That moment when Samantha let go that 31 meter long train/dragon kite made by Mr. Lee, no words can describe the magic feeling.
one of my favorite moments!
At that moment, she looks like a 16 year old happy girl!😍😍
Her spirit is still 16. She remains so beautiful all along. @@jchanmcse
@@RealSamanthaBrown That moment must have made you feel like a child, all over again! You're one lucky gal!
Those kites are indeed an art form. I hope he will pass on his skills to the next generation.
I really don't get why your videos don't get millions of views, this video is very well-made: informative and touches the feels!
TH-cam doesn’t like it, propaganda is welcome
@@derekcai1921 I get that youtube is owned by same group of people who own the military-industrial complex, but this video has no political view, just people to people interactions...
@@SuhandiWijaya youtb,Because of the need to cooperate with some countries, the Chinese people's lives are not good and they are being "oppressed"
Nowadays any real n positive news about China no longer get the attention they deserve as majority of the people in the US n its vassal states r so brainwashed by their anti China fake news propaganda that they don't want to hear anything positive about China as they r afraid that their illusions r being shattered
@@jrwkd6114 you obviously haven't been to China 🤣 just echoing the Western mass propaganda is saying. I have been to the US, lived there for 4 years, then I also have been doing import business from China for many years. So I do know what is really going on. Even expats that live there been saying they have more freedom there than in the West, and especially safety is way way better in China.
A great video like this without political bias is very hard to find nowadays👍
Political bias? Well, anything that sounds unfavourable about China is regarded bias in the mind of a brain washed Chinese including those living in the west .
你们猜，亚历山大来了亚洲会发生什么事情？
Never watched you on TN but glad you are open minded and don't have any biases or preconceptions from US media. Excellent video!
her show was nothing more than infomercial, a waste of time.

Do one for us to see 😊
Please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@doctornokay9773It’s better than 95% of the contents on TV and TH-cam.
@@doctornokay9773You can do better? Until you can, don't be negative.
Xi'an was the capital city of many dynasty , so its full of history and culture.
13 in total, I think.
I went to Xi’an once in 2002, no metro, old airport, the new big plaza just finished, the driver/tour guide told us the city is so old even their dog food bowls are often antique. Xi’an museum and Buddha relic temple displaying the rarest green color china and unbelievable gold thread woven are unforgettable. Now that I’m retired and Covid is relaxed, I plan to visit Xi’an next spring and hope to follow the Silk Road in this trip. Thank you for the video.
welcome to my hometown XI AN . You will love it.
There are 10 metro lines in Xian now. It was, and still is, a slow construction process by Chinese standard, everywhere you dig might turn into an archaeological site.
The underground of Xi'an is full of tombs!
Whether it's building buildings or subways, you will find a large number of ancient tombs!
有一站地铁里还有一口古井，虽然不是景点，有兴趣也可以去看看
welcome to our Xi'an
I never thought that I'll be touched by a traveling vlog but when the moment you let go the kite, tears in my eyes....
Such a beautiful moment❤
In 2001, I led a group of students and teachers to visit the terracotta warriors in Xi'an, and interestingly, the person who discovered this was there signing autographs. He seemed like an ordinary person. Your video is wonderful-easily the best I have seen! It's great to see you having fun there.😊Thank you!
thanks!
Wasn't the person who discovered the terracotta warriors a farmer?
@@coolspot18 Yes. You are correct. He was.
I bought the book signed by the man who found the terracotta warriors.😊
I’d read an article that said someone had unearthed some parts of the warrior before but didn’t report it to the authorities for investigation.
One information is missing: these terra-cotta warriors were buried more than 15Km away from the actual tomb of the 1st emperor of China. His tomb is at the bottom of a hill. Chinese archeologists have not touched the tomb yet.
The tomb cannot be open. It must remain sealed
Just when I am about to give up on America, someone comes along and opens my eyes to see angels live among...well war mongers. Thanks so much Samantha for reminding me that even in America, there are people who are capable of redeeming it.
Although I understand what you meant, your comment is needlessly insultful to ordinary American people, because of your assumption. What some warmongering politicians say does not represent the will of the people (especially with the broken democratic process in the US today) and it is absurd to ask the powerless people to "redeem" whatever crimes you think are committed by the powerful.
It does not take an Angel to see what's happening in China and report it as it is. It just takes a normal person with an open mind. I am sure there are plenty of such people in the US as well as in China, who are just awaiting more opportunities to travel across the Pacific and work together in the future.
@@thefourthrabbit9516What are talking about. There are still MANY Americans who believe in the anti-China propaganda fed to them. And without people like Angel to report the positive things about China, Americans would never change. It is people like Angel reporting the positives about China that will slowly and eventually change Americans' attitude. To say that "It does not take an Angel to see what's happening in China and report it as it is"... tells me that you don't live in the US, because if you do live in the US, then you would NEVER find any American mainstream media reporting anything positive about China.
