Accurate English and Chinese simplified translate are now available on todays video! I hope they're alright :D

When traveling in high-altitude areas, it's a good idea to bring a small canister of oxygen, especially if you're on your own

[@echozhao3124]

you are a brave man. this worth millions views.

[@lexyyy6976]

9:39 That sign is actually asking you to protect forests and prevent forest fires 🤣

[@mollyjosefinjansson5968]

The amount of sidewalks/pathways everywhere is impressive. To many places makes walking impossible, even in cities.

[@Yulu-nv7gx]

25:09 I really like the style of your videos! ❤They have a relaxed sense of humor. Additionally, I have been to your country, Ireland, and visited Limerick. I also watched hurling there; it was beautiful and very interesting!

[@ramblingbard]

Awh no way!! That’s brilliant! Hope you enjoyed it and hope it didn’t rain too much 😂

[@swiftaustin9438]

The moutains are stunning🥰

[@Whyroses_22]

Do you believe it? In fact, this video is one of the most played videos of yours in China 🇨🇳 . It was a wonderful trip. You are so brave !!!Salute !🎉I'm looking forward more updates of new videos ❤Any type of trip is fine😊

[@ssc-su3xj]

21:50 damn, that waterfall makes me tremble uncontrollably due to my fear of heights.

[@FrankZhang-pj9nn]

I went to there 18 years ago but different route, I hope I'll be there and follow your route.

[@patriciaoreilly5655]

Really enjoyed that video 😊

[@aranthos]

Brilliant looking hike, surprised the hotels were so nice. Would love to do it someday!! 🎉

[@knoxdeep]

That's awesome! I think your experience has surpassed 95% of Chinese people.

[@ramblingbard]

Hopefully everyone gets to see these sorts of places once in their life, there’s so many cool and diverse things to see!

[@sang7713]

徒步这项运动在中国并不流行。

[@knoxdeep]

@@sang7713 大概十二年前露营探险活动相对比较自由，但是随着政府管理的加大，很多景区已经不允许你自由挑选地方露营，就算进了沙漠里，都有人跟着管理你。

[@Sfran_]

@@knoxdeep因为有很多驴友出了意外。还有很多驴友自己没足够的经验还硬要去“冒险”，大量救援人员冒着风险辛苦的去寻找他们。也有一些驴友素质堪忧，露营和徒步时乱丢垃圾，污染环境

the view can called "日照金山“ , so beautiful

Love your journey so much!

Awh I’m so so glad Stella! Thank you for watching along it means a lot! 💚

[@ricebeansrockroll882]

That hotel is so much nicer than any hotel/hostel I've stayed in when hiking somewhere! Looks so luxurious! Would not mind a week with some books there.

[@ramblingbard]

It was a *little* pricey at around €120 a night but it was so clean and well made! Of course, the view is incredible too! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@enming-hb6db]

really brave,splendid spectacle

[@rongu79376]

MeiLi snow mountain and Tiger Leaping Gorge, these are the most iconic nature resorts in Yunnan, however the most popular tourist destinations are still Dali and Lijiang.

[@willin4222]

A very stunning mountain, watching it heart wrenching💓~Looking forward to the next episode😍

[@ramblingbard]

Next one up in about an hour! (Albeit a short one that I didn’t plan to do 😂)

You're so brave, I mean when you climb the ladder😮

[@ramblingbard]

Haha I won’t lie, half way up I thought maybe it wasn’t such a good idea 😂

[@maneil9297]

Wow, what a hike

[@Sfran_]

31:54 That sign means that you should not climb over the rails. Loose translation haha. I think that many signs are not only work as a warning, also a disclaimer, like that ‘no swimming’ sign. You never know what some people would do…

[@okayyeah-bn8lx]

Some Chinese viewers hope you to climb Huashan Mountain when you're in Xi'an! It's a can't-miss tourist attraction for adventurers!

[@ramblingbard]

Unfortunately I tried to fit it in but on this trip it’ll not happen 😔 I really thought I could but with timings it would have been too close to other destinations. Hopefully on the next trip around!

You're a trooper man! Risking life and limb to bring us content lol

[@michaelzning]

It's a dangerous region to explore; if you accidentally fall into those mountain streams, nobody would be able to rescue you, and you may get attacked by wild animals at night.

[@dawnduskeveryday]

amazing view ! But be careful

[@danZeng-fw8ml]

Keep going 🎉

[@ramblingbard]

Struggle on! 😂

[@AmyFan-kz8vn]

You are totally different from other visitors in China, who want to explore cities and food. Enjoy youself in China.

[@suncarus897]

Now I understand why you always get lost in the city. The wilderness is calling you.

[@ramblingbard]

Haha that’s it!!

[@hooedge7341]

WOW✔That's awesome !

[@ianli2156]

Nice work, bravo! It's even more developed there than my visit about 11yrs ago. As a nerd and newbie of hiking, without knowing this is a famous (entry-level) hiking route, I just want to visit some scenic spot to fill the 1-2 days gap of my first Yunnan tour. Unprepared, I arrived and started late, in the afternoon. In afraid of that I can't make the middle way town before dark, I rode the horse/donkey. 😅 Anyway, the view is still astonishing. The galaxy is very clear during the night there. I would like to visit there again.

[@Leslie_Wu0406]

your vlogs and videos were shared and quite popular in Chinese KZbin-like website named Bilibili. and you are known as the Irish Lost Man as you often navigated yourself into the nowhere. anyway, i myself enjoyed watching your video a lot. i like the way you are travelling just to ramble and speak out your instant reactions and subtly mental world to your audience. that is fascinating.

[@binhe6500]

funniest solo hiker 😂

[@ZihanChan]

this video is watched by over 15k people in bilibili. I like your humor 😂

[@ramblingbard]

Aha awesome!! Thanks for watching 😃

it is interesting that you are actually interacting with other human being. 😇

[@jintaoluo2711]

Hi bro, I think someone forwarded your videos to other platforms in China, so I can find your channel in youtube. Nice video and great explores in China. Maybe you can ask a help for local people or translation tools, and I noticed that you might do something wrong because you dont understand no photos, Do not enter in chinese🤣

[@YINGYIN-lp7hc]

like your video so much 😊

Thank you so much 😀

😂 I was so disappointed…

[@ronlaijl]

Those valiant sticks are prayers,dont move them.

[@ramblingbard]

Don’t worry, they were kept firmly in place!

[@user-eg8ku9vi4k]

@@ramblingbard 26:47 ，I can tell you the correct answer, in many scenic spots in China, you can see these sticks under big stone, they are not used for support or prayer, but actually as a cheap way for monitor, if the sticks breaks, it means that the stone has moved, the geology may change, and the staff will pay attention to it.

[@laihesong2584]

Could not believe that you understand what the local said😂

[@ramblingbard]

Haha I gave the illusion maybe :D I think the was talking about the local town and the walnuts but I really didn't have much of an idea. She was very nice though!

[@pollygreen9832]

Did you really complete the entire journey on foot? I admire your perseverance.

[@ramblingbard]

Yep! But I won’t lie, my legs were not prepared for it. 😂 I still think the first part of the hike from the small village to the first guest house was the toughest part but was also the nicest as there was no one else on that trail, really peaceful.

wonderful 🎉
