As a South Korean, I really enjoyed your video! I've heard about Yanji(연길, 延吉) many times in the media here, but this is my first time seeing its scenery. There are many Korean signs, but some of them seem to be direct translations from Chinese, and they are difficult for me to understand.
The actual name of this place is called 'Gando', there is a secessionist movement of ethnic Koreans here for Gando independence. Korean nationalists have a rightful claim of this Korean territory China is occupying.
yeah... I am Korean-American and I lived in LA area too. There are some Yanji ppl in LA area. Yanji ppl are speaking very different dialect of Korean language - some of expression or words are totally different from standard south Korean language. I heard their conversation but I understand only 60% of them. sometime they use their own Korean slang to conceal its meaning though. anyway, its nice to see what it looks like.
@@jovenbuenojude The Chinese border guards was given permission to allow the escaping Korean refugees from the Japanese into China. Even fed the staving Koreans with food.
In addition, Korean refugees who fled to Soviet territory during the period when Korea was a colony of the Japanese Empire were forcibly relocated to Central Asia by Stalin. They were known as 'Kareiski', and their descendants still live in the region today.
Nice video，diversity is the character of this region, i'm a local korean ethnic who's watching your video from Yanji, very objective introduction BTW, thumbs up！！

First time I know about Yanbian is from South Korean movies. I'm a South Korean movie lover and especially Korean gangster movies lots of gangsters or antagonist either from Busan with their distinctive accent or Yanbian immigrants. Example is The Outlaw 2017 starred Ma Dong-seok(The Roundup series, Marvel's Eternals, Train to Busan), The Yellow Sea 2010 starred by Ha Jung-woo(The Berlin File, Along with the Gods series, and Kundo: Age of the Rampant), and New World 2013 starred by Lee Jung-jae(Squid Game and The Acolyte/Star Wars saga), Choi Min-sik(Oldboy, Exhuma, The Admiral: Roaring Currents), Hwang Jung-min(Veteran, The Wailing, Ode to my Father)both are very successful box-office and highly praised well reviewed movies in South Korea.
As a Chinese, I've watched so many vlogs made by Korean visting this area, basically every single Korean TH-camr would visit this city and enjoy the food and watch N Korea from the Chinese side.
The older generation of city dwellers are the happiest people in China. When they were young, the government allocated apartments and jobs to them. Now that they are old, they receive pensions even though they didn’t contribute when they were younger. This allows them to have free time to dance all around the country. However, people from the countryside are the saddest. They only receive about 100 RMB a month, so they end up picking up trash across the country.
This is basically not ture...you don't know older generation's contribution when they were young...all of them received minimum wage and food supplies for much longer working hours...they suffered a lot before retirement
Are those retail shops stacked in the building? I’m not surprised to see businesses concentrated in a building. Office buildings are also massively stacked businesses sometimes with over 100 floors full of businesses.
The word - Third Korea - caught my attention. Been a guy that is able many language including Mandarin , Japanese & a bit of Korean Always been fascinated of the North Korea and Chinese cities or town that are located near to their borders. Are you able to find rare North Korean stuff or products here as well? Keep up the good work mate
This is really neat to know that people speak both Korean and Chinese in a certain part of China. Yanjin City. Very neat. Ni Hao and Anonyonghaseyo everyone.
My wife and I were in Yanji Jul-Aug 2023. Loved the place. Will definitely go back. Great food, great people and the cleanest place we’ve been to in CN so far.
Just as the official languages of Switzerland are German, French and Italian, and the official languages of Canada are English and French, The official languages of China are Mandarin, Cantonese, and Mongolian "Korean" Uyghur. For reference, Korean, which was also a colony during the Japanese Empire (1905-1945), was also an official language. In other words, although King Sejong created Hangul (korean alphabet),.... the research, dissemination, and development of modern Hangul were thanks to the budget of the Japanese Government-General of Korea.
Very interesting. This reminds me of a town in Laos locationed in the golden triangle. If i didn't know any better, i would think i was in some small town that's part of China. The signs around town were all in Laos and Chinese.
1.YES 2.Their origins can be traced back to different historical periods and various factors： Early Migration: As early as the mid-19th century, due to historical reasons, residents from the Korean Peninsula began to migrate to the fertile lands along the Yalu and Tumen Rivers. The Qing government implemented a policy of "settling the border with immigrants," leading to a large influx of Korean immigrants into the Yanbian area of Northeast China, forming stable settlements and communities. Political Factors: After the Qing government lifted the ban, more Koreans migrated to the Northeast region of China. Especially after Japan annexed Korea, Yanbian became a region of tense border issues. Japan, under the pretext of "protecting Koreans," sent troops to invade the towns under the jurisdiction of Yanji Hall, leading to more Korean migrations to the area. Economic Factors: Due to poverty and natural disasters on the Korean Peninsula, many Koreans had to migrate to foreign lands in search of survival opportunities. The natural environment and social background of the Yanbian area provided conditions for the migration and survival of the Korean people, allowing them to form stable communities here. Policy Guidance: In 1936, the puppet Manchukuo government and the Governor-General of Korea jointly formulated the "Outline for Guiding Koreans in Manchuria," deciding to immigrate ten thousand households from Korea each year and to regard Korean immigrants as "constituent elements" of the citizens of Manchukuo. These immigrants were arranged in group villages, especially in the Jiandao Province (i.e., the Yanbian area), where a large number of group villages were built to receive Korean refugees. Cultural Integration: The formation of the Yanbian Korean ethnic group is also related to the integration with other ethnic groups in China. In the development of the Northeast frontier and the struggle against imperialism and feudalism, the Korean people, together with other ethnic groups, shared weal and woe, forming deep friendships and inseparable relationships.
You should study Asian history. Yanji in China and North and South Korea are the same people. They speak the same language and use the same script, just because they live in different countries for political reasons, so there is no "Korean influence", you see?
@@user-cnksi223 There's not enough evidence to prove it. Despite the high international influence of Korea, the history used in the world is dominated by the history of Korea recorded in China, because you did not have your own writing before King Sejong. The identity of civilization requires a written heritage, and North Korea does not have one, so no matter what you say, there is no proof.
I know that the Manchurian area was ancient Korean territory. Although the territory of Korea was reduced due to historical events, the original territory of Korea was 10 times larger than it is now.
manchus and Koreans diverged then proto machus kicked Koreans out. Modern Koreans are descendants of Silla not Gorguyeo. So they actually expanded to the north.
Truth is within the range of artillery, Koreans are just untouchables of Eastern Asia who was insulted by surrounding great powers repeatedly in history
1:02 this stacked business aesthetic is so common in asia, japan has them, south korea has them.. even places like malaysia stacks shops like this. Def not common in the west
I think in China, people just put up with the noise. It's expected. The exception seems to be when the square dancing crowd starts dancing near residential areas, and people trying to rest and have their kids do homework have nowhere to hide, and conflicts erupt. Here, as long as the park is not near a residential area, and its during the day, probably no one cares.
4:12 “Whatcha lookin at me gut fer?” -Phil Collins Exactly how effective is this to cool down? I mean, it’s hot where I live too, but never in my years have I seen anyone do this.
LOL - How effective is this to cool down? Basically not effective at all. 🤣🤣 You should try pulling off a Beijing Bikini where you live and see what kind of reactions you get. 😎
Cool to see the region that's the ancestral land of ancient Koreans who came from the north. Most people don't know that Korean people and kingdoms inhabited and comprised what is northeast China for millennia; from Liaoning, Jilin, to Heilongjian, these were Koreanic and Tungusic-speaking peoples' lands.
I agree. South Korea, North Korea and Yanbian is the 3rd Korea. You can experience every Korean culture in Yanbian, instead of visiting Seoul or Pyongyang. But nobody knows about Yanbian 😂 especially in Japan here. Japanese loves Korean culture & foods very much. I want many Japanese to visit Yanbian Korean Prefecture!
It's interesting that they are listening and dancing to South Korean music, rather than North Korean music, which might align more closely with socialist movements.
I should travel in this part of China because at least I know Korean, so I can at least read and maybe find some people who know Korean (one of the dancing groups was obviously Korean).

