We took the Humen/Dongguan Station to Guangzhou South. Then to Guilin. We checked out the Longji Rice Terraces before heading to Yangshuo in a minibus. Our guides took us to some really good places. You visited many places we wish we had more time to see. Oh well, heading back to China for more adventures in October. Maybe Chongqing. Maybe Yunnan Province. And more videos to follow. Xie xie for sharing!
After watching this video, I have an impulse to visit Yangshuo. The scenery was amazing and the food seemed so delicious. However, I hope the camera didn’t swing so much, I felt dizzy and couldn’t finish the video in one time. Anyway, good job and looking forward to the next release 😊.
Check out Jiu Zhai Gou, which is north of Chengdu. Its a well kept secret that most foreigners do not know about, but is very popular amongst the Chinese people. Beautiful setting up high in the Himalayas! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Hi! Thank you :) Yes, you do need to buy the train tickets separately, but you can easily do that on Trip.com! There's a lot of different train options and times, so there's no set time between the two trains. You can pick the one that fits your schedule best :)
Love your videos! We're panning our Guilin/Yangshuo trip for November so your video was really helpful and timely. Can you share which hotel you were at? Did you need to go to the foreign passport line at both the Kowloon West and Guangzhou South stations to do passport verification? Also do we need a tour guide for this trip to Yangshuo? Did you need to download wechat to pay for things, or cash was ok? So many questions...Thank you in advance.
Hi! We stayed at Lihua Chen's Garden Hotel - we booked it on Trip.com. I have a Hong Kong-China permit, but yes, Nick has a foreign passport so he would have to go through the foreigner counters. Hong Kong West Kowloon is actually the entry point into Mainland China, so you will clear immigration and customs all within Hong Kong West Kowloon, and you won't need to do that when you're in Guangzhou. However, do keep your passport on you, because your passport will be your train ticket! If you don't speak any Chinese or find downloading all the apps a bit of a hassle, I think getting a tour guide would be good! You may speak with the hotel and see if they can organise a car so they can take you around the different sites. WeChat/ AliPay are the main forms of payment in the Mainland, but they will also take cash. So if you don't have WeChat and don't want to download it, you should be fine. Just note that there are quite a lot of services that are linked to those apps, so you may not be able to get access to it!
It was easy! If you're in the old town area, it's not too big, so you can easily navigate. But, if you want to go further, you might need to use maps! I'd also suggest using Didi if you wanted to go further out as the e-scooters can't go too far
great video! What app do you use to get restaurant ideas? Also, was there the evening show in Yang Shuo when you went? or perhaps it was too cold/early in the season?
I used '大众点评' - but not sure if there is an english version... there's also 'XiaoHongShu' which may have a bit more english content! But otherwise... can also ask the hotel you're staying at, or Trip.com for what's good around the area!
I have read some comments, not only on this channel, on why some “Chinese” have to speak English, regardless whether you like it or not, it is a still a de facto international business language, one does not have to be so sensitive and nationalistic about this. People can speak whatever language they like, and bear in mind not every Asian (Chinese) can speak fluent 普通話, this girl is probably educated at an International school by the sound of her accents, as her accents remind me of some of my family members who went to International school in HK.
it was quite easy! there was a scooter rental vendor just outside of our hotel, and we paid around 50 RMB for a full day! we didn't go too far, so no problems with battery. you can check with the vendor when you rent how far the scooter can go!
Hey Cynny! :) found your channel by coincidence. Gonna head to Guilin for 1 night and then 3 nights in Yangshuo. My hotel is by the river in Yuangshuo and I wanted to ask if its easy to get around? The view point close to your hotel at 6 am for sunrise is meant to be 40min drive by car if you go by googlemaps. Can yoou recommend to take a scooter and are roads empty?
Hiya! You can definitely rent e-scooters easily, your hotel should be able to help with that :) However, as they are e-bikes, they can’t go too far. If you’re going further, you can order a DiDi - they’re super convenient too. For the hike, we actually walked in the dark for about 20 mins before we found the starting point. We found out afterwards that our hotel could have driven us to the start of the hike… so maybe you can check with your hotel too!
NI HAU NO IM NOT CHINESE IM ENGLISH I USUALLY WATCH YOU TUBERS EVERY AFTERNOON JUST STARTED WATCHING YOU TUBERS IN CHINA SO YOU CAN TAKE ME SOFA TRAVELLING.
Your boyfriend is a bit shy on camera.Any chance of you both getting married.I met my first girlfriend in 1965 she was 17 i was 21 we became the worlds greatest unknown lovers the real romeo and juliet,we married in 1966 after about courting for 4 months till she died in 2013 i to died that night.
This is China, a great diverse country, super safe, high technology, cashless society and convenient lifestyle. ENJOY
Yangshuo looks like a fairytale scenery! It's also a great spot to experience Chinese small town life
Loved it!

That's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
Thank you so much!
Nice vlog!
Assuming you needed to buy the tickets (HK-GZ & GZ-YS) separately, how much time was there between two trains in GZ?
Hi! Thank you :) Yes, you do need to buy the train tickets separately, but you can easily do that on Trip.com! There's a lot of different train options and times, so there's no set time between the two trains. You can pick the one that fits your schedule best :)
I highly recommend Impression Liusanjie night show on the Liz River
great video
Good take…. keep going💪🏼💪🏼!
Thank you!

@@CynnyGoesToChina Thank you for your very helpful and prompt reply!
i see your leaving me now i was enjoying sofa travelling with you .
how was riding scooters? is it easy to navigate or necessary when traveling in yangshuo?

How do you know all these places to go? I went there end of Dec. looked like I missed a lot . :)
We did a bit of googling and also asked our hotel for advice! Xiao Hong Shu is also a good place to find info :)
Great video. Check out Little Chinese Everywhere. She is my favorite and focuses on Unseen China like you.
We love her videos too!
what was the process like with renting the scooter in the xingping area? how much did it cost? did you two have any issues with battery charge?
it was quite easy! there was a scooter rental vendor just outside of our hotel, and we paid around 50 RMB for a full day! we didn't go too far, so no problems with battery. you can check with the vendor when you rent how far the scooter can go!
First!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
