So you have electricity and Internet I mean people are saying they don't have Internet by commenting in you tube And also GOI is investing so much in AP is is correct
I am a Chinese-Indonesian. I once went to Beijing and Shanghai, which a a big city with a lot of skyscrapers. I never thought that other parts of China had this wonderful beauty with rich culture. Thank you for reconnecting me with my heritage through your video, it is very heartwarming.
I am from Bhutan watching this, yes miss, i can understand the dialet spoken by Monpa people. Its same to the language spoken by eastern Bhutan, where i belong to. hats off, beautiful piece you compiled.
Hi Yan! I just had to comment and tell you how much joy your videos bring me. Your commitment to bringing all the remote parts of China to the rest of us via TH-cam is so appreciated. I would never be able to see any of this irl, so I watch through the little window of my tablet and sometimes my tv. Your footage from your drone is spectacular! Better than some of the major national travel shows. You make me feel like I am secretly seeing villages, people, and landscapes that have been hidden from view for so long. I decided to become a member of your channel to support you in continuing to make these beautiful videos. They are truly life enriching. I can't thank you enough.
From an Englishman living in Taiwan - I love your videos. I was a biker and enjoyed touring Europe and Scandinavia, but these journeys are on another level entirely. I admire your passion for travel and culture and your ability to easily mix with the local people.
Thank you so much for sharing the unseen China with all of us! As an Asian American living in the US, the western media seldom display the beauty and culture within China, but rather display a lot of negativity about this country. I really hope that as more people view your videos, it will broaden their horizon and will help them see other countries in a different (and more positive) perspective! I also want to praise you for your open-mindedness and bravery in exploring these unique places! Wishing you a safe journey ahead! I can’t wait to see all the adventures in store for you! 😊❤️
We show reality which is more important than watching fake news. And the propaganda in Asian nations against us is 10x worse. Meanwhile they keep applying for visa and immigrating legally and illegally nonstop. Just ask why? If they don’t like us so much why? Also we are cool with Asian American term. Trying saying I’m a proud Japanese Chinese in China or Pakistani Indian in India. There’s no freedoms there.
I visited equally isolated remote town in Arunachal Pradesh called Anini, only about 50kms away from Medok if drawn in straight line. I was on the Indian side of border and it was such a beautiful place, that could truly be labeled as Shangri La. Thanks for the video, I wish one day China and India will normalize relations and the border crossing will make much easier in future.
@@古德雍飛 Your post is still here. A lot of posts get deleted, also mine. You are not allowed to have a 'different' opinion by Google algorithms. The same goes for humor and cynical remarks. Google has turned completely away from their former slogan of not being evil, they are just that!
@@古德雍飛 read the history of bhartha which is india now then u will understand all that what part of your and surrounding country belongs to India if don't then go and sell momos with chutney
I live in Jamaica. My grand parents are from Shenzhen and I have only been to China once. Your videos are truly amazing and have given me a very good appreciation of my heritage. Thank you for making these videos. Maybe one day I can go back to China and see some of these areas for myself.
@@heda9306It is with hindsight that one can make such a remark. Many of the older generations had migrated due to difficult and tough circumstances during those days and having 2 meals a day was a challenge. Some may not survive the perilous journey to seek their fortune outside China.
There're news reporting people From Jamaica visiting their roots in Shenzhen from time to time, the most famous guy I think is Kyle Anderson who used to play NBA , his family has Chinese Jamaican background, he later took Chinese citizenship
Hello from New York;) We love watching your journey and wish you all the best along the way. You are an inspiration and a pleasure to watch. Please keep safe and well
So very beautiful. You are very talented~~~ I enjoyed watching this very much, and will go start bingeing on your other videos. Thank for being inspiring and awesome!
Yes, here from bhutan and for the context there are so many languagues in Bhutan and Monpa langauge is very similar to the ones spoken in eastern parts of Bhutan.
@@brigitteponnighaus786 It had been hundreds or thousands years, it's hard to know why a small nation moved to other place. Maybe because of peace, or food, how knows.
@@Keefer5Também muitos povos e países mudam de local por: recursos, clima, geografia que permita melhor defesa ou até melhor agricultura ou transporte. Por exemplo a área do atual Iraque, Rio Tigre e Eufrates e a planície Mesopotâmia no meio entre eles. Viram dezenas de povos passar, viver, reduzir, e alguns até se extinguiram. Mas. Sempre um local excelente a desenvolver um povo. Veja mesmo a China. Porque não tem fronteiras fixas com a Índia? Pois quer áreas tropicais como Arunachal Pradesh, que permite uma série de áreas agrícolas, clima agradável, produtos agrícolas tropicais, rios navegáveis ao Oceano indico. E também o controle de geleiras e vales no Himalaia as o norte da Índia, porque pode permitir desviar para talvez irrigar desertos chineses, pressionar a Índia a sua esfera ao controlar as nascentes de água. É a tal Geopolítica.
@@taidelek9994 Same for Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim and Both are Significantly Buddhist Majority states too from Ancient Times and Also Funfact:-Both The Royal Families of Bhutan and Sikkim are Blood-Related and King of Sikkim is The Cousin Brother of the King of Bhutan
Having spent a large part of my life in China (qingdao ) i met and married my wife there and we came back to the UK in 2015 . My wife is from Shandong and we both miss China a lot but it's easier to live here in the UK. China is a beautiful Country. Westerners should visit and get to know China & its many different people's. Love your video ❤!!
@@antojose6902 This statement is utterly absurd! China boasts the most diverse natural landscapes and cultural heritage in the world, spanning from the majestic Himalayas to the South China Sea. It has towering mountains, vast grasslands, dense forests, tranquil lakes, and the world's longest Great Wall, all so breathtaking that they leave people speechless. China's beauty lies not only in its natural wonders but also in its thousands of years of history and culture, with treasures like the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Suzhou Gardens, many of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. How can you make such a hasty conclusion about beauty based on a few landmarks? India's Taj Mahal might be charming, but how does it compare to China's Forbidden City in terms of grandeur? China's geographical and cultural breadth far exceeds that of India, and its civilization has been building upon itself for millennia, unlike any other. On what grounds can you claim that India is more beautiful than China? This isn't just ignorance and misunderstanding of China, it's a complete distortion of the concept of beauty. Oh, and let's not forget how dirty and chaotic Indian cities are-of all the countries I've visited, India is by far the most filthy. The moment you step out of the airport, you're greeted by the stench of feces.
