    Alina, just for your information. Zhangjiajie is located in Xiangxi region, a historical minority majority region. The region was incorporated into China during the Three-Kindom Era (ca. 220 to 280). After 1800 years, the minority languages are still being spoken, the various minority groups account for nearly 90% of the population. This is in stark contrast to the fate of Native Americans in North America and the Aboriginals in Australia.

      Absolutely, it’s interesting to note that Zhangjiajie, located in the northwestern part of Hunan Province, China, has a rich history dating back to the Stone Age. It was previously named Dayong and has a recorded history dating back to 221 BC. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties (1600 BC - 256 BC), it was under the Jingchu State’s jurisdiction. During the Spring & Autumn and the Warring States Periods (770 BC - 221 BC), it was under the Chu State’s jurisdiction. The Three Kingdoms period (220-280 AD) was a significant era in Chinese history, marked by the tripartite division of China among the states of Wei, Shu Han, and Wu. This period started when the Kingdom of Wei took power from the Han Dynasty and ended in 280 AD when the Kingdom of Wu was defeated by the rulers of the Jin, a new dynasty. So, the region was incorporated into central dynasty rules during the Three Kingdoms Era. Furthermore, it’s worth noting that this region is one(part) of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization.

    The Chinese word for spicy is "Laah" with the 4th tone (which is like if you've just tripped over a rock and yell Shoot!).
    Just point to something on the menu and ask "Laah? Yes, no? (in English)" and most people should be able to understand you. They may not know the word for spicy in English, but they will know "yes" or "no".
    A lot of Chinese also don't eat spicy food, so this is a common question.

    China railway and road system are itself a wonder of the world. I was in Zhangjiajie 2 months ago when it snowed. It's incredible. Make sure you also see Tianmen mountain, it's surreal! Best to enter Tianmen Shan and Avatar mountains at door opening hours (7am or 8am) to avoid the big crowds. Even at 7-8am there were already many ppl queuing.

    Alina, I don't know how you ended up in my YT feed but I decided to watch you anyway. As one who lived in China for 15 years and LOVED every minute of it , train prices are cheap, especially as compared to the UK!! Do you think you can go from London to Edinburgh for $70 (GBP 56) by train - somehow I doubt it. Your "over priced" train ticket is due to the app you are using, who undoubtedly have taken a huge chunk of that $70 train ticket!! Hope you have a great time in China while you are there.

    This is the second video of yours that I am watching. Thank you for your great content. As an arm chair traveller, I love it.