Doubt so. Because if it was part of Korean kingdom , why only a so few of ethnic Korean here compare to Korean peninsular? Ethnic Korean here are not native to the land but migrated from Northern part of the Korean peninsular
If you back to the states of your country see the Korean immigrates people and children in the US don't see they came from Northeast China Yianbian there and they're came from Korea also the Koreans in the US.
This may be a political issue, but I heard that as part of the Chinese government's policy of assimilating ethnic minorities, Han Chinese people have been relocated and Korean language education has been reduced, which has diluted their identity. It's a shame that culture is disappearing.
@@peanutjam as a Han chinese,we're not allowed to speak dialects,every language is being replaced with mandarin ,not only ethnic.Hans also speaks cantonese,Fujian dialects and so on.
It is true that the Government is pushing heavily for a national official language which is Mandarin. The assimilation narrative isn't though. The Han assimilation and migration did happen in the past but it no longer the official policies of the Chinese govt now. They have recently pushed out more mandates to preserve, encourage and teach culture related to the autonomous region. Most culture programs in those regions are subsidized and protected to encourage the proliferating of that culture associated for that region. For example, the current direction for language is that mandarin will be taught as the official language, but the cultural language of the group will be used to facilitate that learning. So basically, they will use Korean to teach mandarin. Cultural arts and heritage are now considered a protected asset at these autonomous regions. You can get local govt to subsidize or benefits for performing anything related to these protected heritages Like Korean drum dancing, artisan pottery etc.
@@ponyfeng9542 I was just in China, 2018-2022, hired to review curriculum and create implementation policies and programs for schools in autonomous regions to implement mandarin as the official language. Unless the CPC policies has changed since 2022 .. the last official position of the CPC to the local government is to retain the cultural language and dialects as the primary language to teach mandarin as the official language. I saw no policies that restrict, forbid or remove curriculum that teaches languages related to the autonomous regions. The instructions were to utilize those languages to TEACH mandarin

Yanji was once a huge refugee camp born out of escaping Koreans from Japanese colonists. Here in China where they felt safe from the Japanese.
Yes I heard Koreans were also captured and taken to Sakhilin formerly Japanese Penal colony now Russian province.