The moment you crossed the tunnel and the vegetation changed, it looked like India with the greenery and tea plantation. I am an Indian. I wish we had good relations with China. I so want to travel to China especially Tibet! Much love from India 🇮🇳
There is something beautiful about snow capped mountains, lined by fluffy clouds. Thanks Yan for the aerial videos. There is something to be said about having modern technology, but just as equally important keeping traditions that are sporty like archery. Those men are having just as much fun.
Beautiful videos! This is the third I've watched, you do an amazing job bringing the countryside alive. Ypu have an incredible editor too. Keep up the great work.
@@SUMANDAS-vw7tr China created Tibet. India occupied South Tibet when it was under British rule but shamelessly kept hold of it. Modern India what we know today was founded by the British, before tyjay it was just a one big mess of fragmented tribal states.
@@simonc4764 perhaps u have been widely misinformed about India it's states and it's rich culture and history. Little knowledge is a dangerous thing. First learn properly about India and then speak.
I live in Nebraska USA, which is in the center of the United States. I look forward to your videos every week. You have shown me a part of the world that I will never see in person, and it’s so interesting. Thank you! 😊
Yes indeed. I live on the west coast of Canada and am surrounded by rugged terrain, but the vistas captured by Yan show us the many hidden gems in a part of the world that’s understandably inaccessible to casual foreigners. Her videos can easily outdo those done by big production film companies👍👍
Why dont you visit China and see kt in full glory with your own eyes? Our People are there to welcome you and greet you with the best hospitality in the world.
I live in Adelaide, Australia. This is the most objective video by a Chinese person that I have seen, and I am ever so thankful to you, young lady, for it. Together with your exceptional videography and brilliant communication skills, and engaging personality, you have shown me a beautiful and fascinating part of your land that I may never get to see or experience. What's equally admirable about you is your very disarming nature that allows you to easily gain the confidence and cooperation of authorities, local folks, and others, to show us life of your people as it really is. This has enhanced the objectivity of your video, making it an immersive experience for me because you gain a very close access to people's lives and many off-the-beaten-track places. I am sure that there are many more people like you from your beautiful and diverse nation, whose videos I haven't had the fortune to see and will be equally well received by the world. The world needs to see more objective views of China from intelligent people like you, instead of just being fed the idea of a ruthless, warmongering, imperialist, overworked, robotic, and socially undiverse country, that's pedalled by a boring Western mainstream media. More power to you and keep your videos coming. 🙏
Well said! Australia's media is so biased against China and many other countries. It's fortunate we can see a different side of China from independent channels like Yan's 😊 Watching from Melbourne 👋
Nice to see our people in China ... Iam from Arunachal Pradesh East kameng district near China ... 😁😁😁 Just subscribed ur channel love from Arunachal Pradesh lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
As a researcher of history located in Arunachal Pradesh, it would be a dream come true to be allowed to travel to Medog county and pemako areas to study our brethens on the other side of the border. Before 1962, the border was porous n less militarised. Those were the prime time. Thank you for showing us the beauty of Medog.
It's absolutely stunning. I am an American 3rd generation. Ethnicity is Irish and Norwegian. I have always been drawn to learning about East and Central Asia. A few years ago, I read 'Hell or High Water' about western kayakers on the Tsangpo River. I have been donating money to Jhamste Gatsal Children's village in Towong near China border for 14 years. I started learning about Buddhism and the Tao in high school. I feel such a strong connection? Maybe I lived in Asia in a past life. Needless to say, your travelogs bring me so much joy❤ Always be safe on your journeys.
You mentioned Buddhism and Taoism, I'd like some comments. Firstly, Buddhism and Taoism are now mainly about 'religion', but do you know what they originally are? They are the ultimate mysteries, laws, and secrets about the universe. Believe it or not? The latest "science" of modern times are just in their palms, and are merely constantly approaching them! (Einstein and some top scientists have personally said this, suppose you don't know.) Buddhism and Taoism were originally philosophy and ultimate truth, while 'religionization' of them were merely personified, totemic, and formalized them. I have been studying them myself for many years. And I have always had the idea of creating a comprehensive series on TH-cam to share these ultimate truths with the world, but this project is too massive. But if I do it, I will open up a new world for the outside. As is well known, the world today is dominated by Western civilization, but I felt this Western civilization dominated world as a whole is arrogant and ignorant, because they've always believed that they are the superior and progressive side (which can be reflected in all details). For example, if I say that the latest theories of science have been clearly stated by Buddhism and Taoism at least thousands of years ago, they will find it difficult to accept, and they will say: 'Why are you (Easterners) not as good as us?' - That is simply because we constantly distance ourselves from and forget those ultimate truths, and all ancient civilizations have gone through this process. But now its time for us to slowly retrieve them.~
I am from Bhutan. You are right. Monpa people reside in Bhutan, especially in the eastern part of Bhutan. In the last part of your video where people are seen playing archery, I can hear them speaking the Tshangla language, one of the major dialects of Bhutan. We are told they migrated there from Bhutan in the early 20th century.
I love your videos! From the videography to the contents. You really bring out the authenticity of China with the most genuine observations from yourself. Beyond that you're so kind to people everywhere you go. Please be safe out there, we are excited to tag along your wonderful journeys. ❤
Thank you Yan for yet another facinating video people and geography of the disputed border area in China. As is the case in many other places in the world, the McMohan Line is a man made divide. I hope India and China have the courage and wisdom one day to resolve their border dispute peacefully. There is simple so very much to gain on both sides when the border is open again. I am a Dutch, living in Malaysia. I love your videos. Thank you Yan. You are an amazing and talented videographer
Miss Yan, thank you, that landscape with clouds and waterfalls and the green of the trees left me speechless and full of joy I follow you and this video encouraged me to write my first comment
I’m from Malaysia. I love watching your videos. They give me immence pleasure watching the various parts of China which are impossible for non-natives to travel to. I’ve made 4 trips to 4 different parts of China ; each had their different charactetistics. Trully amazing. Thanks for your videos which are very Interesting and educational
