- I am again exploring the rural areas of China 🇨🇳, but this time of the smallest and southern most province of Hainan. Hainan is the tropical paradise for Chinese people especially during winter when its mildly warm there. I am heading from Haikou to central Hainan to see the rural part of the island, meeting its friendly people, and trying betel nut which has an old tradition in Hainan.
Join me on this adventure in China's paradise island 🎬

Yan, you are the perfect ambassador to share the diverse beauty and nature of your country. You're friendly and curious personality invites all you meet to respond in kind. I enjoy every one of your videos and am so glad that I came upon your TH-cam channel. Thank you and happy travels. ❤
I will never forget my first trip to Hainan from Guangzhou by overnight train. I could not believe that the entire train was loaded on to a ferry boat with vehicles on one level and people on top Haikou. After crossing the straits, the train unloaded and continued to Sanya. A marvel feat of engineering! Haven't lived in Hawaii, Hainan is my favourite tropical paradise.
I like that you take time to chat with the locals and brave enough to try the unique local food. So surprise to know that betel nut eating is prevalent there. Hope the red stain after eating it doesn’t stay. Do continue to have a safe journey, a wonderful time and a growing audience.
I remember the red stains when the elders in the village spit after chewing those betel nuts. 😅
Another great vlog. Thanks.
i tried chewing betel nut once. it was kind of sweet. it is not betel nuts that caused teeth problems, it is the lime.
Thanks for showing this island, I have always wanted to see it, hopefully in person someday.
Hopefully you can make it!!
It's really amazing :)
Thank you 🥰
@@littlechineseeverywherehow to be in touch with you Yan?
Hainan is really so beautiful. Most of my NZ friends have no idea China has such a tropical paradise 😊
Deliberate misinformation by NZ MSM and NGOs on everything about Chinese .
And it is located in Hainan province
Hi from Napier. I have only been to Hong Kong and Shanghai (stopovers to Amsterdam). I would love to visit Hainan.
Odd isn't it !
Ever since the 2001 EP-3 incident ... the West (NZ & OZ included) anti-China propaganda made sure that Hainan got "shadow banned" .
@@zogzog1063 Ah Napier, nice one. I haven't been to Hainan since 2008 but it left a lasting impression
Lovely 😍 documentary that covers almost everything in one place. Thanks 😊 a lot, Yan. From Malaysia 🇲🇾
Excellent video. I lived in Whuzishan City 2002-3 and have many happy memories. I was laughing when you tried the binglang - a teacher from the university and I spent many pleasant evenings strolling around town exchanging Chinese and English conversation and chewing binglang. Much has changed and I struggled to recognise the small town of 10,000 people that I remember, but that still doesn't stop me thinking of returning for a visit one day...
Little Chinese Everywhere is BEST on youtube by far. Thank you and be safe.
Thank you for showing Hainan Island. My father was born there, he and his family migrated to Malaysia when he was twelve. He speak excellent English with a British accent. I in my turn migrate to England then Australia. I had been to Hainan Island and I love Sanya a tropical paradise. Thank you very much.
This ferry crossing is very advanced comfortable effective. Hainan is very beautiful thanks for sharing. Stay healthy safe yourself. God bless your good works.😂
The music you played over the fields touched my soul it sounds both Indian and Chinese ❤
Its indian flute music
@@arunbanotra2932 thanks
please share that flute music name
@@arunbanotra2932
This is not stupid forgetting things, this is a part of everyday life for some people including me.
Thanks, Yan, for showing us Hainan. My grandparents and parents were born there but I’ve not been there. Cheers from Australia
The flute being played in the background of drone images is mesmerizing.
China's cities and landscape are immense and so varied. Hainan must have incredible farms that produce fruit and grains, a sight unto itself. Can understand why people love visiting. Have traveled to China and desire another, longer visit--hope the politics calm down and more visitors can come to China. There is simply so much to see and experience. ❤😊
I am amazed she found her bag. Here in Brazil she wouldn't
even in america 😂😂
Thanks Yan for another lovely episode. I especially like the way you explained the facts about the consumption of betel nuts without being judgmental of the people who eat them. Don't worry about leaving your luggage at the gas station - I remember hearing about a man who accidently left his wife behind at one!
