Yuantong Temple, located on Yuantong Street in Kunming City, is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Kunming, with a history of more than 1,200 years.At the same time, it is also the largest temple in Kunming. It was built in the Nanzhao period of the Tang Dynasty and was originally named Butuoluo Temple.Yuantong Temple was built in the fifth year of Dade of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1301), and the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty "gifted the seal to Shujia".The expansion project lasted 18 years and was not completed until the sixth year of Yanyou in the Yuan Dynasty (1319 AD). During the Ming Dynasty, Yuantong Temple was expanded and a new Jieyin Hall was built on the top of the mountain.Yuantong Temple was rebuilt many times during the Qing Dynasty.
China is actually one of the few countries in Asia that doesn't overcharge tourists. A lot of countries in South East Asia will charge foreign tourists more.
it is wonderful when people of different cultures and religions show respect to others. Hope we too should show them respect when we visit their countries. If everyone on planet Earth is like these 2 tourists then the world would be a peaceful world !! Hope you can get more subscribers.
A wonderful day begins with watching your videos. Thank you for leading us to see a different China from different perspectives. As a Chinese, I have also been to many places that I have never been to. I have been busy with work and hope to have a spontaneous trip like you in the future. Once again, I wish you both all the best, beautiful and kind. ❤️
@@TwoMadExplorers So sweet. I wonder what system of English education he is receiving. 7:12 This is a *Giant Fishtail Palm Tree* Scientific Name: (Caryota obtusa)
My personal understanding is that people bow to statues or Buddha images to show respect and reverence. As for burning incense, it says "three sticks per person" so it should be free. The box below is a bit like a donation. Generally, it depends on each person's ability and is voluntary rather than forced. There are many gestures and postures for burning incense due to the many Buddhist sects, but most tourists just bow. Burning incense in a temple can be understood as sending one's prayers to the Buddha along with the burning incense and candles, and hoping to receive the Buddha's blessing. The tall trees in the courtyard should be derived from the description of things in the Buddhist scriptures.
I have to compliment this couple for their respect of the local culture. Little thing like clothing etiquette and speaking quietly when close to religious ritual. They are sincere.
China doesn't have problem with battery because Chinese phones are well-known for battery life. And also there are portable charger everywhere in China. Just go to convenient store usually there will be portable charger you can scan and rent out for a bit and then you can return it.
And It's cheap to replace the degraded battery, you can get a battery of any phone for dozens of Yuan and pay the same price in a random repair shop to replace it, or again the same price for a heat gun and screw set so you can do it on your own
I asked my 85-year-old mother to subscribe to your channel. She really wants to travel to China, but she can't go because of her bad legs. Looking at your China travel videos, it seems like she went to watch China with you. Although she couldn't understand English, she enjoyed watching it.
@@andyho9670 Thanks for your kind advice. My mom couldn't understand what Luke & Naomi said but she enjoyed the scenery. Sometimes I interpret some content for her.
that kid's english surprised me lol. his parents probably send him off for extra classes. donations basically to maintain the temple grounds. since you paid entry you didn't really need to pay more but if you went in a temple with free admission, it wouldn't be a bad idea to donate something inside.
The Chinese government treats English as a basic education, and its status is the same as that of Chinese, mathematics and other subjects. It is a core course and accounts for a large proportion in the college entrance examination. Since every Chinese student has nearly ten years of basic English education, Chinese people will adapt quickly when they go to English-speaking countries to live, study or work.
This temple complex has connection to the emperor. Ancient buildings in China with golden/yellow roofs are reserved for the royal family and buildings only for the emperor can have 9 little ‘statues’ on top at the side of the curved roof(like the Forbidden City in Beijing.) Lesser rank royals can only have less on the roof depending on rank. You can go spotting this different buildings all over China; also the ceiling decor is much more intricate and opulent for royal buildings.
