Yanjin is a special place and I kind of felt like I went back to my roots while telling this story. Back to 2017 when I first picked up a video camera. It’s probably not the most “viral” video I could have made on my China trip, but that’s okay. It is certainly a story that I enjoyed telling, and this city has left a lasting impact on me. And I hope it will for you too!! The nature, the society, the hospitality, the layout of the land - is all extremely unique and awesome! This is my 6th trip to mainland China, but my first time being away from the big cities on the East Coast. I’m wildly impressed by life out here. Thanks for watching and keep and eye out for the next 5 episodes in my China series!! 🇨🇳🙏
That dude is the reason why I travel. He represents everything about being a good ambassador when a foreigner comes to visit. He not only gave you an exclusive tour around his hometown, even going as far as taking you up high in the mountains, but actually invited you into his house. And to top it off, he's got a beautiful smile too! We should all strive to be like this individual.
@@drewbinsky*"What do you like to see a w people here" 🤭 well, first of all they don't have your so called "w privilege" there they treat all foreigners the same nothing special about you, no matter how you try to emphasis 🤭* *No r based censorship like on RUclips in China either*
so glad to have found your channel. I’m currently suffering from the side effects of cancer treatment from 14 years ago… seeing outside my small world brings me a joy I didn’t realize I was missing. Thank you.
That's very true. The US media make it sound like Chinese economy is collapsing, meanwhile the Chinese people are generally happier than in some "developed" countries.
Yeah, more people need to seek a better life in China. They have millions of empty apartments, whole cities ready, just waiting for people to move in. Good climate and no racism.
@@yodaichi888family, homesick, found somewhere else that was more convenient, common reason. Don’t need someone with a iq higher than 30 to think that 😂
I was really touched by how warm and welcoming this gentleman was to a stranger from across the world. Thanks for the great peek into a place few of us would ever have an opportunity to see.
In my opinion, the best travel vloggers are those who interact with the locals and find out how they lived. That’s why Yan of Little Chinese Everywhere is my favorite. I’m so happy to see Yan here with you! This is another fantastic piece showing both unique natural surroundings and the people who live in this environment. Bravo 👏 🎉
China is a different level of nation.. everything are blend from rural to modern city. From historical building to high tech building. China is magnificent
China is a very diverse country. The west u got Xinjiang and Tibet, the north u got Inner Mongolia, the east u got Shandong and Shanghai, and the south u got Yunnan and Guangdong...deserts, mountains, rain forests, rivers, seas, u name it!
I’m so impressed with how genuinely happy people are, evident by so many smiles. I don’t think I have seen a travel video with a more happy population.
One thing I noticed the people aren't glued to their cellphones they actually enjoy interacting with each other and enjoying nature and etc. I love this💯
@@whereheathergrowsDude we got even more app than u guys like bilibili, Douyin, xiaohongshu, and a lot more. If u r in big cities like Shanghai or Guangzhou, young people definitely are glued to their phone😂😂.
this is funny to tell you the fact that how people in china are blaming about people are so much glued to cellphones, and took western people as good examples that people interact much more in the real world to demonstrate that we don't need to be on the phone the whole time.
Ultimately, the happiest people remind us that contentment comes from within and that true happiness is often found in the connections we make and the love we share. They encourage us to embrace life’s journey with open hearts, fostering a world that values joy, connection, and the pursuit of fulfillment. Thank you Drew, greetings from the Solomon Islands
That small hidden village after the dangerous hike looked like a small paradise. The black wood house, the old man, such a real jump back in time where everything seemed simpler and more human. That meal and that moment shared gave me happy goosebumps
Unbelievable! Mr. Binskey! I lived on the upscale side of Yanjin in the same kind of school-provided flats for the 3 foreigners who were all there to teach English. )2001-2002) I walked the same bustling streets , ate wonderful street foods as you did, and took the same nearly treacherous hike as you. The warmth you found was true for us/me as well. Thank you for taking me home some 22 years later.
Gracias por darnos a conocer ese hermoso lugar. Me alegra saber que en este mundo tan conflictivo, todavía existen lugares tranquilos con personas felices y amigables. Saludos Grande !!
This is one of the most unique city in China. I like how almost everyone in Yanjin are friendly to you Drew. That what I like about citizens in other countries.
Now that I am 65 years old, and as life would have it winding down, it is wonderful to see someone else's view as they explorePlaces that I will never see firsthand. Thank you for sharing these journeys with the rest of us!! Subscribed!!
@@Manananggal-oe8gs We all support our government, and our government will not engage in external aggression, except for demanding the return of our own land: Taiwan Province. The United States is using Taiwan to block China's free passage to the Pacific.
