The bags hanging on the tree are special fertilizer that can be injected into the trunk which supposedly works quicker and more efficiently.

[@ramblingbard]

Ah that makes sense! There weren’t many with it but all the trees in the area looked really healthy and well taken care of 🌴 Thanks for the info!

[@patriciaoreilly5655]

The sound of the tinkling bells was so peaceful

[@swimmer5683]

wow, such an ethnically diverse region with great cultural fusion plus fantastic weather. Thanks for sharing!

[@aileenwang6749]

China is so diversified

[@RobH215]

Well done RB. Love your work 🙂

[@ramblingbard]

Thanks very much Rob!! As always, delighted you're enjoying the content - albeit slower to release than I'd like 😂

[@bylodog5124]

It's interesting that you've discovered that Yunnan is the province with the largest number of ethnic minorities in China, and since ancient times, people from different dynasties have come to the border, so yes, there's a history here, and there's ethnic soul you've found.😊

I highly recommend lugu lake，it is very beautiful.

You do good 👍 job on video.❤

[@ramblingbard]

Thank you! 🤗

[@rwl-fp4bq]

As a Chinese, I have been very fond of your videos lately, which is very authentic. But I suggest you use translation software more often and try to communicate with the locals. They will recommend you to visit places worth visiting. But it's worth mentioning that when you go to a sales point in a scenic area, they are often expensive and not authentic haha

[@ramblingbard]

I often try using the translator a lot while off camera - usually on camera it slows down the pace of exploration. But definitely a lot of the places I visit are mostly from recommendations from friendly locals! Thank you for watching!!

[@annieq4049]

I always want to visit Yunnan province, kunming, dali,Xishuangbanna,, beautiful places!

[@谢晓峰-i6s]

You are so knowledgeable, I didn’t even know that about Mongolia

[@user-vs9lf2gt9k]

Great, you have mastered Chinese lifestyle skills, a super convenient electric vehicle.

[@slbermine79376]

The bull heads in Wa village used to be human heads, the government asked them to change when they were "liberated" so you see bull heads now.

[@ramblingbard]

Awh wow that’s fascinating!! I didn’t realise they were traditionally headhunters. Thanks for sharing, I’ll read up more on them 🙏

[@slbermine79376]

@@ramblingbard Not head hunters just tribes using skulls to intimidate opponents. Maybe more, I don't know much about their history.

[@slbermine79376]

@@ramblingbard Large parts of Yunnan province was secluded because of mountains, that's why there're so many ethnics.

[@ramblingbard]

It's so cool there's such a vast amount of ethnic groups - each being entirely unique from the other!

[@riza-2396]

At the beginning they changed to tiger's head but tiger is also an endangered animal now so they have to use bull heads to prevent tiger extinction

[@bymichlea]

great video, the park is such an interesting concept! How long did it take you to go through the entire place?

[@slbermine79376]

Dali, Lijiang, Xishuangbanna, Shangri-La in Yunnan, they're all diverse and interesting places.

[@陈睿琦-j6q]

I like your video very much and have subscribed to your account. I am looking forward to your next trip. Wish you a pleasant trip in China

[@ramblingbard]

Awh that’s brilliant thank you!! 🙏

[@OdongoFredrick]

That's China village, waawoo

[@Sfran_]

12:22 I’m confused by your remarks of ‘this area has a lot of Vietnamese heritage’. I had no idea what you referred to. Vietnam was part of China in ancient times and Chinese culture has deeply influenced Vietnam since ancient time to nowadays. Btw there’s a concept called the Sinosphere, also known as the Chinese cultural sphere, which encompasses multiple countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia that historically were heavily influenced by Chinese culture, norms and traditions. The Sinosphere comprises Greater China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam.

[@onlyteardrops9615]

WOW I think u have spent one month in China! There are many famous lake in YUNAN ,Hope u enjoy the trip

[@ramblingbard]

It's been a long trip so far yeah haha! Although I've left Kunming and trying to catch up on some videos. For now I'm trying to add Chinese subtitles to all the videos which is taking a lot longer than expected haha :D

@cadbury, don’t miss out!!

[@mechannel7046]

5:40 what you were eating is their local fried cheese. People think Chinese people don't eat cheese. Well, most of them don't, but in Yunnan they do. They have fried cheese, sweet cheese and a cheese that looks and tastes like mozzarella

[@ramblingbard]

Ahh! It was very tasty and then in that case, the nicest cheese I’ve had in China! Even if incredibly spicy for me haha. Thanks for letting me know!

[@Tsyjzyt]

Kuai is like “bucks”

[@lljia-ni7yn]

did you go to the stone forest?

[@ramblingbard]

I unfortunately did not! Frankly, Yunnan is such an enormous region that I’ll have to go back and explore more of. There’s so many things I’ve yet to see.

[@lljia-ni7yn]

@@ramblingbard the stone forest is only 84 kilometers from kunming city, which is one of China’s four natural wonders. you have actually been to one of them -- "those mountains and water in Guilin and Yangshuo" 桂林山水. the other two are Jilin rime and Three gorges of the Yangtze River. China is a socialism country, which has many state-owned companies, on top of that, I don't think China is much difference from other countries and rigions in the world. the government just does it job. there are both rich and unwealthy people living their life every day. so, just enjoy your stay here. definitely no need to get worried or nervous. if anything bad happens, you may ask policemen for help.

[@echozhao3124]

你对中国的历史和文化了解得很多！thanks for sharing

[@REDSUN-8]

Vietnamese heritage in Yunnan? In the past, all of Vietnam was Chinese territory.

[@戀愛大王西格瑪Sigma]

are u still in Kunming Yunnan，if so come to Dali i‘d love to be your guide

[@ramblingbard]

Not at the moment, I'm a little behind on the videos. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to visit Dali but when I go back in the future I will definitely make sure to. The history is too much to miss!! And if the offer still stands I'll absolutely love to be shown around!! :D

[@戀愛大王西格瑪Sigma]

@ramblingbard Okkk

在中国，有句古话叫做：知之为知之，不知为不知！ 你看到东西，不要凭你的主观去猜想它是什么，然后还给观众一个错误的讲解！ 不了解可以问当地居民，可以的话请一个导游，才能更好的了解当地的文化！ 祝你旅途开心！
