China From Above - Scenic Travel Documentary

In this scenic travel documentary I take you on an aerial journey through China, one of the world’s most fascinating, beautiful, complex and diverse countries.
From rugged mountain landscapes and beautiful nature reserves to modern skylines of seemingly ever-growing cities. From small, tranquil villages nestled among green rice terraces to walled cities steeped in history, traditions, and culture. From massive industrial complexes and factories to modern office towers and awe-inspiring architecture.
I filmed all footage for this 4K video between 2016 and 2019, on four independent journeys through China. It is accompanied by calm, relaxing music, sometimes with a cinematic, upbeat, or mysterious undertone. For other travel documentaries click here:

Here’s a brief overview of some of the places visited in this video:
After a short introduction, we begin this journey near the spectacular rice terraces of Yuanyang, before moving on to the captivating Buddhist temples of Dali. Via the peculiar Shilin Stone Forest and the ‘Rainbow Mountains’ of Zhangye, we arrive in Guangzhou (Canton), one of China’s largest cities. After the Yellow Mountains national park, and the intriguing ‘tulou’ buildings, we visit the Great Wall and the Leshan Giant Buddha, the largest such statue in the world.
After flying through the ice and snow city of Harbin, where people enjoy a unique Winter event, we take a brief look at the imposing Yellow River, Hukou waterfall, Zhengzhou and Changsha cities, before stopping at the breathtaking Jiuzhaigou national park, filled with crystal clear blue lakes. The next place is the countryside in between rural Yangshuo and urban Guilin, easily one of the most popular tourist destinations in China, where the Li river meanders through bizarre karst scenery.
For more diversity, we travel to Dunhuang to visit the arid Gobi Desert. We also have a look at a solar panel field and windmill park, before we fly over some heavy industry, including a steel factory, coal mine, oil refinery, concrete dam, shipyard, an oil rig, and a massive bridge. Hong Kong is our next destinations, before moving on to several places along the Yangtze river (or its distributaries), including Tiger Leaping Gorge, Chongqing, and Wuhan.
On Hainan island we see the ‘tropical’ side of China, while in Xiahe and Tibet we visit the country’s highlands. From the frozen cities of Jilin and Xining we arrive in Qingdao, with its German colonial architecture and coastal vibe. In Macau we fly over the famous casinos, but also visit the Portuguese quarters, and after the rice fields of Longji (Dragon’s Backbone), we increase our altitude in the Yulong national park.
After Hangzhou and Shenyang, we briefly look at one of China’s many ‘ghost towns’ and construction sites, before flying on to the surreal pillars of Zhangjiajie, and the (perhaps) equally stunning skyline of Shanghai. After showing the modern part of the city and the port (harbor), we also explore some of the disappearing neighborhoods, destroyed factories, and the strange looking ‘bicycle graveyard’.
From the freezing ‘Xuexiang’ village and walled city of Pingyao we continue our journey in Xian, Shenzhen, Suzhou, and Changzhou. Finally, we take a look at the mesmerizing Yuanmou ‘Earth Forest’, Kunming city, and Lijiang, one of China’s most famous historic towns.

I'm a native of China, and I'm glad to see such a wonderful film here. The real China is even more beautiful than the film. When I see the western media constantly smearing China, I'm actually very sad. In fact, China people are very friendly. As long as you respect China people equally, you will feel our enthusiasm in China. I hope foreign friends will not look at China with colored glasses, and finally welcome everyone to visit China.

