CCTV and BBC jointly produced a 6-episode documentary called Wild China. You could watch it, and the scenes of China in this documentary are very beautiful. This kind of beauty is exactly what the west hope China to be, wild, primitive, and backward. In this documentary, it is completely unclear that China is the world's largest industrialized country.
@@robinzzs Otherwise, you think the BBC would be willing to join in? Unless BBC can portrait the place like the wild wild world African safari with yesteryear's nostalgia, it wouldn't be politically correct.
You will inspire many western people to explore China and build a good understanding instead of hatred. I myself was influenced by western culture since I was a young kid, so I can say that I understand western culture more than western understand us, the Chinese. I hope your videos will continue to help western people to learn more about China. By the way, your Chinese pronunciation is amazing, I am kinda shocked.
I wish I'm living, studying and working in a paradise like this. I feel like visiting this place again on my PC screen after visiting Yangshuo nearly 6 years ago. Also, love the translator pen, it's so intelligent and much much better than Google Translate.
traveling and learning something new in a place like this for a period of time/growing up here is two complete different feeling. my friend🤭 but low cost of living and high standard of life quality is true
What a stunning beautiful landscape you are surrounded with! You are so lucky to be able to study Chinese language at young age in such beautiful and relax environment. I wish I can be retired right now and buy a property in this place. Any place with water, mountain/hills, cannot go wrong. I hope they keep this place not too crowded or too commercial. China has definitely changed for the better. Years ago, rural place like this did not look this organized and clean. Now it looks so nice and neat and well maintained. This is so much prettier than what I have seen in other parts of Asia. Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful China that people cannot see from the bias Western media. It is sad, that the Western media is so mean to China and Chinese people and people actually believe what the crap they spread out there. Please keep doing what you are doing in showing us what you see and experience in China that we cannot see outside of China through the Western media.
Yes, I think life and beauty should have nothing to do with politics. At least what we think is beautiful should be reported transparently and publicly. This is also a part of Chinese culture, inclusive of all rivers, tolerance is great, tolerance, coexistence, and truthfulness. Hope the world becomes better, work hard together, and feel the beauty of the world.
@Peter Williams You can take a short leave and go to visit Yangzhou before you decide to stay there for a long time or not. Of course, It is a terrific place that many people want to settle there, not matter they are Chinese or westerners.
5:58 as a Chinese. They are typical amateur chess players on the street. The red side grabbed the offensive, but black has more offensive pieces and fewer defensive pieces, but the defensive formation is very good. Not surprisingly, the player playing black will win.
They forgot that basic fact that Chinese are people, People can be happy, they also forgot that China is a country and a country can be developing and harmonious
Not that they forgot. They just don’t think Chinese or Asians should. You can call it what you want but discrimination and glass ceiling are nothing new in the west. You have to work harder and perform much better to get the job.
@@TAL142 it’s not like Chinese aren’t working hard enough already. Most of the west still doesn’t want others to have what they have, or can not tolerate the thought of it at the very least.
@@admirali.a.6175 Basically the attitude is people can have the bread crumbs US is willing to give you but US has to determine your path. Just like Toshiba was big in semi-conductor but US forced them to sell and let them keep some key components. And US has so much turmoil internally and they want to make the same mess globally. They used whatever to divide including racism and wars. The NGOs are one of their weapons. They are mostly funded by government and run by ex-government officials.
I've seen White people on the internet literally say Asians are an inferior race. They don't want to see any Asians/Chinese succeed. I've also experienced it multiple times in my 30 years in NYC. They may not say it to your face most of the time but you can tell by their attitude and body language conveying that thought. No it's not EVERY non-Asian people doing that, but there's more than enough of them. That's why there are a lot of self hating Asians in the West. They don't want to face this kind of discrimination constantly and want to become fully assimilated (White) and reject their Asian roots.
The translation pen you introduced is very good, What you said at the last few minutes of the film is very reasonable and i feel that your Feeling is true.