Yet another beautiful scenery especially the awesome drone shot....I have to say it again Ms.Yan, you are a natural awesome cinematographer! As an occasional biker myself, i am actually very impressed with your endurance in riding your bullet-proof little Suzuki scooter on such long distance journey with the occasional challenging terrain in some areas! Kudos to the little Suzuki scooter who were not intimidated by the other mostly big BMW GS adventure bikes you met along the way. As in other countries, it is good to see that the biking community everywhere are the same kind and friendly group of people when they see other riders no matter what bikes you ride! Safe ride Ms. Yan!!
Such a marvelous landscape of mountain range and natural beauty 😍😍 I've known about Mêdog for a while thanks to my own curiosity, having come across this curious little town by chance from exploring the Maps app at first. Then, I come to learn that this was the last rural town in China to receive a complete and functional roadway access in 2013, after previously being virtually inaccessible by everyone else on regular basis 😳😳 It's also one of the last towns in China to have been lifted out of abject poverty. I saw from different videos beforehand, the infrastructure of the town center itself and it's surprisingly modern. Esp. when you consider the location and the proximity of the place, even from Lhasa 😳😲
The Monpa people have a historical reputation as excellent porters. During the 1962 Sino-Indian War, many Monpa individuals assisted the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China by carrying supplies to the front lines. Their efforts were significant in aiding the logistics and supply chain during the conflict, showcasing their strength and dedication in challenging conditions.
I am from the far east state in india arunachal pradesh where the gelin village lies and even though i live in the southern part of my state since childhood we were pretty aware of the cultural similarities and language/ cuisines etc with the southern tibetean and Chinese communities but seeing this video now I’m getting goosebumps on the familiarity the scenery the peoples the houses and the language monpa which is one of the most well known tribes in Arunachal pradesh❤️ Thank you for this video❤️lots of love from Arunachal
Hello Yan,i am Sonam from Bhutan.The monpa people that you refereed to are not in Bhutan but in Tawang region in India .They are called Monpas .Love watching your blog and if you come to Bhutan do let me know.
There are a few that reside in central Bhutan la. dorjipenjore.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/the-vital-linkc2a0-monpas-and-their-forests.pdf
No, I think she is right … it’s not Monpa from Tawang but they are also called Pema Gopa who originally moved here from Eastern Bhutan and speak the similar dialect as Druk Sharchopa. If you speak Shadchopa, you should be able to understand. Don’t know why Chinese call them Monpa instead of Pema Gopa that Tibetans call them and they are practically Tibetan similar to Sherpas in Nepal.
@@vajraheart6052 but the people she asked introduced their selves as monpa. I dont think others can determine their ethnic right? but as a Han Chinese I dont know too much about this, though I myself had been there too.
@@vajraheart6052not only sherpa but whole of northern Nepal bordering Tibet has influenced of Tibetan culture and the people are also basically tibetans. Some migrated ages ago and some are the local inhabitants who follow tibetan culture and later became Nepali after Nepal got unified. Almost more than 25% percent of people follow tibetan Buddhism and tibetan culture in Nepal. Sherpas are the most popular but there are many other ethnic people whode language, dresses and foods are basically Tibetan.
I only discovered your channel recently and I love it. These remote regions of China are unknown to most of us in the US so I find it super interesting.
Overwhelmed by the beauty of the Himalayan Mountain ranges, the valleys, the waterfalls. Just mesmerizing in every way. The peace, tranquility and heavenly beauty of these remote border areas is breather for a human soul. Thanks a lot for letting us witness this treasure of nature through your eyes. Carry on and best of luck for your upcoming trips.
This video is underrated. You’re so brave. Even thought of driving through mountain road like this makes me terrified. You do it with scooter while filming. You deserve much. From Mongolia
I love reading all the great comments about your amazing adventures. The countryside is so beautiful and diverse. You are a true emissary for your country.
What a lovely area. I am from Canada and got to visit China years ago but only as far west as Xi'an. I would love to return and explore western China one day, especially south-western China. I hope that China and India can find peace and harmony together in the mountains.
Iam From Arunachal Pradesh India Near Tibet( China) My village is just Near the Macmohan Line Between India and China Border. Love From Arunachal Pradesh( India).
Love from Jammu Kashmir ❤️ bro Are you okay? AND you guys got network and roads ??? Because I read Chinese comments that india annexed arunachal forcefully and they are killing people over there and they don't have network to share this 🙂
Hi Yan,Thank you so much for sharing such high-quality videos. Whenever you post about Yunnan and Tibet, I feel a special connection, as my ancestry traces back to Yunnan Province (around Ruili). I thoroughly enjoyed exploring life on the other side of the McMahon Line through your content. I hope that one day I might have the opportunity to visit these places myself. Additionally, I wanted to mention that the Monpas are predominantly found in Tawang and the Dibang Valley region of Arunachal Pradesh (South Tibet). Wishing you good health and sending lots of love from across the border from NE India.
Monpas are predominantly found at Tawang and West Kameng districts of Arunachal Pradesh, India, They are not in Dibang Valley, which is inhabited by Idu Mishmis, who are also found on the other side of border in Chinese part. Thanks.
It was eye opening to watch yr video. Especially the part where u explain that Motuo is not accessible for 8 months every year due to heavy snowing. That means if there is emergency, it will become very challenging for the people living there. Those sceneries were just stunningly beautiful! Thak you.
This is how India annexed South Tibet and became today's so-called Arunachal Pradesh. 1912: In the first full year of the Republic of China after the fall of the Qing dynasty, the United States National Geographic Magazine dedicated an issue to China. Accompanying the issue is a large and detailed fold-out map of China. The map clearly shows that Dirang Dzong (德讓宗) and Tawang (達旺) are within the boundary of China. 1943: British India likely calculated that dealing with the Lhasa government was easier than with the Republic of China's Nationalist Government in extracting land concessions and proposed to the United States to recognize Tibet's right to exchange diplomatic representatives with other powers. The Americans rejected this proposal: "The Government of the United States has borne in mind the fact that the Chinese Government has long claimed suzerainty over Tibet and that the Chinese constitution lists Tibet among areas constituting the territory of the Republic of China. This Government has at no time raised a question regarding either of those claims." 