I am always amazed at your stamina to keep moving, even when you are visibly tired. Your relationship works so well as you travel China. The vlog was beautiful.😊
Actually, Bama is very famous in China, it's one of the most health and longevity place in China. there are some people from mega cities who got cancer came to Bama and live in the village.
Key points about why some Chinese hotels might not accept foreigners: Registration requirements: Hotels are required to register foreign guests with the local police, which can be a deterrent for smaller establishments due to the paperwork involved. Language barriers: Some hotels may lack staff with sufficient English language skills to handle foreign guest check-ins and interactions. Lack of awareness: In more remote areas, hotel operators might not be fully aware of the regulations regarding accepting foreign guests. Concerns about compliance: Fear of potential fines or legal issues if they make mistakes in the registration process for foreign guests. Recent developments: Government intervention: Chinese authorities have recently issued directives stating that all hotels should accept foreign guests and are taking steps to streamline the registration process. Improved training: Efforts are being made to train hotel staff on better handling foreign guest interactions and registration procedure
I I like your video, it provides another perspective on tourism, not the famous and noisy city, but the natural countryside, which makes me feel calm and healing
I love all those Chinese mountains, one can see how they have inspired eons of Chinese art. Well done for having navigated the byways and sharing them with us.
I know right? Before exploring the country I just kind of assumed that the Chinese landscape paintings we always see were a unique way of depicting mountains etc., but once in the country we’ve realised how special and particular the landscapes actually are. It’s been a real pleasure to get to explore the places we’ve gotten to!
Thank you for showing us the China that nobody goes to visit , I enjoyed is so beautiful and different from what we know . Have fun and take good care of yourself, enjoy the trip.
I feel you two about the hotel situation. Next time you should just walk up to the front desks whenever you see a hotel and ask for a room if you are that tired.
If you want to extend your stay, you can leave China through any border crossing, even for just one minute, and then re-enter under visa-free entry. The duration will be reset and recalculated.
I recommend that you try consuming quinoa at every meal, which is a protein rich plant seed. Very healthy, very nutritious, very suitable for you. After you return to China, you can purchase quinoa online in China.
I was so moved when you sharing the feeling about travelling through China. And then 20:25 a sex toy shop poped up in the background which almost ruined this touching moment😂
Hahaha 9:11 Ali what an amazing groaner joke/dad joke. You become better and better 😂 we call such kind of joke in Poland "suchar". My husband would be very proud of you because he is the groaner joke master in our house 😊
Happy New Year! When foreigners stay in hotels in China, they should look for foreign-related hotels. Generally, hotels cannot meet the service standards, so they are not allowed to receive foreign guests.
no,....most place in china don't have this request any more. bama is a exception, i don't know why , wish gov can change the rules , make a trip more convenient .
I thought the central government has warned all hotels/hostels not to reject international travellers with the opening of the visa free to so many countries....still 👍to you for somehow managing to navigate to your final destinations, places which are off the radar for most foreign tourists and not that easy to get to as foreigners.
Qué maravilla el paisaje en Guangxi! Estar allí en el campo, fuera de las rutas turísticas, una auténtica experiencia! Gracias por habernos levado con vosotros! Y también ver las diversas caras de una aventura como esa, desde los maravillosos a los desagradables momentos, todo incluido en el pack, la vida misma a través de vuestros ojos. Love❤
I want to tell you two things. First, there are two types of hotels in China: those that can accommodate foreigners and those that cannot. Many hotels simply ignore this regulation, but in some places, it is strictly enforced. Clearly, you encountered a place in Bama where the rule was strictly followed.
Ah that’s so kind of you. We would have loved to experience the spring festival with a local, but because everyone warns you that it is not a good time to be a traveller in the country (as everyone is moving to see family and a lot of businesses are closed), we decided to leave and come back in February. Thank you again and we wish you a very happy new year! 🎇
@@WaleandMe In China, the Spring Festival is the grandest festival, we will return to our hometown to spend with our relatives, if we have friends from afar, we will also warmly invite them to spend this festival together. In Guangxi, if you go to any village, the villagers will invite you to spend this festival together. We are very enthusiastic and look forward to friends from other countries to spend this festival with us. It's a shame that you left China.😖
@@WaleandMe The spring festival is actually not good for ordinary travelers who came to see attractions and experience busy cities because these places are either closed or empty. But for you two who like to travel without a plan and blend in local life, times like this might not be a bad idea. The center of the city will be empty, attractions closed, but people's life are vibrant. You may want to be in it. BTW it will be hard to find a restaurant that's open on the first three days of year. That's all.
Maybe those hotels that turned you down weren't legal, and so they didn't want to rent to foreigners just in case anything happened to you, they would get into trouble.
This is the worst advice in the world. So they'd buy an eBike (which definitely requires registration in Guangxi) and requires a license if it's bigger than the share-bike size and then somehow they'd learn to drive a scooter with their stuff and then drive down to the Vietnam border and what, sell the eBike at the border? You have a lot to learn about China and how things work (and do not work) in China heheh.. a LOT to learn.
Second , it’s necessary to point out a significant cultural difference. In China, you should not avoid filming those who help you, and you certainly shouldn’t edit their faces out of the video. The simple belief among Chinese people is that someone who does good deeds deserves to be praised, and someone who does bad deeds deserves to be held accountable. Therefore, when you intentionally avoid filming those who do good deeds, it implies that you don’t want kind-hearted individuals to receive public recognition, which goes against Chinese cultural values. Lastly, I want to say that your video is fantastic! Thank you.
Ive seen so many videos of Westerners travelling to China and enjoying the tech, the food, acenery, the history, and above all, the prices and hospitality that I get a little worried those people mess up and give us a bad name for acting entitled. I dont want to be labelled as a barbarian. The century of humiliation a Is fresh in their minds.
Respect you for becoming vegetarians. If you don't eat meat, please eat more soy products and carbohydrates to ensure that you get enough protein and energy. If you don't drink milk, please try soy milk. I wish you good health.
@@datang-nomad slow trains, yes I saw some from Hanoi to Nanning. I might take that train but for touists who are visiting, trains go past everything. They aren't really traveling to Vietnam just for a destination but want to see the sights, look around, find some adventures. Buses are one way to do distances but also stop many places, visit, eat, get back on the next bus for a while.
Their China series already proved everything, the west media are lying to stop you finding the truth in China, including the recent stupid travel warning from Canada government. China is safe, free, cheap and decent people here.