Cool Video man, i have been to Yanjin. My wife is Chinese, she has friends we visited that live there, really cool town. I'm American, Wife (she is from Tianjin.) and i just celebrated our 20 year anniversary. Two kids 16 and 13. China is actually a pretty cool country, Food is amazing. Soon as they know you are from "MeiGuo" (beauty country) people are super nice. Course we visited many times with our kids. People absolutely adored them, from wait staff to doormen, to taxi drivers. They loved the fact we had two Sino/American kids lol. It is a great place to visit. First bit of advice my wife gave me when i first went to china was "We are mellow people, and are friendly. we like Americans...just never talk against the government in public". I always adhere to that. Plus Yanjin Beer is my Favorite! Guess it's that polluted river water that makes it taste great LOL. Nah i don't know if it is actually made there but that's what its called. good beer.
I adore China.....Billions of people need somewhere safe and clean to live, They build high rises in amazing locations just so this is possible. The Chinese people are just thankful to have a clean place to call home.
absolutely. especially considering that it was a very poor country four decades ago. (so the great majority of the Chinese people support the government.)
@@jenniferzhang864 you need to finish your sentence "....richest country for thousand years until mid 19th century, when China was attacked, invaded, l00ted, drugged by the British Empire, not contend with stealing, they destroyed the old summer palace just because they can, and then to took HK by force. You'd think in time the Brits would feel some remorse, for all the l00ting and k!lling they had done, but no...they orchestrated multiple riots, coups in HK and Tiananmen, terror attacks in XJ." Even today the Brits are practically pouring billions into wars in UKR and funding ge no side of Gazans. UK is a terror sponsor.
This city and the people got immense energy. Like they are surviving in a constant gloomy weather but always putting a smile in their face. These guys has a different definition of life.
warmly welcome😆Since this year, China has opened a visa-free policy for many countries, even if you are not visa-free countries, you can enjoy 144-hour transit visa-free, so it is a good time to come to China. You can ask me for some travel tips if you need them🤝
Funny, I was scrolling through my RUclips page looking for Yan's Unseen China, which I've followed and loved this past couple of years. I saw your page, Drew, which I have also followed for the past few years and came to this video....just awesome. Thanx for your page Drew, it has been a great adventure...peace...
Out of all of the places I've seen you go I think that this is one that I would love to visit. The community the smiles to take care of everything and it is so beautiful.
Je n’avais jamais entendu parler de cette ville étroite où vivent des gens sympathiques continués à nous faire explorer d’autres horizons du monde en ayant le privilège d’être à la maison,je vous en remercie,et que Dieu vous protège.
I'm pretty sure this is one of your best destination. And the whole video looks like a time capsule of 90s. Everybody seems happy. Such a clam place to be ❤ thanks for sharing this experience drew. You are the best
Chinese is the first foreign language I learned and I've always loved the culture, so I really enjoy seeing these videos for quite a few reasons, keep it up Drew
This was so beautiful to watch. I've always had the impression (due to watching lots of videos on China) that people in China were very standoffish and cold. However, this has totally went against all the stereotypes that I was made to believe. These people are so kind and warm and look very happy. I never wanted to go to China but because of this I'm reconsidering.
there's lots of propaganda from paid actors to paint a negative image of china because of the political differences. Real china is nothing like how the west thinks it is. That said, people in big cities are usually quite reserved. If you want to see really friendly people like this, you'll have to go to non-touristy rural areas of china.
This one touched me, ❤ The BEST what a wonderful city with great people. I have seen many videos, about many countries, but none has touched me as much as this one, THANK YOU.
I can see why these people live a long time. They seem so friendly, warm, and happy. Thanks for sharing this video. It's nice to see other countries and way some people live.
No matter what people always talk bad about China, China people are just another level, Very Humble, Friendly, kind and their food it is always fresh and tasty ❤ Chinese people and their food ❤❤❤❤China❤❤❤❤
The generosity, the kindness, the friendliness & their hospitality of the Chinese people makes them wonderful. Thanks Drew for showing us the other side of China. Really an amazing story! 😎❤
Wow, what an absolutely beautiful place. The people are beautiful too! What a dope place. Thanks for the peek into this Drew! Also, the tea was so good because yunnan is like the birthplace of tea as a whole. What a treat you got to enjoy some freshly brewed yunnan tea!
My wife and I love Yan's videos. Her recent ones covering far west China was a real eye opener. Fantastic cinematography. The first time I saw this city was on a Facebook post and I just assumed it was some AI fake.
