I admire your courage, or rather, you happened to coincide with the National Day holiday. Hahaha, I stayed at home for seven days and didn't even go out to eat because even the restaurant was packed with people and the mall was the same. My God！
@@sunkissedbucketlist This is where we love the two of you and try to experience the local life as much as possible. Hahaha, I hope the sea of people won't affect your travel experience too much.
Hahaha, you got the experience! I love this video, it is the true definition of people mountain people sea. I smiled from the beginning to the end. The sunset on west lake is very beautiful!
When other people realize what people mountain people sea means, they would panic when they get into it. Not you! You love a massive big crowd and just go with the vibe. And we love to watch it!
The tall and strong camphor trees around the city god pavilion are between 600-900 years old. When you get close to these trees, you will see their ID cards, which have the age of the tree.
Legend has it that "The Legend of the White Snake" tells the touching story of a snake spirit, Bai Suzhen, who falls in love with a mortal, Xu Xian. They break the taboo of a romance between a spirit and a human, but are ultimately torn apart by the monk Fahai. He imprisons Bai Suzhen in the Leifeng Pagoda, where she remains until her son eventually rescues her years later. Leifeng Pagoda stands by West Lake in Hangzhou, and in the legend, it's where Fahai suppresses Bai Suzhen. Nowadays, the pagoda has become a tourist spot, symbolizing love and the joys and sorrows of human life.
Great courage... I stayed at home for all 7 days actually... But this is not the largest crowd yet, wait for the Chinese New Year and you'll see the real thing :P
I now know why the park, the square , the shopping malls are so huge. On normal working days, the places seem to be under utilised, but then it make complete sense when you take into account that China has 1.4 billion ppl and there are several golden holidays weeks in a year when throngs of people from all over the country would travel or come out to enjoy themselves within the country.
2500 yrs ago, Hangzhou is the frontier town between the Warring States of Wu & Yue, at that time the shore is insider and the west lake is like a sea bay. Between 2000 to 1000 yrs before, with the sea level down and man-made dam-work, the west lake became a lake.
Hello Taz and Libby... great to see you enjoying yourselves, despite being squeezed in with the crowd, liked packed sardines. Taz, can't help but see the New Republic (Star Wars) all over your nicely trimmed goatee 😉
I noticed there is not trash on the ground in the people sea, the metro, and parks. not even a piece of paper throw on the ground. Everybody organized. Everything peaceful. if you see the new York time square new years eve count down, full of trash on the ground.
I highly recommend you two to come to Tibet for a visit(not just Lahsa but also other natural scenic spots),though you may need some extra preparations like a special permission and a guide.I take a self-driving road trip around the Ali region(a district of Tibet) during this national day holiday.The natural scenery is so stunning and breathtaking,and you will hardly see "people mountain people sea" in these places.I can say that most of the time,you just park your car along the road,and you can enjoy the heavenly nature exclusively without being disturbed by others.
From 6:50 to 7:10, that person, named Qian Liu (錢鏐), was the ruler of a small independent kingdom "WuYue" (吳越). This independent kingdom existed approximately from AD 900 to Ad 960. Its capital was Hangzhou. During that time, China was divided into several independent kingdoms, and the whole country was in chaos.
9:17 It is NOT a man made lake. It was originally a muddy pond,, people made some hefty upgrades to it, the belt(road) where the broken bridge at that cross the lake and islands were man made using the sludge from mud cleaning.
not sure if you aware that Hangzhou was the capital of Southern Song Dynasty until it was captured by the Mongol, and during Khubilai Khan era, Marco Polo assigned as governor here. There is a saying if there is heaven above the sky, there are Hangzhou and Suzhou under the sky to describe the beauty of the two cities since the ancient time.
I can tell you how to make money, buy a China mutual ticket, no matter which mutual ticket you buy, it will go up. I have already told you how to make money. If you don't believe me, you can check the information (keyword China's current mutual ticket), and the market will open tomorrow, which will make you 10,000 become 20,000 or even more.
you guys are crazy 😅, I'm getting anxiety just watching lol. too bad you couldn't check out the tea hills, really relaxing but then again not sure if it's filled with people 😆
Maybe to avoid the crowds, pop over to the Qianjiang New City (new CBD) area, near the Qiantang river. The plazas are huge by the InterContinental hotel and it together with the nearby buildings look real futuristic.
Find a road side hair salon to get a haircut, it’s so affordable and enjoyable, they will massage your scalp and shoulder, or even your face, it will be a nice experience!
At 1080p resolutions, the video is clear when the scene doesn't contain a lot of detail. When the scenery is more complex, the details are blurred. I believe you when you said that the lake is beautiful, but the beauty was somewhat blurred by the 1080p resolution. Definitely way too many people out and about on Golden Week. Seems like you have to get up really early and beat the crowd just to go anywhere.
We have never seen crowds like this anywhere in the world. This was truly an incredible experience 🎉🤩

中国国庆节，人多，大家都跑出来玩了，也热闹些，哈哈
huge crowds of people😂
Haha! People mountain and people sea, where did you learn Chinese phase? 人山人海。

We made sure we went out during golden week because we wanted to experience the celebrations with the local people 🥰
@@sunkissedbucketlist Thay are not local people,they are tourist,the local people stay at home or traveling out of Hangzhou

Hahaha it was definitely a fun experience for sure 🥰
33:52 the auntie said "you are pretty"🎉
Hahaha, you got the experience!
I love this video, it is the true definition of people mountain people sea. I smiled from the beginning to the end.
The sunset on west lake is very beautiful!
Glad you enjoyed the vlog 🥰
Love you guys. Always positive vibes. Wishing you a great time in my motherland.