The landscape of YuanTong Temple descends because the temple was built on YuanTong Mountain. The paths climb and descend according to the landscape of the mountain. There's a zoom behind the temple, YuanTong Zoo, which is our childhood must-go place. Yunnan University campus is also nearby, and it is worth a visit. Lots of historic sites on the campus. There are generally three types of Buddhist temples in China: Han Style Buddhist temples, Tibetan Style Buddhist temples (in Shangri-La), and Hinayana Style Buddhist temples (Thai Style, usually in Southern Yunnan, such as Xishuangbanna 西双版纳)
The script that Naomi scanned to translate is 普度含识. It is a Chinese phrase that suggests the idea of universally saving or ferrying all sentient beings (those with knowledge or consciousness). It conveys a notion often associated with Buddhist philosophy, where the goal is to bring enlightenment and salvation to all beings. The phrase implies a sense of universal compassion and the intention to help all sentient beings attain enlightenment.
I followed your channel not long ago, and I am glad to see you came to my hometown Kunming❤❤. I am now studying in London and will travel to Ireland when I have the chance. The West Mountain and the Yuantong Temple are places I often go to. My grandmother was a layperson at Yuantong Temple, which means she believed in Buddhism and observed fasting, but she did not become a monk. I will come to Yuantong Temple or Xishan to pray at important points in my life. If the wish is fulfilled, I will return to the temple again to "make a vow" to show my respect. The locked path leading from the Temple to the Yutong Mountain is now closed at all times. Because this road leads to the Yuantongshan Zoo behind, if you want to go, you need to buy a ticket at the front gate, so the temple road is closed. I'm sorry you didn't go to the Cuihu Lake, which is my favorite area. During World War II, when China suffered from the Japanese invasion, the top three universities in northern China were evacuated inland and eventually settled in Kunming. Cuihu Lake is where the greatest scholars of that time lived and worked, where they hid from the war, devoted themselves to learning, and protected Chinese culture. Not far from here is the former site of what was then Southwestern Associated University, where I spent my childhood. During those eight years, Kunming was also heavily bombed, and it was under such conditions that the Chinese youth and intellectuals preserved the spark of Chinese culture. The view of Cuihu Lake is also very good, and there are many historical sites around, as well as many interesting shops and bookstores, all of which were treasures that nourished my youth.
I can hear the birds chirping, everything is so quiet and peaceful, so nice. And if I remember correctly, I think Luke is getting more and more smiley.
The little boy speaking English is so impressive, this means the Chinese Government's English as a second language policy is working. Chinese children will be able to speak the two most used language of commerce in world. Think about that for a while the most spoken language in the world today is Mandarin and the most English speakers in the world will also be in China ! How can the kids in the US and Europe even be able to compete ? Only the wealthy kids in the US are encouraged to learn Mandarin, even Trump's grandchildren are fluent in Mandarin because they know where the future lies !
9:59 "consciousness contains universal knowledge." the part where you are talking about feeling more connected to China through learning about the history, this is one of the ways we(Chinese) connect with ourselves as well, and you also connect with yourselves through your own history. I feel like the scripture Naomi translated resonates with what you are doing and it's as if you were meant to see that scripture. You two are a pair of respectful, curious, humble, and beautiful souls. :) btw I'm from Kunming and seeing my hometown through your perspective is so unique and refreshing and make me treasure my home even more, thank you! ❤
That kid is so cute. It's not amazing that he knows English. What's amazing is that he has the courage to communicate with a foreigner. That's great. In the end, he might have felt a little embarrassed and ran away. He's so cute. China now has English subjects in elementary school. From his communication, we can see that he takes his English class very seriously. Hahahaha
Another beautiful day 👍👍👍，Yutong Temple on Yutong Mountain in Kunming, a very nice place. Locals find the crispy roast of pork belly rather bland and it is usually served with a chilli dip.
Yunan is my favourit province in China. Beautiful scenics. Mind weather. Good food (I fall in love with their Flower cake). Rich culture. Low cost of living compare to other major cities in China.
No biased. true TH-camr who appreciated others cultures. Thanks you. Always waiting for your update. I like you guys a lot. It’s a very pleasant to see your videos. Greet from nyc
The incense served in temples is basically sandalwood, which has a special significance for Buddhism.Broadly speaking, Chinese culture considers incense to be food for the gods and buddhas, so the incense represents the tribute you give to the gods and buddhas.