Hainan Island is so beautiful and friendly 💙
@MAGAChanelit’s safe
Little Yan, back on road, Drone Master ❤ Hainan has been open for tourists, and one of newest special business areas encouraging foreign entrepreneurs as well. Good work, as usual, stay safe 👍❤
Thank you for trying & explaining betel nut. I've read about it for years & know some people become very addicted, but I had no idea how it tastes. I greatly appreciate traveling with you, Yan.
Hainan island is so beautiful almost looks like home here in India because it's tropical. The lilting music matches the terain and people. Thank you for showing us the lovely ferry crossing and the island.😊
Back in 1965 when I visited my grandparents with my father, my grandma was eating betel nut using leaves just like what you shown on your video. I like the drone view, excellent vantage.
Fresh betel nut is less harmful than dried one, because the harmful components are less condensed, and your oral mucosa is hurt less due to its softer fiber. That's why the man said it is better to eat it raw. But still, it is not good for your health.
I'm moving to Haikou next week and got even more excited watching your video now! What a coincidence!
China has such diverse regions.
Travelling from one end of the country to another, you get to experience all possible climates!!
Milá Yan , srdečně Vás zdravím. Děkuji mnohokrát za další úžasné video , díky Vám sem si Čínu zamilovala , je to neskutečné co všechno zajímavého jste nám už ukázala, krasnou přírodu, milí lidé a ty různé tržiště, kde je vždy tolik krásné zeleniny a ovoce, váš milej komentář a příjemná hudba, jste opravdu nejlepší 👍👍👍 a taky odvážná, když dokážete všelico zajímavé ochutnat👍👍👍 Už se těším na další video, hodně zdravíčka a Boží ochrany,opatrujte se, mnoho pozdravu z Česka 🇨🇿❤️🍀🌹🙏🙋
What an expression little Chinese had for sometime during and after chewing betel nut.👌It was a betel nut vlog.
Background music from 12:10 was good.
Don't ride if feel drunk.
For your information, Hainan is visa free up to 30 days for passport holders of most developed countries in the world. You can visit the island without a visa.
It seems my favorite saying with you Yan, Beautiful Just! Not that drunk, I thought, altered state? A change of perception, not leaving you incompetent to drive your motorbike, perhaps elevated perception! The wash was just what your bike wanted! Drone flying, mesmeric Yan, you do yourself very proud. You should be very happy with your interactions, always upbeat.............
Oh love it! 欢迎来海南，虽然我人在悉尼，希望你喜欢海南，也希望我今年能回去看望家人.
Hainan island is the Hawaii of China. It's a beautiful island surrounded by sea with beautiful beaches and scenic views. It's one of the paradise on earth. Amazingly beautiful island. ❤❤❤
Tender coconut water the best natural water with medical quality.
So this place is almost like Kerala in landscape also
🏮🎊🎈'Xin Nian Kuai le'.The bells of the Spring Festival are ringing. 'WISHING EVERYONE HAS GOOD PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH '🎈🙏
Hi Yan, I've watched many of your videos and I do enjoying watching them. You’ve brought us many beautiful parts of China to us to our living rooms. Every one of your videos showed your journeys were very safe traveling alone while speaking to complete strangers. Did you ever encounter any hostile situations that you didn’t show us on your videos?
Everyone loves a tropical island
Yan, a lovely surprise. My ancestral home is in Hainan Island. My paternal great-grandpa was involved in betel nuts trading along Vietnam-Malay peninsular-Hainan route following the trade winds in the 1920s. Thank you for sharing your travels.
❤❤❤From Southern California, enjoying your Hainan trip!!
