- Join my family and I on a random last minute road trip across China. Enjoy some of the views, join me for a bit of conversation, and follow us as we try and fix our vehicle malfunctioning in the Sichuan mountainside regions.
China has been building an amazing road network with new tunnels and bridges all across the country and previously difficult-to-access places are all of a sudden within reach.

I'm from the UK but visit China often and feel more at home there. The people I've met in China are friendly, politely curious, and helpful. Road trips, bullet train journeys, and even intercity bus journeys are so fascinating, relaxing and therapeutic. I hope to work and potentially permanently reside in China in future. Quality videos such as this effectively demonstrate not only the infinite beauty and wonder of China, but its constantly increasing accessibility as well.
China has experienced too many wars in history, so the Chinese people cherish peace more than anyone else, and welcome all peace-loving people to live in China.
@@user-kn6fv4ly7h Indeed, the Chinese people have experienced immense suffering through wars and revolutions. From such a tumultuous past , you have created a beautiful country, with wonderful people, and great systems, security and infrastructure. China is a wonderful place for all positive and hard-working people, and provides great opportunities for success in work and happiness in life.
李小龙 that’s BS, we don’t like to collect foreign garbage
@@DJ-rd8vb I understand your view, especially considering the immensely damaging impact that foreigners have had on China in the past, and the continuous attempts of many foreigners to undermine and unfairly criticise China. You have a country and identity that you can be very proud of, and should certainly protect from negative and insidious foreign influence. However, the Chinese government is very wise in inviting only those foreigners who are educated, skilled, experienced, and hardworking, to contribute to China's continued ascendency.
I have been 5 times to China. I don't agree at all. It is just to different and I don't like the State controlling people's lives. It is just so many people. Also I don't fit into the culture. It seems like people enjoy sitting on the streets on pink plastic chairs drinking tea and playing mahjong. Too boring for me. All that said. I respect the Chinese people and I try to be polite. Also I have attempted learning the language. The main problem is that one does not hear the language often enough to get really under the skin of it.
My advice if you want to go to China. Don't. It is not what you might think it is.
Wow amazing I want to move to China so much iam a retired railroad engineer and have study the Chinese culture it has always been my favorite country and culture I Taught myself to speak Chinese when I was 12 years old now I'm 50 and love the Different Dialects .TH-cam has brought us all together. I just found your channel love the Videos
Welcome to China. We are an inclusive nation and country. As long as we respect each other, common development is our common goal.
China needs a lot of railroad engineers.
welcome to try our bullet train 🚅
@@anakinfu6329 that would be a dream for me
China welcomes all international friends with goodwill
I'm from Vinakingdom(Vietnam), China seems like our mother land...loving it..
I think it's more like a big brother of east Asia. It's your goal and great, but soemtimes bully and ocasionally sick. :D
once upon a time..... we were a country. So it is somehow true that China is your mother land.

Thank you Daniel, I am a Chinese left Hong Kong many years ago came to Canada, love your video, you are fair in every way towards China, you speak way better Chinese Mandarin than I can, thanks for speaking for us. Love you travel video in China. Keep on video.

Why did you leave china?
I am too old to make some of my dreams come true. One of those dreams was to take long road trips in China. Thank you so much for making this armchair traveller happy . Hope to see more of your videos. My best wishes for you and your family.
The Chinese people welcome your visit at any time.中国人民随时欢迎你的到访
As long as you have health make your dreams come true 💖
As long as you're generally healthy and can walk a little, you can travel in China easily, the transportation and traffic is very convenient.
I wish you good health and positive optimism！
I see many old people from the west touring China in a tour group.
I ALWAYS wanted to watch a full-on China road trip on TH-cam but could never find any. Seems like this will be the first one! And the goal to see snow is such a cool concept!
