- Recently I went to an amazing little town outside of Beijing. This little town was called Gubei Water Town and it is nestled at the base of the Simatai section of the Great Wall of China. In this little town they have some fantastic light shows, steam foot baths, and lots of little shops and restaurants. They even have an ice playground! You have to check this place out if you come to Beijing and have some time to spend at the Great Wall.

Hi Everybody! Happy New Year!! Hope everyone had a wonderful new year. I loved sharing this experience with you and tried to make it a little fun at the same time. Hope you enjoy!
You have a real talent. A nice blend of visuals and discussion. I have been missing China and your videos have filled a void. I hope you continue to make them, and fingers crossed I will be able to get back to China by the end of the year.
@@chrismason3406 thanks Chris. Hope you can get back soon.
11:00 best part at the end for everyone who missed christmas this year. Look at that setup, wish I saw something like this for this year. Guess I spend next year's Christmas at that location 😮😁
It was so cool to see all the holiday decorations there. So much holiday cheer.
A not-so-fun fact, this place happened to be the very ground where a pitched battle was fought during the 1933 Battle of the Great Wall, between the invading Japanese army and Chinese garrison at the time, with over 40k casualty in the end. It's hard to imagine it has become such a beautiful tourist spot nowadays!
I had no idea. That is a not so fun fact. It would be so hard to believe seeing it now. Wow. Thanks for sharing that.
@@JohnThomasAbroad No worries buddy, love your videos, taking a book worm like myself to places without me getting up from my couch ; )
Very cool and amazing place!!!!!
It sure was amazing!
The reason l like your video, is, its a slow pace n your editing is smooth, explanation is thorough n your pleasant voice n choice of words, not as chaotic as many others, where l get headaches just watching them talking so fast, switching sceneries n rushing here n there n noisy! Yours is quiet n music is just right for the occasion/sceneries! Top notch!!!! Well done!🙏👍🇨🇳
A nice video welldone!
Thank you Baolinh! Appreciate it.
The little town just so surreal & beautiful that I can imagine someone dressed like Elsa then sing ： let it go ...let it go & slaying on the frozen lake❄️❄️❄️
Totally agree!! I can totally imagine that.
Nice light show ✨
Mini huge I have never seen a light show like that before on the building. It was so good.
So cool and amazing John, I can only wish I am there .Have a good time .
Love that ice wall so cool! Great video thanks for sharing your experience with us made my day!👍
Thank you so much for watching!
i like the positivity you exudes in all your videos. keep it up, buddy!!!
Thanks! I enjoy making them and sharing what’s it’s like living here.
hello，dear friend！massage from student in Tianjin
You are so lucky to be going to school here in this amazing city. I love Tianjin.
wow! love that edit effect at the start very cool and that winter wonderland. amazing! what a pretty town! love that tower in the distance. that breakfast is an acquired taste! haha the ice chairs! and its gorgeous all lite up, what a great share, you are certainly selling china to me :)
Thanks so much. The breakfast is an acquired taste. 😆 It was a great little town. More to come.
Looks like you guys had a great time!
I love the idea they use the drones to carry the sky lantern instead of using fire. Much safer!
Wyatt I totally agree. It was so innovative!
this vlog is cool, just like the old time...
I really loved making this video. Such a fun time.
This is an amazing video wished it could be longer. It's always so much pleasure to watch u being happy and having fun!
I imagined myself sitting at the bench looking at all these beautiful sceneries & eating a delicious lunch box...
Thank you China for preserving these old beauties.
Wonderful trip
Yes it was! I really loved my time there. Thanks k kw!
Very nice. This deserve more views!
Thanks! It was such a beautiful city.
That town doesn't even look real! It looks like a movie set!
All that frozen water and ice sculptures look incredible! Omg. You always go to the best places!
Your breakfast as well. I've been craving bao so bad! But the Chinese kind. Can't wait until I get back to Australia so I can get fat off of them 😂
Australia in a couple months right? The bao is waiting for you! It was really a beautiful city.
Nice early start but worth it love the castle made of ice! Can tell its freezing but looks magical! Love the goldfish x Amazing place seeing this beautiful town its gorgeous x nice looking breakfast x Hotel looks lovely x
Thank you! Magical is such a great word to describe it.
Happy new year and it’s so beautiful and peaceful
Thanks! Happy New Year to you also.
Very nice town. Fun activities to do there in winter. At the base of the great wall that is a pretty incredible place. Have a great 2021. 👌
Thanks Wade. It was fun to explore. My best to you in 2021.
The lanterns that rised up to the dark sky is really beautiful sight to behold. I could imagine how amazing that was to be there seeing it.
MG Lee is what so great to see. Amazing and there was so much more.
It's so smart to use drone lantern to replace real sky lantern that may cause huge fire in the forest.
Great point Solerhongkong. It was so smart! Also this was just a small part! There were so many more.
@@JohnThomasAbroad Will you go to Harbin Ice Festival this year? I heard the one in Changchun is even bigger.
You read my mind. I was supposed to be in Changchun this weekend but it fell through. It’s on my list but not sure if I can make it.
Cute intro!
Thanks!!😊
You are so cute. I have subscribed to you.
Thank you battle beas Rex.
everytime i saw your video,i feel like i am in on there.you so good to make your audience to feeling the atmosfir your travel, and your so good for editing video. you deserve more subscribers and viewer,good job thomas 👍👊💪
This made my day Asiautayan! Thank you.
Where are your gloves and your hat?!! How are you not freezing? I grew up in this climate and I'm cold looking at you! That ice house is really pretty. I feel like it could be from a scene in The Nutcracker. I love the floating lanterns! They do that in DC, but I've never taken the time to go.
The light show was so impressive. I learned my lesson for sure. I need to bundle up some more.
You re not really warmly dressed, no hat and no gloves at minus 7?😨
You are so right! I had gloves in my pocket but hard to operate the camera. I should have worn a hat for sure.
I loved the drone lights. What figure did they make? I would love to experience an Ice town!
Such a fun video.
Thank you!
Awesome! I‘d love to come there next winter 😊 in 2019 we had been to a small village close to Mutiyanju section because Gubei was booked out. 😕 Did you film this vlog on the ZV-1? Have a great day
Hello. Yes I got the Sony ZV-1. It’s a great vlogging camera though I do struggle with looking in the camera lens rather than the monitor which is off to the side. But I’m getting used to it. Used the Canon before but the sound quality on this camera is far superior in my opinion.
Background music name please
What month did you go there? I'm visiting Gubei on Dec 10. I wonder if it is going to be that freezing, too.
do u shoot and edit all by yourself that's impressive
Thanks. I do it all by myself. It’s a really fun hobby to make these videos. I really enjoy it.
John, How did you find all these awesome yet unheard of places? Is it from tour books or by word of mouth? I hope those traditional houses and towns will be preserved.
I take a lot of tours with local groups that know interesting places to see. Thanks Dog Man.
hey， i know you, you are the guy from strange parts, the man who build his own iPhone in china, pretty sure you are his brother.
"Those goldfish are being punished, Time out"🤣🤣🤣🤣, of course you know they are still asleep! Cant stop laughing at your cute sense of humor. Love watching your vlog n that smile! I shared many of your videos with my husband cause he doesnt believe China is safe, clean n have such wonderful new Mega Cities. He is still with those fake Western MSM!
Thanks for bring us along!