Texting from America. Wow!! Such beautiful country. Such beautiful area. I love China. I love Asian/Chinese ppl. So beautiful. My ancestry is Eastern Europe from Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Norwegian and Israel. But also love Asians so much. Slowly trying to learn a few Asian languages. Not easy but fun. Chinese, Korean, Tagalog and Vietnamese and my ancestral languages. Very interesting and fascinating. Thanks so much for posting your video travels. So amazing and excellent scenery. I would love to travel also but would need to be little better health. Also takes money. You are doing great, professional job. Be safe. How is Flo doing?
I wonder if we can get Yan and Elle together. Elle is a Russian blogger who does the same thing.
Typing
Thanks for sharing the video about this province, Hainan. I'm Cambodia, but my ancestors from my mother's side migrated from this province to Cambodia over 100 years ago.😊❤
Your videos are some o0f the best on TH-cam. I live in the US and as such have very little knowledge of China. You have a beautiful country and you have done an excellent job of showing it off. Thanks!
Good morning 🌅 from Pakistan ❤❤❤
Good evening Madam, it was a pity there was not much sunshine, this tropical Island Hainan would have shown of more beauty, it certainly was very pretty once you got out side the town,loved the drone shots, please be careful with that beatle Nut,it can be very dangerous, yes China has many Beautiful places,thank you for these wonderful videos, Regards & Best Wishes, Trevor.W.Bacelli. Biloela Qld Australia.👍🐕🐎🦄🦌🐂🐃🐄🐖🐗🐏🐑🐐🐨🐨🐨🐨🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦃🐔🐓🦆🦢🦋🏵🏵🏵🏵🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌻🌼🌴🍉🍋🍌🍍🥭🥥🥑
I think there was not much sunshine because it's still Winter time there . In the few coming weeks, Spring and Summer should have lots of sunshine.
@@chadwickyang7885 Yes Chadwick, I think you are correct, but it was raining in that area also, very pretty place ,regards Trevor.W.Bacelli.
Hainam is so beautiful
Thanks for showing me China, places I would never have a chance to see. I really appreciate your hard work, you are a very brave young Lady. Again, thanks for your hard work! ❤
Love this presentation! When leaving the gas station don't forget to take your motor bike with you.
Super exciting. My dad was born in central Hainan!
China is great and great country in world. It's next to me from Nepal.
I get rhe impression China is one of the busiest places on Earth. Always something going on everywhere.
I really enjoy listening to the conversations between you and the local, everyday people. Once again, awesome work. -j
I admired your courage as well as your art work. Following your adventure, I have learned (a little) how my ancestors have lived in China. They left their birthplace to immigrate in Vietnam in the beginning of 20th century!
Wow, what a wonderful looking island Hainan is. Varied landscapes, but, nicely lush with lots of greenery. I love being on ferries, gives you time to chill and relax. Again, the wonderful hospitality is evident and seeing your face when you tried the betel nut and tamardin, very funny!! Great that you try new food. It's amazing that something that is carcinogenic for the throat is so popular, yet doesn't really taste nice with the first bite. Crazy!! You were fortunate that you were able to recover your luggage. It is easy done. Might be an idea to have a checklist to make sure you have everything. Hainan looks like somewhere that I would be happy to retire to!! Have a lovely weekend Yan and see you on your next instalment. Thank you!!
Checklist, that is very inspiring
We've been to Hainan Island it's like Hawaii hot and humid but we love it anyway!
China's countryside is beautiful!
11:32 it's lime , I'm from kerala, India and my grandfather used to chew this. Kerala is also very tropical.
Hello from usa WOW so beautiful place I love your videos thank you for sharing it
A+++++++ video AGAIN. Your channel is my favorite. So well done. It would be great if you did a video showing the behind the scenes work to make a video. Editing, sound, etc. whats hard whats easy and what is fun. Again terrific work. Thank you.
Thankyou Yan...for your interesting videos...and your HONESTY !
Hi and blessings. I love your videos. I think china is so beautiful.
Thanks for sharing the beauty of the wonderful Hainan island! Great video👍 If you ride to Hainan next time, let me know - I can recommend you good spots and roads for riding.
