5月1日-5月5日千万不要出门旅行，就呆在酒店就可以了，这个节日来临你无论你去任何地方到处都是人。14亿人口都放假，你可以想一想你将面临怎样的拥挤。
The link doesn't work, can you fix it?
她说中国的最后一个视频了@@Ac_Bc_XYZ
the forbidden city and great wall are also recommended
How come you did not showcase fuxian lake in Yunnan ? The site of colossal underwater city 4000 yrs old. Everyone knows .
What makes Alina’s vlogs great is her stunning photography and excellent editing. Of course,her beauty and narration make everything complete.
Thank you so much ☺️
It's done with the help of the Chinese government.
The Chinese government helped her do that.
@@AhmetTekin101
Your life must be a drag!
She missed out on lake fuxian...underwater city!
the ethnic clothing are mesmerizing right? they are certainly comparable to luxurious brands... shame that the world know so few about ancient Chinese aesthetics😢 luckily chinese teens are happily embracing and reviving these fashion and bringing it up to streets
It is great to see young people keeping the traditions alive!
Yes, the world is accustomed to embracing Italian aesthetics and French aesthetics, but it has forgotten China’s five-thousand-year-old aesthetics.
Blame it on the no freedom of press in China.
@@AhmetTekin101 What's your country? I don't think your country provide u freedom of press because u say this sentence...
@@chiyiu0815 Non-transparent countries are usually the most corrupt.
For example, China 🇨🇳 is the most corrupt country on the planet, with Freedom of Press ranking 179/180.
Can't wait for your 2nd China adventure, hopefully in the West part of China: Shangrila, Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, etc
Thank you! There will definitely be a second trip!
@@AlinaMcleod Those places mentioned rival or even surpass Yunnan in terms of the no. of beautiful and diverse landscapes they have, and also the diverse ethnicities. Tibet and some border towns though you need a separate entry permit.
@ymhktravel These regions do not require a separate pass, only Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan require a separate pass
She won't have permission to visit anywhere in those occupied areas.
Genocide is still going on there
She won't be able to travel freely in those occupied territories.
She may be required a government guided tour guide.
There is no words to thank these people. They are doing what kind and generous people do, to spread the beauty of China.
Spread the truth of about the authoritarian surveillance Chinese regime.
she gets paid to travel to these places.
@@JalomMatiahow many years since you have been brain washed?
@@ufoforest she gets paid by RUclips for all her views and subscribers. that is how RUclips works, and that is how these people can afford to travel and not work other jobs. those are just facts, common knowledge.
They usually also get free food and free hotel stays when they mention where they are eating or staying.
In fact, ancient Chinese women had the habit of wearing makeup on a daily basis, especially during the Tang and Song dynasties, which were most prevalent more than a thousand years ago, and most women had several types of makeup called "rouge" in their lives.
Lijiang is one of the most attractive destinations in China, and very unique in many aspects. Its geophysical location has allow a perfect preservation of many cultural relics, such as a imperial court music that can be traced back in a thousand years (Song Dynasty). Aside from the beautiful snow mountains (Jade Dragon), it is a great sample where Han Chinese have been living peacefully with a few minority ethics such as Bai, Yi, Yao and Zang/Tibetan. In recent years people from coastal areas even Taiwan and HongKong choose to settle here to infuse a vibrant Artistic accommodation and cafes. Happy life in China for all!❤
Taiwanese are from a separate country.
They have freedom and prosperity in Taiwan 🇹🇼, Chinese don't.
@@AhmetTekin101Taiwan is a part of China.
@@AhmetTekin101 shabi
Taiwan IS PART OF China，but Taiwannese r not Chinese。
@@weijieqiu2742 Taiwan is not part of China. Taiwanese are not Chinese.
It's been a month. Time flies. Glad you had a wonderful time and a happy ending!
Folks at CBC are livid seeing this video featuring beautiful scenaries, blue skies and friendly Chinese locals without application of dark grey filters and omnimous music. Can't wait for your next China tour. Beautiful, informative and interesting videos throughout this series. Thanks Alina 😊
Love to hear how one knows that the CBC are livid. Now CBC and CGTN are pretty equivalent. If CGTN was livid, you'd never know it. The CCP obviously has bureacrats to insure its vision of reality is perfectly broadcast. CBC lives in a multiparty state, so it can't produce perfect.
