Beautiful scenery, looking forward to the next video

[@andre5095]

Thanks for watching!

The infrastructures are so good even in such a rural area.

[@andre5095]

Yes, it's very developed in such rural areas. The roads are also very good.

Nice vlog, 江健. Thank you. Your English accent is a lot less Aussie and blends in well with the U.K. and American accents. You got me confused a bit initially. It is pretty cool to see all these beautiful sceneries. I live in Yangshuo, Guangxi, one of the multitude of stunning spots in China. I was in Sichuan's JiuZaiGou and visited HuangLong Park (Yellow Dragon 黃龍) with my friend in the dead of winter to avoid massive crowds. HuangLong gave me attitude sickness and I had to sit in taxi and strapped an small canister of oxygen to my face, while my friend from the States (I am Chinese American) roamed around the park with a guide in the snow (just two if them in the whole park!), and she sprang her ankle by stepping into a hole covered with snow. Our Tibetan taxi driver and I had to endure 3 hours of painful moaning on our way to JiuZaiGou. We had wonderful interactions with several Tibetan families and ate with them. While you are in China, I also recommend ZhangJiaJie, the spot that inspired the movie Avatar. There are almost endless spots of beauty in China with different foods, culture, language, and customs. That spot is closed now due to COVID. Appreciate you taking the effort to make these videos. I know it takes a lot of work. Hope you enjoy making them despite the tediousness. Give me a shout when you are coming to Yangshuo. Cheers, mate.

Nice video and fitting background music!

[@andre5095]

Thank you :)

Beautiful scenery. Thanks.

Amazing journey to the Tibetan highlands. Thanks for showing us around. Also nice and closer to Chengdu is the city of Leshan with the Giant Buddha and the boutique hotels close to it. And Emei mountain, one the big four mountains in Taoism. And China definitely needs foreign tourists. It adds tourism revenue and contributes to a more positive image of China outside of China. National Discovery type of documentaries about China are no longer being made and so many positive changes are happening in China, unknown to the outside world, and Western mainstream media is only reporting negative things. So we go to KZbin and vloggers like you.

Hi Andre! My wife and I just discovered your channel. She's Chinese and unfortunately we haven't been able to go back to China to see family since 2019. It is difficult for me as an Aussie to get a visa and we were playing around with the idea of me doing a TEFL and getting a teaching job there and us just moving there. Watching your vids has us inspired to actually do it. I've been looking around and it seems hard to find a good reputable online TEFL course. Just wondering which one you did and if you recommend it? Apologies for the long comment.

[@canalesjuan356]

Enjoy your trip there. There are more places to explore.

[@sayaandyangsaya2756]

Beautiful scenery.

[@longyou8254]

Got to be hot at this time of the year except up high in the mountain

[@beautifulportland9592]

Interesting that you where on the same trip as a earlier traveler: What are the odds of that in a county with 1.3 Billion people . . . thats for posting beautiful area!

[@mglee1431]

Very suitable and nice background music in your video. I love to visit more of such remote places in China but as a foreigner have headache with payment and hotel too. Till now I have yet to figure out how to get wechat pay working as we don't have Chinese account etc etc, so having to carry more rmb cash. Money changer or changing currency is another headache when I found out they only except USD.

[@zl7491]

You should go check out Xinjiang as well. Different terrain and climate, but equally beautiful.

[@user-ey8ki8zd7x]

For your question about Tibetan people in Sichuan. Tibet can be divided into 3 sub-cultural areas, including Tibet(or U-Tsang), Kangba and Amdo. In terms of administration division, Tibet(U-Tsang) is the autonomous district of Tibet, and Amdo is Qinghai Province, while Kangba is incorporated into Sichuan Province. Due to geographical proximity, Kangba Tibetan people have frequent communications with Sichuan people, and actually most Kangba Tibetan people speak Sichuan dialect as well as Tibetan.

[@firefly4784]

The houses along the highways are so big... The styles of buildings become very different from those in other cities of China...

[@taiwaing5410]

👍👍👍

[@alvinyao1780]

[@firefly4784]

There are big mountains in Sichuan. Ethnic minorities usually live in those big grasslands, deserts, mountains.

[@zhangburnham7226]

Welcome to Sichuan

[@good2freelance1]

I can see the style of video editing is different from the Barrett channel :)

[@andre5095]

I can see that now haha.

[@derek849]

U didn’t feel cold at all wearing that thin clothes?

[@randomname931]

[@bennytandra6436]

You could just fly to daocheng.. they have airport there (the highest airport in the world!)

[@tulao3224]

The highest airport I thinks is in Shiquanhe in Ali Tibet, no?)

[@andre5095]
