You are very welcome!

Looks great. Thanks for these videos I'll be moving to Nanjing in a few months, and its been nice to get a bit of heads-up on what's its like

[@xiaoandmatt]

You are very welcome!

[@blackandblue2884]

This is one of the main reasons why I choose to live in Nanjing. You don't usually have this kind of place in other cities. Watching your vlog kinda makes me homesick when I'm abroad. Thank you for sharing.

[@xiaoandmatt]

I know the feeling! Thanks for the comment!

Really nice video ! I like the way you mix in the drone footage and also use the arrow to point out certain places, very informative! I didn't realise how old the lake / park was! I'm not sure I've explored that forest area, I'll have to go check it out, it looks really peaceful and beautiful. I love the trees alongside the ancient wall.

[@xiaoandmatt]

Thanks for the comment. Get there and make a video. It is a really beautiful park.

bring back a lot of memories to the lake. From train station, you used to be able to take a ferry to the park. Every spring, there was a flower exhibition on one of the islands. In my childhood, I remembered watching open field movie at the grass lawn on xuan wu lake. It looks very different now though

[@xiaoandmatt]

I would love to see videos of the park from back then.

[@phu004]

As someone who grow up in Nanjing, this brings back so much my childhood memory!

[@xiaoandmatt]

What years did you used to visit this park?

[@phu004]

​@@xiaoandmatt pretty much every year before I went over sea in 2001

[@huijiange7870]

thanks for sharing this video Matt, very nicely made! I try to be there every time I come back to Nanjing

[@xiaoandmatt]

Thanks for the comment!

You're lucky to have such a beautiful park in the city. At 14:42 the boat is probably practicing for the May 5 (lunar calendar) dragon-boat race.

[@xiaoandmatt]

I think you may be right and I agree! Having a park like this is a huge plus to living in Nanjing.

can u fly the drone over the lake? thank u for being there! my home is 10 mins walk to jie fang men. Dame ,miss my home so much! thank u thank u

[@xiaoandmatt]

Yes sure. If I wasn't allowed the drone wouldn't take off. All of the restricted zones disable the drones from taking off.

[@premium9997]

First 👍

[@parker2336]

I like your video, and I am going to talk about this lake in my IELTS test, you give me this inspiration! Thank you.

[@xiaoandmatt]

You’re welcome!!!

[@sayda12-j5l]

[@xiaoandmatt]