It's an amazing adventure to Hainan. There is a wide variety of tropical fruits and abundance sunshine, which makes Hainan a sure must stayover holidays! Never heard of filling in such a long lottery ticket but what passion for the locals. Your travel reminds us that we are forgetful people, when we are too excited to see and explore new places. Thankfully the baggage is not lost! Travelling through the city and marketplaces makes me very happy. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Love all your videography and wait patiently for the next adventure to begin ❤❤
I'm so surprised that middle aged people in Hainan chew betel nut. To my knowledge, betel nut is popular in Myanmar. In Thailand it was popular in the past; now only some older persons chew betel nut. My grandmom also loves chewing betel nut; she is 93 years old.
Wow. It's so popular in Indonesia too😊My granparent planted it long time ago and now the tree is growing so high.
But, yeah nowdays it's rare to see younger people to chew the betel nut.
I've been to Hainan a couple of times. Happy to see another youtuber making content there. ❤🎉
Hainan is a very beautiful region !! Thank you for the tour.
Thank you! Beautiful and interesting video. Greetings from Poland. ❤
Wow good to see Paddy transplantation in this winter 😮.
Beautiful videos!! Always so entertaining and educational! I love the music that plays around minute 12: central Hainan, I would love to know which song is it.
Hi Yan….the bit about the betel nut chewing is really interesting. When I was a kid growing up in Asia, it was tthe Indian ladies who were the ones who eat them .They would then spit out a red liquid.. I used to find it a bit disgusting but apparently it was like a ritual which forms part of the betel nut eating culture. Also I was amazed by how cool you were about having left your luagge behind. I can assure you that in many countries you will never get it back. Looking forward to yout next upload.Take care with the bike.
In the US it'd be long gone unless you happen to have a nice person take ownership to protect your bag until you get back. I can't tell you how many times I've had to do this, the last time it happened I saw a woman drop her phone when she was chasing her child and another man approached me and told me it was his. I told him no it was not and gave it to the woman who dropped it.
The banana you eaten had medical quality . Here in Kerala- India it is the costliest banana.Also the betal leaf eating with arracknut is common in old people
Buenas como va Yan JieJie que alegria inmensa saber de ti, eres la guia turistica digital que me alegra el alma el espiritu el ser inmensas gracias. Bendiciones salud paz y exitos totales bien estar,para ti y todos los que tu quieres 🎉:)❤❤❤❤❤
I was in Sanya, Hainan a few years ago for the lunar new year, and I must say my experience was very different from yours. We flew from Hong Kong to Sanya and stayed at a very nice resort (Mandarin Oriental). The resort was amazing, beautiful, modern, great food, etc. We did a couple of day tours with local guides, but felt we were just being steered to places where we could buy stuff. I think your experience and way of traveling is superior, as you get to experience how the locals live. Great video, when I go back to Hainan, I will go to the rural center of the island and try to experience something closer to what you are. Thanks as always for sharing, truly one of the best things online.
When I'm in China, I don't go on guided tours. If one understand Chinese, still relatively easy to get around. Going around on your own is more liberating, discovering things on your own, making some mistakes along the way, but more rewarding.
Yes, the downside of doing a tour is that you'll end up in places where you spend more money for products you can get elsewhere and you won't get to experience the culture and the people.
I went on a cruise ship to Jamaica one time and I really disliked my experience because of it. You see a lot of poor and hungry kids selling fruit in the streets with no shoes and on the coast you see a lot of luxury hotels, clearly the locals are not seeing any of the benefits from tourism and it's disheartening.
Hainan looks so beautiful and relaxed- hope to get there sometime!
While watching I was thinking back in the Philippines chewing betel nuts were part of daily lives of our elders in our tribe until now. Then you mentioned it at 19:07. That makes me smile.😘
They also have the fermented rice with fish, the same with the “buro” of Pampanga. Filipinos and Chinese people esp in Hainan have more things in common.
Beautiful country, thanks.