1944: British India annexed Dirang Dzong (德讓宗), a Tibetan-settled area. Dzong means fort in Tibetan. The Chinese Government (the Nationalist Government of the Republic of China, seated in Kunming at the time because of World War II) protested to the British. So did the Tibetan Lhasa government. 1945: British India intruded into the tribal area of South Tibet. February 1947: The Chinese Nationalist Government lodged a complaint with the Indian mission, which was by then newly established in China, on British India's border intrusions into Chinese territory. August 1947: Britain left South Asia, and India was created as the successor polity to the departed British. India's creation means that a country that historically did not exist suddenly appears on China's doorstep. October 1947: The Tibetan Lhasa Government dispatched a formal request to New Delhi, asking the newly independent Indian Government to withdraw all its predecessors' intrusions into the territory between the McMahon Line and the traditional border beneath the foothills and return a wide swath of territory from Ladakh to Assam, including Sikkim and the Darjeeling district. 1949: When the defeat of the Nationalist Government in China's civil war was imminent, the Republic of China's ambassador in New Delhi reminded the Indian Government that China did not recognize the McMahon Line and held the Simla Convention invalid. October 1949: The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) took control of the mainland, and its civil war rival, the Republic of China, retreated to Taiwan. December 1949: India recognized the People's Republic of China as the legitimate government, effectively cutting off the diplomatic channel the Republic of China used to deliver its protests to India. February 1951: India annexed Tawang (達旺), the birthplace of the Sixth Dalai Lama and home to the four-hundred-year-old Tawang Monastery. The Tibetan authorities in Lhasa protested but were simply informed by the Indian political officer that India was taking over Tawang. The Tibetans protested again, accusing the Indian Government of 'seizing as its own what did not belong to it.' The Tibetans went on to ask New Delhi to withdraw its forces from Tawang immediately. The protests were ignored. The Republic of China (which had already retreated to Taiwan by then and had no diplomatic relation with India) also vehemently denounced India's territorial travesty. Curiously the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) made no noise. 1954: India published a new map showing South Tibet as part of India. The map also shows the two neighbors of China, Sikkim and Bhutan, as part of India. Sikkim has been a neighbor of China for many hundreds of years and has enjoyed good relations. In the 18th century, Sikkim was briefly overrun by the Nepalese Gorkhas, and the Sikkim king fled to China seeking help. The then Qianlong emperor dispatched an expedition to Sikkim, expelled the Gorkhas, and restored Sikkim's sovereignty and independence. Sikkim remained unmolested for the rest of its history until it was annexed by India in 1975. Bhutan is another neighbor of China, and their proximity is evident simply by comparing the flags of Bhutan and the Qing dynasty of China. January 1959: The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) commented for the first time on the issue of South Tibet when Zhou Enlai, in a letter to Nehru, offered to concede South Tibet to India. However, India rejected the offer, as it also claims Aksai Chin as part of India. Aksai Chin is located in an area that is very hard to access from the Indian side due to difficult terrain. This is evidenced by the fact that China was able to build a road there over two years without India even noticing, and India only became aware of it when reading an article from China describing the construction project. This clearly indicates that India not only has no control over the area but also lacks visual access to the region. 1960: India started establishing posts (border markers) north of South Tibet (north of the McMahon Line) and proclaiming that it has the right to unilaterally 'improve' the McMahon Line as it sees fit. October 1962: After years of warning, China attacked India's position in South Tibet and recovered Tawang shortly. Three weeks later, in a second wave, China recovered the whole of South Tibet. November 1962: China unilaterally withdrew back to the north of the McMahon line. 1975: India annexed Sikkim. 1987: India made South Tibet a state and renamed it the so-called Arunachal Pradesh. The Republic of China (Taiwan) put out a statement denouncing India. Here is the statement: "In regard to the issue of the Indian government's illegal occupation of our country's territory and the establishment of the so-called 'Arunachal Pradesh,' the foreign ministry of the Republic of China issued the following announcement at midnight: India's illegal occupation of our country's territory has been repeatedly stated by the Government of the Republic of China as something it will not recognize. Recently, the Indian Congress unilaterally passed the establishment of 'Arunachal Pradesh' to the south of the so-called McMahon Line. The Indian Government also made it a state. The Government of the Republic of China once again solemnly proclaims that the Government of India intends to legitimize its illegal occupation of Chinese territory. The Government of the Republic of China regards this as illegal, void, and absolutely not recognized." 2008: With the return of Hong Kong to China, Britain effectively withdrew from its colonial involvement in Asia, and Tibet lost its utility as a potential bargaining chip in British negotiations with China concerning Hong Kong. With no remaining interests in Tibet, Britain could afford to be forthright for once. The British government issued a statement acknowledging China's sovereignty over Tibet (previously recognized as suzerainty, not sovereignty). This statement, endorsed by both the Conservative and Labour parties, is notable for its candor in admitting Britain's past territorial ambitions in Tibet and adopts an almost apologetic tone. Here is an excerpt: "...But our position is unusual for one reason of history that has been imported into the present: the anachronism of our formal position on whether Tibet is part of China, and whether in fact we harbour continued designs to see the break-up of China. We do not. Our ability to get our points across has sometimes been clouded by the position the UK took at the start of the 20th century on the status of Tibet, a position based on the geopolitics of the time. Our recognition of China's "special position" in Tibet developed from the outdated concept of suzerainty. Some have used this to cast doubt on the aims we are pursuing and to claim that we are denying Chinese sovereignty over a large part of its own territory. We have made clear to the Chinese Government, and publicly, that we do not support Tibetan independence. Like every other EU member state, and the United States, we regard Tibet as part of the People's Republic of China. " 2014: A Tibetan Chinese named Nido Tania from Arunachal Pradesh (occupied South Tibet) went to Delhi and was beaten to death because he 'looked Chinese.' 2024: In the 1990s, India subtly probed the People's Republic of China (PRC), leading to the inference that China's position on South Tibet had hardened, despite the PRC officially maintaining ambiguity on the matter. It has become evident that China's earlier offer to cede South Tibet is no longer available, as China has explicitly stated that South Tibet is part of its territory. This stance mirrors the positions of both the Tibetan Lhasa Government and its civil war rival, the Republic of China (Taiwan).