There were indeed some videos about road trip in China. There was even one English named Edward who rode a unicycle to across the whole China from North to South. It's amazing. Strongly recommend to have a look at it.
if u really want to watch people on road trips in china, install china tiktok (not international tiktok). lots of bikers vlog along a way. i just watched a chinese graduating from a canadian university, flew his bmw motocycle to the UK and then rode home to xi'an.
you will never see the the real China on youtube. All you see and hear about China are rumors.
See: 胖哥游记/Pangge Travel Vlogs
His 西游记 series (1 & 2) was what invalidated everything the Anglosphere had to say about Xinjiang for me and actually made me interested in the Haval H9.
There are precious insights here and then about travelling in China, China's AWD scene and a part of China that the vast majority of people never got to see

HI, I am English and My Wife is from Yaan which is 2 hours out of Chengdu towards Tibet. In fact during 2017 we spent 3 months there and went out from Yaan to various places. We did Kangding. and Battan and got to Stand just over the border in Tibet without all the paperwork. We have just discovered you and are enjoying the expedition. We watched the G138 being upgraded towards Louding where they have an ancient Chain Bridge. It took us a good part of a day to get there now it can be done in Half an Hour. Lots of Love David and Lily.
As well as girls in ya an, the three most famous in Yaan: Ya river, fish in Ya river, and beautiful Yaan girls
@Happyending And also Ya'an girls.
There is a typo which the road number should be G318.
@@user-ks9qu6lu2e Ne Hou. I had wondered as we went by coach all the way to the border on the G318. We are just going back and viewing this again. I loved my time in China. My Cousin is also married to a YAAN GIRL so when they meet up our Wives are almost Sisters. Love David & Lily.
a really nice video for which many thanks. We live in Kunming City the capital of Yunnan Province and travel extensively all over China as I am now retired. So very familiar with the scenery in your video as also Shenzhen. Yunnan is a beautiful place too with some of the highest mountains in the world. The national parks in Jojaigo and Hailong are magnificent places to visit in the autumn. China has in just three decades become a truly modern country with top class infrastructure and really nice helpful people everywhere who go out of their way to help you on your way. Magnificent food and restaurants although it is quite safe to eat from roadside restaurants and stalls especially in Yunnan. While speeding down highways we frequently go down the backroads (we have a Jeep 4WD) to see what is on the other side of the hills and mountains we pass. More fantastic scenery and small towns where we are frequently invited to eat with local farmers whose food is actually better than the stuff we get in highway restaurants. It is amazing what these kind folk can do with the simplest of ingredients, all of which they grow. A magnificent place indeed.
I live in Kunming as well. Just moved there back in December. Back in January I completed a road trip to Xinping County in Yuxi. Lots of good Dai ethnic food and amazing scenery.
Great video! My family originates from Jamaica. A Chinese company (CHEC) built a toll road in Jamaica a few years ago going through the mountains. The piece of the video driving in Guangdong looks just like it... Down to the toll booths - LOL
This is real China.
this is only southwest China,not whole china
no one can describe the real China
@路者闻音 你可以说这不是全部的中国，但你不应该说这不是真实的，每个人都可以描述出真实的中国，你这样说很可能让人家认为中国人很傲慢

Love China .
Hey Daniel,
You drove thru my province Guangxi (Guilin). I was on that express way many times. For me it is the most beautiful express way (called freeway in the US?) in the world. I cannot enjoy the view enough. If you have time again, please visit my village when I am in China again. :-)
哈哈！这里看到你了！
哈喽

统一说大家好。
I was born in Chongqing 80 years ago during the war. I love your road trip video! I am presently living in the SF Bays area. Thanks, I really enjoy the video!
I am in sf too . Happy to find your comments lol
Unbelievable, CT scan $60, Dr visit $2. Here we are our government in the US tell China what to do, GTFOH!
Love the video, no politics and no biases, no brainwashing, just pure facts - wish public media can do similar things everywhere.
BBC title on this will be : " An American secretly driving on Chinese government controlled road without Communist Chinese government permission #freedom fighter"
That s a good one:)))
BBC：Congratulations！You can start work at our international department tomorrow！
Adding, luckily he finished his journey without any interfernce from the government, but we were still worried about his safety.
don't believe he's American coz he's not used freedom distance units :)
Plus he mentioned few times in the vid that he's Canadian
Well said. I like it.
