[@FernandoJamesFX]

Hello Yan ! I Have Been There in 2019, Also Visiting Lijiang and I Did The Beautiful 3 Days Tiger Leaping Gorge Trek. Going to Dali Again This October and From There To Lhasa, Tibet. All Thanks to You for Showing Us Tibet Months Ago ! Have Fun and Take Care. Fernando.

[@MrMichaelmackenzie]

Lucky you.

I love the filmakers love for people. I am awed by the women cheese-makers. I am speechless with admiration for their artistry. This my favorite part of this video series. Seeing the human technology of people earning a living often by producing beautiful, useful things. I am so impressed and drawn to this.

[@FrankGuo-wu5cg]

Well, I am from Dali, warmly welcome you guys to visit Yunnan any time, it is always worth to be your next travel destination! and maybe you can make a cheese yourself, I know there are some small workshops that provide such hands-on fun. Just don't hesitate, come to China and check it out!❤

[@michaelasciencbrooke9826]

The more I see of China and the people and the food the more I like it all. Wonderful video. Thank you.

[@amyloo4112]

Brave, independent and knowledgeable lady. I really enjoy watching your videos. Stay safe.❤

[@sushmarai36]

China really is so beautiful country for both nature and culture, people. Ancient and historical structures are still so well preserved.

[@user-np3qw1ze3b]

You are a strong & healthy person. Full of determination, and bravery. Travel by yourself in a mid range motorbike from one place to another in whole of China. Show us alot of interesting places, culture , geographical and historical places. People's that you meet are down to earth friendly & helpful. All the best in your travelling.

[@bertanelson8062]

Glad to see you on your bike again showing us unseen China. The places in this video are beautiful! No woder Chinese tourists come here. Drone viewpoint much appreciated, too. Thank you, Yan.

[@chankaan888]

The United States and its allies have issued travel warnings to China, intimidating their citizens not to travel to China and spreading a lot of false information about China. In fact, China is one of the safest countries in the world. The real danger is in Europe and the United States. There are robberies everywhere, and it is easy to be stolen when traveling to Europe and the United States.

[@dur7021]

Loved the cheese making! Also, the long vertical shot of the pagoda was lovely

[@littlechineseeverywhere]

Thank you 🥰

[@ymhktravel]

You can really tell from the crowd that even without international tourists, on a typical weekday, the tourists from other provinces and places are enough to sustain domestic tourism. Maybe that's why China doesn't bother to advertise itself overseas as much as other countries about their own tourism. Not to forget also that the scare-mongering about China in western countries in their local media is enough to scare away the faint-hearted and misinformed about how dangerous the country is. So any international tourists are mostly people from East Asia and SE Asia, where we generally know what's fake and what's not. eg. personal safety was never an issue when I travel there but as in any foreign places, one still has to be cautious.

[@VelkePivo]

never once heard that China is dangerous in "western countries." Just the opposite. But thanks for letting us know what a good open minded person YOU are

[@spikermike2843]

@@VelkePivo US State Department's advisory on China is "avoid". Shrug :). I came anyway - I had no intention to live by the rules of the State Department and the FBI :) I just came back from a 4-week swirl of China, covering most parts of it, thanks to DiDi and bullet trains - but I regularly failed to book train tickets due to the sheer volume of domestic travelers. So the poster wasn't wrong - I actually don't see how China can accommodate the pre-pandemic foreign travelers volume. Even on regular non-holiday weekdays, places are packed with crowds. I was genuinely happy for the rural elders who were never able to travel outside of their villages and towns, but now all over China via the affordable super infrastructures.

[@ymhktravel]

@@VelkePivo Where you from? Maybe not in yr country, but in some european countries and I know for sure in the US. The Biden govt even advised people against going there to China, saying it's dangerous.

[@Angengai]

Tbh China is already packed enough even just with domestic tourists 😂 china doesn’t need foreign tourists 😂

A great start to her motor scooter journey, entertaining and informative. She covers history, food, architecture, crafts, markets, prices, weather. Maps are used to good effect. Yan seems to do her homework so she is well prepared and can speak intelligently. Unlike many travel vloggers, Yan makes videos more about the place and less about herself. Two thumbs up!