As an Indian, I always used to look at the map of our neighbor China and wonder at its huge scale and size and was always very curious of all it's beauty all over and the wonderous himalayan region we share and the majestic Tibet, through your channel and eyes I have been able to realize my wish to see these lovely hidden remote places! thank you! :)
Wow! Magnificent scenery and great editing as the music really adds to the effect! Thanks for sharing your journeys and letting us see these fantastic places and people.
India has very good relation with China from ancient times.... Our kings used to do cultural and philosophical exchange. Hope our relationship get well again. ❤ From India 🇮🇳🤗
Indians now want to be another Anglo-Saxon Imperialist in the name of democracy, but this will diverse its attention and effort from development to war which will also leave India in forever dire straits of poverty.

How much I envy you for this trip to Medog. I always wished that this area will be open to foreign visitors but it was only a dream. Thanks for this very beautiful video and the great pictures/film you made on this trip. Wishing you all the best and good luck for your continuing trip of Eastern Tibet.
You can visit Arunachal a state in India the other part which was shown in this video is my state Arunachal. You’ll get the same vibes and scenery. Also in the video where the guys whose ethnicity were monpa is one of the tribe in Arunachal

*My Chinese wife would never ever consider doing what you do* I'm curious, though, about what you find dangerous in what she is doing. From my perspective, exploring the land and engaging with the community is an enriching experience, one that helps create lasting memories and connections.

