (Neustadt an der Weinstraße) which is the german partner city of Quanzhou
And I absolutely loved it
It's so vibrant and full of culture and history
On every corner there is something new to discover
I'm so happy you made this vlog, so that people can see this forgotten gem
And everyone is so kind
Just an amazing place, I have fond memories of!

This clip has the most interviews with local Chinese people in their settings. That a new twist. Good history lesson, Amy.
