German drives in China for the FIRST TIME

Derk got his Chinese drivers licence so we decided to take a road trip to Changbaishan 长白山 (a famous mountain about 4-5 hour drive away). Follow along on this adventure!

I am a Chinese, and I want to tell you that China has many, many very beautiful places. If you travel by car, I highly recommend you to go to the western part of China, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and of course Yunnan, where the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful. .

The hotel reception asked you guys to leave probably based on information they retrieved from some WeChat groups(you know sometimes inaccurate or rumor spread by boring people). People get so sensitive during that zero covid period that no one wants to get quarantined. Anyway, these are all past tense rn, stay safe Amy!

What a beautiful lake ! China is so diverse !
One can criticise China all he wants how straight they deal with Covid. China has a very responsible govt. Every life matters. I have utmost respect how they come up with all those phone apps and assistance to inform citizens current situations. Bravo!

WHAT?! The rental for a day in China is an hour in SINGAPORE MINDBLOWN! Ah gosh, you're living the life of my dream! To work in a huge country where I can do road trip over the weekend... 😍

About the "hiking trail" you mentioned at 8:25, I might give you some reasons why we have such thing. Most of us Chinese don't have the concept of "hiking equipments", and those equipments are not cheap for most of us. We build this kind of trails at most of the famous scenery spots to let all the tourists enjoy it. On the other hand, it would protect the local enviroment since everyone walks on a trail rather than directly on earth.

You are lucky with the weather. It's breathtaking. Yes, hiking in touristy areas in China is quite a different experience. Local governments want to make the areas more accessible to attract more visitors. Therefore all the convenient infrastructures such as lifts/stairs built to make the visit less "strenuous".

It seems that Mr. Derk has a quick and smooth progress on obtaining a driver’s license, since he worked so hard on it.
Moreover, it is a splendid idea for him to drive to the mountains and see the Alpine Lake with you, Miss Amy, as the weather looks suitable to see the scenery.

We quietly drove to the North Korean border and were sent back to Changchun overnight. If amy uses this title, the audience will definitely double.😆

The hot spring in the snow is amazing!

You look good when you're with him. I can tell you take good care of yourself better when you're with him.

What a pleasant travel blog this time! It would be better if the hotel allowed you guys to sleep the entire night. It's amazing that you guys saw the lake so easily. I know people waited three days and had no luck. A minor thing is that Derk looked fatigue.

Thank you for this very personal look at your casual weekend trip. Although nothing went as planned you managed to produce a fairly entertaining video. Cheers to that!

[hexes_rky]

I went there twice and i never got the chance to see the lake. All covered in clouds. Thanks for the video now i know i need to go there third time next spring.

[xiaotianwang]

thanks Amy for always bring happiness to us, even in the negative situation. stay positive!

[hon]

I so happy that I am the first one, and I love you couple so so much. Hope you can create more lovely videos. 🥰🥰🥰

Another fascinating and entertaining episode ! What a road trip - the hours of driving only to be followed by the long bus rides. Then, getting " kicked out " from the hotel. You two must have been exhausted.
Much appreciation for sharing this experience !

China doesn't have that hiking culture like western countries. But yes, you can still find much wild hiking tracks there since China has 70% of its landscapes are mountains. Yunnan, Gansu and Sichuan have some very decent and stunning hiking routes.

It's rare to see clear blue sky on the top of Changbai mountain. Lucky you two

[MultiCklee]

both of you are a great couple...amy being chirpy and bubbly whilst the boyfriend is calm and collected....
