the shared human moments in this video are too much for me. those older people are so full of life and just so happy to be there in the moment. what a lovely video.

I went to China in 1997, alone, with in hand my lonely planet travel book of 1060 pages part in Mandarin language (so I can show to people the beautiful little houses scrip of China language to be able to go where I wanted to) It has been very difficult but very rewarding. I travelled out of season and saw few others travellers. I was young, curious and willing to see the most of my stay: Beijing, Xi'an, Guilin, Yangshuo and Shenzhen. At that time still a lot of people wear the traditional grey clothes. It was the only country where I had a bed in the bus for those long 12 hours trip. I would like very much to go back to see what you guys are experiencing now in a Modern China. Travels make all men better.

By 2013 it only had 2,000 residents but by 2017 it had grown to 30,000 and had been expanded several times. So it appears to be a successful development and not a ghost town at all. The Parisian section is just residential. I assume during the day everyone is at work and at school so it appears deserted. But after work people return and it all comes alive.

@@giakolou2876 Paris isn't a Disneyland where nobody lives like the fake town in the picture that's for sure. At the end of the day the tourists prefer to go to the real thing to make it the most visited city in the world. That's how dirty and dangerous Paris is. One has more chance to end up in jail after a scam to get money in China than being the victim of some violent crime in Paris, so.

Guys, you are amazing! I enjoy how modest, smart and polite you all are) You tell the story how it is without perception and mean comments! Keep up, you are great!

This is one of the most touching video i've seen. It is really great to see how human beings are nice to each other. I didn't know that Chinese people are that kind and cheerful. I would like to thank you guys for showing the world the real version of such people from such country.

Our Son has been in University in Nanjing China for 5 years. We love visiting there, the people are amazing. People never believe me, when i tell them how safe it is to walk around there. At night when it cools down everyone comes out to Eat and Dance. People are generally shy is what i found, but if you learn a couple of Mandarin words it goes a long way.

Hey Ethan, Thomas here, first of all your comment was seen and appreciated on my end as I sit here late night in (real) Paris back home scrolling through my phone :) I don’t know you or your story, but all I can say is at 24 you still have so much time and are by no means a failure. I’ll also add that your life sure as hell matters. Life can be a confusing, disheartening and challenging experience, but ultimately I’ve chosen to see those ups and downs as necessary steps in my journey. If it makes you feel any better, I’m anxious often as well, and doing my best to learn how to cope with it. Meditation, exercise and finding good friends over time has made a big difference. Sending you lots of love and strength good sir 🙏

As someone who struggles with bad depression and anxiety too I can give you my little advice I use. If you have that random burst of energy and want to do something and you don't know what, just go out and maybe explore some parts of your town or maybe even something like a forest near you, you have never walked or seen. Seeing new things really helps my depression and make me want to explore even more around my place. Starting small adventures leads to some bigger ideas later, trust me! :)

As an American who has had the privilege of visiting Asia, I can confidently say that it's an incredible region filled with warm and welcoming people. At 6'2" and sporting a cowboy hat, I stood out in many of the places I visited, yet I was consistently met with curiosity and kindness. It was truly eye-opening to experience firsthand how much we humans share in common, despite our cultural differences. I highly recommend venturing beyond your comfort zone and engaging with people from diverse backgrounds - both locally and globally. You'll likely be surprised by the connections and friendships you forge along the way.

While in the United States Navy, I traveled to 11 countries. The expectations created by our society were only slightly correct. My worldview, and appreciation of other cultures changed.

When I was travelling I noticed that there were hardly any Americans. When I found some I talked to them and it seems Americans don't have the freedom to travel as easily as other countries. In many places you can get 4 weeks leave per year and take that any time you want. But it sounds like Americans only get half of that and they may not be able to take it when they want so it is hard for them to travel internationally.

Most of the uninhabited 'ghost cities' shown in western media, are now fully or partially populated. Think from a logical perspective. If China's population is 1.4bn and still growing, why would they leave those places abandoned? The narrative that China is an abandoned real estate project is way off the mark.

@@SuperIce6374 Well being an American, I was used to having to always be on my guard when in public. It’s so easy to get something stolen or to get caught up in a bad situation. In China it’s a lot different. I can’t count the number of times I or a friend has left something somewhere (e.g. a phone, passport or wallet) and getting it back because people here do the right thing. People here in China are also very generous. They are always sharing things like snacks or showing some form of hospitality without even thinking about it. People here are very friendly and family oriented, so it’s not uncommon to see young children playing outside unsupervised. The crime rate in China is really low. Citizens don’t own guns. Police officers don’t even carry firearms, so it makes day to day activities less stressful. Another thing that makes China a less stressful place to live is the public transportation. It’s so easy to get around all parts of China without owning a car. The bullet trains are amazing, and most cities have excellent subway systems and public buses. Those are some of the main reasons why living in China has been so chill and safe.
