[@metacomputist]

Those "ducks" are 鸳鸯 (yuanyang). The bird of love in Chinese culture. They are symbols of love in traditional customs because a couple of yuanyang are always for a lifetime. Newly wedded human couples are sometimes given pillow cases or quilts with yuanyang embroidery as wedding gifts. 😊　kzbin.infojvWLEgn64eU

[@metacomputist]

And yes, technically they belong to the duck family. A few years ago, there was once a yuanyang that showed up in Central Park in New York City and made it to the news.

[@TravelWithSoph]

That’s so beautiful. Thank you for letting me know

[@nobodyleung6846]

suggest you visiting Xinjiang, another gorgeous place in China where people live/can live happily

[@mikeliu-te3vk]

Those are mandarin ducks. They are symbols of lovers/couple. I haven't been to this pagoda. It looks great.

[@TravelWithSoph]

Wow! Thank you for letting me know. The pagoda is definitely worth a visit

You both are cute and very nice. Great friendship. How come it was so cold in April in Hangzhou?

[@TravelWithSoph]

Thank you! This was actually in January, it just took me a while to post the video

[@hodgenhe]

Those ducks are called 鸳鸯(mandarin duck)

[@TravelWithSoph]

Oh wow amazing, thank you for letting me know! So beautiful

[@hodgenhe]

@@TravelWithSoph The Chinese refer to Mandarin ducks as yuanyang (simplified Chinese: 鸳鸯; traditional Chinese: 鴛鴦; pinyin: yuānyāng), where 'yuan' (鴛) and 'yang' (鴦) respectively stand for male and female mandarin ducks. In traditional Chinese culture, mandarin ducks are believed to be lifelong couples, unlike other species of ducks. Hence they are regarded as a symbol of conjugal affection and fidelity, and are frequently featured in Chinese art.

[@TravelWithSoph]

[@高強-c5y]

China's brilliant and ingenious move to grant foreign tourists a 144 hour visa free transit tourism policy immediately shattered the long-standing anti China public opinion in the United States and the West, quickly reversing China's image and becoming the largest free publicity campaign in history!!! Looking across the vast land of China, there are majestic plateaus, undulating mountains, vast plains, gentle hills, as well as surrounding mountains and a flat basin in the middle. There are 5 basic landform types on land worldwide, all of which are distributed in China! The Chinese Mainland has natural landscapes full of diversity and characteristics, and many of them still remain primitive and appear in the original ecology. Their natural landscapes often have high aesthetic value, which makes people feel relaxed, happy, and open-minded. For example, the country is rich in countless natural beautiful scenes and styles, including mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, grasslands, deserts, glaciers, and so on. The people of all ethnic groups in the country have also learned, supported, and practiced various concepts and habits of respecting, conforming to, and protecting nature in their daily lives since childhood. The national government keeps pace with the times, earnestly grasps the integrity, systematicity, and inherent laws of the ecosystem, adheres to the integrated protection and systematic governance of mountains, waters, forests, fields, lakes, grasses, sands, and ice, implements high-quality ecosystem protection and restoration projects, and enhances national ecological security; The central and local governments are also actively promoting the implementation of various large and small projects for the integrated protection and restoration of mountains, waters, forests, fields, lakes, grasses, sands, and ice. Let us work together to achieve the great goal of a beautiful China and benefit future generations! As we all know, Chinese Mainland has long been a must see place for tourists from all over the world. They have long been interested in visiting the land of China. They are eager to explore and understand a country with a high level of civilization and culture, experience and appreciate the ancient civilization with a culture of 5000 years, and hope to get a glimpse of the leopard through one or even more trips to China. In fact, it is full of cultural landscapes and beautiful scenery like stars. Tourists from all over the world, whether domestic or overseas, can travel all over the country and enjoy the scenery of lakes and mountains. Tourists from all over the world can be fascinated, linger and forget to leave! In addition, tourism facilities are complete in various parts of China today, with clean and hygienic areas, comfortable accommodation, convenient transportation, public security and safety, as well as a wide variety of food, entertainment and shopping options, making tourists feel at home

Was this video actually taken in April '23? Is Hangzhou actually still that cold in April?

[@TravelWithSoph]

It was taken in January during the Spring Festival holiday. I put some exact dates in the video😊

[@andrewzhang985]

The population of Hangzhou is 12 millions, not the 8 millions you said in this video.

[@TravelWithSoph]

The information I saw must be outdated