[@yeska62]

It is always a treat when you are in Yunnan. Although I am in love with all of China, I have to admit that Yunnan is my "mistress". 😊 The people, the scenery, the food, the many minorities with different cultures, and languages. In short, the diversity in Yunnan is overwhelming. Yunnan never disappoints! ❤❤❤

[@wolsol]

Thank you for saying what I wanted to say

[@yeska62]

[@AAA-vu3dq]

Thank you Yan for this Dali tour. When I was about 6 or 7, my parents brought us children to watch a movie in a cinema in Singapore. The movie is called Five Golden Flowers Wu Duo Jin Hua. At that time I couldn’t really appreciate the show. But as an adult I watch it again and again because it is such a nice romantic comedy about Ah Perng and the five Jin Huas. The movie was shot in Yunnan Dali, and I remember there was mention about the Zhan Shan mountain and the Er Hai… not sure is that a real sea or a large lake. And of course there is the famous Butterfly Spring Hu Tie Quan. Gives me goosebumps seeing Yunnan Dali. Thank you once again ❤

[@PaulineZhang-vm3ly]

Er hai is a beautiful lake.😊

[@jjboyd01]

wow! you've opened my eyes to China and I love it.

[@INTRADOSNETO]

You ride again, fantastic! send hello from the heart of Caribbean, Dominican Republic. You meake we love China.💖

[@pedalingtheplanet]

I am alway amazed by the amount and type of fresh food that is prepared and sold in the street markets. The rose petal cheese wrapped around bamboo sticks was amazing! I love to see out of the way places everywhere. I watch your videos at night and always fall asleep during the beautiful and relaxing drone shots, so I watch them again the next day! It is like slipping into sleep on a cloud!

[@FloraandNote]

Have a safe journey! Dali Ancient City seems so busy. We were recently in Dali but stayed in Shuanglang Old Town and really enjoyed it 😊 We miss it already!

[@piscator2813]

The old town is better than Shuanglang, lots of old cultural buildings, Christian churches, mosques, Buddhist temples etc

[@stanleygagner]

I love your videos so much! It really feels like I am going on a journey with you. Keep it up ❤

[@theorivas1]

Agreed!

[@silviofranz2010]

Parabéns, mais um vídeo muit especial e encantador. Teu trabalho nos ajuda a entender melhor as varias culturas existentes dentro da China. E também permite, ver que há uma sobriedade, no modo de vida. Totalmente diferente do ocidente, que mescla ostentação e riqueza com muita pobreza.

[@goldenseal50]

You drive me crazy with all the food you show. lol I really wanted to try some of that cheese and that spicy mushroom stuff too.

I was pleased to see that you did not spend a lot of time filming the more touristy areas, like Dali Old Town South Gate. Nice to see Beimen, where people from Dali Old Town still live.

[@mikelee2886]

Expats love living in Dali. It’s everyone’s dream to retire there. Gorgeous overview, thank you.

[@markperry222]

The expats I know used to love living in Dali Old Town, but now they prefer to live around Dali.

[@dsaculinary2510]

Greetings Miss Yan and also I thanks Mr Flo from accompanying You in past trips. I thanks You so much for this trip. I'm a big fan of Yunnan food. Actually at the cheese making process they used enzymes from young bauvine stomach to curdled the process. It called rennet and also lactic acid bacteria. I loved cheeses, specially artisan made, and also mushrooms🍄(the one You was holding in Yourhand "MOREL", very expensive. . Really amazing trip. I can't wait for the next episodes. Just cautious ⚠️ tip, while traveling mountains roads, Be careful it is melting season. What I'm trying to point out is land and mud slides. So be careful. I trust Your braveness. God Bless and Protect You through Your journeys. Love from S.F. Bay Area 🇺🇸.

[@robinsmith9734]

Unique as ever Yan, you are unique in your own skin, sublimely so. A very crowded place nowadays. Incredible preparation/presentation of food. My question is what happens at the end of the day with leftovers! Never covered is. In my place and communities, we have composting areas, even in Europe they will compost even in towns, openly steaming, the sweet smell of continuing life. For large populations, there must be some obvious answers? I remember the lake well with its islands. Alofting the drone, as usual, gives a brave perspective on communities in this modern era. Thankyou.............
