This Chinese City Blew Me Away | Stepping Back In Time In Lijiang 🇨🇳

Join me in this latest video as I explore Lijiang for three hours, starting with a hike up to a scenic viewpoint. After taking in the sights from above, I meander through the city’s ancient alleyways, marveling at the historic architecture and encountering friendly local dogs along the way. The adventure concludes with a serene sunset that casts a golden glow over the city. Dive into the heart of Lijiang with me and experience its timeless charm.

Visit Dukezong ancient city

[@bigsun1187]

In 2018, my ex girlfriend and I took wedding photos here, and this ancient city fascinated me and broke my heart.

[@achtungbaby2009]

you should be glad you didnt marry her in the end.. shouldn't marry petty quarrelsome troublesome woman. give you no peace in married life. Its cheaper to keep changing gf or having many part time wives than to marry one woman.

Sharing for sharing your video with the rest of the world... cheers and enjoy your time in China! from Canada. 🕊

[@byakuya3603]

The natural scenery in Yunnan, Xinjiang and Sichuan is very beautiful. You know more about China tourism than other youyuber who go to various big cities.👍👍👍

[@ramblingbard]

I’ve enjoyed varying it a little bit but my next (and final for this trip) few places are a little bit more commonly visited (except for one place which I’m very excited for!)

[@byakuya3603]

@@ramblingbard I suggest you go to Dali in Yunnan, which is the most beautiful place in Yunnan.

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Blue Moon Valley, Lugu Lake, Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, wish you could get the chances to visit in next time, rather than the dog,cat and money fishes😂

[@dicky-duck6632]

When you previously said you would only stay in Lijiang briefly, I was very surprised. I thought you had confused the Lijiang River in Guangxi with Lijiang Old Town in Yunnan. Lijiang Old Town is also famous for its pubs at night, some of which are quite wild. People from all over China come to these pubs in hopes of having a romantic encounter at night.

[@user-vs9lf2gt9k]

Your video is very simple, but very realistic. China is a beautiful country, and every episode of your video is very free and relaxed. It's really a pleasant trip, and I look forward to exploring more places.

[@ramblingbard]

Thank you so much 😀

[@yalu-us1ve]

Is Jade Dragon Snow Mountain your next destination? I'm looking forward to it！

[@XCS-Danul]

Its too short, WE need more! Hiking!!!

Hahah I wish I could get more in on this trip but I’ve only one more (kinda…) hike planned. But definitely agree, more hiking needed! 😊

What a beautiful city! You managed to capture it very well for only having a few hours there.

[@ramblingbard]

Thanks very nice of you to say! Thank you ☺️

[@YongLi-np3wg]

11:06 China started to be clean after 2006 as I can recall. It wasn't like this before that. Things gradually change, people live in it don't realize.

[@ramblingbard]

Ah interesting! I’ve found it to be, for the most part, extremely clean. Of course some rubbish is around in the big cities but nothing what I expected given the sheer population densities!

[@Unvaccinatedpureblood]

@@ramblingbard Also, many westerners may have preconceived notion of what China is like from visiting Chinatowns in their own countries, which tend to be quite messy. The one in NYC is a prime example.

[@flash6-en5lf]

beautiful❤

[@vickyhuang1958]

I been there several years ago. It's a beautiful place to visit. Nice trip.

[@user-lt4vq5ow5f]

I don't speak English and this is from the translator: you're really cool because it's really hard for a person to travel alone to the south of China to climb the mountains and even Chinese people might encounter a language barrier because the locals will have their own language, but you did it! Your perspective on travelling is really interesting and it makes me feel like I've been to the city too because China is really big and many Chinese people don't have the means to travel to every city, thanks a lot for sharing the video!

[@ramblingbard]

So glad you found it insightful! Unfortunately it was a small little video as I had little time but I hope it was enough :D Thank you for watching and commenting! 💚

[@achtungbaby2009]

learn some basic mandarin. its an universal language in china like the english of usa & some anglo commonwealth states.

[@Equal-k7q]

It amazing some of the things looks like very old

[@serenali4297]

Many ancient scenic spots have rebuilt buildings, so they look new. Because this land is only a few decades away from the last war, many famous ancient buildings have been basically destroyed. Especially Chinese ancient buildings were usually made of wood.

[@lljia-ni7yn]

a short but nice video😊

[@ramblingbard]

I wish it could have been longer but it was a last minute decision to go and check out the town haha. I'm really glad you liked it!!

[@Whyroses_22]

Dali is also pretty 😍 but maybe a little touristy 😅 people gathered to celebrate the Torch Festival yesterday,it was really fun

[@binhe6500]

It’s interesting evolution of history and development that the far corner of the country where the empire reached in the latest is paradoxically the most chinesey

I can sense your attitude towards China subtly changed during you stay. LOL

It definitely has! It’s gone from uncertain, unsure and extra cautious to a bit more of just being in the rhythm of the country. When it works, it works great!

[@Sfran_]

Each to their own. If you are interested in history and architectures (both ancient royal and traditional folk), you may find Beijing a must-visit city.

[@slbermine79376]

Dali is better than Lijiang.

[@Sfran_]

Two different styles. If you only referred to the old town, Lijiang old town is better that Dali old town. If you referred to the part of Dali that surrounding Erhai, it’s of course really nice😊

从来没听说过这种论调，不过既然是你的个人看法，那我尊重你。 顺便……这么拉一个踩一个的说法，很没有礼貌。

我发现一些人总是喜欢这样拉一个踩一个，您是大理开客栈的吧？没有必要这么市侩，当人家在丽江旅游的时候，您没有必要贬低它，如果您想推广大理，或者中国的任何其他地方，也可以优雅地介绍，而不是以贬低其他地方的方式……