That shoe fixer on the sidewalk reminds me of my time in my hometown in southern Philippines when I was younger. We have those people and back then people aren't so into consumerism and so keeping a quality old shoes was common and this trade was really common. You see them fixing shoes here and there and waxing them in the end. But now so many bargain shoes are available you don't see that many people trying to fix their leather shoes
Here in Indonesia, shoe fixer are still exist and I've been seeing them on many occasions. I suppose they may not be as popular as they were back then but in my case, I often seeing one wandering around as they carry their sewing tools while shouting "shoe sole!" on the way, hoping for anyone to use their service. Sometimes I feels bad for them because they're poor and people paid them cheap.
I love your videos mate. That is correct I have just completed high school and I have completely become a different person. and I guess that's the same for my other mates too.
Amazing view! Imagine at the pathway, those paddy fields became golden (ripen) and the blowing wind cause ripples or waves on the field. During late afternoon or sunset time it the view would be insane. Thanks for sharing.
That scan pen is amazing! I wish I got something like this when I was studying Chinese in 2001! I ordered a dish which I thought it's beef...but turned out to be bull frogs.....lol
Oli, China is maturing you and instilling in you wisdom beyond your years by providing abundance of culture, safety and dynamism. You lucked out and chose more correct paths than wrong. Happy for you and your dad.
A polyglot/multilingual future. There are other countries that are proud of their linguistic diversity like Singapore, Mauritius, South Africa, Cameroon, Malaysia and Switzerland
For real 6:09-6:30 I just love how clean and tidy the street is, almost mistaken it as Japan for a moment!😍 Just wow! Is this even a county?😳 It's fascinating how developed and modern this is with "urban" town design, multi-storey housings and offices, modernized public services and facilities to an extent, high standard private school(?), etc. For example, my hometown which is supposedly a provincial capital city itself, is not even close to a "mere" Chinese county like this! And fyi, a Chinese county is close to a district in Indonesia.. but Yangshuo is just as developed and, if more beautiful than many regencies/cities in our country here😍☺️
I am never tired of beautiful scenery of HuilIn & Yangshuo mountain and river, it is so peaceful and meantime full of life, vividly. Thanks for sharing such beautiful experience. And wish I can see more you going deeper,, I am curious what the end would look like of this magnificent huge scale of nature painting.
As a Malaysian Chinese, we have a lot of commons like Chinese people in China, we love peace, we love wealthy, and we love to share our culture. Not that I don't understand why the western countries hate on us, is that I totally understand WE can survive without their idealism. So just stop it and work hard for your people in the western, stop attacking Asians.
OMG! This was the place I passed by when taking the train from Guilin to Nanning. Loved the karsty landscape so much but due to the short trip I wasn't able to visit. So happy to discover you're featuring it. Have always loved your videos showing village life. It's a paradise😱. Thank you. Look FWD to more village videos 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I truly enjoyed this video of the rural part of China. It’s beautiful! I am a nature lover. I can see myself living here for the rest of my life . Thanks for sharing. I hope that you will continue to learn the Chinese language and enjoy the rest of your life in China. 👍💪💪😊❤️Please continue to show us more videos of the different parts of the rural China. You are still young and your life in China should be bright and successful. Take care
Oli, you speak the truth, it is a sight that money can not buy, no way! It"s really picture prefect and worth the distance you have to cover to reach the exotica , the climax is really soul pleasing, the clear water river is so inviting especially the weather is so complimentary. Lucky man, all the way from England.
