China's MUST Visit - Yunnan Dali I S2, EP74

[@michaelasciencbrooke9826]

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

[@sushmarai36]

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

[@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.

[@theorivas1]

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!❤

[@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 😂

[@TooLittleInfo]

@@ymhktravel it's dangerous *for the govt* bc then people will actually realise that the govt has been telling them lies lol

You really go to the most amazing places! 🤩 Thank you as always for sharing!

[@amyloo4112]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@UnionABC]

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.

[@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!

[@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

[@AndrewShank-tg9ge]

Yan, you are my favorite videos every week. Thank you for sharing!!

[@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.😊

[@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.

[@ankiolebring8388]

It’s so nice to start a new journey with you, very much looking forward to it ❤

[@dur7021]

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

Really thought the drone video was really beautiful. I loved the buildings in Dali. Looking forward to next week's video. Safe travels Yan. ❤

[@markperry222]

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.

[@MichaelLoda]

Your vlogs are great, Yunnan is beautiful, thank you a lot for showing us it and in English

[@4june9140]

Its so nice to see you, as always. You are like a daughter to me. A joy 🤗 I too loved travelling in China and seeing your films brings so many memories and feeling back. I'm back living in the UK after many years over there. Mainly HK.

[@Steve-bw9bs]

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!

[@apekool3]

Hello Yan, thank you for taking us along. For telling us the history of the places. And the special buildings, landscape, climate and food that are different from other regions. I see you got another 25 K subscribers the last month.

[@pritiparmar1002]

Oh my god ! Your drone shots are fabulous ❤

[@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 🇺🇸.

[@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.

Thank you so much Yan for these beautiful videos of your travels. You are doing what I wish I had done at your age..and only did after I retired and enjoyed it so much. You are taking this old woman on big adventures through your videos. I look forward to the next one. You are very special.

In Taiwan, we have quite a few Yunnan restaurants and they are very popular and my family visits one of them regularly! I first heard the name of Dali when I was a kid from the popular old martial arts novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" 天龍八部 where the main character 段譽 is from Dali Kingdom's royal family...XD!! Yunnan has always been a dream destination for me! The market looks absolutely amazing!! Thank you for sharing!

Great, I was here at about the same period. Took a train to Shangri-La and we worked our way down to Dali. Everything is so affordable, you can rent a car and leave it at your destination. We bought a condo in Beihai this year . Now back in Québec for a few months and back in China in October. What am I doing with my free time...watching your great videos. Hope our paths cross one day. Yunnan is the first province I visited when I first solo visited China in 2007. Stay safe .

Well made documentary. Thank you

[@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.............

Hello little Chinese fairy. I welcome you to your Yunnan vlog. I thank you for my suggestion for playing Chinese music during drone shots. At Dali the street food recipes were very enlightening. Moreover, the history of dynasties was very informative. A lot of vacablery is required to appreciate your vlog in every respect. Have a good night's sleep for the next day's journey to Shakti. Take care & have a peaceful long life with Sound Health. An aged well-wisher of you and China.