In small cities in China, it's pretty common to find apartment that look outdated, dusty and messing in the hallway/stairs/outside, but actual homes inside are nothing but modern decorated spaces. I also find it odd, but average folks there are just more tolerate to old/broken/unmanaged public spaces within the building they live in
Awesome! This is truly a special little city and it's people are beautiful and so nice. Thank you for scaring the you know what out of me on your cliff walk too. Excellent. Peace.
Absolutely incredible video. This video has given me a whole new drive, relief, the much needed motivation towards my dreams. It’s incredible to see how much more life we experience by just connecting with nature and people. Great content and very wholesome indeed. The energy in this video is so contagious!❤❤
Vi um video seu no interior do EUA, parecia mais uma depressão com pessoas drogadas. Ai, eu olho para esse vídeo e vejo os chineses felizes em uma cidade pequena, como nós brasileiros. Quando eu era mais novo, pensava que a china era uma tristeza sendo oprimida, mas agora graças a Internet, podemos descordar sobre tudo que venderam para nós quando éramos pequenos.
Welcome to my homeland China! I watched almost all the videos you produced, and I also enjoy the China series very much! Also welcome to visit my hometown-Shanxi Province, which is the area with the longest history in China, and there are so many historical and amazing buildings, cultures, foods, and heritages. It will definitely make you feel that the trip was worth it！
This is probably my favourite vid I’ve seen of Drew. I saw this place on tiktok a few years ago and always wanted to check it out. The place really looks special. These are the kind of surprising places I really loved about China. There are some beautiful and fascinating places you could just live there and be happy.
Thank you, DB, for bringing this video to us. Through your eyes, a lot of us have now seen places we never would have seen, known, or hear about. Thank you ❤
This is an amazing video I'm really enjoying it I grew up in South America Bolivia and everything you're doing reminds me of a lot of places in Bolivia other than this being Chinese so so beautiful unbelievably beautiful

Entering the world's narrowest city is an adventure like no other! The unique architecture, the close-knit community, and the distinct charm of such a compact space are truly captivating. Thank you for sharing this fascinating journey with us! 🌆❤
The criticism from most is not against the Chinese people, who in my experience are some of the warmest, most wonderful people but the Chinese government. Sorry if that doesn't translate well
@@itdadof3 that is a common misdirection from western govts and propaganda, "it's not the people, it is the govt", shows how little you know about China. More than 70% of Chinese people in China are in fact CPC members, China as you know is a ONE party state, its called People's Republic of China, the govt IS the people!!!!. Your rhetoric about "it's not the people, it is the govt" is more apt for the Chinese people, many do not hate western citizens, but rather your idiotic govts and their ge no sidal policies such as those in Gaza. Please do some more research buddy.
Que vídeo maravilhoso! Deu muita vontade de conhecer este lindo lugar, mas principalmente sentir ao vivo a energia alegre da comunidade local ❤ Continue o seu lindo trabalho. Obrigada pela partilha 😊
Ahhh my first introduction to Yanjing was through Yan! I love her channel, she's my favorite. (Sorry Drew haha!) So excited to watch this episode and so happy to see this collab :)
Your visit to Yanjin is truly amazing and fun to watch and learn how peaceful and loving people are there, but I’ll tell you one thing, I would NEVER have gone on that hike up that narrow high mountain, you are VERY BRAVE and so are all the others doing it. Especially your translater as well, omg. BRAVO! Also incredibly low rent but must be according to cost of living all around when a large bowl of healty food is $1 - they’re surely doing something right that we don’t in the Western world.
Thank you Drew, that was a fascinating and inspiring video. It was so lucky you met O, he is a really interesting person. You interpreter is just right to help you meet the local people. They all seem so happy and friendly!
It is so beautiful in the country and I’m sure the food is so amazing & fresh. Completely different than what they show us about China the people are so polite & friendly. Thank you so much for showing us your experience.

Thanks Chinese man number 7.
China is pretty cool. But you are totally a chinese plant 😂
Maybe because its so big, you know... of course its different than other mostly smaller countries.
Everywhere has its good and bad sides. But in America it has become the norm to say that everything about China is bad
China is a very diverse country. The west u got Xinjiang and Tibet, the north u got Inner Mongolia, the east u got Shandong and Shanghai, and the south u got Yunnan and Guangdong...deserts, mountains, rain forests, rivers, seas, u name it!

That guy backpacking across China at such a young age after his mother died is quite a dude! That's one tough guy right there.
No one gives a shit he doing it for money don't make him some hero lol
@@lewyathaneveryone does things for money. It's just that his was one of the admirable ones 🤷🏼♂️
@@lalboimanlun1230 sure i agree but him getting back to it has nothing to do with his mom death
@@lewyathan you know you can also just keep quiet and keep your shitty opinions to yourself?