Nice view, even though I feel that's ordinary view since I raised up at all most the same view. You can see there are many rice farm land in green there, so I recommend Oli could visit there again in Autumn like the late of the October maybe, I bet you would love it and will see those green rice farm land ALL turn in yellow and you could even smell the special nice smell of rice. Damn I miss that time when I was in my hometown Guangxi
I am really envious of your 'simple ' life you are living in 阳朔! Your videos have definitely made a difference to westerners who have no knowledge about China other than listening or reading from western MSM. There will definitely be an huge increase in tourism in China once the pandemic is over. Well done Lee and Oli 👍👍💪💪🙏🙏🇨🇳🇨🇳
It's OK if you don't know the local dialect, most of us don't know dialects from other provinces either. At least that's what I've been telling myself, when trying to understand english I just never have any clue what some Irish people are saying.😂
I roinnt cásanna, ní dhéanann siad ceachtar. 英文翻译: In some cases, neither do they. After I get a firm grasp of HSK3, I'm going to work some more on my Irish Gaelic.
Liked what you said about living in a big city vs. smaller place, it's very true: it feels like we are constantly running and chasing, keep all the plates spinning...your thoughts are inspiring, coupled with this breathtaking view, it's even better experience for us. Would love to take a break and to be in the middle of this georgeous view myself, thank you for bringing us along :)
To really see beauty in anything, slow down. Better still, stop to look and listen. As one slows down, even a simple wild flower by the roadside is more beautiful. It's true even in the city. We miss a lot by rushing through.
Olly, you have no idea how jealous and envious I am of you!! My husband and I did the 3Gorges Dam Tour in 2014. We boarded in Yangshuo. What exquisite memories you have awakened in me by this video. My friend, enjoy every moment of your life in China. It's a beautiful country in every way. Thanks for this video. Jia you !
Hi, Oli, the place is so picturesque and scenic, thank you for showing us the authentic version of China, I can't wait to visit China......hope the pandemic will be over soon....Cheers good luck and good health. By the way, your spoken Chinese is improving every day, you speak like a local !
I like this video. It truly gives me much food for thought. I grew up in the city of Guilin. I’ve been Yangshuo several times when I was little. My father took me there to learn English. I left my hometown since I went to college which is far way from Guilin. And I’m working at the first-tier city in China. It’s really like what you said: Always keeping up with something surrounding you. Living my life with materialistic and spiritual pressure in the metropolis. And I’ve got used to it for ages since I came to the big city. But actually down deep, I’d rather living my life much simpler.
This place kind of fantasy picturesque like that "Lord of the Rings" trilogy but unique and onto its own. Its cool. Maybe a simple life is better in some ways than in the big cities.
Yangshou is a beautiful place. I dipped my big toe in the Li river many times. Go and visit Xingping Ancient Town. The picture is at the back of the 20 yuan note. I'll be returning to Yangshuo in the near future when China opens up again.
Godamnit, your Putonghua pronunciation is spot on !!! You’re living the life, man! Feeling like 16 again sounds about right: so much to look forward to; all curiosity, wonder and venturing forth. Wished more foreign friends would come to see China for themselves like you and not shortchange their dreams by listening to biased MSM.
Thanks a lot. I put a lot of focus on pronunciation when I began learning. I hope so too! Maybe our videos are encouraging some people to come over and check it out for themselves
@@BarrettYT You are certainly doing that. I think one day we will all look back and see how your videos (and those of your fellow YTers in China’s) are at the vanguard of this unique movement of “foreigners” (personally I view you guys as Chinese) pioneering an insider’s’ view of China on the ground to a western audience. This space is a vacuum as the MSMs have wilfully relinquished that job. Keep up the good work.
Oil, Very well said! Life is changing, people is changing, nature is changing too……nothing is fixed, people should keep their mind open and growing……you have been growing so much since first time watching your video…….Society is a real university, you learn more priceless and valuable lessons from your own life experience! If your high school classmates still picture you in the old way, it means they are really stuck in the past and you are moving fast forward…….just like when I compare UK with China…..
