Hope you enjoyed my little bike tour around this area of Yangshuo. Let me know if you'd like to see more stuff while I'm driving around places!
Yes. Yes. Yes
CCTV and BBC jointly produced a 6-episode documentary called Wild China. You could watch it, and the scenes of China in this documentary are very beautiful. This kind of beauty is exactly what the west hope China to be, wild, primitive, and backward. In this documentary, it is completely unclear that China is the world's largest industrialized country.
@@robinzzs Otherwise, you think the BBC would be willing to join in? Unless BBC can portrait the place like the wild wild world African safari with yesteryear's nostalgia, it wouldn't be politically correct.
Hi, Oli. I couldn't find your contact info on your RUclips channel. so I've sent a message via fb messenger. Please check it out and let me know.
Almost 300k ❤
You will inspire many western people to explore China and build a good understanding instead of hatred. I myself was influenced by western culture since I was a young kid, so I can say that I understand western culture more than western understand us, the Chinese. I hope your videos will continue to help western people to learn more about China. By the way, your Chinese pronunciation is amazing, I am kinda shocked.
Truly agree with you
说的很好，支持！
@Rexxon Chuah Well said👏🏻
I wish I'm living, studying and working in a paradise like this. I feel like visiting this place again on my PC screen after visiting Yangshuo nearly 6 years ago. Also, love the translator pen, it's so intelligent and much much better than Google Translate.
i hope oli knows how lucky he is. we can't even get over there. we can only live through him. enjoy it my asian brother.
traveling and learning something new in a place like this for a period of time/growing up here is two complete different feeling. my friend🤭
but low cost of living and high standard of life quality is true
你的中文文法大致沒錯，而且說的字正腔圓，中文有明顯的進步，讚喔！👍
Hey what a shame! You visiting my hometown and I am stucking in Europe.... Enjoy you guys! I have enough of West full of hadred!!!
活捉野生知事一枚
抓到你了!
Hey GermanCheese, your channel is super cool! Cheers!

What a stunning beautiful landscape you are surrounded with! You are so lucky to be able to study Chinese language at young age in such beautiful and relax environment. I wish I can be retired right now and buy a property in this place. Any place with water, mountain/hills, cannot go wrong. I hope they keep this place not too crowded or too commercial. China has definitely changed for the better. Years ago, rural place like this did not look this organized and clean. Now it looks so nice and neat and well maintained. This is so much prettier than what I have seen in other parts of Asia. Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful China that people cannot see from the bias Western media. It is sad, that the Western media is so mean to China and Chinese people and people actually believe what the crap they spread out there. Please keep doing what you are doing in showing us what you see and experience in China that we cannot see outside of China through the Western media.
Yes, I think life and beauty should have nothing to do with politics. At least what we think is beautiful should be reported transparently and publicly. This is also a part of Chinese culture, inclusive of all rivers, tolerance is great, tolerance, coexistence, and truthfulness. Hope the world becomes better, work hard together, and feel the beauty of the world.
@Peter Williams You can take a short leave and go to visit Yangzhou before you decide to stay there for a long time or not. Of course, It is a terrific place that many people want to settle there, not matter they are Chinese or westerners.
@@sandyau5380 : I will definitely take your advice. Thanks much!
I was in Yangshuo in Nov/Dec 2019 just before the lock down. I must say it is one of the most scenic beautiful place I had been to in CHINA.
That translator pen is awesome!
Agree
If you think Yangshuo is beautiful, raise your hand to show your admiration 🙋✋🔥
🙋🏻♀️
🤚👌
Yeah !!! ...👊
I knew you bro. 上次说到马思瑞来着. 在这又碰上了哈哈
哥們怎麼去到哪裡都能看到你呀哈哈哈
Beautiful scenery and beautiful people
wow, your Chinese really improved so fast. good job Olie.
Better than me as a native.
5:58 as a Chinese. They are typical amateur chess players on the street. The red side grabbed the offensive, but black has more offensive pieces and fewer defensive pieces, but the defensive formation is very good. Not surprisingly, the player playing black will win.
Oli, China is maturing you and instilling in you wisdom beyond your years by providing abundance of culture, safety and dynamism. You lucked out and chose more correct paths than wrong. Happy for you and your dad.