Hi Yan! I just had to comment and tell you how much joy your videos bring me. Your commitment to bringing all the remote parts of China to the rest of us via TH-cam is so appreciated. I would never be able to see any of this irl, so I watch through the little window of my tablet and sometimes my tv. Your footage from your drone is spectacular! Better than some of the major national travel shows. You make me feel like I am secretly seeing villages, people, and landscapes that have been hidden from view for so long. I decided to become a member of your channel to support you in continuing to make these beautiful videos. They are truly life enriching. I can't thank you enough.
Thank you 🥰
From an Englishman living in Taiwan - I love your videos. I was a biker and enjoyed touring Europe and Scandinavia, but these journeys are on another level entirely. I admire your passion for travel and culture and your ability to easily mix with the local people.

Thank you so much for sharing the unseen China with all of us! As an Asian American living in the US, the western media seldom display the beauty and culture within China, but rather display a lot of negativity about this country. I really hope that as more people view your videos, it will broaden their horizon and will help them see other countries in a different (and more positive) perspective!
I also want to praise you for your open-mindedness and bravery in exploring these unique places! Wishing you a safe journey ahead! I can’t wait to see all the adventures in store for you! 😊❤️
How are you noel lee
So the negative things are not important?
What do you mean.
We show reality which is more important than watching fake news. And the propaganda in Asian nations against us is 10x worse. Meanwhile they keep applying for visa and immigrating legally and illegally nonstop. Just ask why? If they don’t like us so much why? Also we are cool with Asian American term. Trying saying I’m a proud Japanese Chinese in China or Pakistani Indian in India. There’s no freedoms there.
I visited equally isolated remote town in Arunachal Pradesh called Anini, only about 50kms away from Medok if drawn in straight line. I was on the Indian side of border and it was such a beautiful place, that could truly be labeled as Shangri La. Thanks for the video, I wish one day China and India will normalize relations and the border crossing will make much easier in future.
Indian China's border conflict is not all of both relationship, hope one day will settle peacefully
I live in AP from the very same district that of Anini, and have living distant relatives on the other side of the border.

@@Keefer5Também muitos povos e países mudam de local por: recursos, clima, geografia que permita melhor defesa ou até melhor agricultura ou transporte.

Sempre um local excelente a desenvolver um povo. Veja mesmo a China. Porque não tem fronteiras fixas com a Índia? Pois quer áreas tropicais como Arunachal Pradesh, que permite uma série de áreas agrícolas, clima agradável, produtos agrícolas tropicais, rios navegáveis ao Oceano indico. E também o controle de geleiras e vales no Himalaia as o norte da Índia, porque pode permitir desviar para talvez irrigar desertos chineses, pressionar a Índia a sua esfera ao controlar as nascentes de água.

@@antojose6902 India looks like shit
@@antojose6902 This statement is utterly absurd! China boasts the most diverse natural landscapes and cultural heritage in the world, spanning from the majestic Himalayas to the South China Sea. It has towering mountains, vast grasslands, dense forests, tranquil lakes, and the world's longest Great Wall, all so breathtaking that they leave people speechless. China's beauty lies not only in its natural wonders but also in its thousands of years of history and culture, with treasures like the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Suzhou Gardens, many of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. How can you make such a hasty conclusion about beauty based on a few landmarks? India's Taj Mahal might be charming, but how does it compare to China's Forbidden City in terms of grandeur? China's geographical and cultural breadth far exceeds that of India, and its civilization has been building upon itself for millennia, unlike any other. On what grounds can you claim that India is more beautiful than China? This isn't just ignorance and misunderstanding of China, it's a complete distortion of the concept of beauty. Oh, and let's not forget how dirty and chaotic Indian cities are-of all the countries I've visited, India is by far the most filthy. The moment you step out of the airport, you're greeted by the stench of feces.
The moment you crossed the tunnel and the vegetation changed, it looked like India with the greenery and tea plantation.

I live in Adelaide, Australia. This is the most objective video by a Chinese person that I have seen, and I am ever so thankful to you, young lady, for it. Together with your exceptional videography and brilliant communication skills, and engaging personality, you have shown me a beautiful and fascinating part of your land that I may never get to see or experience. What's equally admirable about you is your very disarming nature that allows you to easily gain the confidence and cooperation of authorities, local folks, and others, to show us life of your people as it really is. This has enhanced the objectivity of your video, making it an immersive experience for me because you gain a very close access to people's lives and many off-the-beaten-track places. I am sure that there are many more people like you from your beautiful and diverse nation, whose videos I haven't had the fortune to see and will be equally well received by the world. The world needs to see more objective views of China from intelligent people like you, instead of just being fed the idea of a ruthless, warmongering, imperialist, overworked, robotic, and socially undiverse country, that's pedalled by a boring Western mainstream media. More power to you and keep your videos coming. 🙏

As a researcher of history located in Arunachal Pradesh, it would be a dream come true to be allowed to travel to Medog county and pemako areas to study our brethens on the other side of the border. Before 1962, the border was porous n less militarised. Those were the prime time. Thank you for showing us the beauty of Medog.
It's absolutely stunning. I am an American 3rd generation. Ethnicity is Irish and Norwegian. I have always been drawn to learning about East and Central Asia. A few years ago, I read 'Hell or High Water' about western kayakers on the Tsangpo River. I have been donating money to Jhamste Gatsal Children's village in Towong near China border for 14 years. I started learning about Buddhism and the Tao in high school. I feel such a strong connection? Maybe I lived in Asia in a past life. Needless to say, your travelogs bring me so much joy❤ Always be safe on your journeys.
You mentioned Buddhism and Taoism, I'd like some comments. Firstly, Buddhism and Taoism are now mainly about 'religion', but do you know what they originally are? They are the ultimate mysteries, laws, and secrets about the universe. Believe it or not? The latest "science" of modern times are just in their palms, and are merely constantly approaching them! (Einstein and some top scientists have personally said this, suppose you don't know.) Buddhism and Taoism were originally philosophy and ultimate truth, while 'religionization' of them were merely personified, totemic, and formalized them. I have been studying them myself for many years. And I have always had the idea of creating a comprehensive series on TH-cam to share these ultimate truths with the world, but this project is too massive. But if I do it, I will open up a new world for the outside. As is well known, the world today is dominated by Western civilization, but I felt this Western civilization dominated world as a whole is arrogant and ignorant, because they've always believed that they are the superior and progressive side (which can be reflected in all details). For example, if I say that the latest theories of science have been clearly stated by Buddhism and Taoism at least thousands of years ago, they will find it difficult to accept, and they will say: 'Why are you (Easterners) not as good as us?' - That is simply because we constantly distance ourselves from and forget those ultimate truths, and all ancient civilizations have gone through this process. But now its time for us to slowly retrieve them.~
All things are connected to create holism. Imbalance occurs when things are dis-connected. Blessiing to you.
I am from Bhutan. You are right. Monpa people reside in Bhutan, especially in the eastern part of Bhutan. In the last part of your video where people are seen playing archery, I can hear them speaking the Tshangla language, one of the major dialects of Bhutan.