La Propaganda Occidental (USA), le ha hecho suponer que China es un "Estado Fallido". Pero no es así. Es todo lo contrario al Fracaso. Por donde quiera que se aprecie, aquí en China se ve el “Progreso y Crecimiento”. China es un país fantástico. Su pueblo es único en muchos sentidos. Esta nación es ancestral, pero en serio Muy Ancestral. China es 2,000 años más antigua que el Imperio Romano. Los Romanos ya desaparecieron y los Chinos siguen vigentes como pueblo, aferrados a su enorme Herencia Cultural. Gracias a esto, los Chinos han superado cantidad de broncas internas. Las más severas iniciaron en el siglo XVIII y terminaron en el siglo XX, cuando su territorio fue ocupado por 6 potencias europeas (más Japón), que la destrozaron, la corrompieron, y la envilecieron con Opio. Aún y toda la ruina y decadencia que padecieron, ellos sobrevivieron. Pese a guerras y más guerras, resistieron. Mire acá: Apenas iniciado el siglo XX, entre los años 1911-1949, hubieron: --Revolución de Xinhai, con el fallido Golpe de Estado del nuevo Imperio ("Muera Qing Manchú. Viva el Nuevo Han"). --Segunda revolución de Xinhai. --Guerra de Unión para la protección nacional en contra de las potencias extranjeras. --Las luchas internas de los "Señores de la Guerra" en China. --Guerra de Otoño de 1927. Luego: --Primer Frente Unido. Expedición al Noroeste. --Protección contra el Imperio de Japón en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. --Segundo Frente Unido. --Segunda Guerra Civil China. ¡Tremendo desgaste! Después de 38 años de guerras continuas, les llegó la "Gran Hambruna" (1959-1961). El "Gran Salto Adelante", de Mao. Con una mortandad de casi 2 millones de Chinitos. Aunque la Propaganda nos ha hecho creer que se murieron de hambre 10 millones. Como si 2 millones no fuese una cantidad terrible. ¡Horrorosa! En fin. Sigo: En 1971, y según la OCDE, China ocupaba el lugar 44 de las economías mundiales. Ya para 1999, China estaba en el quinto puesto. En tan sólo tres décadas, China había logrado sacar de la pobreza a 800 millones de Chinos. Semejante hazaña se logró con TRABAJO y con DISCIPLINA. Hoy, China ocupa el segundo lugar... y esto lo consiguieron sin atacar a nadie, sin tirar un maldito cañonazo, sin Robar ni recursos ni territorios, sin invadir, y sin romperle las pelotas a sus vecinos. Con todo lo dicho, ¿acaso no es para hacerles a ellos una reverencia de reconocimiento? China es un país admirable. China pasó de la "Gran Hambruna" a súper potencia en 30 años. En seguida, puso en órbita su propia Estación Espacial construida en tan sólo 20 meses, para luego poner a 6 robots avanzados sobre la superficie de Marte. Una proeza increíble que se consiguió sin fastidiar a nadie. Sin meterse con nadie. ¡Ah! Pero a Occidente (USA), no le gustó nada de lo que China había logrado. Por lo tanto, para el año 2002, se preparó una campaña de PROPAGANDA (Recuerda la campaña de Propaganda contra Irán: "Armas de Destrucción Masiva", ¿del 2003? Pues igual con China) ... Propaganda para convencernos de que en China se esclavizaba; de que se traficaba con órganos infantiles; de que no se respetaban los Derechos Humanos ni los Derechos Civiles. (¡Jáh! Sí, como no). Convencernos de que en la “Gran Hambruna” murieron de hambre 10 millones, luego que 25 millones, después que fueron 100. ¡Carajo! Como si casi 2 millones de Chinos muertos por hambre no fuera un número espantoso. La Propaganda buscaba escandalizar, pero, en las Olimpiadas de Beijín 2008, todo eso, se derrumbó por la fuerza de los Hechos Verificables. Incluso hoy, intentan convencernos de que China, muy pronto, colapsará económicamente. Pues no se mira cómo, porque a veinte años después del inicio de las campañas difamatorias, vemos que China no ha parado de crecer. Su Clase Media es saludable y con movilidad en ascenso. Y en vez de irse a la baja, China repunta para ocupar el primer lugar de las Economías Mundiales. Lo dicho aquí, es una Verdad Absoluta y no Propaganda. China no ROBA ni territorios ni recursos a nadie. China no interfiere en los asuntos internos de ninguna nación. China no es ni Imperialista ni Colonialista. Mucho menos es Expansionista. China, ni siquiera en 1,000 años ha invadido a nadie en el mundo. Nunca. ¡Eso Jamás lo ha hecho! ¿Sabe usted cuántas Bases Militares tiene China fuera de su propio territorio? Ninguna. Cero. ¡Nada! China no ataca. China es un país respetuoso con todos, y es un ejemplo para todo el mundo. En cambio, Estados Unidos en apenas 250 años como nación, han “Crecido” 711 veces el tamaño de su territorio, partiendo de sus 13 colonias originales. EU tiene casi 800 Bases Militares esparcidas por todo el planeta. De esas 800, los EU tienen 93 Bases frente a China. Y es ¡AQUÍ! aquí mismo en donde está el problema con los Estados Unidos frente a China: Su Miedo. ¡Su Gran Miedo! Dado que el Imperio yanqui se construyó gracias a la Piratería, a la Esclavitud, al Genocidio, al Asesinato de Líderes de Gobierno, al Tráfico de Opio y de Cocaína; al ROBO de materias primas por la entrega y la debilidad de muchas naciones soberanas sometidas, ellos le temen al Crecimiento de China. Le temen, porque piensan que China se comportará del mismo modo que los Estadounidenses. Y no. China NO es lo mismo que EU. Para China el “Progreso y Crecimiento”, se logra con trabajo y no subyugando y avasallando a los demás. “Progreso y Crecimiento” se trata de alcanzar un Futuro mejor. Se trata de que la gente viva bien, sin hambre, sin ignorancia y sin pobreza. Y eso, se puede conseguir, así, como lo están haciendo los Chinos: Sin Joder a Nadie.

Wow China is a Beautiful Country. Thank you.

[@jasminejia7391]

Thank you for making such a wonderful documentary for my beloved country. My country China is a very fantastic country with many beautiful natural landscapes, historical places, long and gorgeous history and charming cultures. However, these days because of some political problems, many people think of China negatively which makes me upset. So thank you for showing how beautiful my country is.

[@theharshtruthoutthere]

Why are we all trying to fit in and be again and again part of this insanely fallen world? Why not listen OUR MAKER and come and keep being fully out from BABYLON which is this soon to be fully digital world?. Bible verses related to Not Fitting In from the King James Version John 15:19 - If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 2 Timothy 3:12 - Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 1 Peter 2:19-21 - For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. (Read More...) Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 2 Corinthians 6:14 - Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 - Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, (Read More...) Genesis 1:26-27 - And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (Read More...) 2 Thessalonians 2:3 - Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Hebrews 10:25 - Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Believing not the lies of this world nor taking part from it`s affairs (stop voting for good, stop protesting, leave 9 -5 jobs, schools, throwing out the TVs from the households to keep themselves far from consuming this worlds entertainments). Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Many souls, quick to call themselves “christians” but are not busy being one In reality also: GOD expect the souls who follow His son, CHRIST JESUS to do the WILL OF HIS HEAVENLY FATHER: - keep the 10 commandments (including a resting in every 7th day of the week), - preach the gospel to all creatures (a job for the male side of human population as we read that females: 1 Timothy 2:12 - watch the signs which GOD shall send, - expose the evil doers (the masons and their master) Why many don´t bother to seek out what Christianity is truly about?