Amazing view! Imagine at the pathway, those paddy fields became golden (ripen) and the blowing wind cause ripples or waves on the field. During late afternoon or sunset time it the view would be insane. Thanks for sharing.
Oli. Your Chinese language has improved a lot and that pen is definitely handy.
Thanks for the tour. The country side is a gem.
They forgot that basic fact that Chinese are people, People can be happy, they also forgot that China is a country and a country can be developing and harmonious
Not that they forgot. They just don’t think Chinese or Asians should. You can call it what you want but discrimination and glass ceiling are nothing new in the west. You have to work harder and perform much better to get the job.
@@TAL142 it’s not like Chinese aren’t working hard enough already. Most of the west still doesn’t want others to have what they have, or can not tolerate the thought of it at the very least.
@@admirali.a.6175 Basically the attitude is people can have the bread crumbs US is willing to give you but US has to determine your path. Just like Toshiba was big in semi-conductor but US forced them to sell and let them keep some key components. And US has so much turmoil internally and they want to make the same mess globally. They used whatever to divide including racism and wars. The NGOs are one of their weapons. They are mostly funded by government and run by ex-government officials.
I've seen White people on the internet literally say Asians are an inferior race. They don't want to see any Asians/Chinese succeed. I've also experienced it multiple times in my 30 years in NYC. They may not say it to your face most of the time but you can tell by their attitude and body language conveying that thought. No it's not EVERY non-Asian people doing that, but there's more than enough of them. That's why there are a lot of self hating Asians in the West. They don't want to face this kind of discrimination constantly and want to become fully assimilated (White) and reject their Asian roots.
@@TAL142 That's BS... sounds like BLM lol
The translation pen you introduced is very good, What you said at the last few minutes of the film is very reasonable and i feel that your Feeling is true.
This pen can buy at where?

That shoe fixer on the sidewalk reminds me of my time in my hometown in southern Philippines when I was younger. We have those people and back then people aren't so into consumerism and so keeping a quality old shoes was common and this trade was really common. You see them fixing shoes here and there and waxing them in the end. But now so many bargain shoes are available you don't see that many people trying to fix their leather shoes
I need this lovely female cobblers to fix my shoes n scandals.
Here in Indonesia, shoe fixer are still exist and I've been seeing them on many occasions. I suppose they may not be as popular as they were back then but in my case, I often seeing one wandering around as they carry their sewing tools while shouting "shoe sole!" on the way, hoping for anyone to use their service. Sometimes I feels bad for them because they're poor and people paid them cheap.
Mate enjoy the best life what you see in China you don't see it any where in the world keep moving
I love your videos mate. That is correct I have just completed high school and I have completely become a different person. and I guess that's the same for my other mates too.
The old lady was to fix shoes. In Sichuan province, Shoe is called “Haizi” in stead of “Xiezi”, sounds like Kids or children to outsiders.
That scan pen is amazing! I wish I got something like this when I was studying Chinese in 2001! I ordered a dish which I thought it's beef...but turned out to be bull frogs.....lol
Hahaha. i got your point.
you must saw 牛蛙.
He rode so far.And we didn't even see any rubbish on the road. Really clean
and thats the rural area.
now china is real clean，if you think it is rubbish everywhere，it must be watching too much bbc or cnn，west media just is lier
For real 6:09-6:30 I just love how clean and tidy the street is, almost mistaken it as Japan for a moment!😍
Just wow! Is this even a county?😳 It's fascinating how developed and modern this is with "urban" town design, multi-storey housings and offices, modernized public services and facilities to an extent, high standard private school(?), etc.
For example, my hometown which is supposedly a provincial capital city itself, is not even close to a "mere" Chinese county like this! And fyi, a Chinese county is close to a district in Indonesia.. but Yangshuo is just as developed and, if more beautiful than many regencies/cities in our country here😍☺️
12 towns in guilin city. yangshuo little town is one of them and a pretty famous one.