I am from the west coast of USA, and have always loved the adventure of a good road trip. I really enjoyed this one with you. One comment that I would make ---- map nerd that I am, I like to follow along on a map, so hearing or seeing a community, city name a little more frequently would be great. Thanks for posting.
I had spent many Summer holidays driving through Europe from UK. When I retired 15 years ago, I spent total of 3 months a year travelling to different parts of China. I really think Chinese sceneries are much better. Now I am too old to travel, I had to rely on great people like you to show me the rest of China. I was shocked at the cheapness of your son's hospital treatment & the car repairs. Thanks for your Great Video!
Road trips in China are great to see so much in such a short time seeing the beautiful landscape and scenery and infrastructure.. Thank You.
Love it! You can find easily touristic videos, but nothing as raw as your video which showcases the beauty of China in different angles. Hat off for you to juggle between making this video, taking care of your family during the trip and to try to stay positive despite the inconveniences. It's real and different than what we see out there. And very informative too 👍
This is the 1st video that I watch from your channel. I gotta confess, I was hesitant to watch when I saw that it had a duration of 1 hour, but I'm glad I did it. Thank you! I learned a ton and enjoyed the beautiful scenery that you shared with us, specially the mountains towards the end. Props to the positivism handling the car issues while having 6 people depending on your driving. You're a great guy! I'd to suggest a nice-to-have for next roadtrip videos: some sort of geolocation information to highlight the checkpoints on your roadtrip. Perhaps a little mini map? Regards from a Brazilian living in California, USA.
As a Chinese, I'm very happy to watch such a video, cuz it show us some beautiful sceneries we've never seen before.
home sweet home! when the video in Guilin part, the car just passed my home. Thank you for showing me the street, miss my home.
I loved watching the road trip! What a beautiful country. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Belgium.
Daniel, thanks for the videos. Myself and my wife were in Guilin last year, it's so great there. We were going to take a train to Yangshou and see the sights there as well for a few days and on the way to the hotel that day the cab driver was talking to us and he said "How much is the train to Yangshou?" and we told him, and he just said "I'll take you there for that, and we can see all the views on the way and you can take pictures."
What an absolutely amazing guy . So he took us, and spent the whole day pretty much showing us around all these beautiful scenic spots, stopped for a coffee, all for about £30. We obviously tried to give him some more but he just said "I don't need it, it was nice to meet you".
This kind of thing has happened to me a few times as well :)
Great footage! Keep it up! This is important work because in the US and rest of the west it's still widely perceived that China is some depressing, freedom-suppressing monolith. I was in China last Nov for the first time in 11 years. Before the visit, I warned my wife who had never been to China that the way it really is over there compared to the American media coverage would shock her. She finds it amusing when she tells Americans how it was like in China and they give her a look like they can't believe what they're hearing - it's just not in keeping with the propaganda they're used to hearing. I visited Qingdao, Jinan, Tai'an City, Beijing, Guangzhou, Taishan, Foshan, Macao and the consistent high quality of all the cities was remarkable. My mom's hometown, Guangzhou, used to have no skyline and the streets would flood every time it rained hard in the 90s. I remember thinking what a contrast it was compared to my hometown of Chicago. Now the contrast is reversed: today Guangzhou is simply better than Chicago and has a brighter future. Unfortunately, Chicago has not really progressed much in past couple decades in terms of poverty alleviation, corruption cleanup, and infrastructure.

Very cool and really beautiful scenery on the road! Well done Daniel and thanks for putting up the effort to share all of these with us!
This trip recalled me some unique experience driving from Beijing to Chengdu some years before. Families were together in small space, and my fussy dog was on my knees. That was most beautiful time to me.
This was an amazing trip, such great insight into what China is becoming. Hope you keep doing more of these.
