Lived Hangzhou for four years (my undergrads). It my fav city in China. Has a lot hidden gems. The city is still expanding. I love the urban plan of this city. Have a great combo of natural scenery, history, industry and modern life. The west lake and Baoshi (means gem) mountain is right at the center of the city. Hope I can go back to visit sooner
Man I can’t tell you how many vlog’s I’ve watched about China desperately haunting for the perfect mixture of hill sites and tourism and food and landscapes, and this channel is on a different level! PLUS I DONT HAVE TO HEAR THAT ANNOYING VLOG SONG like everyone else uses (you know which one I’m talking about right) every scene there’s a different vibe and sound and their all original is BLOWING MY MIND . Just now finding out how y’all are all cousins. It adds so much more richness to this. Apologize for constantly commenting/spamming I know this was flimed a few years back but in a lockdown like this (LA country isn’t opening up until winter I think) is probably making me go a little bit crazy... imma continue to binge watch tho.
Don´t get me wrong, I also like this video - but there are some filmmakers who spent a lot of time for making really high quality videos about the Westlake - you should check them out!
Damn, I first visited West Lake in summer 1985. It was a chill place to walk around, drink delicious green tea for around 10 cents a cup and relax. My, times have changed.
I started to watch your videos about several months ago, and today I find out you were in my city. On one second you guys were in Utah or California, and next second I see the building where I work! I could have literally seen your car from my window, such a unbelievable feeling!
Im jealous of all the different food you guys are getting to try. The lights did look cool even thought they were, "just lights on some trees". Thanks for sharing👍
Greetings from Tokyo! As a Hangzhou local, I thought Xihu was crowded until I came to Tokyo! Xihu is crowded especially during holidays because most of the scenery spots are free of charge. And I hate that sightseeing vehicle on the sidewalk too! Anyway welcome back to China.
I got into a habit of eating sunflower seeds while watching your videos and I've got these awesome chinese 5 spice-ish ones right now and this is such a great combo
Thanks for showing us around Hangzhou's Xihu! It's so green and beautiful. As always, the food looks amazing, and your relatives' hospitality is incredible. Glad that you guys enjoyed the durian pastry! People either like it or hate it. The pig brains made me think of a few movies (e.g. Indiana Jones). 😊 Robby, why did you live in Beijing in '96? Was it for school?
+Serena Davis It was actually just my parents were there for work for a bit. As far as I know it was just for a change of pace, but we were basically just along for the ride. I actually didn't enjoy it very much, I can talk about that on a Vlog some time. -robby
There are so many people in the Chinese tourism area. Ever since I've seen a wildcamp that's not so crowded ...Many people see crowded places. It's different. haha
Yup! Actually, pretty much everywhere except the US and Canada, May 1st is known as International Labor Day. Which is ironic, because the date's significance comes from a historical event which took place in Chicago in 1886. -Andrew
if I had to eat the native food, at least some of it, in order to visit China, there's no way I could do it. Chicken feet. Duck tongues. Pig brains. Ugh. But other than that kind of gross food, it looks like a wonderful place to be able to visit. And the cities have such beautiful surroundings, and even within the cities.
Pathetic. You want to pretend you're experiencing a culture but keep it at arm's length. You want to post how worldly and interesting you are on Instagram for clout. But you don't really give a shit about other cultures. Parasitic behavior.
+Jovanna Mendoza he was sick haha, but I never really showed it. You just gradually see less and less of him but you can hear him hacking up a lung on occasion.

This is the best video about Westlake In TH-cam. It deserves more and more view.

Appreciate y'all doing all this filming on your trip

I could watch you guys forever!
Just pure pleasure whatching the scenery in 1080p

Hangzhou is a beautiful,liveable and multicultural city,it has developed animation industry ,and West Lake is always so crowded 😂
Great video's! The one thing that caught my eye was the awesome Umbrella corp. bumper sticker. Again great videos. Take care. Andy
So excited for your next episode. These vlogs are great in between. I appreciate your effort. Thanks.
I got into a habit of eating sunflower seeds while watching your videos and I've got these awesome chinese 5 spice-ish ones right now and this is such a great combo
Can't believe watch your China vlog till 3am 😂
The lights on the trees looked amazing! I'm not sure about eating the brains. lol Congrats on 36K subs. The last time I looked it was at about 22K.

Thank-you for this very informative travel video. Well-done!
It's 2:38am and I'm still watching this vlog. If I was working today I'd be in big strife.

you guys deserve ALOT more subscribers. your videos are amazing
how much weight you both gain from the trip?
Jack Hoo lol, I was thinking this!
Superb editing heavily underrated channel.
The song Nujabian Prince, is that a reference to the late great Nujabes?
+Starscreamlive definitely. Although more like "ripoff" than "reference" haha

AdventureArchives Thanks, Robby! Yes, please tell us the story some time. (Maybe differences in way of life, friendships, etc.?) 😊
Another awesome vlog! Thanks so much for sharing :D
Thank you
I'm just totally impressed!
There are so many people in the Chinese tourism area. Ever since I've seen a wildcamp that's not so crowded ...Many people see crowded places. It's different. haha
The reason why there is a lot of people around the west lake, it is because the national holiday. People like to travel during this time.
That JRPG sounding soundtrack!
so beautiful! thank you
What's the umbrella corp doing in China?
avoid getting sunburn
i like how a lot of your music is augmented versions of n64 zelda music lol
i miss home.. hangzhou
WOW it's crazily crowded ×.×
Why was Andrew so quiet this episode
12:41 the king's avatar haha
Saturday on a Labor Day weekend? The Chinese observe Labor Day?
Yup! Actually, pretty much everywhere except the US and Canada, May 1st is known as International Labor Day. Which is ironic, because the date's significance comes from a historical event which took place in Chicago in 1886. -Andrew

Lol, why was Andrew dying?!
+Jovanna Mendoza he was sick haha, but I never really showed it. You just gradually see less and less of him but you can hear him hacking up a lung on occasion.
great
I like the nujabes style song :)
I'm living in Beijing right now. The trash and dirt is still bad in here.
