A couple of friends and I visited the Bamboo Sea, a scenic spot just outside of Yibin, Sichuan, China. It's a fairly well-known place here in Sichuan, but not really anywhere else. It's a pretty local spot!
It's A LOT of bamboo all clumped together all over the mountains of Yibin - but it's not just that. There's climbing, hiking, (possibly) ancient temples / places of worship, waterfalls, and more! It's quite a sight to see, and it's not one to miss if you happen to be traveling in this neck of the woods! Sichuan's a pretty awesome place - I really hope you get the chance to visit someday!

Have you all ever been to Sichuan? If you came here, would you go to the Bamboo Sea? Ever been to a place like it before?
Austin In China .. Jiuzhaigo valley national park.. Huanglong. Must be the most beautiful place in Sichuan province. My wife is from Chengdu and we married there and went to that place for our honeymoon. Truly stunning. If you've never been Austin I highly recommend it. The airport is on top of a mountain and you land still in the clouds it's so high.
Yeah, I'd like to go, I guess.....but the hordes of tourists are really off-putting. Sure, it's beautiful, but tons of people shouting and taking selfies are going to be really annoying and could ruin the ambience of the place and the video. Same reason I haven't been to Emei Shan. I'll go eventually, though! I know it's a must-see destination in Sichuan! We planned to go a few months ago, but as soon as we planned to go, there was a huge earthquake and they closed down the entire area. We were planning to go that very next weekend....so.....yeah, haven't been yet hahaha
Mount Siguniang and Mount Gongga, not far away from Chengdu, no tons of people.
I haven't, but can't wait to visit! Only been to Shanghai, Hangzhou and Nanjing - didn't know about this place! Looks amazing!
Have you watched the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"? They are fighting and flying above bamboos. That is the place they shot the bamboo fighting.
It’s so beautiful there!
How and where do you find a driver? :-)
Very cool Austin. And no, to date I have not been to Sichuan - would love to visit someday though!
Thank you. Great channel! enjoyable and informative. China is so beautiful 💗
I really wanted to know what was in Man Gang
Awesome video Austin. Watched it all. Actually I've been wanting to do a Bamboo Forrest adventure I just haven't had the time. I'm so jealous now lol.
You really explore China a lot, you live like a native, amazing
Hey there boss just found your channel here about a week ago got a chance to watch a few of your older videos and most current ones thank you for sharing your experiences with everybody you don’t have to do it but you do you It’s takes the extra initiative to share and people like myself really appreciate it sincerely thank you
My pleasure!
Do more Traveling in China, i love these kinds of videos
The next 2-3 will be travel videos! :)
7:21 to your left are some fresh bamboo shoots, hack them down, peel away the outer layers, you have a tasty nutritious dish.
So beautiful!
That is awesome
I love 自贡, 2 of my favourite Sichuan dishes are from there.
Zigong's such a fun place! I really need to go back this summer and film some proper videos there. The videos I have of it now don't really do it justice
what we learned: Austin is the size of 2 chinese people and Yibin, Sichuan is very beautiful!!!
YES, bamboo, bamboo, bamboo!!! One of the fastest growth and environment friend plant in the planet.
竹子是世界上生长最快的植物之一，最好的环保植物。可以取代木，做各种建筑材料。
I'm moving to Yibin in a month as an exchange student. I'm just watching random videos on it, looks nice tho
果然是蜀南竹海. Lol, 我13年前去过那里。 不知道你在那边有没有尝试次全竹宴？