I love your adventures. I am amazed at the road building in China.
Such a marvelous landscape of mountain range and natural beauty 😍😍 I've known about Mêdog for a while thanks to my own curiosity, having come across this curious little town by chance from exploring the Maps app at first.
Then, I come to learn that this was the last rural town in China to receive a complete and functional roadway access in 2013, after previously being virtually inaccessible by everyone else on regular basis 😳😳
It's also one of the last towns in China to have been lifted out of abject poverty. I saw from different videos beforehand, the infrastructure of the town center itself and it's surprisingly modern. Esp. when you consider the location and the proximity of the place, even from Lhasa 😳😲
The Monpa people have a historical reputation as excellent porters. During the 1962 Sino-Indian War, many Monpa individuals assisted the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China by carrying supplies to the front lines. Their efforts were significant in aiding the logistics and supply chain during the conflict, showcasing their strength and dedication in challenging conditions.

This is how India annexed South Tibet and became today's so-called Arunachal Pradesh.
1912: In the first full year of the Republic of China after the fall of the Qing dynasty, the United States National Geographic Magazine dedicated an issue to China. Accompanying the issue is a large and detailed fold-out map of China. The map clearly shows that Dirang Dzong (德讓宗) and Tawang (達旺) are within the boundary of China.
1943: British India likely calculated that dealing with the Lhasa government was easier than with the Republic of China's Nationalist Government in extracting land concessions and proposed to the United States to recognize Tibet's right to exchange diplomatic representatives with other powers. The Americans rejected this proposal:
"The Government of the United States has borne in mind the fact that the Chinese Government has long claimed suzerainty over Tibet and that the Chinese constitution lists Tibet among areas constituting the territory of the Republic of China. This Government has at no time raised a question regarding either of those claims."
1944: British India annexed Dirang Dzong (德讓宗), a Tibetan-settled area. Dzong means fort in Tibetan. The Chinese Government (the Nationalist Government of the Republic of China, seated in Kunming at the time because of World War II) protested to the British. So did the Tibetan Lhasa government.
1945: British India intruded into the tribal area of South Tibet.
February 1947: The Chinese Nationalist Government lodged a complaint with the Indian mission, which was by then newly established in China, on British India's border intrusions into Chinese territory.
August 1947: Britain left South Asia, and India was created as the successor polity to the departed British. India's creation means that a country that historically did not exist suddenly appears on China's doorstep.
October 1947: The Tibetan Lhasa Government dispatched a formal request to New Delhi, asking the newly independent Indian Government to withdraw all its predecessors' intrusions into the territory between the McMahon Line and the traditional border beneath the foothills and return a wide swath of territory from Ladakh to Assam, including Sikkim and the Darjeeling district.
1949: When the defeat of the Nationalist Government in China's civil war was imminent, the Republic of China's ambassador in New Delhi reminded the Indian Government that China did not recognize the McMahon Line and held the Simla Convention invalid.
October 1949: The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) took control of the mainland, and its civil war rival, the Republic of China, retreated to Taiwan.
December 1949: India recognized the People's Republic of China as the legitimate government, effectively cutting off the diplomatic channel the Republic of China used to deliver its protests to India.
February 1951: India annexed Tawang (達旺), the birthplace of the Sixth Dalai Lama and home to the four-hundred-year-old Tawang Monastery. The Tibetan authorities in Lhasa protested but were simply informed by the Indian political officer that India was taking over Tawang. The Tibetans protested again, accusing the Indian Government of 'seizing as its own what did not belong to it.' The Tibetans went on to ask New Delhi to withdraw its forces from Tawang immediately. The protests were ignored. The Republic of China (which had already retreated to Taiwan by then and had no diplomatic relation with India) also vehemently denounced India's territorial travesty. Curiously the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) made no noise.
1954: India published a new map showing South Tibet as part of India. The map also shows the two neighbors of China, Sikkim and Bhutan, as part of India. Sikkim has been a neighbor of China for many hundreds of years and has enjoyed good relations. In the 18th century, Sikkim was briefly overrun by the Nepalese Gorkhas, and the Sikkim king fled to China seeking help. The then Qianlong emperor dispatched an expedition to Sikkim, expelled the Gorkhas, and restored Sikkim's sovereignty and independence. Sikkim remained unmolested for the rest of its history until it was annexed by India in 1975. Bhutan is another neighbor of China, and their proximity is evident simply by comparing the flags of Bhutan and the Qing dynasty of China.
January 1959: The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) commented for the first time on the issue of South Tibet when Zhou Enlai, in a letter to Nehru, offered to concede South Tibet to India. However, India rejected the offer, as it also claims Aksai Chin as part of India. Aksai Chin is located in an area that is very hard to access from the Indian side due to difficult terrain. This is evidenced by the fact that China was able to build a road there over two years without India even noticing, and India only became aware of it when reading an article from China describing the construction project. This clearly indicates that India not only has no control over the area but also lacks visual access to the region.