2:02 It’s the first son of the Chinese Dragon loong. Its name is Bi Xi. He often appears in temples. Ancient Chinese people established huge stone monuments on the backs of Bixi to praise the emperor’s achievements and virtues. The idea was to rely on their divine power to ensure the monuments durability. I guess.😊
hi Naomi and Luke, i have to say i'm very much touched by the respect and appreciation you have toward the local culture. you two are wonderful examples of what traveling and being travellers in another culture should be like. really love your contents. keep up the great work and continue to enjoy the rest of your exploration in China.
I really appreciate the fact that you guys always respect the local tradition and customs, despite of religion difference. Enjoy your trip and thanks for sharing...
I have to say that I really like your video. It’s natural,real and funny ,I get a totally different view through your adventure. All the things I familiar with become interesting. Thanks for keep post ,can’t wait to introduce more Chinese delicious dishes or restaurant.
Excellent exploration and in depth. You might not know all about Buddhism and temples but your own experience will attract outsiders. By the way, there are 4 Buddhism holy mountains in China you might want to visit and you will not be disappointed. 1, Wutaishan in Shan Xi Province. You should be able to make some series on this province, as the first Banking system in ancient time started here. The rich people built their homes , some even bigger than Forbidden City in Beijing. Also for some reason, many ancient building are well preserved through the wars, and cultural revolution. 2, Putuo Shan Temples in Zhejiang Province, it’s actually a super beautiful island, not far from Hangzhou, capital of this province. You should spend a couple days in Hangzhou, then pay a visit to Putuo Mountains(island). 3, Er mei shan (mountain) in Sichuan Province, actually not far from Chongqi. The biggest Buddha in the world located there. 4, Jiu Hua Mountain In Anhui Province, Real body Buddha is there, many temples and beautiful spots. On top of these 4, you cannot miss the next one. Shaolin Temples in Songshan mountains,Henan Province, this place will especially attractive to westerners because of Shaolin Gongfu- the martial arts. Suggest you guys spend a bit long there and learn some Gongfu tricks from many Gonfu schools there. 144 hours visa is not enough for you guys. 😂
2:18 The statue you see at the beginning of the video is not a lion. It is called "赑屃Bi Xi", and it is the sixth of the nine sons said to be born to the dragon. Its shape is like a turtle, good at carrying heavy objects, so the ancients often put stone tablets on its back, meaning that by its strength can make merits and virtues immortal. Under normal circumstances, the sacred beasts seen under the stone tablets in China are all it.
By the way, although there are many temples and Taoist temples in China, it is surprising that most Chinese people are not religious. But it can also be said that the Chinese have many beliefs, and they will worship any god they see, even if they have never heard of it before. Chinese people believe that worshiping God will bring blessings, but this is mostly for psychological comfort. If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. Just wish for another god next time. In short, Chinese people's faith is not as regulated as abroad, but relatively free. It's more of a cultural practice than a religious belief.
Wow, that place looks amazing! Hopefully, one day we'll get to visit it too. Thanks so much for sharing this with us! Looking forward to seeing you in the next video, in China.🥰🥰🥰
I have been to many cities in China, mainly South of Yangtze river... 😁😁 My grandpa came to SG from Hainan Island in mid of last century... It's nice to 👀 your video on Kunming, Yunnan, city I have not been to but looking forward to visit hopefully in the near future.... Last but not least, thanks for sharing 👍👍 wishing you guys a wonderful times in China !! Cheers ✌

24:56 This crispy pork can usually be paired with some local condiments, such as chili sauce! It will be more delicious!have a good trip!
Love u so much
amazing place
kunming's BBQs are very delicious,like Beef skewers and grilled Tilapia,it's amazing❤
2:02 It’s the first son of the Chinese Dragon loong. Its name is Bi Xi. He often appears in temples. Ancient Chinese people established huge stone monuments on the backs of Bixi to praise the emperor’s achievements and virtues. The idea was to rely on their divine power to ensure the monuments durability. I guess.😊
不是貔貅，是赑屃
I'm glad you shared this beautiful country with me.