I think in China, people just put up with the noise. It's expected. The exception seems to be when the square dancing crowd starts dancing near residential areas, and people trying to rest and have their kids do homework have nowhere to hide, and conflicts erupt. Here, as long as the park is not near a residential area, and its during the day, probably no one cares.
I've been there! Interesting city. I have to admit that I was a bit nervous being so close to N. Korea though.
What's there to be nervous about?

did not try the famous Korean shochu ?
Well,shouchu tastes like medical grade alcohol mixed with water
Looks like a nice climate there. Have to add about the Beijing Bikini lol
Cool to see the region that's the ancestral land of ancient Koreans who came from the north. Most people don't know that Korean people and kingdoms inhabited and comprised what is northeast China for millennia; from Liaoning, Jilin, to Heilongjian, these were Koreanic and Tungusic-speaking peoples' lands.
Bs
These lands have always belonged to Han people. The Koreans living there are invaders

Haha, thanks bro! Yeah, I like Cass!
I agree. South Korea, North Korea and Yanbian is the 3rd Korea. You can experience every Korean culture in Yanbian, instead of visiting Seoul or Pyongyang. But nobody knows about Yanbian 😂 especially in Japan here. Japanese loves Korean culture & foods very much. I want many Japanese to visit Yanbian Korean Prefecture!
It's interesting that they are listening and dancing to South Korean music, rather than North Korean music, which might align more closely with socialist movements.
There are about 1+ million ethnic Koreans who are Chinese citizens.
Damn, it's like korea in the 90s 🤣
What did you expect it was part of Goguryeo.
Well, this area was formerly a Korean territory, so no wonder.
formerly Manchu territory.
@@bensontam before that, it was Korean territory
Which are the first and second Korea ?
I've heard of it. I've been there.
I should travel in this part of China because at least I know Korean, so I can at least read and maybe find some people who know Korean (one of the dancing groups was obviously Korean).
Those weren't raspberries, they're Che fruit. You should have bought some to try. They're delicious.

This region was a part of Korea during Koryo dynasty of Korean history.
the whole korea was part of China tributary vassal state for over thousands of year
It was the Manchu region, not Korean.

Doubt so. Because if it was part of Korean kingdom , why only a so few of ethnic Korean here compare to Korean peninsular? Ethnic Korean here are not native to the land but migrated from Northern part of the Korean peninsular

is public drinking legal in China? (in response to the 2 men drinking openly in the park)
Yes
Yes, drinking outside/in public in China is very comment and acceptable. Won't get in trouble for it AS LONG AS you aren't causing trouble.
If you back to the states of your country see the Korean immigrates people and children in the US don't see they came from Northeast China Yianbian there and they're came from Korea also the Koreans in the US.
This may be a political issue, but I heard that as part of the Chinese government's policy of assimilating ethnic minorities, Han Chinese people have been relocated and Korean language education has been reduced, which has diluted their identity. It's a shame that culture is disappearing.
The education thing is definitely true, my girlfriend still had all her school in Korean, now they apparently speak Chinese in school.
Thanks for sharing your insights into the situation!
@@peanutjam as a Han chinese,we're not allowed to speak dialects,every language is being replaced with mandarin ,not only ethnic.Hans also speaks cantonese,Fujian dialects and so on.
It is true that the Government is pushing heavily for a national official language which is Mandarin. The assimilation narrative isn't though. The Han assimilation and migration did happen in the past but it no longer the official policies of the Chinese govt now. They have recently pushed out more mandates to preserve, encourage and teach culture related to the autonomous region. Most culture programs in those regions are subsidized and protected to encourage the proliferating of that culture associated for that region. For example, the current direction for language is that mandarin will be taught as the official language, but the cultural language of the group will be used to facilitate that learning. So basically, they will use Korean to teach mandarin. Cultural arts and heritage are now considered a protected asset at these autonomous regions. You can get local govt to subsidize or benefits for performing anything related to these protected heritages Like Korean drum dancing, artisan pottery etc.
@@ponyfeng9542 I was just in China, 2018-2022, hired to review curriculum and create implementation policies and programs for schools in autonomous regions to implement mandarin as the official language. Unless the CPC policies has changed since 2022 .. the last official position of the CPC to the local government is to retain the cultural language and dialects as the primary language to teach mandarin as the official language. I saw no policies that restrict, forbid or remove curriculum that teaches languages related to the autonomous regions. The instructions were to utilize those languages to TEACH mandarin
