Boating on Hangzhou's West Lake (Why Aren't UK Waterways This Clean?)
Комедия
Join us for another China VLOG as we take one of the world's most beautiful boat rides on Hangzhou's West Lake. Despite the rain, this was still an incredible experience; like sailing in an ink painting. Plus, we couldn't get over how clean it was compared to the current state of rivers and waterways back in the UK.
If you stick around long enough, you'll also hear a very special song that I made just for this video! Hope you enjoy it. So, go grab some snacks and get ready to laugh and relax all at the same time.

I'm really amazed by the city, as even the rower is so poetic. I'm also amazed by how uncomfortable Meimei feels in the rain as a British. Like Dad said, 'it's absolutely beautiful!' Thank you Situ for sharing!

I can tell Han Meimei is very happy on that day. I like her top, very elegant.
I just came back from Hangzhou, it's a nice and intelligent city , population 17 millions ,but everything is well organized
在船上拍攝時，手機最好有掛繩，及掛在頸上。在年老時，有子女陪同旅遊，是一種福氣，能夠寧靜地坐船遊覽西湖真好，為船伕盡責的工作讚賞。千萬別在夏季來西湖，酷熱天氣不是開玩笑的。
Absolutely Beautiful scenery! And, you did an excellent job! Background music is perfect!
其實下雨在西湖坐小船, 比大晴天更有感覺, 真是好漂亮
雨中游西湖还是头一次，真的很有感觉哎。 great editing btw, Stu！ Loved the music and the colorgrade 划船的叔叔也辛苦了！ 感觉好累哦

Thanks. Colour grading a rainy day is quite hard. Not much I could do unfortunately.
Chilling with my parents while enjoying the beautiful sights on the West Lake is what I wish to do when I visit China again.
Great to see you share this video. Most people in Europe and US think most lakes and rivers in China are polluted badly and should avoid eating imported fish from China
杭州遊西湖末尾時的歌曲"Bobu & Meimei on the West lake”典型的”英式風格＆風味十足很獨特，應是司徒建國自己的作曲作詞，優美好聽。
Stu, thanks a lot for having me join your boat ride video on the West Lake under such tranquil, peaceful and poetic atmosphere 👍👏 Sharing such magical moments with your parents is particularly precious 🥰🌺

I was in Hangzhou last week. I think anyone that's serious with their gardening should go visit this city, go visit all the temples on the mountains and all the gardens that goes with them. The only issue I had was there were too many people, very chaotic, although, it was the labour day holidays and I was one of those people adding to the problem so I guess I don't have the right to complain.

What a lovely couple!Love their song at the end 👍🏻👍🏻
Very nice music, did you sing at the end ? It is very good. Thank you for the enjoyment you have shared !
This was a lovey video to watch, with the perfect subject matter of the lake. Your parents are such a charming old couple, with the funniest asides and comments.
I had been there several months ago (from Hong Kong). The most beautiful and serene spot is the small island at the centre of the lake.
你是一个能领略西湖之美并且将之呈现在镜头中的外国人，似乎是唯一的一个，Perfect!
The Hangzhou West lake is very famous place, long history culture, a MUST visit place ~~!
一家子穿着亲子装出游西湖，搭配完美！👍
So nice your son can understand and speak good Chinese
Oh my god, the song at the end is epic!
OHH I love this part 11:37 Also love how Bob always think of food, regardless where he is, and whenever is possible. 19:46
As if the sky deliberately rain for you folks - adding an enchantment to this boat ride
What a fun boat ride for 2 jolly codgers on a beautiful lake.
The rain really makes the vibe. Loved the style of this video! I’ve got to get back to west lake, it’s so stunning 😍 ❤
So beautiful! It is a life in paradise! I used to study at Zhejiang University, this video brought me back to so many great memories! Thank you!

The most beautiful thing about West Lake is the faint mist when it rains, the looming beauty. What the rower said is that there were many love stories in the West Lake in the past, and they all happened under this kind of light rain, like a beautiful ancient Chinese landscape painting.
Hi I love your video and the West lake looks so beautiful, peaceful and fresh in the rain. I have been in Hangzhou many times and never realized how amazing the lake would be like this one. Your parents looked so cool on the boat and Dad was chill enjoying the ride much more, your Mom is lovely and I like the way she was holding the camera stick😄 a little nervous but definitely I can see she was very fond of the lake🥰👍❤️ Thank you for sharing!🙏

Seeing it reminded me of my trip to West Lake about 20 years ago. The lake was already very well maintained and managed then. But I went by bike mostly around the lake and roads cut through the lake. It was a short visit for less than a day so I didn't get time to explore. If I go again definitely will try the boating.

Dad does not talk much, but when he does, he is funny.
The west lake might be the most famous lake in China, because there are too many famous poems in history about it.
For a moment I thought the Bob and Meimei song was wrote and sung by Stu, very catchy!
The boatman, "This could be said that the emotions are deep while the rains are down drizzling, isn't floating one's boat in the the moment of misty South Yangtze in the rain feeling like picturesque and of poetry? "
Pretty sceneries and music.
服了，我上周也去划船了，也是这个摇橹船，一样的路线
That was a really relaxing boat ride, I feel very much relaxed just watching it. And yes, those would have made great roast duck. Yum, yum. Oh yeah, not to forget, that was a very nice han mei mei and bobu song. Who wrote and performed it? Let me guess, you did with some help?

It is probably the most beautiful country, and this famous lake is just one of the hundreds (or thousands) tourist vista areas.
It's nice you treat your parents well. Keep it up!
The boat man said: To be in love is like walking in the drizzling: being surrounded by the deep feeling. In the Jiangnan misty rain boating, is so poetry as bing in the ink painting
Your parents both have beautiful outfits!😍
Bobu does look like a mob boss with the sunglasses on.🤣
Love the boat ride even I am not there! Its so lovely.
So surprise! The Song of Bobu and MeiMei is Gooooood! I love it😀
下雨的西湖确实幽静美丽！
It’s beautiful….
剪接的節奏和和音樂做得非常好 船上沒救生圈太危險了
So beautiful & relaxing❤
It really is quite nice now... it was still pretty 20 years ago but before the massive dredging project, you might have been put off a little by the smell of West Lake back then. So around 2001 they started the dredging project, removing over a meter of collected sludge, silt, and mud from the ever-shallowing West Lake, and made a tunnel connecting it to Qiantang river, as well as expanding the wetlands of Inner West Lake area(west of West Lake's Yanggongdi). and people(mostly domestic tourists) do litter a little bit, but the clean up crews do a fantastic job of beautifying the city.