Don't be sucked in by hate. That's what the misleading media and military complex wants. A lot of citizens in US/UK are nice people, unlike their politicians.
@@thefourthrabbit9516 I do apologise if you feel insulted, but remember, all governments are representative of its people. You may not actively be supporting its policies, but passivity is the fertile ground for evil to thrive. You should be asking yourself: What kind of governance that has produced the China Miracle. Maintraeam media denigrate that miracle as "Communist" as if communism were evil. America political system and its dictatorial security state are so frightened of social media which shows that communism has produced a miracle in 40 short years while the so called American democracy has produced a debacle.
At personal level, I do not expect you to abandon what you are doing and go on a crusade to censure your government for lying to you about China, but if you have enjoyed this channel which I suspect you have, and which has opened your eyes to your lying goverment- militrary- media- industrial complex, share the link with friends and colleagues before they shut Sam out as being paid by the Chinese Goverment.
@@thefourthrabbit9516 I do agree with you that most Americans are kind and regular people. Unfortunately, war mongers are loudest and their identity becomes the American brand. But if was all burst and no bullets, it would be fine, but they seem to have a lot of bullets aimed at the rest of the world.
❤Your inner child came to life when you set off the kite. What a lovely scene!❤
the most touching moment is when Sam let the kite string go - beautiful!
thanks. one of my favorite moments on tv after 25 years!
山东潍坊的风筝节，那才叫壮观
18:03 I think you asked a very meaningful question. 70 years ago China's urban rate is < 10%, so over 90% of Chinese are farmers/peasants living rural life; today it's 65% urbanization, this transition happens within 3 generations. A typical family today have grandparents who live a whole life in rural, the core couple who grew up in rural then moved into cities after higher education, and grandkids who are born and raised completely in cities. A village like Yuan's, which is close to a big city like Xi'An, represents a nostalgia of a family's rural legacy, a life style which younger generation would not experience. And for visitors from other parts of China, this rural landscape & culture is different from their home ones becuase of the unique terrain and weather in northwest.
Samantha: At 22 min 58 sec of the video when you let the “train kite” fly…that moment brought me such an intense emotional and spiritual awakening that I actually cried. It was beautiful…beautiful…living art that left me in awe…thank you. If I were an ancient Chinese kite flyer living in Xi’an, I can easily feel how that moment would give me such an uplifting religious experience…a connection to God and the universe. As a fourth year university student studying international politics I also think that the image of an American and her Chinese acquaintances launching a kite “together” was quite a symbolic moment for peace and cooperation that should exist between the two countries. World peace…one kite at a time. Congratulations on your program for capturing a bit of the meaning of human existence on Earth. ❤Diane, Vancouver, Canada. SaDE09/23. 08:02 am
my tears bursted at that moment too
@@florashen3720 Me too. I live by the seaside and often see people flying kites. Watching the kite fly feels like I'm flying, a temporary sense of freedom from leaving the hustle and bustle of the world
I totally felt the energy overwhelmed me the moment I walked into the terracotta warrior muziumfor the first time! I had goose bumps all over my body!
agree!
Excellent show, first time I ever saw a Locomotive kite that fly, very ingenious design and craftsmanship.
Why such high a quality video only has a few comments 😢
Your videos deserve more views, thanks for making these
@kevinjom1117
People told to hate China so anything China related no one care even though this is the best TH-cam has offered.
just started posting my shows here, thanks!
YT has an anti-China algorithm built into it that's why.
Too many people was taught to hate China through the western media propaganda.
oh the happiness at the end of the kite scene put joyful tears in my eyes.
I have been in Xian several times, and in China many,,, this is a great rendition!
In 1997, my wife and I, we took an airplane from Tianjin to Xian to visit the terracota warriors ... was a amazing experience and after that we return to Brazil with great impressions from China's people and its fine art, and also, impressed with the Joy and great energy on every part of China.❤❤
巴西朋友，期待您的再次光临
I spent two days in Xian and with "warriors". Great work Samantha!
i lived in xi'an during my teenage years, best time of my life
I love that you don’t focus on the “touristy” areas. You highlight the life in these places.
I used to watch your shows on cable channels. Today, I’m so fortunate to have found you on TH-cam and watching you doing what you do best. Love your shows and the quality your show produces.
thank you!
这么好节目，咋看的人这么少。
just started releasing my shows here on youtube, thanks for watching!
Beautifully made video, well researched and down to earth, thank you for your efforts to bring out the history and the people of China.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@RealSamanthaBrownFor a more immersive experience of Xian, check out the 70 episodes 2012 Chinese drama series called "Chu Han Contention" which brings back to life the main events of the period between 221BCE to 202BCE. Witness how a corrupt eunuch Zhao Gao paved the way for the downfall of the Qin Dynasty after the sudden death of Qin Shihuang during an inspection journey to the east to find the elixir of life. See how Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu to form the Han Dynasty.
