10 Best Places to Visit in China - Travel Video
Check out all the places seen in this video:
China, the gateway to East Asia, is a fascinating country. It is an ancient civilization that gave the world Peking Man, gunpowder and noodles. Visitors making their first trip to China usually stick to the larger cities. More experienced visitors to the Middle Kingdom will strike out in other directions, where traveling may be a bit more frustrating because of the language barrier, but most definitely doable for independent travelers. Here’s a look at the best places to visit in China:
Top 10 Villages to Visit in China - Historic Towns and Countryside (Travel Video)
Welcome to China’s villages and historic towns. Often touted for its ever changing city skylines, China’s countryside shows a very different side of the country. From beautiful riverside villages to snow covered mountain towns. From mysterious tulou (earthen buildings) to awe-inspiring rice terraces. Traveling rural China can be an eye-opening experience.
I spent more than 18 months in China, spread over the course of a decade and a half. In the last years, I started filming the places that I traveled to, using regular cameras and drones. All footage in this travel video is shot by myself between 2010 and 2019.

Here’s a brief overview of the content in this video:
We start off this journey in Yuanyang, a spectacular mountain region where you can find some of the world’s most jaw-dropping rice terraces. Staying with local families is a great way to explore the area, filled with breathtaking landscapes and friendly villages.
Xuexiang is located in the North of China, and is mostly known for its extreme Winter weather, with freezing temperatures and layers of snow. It’s a popular tourist attraction and beautiful sight. The ‘tulou’ buildings in Fujian province are the next destination. These structures were used by the local Hakka people as defense against rivaling communities and bandits. While many still function as homes, some are now used as restaurants and hotels for tourists.
Lijiang is one of China’s most beautiful historic towns, with classic architecture and narrow lanes that can be explored for days. Nearby Dali is worth a visit for its incredible Three Pagodas and Buddhist temple. We travel onwards to Xiahe, a tranquil town just outside Tibet proper. Join monks and pilgrims on traditional koras, and soke up Tibetan culture.
Yangshuo, on the banks of the Li River, might be one of China’s most famous villages, surrounded by mesmerizing limestone hills and mountains. It also provides a good insight into farming life in the country (you can rent bicycles and motorcycles for nice day trips). Shaoshan is a somewhat odd place. It’s the birthplace of Mao Zedong, regarded as the founder of the People’s Republic. The village is a popular stop on the ‘Red Tourism’ trail, a government propaganda campaign.
Fenghuang is a stunning ancient village in the same Hunan province, with incredible architecture, including stone bridges and towers, stilt houses, and a city wall. The next spot on my list is Zhujiajao a popular ‘water town’, not far from Shanghai.
We finish this tour in Pingyao, perhaps the best preserved walled town (or small city) in the country. It used to be an important center of trade and finance, and it’s fascinating to walk the quiet neighborhoods and intriguing alleyways.

Why foreigners should visit Quanzhou, a rarely visited but totally underrated city! EP15, S2
I stayed in Quanzhou for quite some time, and it quickly became one of my favorite cities in China.
Foreign tourists are rare, but Quanzhou is a hidden gem. And I have enough reasons to say that. As the birth place of Fujianese culture and the first Chinese trade ports that opened up to the outside world Quanzhou is the place to find a huge diversity in Fujian Province:
⭕️ Kong Fu and Shaolin Temple
⭕️ Beautifully preserved historical city quarter (UNESCO sites!)
⭕️ Great food, laid back, and stunning landscape
⭕️ Incredibly diverse religion, and you can find temples, mosques, churches...
and the list goes on...
In short, it is a super laid-back city with modern charm, and an ancient soul!
Join me on this adventure :)

Ep10【Fujian Province】Nanping City
China's Ancient City Fuzhou Fujian
We spend the day touring around Fuzhou city and end up in the Ancient City area. With 2000 years of history this place was an interesting site to see. Come join Weifang and I on this little adventure.
In 2011 my first grandchild was born with a rare and complex genetic condition called Prader Willi Syndrome. This condition comes with many symptoms, the most prevalent being that she is plagued to feel hungry constantly. Although she is living a life of continued challenges associated with her condition, she is an amazing little girl who has and continues to face everyday with a smile and determination to do her best. My daughter Miranda has set up a fundraising page in support of the Foundation of Prader-Willi Research Canada whose mission is to eliminate the challenges of Prader Willi Syndrome through the advancement of Research. I would greatly appreciate if you would show them some support in their fundraising efforts. Your donations will help make a difference in my granddaughter Emelyn’s life. She is a special little girl.
Thank you!

