China is one of the most beautiful countries, or, arguably, the most beautiful country in the world. Nico, thank you as always. Love from the United States.

[@OrientalPearl]

Stunning cinematography Nico! That was beautiful and very professional. The thing I feel that would have brought this video some warmth and an element of unpredictability is interaction in with the locals. I bet they know some Mandarin and would have loved to chat with you and those scenes would resonate with a wider audience.

[@astroayumi1752]

Not only beautiful sceneries also safety ,whether urban or rural area, day or night , China is utmost safety for foreigners to visit , No gangs, no addicts, no rapists, no homeless begging for money , everyone is welcome even those China haters !

[@user-nx8vo3gu7z]

Jack’s mandarin skills ⬆️

[@jeffreysoo8779]

Simply breathtaking. China has so much to offer and one can't find rubbish being thrown on the ground.

[@iamcanadianedmonton]

some of the scenery reminds me of the scotland highland, really beautiful. the reason i like to travel in china is not because i am chinese, but because of china's vast and different landscaping, from dessert, beautiful karst mountains and li river in Guilin. you name it, china has it and you only need one visa !!!! bless from canada.

[@qingdameng8085]

As a Chinese, this is my first time know the place 扎尕那，thank you for your video. I wish I can visit when I come back to China.

[@buptalex0215102]

It is like another world... Incredible scenary. Glad that you guys enjoyed it.

[@Harveyinchina]

That scenery… incredible!!! Definitely adding this to my list of places to visit! 🏔😍😍😍

[@jiuzhouqingyantiaoshizhuang]

oh its the strange looking kid from another channel! Check him out!

[@rosesarered2432]

seems you've got a long list already haha (saw your comment in other channels too)

[@GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies1435]

I never ever heard of this place before but good God!😳 This place is so breathtakingly beautiful!😍😍

[@Harveyinchina]

Breathtaking footage, especially the drone shots 🔥

[@greentraveler4114]

so diverse China so beautiful China

[@jeffreysetapak]

Trust me, Tibetan yak fat will help you to fight against the altitude sickness and cold weather.

[@eddiegerahty3454]

Wow, I remember 7 years ago I also hiked in Tibet plateau for 8 hours. And you did 10 hours. That must be exhausted!

[@davepsk7334]

Zhagana, the place that seems out of this world! It's like a fairy tale place. Or a science fiction planet that exists only in CG. But lo and behold, it's as real as mother earth can be. I've only found out and seen the scenery from Ben's recent post. Now I'm glad to see it again from Nico. The place is really unimaginable beauty. You won't believe it till you see it for yourself. Thanks so much for another trip to the heavenly place. Even the name of the place seem to suggest it's magical or heeped in mystical powers.

[@stuartfit]

Great video and videography as usual. What I love, really love (said this months ago at your channel here) is that it's purely travel oriented to show how nice a country in terms of its places, landscapes and its people are. Nico has projected this path since day one of her channel but it's sad to see some guys disliked with bias views. I've been to China 4 times the last 2 decades for business and leisure and it's an amazing country, can't find homeless like in America and walking alone around midnight in Shanghai feels like the surrounding the people are there to help instead of being threats, that's how I felt, unlike walking downtown in San Diego or San Francisco where you constantly needed to "watch out" your surroundings and where you are. Keep up the good work Nico, you definitely deserve more than 100,000 subscribers.

[@kayapi5321]

Nico, I think this is your best vlog about natural scenery. the camera angle is professional and magnificent. You have a good experience of the local culture, share food with the locals, talk to yaks, staying in a homestay, Amy will definitely envy you, haha

[@MrJD-tz3dv]

Old veteran of china laowai here, loved traveling the gansu areas. Very nice video work and video overall. So glad you guys aren't out shilling like some, we need more vloggers like you all!

[@Runningbowels]

Beautifully-done video! The drone shots are breath-taking as well as the ground-level videography. Wow!

[@kelvinyschun]

Beautiful... i never been there but will in future. Reminds me of Siguniang. Kanas and Keketouhai in Xinjiang is also great! My favorites are Shangrila - Yubeng and Yading! Hike the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Climb Huashan plank walk and famous mountains... Huangshan, Taishan, emeishan, etc. Memories for life!

[@sargiedelosangeles8507]

Wow just wow! ❤ Literally a breathtaking view! 💯 Thanks for another awesome video, Nico and Jack! 🥰 The awesome red cloth-like bag you mentioned, we also have here in the Philippines with variety of sizes and colors and we called it an Eco-bag. 😊 Just sharing. Another satisfied viewer/subscriber here! - Sargie

[@sabinthopra6257]

Those view are out of this world

[@Nicofilms]

I know right! Incredible!