We love getting in on the action with everyone as we consider holidays like this an incredible experience 🥰 just so lively and full of energy 🤩
During the National Day in Beijing, I chose to sit on the sofa at home and watch your videos. I admire your courage very much. Lol...
Don’t worry you can stay on the sofa and enjoy our adventures from Beijing 😉🥰
the mall is beautiful and advanced
I love your British accent, especially your wife's. Thanks for the video by the way
🥰🥰
My favorite place on holidays is stay home 😂😂 so crowded everywhere. Anyway happy days for you, enjoy it. Thumbs up 👍
I am Indonesian, I let you know that you are popular now in China and vastly introduced in their content.
you guys are brave and fun! Enjoy
We wanted to experience the national celebration week, it did not disappoint at all 🥰💪🏼
Hi guys, the buildings around CBD are so beautiful all lighted up. Take care
Chinese cities look stunning at night when they lights come on 🥰
You took poeple mountain poeple sea in your stride. Impressive❤
We wanted to experience the golden week and we loved it 🥰
The scene where don’t see your wife is so cute🤣唔見了您太太的一幕好可愛🤣
West Lake is NOT a man-made lake. It was formed like 4000 years ago, seperated from the big river beside the lake
One thing remarkable is that, with so huge population, China is still one of the most safest country in the world

The sunset looked gorgeous 🤩

Yeah… guys, although people mountain, people sea but like the vibe and atmosphere. Well done, awesome 👍🏻👏🏻
The honest content of your videos are highly appreciated. you discover the truth about China.
I hope you have fun playing in china. A blessing from a Chinese in Japan.

今年春节，在一家餐厅排队了9个小时；暑假，在一家餐厅排队了4个小时；十一我决定在家休息😂看杭州还可以啊，人也不是很多
从家里备带吃的出来。。。哈哈
开放144以后才明白 天安门城楼写的那句 世界人民大团结万岁
"世界人民大团结万岁" Wow
Reminds me when I went to Jiu Zhai Gou Valley. We recommend you guys to visit one day it’s very beautiful:)

到了杭州可以去龙井村喝一杯龙井茶，吃一顿农家菜，浙江是一个富饶美丽的省份，有很多美丽神奇的景点，舟山的普陀山，淳安县的千岛湖风景区，嘉兴桐乡乌镇，湖州的莫干山风景区都是不错的地方。
Love all your vids & adventures! Can't wait for new uploads!
Amazing! The sheer number of people in one place! Bonkers!
Truly people mountain people sea 🤩🥰
Stunning
體驗人山人海也是一道縫風景
you are so brave to travel during the Chinese Golden Week. The weather is so beautiful, the scenery is pretty, and the people look happy. impressive!
AT 34:00 the lady said you are so beautiful , and you answer duiduidui(means yes yes yes ) LoL
Hello Taz and Libby... great to see you enjoying yourselves, despite being squeezed in with the crowd, liked packed sardines. Taz, can't help but see the New Republic (Star Wars) all over your nicely trimmed goatee 😉
That was the beauty of it, being in large crowds but still having the best time 🥰🤩
The music at the beginning of the movie is really festive.
OMG, I never seen so many buses at the same time unless you are at the bus terminal

That lady was such a sweetheart 🥰
天氣真好！風景如畫！
Just discovered your channel, your videos and content is great!
我去过西湖，还没进过雷峰塔，正好通过你们看一下里面什么样子❤❤
Without BBC color filtering, it looks stunningly beautiful at 12:54; we will never see this image here on any MSM.
very beautiful
Cool experience.
You should visit in the winter, under the snow. It's majestic.
Your wife's voice like a teenage girl's voice,, i like to listen, i guess she has golden voice in singing.
correction, population of Hangzhou is about 13million. 8 mil was the number when I was in school 10 years back😂
It is really brave to travel to a tourism destination in China during the Golden week~ Overcrowded places are a bit overwhelming to me.
It`s hard to imagine that China ,with such a large population,still maintains excellent public security.
What you are eating is a type of Cantonese cuisine, which uses hot pots to heat food. Cantonese cuisine is distributed throughout China. enjoy!
There are eateries with 15 -18 Yuan buffet . Please go there .

落霞与孤鹜齐飞，秋水共长天一色。
暖风熏得游人醉， 直把杭州作汴州。
欲把西湖比西子，淡妆浓抹总相宜。
何人解赏西湖好， 佳景无时。 飞盖相追。 贪向花间醉玉卮。
谁知闲凭阑干处， 芳草斜晖。 水远烟微。 一点沧洲白鹭飞。
很美的西湖日落🎉很美的女主❤🎉。享受中国的假期。人山人海🎉🎉🎉
It's crazy that you chose to travel to Hangzhou during the Golden Week.
We love doing crazy stuff haha 😂
7:50 & 8:04 amazing views 😍. 33:42 The lady said "don't understand what 'yes' is" and "you are very beautiful".
33:53This aunt said she didn't understand English, but said yes, she understood it and praised you for being very beautiful.😆

Hahaha! Enjoy the great view of people mountain people sea during Chinese national day holiday!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
你们是真正的勇士，景区已经算是好的了，想想堵路上十几个小时的人！也不错，这也可以做为你下期节目的参考。
西湖不是人工湖，不过确实是在900多年前进行了一些伟大的水利工程才变成现在这个样子。西湖的美 美在它的文化底蕴，无数的诗歌 无数的文人往事。