@@lewyathan ohh you so smart bet you live the happies life.
The generosity, the kindness, the friendliness & their hospitality of the Chinese people makes them wonderful.
Thanks Drew for showing us the other side of China. Really an amazing story! 😎❤
I have always been fascinated by this narrow city and I am happy you made such a cute movie about all the kind people in it!❤️
Wow, what an absolutely beautiful place. The people are beautiful too! What a dope place. Thanks for the peek into this Drew! Also, the tea was so good because yunnan is like the birthplace of tea as a whole. What a treat you got to enjoy some freshly brewed yunnan tea!
My wife and I love Yan's videos. Her recent ones covering far west China was a real eye opener. Fantastic cinematography. The first time I saw this city was on a Facebook post and I just assumed it was some AI fake.
welcome back
Your videos are heart warming. You showing the good in people is a beautiful thing truly. Thank you.
Your videos always make me feel better when I'm down, so relaxing to watch . Thank you
Wow his home was way different than I expected. That's like a proper modern looking home. Kinda caught me by surprise!
I know right?!
Why was it surprising? These are visibly modern buildings from the exterior too. It’s not like ppl there live in mud huts
His home looks like what any average Chinese home in a city would look like
Were you surprised they even have electricity in China! LOL
In small cities in China, it's pretty common to find apartment that look outdated, dusty and messing in the hallway/stairs/outside, but actual homes inside are nothing but modern decorated spaces. I also find it odd, but average folks there are just more tolerate to old/broken/unmanaged public spaces within the building they live in
Awesome! This is truly a special little city and it's people are beautiful and so nice. Thank you for scaring the you know what out of me on your cliff walk too. Excellent. Peace.
Omfg my 2 favorite RUclips travel peeps! I’ve never thought I’d wanna go to China but her videos makes me wanna make the trip
欢迎来中国看看，中国有五十六个民族，悠久的历史文化，美景，食物，现代化交通
Absolutely incredible video. This video has given me a whole new drive, relief, the much needed motivation towards my dreams. It’s incredible to see how much more life we experience by just connecting with nature and people. Great content and very wholesome indeed. The energy in this video is so contagious!❤❤
Vi um video seu no interior do EUA, parecia mais uma depressão com pessoas drogadas. Ai, eu olho para esse vídeo e vejo os chineses felizes em uma cidade pequena, como nós brasileiros. Quando eu era mais novo, pensava que a china era uma tristeza sendo oprimida, mas agora graças a Internet, podemos descordar sobre tudo que venderam para nós quando éramos pequenos.
We have been fooled by western media, who painted China as an evil country, now these bloggers show us the real China, and it surprises most people.
All the same, my stereotype of Brazil comes from the movie "Cidade de Deus"
You need to see the big picture bro@@fantasycelestial2908
My impression of Brazil is football kingdom. When will China's football be strong? I feel sad about the future of China's football
Es una ciudad asombrosa!! Pero lo mas increible y agradable, son las personas que viven en ella. Saludos desde la Riviera Maya 🇲🇽😊
Thank you for taking us along, warms my heart
It’s honestly so nice to see how alive everyone is. And the locals so cool that guy did so much for u just to show ya his cool town
Thank you Drew. This Vedio makes me so touched and appreciative of life which is supposedly be so simple but beautiful.
This is such an amazing place! Forgot the beautiful landscape the people are absolutely incredible! Love from Cape Town ❤
I love the way you always appreciate food and culture of others ❤❤
Welcome to my homeland China! I watched almost all the videos you produced, and I also enjoy the China series very much! Also welcome to visit my hometown-Shanxi Province, which is the area with the longest history in China, and there are so many historical and amazing buildings, cultures, foods, and heritages. It will definitely make you feel that the trip was worth it！
Must say, I guess this video is one best RUclips videos I have watched! Thank you so much for it
That hike was the best! Thr views, the thrill, and the people you met along the way! Amanda and her dog, the bird....so cool!
@littlechineseeverywhere is my favorite! Thanks for including her.
Dude what an amazing experience that must of been, so unique & beautiful 👌🏽🏡
Ive been watching all these vlogs from different youtubers travelling in China, man the locals are all so kind and easy going. its so nice.
Chinese government protects the people from Western media. It will corrupt their minds to know the insanity that occurs in hateful & divided west.
This is probably my favourite vid I’ve seen of Drew. I saw this place on tiktok a few years ago and always wanted to check it out. The place really looks special. These are the kind of surprising places I really loved about China. There are some beautiful and fascinating places you could just live there and be happy.
wow the people are so friendly and happy
Thank you, DB, for bringing this video to us. Through your eyes, a lot of us have now seen places we never would have seen, known, or hear about.