中国为什么有这么华丽的古建筑和保留完好的寺庙，那是因为至有朝代以来，中国的GDP大部分时间占世界的三分之一，在唐朝和宋朝时期GDP占世界的35%~46%之间，中国也就是这一百多年的低潮期，相信我们的祖国会再次强大，走在世界的领头羊位置。
唯一你这个 他没给你点赞😂
人类文明进步就是不同文化交相辉映， 向二位博主学习用满怀谦卑善意的心去发现他乡的美好
古代的GDP从来都不好统计 不要人云亦云
别瞎吹了，后唐时期被少数民族欺负，宋朝简直就是沙包袋，每个大点的少数民族上来打几下
其实大多数都是八十年代以后逐渐在原址重建或者直接新建的 木质结构需要换梁换柱 而且很容易失火 真正的古建太难保存了 全国真古建最多的地方可能是山西
谢谢你们带我们游中国~🤗🥰 thanks for bringing us to visit China with your camera！🤩

since I started watch your videos, the beautiful places you visited, it like I'm 'having my holidays in China !!" 😅 tqsm ..I already your fan❤
Please visit Guilin and Yangshuo, too.
Excellent exploration and in depth. You might not know all about Buddhism and temples but your own experience will attract outsiders.
By the way, there are 4 Buddhism holy mountains in China you might want to visit and you will not be disappointed.
1, Wutaishan in Shan Xi Province. You should be able to make some series on this province, as the first Banking system in ancient time started here. The rich people built their homes , some even bigger than Forbidden City in Beijing. Also for some reason, many ancient building are well preserved through the wars, and cultural revolution.
2, Putuo Shan Temples in Zhejiang Province, it’s actually a super beautiful island, not far from Hangzhou, capital of this province. You should spend a couple days in Hangzhou, then pay a visit to Putuo Mountains(island).
3, Er mei shan (mountain) in Sichuan Province, actually not far from Chongqi. The biggest Buddha in the world located there.
4, Jiu Hua Mountain In Anhui Province, Real body Buddha is there, many temples and beautiful spots.
On top of these 4, you cannot miss the next one.
Shaolin Temples in Songshan mountains,Henan Province, this place will especially attractive to westerners because of Shaolin Gongfu- the martial arts. Suggest you guys spend a bit long there and learn some Gongfu tricks from many Gonfu schools there.
144 hours visa is not enough for you guys. 😂
2:18 The statue you see at the beginning of the video is not a lion. It is called "赑屃Bi Xi", and it is the sixth of the nine sons said to be born to the dragon. Its shape is like a turtle, good at carrying heavy objects, so the ancients often put stone tablets on its back, meaning that by its strength can make merits and virtues immortal. Under normal circumstances, the sacred beasts seen under the stone tablets in China are all it.
correct answer!
By the way, although there are many temples and Taoist temples in China, it is surprising that most Chinese people are not religious. But it can also be said that the Chinese have many beliefs, and they will worship any god they see, even if they have never heard of it before. Chinese people believe that worshiping God will bring blessings, but this is mostly for psychological comfort. If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. Just wish for another god next time. In short, Chinese people's faith is not as regulated as abroad, but relatively free. It's more of a cultural practice than a religious belief.
Wow, that place looks amazing! Hopefully, one day we'll get to visit it too. Thanks so much for sharing this with us! Looking forward to seeing you in the next video, in China.🥰🥰🥰
Not all Chinese people can go to the scenic spots all over the country，Through your videos, I have learned more about the scenic spots in China.
The fact is, in china, you can go anywhere, but, you must have free time.
Thank you for this very informative video
Ich glaube du meintest Spießbraten Bröttchen (hat aber Zwiebeln mit drauf)
Enjoy your visit in China. Love from Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, where u can challenge probably the spiciest food in China.😂
