China's BEST Province To Visit - Yunnan I S2, EP117

Yunnan, China’s most diverse province, is a land of breathtaking contrasts—where snow-capped Himalayan peaks give way to lush jungles, and ancient cultures thrive amidst modern vibrance. Nestled in the country’s southwest, Yunnan is home to 26 of China’s 56 ethnic groups, each with its own language, traditions, and festivals. The result is a cultural mosaic unlike anywhere else in the country.
I began my journey in Yanjin, famously known as the "narrowest city in the world," before making my way to Jianshui, one of Yunnan's many vibrant Muslim communities. From there, I traveled south to the borders of Vietnam and Myanmar, where the landscapes and cultures blend seamlessly with those of the neighboring countries. Continuing my adventure, I explored the birthplace of tea before heading northwest through Shangri-La, gradually approaching the edge of the Tibet Autonomous Region.
Join me on this epic trip through China's most beautiful province 🎬

Get well soon Yan, but don't push yourself too hard! Thanks for keeping on sharing more of China with us 😊

Greetings from Singapore to you, my favorite little Chinese guide 😊. My friends and I drove around Yunnan for a month 3 weeks ago and still find your videos to be so informative and enjoyable. Thank you again for your efforts and sharing your beautiful country with the rest of us. Get well soon.

Kudos to you for using the leg break to make a new type of series, instead of just giving up!

During the Japanese invasion my mother and her dad had to escape to Kumming from Caton. She was around ten years old but had fond memories of Yunnam. She is long passed but your videos bring back memories of what she use to describe. I was always amazed to her her tastes for coffee and tea which she acquired during her stay there. She married my dad and emigrated to South America, hopefully I can visit this magnificent place.

The diversity of China is amazing. The languages, clothing and buildingsq are very different but the humanity is universal.

Watching your videos are heart-stoppers and spiritual boosters for China. Cheers from Edmonton A

Just found your channel recently and have been loving watching your journeys and celebration of China! My wife, son and I are visiting Yunnan for the first time in a month, so this is fabulous timing. Feel better soon.

I visited Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri La and Balagezong in November 2024. It was a fantastic trip. Loved every moment of it. Get well soon, Yan.

Fascinating! I've never been to China but would sure love to. I'm from California USA. 😊

These review style videos of China Provences are so perfect for those interested in learning and traveling around China. Thank you for sharing your experiences with all the lovely people you met along the way

Village people are so friendly and lively . This region is a perfect example of unity among cultural and ethnic diversity. All the best from India.

[psoon]

Wow! No kidding. You do have lots more videos, especially drone aerial shots to share with us. I was afraid that many were sold off as stock footage. Looking forward to more revelations of your beautiful country.
Hope that the recent earthquake didn’t cause any aftershocks or tremors in the Yunnan area. Best wishes and a speedy recovery from your injury……from Vancouver, Canada🇨🇦