Wow, Hainan is beautiful and tropical climate, the locals are friendly. Xie Xie for being so honest with what you do.. keep it up.. LETS GO!
That visit to the marketplace was a treat to my eyes. There were so many fruits that I used to enjoy as a kid especially the durians😋
Didn’t know that the chewing of betelnut is popular in Hainan. It’s considered a disgusting practice in many other arts of Asia due to the unhygienic practice of spitting in public🫣😣
中国地方很大的，尤其是有一些北方干燥的地方对呼吸道会有那样的 所以会比较容易吐痰 还有地方没有那么的发达吧，老一辈的中介要一个过渡，可能会注意这些
I used to watch different programs about China , very negative ones . Your vlogs are so refredhing . I see a very different China . Normal hardworking people . I would never have seen Your China through your eyes . . Thank you !
Probably paid by the commie government to promote a rosy picture of china. Not that nice, normal bits aren't real, but I think she will never visit a Uigher internment camp, ask how the tibetans feel about being overrun by china, or interview some old folks about how it felt to go through mao's horrors.
So true.
In our province Antique,Philippines.The dry betel nut and tobacco leaves are combined then chew it.
Brilliant scenic area, I like the markets & friendly people, lovely experience, take care bringing us fantastic videos, Thanks
dried beetle nut is eaten lot in india and pakistan it big big big market bigger than china the leaf u use is called paan and bettle nut is called chaliyah and white liquid is lime we also put other sweet stuff and brown paste just like white lime youtube paan eating
You have carefully selected all kinds of beautiful images once more. It looks beautiful there. Thanks for this report!!!
A wonderful continuing adventure enlightening us. Thank you. Cheers.
so nice to see you are growing so quickly in subscribers, you deserve it Yan!
11:16 This is very common in Kerala state in India. Search for " Murukkan". We use betel leaf, arecanut, shell lime (Calcium hydroxide) and tobacco leaf. The tobacco makes you feel drunk. You can chew it without tobacco also.
I am glad you tried the betel nut so I don't have to. I have eaten betel leaf with beef wrapped in it when we eat Vietnamese food. But I have not tried the nut.
Thank you for the video of Hainan. Nice place.
wow wow very beautiful village with best nepali fluid sound
please tell me the flute music name
Betel nut is also here in Papua province too
Greetings Miss Yan & Team, & Hainan. It is an awesome experience. Remind me of my Island on a smaller scale. Down memory lane. I really enjoy it. Can't wait for the coastal area. Thanks again. Have a great trip. Cheers.
Lovely countryside and people 👍
Wery nice videos always from you.
You earned my subscription .

In northern Vietnam, we also have quite a lot of elderly people eating betel like in Hainan, but young people do not because their mouths will be red and it is quite difficult to eat. This dish will gradually disappear in the future.
You show us that life is beautiful wherever you go always cherished those memories in your life not all are as fortunate to be where you are ❤
In singapore and malaysia , hainanese coffee and chicken rice is famous
Love your videos. So down to earth, no drama just the real lives.
Namste I am Rajesh from Ìndia have good day❤❤❤
Hai . Sr... iam from Andhra Pradesh....
Rohan from Karnataka, India...really enjoy China vlogs from Yan
Nihao little cute chinese watching your new video thanks for shared this video too much love and support ❤❤❤❤
@6:39 Bag left unattended for over 1 hour and nobody steal it. WOW! Can't imagine that in USA.
As usual, beautiful drone work and music, as well as educational. You were so cute trying to eat the betel nut.
I love all your videos but this one is my favorite! (for now!) Watching you try Betel nut was really entertaining! BTW, the white paste/powder is a chemical required to activate the drug in the betel nut.
woouwww....mencerahkan pemahamanku tentang negeri China..
Maturnuwuun mbaak..
Berkah Dalem..🙏🙏😊
There are a good number of Hainanese in Singapore. I am sure they will be keen to watch this vlog. Betel nut? Yes these were very popular with the older folks.
Phenomenal job on the video. Thank you for sharing this with me!!!