I am never tired of beautiful scenery of HuilIn & Yangshuo mountain and river, it is so peaceful and meantime full of life, vividly. Thanks for sharing such beautiful experience. And wish I can see more you going deeper,, I am curious what the end would look like of this magnificent huge scale of nature painting.
it is Guilin,
OMG! This was the place I passed by when taking the train from Guilin to Nanning. Loved the karsty landscape so much but due to the short trip I wasn't able to visit. So happy to discover you're featuring it. Have always loved your videos showing village life. It's a paradise😱. Thank you. Look FWD to more village videos 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Oli, you speak the truth, it is a sight that money can not buy, no way! It"s really picture prefect and worth the distance you have to cover to reach the exotica , the climax is really soul pleasing, the clear water river is so inviting especially the weather is so complimentary. Lucky man, all the way from England.
It is amazing for you in the improvement of Chinese, congratulation !
I truly enjoyed this video of the rural part of China. It’s beautiful! I am a nature lover. I can see myself living here for the rest of my life . Thanks for sharing. I hope that you will continue to learn the Chinese language and enjoy the rest of your life in China. 👍💪💪😊❤️Please continue to show us more videos of the different parts of the rural China. You are still young and your life in China should be bright and successful. Take care
I’m so happy see you back my hometown for studying and enjoying local living
Definitely loved the gorgeous place , thanks Oli for sharing 👍💕
Wow, your Chinese has improved so much. Keep up the good work Oli! 加油👍😊
What a lovely place. Stunning scenery. Enjoyed your reflections on people always changing.
Stunning scenery, which is probably why the lyrics of old Chinese music is always
about nature, love and the beauty of the land!
It’s truly beautiful! Share more. Thanks.
Olly, you have no idea how jealous and envious I am of you!!
My husband and I did the 3Gorges Dam Tour in 2014. We boarded in Yangshuo. What exquisite memories you have awakened in me by this video. My friend, enjoy every moment of your life in China. It's a beautiful country in every way. Thanks for this video.
Jia you !
Thanks for the double subtitles!
Truth matters. Thank you for showing the real China.
You are doing some good deed to the world.
Amazing Oli and keep up the great work!
This is my favorite video of yours so far. This is the China I remember. So UNBELIEVABLY beautiful!! 美丽
The sceneries are gold. Thank you Oli for sharing beautiful China through your positive lens. The mountains are quite stunning.
Thanks for the enlightened commentary and the wonderful view of rural China. Brilliant!
口语表达越来越自然流畅啦！祝贺，奥利大进步！
Oli's Chinese have been improving a lot!
加油！👍
The view is breathtaking, thank you for sharing this. Love from Hong Kong. Peace!
What a good, enjoyable video!
Absolutely spectacular!
that device is pretty handy! Great vid as always!
Thanks for sharing this video. I love Yangshuo, had been there three times visiting some villages though I always stayed around West Street. Never been to this type of countryside, simply beautiful and serene!
You are mastering the tones of the Chinese you spoke in the video. Well done!
Wow! Your vocal chinese is good. Am very impressed by the pen.
Your last complaint is very humorous, keeping this humor will make you more charming，加油！~~
I grew up in such environment. Such places always bring back fond memories of my childhood days.
What an amazing tool you use! I gonna buy one for my French learning.
I am really envious of your 'simple ' life you are living in 阳朔! Your videos have definitely made a difference to westerners who have no knowledge about China other than listening or reading from western MSM. There will definitely be an huge increase in tourism in China once the pandemic is over. Well done Lee and Oli 👍👍💪💪🙏🙏🇨🇳🇨🇳
Thanks Barrett for showing me such beautiful place, another traveler heaven in China.
Your Chinese has improved greatly in just a few months. Very proud of you. Good job.
Wow that translation pen is awesome!
Liked what you said about living in a big city vs. smaller place, it's very true: it feels like we are constantly running and chasing, keep all the plates spinning...your thoughts are inspiring, coupled with this breathtaking view, it's even better experience for us. Would love to take a break and to be in the middle of this georgeous view myself, thank you for bringing us along :)
Amazing contents as always, this place is so beautiful and I need that "future pen" for myself as well lol
What a beautiful scenery! That is just amazing
Just can't imagine your Putonghua sounds just like a Chinese in only 6 weeks. Keep up with the good work.
Your Chinese improved so much, good job man !