WOW???? THE MOST SUPER BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN CHINA , AND THE BEST OF THE WORLD ALL FC DREAM COME TRUE BE THERE
Dressing up is full immersion into culture ...lovveeeee it ❤
There are quite a few Ukrainian women who have settled in China or married to Chinese men who have regular vlogs on RUclips and they speak fluent Chinese like a native.
Yes. I watch a few of them on Douyin (via TouTiao). In China, Ukrainian ladies are known for their beauty. I have Chinese colleagues (when I worked in China) who very much look forward to visit Ukraine for business trip. Btw, there are also Ukrainian models working in China.
Chinese men went to Russia to marry Russian widows.
Please name their channels
@@alanbgtan Katya in China, Xiao Hei and Yana, xuwen_kalina,
@@alanbgtanrecommend you @LiaoKatya
I absolutely agree with you. Lijiang is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. Walking along the stream, and as you did, visiting the Black Dragon Pool park, was THE most relaxing place you can imagine. Peaceful, beautiful and totally breathtaking. Sat down for a long while at that colorful pavilion in the middle of the water. So much to see and eat and just take in.
What a beautiful & stunning place. It's like a real life fairtale city! China is amazing!
Thank you for sharing! ❤😊
I’ve never been there, but my wife went there five times, loved it so much she bought a house there and wanted to live there after I retire. I sold the empty house after she passed away, but always wonder what’s so great about the place that she loved. It’s definitely on my bucket list to visit. Enjoy the trip.
the most beautiful thing is that people live there harmony with the mother nature.
Been there too, very beautiful 😍😍😍😍
By the way, on the 1st day upon arrival, don't drink too much alcohol, don't run, don't rush, have a good rest and sleep well. Otherwise you maybe suffer from altitude sickness next morning with headaches etc.
I did feel the altitude quite a bit!
Your production quality is great!
Thank you!
Been there. Very beautiful scenery and enjoyable.
I visited Lijiang last summer, God, I have missed it so much, loved your video, really awesome with the great captures and edits.
Glad you liked it!
@@AlinaMcleod ❤️❤️
Looked all of your China trip videos. Professional done!
Thank you very much!
I just love seeing old and ancient places. That breakfast looked better than Denny's, and with a much better view. I must say, you looked so pretty in those traditional clothes.
I agree and thank you!
Only way to improve Chinese scenery would be poltical freedom.
Great videography capturing the beauty of this area. You are right about the mountains and trees being reminiscent of Alberta Canada. China is such a big country that it is not surprising that the difference in elevation and temperatures encompass just about any landscape in the world.
Your selection of the traditional Chinese costume is also a good one. Whenever I see a Westerner wearing traditional Chinese costumes it is so symbolic that we can blend the best of the West with the best of the East.
Thank you very much!
I'm glad you came to Lijiang, my favorite Chinese city❤
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support 😊
wow you look stunningly gorgeous in the traditional Yun Nan costume.
Rocking that traditional attire, seriously, you look absolutely stunning! 🔥
Can't wait for your 2nd China adventure,Glad you had a wonderful time and a happy ending!
Visited Lijiang many years ago. Very beautiful.
A very amazing one!❤❤
There’s a small town a few miles away from Lijiang called Shuhe, it’s well worth a visit. It’s so relaxing with crystal clear water flowing through the town and an array of beautiful ancient shops to explore. You even see locals leisurely riding ponies around the cobblestone streets, beautiful.
You are so beautiful wearing the local minority cloth.. your music pick is great.. the back view of you wearing red walking to the water side hits me, 11:22, it is a sentimental feeling.. it is sad many beautiful things cannot be eternal..
So beautiful!❤❤❤China is the future🎉🎉🎉
丽江周边还有很多名胜啊😂！拉市海、束河古镇、白沙古镇…，云南值得玩的太多太多了
Highly recommend you go to Shaxi old town some day, it's not far from Lijiang and it's much smaller, but it's what Lijiang looks like in 90's.
I agree, it's way less touristy, and it feels more like an old town.
REALLY MARVELLOUS
I was in Yunnan province many years ago but didn't remember it was this beautiful. Perhaps I was too young then. But yeah, looks like I may have to visit again!
Yes, absolutely Banff and lake Louise. Even the colour of the water is the same.
It looks like the Grand Tetons in Wyoming, USA. Of course Chinese mountains go to the very top with Mount Everest/Mount Chomolungma.