1960: India started establishing posts (border markers) north of South Tibet (north of the McMahon Line) and proclaiming that it has the right to unilaterally 'improve' the McMahon Line as it sees fit.
October 1962: After years of warning, China attacked India's position in South Tibet and recovered Tawang shortly. Three weeks later, in a second wave, China recovered the whole of South Tibet.
November 1962: China unilaterally withdrew back to the north of the McMahon line.
1975: India annexed Sikkim.
1987: India made South Tibet a state and renamed it the so-called Arunachal Pradesh. The Republic of China (Taiwan) put out a statement denouncing India. Here is the statement:
"In regard to the issue of the Indian government's illegal occupation of our country's territory and the establishment of the so-called 'Arunachal Pradesh,' the foreign ministry of the Republic of China issued the following announcement at midnight: India's illegal occupation of our country's territory has been repeatedly stated by the Government of the Republic of China as something it will not recognize. Recently, the Indian Congress unilaterally passed the establishment of 'Arunachal Pradesh' to the south of the so-called McMahon Line. The Indian Government also made it a state. The Government of the Republic of China once again solemnly proclaims that the Government of India intends to legitimize its illegal occupation of Chinese territory. The Government of the Republic of China regards this as illegal, void, and absolutely not recognized."
2008: With the return of Hong Kong to China, Britain effectively withdrew from its colonial involvement in Asia, and Tibet lost its utility as a potential bargaining chip in British negotiations with China concerning Hong Kong. With no remaining interests in Tibet, Britain could afford to be forthright for once. The British government issued a statement acknowledging China's sovereignty over Tibet (previously recognized as suzerainty, not sovereignty). This statement, endorsed by both the Conservative and Labour parties, is notable for its candor in admitting Britain's past territorial ambitions in Tibet and adopts an almost apologetic tone. Here is an excerpt:
"...But our position is unusual for one reason of history that has been imported into the present: the anachronism of our formal position on whether Tibet is part of China, and whether in fact we harbour continued designs to see the break-up of China. We do not.
Our ability to get our points across has sometimes been clouded by the position the UK took at the start of the 20th century on the status of Tibet, a position based on the geopolitics of the time. Our recognition of China's "special position" in Tibet developed from the outdated concept of suzerainty. Some have used this to cast doubt on the aims we are pursuing and to claim that we are denying Chinese sovereignty over a large part of its own territory. We have made clear to the Chinese Government, and publicly, that we do not support Tibetan independence. Like every other EU member state, and the United States, we regard Tibet as part of the People's Republic of China. "
2014: A Tibetan Chinese named Nido Tania from Arunachal Pradesh (occupied South Tibet) went to Delhi and was beaten to death because he 'looked Chinese.'
2024: In the 1990s, India subtly probed the People's Republic of China (PRC), leading to the inference that China's position on South Tibet had hardened, despite the PRC officially maintaining ambiguity on the matter. It has become evident that China's earlier offer to cede South Tibet is no longer available, as China has explicitly stated that South Tibet is part of its territory. This stance mirrors the positions of both the Tibetan Lhasa Government and its civil war rival, the Republic of China (Taiwan).
The British didn't put their goggles on when divided inda and China..🧐🥸.

Love your adventures. The vistas, the music, the education, and wonder bring such beauty and imagination to life! Thank you for your bravery!
Award winning quality footage.
Yan, your Suzuki scooter is holding up so well after thousands of kilometers in varying elevations and in extreme weather and road conditions! You should make a review of the scooter at the end of your Season 2 journey! They should sponsor you when you do Season 3!

As an Indian, I always used to look at the map of our neighbor China and wonder at its huge scale and size and was always very curious of all it's beauty all over and the wonderous himalayan region we share and the majestic Tibet, through your channel and eyes I have been able to realize my wish to see these lovely hidden remote places! thank you! :)

Indians now want to be another Anglo-Saxon Imperialist in the name of democracy, but this will diverse its attention and effort from development to war which will also leave India in forever dire straits of poverty.

How much I envy you for this trip to Medog. I always wished that this area will be open to foreign visitors but it was only a dream. Thanks for this very beautiful video and the great pictures/film you made on this trip. Wishing you all the best and good luck for your continuing trip of Eastern Tibet.
Thank you 🥰
You can visit Arunachal a state in India the other part which was shown in this video is my state Arunachal. You’ll get the same vibes and scenery. Also in the video where the guys whose ethnicity were monpa is one of the tribe in Arunachal

Wow! You younger lady are seemingly fearless in many respects. My Chinese wife would never ever consider doing what you do. I guess it takes all kinds to make the world go round. Thanks for your informative videos. Oh, I hope you are enjoying yourself and creating many lasting memories.
*My Chinese wife would never ever consider doing what you do* I'm curious, though, about what you find dangerous in what she is doing. From my perspective, exploring the land and engaging with the community is an enriching experience, one that helps create lasting memories and connections.
I am a woman and would travel to China. But the high attitudes would bother me terribly sad to say.