[@hangzeng1491]

Thank you Nico, this amazing video reminds my wife her unforgotten hiking experience in western Sichuan 7 years ago, which also took her 10 hours climbing up and down in wild. Unfortunely, I was absent then. How time flies.

[@youngien]

10 hours hike? That's amazing Nico. You guys did a great job capturing the landscape. I love how its misty, foggy, clear all at the same time. The locals there, why are they on the same trial? Are they hiking 10 hrs as their daily commute?

[@Nicofilms]

Thank you very much! Yes it was the perfect day to hike. The ones who gave us lunch were horse trekkers who took people on the trail who wanted to go on horses. The second group I think were working on the mountains as there was about 30 of them but I think they just hiked up a bit then back down. Not the whole trail everyday.

[@shiretse7255]

The views are absolutely breathtaking!!! Thank you for making such an amazing video!!! BTW, Jack’s Mandarin has been so good👍

[@johnrogermaghuyop6106]

The editing is just superb! And thanks guys fro bringing us there too, virtually! :))

[@docvideo93]

I love seeing footage of wild China. I work outdoors and I love an awesome city skyline as much as the next person, but I need my mountains!! Also your reactions to the pea-sized hailstones made me snicker as someone from the central US .

[@vailewalders1395]

Wow amazing adventure

[@user-do5jw9hx1v]

except for snow mountains，China has so many other beauties mountains，such as huangshan ，laojunshan……

[@MightySteve001]

One of your best video's. I thoroughly enjoyed watching every moment of it. Make more of these, please.

[@Nicofilms]

Thanks a lot! We would make more like this if we could travel all the time haha

[@dunwallghost7315]

Hiking on height area like that is not easy, but the view is absolutely worth it! amazing video Nico and Jack!

[@Nicofilms]

Thanks a lot! Yeah it was an amazing adventure!

[@Way827]

You are so lucky. Don't leave China. :)

[@tamdingphuntsok9280]

Wow, Omg, so beautiful, you can say, breathtaking, again. Absolutely amazing, those Tibetans too. 😍🙏

[@drive-thru9169]

It really looks like Iceland

[@mac_chen]

Great place to visit. Thanks Nico. Cheers.

[@frankc5659]

Glad to see another DiscoveryChannel-quality video. FanTAstic!

[@Nicofilms]

Thank you very much!

[@LaowaiDaveJCP]

This is QUALITY CONTENT

[@manhistory7144]

Eaeth building(土楼)，YongDing, Fujian. I have been to a village of Hongkeng(洪坑)，there are different shapes and sizes of earth buildings. round, square, semi-round. in the village, they are Hakka people with their culture and language.

[@alien0715]

Such a brave move to trek 10ht at that altitude! Thanks for sharing ☀️

[@Nicofilms]

Haha yeah it was a bit of a struggle but I’m happy we did the challenge!

[@oxvendivil442]

It would be good if the local government there send technical teams to teach the locals to make craft beer using the local barley, it could turn something big in the future!

[@andrewchen9369]

Thank you for taking us with you to another amazing trip!

[@pojipo6131]

Go to Tibet, Xinjiang and Gansu you can see more quite different views that you can't find in other countries !!!!

[@Dragon-gl1rw]

Amazing hiking, breathtaking views. Tks for sharing.

[@leslie-kp8xu]

Amazing scenery.

[@QWERTY-gv2fn]

我是中国人，从未去过这个地区，太美丽了，当然你的拍摄技巧很棒👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻，加油

[@liluport]

Wow beautiful ! Nicely done! I have been to 青海, but didn’t realize the hiking possibilities. Would love to know more about what the locals think about climate action in places like this. Good to know one-use plastic bags are no longer used.

[@driftert5687]

Gorgeous, indeed 👍👍

Take care of your knee Ms.Nico 😍 Love your videos. I hope to visit that place too once Im Im China next year.

[@zha0nan]

一路顺风，祝你玩的开心👍

[@stormworks4882]

looks like a heavenly realm

[@csong4809]

I didn't aware there are so many mavlous scenery in China waiting me to visit, thanks for letting me know

[@Nicofilms]

So many beautiful places!

[@buptalex0215102]

Just watched the video again... I will definitely spend a long summer vacation in this valley, or a winter vacation inside the house enjoying the mountain views. Nico and Jack, I envy you

[@Nicofilms]

I would recommend summer when we went in September it was pretty cold and the houses aren't insulated well. So I think winter would be too hard.

[@buptalex0215102]

@@Nicofilms thanks for the kind suggestion. I grew up in a valley like this when I was young in Qinghai province...and I like the harsh winter outside and all the elements inside the house to keep it cozy.

[@Nicofilms]

@@buptalex0215102 I think if you can get cosy elements inside and winter outside it would be perfect.

[@kumoo5367]

看得我也想去旅游了，以后安排哈哈