I've spent most of my life in sizable cities but I was in Small town Indiana for a little while and rural West Virginia for a little while also. I found that cities are great, and so is the countryside. It's the suburbs that are dull as hell.
it's amazing you can find this place...I went to Guilin and Yangshuo years ago but only places "designed for tourists", it feels strange but amazing that foreigners know more china than ourselves. love your channel
Thanks for sharing this video. I love Yangshuo, had been there three times visiting some villages though I always stayed around West Street. Never been to this type of countryside, simply beautiful and serene!
Oli, please visit my hometown Xiamen and don't miss my born place Jimei! You will definitely love it. Visiting my friend's tea farm in the mountain 1000 meter above the sea level will be an brilliant experience as well. cheers mate!
Your are lucky to be able to visit the best scenery in China... I was there forty years ago during a group trip.Apparently the natural beauty still the same..
i hope and barretts can come and visit yangzhou, an ancient city with over 2500 years history, in next year's spring and summer.there is a saying in ancient china 'go to yangzhou in April'. the scenery under spring sun in yangzhou is pretty good.
It’s a great place to visit and live. But people from Guangxi province (where Yangshuo belongs to) have many various strong minority accents. It may make your learning experience much harder. Oli has problem understanding the sewing lady but even for native Chinese speakers, they can barely understand her as well. If you want to quickly improve your language, you should probably try Beijing or other big cities. But if you want to balance your language study and living and exploring the beauty of China, Yangshuo is definitely a top choice.
I grew up in Guilin seeing this kind of sceneries. It is normal for us but we didn’t take it as granted. We know how amazing it is. Glad you’ve found some inner peace here. When I was there, in my childhood, staring at those hills and rivers always calm me down. Feeling so much homesick watching your vids.
Hope you enjoyed my little bike tour around this area of Yangshuo. Let me know if you'd like to see more stuff while I'm driving around places!

You’re living the life, man! Feeling like 16 again sounds about right: so much to look forward to; all curiosity, wonder and venturing forth. Wished more foreign friends would come to see China for themselves like you and not shortchange their dreams by listening to biased MSM.
Thanks a lot. I put a lot of focus on pronunciation when I began learning. I hope so too! Maybe our videos are encouraging some people to come over and check it out for themselves
@@BarrettYT You are certainly doing that. I think one day we will all look back and see how your videos (and those of your fellow YTers in China’s) are at the vanguard of this unique movement of “foreigners” (personally I view you guys as Chinese) pioneering an insider’s’ view of China on the ground to a western audience. This space is a vacuum as the MSMs have wilfully relinquished that job. Keep up the good work.
Oil, Very well said! Life is changing, people is changing, nature is changing too……nothing is fixed, people should keep their mind open and growing……you have been growing so much since first time watching your video…….Society is a real university, you learn more priceless and valuable lessons from your own life experience! If your high school classmates still picture you in the old way, it means they are really stuck in the past and you are moving fast forward…….just like when I compare UK with China…..
I've spent most of my life in sizable cities but I was in Small town Indiana for a little while and rural West Virginia for a little while also. I found that cities are great, and so is the countryside. It's the suburbs that are dull as hell.
I visited Yangshuo a few years ago and it is one of my favorite place in China, the scenery is stunning highly recommend if you haven’t been there.
Beautiful, green, fresh atmosphere and amazing landscape.
You can live a longer life in such peaceful environment.
it's amazing you can find this place...I went to Guilin and Yangshuo years ago but only places "designed for tourists", it feels strange but amazing that foreigners know more china than ourselves. love your channel
你如果觉得中国好就举手按赞🙋
你如果觉得中国不好，就写一写评语吧！🔥
I grew up in such environment. Such places always bring back fond memories of my childhood days.
A lot of words of wisdom in this video, especially the judging people part.
True. Oli is mature and shows wisdom.
Thanks for sharing this video. I love Yangshuo, had been there three times visiting some villages though I always stayed around West Street. Never been to this type of countryside, simply beautiful and serene!
