China‘s Secret Corner: Former French Colony at The Southernmost Point of Mainland China🇨🇳

[@Johnnydoenyc]

Another great place to explore. My in-laws go back at least twice a year and have been doing it for 15 years. They keep telling us that they will never see all of China.

[@thisiskevin1000]

Until younger generation leveraging social media platforms vlogging.

[@jiayiandjulieinchina]

Yeah, I think even living here, seeing it all will take a lifetime 😊

[@alfong8279]

Really enjoyed your video of this former colony and especially the background music of Debussy and Beethoven, too.

[@jiayiandjulieinchina]

@@alfong8279 So glad you liked it!

[@jenme4796]

My friend shared this video with me, her mother was born there when it was a French colony and now we all reside in North America, please make more videos of traveling to unit places in China.

[@JJr-ce3vv]

Very good view point, great volgs! 👍

[@jiayiandjulieinchina]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@brianlee844]

the area is so relaxing and can visit to Honai Province Sanya to enjoy sunshine and beach!

Hainan海南

Thanks to getting me to know zhanjiang. I had a good friend from there, but just know there's a lot of sea food, farming, but never know it was a colony before! I'm from Hong Kong, so know about colonial culture where east meets west. Would put this on my to go list to check it out.

[@markshu8704]

Your video is so healing.

[@gingermintrose]

You are so gorgeous with those flower headdress!

[@jiayiandjulieinchina]

Thank you! Hopefully, I can try it in Fujian, where it actually is from, one day 😊

[@ALIEN_857]

Seems like every part of China has its own unique cultural diversity.

[@jiayiandjulieinchina]

They do. I'd say the cultural diversity is similar to that of different countries in Europe 😊

[@pinotnoir3654]

Another fascinating vlog! My parents are from Guangzhou so we definitely have ties to that region. Putting it on the destination list for sure. Though I don't think I will try the sandworms. I think Julie is more adventurous than me with food. 😆

[@isaacstone7899]

I still like shrimp cake as I used to eat it when I was young.

[@chufang50]

Peaceful, relaxing, clean🎊🎈💐 what’s more can you ask for?😊🎉

[@jurrasicpig2426]

I love cows! they are so gentle and elegant, and cute! of course, when they are not agitated hahah

[@jiayiandjulieinchina]

They are so sweet! If I could, I'd have a couple walking around in our community. Not sure our neighbors would love it as much as I would 😂

[@linus631]

Great video, informative & fun! Thank you for sharing! Please keep up the good work! ❤😊

[@jiayiandjulieinchina]

Thank you so much! ❤😊

[@Xiaoxiaow0099]

WOW

[@maradon385]

I believe their local dialect is very similar to those in Hainan which is nearby.

[@timozhou2006]

no

[@avil8686]

Best video 👍

[@jiayiandjulieinchina]

Thank you ❤

[@rayhuang6155]

这是我的家乡😊

[@edwin-qb3lm]

Looks like a bad place to live or build! The guy who lost twenty million in his tourist investment proably was not from there, or he would have known about the typhoon. Nice video as usual! Thanks for sharing and your hard work. 💓♥️🌹🌷👌👍🇨🇳🇨🇳

[@glennyeung3902]

In those years, Zhanjiang （湛江）was a concession, not a colony of France.

[@thisiskevin1000]

Sort of a lease/rent

[@666raki]

same thing

[@gost7213]

Yes, a concession, never a colony…..my grandfather had a shophouse in Zhanjiang

[@jiayiandjulieinchina]

@glennyeung3902 Look at the Museum. The French themselves called it a colony, and so do the officials in China. Let's not whitewash colonialism to make it sound nicer

[@gost7213]

@@jiayiandjulieinchina in school, following British style, we were taught concessions (sooo many enclaves occupied by MANY western powers) all over Mainland China. Well, France had their own way with words…..concession n colony is interchangeable. Classic examples of colonies in the past….british - India, Burma, North America, Australia, New Zealand, etc…….French - Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, swathes of Africa….

[@Princetoksy]

What I don't understand though is that I rarely see Jiayi in most of the videos. I wonder why?🤔

[@jiayiandjulieinchina]

​@@Princetoksy He is the one holding the camera and rarely films himself. I'll try to convince him to show up more 🌸

[@freefree1219]

Maybe because Julie is pretty, er...Jiayi sort of lose out in the race? 😅

[@Princetoksy]

@freefree1219 yeah! Right! May be Chinese people are scared to talk beside beautiful women. I actually watched a film titled butterfly lovers and a girl dressed up as a man, and went to an all male martial art school pretending to be a man. I was really flabbergasted that not one of the males could even tell that she was female. This got me wondering can't Chinese men tell the difference between a girl pretending to be male by just listening to her voice and even her facial structure, don't forget also that girls have titties even though Chinese females don't have them pronounced as other races. Why is this? Just wondering?

[@jeffreysetapak]

雷州半岛？？Leizhou Peninsula??

[@fargr5926]

another place that I haven't visited.

[@whisperlee-py2xb]

很多年前，从海南回来时，路过湛江，印象不深，只是记得当地菜肴比海口的好吃。

[@dser3474]

湛江人欢迎你

[@dser3474]

下次去农村可以坐渡轮去特程岛，就在市区对面，可以去湖光岩看看一个火山玛珥湖，水真的很清澈

[@edvargas3105]

Great video, a really beautiful city. Julie needs to show a little bit of emotion and give more feeling to her voice.

[@joeymelbourne]

wow, what a informative travel section, you really made so much research, did great job. You are really white, you need more sun :)

[@jiayiandjulieinchina]

Ahaha as a redhead unfortunately I can't tan. I'm pasty white for life 😅

[@patrickLAFONT-rh4eg]

Il y a 70 ans, les Français ont été capturés en masse à Diên Biên Phu. Ne parle plus de colonie française.

[@DK-qg4eu]

Would you visit the country Taiwan someday and make videos showing us what it is like there?

[@yummytummy88]

Taiwan is a beautiful place but it's not a country.

[@shawgu9835]

台湾并不是一个国家

[@suckmemore]

u mean little taiwan province! ha......................

[@agussetionoasli]

Maybe you should ask another KZbinr, like "bald and bankrupt" or "Little Chinese Everywhere".