Thank you Barrett. Its beautiful view
You did tell us a lot of things about life in this video. They are worth of thinking over and over. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us❤️❤️❤️
Nice view, even though I feel that's ordinary view since I raised up at all most the same view. You can see there are many rice farm land in green there, so I recommend Oli could visit there again in Autumn like the late of the October maybe, I bet you would love it and will see those green rice farm land ALL turn in yellow and you could even smell the special nice smell of rice. Damn I miss that time when I was in my hometown Guangxi
Hi, Oli, the place is so picturesque and scenic, thank you for showing us the authentic version of China, I can't wait to visit China......hope the pandemic will be over soon....Cheers good luck and good health. By the way, your spoken Chinese is improving every day, you speak like a local !
It's OK if you don't know the local dialect, most of us don't know dialects from other provinces either. At least that's what I've been telling myself, when trying to understand english I just never have any clue what some Irish people are saying.😂
I roinnt cásanna, ní dhéanann siad ceachtar. 英文翻译: In some cases, neither do they. After I get a firm grasp of HSK3, I'm going to work some more on my Irish Gaelic.
wow, i love this place so much greens & mountains around just amazing!
Thanks for sharing the video. Such a beautiful place!
To really see beauty in anything, slow down. Better still, stop to look and listen. As one slows down, even a simple wild flower by the roadside is more beautiful. It's true even in the city. We miss a lot by rushing through.
This place kind of fantasy picturesque like that "Lord of the Rings" trilogy but unique and onto its own. Its cool. Maybe a simple life is better in some ways than in the big cities.
I learned so much about this place, but have never been there. Thanks for giving us a little bit pre-view.
Wow - this was wonderful. Seeing the rural parts still have community - and natural wonders - is cool!
really like ur everyday school life video!
I've cycled there on and off since 2000 until 2013. Great is Yangshuo.
The city looks super clean. Excellent work.
Brilliant, Oli. You truly are a worldly person.
Wow, Oli you can read Chinese later, you are amazing 👍👍💕
If you think the world will learn Chinese language in the future, raise your hand to look forward to this reality 🙋✋🔥
A polyglot/multilingual future.
There are other countries that are proud of their linguistic diversity like Singapore, Mauritius, South Africa, Cameroon, Malaysia and Switzerland
You just need that pen, would be easy to learn :)
the scenery is amazing，I love that much，hope for sharing with us
thank you for the video i love that scenery you guys show us
进步好快，发音很不错了
As a Malaysian Chinese, we have a lot of commons like Chinese people in China, we love peace, we love wealthy, and we love to share our culture. Not that I don't understand why the western countries hate on us, is that I totally understand WE can survive without their idealism. So just stop it and work hard for your people in the western, stop attacking Asians.
I didn't expect the scenery of Yangshuo village to be so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic Oli! You managed to learn so much Chinese within 3 months!
Yangshou is a beautiful place. I dipped my big toe in the Li river many times. Go and visit Xingping Ancient Town. The picture is at the back of the 20 yuan note. I'll be returning to Yangshuo in the near future when China opens up again.
風景很美唷....tks Barrett
Your Mandarin skills are improving! Keep it up. :)
I visited Yangshuo a few years ago and it is one of my favorite place in China, the scenery is stunning highly recommend if you haven’t been there.
It's amazing when you submerge yourself in vastness and nature, your sense of speed and time changes along with your view of life. This is a great video.
Really beautiful.
你的解说词也非常到位，既应景，又富于哲理，而且语言优美动人！
Thank you for show & sharing your beautiful experience.
A lot of words of wisdom in this video, especially the judging people part.
True. Oli is mature and shows wisdom.
天呐！我也想要一支这样的笔😍，有道翻译太牛了👍！另外，你的中文发音好正👍谢谢你视频最后这段客观事实中肯的话❤️

I am very proud and pleasure that you like my hometown. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for always objectively describing China. Please enjoy your life in China!
Really like your video. Beautiful scenery. Keep up the good job of introducing China to the world.
Oli, please visit my hometown Xiamen and don't miss my born place Jimei! You will definitely love it. Visiting my friend's tea farm in the mountain 1000 meter above the sea level will be an brilliant experience as well. cheers mate!
I've spent most of my life in sizable cities but I was in Small town Indiana for a little while and rural West Virginia for a little while also. I found that cities are great, and so is the countryside. It's the suburbs that are dull as hell.
Kind of cool to see a place and perspective I've never been to. Thanks for sharing!
So beautiful. Your perspective in life is good, too.