Places to visit in China,Fuzhou
I've covered the places to visit in fuzhou,fujian,China.Welcome to Fuzhou.
I've stayed in fuzhuo around one year if you need any kind of information about anything of here feel free to connect with me.
Insta :
Fuzhou's people and places are really cool. In my opinion it's really underrated place. The ancient cultural places, incredible architecture, mountains and the natural view will make you amazed.
And also there are many more places to see here. But for the reason of COVID 19 I couldn't go there. I just covered places which are inside of fuzhou main city area.
Here is some information and tips for all the places.You can search these names in Google map or in 百度地图 map and you will easily find the way.
Shangxiahang 上下杭 :
This place has two types of beauty. One in daytime if you want to feel the ancient city of China, historical architect then this is the place.And another In the night time.Smokey river, light and that ancient things combination really creates a different feeling. Try to visit the place in weekends so that you will have a chance to get cultural music and functions.
Preferable Transportation (PT) :
Cycle,Bus,Taxi(serial maintained as per advantage)
Jinjishan park 金鸡山公园 :
Perfect place for having a afternoon walk. There is a cafe at the top. Where you can have Chinese traditional tea with a great view.
PT : Bus,Cycle,Taxi
Haixia Olympic Center 海峡奥林匹克中心 :
Also you can say Fuzhou Strait Olympic center. A place with cool modern architecture. Must enjoy the night view also. And don't forget to come back before 9.00 pm if you are using Bus as yours transportation. Cause after 9.00 pm you will seldomly get busses there.
PT : Taxi,Bus, Cycle
Fuzhou Flower Garden 福州花海公园 :
Depending on seasons this place looks changes.
The Minjiang river, background Gushan mountain and thousands fo flowers collection will must impress you. Go here at afternoon time and you will see lots of kids are enjoying their pleasure time with their grandparents and parents. Also the night city light reflection on Minjiang River will be your memorable time.
PT : Bus,Cycle,Taxi
Fuzhuo Strait Culture Art center 福州海峡文化艺术中心 :
It's a recent project which has finished in 2018. The modern architectural view will make you mesmerised. Sometimes concert and function happens here. If you are lucky enough to get one then enjoy the show.
PT : Taxi,Bus,Cycle
China Tower 罗星塔 :
It's mainly a recent historical place. And if you have interest about ships,sailors then this is a must visit place. You can found details about this place in video. It's around 23 km away from the City center. But it's really worth going.Minjiang river has become wider there. You will really enjoy the port view.
PT : Taxi,Bus,Cycle
Fuzhuo national forest park 福州森林公园 :
Fuzhou is known as the city of banyans.
And world's most oldest banyan tree is here.Which age is more than 900 years.This place really big. You can also go their for hiking. You will found beautiful fountain and mountain. But remember to bring enough food and water with you. Or you can also buy from there.
PT : Bus,Taxi
West lake park 西湖公园 :
I think this is the second most popular spot in fuzhou. Day time or night time, whenever you want you can go there. It's near of Sanfang Qixiang and there are also two-three places attached with this place including Fuzhou Museum and Panda World.If you have interest in china's history,dynasties and cultures then must visit the museum.During month of November if you come here you will be surprised with a lots of flowers collection.
PT : Bus,Cycle,Taxi
OutletsTime 天泽奥莱时代 :
You will wonder is that a part of Europe. Actually it's a shopping mall.But the way it's construction has been done, it's really seems like a Europe's street. So you can have a visit,do some shopping and also you will be able to get a little feeling of euro trip. One of my personal favorite shot taken here.
PT : Taxi,Bus
Guling 鼓岭 :
Mountains,clouds and the nature view will impress you.
PT : Taxi,Bus
Fudao 福道 : A sky walk way on mountains. Such an amazing place to spend some time. Night view also awesome. One side city and another side mountains. Two things combination will give a cool experience.
PT : Bus,Bicycle,Car

I visited China's ENORMOUS Communal Home with 500+ Residents! | Fujian, China E4
This lady showed me around her house!
The Tulou is a big communal housing structure located in Fujian, China, primarily habitated by the Hakka people.
There are two main districts with Tulou, Yongding and Nanjing.
There are over 20,000 Tulou buildings in Yongding alone, and today we visit 2 of them.
One of the Tulou we visit is a UNESCO Heritage site, and the other is one we found that locals live in while driving around exploring a village.
While I filmed this during my Fujian trip, I want to focus on showing the Tulou to you guys in this video, rather than making it another interaction-focused travel video. There’s too much specific interesting information to cover here.