Canada is not a slouch when it comes to nature. Actually more of Canada is nature than almost any other country. VIA exists to ease access to that nature. I'm American, but I've traveled to Canada a few times.
The travel from Banff to Jasper is spectacular! Peyto Lake was stunning, and its turquoise color surprised me. I'm surprised that there is a mountain range with snow this far south in China. It will be on my bucket list.
Very beautiful, Alina, with the traditional costume. Pel lang gu nang.
pretty girl
Lijiang really stunning ❤❤
Alina just simply gorgeous beautiful ❤
Thank you!
应该去桂林阳朔，那里也很漂亮。@@AlinaMcleod
Alina u look amazing in these traditional outfit!
Thank you!
A Princess in an Oriental Outfit...how quaint! Right out of a fairytale landscape! Beautiful in all details! Thank you!😘
Puccini wrote operas just due to his rapture with Asian women. At least that is why I THINK Madame Butterfly and Turandot got written. Somehow, the female leads were not happy ladies. Butterfly is abandoned by her faithless fiance and takes her own life.
16:31 here look like Alaska I visited last year,, wowww China so pretty ❤
Hi Alina I live in Lijiang. I originally planned to say hello to you during your live broadcast in Lijiang. But I forgot because of work. On Sunday night when you were live streaming, I happened to be strolling in the old town. and I was about 200m away from you. I only remembered your live broadcast that night when I saw your video when I got home. This is regrettable. I hope to meet you next time. Have a nice trip😊🎉
In fact, China had many cosmetics derived from natural plants hundreds of years ago, such as Chinese "胭脂". These are recorded in historical books. You can learn more about them.
I visited Lijiang 20 years ago. Great memories ❤
Thanks Alina. Your video reminds me of my trip to Lijiang13 years ago. When the big water wheel and the clouds above it showed up(yes, the cloud, as the cloud there seemed much lower than that in Guangzhou where I live), I suddenly feel being back in Lijiang and being back in 2011 again. All in a sudden, I seem to be stepping on the stoned streets and be feeling the wind there again. Those are really great memories and thank you so much for bringing them back to me. Thank you and wish you all the lucks in your coming journeys to the big big world. Oh yes, hope to see your 2nd trip back to China, and back to Guangzhou! Cheers!😁😁
Thank you so much and my pleasure!
I love waking up to your videos! 😊 The rooftop café is totally my style!
Adding this video to my list of favorites. I REALLY enjoyed all your videos from your China & Sri Lanka trips.
My son and his Chinese mother presided of a family gathering in the Heavenly City .both wore costumes from emeperor and emperess regalia .My son spoke in Chinese to the large gathering inside the heavenly city .
Very inspiring
That ethnic outfit fits you so perfectly, you are so beautiful Alina
Thank you so much!
Beauuuuutiful!
Some of the scenery in this video gave me goosebumps. Stunning! Thank you, Alina
Things like this are WHY the planet needs us to save it. This could be a political ad for Greta Thunberg.
Watching you in China Alina, is like watching someone who's been there for a long time. You just seem to fit in so fast.
If you just showed me those mountains and didn't say you were in China, I would probably say you were somewhere in the US or Canada for sure.
Camera shots are perfect!! What a picturesque area ! Thank you for taking us for this China tour!! ❤❤
Really beautiful! It does look like you stepped into a fairytale world!❤
Sure did!
Nice place and unimaginable. Desirable and great inspired china. Hi. Alina great video and we loved it. Thanks watched here montreal
My dear, dear to my heart, I am one of your biggest fans and I always follow you from Egypt. I am sending you the rest of the flowers. I hope that one day you will visit Egypt and see the splendor of the ancient Egyptian antiquities. My greetings to Mr. Father and I wish him good health. Thank you.❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
A vacation every day! Lucky you, Alina!! I wished I'd come along with you to share the pleasant experiences of traveling all over the world & living in luxurious hotels!!!
9:16 You look so beautiful in those outfits, Alina. 👍😍
Yunnan is a magical place, from the climate, scenery and local customs are very special, in 2008, I went to Dali three times in two months, I love it so much, I really hope to have the chance to go there again
I watched the video about this famous ancient town but haven’t chance to visit it yet. So beautiful, your custom dress looks beautiful as well.
