An Unexpected Adventure in Jianshui China: No booking? No problem!

Join me on an unexpected adventure as I travel from Kunming to Jianshui without booking any accommodation...cos it was so much fun last time. In this video, I navigate the bustling streets of the small town of Jianshui during the Chinese New Year holiday, meet friendly locals who help me find a place to stay, and try some local delicacies. Enjoy!

    The hostel-hunting process is so funny! You almost went into the owner's bedroom, but upon hearing the price, immediately ran away! LOL

    那个蔬菜叫草芽,10年前只有建水才生长得出来,需要独特的水质和生长环境,建水草芽米线也是建水的特色

    深度游的前提是中文说得好,还要对中国文化有一些基本的了解。中国人自己都不太了解自己的国家,甚至随便一个少数民族追溯起来也都至少千年的历史了。