Excellent show. I’ve watched 4 minutes only and already in love. Please, more china videos!
This is one BRILLIANT AND OUTSTANDING video!!!!!! I was in tears when the kite flew high in the sky! Thanks a million for this wonderful video! I love China! A fan from Taiwan!
As Chinese, I am embarrassed to admit that I have never been to Xi'an, but I really love this video that shows the historic beauty of this city. Thank you for making this fantastic video.
This was one of the best coverage of Xian that I've ever seen. The whole production was great and Samantha your genuine curiosity and joy is what really made this Xian adventure come alive! Thank you.
Amazing production quality and your humble personality makes the world happy and unite. Thank you :)
.... and China is wonderful.
Xi'an has changed a lot since I left in the late 90s, or you can say it hasn't changed that much at all... after all, what's 30 years worth of comparing to what she has experienced during past thousands of years ? The city has this unbeaten calmness and dignified modesty associated with it, and it influences its people. Growing up in Xi'an I never understood that, after visiting so many different cities around the world and living in some of the largest cities in the U.S., now I fully understand where you can trace back that modesty and calmness ...
Hopefully one day not so far into the distant future, I will grab that backpack and hope on a bike, ride along those familiar routes along the Loess Plateau dotted with hundreds of Emperor's tombs. I never appreciated it when I was young, but I bet it will feel much different this time when I visit these once-great men in the boundless Chinese history...
Amazing city, amazing culture!
5000年历史的城市，长安😂😂我的中国🇨🇳👍🏻
Beautiful country Beautiful Xi'an👍👍👍👍
Thank you for showing us the talented craftsmanship. The design of the locomotive kite is Amazing and the moment you let go of the kite is touching. Great video🎉Hope to visit Xian this winter😊
Thank you very much!
I live in Xi'an!
The best season to come to Xi'an is from April to May, and from September to October
Your video is well researched, well beyond most others on Xian, so professional. You are far apart from the rest. Credit to the man behind the scene.
Oh wow, loved those kites❤
Thank you for showing the real China to your viewers... Yes, China is big with many minority people but all given equal rights, especially the basic right to live peacefully and harmoniuosly. I wish you the best in your many travels, but most of all may you learn some more and become a cultural ambassador of Mainland China to the West.
Many han chinese might argue that minorities are given more rights 😅. Not complaining but in some cases they do have more rights than regular Hans, at least over 10 years ago. Now it might be a bit more equal in the real sense.
This is an extremely high quality production! This channel will go viral!
If I ever get there, I'd probably cry...
I have been xi an once for a week, I love this city so much. This city makes me through the time tunnel from modern to ancient
I almost cried when seeing the kite flying into the sky. Thank you for the episode!
Love from Xi‘an citizen, well captured the touristy aspect and real life aspect of the city! Thank you for making it so good ❤
From Seattle. I was in that ancient city in 2005. I spent only two days there because I was in a your group. My wife and i plan to travel to Xian in April of next year, exactly 20 years since my first visit. Xian will be end of our tour this time and we plan to spend a few days there ourselves to explore this amazing place on our own. Will remember to visit that kite flying site on this trip.
I am Chinese and visited Xian once, like it.
When I first opened an account and entered TH-cam, the first video I saw was Samantha brown, I didn’t know what kind of program it was, but it deeply attracted me. My impression of TH-cam immediately changed for the better. I didn’t subscribe at the time because I didn’t know how to use the TH-cam interface , I kept looking for her video but I couldn't find it because I didn't know her name. After many years, the video reappeared and I recognized her appearance. It was so touching. I won't miss it again this time. It turns out her name is samantha brown 🎉🎉Her show is one of the most tasteful I have ever seen
❤❤❤ from Malaysia
Thank you for sharing your journey in Xi'an Samantha. My family & I were there in early 2019 indeed Xi'an is beautiful. My wife & I are the first time viewer to your channel and already subscribe. We love your scene of humor and the way you layout your content. Great work! 👍
I had been to xian more than ten years ago, the mixture of the heavily historical atmosphere and the thick fog really impressed me😊
Hi Samatha, have been a fan since your TLC days. Good to see u in YT. Liked and subscribed
Thanks for subbing!
I used to watch your travel channel Samantha, very enjoyable. I'm glad I found you today 💕
I think he meant to say: 7th century at first (not first century), and massively in the 14th century. In the 1st - 3rd centuries AD the Silk Road connected the four most powerful ancient empires - European Roman Empire, the Parthian Empire in the Near and Middle East, the Kushan Empire in the south of Central Asia, Afghanistan and Chinese Hang Empire in the Far East.