这一身民族服饰非常适合你，非常漂亮。与美丽的风景完全融合在一起！
Jesus Christ, can’t imagine myself eating noodles in outfit XD, also mad respect for keeping the outfit on all the way. Really can’t wait to see your next travel to china!!
first! you look beautiful in cover. welcome to China !
Thank you!
I visit Lijiang many moons ago, had to go by bus only via Dali also a beautiful old city wall that is still intact. Went hiking up to Tiger Leaping gorge, may some part has been built China highest hydro dam by now.
Hello Alina! 😁🙏👋✨🌟 I hope your having a magnificent day! This is really a excellent marvelous masterpiece video! 😄👍❤️👏📹🇨🇳🏔🥇💯💫✨🌟 Wow! The city of Lijiang is so amazing!

This episode was incredibly beautiful Alina! I really like your narration and cinematics are always so gorgeous. Lijiang was truly breathtaking!!!

Please plan the next visit soon and please consider a series in Cuba! It would be lovely to see you there. Love from India.
Aw thank you so much!
What a great trip to China (1st round)
Alina, this series of China was so ggod. Lijiang is indeed a magical place. To allow yourself to connect with the spirit of Lijiang in makeup and costume was wonderful. Harriet did so as well. We have been to China three times and we've barely scratched the surface. A return trip is in the future for us as we assume for you too. Be Well dear friend. Sending you much
love ❤ from Harriet, Jim and Harriet
There is just so much to see 😅
I was there a week ago and was amazed by the beauty of lijiang ❤️
Looking Gorgeous Chinese Queen! 👍 , well any way good vlog 👍
Your excitement regarding this trip is wonderful and I am very happy for you. And you look gorgeous in that wonderful outfit. Thank you for sharing my dear friend. ❤❤❤😘
My pleasure!
@@AlinaMcleod 🤗
The ancient and the new scenes that is magical, Alberta all new! However both have its own wonders... !
Went on a China tour in '07. We saw the Great Wall, Teracotta Warriors, and Shanghai. It was horrible, very rushed and we only ate Western food.
So I'm planning a new trip but the more I watch these videos, the more 'must see' places I put on my list. I think one trip is not gonna cut it.
welcome
you rock that ethnic dress like a princess
this outfit is so beautiful, so beautiful, so stunning, so beautiful.
And the scenery was stunning too !
Thank you for all the tips.
I have been to Alberta & I agreed that Jade Snow mountain does resembles Alberta.
18:49 This view definitely reminds me of Lake Louise.
Wow amazing videos as always. Can't wait more videos of your next China trip.
I think this was my favorite from your China trip so far Alina! It looks to be such a great place to visit. As always thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Absolutely stunning !!
So nice video, so good background music...Alina, you are a master!
Thank you for documenting the beauty of China, and good luck with the rest of your journey! I look forward to your next visit to China.
Great video, love it. LiJiang is so beautiful 🎉
自由的大自然空气，自由的大自然风景。谢谢博主分享！
Wow, the beauty of the place and the beauty of Alina, what an amazing combination!
Alina, appreciate so much your professional videos on China. The videos are simply stunning as is your presentation.
Such a beautiful city, and you looked stunning 😍. The mountains looked like the Rockies you are right.
Alina, You look so nice in the traditional outfit. Looks like you were enjoying the personal hot pot. Typically you would wait for the broth to come to a boil before adding the ingredients. LiJiang is another city on my list. Your videos make each area so enchanting and intriguingly beautiful. It seems like there are many more holiday dates to negotiate and travel around along with the unpredictability of the local weather. Keep up the excellent vlogs!
Aw thank you so much!
Beautiful. Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Alina, really enjoyed your videos, they are professionally made and we can see you really put your heart to them.
Thank you so much! I try my best 😊
nice pictures.
That dress is sooooo beautiful!
nice recorrido en lijiang nice, gente , restaurante, río , mountains , bonita panoramica nocturna y te miras pretty! con tu jacket morada ❤❤
Privet Alina ! What a beautiful place ! I'm def going to visit china in the near future ! Thanks for opening our eyes !
You are very beautiful Alina with this chines dresses. You are always beauty , but this dresses was something very special.🤩😍🥰

Aw thanks beauty! ❤️
Never would've guessed you could find a local, western-style breakfast place in such a setting, but your journey throughtout China has been full of pleasant surprises. Thank you for offering recommendations and helpful advices for those contemplating a visit. Looking forward to your next stop!
My pleasure!
