    This time I am back to travels in China. Since few years my burning destination in China was Xiamen and the Gulangyu car-free Island. Something carefree islands are even difficult to imagine in China! but not here! This island used to be part of British, Japanese, Dutch and Americans! Today it's part of the history and UNESCO PROTECTED!
    Well, welcome to Gulangyu Island, something that Europeans left in China, today it's part of history and for sure, one of the most visited places in China! Every year there are 10 MILLION PEOPLE VISITING ISLAND! but only 20.000 actually live there! In this videos I will show you in details difference between Chinese houses and europeans....Check it out and tell me if you want to visit this island?

    The cage of the window is the way of preventing kids from falling out of window. Not for guarding against others. It happened many times that adults left their kids home alone and tragedy happened.

      @@canalesjuan356 yes! parents work very long hours in China... grandparents can't handle much kids here now... they pass them cellphone and iPad and they just play... but I am sure there is different solution for the cages in the windows! there must be.. since in Europe or any other 6 continents I traveled to, I never saw cages on the windows! unless its grand floor, then yes, but otherwise, never. I am not sure where are you from... but 100% you don't put cages on the balcony of the apartment floor 30! do you?

    Many reasons. The first is child safety. The second is typhoons. Many people like to plant on their balconies, and China has more typhoons, storms and floods than Europe, so it's easy for pots to blow over and hurt people. China is more densely populated than most of the world. The US also has this kind of weather, but the houses are wooden and rarely have a first floor. Even if there is a first floor, there is no balcony.

      Well, what I learn from Chinese people is that they are really afraid that someone will break to their home and steal TV or something! They told me that it’s even possible on the floor 30th ! 😂 so they put this cages to fill save from robbery… about Typhoon 🌀well, I live here on the floor 30th and honestly I don’t feel that Typhoon 🌀 can take my plants away on the floor 30th! Unless it’s direct hit ! 🤔

      @@SoloTravelingGirl Travelling to China's big cities is not recommended, especially the paid tourist attractions, which are usually terrible, overcrowded and noisy. It is the smaller towns and rural areas that really reflect Chinese reality and culture, such as Putian, Quanzhou, Longyan and Chaozhou near Xiamen. You can even go to towns and villages in the middle west where, despite the underdeveloped economy, there is absolutely no problem with law and order. The only thing you will have to deal with is people looking for your photo, many of whom may never have seen a foreigner before in their lives. You have to be mentally prepared for that.

      Yeah! It was place where they were exchanging good for centuries it was very important place when China opened for the world ! There was very big and important port! So today it continues with Port tradition! It’s between Hong Kong and Taiwan! Esencial for Chinese economy born in the past and now!

So I rushed to another station, 2 hours from my home and I got a ticket but I lost 1 days! I had to come back 1 day ahead cause there weren’t any tickets available. So… I didn’t go to Tulou… 😫😫😫😫