I’ve always been amazed that China not only constructs a tunnel, they invariably create one in both directions. Great future planning.
I took my grandma to see the doctor for her back pain. We saw the doctor, got a ct scan, went back to the doctor to review the scan, go down to pay for the visit, and got the medicine, all done within one hour of the hospital visit.
More important tell Yankees how much it costs,,😂
in Canada, if you are lucky enough, it will take you at least two weeks from the first call to book appointment, to the day that you review the result with the dr. i once needed to see a specialist in canada, guess what, took me 3 months in the waiting list.

This is awesome, I'm so happy to have found your channel. Really looking forward to more videos. Just learning about what your life is like raising a family there is really interesting
Love seeing your kids, Daniel. Thanks for sharing your life with us!
You also done nice contents about China in past year. Keep going!
Thank,thank you,the road trip was brilliant, the scenery was all I hoped for, the snow was great, seeing your kids play. The rivers were beautiful. To see some of the older buildings was such a treat for me. I’m sure I will never get to China, so I really appreciated the efforts you’ve gone to show people some of China.i have really taken an interest in China these last few years, the more criticism China gets the more interest I took. You can’t keep politics out of any discussion when China is part or central to the conversation.
I have been interested in politics all my life, and China has always fascinated me, I’m aware of the criticisms China gets, but I’m also aware of the role my country Britain played in China being dominated by us and the Americans. As I said , I follow politics closely, so every time my country or America rubbish China, that’s when I tend to get really interested. For me the project was an unqualified success, and I certainly never expected to be given the opportunity to visit China, but with your kind assistance I’ve done, I will never be able to repay your act of generosity, but from the scribble I hope you can fathom how grateful I am , all the best to you and your family, I do hope I can view another travelogue soon. Lawrence
I am Chinese. So glad that you are very interested in China. I hope you may travel to China one day. You also can find some other youtuber's videos, such as Travellight, Barrett, Where's Poppy, Blondie in China. hope you like that.
Hi Daniel, I thoroughly enjoyed your video. It is interesting for a 66 yo Chinese guy living in Australia to watch. Hearth warming to see the motherland's progress and the unique landscape. Thanks a bunch for your efforts mate.
I throughly enjoyed your very beautiful and interesting road trip.Thanks for taking me along with you . The snow covered mountains, the animals on the roads remind me of my trip through Banff, AB, Canada. Sorry to hear about your son and I am very happy to hear that he has recovered fully. It’s good to see that your sons have enjoyed the snow and made a snow ball the first time. Thanks for sharing your experience on the roads and through the mountains.
Thank you for giving us, your viewers, this very interesting chance to share this journey with you. You are really a wonderful guide, thank you.
I have to add after watching the whole thing: well done. It’s really a high quality video. I like the editing, narratives and the music which all make the video interesting. And your ability of fixing problems in a foreign country is amazing. I wouldn’t be so confident to handle all these problems all by myself even I grown up in China. You’re pretty much a local now. One more suggestion that if you could draw up your itinerary on a map at the beginning of the video, it’d be helpful for people who aren’t familiar with China’s geography.
Daniel, thank you so much for your videos! You have amazing content and I am very happy that i stumbled upon your channel! You remind me of how great China is, it has been over 4 years since I was a student in Wuxi, the place where I can call second home, but it didn't pass one day without missing it!
I’ve enjoyed your shows v much. I appreciate your take on the world. I shared your stuff with friends and hope u go from strength to strength 🥇🥇stay well and keep producing!
Wow, thanks! Great to see those tunnels. It's like a miracle. And Chongqing is one of my favorite cities as well. I went there by plane last year. I never had a chance to see the tunnels, although I'm a Chinese living in Beijing. Looking forward to your Xinjiang road trip video!
Guilin , where I had studied for five years.this vid bring me back to the memories when I was there.great vid , and keep up the good work
Just finished a two week drive from Chongqing to Hainan and back, and didn't even hear about the virus until the ferry crossing. Anyway, I love doing these roadtrips whenever I can, but usually down south in winter, and north when the climes are warmer. I love your content, keep it up!