I just came back from there last week, the all bamboo feast was fantastic.
i come back to sichuan ,maybe i will meet you on bus !
Damn, looks great
mr austin . i am thinking to go there after two weeks with my girlfriend so i was searching aboit the city and i found your video . thank you so much . but i still have a few questions for you.
1-how much almost do i need for a trip for two days?
.transportation,hotel,food. there.. you know what i mean .
2 is there a hotels near to the bamboo place or in the place it slef ?
i want you to tell me almost how much RMB do i need to spend there . i am living in chengdu right now.
From Xinnanmen Station to the Bamboo Sea, it's 115 yuan. Hotel...about 100/night in the sea itself. Tickets, 110 each (students 50% off to 55 yuan). Food....depends what you eat, but about Chengdu prices, maybe a bit more expensive. Drivers wildly vary, depending on how good you are at bargaining. If you take 2,000, it'll be more than enough and you'll live like kings hahaha 1,000 at a minimum, and probably 1,500 probably would be a happy medium for two people. Altogether not the cheapest place, but I enjoyed it!
Austin In China thank you so much for this details. but could you give me a name of a good hotel near to the bamboo place .or the name of the place that you stay in there ? because i dont want to be far from the visitors places.
I don't remember, sorry. There are people just inside the main gate of the bamboo sea advertising places to stay. As you drive around, you'll see plenty of places to stay as well - lodging won't be an issue
Austin In China ok. thanks alot mr austin your chanel is very helpful .
so beautiful. forest ocean. what you think the real forest ration in the whole Sichuan or China? 70 percent in Sichuan 40 percent in China? I do not know. In Finland we could not see this kind of forest ocean , cause in Finland forest , mostly owned by individuls, so they cut them to sell to the world, but they managed it well , so from the plane , you can see areas with huge amount of very very very small trees to areas with big trees wating to be cut. Cause after we cut big trees, we grow very tiny trees immediately. Plus mostly in Finland it is plain, we do not have moutations, only some hills .
Is bamboo edible when they are young stalks?
Yep!
more and more vids recently？👍
It seems so! :)
Austin, how are things with your wife?
Things are good! :)
It seems you've added those autocorrection audio effects, if I had to guess from fcpx. Don't know why they offer those, because they only make things much worse, more alien sounding.
It actually make things much better if you know what you're doing. I forgot my camera charger, so I had to use my slightly broken phone to film this video :( :( But it'll be back to normal in the next video!! Believe it or not, the audio in this is MUCH better than what it was when I imported it into FCPX hahaha
Just to emphasize - the normal camera will be back for the next video!
Austin pause at 3.33. Do you know what the inverted Nazi sign is and it's origins? I've seen it a few times now.. I'm guessing it's about Buddha.
It's an ancient symbol that was co-opted by the Nazis: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#Historical_use
Nice video. How about your bilibili videos?
Meh, don't really care - Bilibili sucks
But I'm glad you liked the video! Cheers, bud! :)
Do you take extra vaccines when you are travelling around? What about malaria pills
No - no need for that stuff. The only vaccine needed for China is typhoid (one of the hepatitis ones is recommended as well, I think), and malaria is a non-issue unless you go DEEP into Yunnan province in the summer.
Yibin isn’t exactly a “hidden” gem, it has been relying on travel industry for a couple of years now
Yes, definitely not a hidden gem among Sichuanese locals and people in SW China in general, but when you consider the world at large, nobody's ever heard of Yibin, and it's reduced to a small blurb in guidebooks, if it's even included. Even TH-cam - the biggest video-sharing site in the world - has very few videos actually thoroughly covering it. I've got the 5th highest view count of all time on the search term, and the video's only been out 12 hours. Because of that, I feel like among foreign tourists, it could be considered a hidden gem, but yeah, definitely not among the locals
Hi
You really got a bad case of "Donald Duck" influenza LOL.
I had to use the english subtitles this time to be able to understand what you say.
Yes, I know - I had another camera with a better mic on this trip, but I forgot to bring the charger, so I was stuck with a busted phone.....the next videos will be on the other camera!! Better audio :)

Wow the audio is horrible. You might want to invest in a better mic...
Yes, I know - I had another camera with a better mic on this trip, but I forgot to bring the charger, so I was stuck with a busted phone.....the next videos will be on the other camera!! Better audio :)
Audio was awful but loved the views.
Yes, I totally agree.....I really messed up on that trip by not bringing my camera charger, so I had to go with my busted phone. However, I can tell you that on the next video, the audio's MUCH better! haha