Thank you ❤
This is an amazing video I'm really enjoying it I grew up in South America Bolivia and everything you're doing reminds me of a lot of places in Bolivia other than this being Chinese so so beautiful unbelievably beautiful
Small spaces but huge smiles. What n amazing place
استمر مثل هذه الفديوهات تروح على نفسية الإنسان الذي لا يستطيع الخروج خارج وطنه ويستمتع لمتابعة مصل هذه المقاطع الفديوهات وتسهيل انه في نفس المكان الذي يشاهده شكرا عل هذه الفديو❤
I feel the same way. I live vicariously through other people's travel videos. I probably will not ever get a chance to visit this city in reality, but I can experience it through RUclips lol
This is my new favorite channel. Thank you for spreading the message. We are more the same than different all over the world. Peace. Love. Travel.
The fact that we get free videos on RUclips by Drew is truly a gift; keeping knowledge and entertainment alive. 👍👍👍
It’s beautiful. Someday I will visit China. The kindness of the people is amazing.
warmly welcome😆Since this year, China has opened a visa-free policy for many countries, even if you are not visa-free countries, you can enjoy 144-hour transit visa-free, so it is a good time to come to China. You can ask me for some travel tips if you need them🤝
如果来上海可以来找我
@@Kris-dg5dq be careful
So glad you brought her! Love her vid too. Awesome to learn more about china
Entering the world's narrowest city is an adventure like no other! The unique architecture, the close-knit community, and the distinct charm of such a compact space are truly captivating. Thank you for sharing this fascinating journey with us! 🌆❤
Despite many criticism towards China, Chinese Police are the most helpful and friendly one i have ever seen.😅
if you're black & caught doing this in US, chances are you won't be alive to tell the story.
@@tigading2177ya they would get swiss cheesed
The criticism from most is not against the Chinese people, who in my experience are some of the warmest, most wonderful people but the Chinese government. Sorry if that doesn't translate well
@@itdadof3 that is a common misdirection from western govts and propaganda, "it's not the people, it is the govt", shows how little you know about China. More than 70% of Chinese people in China are in fact CPC members, China as you know is a ONE party state, its called People's Republic of China, the govt IS the people!!!!.
Your rhetoric about "it's not the people, it is the govt" is more apt for the Chinese people, many do not hate western citizens, but rather your idiotic govts and their ge no sidal policies such as those in Gaza. Please do some more research buddy.
@@itdadof3 中国政府把精力用于国内建，美国政府把精力用于挑起世界争端，我不知道中国政府有什么值得批评的
Que vídeo maravilhoso! Deu muita vontade de conhecer este lindo lugar, mas principalmente sentir ao vivo a energia alegre da comunidade local ❤ Continue o seu lindo trabalho. Obrigada pela partilha 😊
The Grandmother at 4:50 saying "America" said it so good omg!
SHE PROBABLY DOESNT WATCH THE NEWS. AMERICA IS THE TROUBLE MAKER OF THE EARTH.
Have only one word. BEAUTIFUL!
I love your excitement for exploration Drew! Enjoying it for 6 years now.
i'm genuinely curious about the world!
Ahhh my first introduction to Yanjing was through Yan! I love her channel, she's my favorite. (Sorry Drew haha!) So excited to watch this episode and so happy to see this collab :)
Your visit to Yanjin is truly amazing and fun to watch and learn how peaceful and loving people are there, but I’ll tell you one thing, I would NEVER have gone on that hike up that narrow high mountain, you are VERY BRAVE and so are all the others doing it. Especially your translater as well, omg. BRAVO! Also incredibly low rent but must be according to cost of living all around when a large bowl of healty food is $1 - they’re surely doing something right that we don’t in the Western world.
This is one of your best videos. Beautiful place!
Indeed. I hope I can travel to China and do what Drew did which is making travel vlog too 🙏
Through my 15 years of life, I've been to China in different places. Its so fun and your experiences reminds me of my lifetime 😢😢😢
Thank you Drew, that was a fascinating and inspiring video. It was so lucky you met O, he is a really interesting person. You interpreter is just right to help you meet the local people. They all seem so happy and friendly!
Wow I was glued to this video. One of my favs that you have done so far!
Thank you!!!
It is so beautiful in the country and I’m sure the food is so amazing & fresh. Completely different than what they show us about China the people are so polite & friendly. Thank you so much for showing us your experience.
É uma cidade surreal.
Há muitas coisas no planeta que precisamos conhecer!
Parabéns pelo canal!!!👍👏