Daniel, the guy did say every 2 hours not 3 to keep your van from freezing. That was a wise man. Thanks for taking us all out for a ride and your incredible journey with such beautiful footage.
This is what life is all about, adventure and finding new places, overcoming and thriving through hard times and problems, appreciating nature and adapting to environment, and maybe most importantly for us spending quality time with loved ones and sharing moments with each other. Thank you for sharing it with us too!!
I like those little towns along the Li river out of Guilin. I have always found the people friendly and helpful. Wish i could speak mandarin well.I watched the whole show. China is so big, take years to see it all.
We truly enjoy the video of your trip. It is unpolished and truthful. Thank you for your effort!
Thank you for making this video. As a Chinese, I cannot imagine driving from Shenzhen to Chengdu. I feel Canadian and American has a really strong spirit of a long term road trip.
Thanks for this very interesting video. It was great to see how beautiful and vast China is. Such and Ancient place/country but yet such a modern place/country now as well. So good to see the fast progress China is making for all their people. Looking forward to seeing the real China , the reality of China, from your future videos. Thanks again.
Thanks so many for the beautiful footage. The video really made my eyes and mind comfortable.
Glad to see Daniel to show my bloved hometown Hunan. Thanks and enjoy your staying in CN.
What a fantastic video. China is so beautiful. Sub & bell is on. I want more!!!
Absolutely fantastic.....such a beautiful country! Thanks for the opportunity to experience it....looking forward to many more!
I've watched 那山那人那狗 when I was a kid, lived in China, still feel impressed especially hearing you mentioning
lots of memories just popped up.
:)
almost everything you would find in China,great is yours lovely videos.
Happy New Year to you & your family, Daniel !😀
Thanks for uploading this great video !
Glad & relief to know that your son is fine.
China has a lot of beautiful & magnificent natural scenaries, ancient and modern buildings !
Thank you make this nice Rv. I really enjoyed it. The scenery is great. The music is quite relaxing. Salute to the great people who built such nice roads, bridges and tunnels. I think China is on the right track. Instead of take on each other, people should really make great efforts to build up this world, lifting poorer nations living standards. Looking forward to seeing you next video.
Thoroughly enjoyed your road trip. Really nice scenery along the way. China is beautiful.
You and your family are charming to watch on this adventure. I suggest that you add English titling for the place names so that we can see where you are more precisely. I visited Shenzhen and Chengdu in Nov / Dec 2019. I would love to know where in Sichuan those beautiful mountains are located. I think you handled the problems which you encountered beautifully. You kept me watching to see how you would solve the matter. Outstanding job.
Looking back at this post upload, I certainly do need to add some context in terms of geographic location. Thanks for the suggestion. The Hunan town was Fenghuang County, the final area in Sichuan was Bipenggou, the place we found the coin was Yangshuo County
there are three snow mountains you cannot miss in Sichuan, first is Gongga, which located Kangding, it will take you 4 hours expressway drive from Chengdu - Ya'an - Kangding, and the peak about 7556m high，it considered as the most dangerous and challenging peak and only 30 climbers made to the top in history, and it's nice to visit the Panda reserve district in Ya'an, and you can visit Hailuogou, which the basecamp of Gongga, there is a lovely town over there, and you can take cablecar to see the gorgeous glacier and enjoy the spring in the town.
Second one is located in the Daocheng- Yading, keep driving from Kangding, and it may takes you 8-10 hours to get there, and also you can take bus from Kangding, but there are no expressway after Kangding, and the car have to climb over several snow mountains and the elevation also go higher and higher up to more the 4000m, yes, it's a tough trip, especially in the winter season, so the best season should be October, at that time, it is just like a colorful painting, white、blue 、yellow and red …, the scenery are absolutely breathtaking!
The third one is Siguniang mountain, it will takes you around 6 hours from Chengdu - Rilong, the scenery there are quite like Alps in Europe.