Oli, please visit my hometown Xiamen and don't miss my born place Jimei! You will definitely love it. Visiting my friend's tea farm in the mountain 1000 meter above the sea level will be an brilliant experience as well. cheers mate!
你的解说词也非常到位，既应景，又富于哲理，而且语言优美动人！
What an amazing tool you use! I gonna buy one for my French learning.
Your are lucky to be able to visit the best scenery in China...
I was there forty years ago during a group trip.Apparently the natural beauty still the same..
holy s* dude, being able to read chinese puts you on another level altogether.
Yes the translation pen makes the possibility of a trip to China for me more likely.
Your Chinese has improved greatly in just a few months. Very proud of you. Good job.
Thank you Barrett. Its beautiful view
The view is breathtaking, thank you for sharing this. Love from Hong Kong. Peace!
Just can't imagine your Putonghua sounds just like a Chinese in only 6 weeks. Keep up with the good work.
The sceneries are gold. Thank you Oli for sharing beautiful China through your positive lens. The mountains are quite stunning.
i hope and barretts can come and visit yangzhou, an ancient city with over 2500 years history, in next year's spring and summer.there is a saying in ancient china 'go to yangzhou in April'. the scenery under spring sun in yangzhou is pretty good.
You are mastering the tones of the Chinese you spoke in the video. Well done!
Thanks for the double subtitles!
Been there 10 years ago. Would love to go back for a longer stay. Its stunning, the scenery!
i need this pen for my two children, we are in hk and learning PTH is not easy at all, thanks for the code.
环境更重要，不说就会废，多看普通话电视跟着学比较好，家长也要学起来，这样小孩才有练习的对象。
'These ppl must be forced to be here because they knew i was coming'. That cracked me up big time dude😆
Absolutely spectacular!
the scenery is amazing，I love that much，hope for sharing with us
What a beautiful place! Have not even heard of it. A good place to study Chinese there?
Yeah, I love it here.
不，这里的话不够标准。如果你长期在这里，会带坏了你的发音。
It’s a great place to visit and live. But people from Guangxi province (where Yangshuo belongs to) have many various strong minority accents. It may make your learning experience much harder. Oli has problem understanding the sewing lady but even for native Chinese speakers, they can barely understand her as well.
If you want to quickly improve your language, you should probably try Beijing or other big cities. But if you want to balance your language study and living and exploring the beauty of China, Yangshuo is definitely a top choice.
@@user-uu3zj7ud2f 哈哈哈，老师不可能是广西口音吧！
Thank you all for your enlightening comments.
The city looks super clean. Excellent work.
Your Chinese improved so much, good job man !
wow, i love this place so much greens & mountains around just amazing!
好先进的翻译器，赞！
I grew up in Guilin seeing this kind of sceneries. It is normal for us but we didn’t take it as granted. We know how amazing it is. Glad you’ve found some inner peace here. When I was there, in my childhood, staring at those hills and rivers always calm me down. Feeling so much homesick watching your vids.
that device is pretty handy! Great vid as always!
What a beautiful scenery! That is just amazing
其实我不想点醒你们西方，西方看似开放，但实际上某种程度上跟中国的大清差不多--是的，如果没西方的入侵，其实大清过得还不错，活在自己的世界里，自给自足--扯远了。我要说的其实是知己知彼百战百胜，但现在西方与东方明显信息不对称，东方对西方的认知远远超过西方对东方的认知，这都拜西方的政客和媒体所赐，为了他们的政治利益而做了太多愚民的报道。长期如此，是有利于东方在与西方的竞争中获得优势的，这就是我不常跟西方人说的原因。
自私地想， 我覺得他們更合適井底 🤣🤣🤣🤣
所以至今还有很多西方人觉得中国真的就bbc灰色黑白滤镜那样
嘘，别告诉他们
嘘，别告诉他们
那你在这里说个鸡毛？
鄉下的小路開車要開慢D,慢慢享受美麗的風景。
