Fell in love with a Hotel in Rural China! The Brickyard at Mutianyu

[@yvonnebirch6026]

What a beautiful place and you looked so lovely in that environment !! This was 2 years ago. I am catching up with your interesting video’s. How brave you are Miriam to live in another culture in a totally different country ! You found a lovely family and your husband looks so cute and kind. Your baby is beautiful ! I am so glad I found you. 🙏💕🌷

[@hijabigirl18]

It's such a beautiful place. Hope to see you and your family travel to many beautiful places and explore the culture .

[@eddiegerahty3454]

Your husband is so handsome! You really know how to pick the man. Good taste!

[@MiriamFollin]

Haha, thank you!

[@zylbygdfn6542]

Just want to say ur boy is such a happy, adorable & beautiful baby.

[@gizmogoose.2486]

Both your shooting and editing are *very* *Pro* *!!!* _Thanks for including the baby Boy. Our grandson lives in Colorado and we don't see him often...so getting to just see a happy little face means a lot!_

[@gua2968]

I am a Chinese and my girlfriend is a German. I have watched a lot of your videos. Hope we can have a happy family like you in the future

[@Latorre20111]

[@Athrunwong]

Is it cold in autumn? Stay warm, love how you dress. San san is adorable, love his smile. By the way, don’t call yourself a “foreigner” anymore...you’re a local.

[@catfish9868]

[@kennethl4172]

The Brickhouse and food looks amazing. I see Sansan enjoying his plate too. Thank you share such an amazing place.

[@Nicofilms]

I loved the angles you did in this Miriam they were really nice! We loved our visit to the Brickyard too! It was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding. I just can't get over how cute Sansan is, you will have so many nice videos of him forever.

Thank you Miriam I really enjoyed your video. What a beautiful place to stay. I'll put it on my list of to dos. SanSan is gorgeous little boy.. You have a lovely little family.🤗🥰 from Australia...

[@thomashudden8308]

The baby is adorable and cute couple keep posting good job I every time see the video really enjoyed.

[@paecpc]

The husband is quite macho looking, but certainly a hands on father; always seen carrying his son and playing with him. Nice! And the son has his father’s face shape, but the Western version..adorable! The place looks chic and romantic captured through your lens, it does not look like in China. Looks a nice place for couple! Thanks anyway!

[@juliad.6372]

Well it looks like China It is China,..has amazing history maybe do some reading of history...to know...

Miriam you and your special stories of the people you love, tastes and smells has encouraged me to live slower, more authentic and to live in the moment.

[@jeremydealtry8365]

I love your baby, San San, he is so adorable! ❤

[@lowenblade4088]

Great to see your husband learning English. Is he also learning Swedish from you?

[@midwestmeiliguo]

Your baby is so cute! He makes me smile. :-)

[@sombrerogalaxy1]

Beautiful place. Such fresh wholesome food. Hope to check this resort out next time I visit Beijing.

[@MiriamFollin]

You should, its amazing! They also hold events, and have their restaurant open for everyone to visit (it's small though, so booking in advance might be a good idea!)

[@janemagboul3421]

oh, i will add this place on my bncket list. God bless you.....and your beautiful family.

[@hingchichik7222]

[@cottonconfections7188]

I think the colour work yoke sweater your husband was wearing in the video is Riddari. Did you knit it? It's lovely!

[@a.l.s.i.4601]

Beautiful place, beautiful family and you seem to be very happy. I wish you all the best! Your videos are very well done, congratulations! ❤️❤️🇺🇾

[@lhyu4254]

Pretty awesome video! As you prefer some natural and peaceful places, do you plan to visit west part of China like Yunnan Province, there are so many beautiful villages .

[@CCMphilip]

Superb videography plus music mix plus great commentaries. Keep it up.. !

极好的影片！ 你只需稍微留意生活，将对生活的热爱注入平淡无奇的日子里，努力地将每一天都过成不一样的、有意义的节日，那么，你也可以收获更多平静、自在和从容。😄

[@georgeandbush]

Did you edit the video yourself? I have watched a few of your videos. You have a rather calm personality. It is good that you can call China home and surrounded by a wonderful family!

[@blueskygarden]

Your son is very cute.

[@slaw2224]

Thank you for you post! What a lovely place and I feel like packing up and move there right away!

[@wind7519]

You and your family are beautiful! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I hope this place at least gave you guys a discount haha seeing how you're giving them free advertisement. Not that they need it though. I'm sure the founders were already rich prior to founding the resort.

[@MiriamFollin]

Actually I don't think they were rich. They were "comfortable", had a steady income etc. But this began on a small scale in part a collaboration with the local government to provide local jobs! I will tell more of that story in my video for China Matters, but it will probably not be up until next year!

[@ronlai4802]

Love your video, keep it up. Good music also...

[@joanajoyyee9490]

such a sweet relationship...

[@themontephone875]

Beautiful! And nothing like a toddler giggling in the background. I love the way you had layers of editing! What a way to create isolation. Brickyard. I’m more relaxed than before. Wow! That Great Wall is great.

[@christinecervantes3722]

The Brickyard is SO expensive to stay there! I"m very surprised by the rates.

[@MiriamFollin]

It is expensive, yes. This is the kind of place I'd go to on a honeymoon or if celebrating something very special! But the reason is clear, I think. They have high standard on everything, and also eco friendly. They pay fair prices and care well for staff, buildings, the grounds, the customers and the whole experience. If more hotels and resorts began having the same standard and thus became the norm, I'm sure it wouldn't feel as expensive! 💕

[@toya2277]

That is cheap compare to the US. A regular hotel is $150-$300 a night.

[@BenBen-bt9to]

Beautiful.

Beutifull place ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jovidancefreak]

Just curious, how do u adjust to the toilet situation in rural china? As far as i know, they dont have proper toilets and still shower using buckets of water?

[@MiriamFollin]

We have an outside toilet, and I think that's fine, although it is quite cold in winter haha. We have a normal shower! But I don't shower every morning like in Sweden, it's usually too cold. And I always wash my hair separately, in the sink.

[@susanly4941]

I think I saw the making of the Brickyard in the series " foreigners in China"

[@rickr9435]

you husband has the face of finishing a full jar of Bai Jiu without any problem. but he turns out doesn't like alcohol at all. and Sansan can almost walk now?

[@MiriamFollin]

Correct on both! He drank alcohol before, but he just doesn't like it anymore, and the less he drinks it, the worse it tastes haha.

[@MiriamFollin]

Yes, for sure. I think he really referred to his own situation, his own mother cooking for him. And how he misses that, and how much he could feel his mother's love through the food she made him! I think it might be more clear in the longer version of the interview.