And more mountains will be more accessible in the next few years, two direction of expressway from Chengdu all the way to Tibet are been constructed, first one is G4218 Ya'an - Ye cheng, it is about more than 4000km long, second one is G4217 Chengdu - Changdu, which is Daniel experienced in this episode, these two so called "sky road" will be complete in the next 10 ~ 20 years, hope these info helps you.
@@Charlie-jj4jr awesome info. Thank you!
Those weren't actually mountains, but whole huge stones.
In a place called Wenchuan, about 200 kilometers from Chengdu, which is where the big earthquake on May 12, 2018 occurred.
Thank you for sharing your road trip, and for including the challenges you faced. You are admirably calm through all that. Glad everything worked out in the end. Look forward to viewing your other videos.
I am Chinese. Interesting trip. I never try for a quite long journey by driving. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
first time watching your show, you guys are so cool, just love it.
Understand China from this youtubers, not from CNN and BBC
Very true indeed
The best way to discover new sights and scenery of any is travelling there yourself. So Gordon McNeil, you are right.
The English TV channel BBC, is a propaganda tool of the English (British) government.
I live in Switzerland, Europe and all that i have seen in the swiss and german news about china are really not that bad. Its more like a neutral perspective.
What the fuck does a roadtrip have anything to do with day to day life and the foreign policies of a dictatorship?
One of better recommendations from TH-cam. So glad I've found this video and your channel!
This could be the longest video I've ever seen on TH-cam. But I love it.
My country has made many 10 hours video (video 10 jam)
I did a few 4000KM ish road trips in different parts of China on my own, wish I have time to edit and update my videos, great job!
Hi from Austin Texas, this was a wonderful trip, beautiful mountains and nice music to boot. Thanks for sharing..
I'm from Ireland, and a regular visitor to China. Like your videos and your presentation style. Northern China is my favourite spot. Look forward to your road trip there.
Your trip has reminded me of my trip from Vancouver to Calgary. Many beautiful scenery on the way. Thanks for sharing your video!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing.
Guangxi province photos were amazing. Nice find of the old houses and coin.
Great video and thank you for uploading it! You know what, as a local in Guangdong Province, I saw snow once only several years ago. So I can understand how excited and happy your children were. Anyway, looking forward to your next road trip video.
Wow. Epic. That was worth the watch. Great you roll with the punches and come up smiling in the face of adversity. Amazing in all aspects. Love the downloading 2,000 RMB to your bank account from your phone. That was cool. Street shots, the neon lights in the roof of the tunnels, dragons flying on the sides of buildings, little things like people walking down the street, a girl pushing a bike, four young males, nothing to do, one blowing a stream of smoke from his cigarette, statues, streams in narrow passes, your kid's first snow. An hour should be a slog, but this was a good length. Glad you didn't cut out the hard times with your car in the mountains. Loved that. Am now a subscriber. This was the first video I've seen of yours.
Thanks Daniel! Really enjoyed the video...God bless!
Thanks, high-quality and impressive!
A very good video, wonderful to see places I would otherwise never see, almost as wet as here in Scotland!. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Keep up the with the road trip in China. I admire your spirit. The drive through GUI LIN made me relive of our trip from Shenzhen to Yangshou and the Li River. Thank you so much. Looking forward to your future adventure. Raymond. Edmonton Canada.
Watching this vid feels like travel with your family😁👍
Amazing video. I’m returning to Shenzhen for work after being away for 10 years. I can’t wait to see how much it has changed. I’ll be sure to stop by your brew house for a pint!
Keep me posted. I'd be very excited if it were me moving back to shenzhen after that long. It's an awesome city!
@@DanielDumbrill Will do! Just from watching TH-cam videos it's hard to believe how much it has grown.
Remarkable inner & rare road trip along those formerly real hard core poorer rural city of China. TQvm for an effort especially brought along with toddlers of your family. Wish you all well & your family ! 👍🙏😁
I often travel to China and enjoy my journey there.
