Let’s explore China’s Parts Unknown! On this channel, you can expect biweekly videos taking you in depth into underrated aspects of Asian (mostly China) travel, culture, and history, with a special focus on Chinese ancient towns. China has hundreds of these gorgeous old towns, some of them thousands of years old! They are pictorial paradises full of delicious soy and spicy smells, locals carrying on a traditional lifestyle, and endless hidden treasures down a maze of alleys.
But that's not all! At each destination I visit, you can expect to see me attempt to complete a travel challenge (anything from "Organize The Biggest Dance Party In Japan" to "Serenade A Stranger In Their Favorite Chinese Song").
From thorough research, I've compiled the ultimate list of the best Chinese Ancient Towns (listed below). My goal is to visit at least the top 50, and this is your invitation to come along for the adventure.

Loved your content with the history so much, I have watched many western TH-camrs making videos about Nanjing, only you did such deeper narratives. Subscribed.❤❤ Thank you so much for putting lots of efforts on it.
@@user-me7zp5hu7b thank you. It means a lot 🙏❤️
My Luxxon Eco Scooter is coming from Ningbo 😊
Wow this is amazing! Thanks for sharing ❤🎉👍👍
I thoroughly enjoyed this video!
Awesome video as always buddy, keep it up mate!
Thanks, will do!
Great video❤
@@sd8618 thank you!
The scripts on the bricks are actually where these bricks are made and by whom, for the quality guarantee. If one of them is broken, then the makers would be executed by the empire.
Great Video! DO you think it is possible to make this a day trip from chengdu, go to the top and head back to chengdu in the evening?
It would be very tight. I would recommend giving yourself two days.
@@noahkartha7155 thanks! is there a bus or further transportation up the mountain so you can skip the hiking?
@@Crackhunt42 there is a bus, but you still have to do like 1-1.5 hours hiking after that. There might also be a cable car that will shorten the hike but it wasn’t working when I was there.
I found a review from tripadvisor from a guy who did the same. Hope his schedule is helpful Schedule: - Got up at 6 and went to Chengdu East Railway station - Took train at 7.25 and arrived Emeishan at 8.50 - Took bus from Emeishan station for 5 min to the transportation center in town. That's where we had to show our passports to buy our tickets for the bus and gondola roundtrip and general entrance. All in one and you need to show the ticket a few times during the day - Bus takes 2 hours to Leipingdong, then walk 45 min (lots of crowds) to the gondola station. - Given it was Sunday, wait time at gondola another hour - Made it to golden summit around 1 p.m. - Spent 1 hour there given low visibility. But had the weather been better, plan for at least two hours - Then went back down with gondola and bus, took train back at 5.30 p.m. to Chengdu.
I ordered something from Wal Mart online and the package made a stop in Ningbo! Greetings from California, U.S.

Welcome to shaoxing ,a 2500years old city.
like this 5:37 your face is in view, and you speak so high but you obscure everything else. And then you just show still these short clips - i have no refference to place myself in those shots. I'm sure you have carefully placed the tripod there, but for me - in my chair somewhere in other place of the world, i can't connect myself to the place after you just took 3 second video of it. I want to actually see you walk with the camera, i want to hear the wind, the natural sounds of these places, interact with these places more in first person
Thanks for your feedback!
eh. i want to like your videos but half of them is either your face in 90% of the screen, or very short shots of surrounding that don't place me there. You know there are shots where you hold your camera and you walk through the place and it actually feels like you are there, with wide Field of view? Can you do something like that? And narration is good, but i think it pushes people away, cause it doesn't connect with people when you speak so pompous about "ancient and beautiful" you just repeat the same words again and again...
I'm Indonesian, right now i'm on Ningbo China will explore all about Ningbo
That's great! Let us know what you think of it.
@@noahkartha7155 beauty city i've never seen before, i'm so excited to be here

Great video. Congrats !!!
Thank you!
Fuck italy china is better
P-p-p-propagandaaaaaa
2:25 "I feel like I fully don't quite understand this place." -> "I feel like I don't fully understand this place." You're not the only person who does this nowadays, but why did you change the transcription of what you said? Was it because Grammarly or K-12 English teachers wouldn't like it? It is correct English, because you have said it and I can understand it. It is also what you said, and in a way you've censored your mistake not through editing, but changing the transcription and probably translation. In a way you've re-translated your actual English into Proper Written English(TM). The emotion changes based off of how you say it. "I feel like I fully don't quite understand this place" shows how confused you are, how you're rethinking iver and over again. That maybe you think you might understand something but you're also pretty sure that you don't quite get it. That everywhere you turn is another confusion, another thing to reconsider, and no matter what there's just something from this whole picture that you're missing. Kind of like one of Jack Skellington's song in a Nightmare Before Christmas. A mystery that can't be solved, and you're not sure if you even can solve it. "I feel like I don't fully understand this place" to me reminds me of the feeling of dumfoundedness one has when trying to understand a lesson. Maybe they understand a few things, but not all. Or maybe they are completely empty and cannot comprehend things at all. It brings about a sense of strong puzzlement. You look about you and your brain is overloaded. I mean, I might be completely wrong about your intentions and thoughts. It might have even be reversed. But that's what those two sentences strike me as.
Retreat and reflect garden....loved it
I used to live there. I've been all over Asia and this is still probably my very favorite city in the whole world. I love Ningbo. If I'm ever wealthy enough, I hope to own a property there.
Wow, fascinating! What makes Ningbo your favorite city?
南京“六朝古都”这个称呼是唐朝人给的,那个时候有很多诗词怀念南京这个“六朝古都”,有一种专门的诗词题材叫做“金陵怀古诗”。 事实上南京还陆陆续续做过其他都城,比如明朝、民国等,所以南京又称为“六朝古都、十朝都会”,而常用的“六朝古都”只是延用唐朝人的说法。
谢谢你富有见地的评论!
I am very honored to be a Ningbo native.😊 I believe that my hometown is incredibly beautiful and prosperous. Ningbo cuisine is also very delicious.😂 Regardless, I hope for the prosperity and success of my hometown and my country.❤🎉
