A glimpse of China – a 1 minute time-lapse film

With Hannah and Ben ... "So happy we decided to make a quick stop in Shaxi on our way from Dali to Lijiang. This small mountain village is absolutely gorgeous. There are so many fun shops, restaurants, and sites to see. If you are a fan of C-dramas, then you can't miss all the sites from the show Meet Yourself, starring Li Xian and Liu Yifei. The best way to get to Shaxi is by private car. If you don't know how to hire a car using Chinese apps, there are a lot of people offering driving services from Dali and Lijiang. We asked at our homestay in Dali and they gave us several recommendations. You can visit most of the old town in just one day but staying the night is recommended." With JHMedium ... "Halfway between Dali and Lijiang lies an ancient town that is more intimate, artistic, and far less commercialized than those two cities. This is Shaxi. Tucked away in Jianchuan County, Shaxi Ancient Town is beloved by artists and craftsmen from all over China but is still relatively unknown to international visitors. I can confidently say this town is a must-visit in Yunnan. We'll experience the local tie-dyeing, learn about the history of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and explore the arts and crafts of this town. Join us on our trip to this charming little gem."

With Gaukhar Bulatova ... Bonus film - Night walk in Yan'An with Walk East YT comment : Max, this was another fantastic video. I have heard of Yan"an and now I have seen it with you. The place is so beautiful, clean and modern. I love the surrounding hills and the pagoda on top. The food stalls look so delicious. This 4th tier city shows the incredible progress China has made in providing a great place for all its citizens to live in. Keep up with the excellent work.

A beautiful film ... The LongSheng (Dragon's Backbone) rice terraces 龙胜梯田 cover an area of around 65 square kilometers (about 16,000 acres) in GuangXi province. Construction of the terraces began during the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368), most extensively around 500 years ago during the Ming dynasty, and continues today. The rice terraces stand as testament to the wisdom and strength of the Zhuang and Yao ethnic minorities who form the majority of the locals here. LongJi (the Dragon's Backbone) Mountain is located in LongSheng County, about 100 km (2 hours drive) from GuiLin. The most famous of the rice terrace areas here are the Ping'An and JinKeng rice terraces. The terraced fields are constructed from riversides up to the mountain tops, at elevations of 300 meters (1,000 feet) to 1,100 meters (3,600 feet). A typical incline is 30 to 35 degrees. This area is also noted for its LongJi tea and wine. Best time to visit : May to mid-October (ideally, June to September).
