China is the Best Country in the World now ... They are so much change now in all sagmen .. Good goverment + good comunity + amazing build in everything specially in Economy ... Amazing ❤😊🎉😊😊🎉😊😊🎉😊😊🎉

[@williamvonbaskerville3805]

yes .... indeed .... that´s my opinion,too as a german - i think its the MOST dangerous question for the whole west which they avoid the most: Witch system serves the people most ? ..... and we all know the answer - communist china has won the race, because they mixed both systems together - for all the basic needs like logistic,groceries, good infrastructure, good schools, cheap and green electricity, water supply, ecologic development they used communism to give all a base on which the people can thrive in an individual more capitalistic way - its like: We made all the environment for you and now its your turn to build up your life in it !

You guys are the he best among all foreign bloggers in China, very entertaining and enjoyable.

Lijiang is so beautiful and unique🎉 Thank you for sharing 👍🥰

I love following you guys because you show the places with passion, so much so that I feel like I'm there with you. 😊

[@manuelphotography]

@20:25 Those are actually calligraphy of the Traditional Chinese which is still commonly used (officially) in some parts of Southern China like Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and many China Towns in many countries. So, many Chinese from those regions can actually read those writings hanging on the wall. It looks a bit different than the Simplified Chinese used in the major parts of China nowadays. The whole China used to use Traditional Chinese prior 1950s, before the Simplified Chinese was standardized by the PRC to promote literacy. That is why the writings (Traditional Chinese) on most historical buildings/architectures look a little different than the daily used Simplified Chinese throughout most of the Chinese cities you travelled. The Chinese who learned Traditional Chinese can easily read Simplified Chinese but not the vice versa. The Tomba script (Dongba) you mentioned looks like symbols, it's a type of hieroglyph

[@chiensg]

You are being assumptious! I am sure most Chinese who learned simplified Chinese have no problem reading and understanding traditional Chinese!🙄🥱

I love seeing these traditional old towns! 😊

[@sunkissedbucketlist]

Beautiful aren’t they? 🥰

[@lianesmiley5043]

Ok, I just put Lijiang on my bucket list. China's ancient towns are just so beautiful. I must make a note to visit in October after National holiday so it's not crazy busy. We were in China end of August to mid September and it was boiling hot. We visited Beijing, Shanghai, Hainan Island (was there when Typhoon Yagi hit the island), Chongqing and Zhangjiajie. I plan to go back to China next year and every year lol. So much to see in China!

[@sunkissedbucketlist]

It’s such a big country and has so much to see 🥰 we’ve been 4 times now and still think we’ve only scratched the surface 😂

[@liamporter1137]

Wow. Great sharing. More foreigners should visit China.

[@sunkissedbucketlist]

We agree 👍🏻

[@lindaramos3325]

Hi guys, what a beautiful town. Y'all sure know where to go while in China. Take care

[@sunkissedbucketlist]

Lijiang is definitely gorgeous 🥰🥰

Good afternoon, it's a pleasure to watch your videos. I'm here to catch up with the drama again.

What a beautiful town for a visit or retirement!😊

dongba writing is actually the pictograph writing on the wall that you said very cute artwork, just before you bought the ice cream

[@crystalwang5354]

You guys are very curious and like to explore the world, very nice

[@Dragon-gl1rw]

The drain water is very clear from the mountain. Lijiang had one popular Lijiang Naxi song. They used to have a group of people dressed in tribal blue/white clothing dancing to that song.

The night in Lijiang Old Town is more lively. Have a drink in the bar street. Wear sunscreen in high altitude areas. Have a nice trip!❤🌸👍

[@sunkissedbucketlist]

Sunscreen is very important, something we learnt on this trip 😅 trying to stay away from drinks whilst in Yunnan, we’re going further north and try to acclimatise m, hopefully no altitude sickness 😂

[@HarveyChenBlog]

I have been to Lijiang many years ago. I remember Lijiang old town had many bars which had live bands in the evening. All the alleyways were very crowded. I bought a hand-made scarf with seven different colour straps. Because it kept reminding me of a beautiful song called 彩云之南 which means Yunnan is supposed to be situated at south of colorful clouds.

[@rogershieh9478]

You guys explain it so good😂

[@christinalin5658]

Have you guys been to Pingyao in Shanxi province? It’s an ancient town in north, it’s not just for tourists, people are still living there, you’ll get a totally different vibe. There’re so much to see in Shanxi province, 23 of 30 something scenes in recently super hot video game Black Myth Wukong are in Shanxi Province (山西）。

Come to North east of China, beautiful season of autumn, see the mountain flowing red leaf, eating BBQ beef buffet, taking a hot water bath and sauna. What a refreshing maverick. Come to Weichang manchu mongol autonomous county in Chengde, Hebei Province, not far from Beijing, Take a long ride bus for few hours, please hurry, after 2 weeks when highest temperature of the day is blow freezing, all golden red leaf will fell off.

[@dxJ-qt2th]

What you visited was the "木府", not the emperor's palace, but the Tusi House, also called the General House, which was the official residence of local officials. The characters on the walls of the mansion are Chinese characters, not Dongba characters.

[@sunkissedbucketlist]

Thanks for letting us know 🥰

Yunnan is famous for it's two main produce such as Black-tea and Ham. I had never been there sadly to say. But from your video, I failed to see any shop selling or displaying this two products, unless your camera omitted to point at them! Enjoy your travel .

[@UnKnown-ij1iy]

Thanks for showing the true China!

[@sunkissedbucketlist]

It’s just so beautiful 🤩

[@HarveyChenBlog]

Lijiang old town is much bigger than Dali old town. You should buy some local coffee there. Yunnan coffee is very famous in China❤

[@宏刚黄]

But I think the scenery in Erhai Lake in Dali is better.

[@BYD4eva]

stunning

[@ronaldtu5970]

Haha, Chinese really like taking photos. I originally thought MuFu is for another Mu (沐）, which was king'd by Emperor Zhu YuanZhang when Ming dynasty was founded and the king crown lasted to Qing dynasty. Then it cannot be built in Yuan dynasty, it should be Ming dynasty instead. But it turned out to be really for Mu（木），a local King for minority groups. It is surprise to see a local king for minority built MuFu like Forbidden city which represents main Chinese culture. Very good vlog. Looking forward to the Vlog for the snow mountain! Also，Two Mad Explorers failed to reach Tiger Leaping Gorge due to bad weather, hope you can make it smoothly.

A wonderful video on the ancient town of Lijiang. Was there years ago and absolutely loved it too, and one of the place I would love to revisit!

[@shanzijian]

我甚至靠着一对外国人游览了中国各地，感谢你们的付出。看了这么多期，惊叹于国家建设成就的同时，确实会觉得目前中国的古城商业街有同质化的现象，当然建筑风格相近是无需讨论的问题，主要是不同地区很多商店销售的特产都是同一类型的，这也许是受众的口味“驯化”了市场。这种同质化本身对于当地游客而言很难察觉，但也许你们对比了很多城市后会看到的更明显一些。

[@XiaojieZhong]

[@sunkissedbucketlist]

Finally 🤩

[@宏刚黄]

In another month, if you are still in China, I strongly recommend you to visit the snow town in Heilongjiang, the most beautiful snow in China! Super beauty! Because it's already snowing there