Wow, seeing that train kite soar into the sky is just so exhilarating - speaks of the ingenuity of the Chinese civilisation and thanks to Samatha for being so open to appreciating this culture.
Never grew a day older, this Samantha. Beautiful as ever
That dragon kite was just magnificent.
Samantha Brown is still kicking it after all these years. Good to see you. I wonder if Justin Shapiro is still around. Thank you.
Samantha - thank you for sharing. This is an eye-opener. It is delightful to see a person like you travel to China and bring these wonderful stories home. We often see US and Western media portraying negative views of China. What you have shown us is far from the truths. Please continue to bring us your travel documentaries. Thanks.
I traveled to Xi-An ancient city in 2008. Very obsessed, hope I can visit again in the future.
Thank you for your wonderful documentary of this ancient city of China - Xi'an, it's so professionally made. Love the kite flying bit which is just exhilarating ❤🇨🇳
Beautiful kites.
one of my favorites scenes ever, thanks!
You are the first foreigner that I have seen who sat through the entire process of ear-cleaning; well done.
It was a little strange but I liked it!
This is a real video production, not just a minimum effort vlog. Great job, Sam.
Lovely video. Great job on capturing some of the spirit of the people there. Thank you for exposing me to some aspects of Xian I was unaware of; I've been a few times but far from discovering all of it. The part about the kites....
Glad you enjoyed it!
This video is wonderfully done, and eye-opening as well.
This was a fascinating show, like all of your shows. I have watched you for a very long time and you make me want to travel way more than I do.
Your enthusiasm, curiosity, and fearlessness is so captivating to watch as you travel the world introducing me to so many new experiences. Thank you!! ❤
Showing that golden color maple leave flying gently after showing your ear being cleaned is so funny. I don’t know if that was done on purpose or not, it just cracked me up. Thank you for sharing. Your videos are genuine travel videos without the usual Western media China-smearing comments thrown in.
Welcome to China, nice filming as well as editing, a nice production
I like your vidio from hua qiao bali, Indonesia, thankyou, bye bye ❤.
A truly fantastic show! Sam looks as charming as always. Appreciate you for sharing your shows on TH-cam and engaging with your audience.
这风筝太酷了
the kite flying section was so beautiful, made me tear up a bit
One of my fav travel vids.❤️😘1️⃣
Went to Xian in 2019. Love the city! Those kites are so beautiful!!!
Heading back home in a week after being away from 4 years and half. ❤
I almost bursted into tears when watching these flying kites, it brought back so much memories from deep down within me. Can’t wait to visit Xi’an next time when I am back!
Your travel stories are amazing! At 47, you are still so beautiful!!!
Love your videos and can’t wait for more
I love your show. The only thing deters me from traveling across time zone is jet lags. It’s so uncomfortable and I forget what I experienced after back home because of jet lag.
谢谢你的宣传❤❤❤美丽的女士，美丽的作品。😊😊
This is a genuinely great episode! You got yourself a new subscriber!
Beautiful documentary about Xi'an China. Loved it. Can you please do more episodes on China please? Guangzhou/Guangdong and a few more cities/provinces please, please? 🙏🙏
Xi’an is a must visit city if you ever have a chance to go to China, it’s really impressive.
This is a wonderful travelogue. I enjoyed this presentation immensely. I like that you don’t ask you guides a bunch of dumb questions and you can freely admit that some experience is completely new to you. You made me what to visit Xian too.
Thank you
Thanks Samantha for sharing this informative & beautifully done video.
Visited Xi’an with my wife in 2019. Left a piece of my heart there. A remarkable place.
Love how you present. No politic, no bias, just share. 👍
Samantha brown, you are great. I ❤you👍
It is totally amazing, thank you!
Great video. Thank you.for showing.Xian. I would like to visit.Xian one day

Dear Samantha thank you for your videos. They are actually real documentaries,, Everything is so professional and tasteful. I also love that you introduce us to the amazing people that you meet..Great work
The flying kite almost made me cry. Amazing
Author is an excellent story teller herself. Deserve a million+ views
I want to visit and live in China.
Very good quality and interesting video. Makes us want to visit Xi'an and meet Mr. Lee the amazing kite master. Thanks for bring us this adventure.
Very good video! No bias no prejudice, pure appreciation and pure respect to a different culture. Appreciate your effort of showing the beauty of Chinese culture ! ❤
One of photographer that working for the Terra Cotta Warriors museum told a story in a TV show. When he was taking photo for one Terra Cotta Warriors, he suddenly found a fingerprint at the warrior's lip, and that fingerprint is left by the worker that made that Terra Cotta Warriors thousand years ago. He felt very touched, it was a connection between modern people and people thousands of years ago.
好棒的節目希望有中文版❤
Samantha Brown has always been great with all her travel videos - unbiased and open with people, culture, customs and places
Nicley done ✔️ i must say one of the best or the best video of Xian china.