I been there in 2018 drive from Shenzhen Guangzhou hunan province hon so, I just can’t spell all this places but it was amazing, I’m planning to do it again this year.

How can you drive as a foreigner?

This is epic. We need more of this.
congratulations! happy to see your subscribers are soaring in such a stort time. keep going!
OMG！4000KM，I 服了 you! Special period, it can be understood that this is safer! Hard work!
beautiful trip, hope yall had fun!!
SiChuan! The place where I came from.. I am living in NZ now. Never image the mountain ranges looks like south alps in NZ, especially after they built this amazing highway! Thanks for your video!
Absolutely stunning infrastructure of roads and tunnels. World class all the way. Good first attempt at recording a road trip. A map showing the route you took would be helpful and names of the towns you passed through would be enlightening.
Did a similar trip from ShenZhen to Jiuzhaigou in 2007. It is amazing to see how the road system has changed since then.
I am Chinese, I live in Hunan, my wife's hometown is Sichuan.
My driving route is Hunan-Chongqing-Guizhou-Sichuan. The whole journey is 1,300 kilometers and it takes about 13 and a half hours. The scenery along the way is very good.
nice to see your kids have a good time during the road trips
More is appreciated. It really brings me back to China!
I like this familyformat filming, it is natural and interesting.
And the garagestory intro was needed to give a roadtrip feeling.
Good work, i will look for more!
Show us the trains, infrastructure, good areas etc. We are tired to see what Serpentza or the other guys showed us.
Keep up the good work and stay optimistic!
Every nation on Earth has its problems!
Losers need something to survive.
Now anti China is Serpentza's work in TH-cam.
Laowhy is worst, the whole show devolved into anti-china rhetorical propaganda
Every country has good, bad and ugly people. Serpentza just focuses on the negative things and use them to attribute the whole country or people. What a narrow minded and radical mindset!
Yeah, I got so fed up with Serpentza and Laowhy's negative attitudes...
I love the looks of traditional Chinese cities, much more than Beijing or Shanghai. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for an entertaining video. My husband & I are Canadian (he was born in Hong Kong) and are retired and living in Cozumel, Mexico. Right now we're in lockdown so I've been watching tons of TH-cam videos. I've been to HK about 12x during our 25 yrs of marriage and we did a China tour in 2006. LOVED LOVED LOVED Quilin and hope to go back some day. We did the Li River cruise which was awesome. Next time we'll need a car to get around to the outskirts like you did with that dead end road in the forest with cows and goats. Epic!
That music was so appropriate! Loved it! Great footage! 👍🏼✅💯

if a map could have been shown -- even just a roughly drawn one -- so I could see exactly
where in China you were. Hope you and your family are all safe and healthy and looking
forward to seeing more of you and your videos.
Great video Daniel! You have made an hour long video seemed only 10 minutes long. Enjoyed every minute of it with some beautiful breathtaking sceneries and infrastructures. People need to realize China have changed so fast that the Western narratives are falling so far behind. Most of the western knowledges of China is so outdated, it's like watching reruns of a black and white movie. Thank you for your great works and looking forward to see more future videos.
I went to Chengdu last July, and I was blown away by how beautiful it was and how strong the culture is. So much different than anything in the US. It was great to see parts of it here.
Also, a side note: when I saw those street lights as you were leaving Chengdu, I immedietly knew that was Dujiangyan - I got to go there, too, and it was my favorite part of the visit. The food is so good!
I am an engineer of Chinese ethnicity in my mid 70s, I made a lot of camping and road trips like yours in US, Canada and some in Europe, I have been to
China many times, your type of road trip has the same mind set as mine, your trip answer my many doubts on road trip in China, we belong to different
era, your advantage in today's travel is your cell phone, it makes road information, food and shelter so much easier. Obviously, you are a very competent
person with a very good command of the Chinese language, with the ability of bringing a party of 6-7 persons on such a trip and even have to visit a hospital
in Chongqing plus the car problems, Thanks for the video, please continue with the good work and I will continue to follow you in TH-cam.