Exactly! It’s not just an artistic interpretation, the art truly captures the unique contours of these ranges. I look forward to your take on Vietnam.

Happy New Year! When foreigners stay in hotels in China, they should look for foreign-related hotels. Generally, hotels cannot meet the service standards, so they are not allowed to receive foreign guests.
In China, foreigners must book a three-star or higher foreign-related hotel. The room rate for a three-star hotel is not expensive
這個政策早就取消了

Hi, what this yellow flower at your backpack means?
I thought the central government has warned all hotels/hostels not to reject international travellers with the opening of the visa free to so many countries....still 👍to you for somehow managing to navigate to your final destinations, places which are off the radar for most foreign tourists and not that easy to get to as foreigners.
Hotels in China require an additional permit to accommodate foreigners, that is old policy， some hotel don't know it was canceled

Y también ver las diversas caras de una aventura como esa, desde los maravillosos a los desagradables momentos, todo incluido en el pack, la vida misma a través de vuestros ojos. Love❤
As a Chinese local, I feel It's a pity that still so many hotels reject foreigners, just to keep them from trouble.
We luckily never got rejected anywhere except in that town. Our experience overall has been great and very easy 🙂
@@WaleandMe If this happens again, you can call the police. They can help you find a hotel to stay.
@@WaleandMe Thanks for speaking out though. I believe it will get better in the future.
Lol, I love your Ally jokes.😂❤

you should visit yunnan
You should give some footage to the drivers who helped you
有需要時你們可以騎小摩托車，不需要駕照的。
艾尔是对的，中国新的政策是允许所有酒店接待外国客人的。他们也许是真的不知道这个变化，也许只是借口，因为他们没有接待外国人的经验，觉得沟通起来麻烦，也许是他们不知道怎么把你们的护照信息录入到跟公安连接的系统。而那些接待你们的更小的酒店，包括你们在贵州入住的，他们也许并没有录入你们的信息，因为他们并不是很害怕警察因此对他们的处罚（他们的违规成本更低），警察也不是太关注这些家庭酒店。另外，其实在中国，电动自行车是不需要驾照的，摩托车和电动摩托才需要，你们以后有需要可以放心的租赁。尽管你们暂时离开了中国，我还是会关注善良的你们。越南的文化跟我们有接近的地方，曾经的政治制度也相似，相信你们在越南也会获得很好的体验。旅途愉快
Welcome to Guangxi,Are you still in Guangxi, I can take you to experience the Spring Festival in Guangxi

I believe you don’t need a license for electric scooters, only for gas ones.

新年快乐，欢迎再来
Who or what is Bama,?? anyone know?
一个空气非常好的地方。听说人在那边待一阵子，很多病就可以治愈。
Bama (巴马长寿村) in Hechi City, Guangxi, is known as the Longevity Village.
bama 是個地名，是一個縣城，哪裡因為有很多百歲老人，是有名的長壽之鄉。
你们可以在当地租借一辆电动小摩托车，只要不是燃油机动摩托车就不需要驾照，电动的摩托车在中国是不需要驾照的，出行真的很方便

Always ask help from local polices, they will guide you to a hotel for you.

巴马，长寿之乡，没听过？
应该是巴马吧
你没有在加油站或者超市里看到过巴马的矿泉水吗？
只能说你有点无知，中国最有名的长寿之乡。当地的土壤，水，粮食，水果富含有硒元素。甚至有人在城市里卖巴马本地的水。很多城市里得了癌症的人，跑到巴马农村里住上很多年。我知道的就很几位。

他们估计中国很落后很便宜，现实并非如此。预算不足也只能这样。
他们看起来预算有限，一路上基本都在搭车步行或者乘坐巴士，而且住的旅馆都是最便宜的，其实高铁也并不贵，或许他们更想体验一下除了高铁之外的方式吧
