Keep rambling and you'll soon have your first thousand :)

Some tourist attractions in China will take photos for you and give you a small photo for free（included in ticket）. This is why they give you a key ring. The key ring is used to hold the small photo. But if you think the photo is good, you can buy a larger photo. They print the photos so that many people will buy them, but it is not necessary, thats why they told you ‘’no money‘’ before.

Ah that makes sense! I didn’t see anywhere to get the little photo (I think I wasn’t the only one as there were many empty keychains thrown around outside) - would have loved to have got that too! Either way, I will at least put one of the photos on my computer desk as a memory so it’s nice 😊

Great work RB. So wonderful to see these towns off the beaten track. If you get the chance, check out Sanya (island of Hainan). Its China's Hawaii. Just got to be careful the coconuts falling from the trees don't hit you on the head. The beaches are superb.

Thank you Rob! I was very tempted to check out Sanya on this trip but couldn’t make it work unfortunately but will absolutely check it out the next time. Have to say, I like the idea of dodging coconuts on a sandy beach 🏖️ 😅

Aha I’m still trying to juggle using a friends laptop to do the editing - hoping my new one comes next week! I do have some footage from a visit I took into the mountains but unfortunately the fog was so insanely thick I’m not sure I can use any of it. Maybe I’ll make a shorter video, but it’ll be tricky. Thanks for your support and watching! 🙏

Awh fantastic! It’s a very fun route and with the high speed trains you get to see some beautiful landscapes on the way. I hope you have lots of fun!

It's actually not a total scam. You don't have to buy the ticket but a lot of tourists buy out of politness. Just don't accept any service if you don't want to pay. But if you are not told about the price before service you can always refuse to pay. If they force you, file a complaint it to the local tourism bureau. The hotel staff will help you do it.

Definitely recommend it and it’s worth checking out the Impression of Liu Sanjie night show. Probably even better if you understand the language but still great either way!

As a Chinese, I can tell you about that shop, taking photos for you is free of charge, but you no need pay it if you don't want the photos, they will not force you to buy it.

Use google translater or chinese baidu translater, whatever, it is very helpful

I love your real and casual style. Though I think you spent too much time in the commercial area, as a Chinese, I would avoid spending money in scenic spots especially the acient/commercial town/street, because most of them are built to fool tourists😂. The real local products are often in places that looks normally.

@ramblingbard

2 ай бұрын

Completely agree, I’ve definitely noticed “ancient towns” is just another way to call a commercial street with quirky shops.

@YouLi-rv1hk

2 ай бұрын

@@ramblingbard Yes most famous ancient towns are commercial now and all the "local" items they sell you can find cheaper online or in wholesale markets. Although I think china do have many valuable acient scenic spots worth exploring, it needs to collect more information about china history for preparation. Checking where the true ancient architectures are located on the internet could be useful.So it's hard for foreigners who have no experience😂. Whatever, don't spend money at the scenic spots always safer.Hope you could enjoy the journey !

Comedy gold… wish I bought it now

Welcome to travel, I came to youtube to subscribe after watching you on bilibili, those videos directly reproduced on bilibili have no income, some people have made Chinese translations so that there will be a little income but overall compared to youtube income is very small, I suggest that you can say your name in the middle of the video and let everyone subscribe here, which is much better than putting it at the end of the video in the form of text. A lot of people don't get to see KZread videos directly, so some people who see them will repost some videos for this reason, and I hope it won't affect your trip. I also recommend that you use a translation software when you can't understand the text or the conversation. Finally, I wish you a pleasant trip.

Hey! Thanks for watching here 🙏 🤩 I’ve tried to add a watermark to my latest video but I think that’s the best I can do for now, I’m pretty sure it’ll be reposted to bilibili no matter what 😂 Let’s see if it makes any changes but for now I just hope you enjoyed the video. The trip so far is beyond my expectations!
