绝对推荐云南省 —— 大理和丽江，中国最棒的地方之一

@kenford3738
I was there in 2014. The smog was really bad. I hope better emission controls are in place and it has cleared up.
我2014年去过。雾霾确实很严重。希望现在有了更好的排放控制，情况已经好转了。

@ThisCatIsASilverCat
@kenford3738 it absolutely has. Back in 2014 2015 I definitely remember the thick fog in my city, and now it’s just clear blue skies the entire way
@kenford3738 绝对改善了。我确实记得2014、2015年城市里有厚厚的雾霾，而现在一路都是晴朗的蓝天。

@YangZhang-ww6dv
@kenford3738 That was more than 10 years ago. China has transformed into another level!
@kenford3738 那是十几年前的事了。中国已经变得完全不一样了！

@Sense-luo
I recommend you to go to a small city in China, Huangshan City, Anhui Province, where there are magnificent Huangshan scenery, Huizhou ancient buildings with white walls and gray tiles, and local specialties are very beautiful. I recommend China to go in November and autumn, which is really perfect.
我建议你去中国的一个小城市——安徽省黄山市，那里有壮丽的黄山风景、徽州古建筑白墙灰瓦，当地特产也很不错。我推荐在十一月和秋季去中国，真的很完美。

@user-r7c2t
@mikeandashley, China is so diverse, so each province is unique and worth visiting, that being said, I’d definitely recommend Shanxi Province(ancient relics), xinjinag Autonomous region, Yunnan Province, Guizhou Province and Inner Mongolia for your next r
@mikeandashley，中国太多样化了，每个省都独特且值得一游。我肯定会推荐山西省（古遗址）、新疆自治区、云南省、贵州省和内蒙古作为你们下次的行程。

@richc47us
For now I'll keep this short...when I retired at 64 I moved to China and lived there for nearly 10 years....Great expereinces.
先说这么多……我64岁退休后搬到中国，几乎在那里住了10年……很棒的经历。

@LakotaCat
Congrats. I want to go live there. In Chengdu specifically. For a month so I can explore the longest bike path in the world, the amazing tianfu parkway. To test it out. And if I really love it the way I think I'm going to then I am going to see if I can move there. I can see retiring, riding my bicycle in China, living happily riding my bike and never having any worry about a freaking car again.
恭喜。我也想去那里生活，特别是去成都。住一个月，去试试世界最长的自行车道——惊人的天府绿道。试试看。如果我真像想的那样喜欢那里，我会考虑是否能搬过去。我能想象退休后在中国骑自行车、快乐生活，再也不用为汽车烦恼。

@mikeandashley
Wow, that’s amazing to hear! Thank you for watching.
哇，听到这真令人高兴！谢谢你们观看。

@denisezink386
Can you please share how you did that? I’ve heard it’s close to impossible to immigrate to China for foreigners?
你能分享一下你们是怎么做到的吗？我听说外国人移民到中国几乎不可能？

@Cccccccaleb
@denisezink386 I'm equally curious: unless they marry a Chinese person, it's almost impossible for them to obtain permanent residency, so how do they manage to stay in China for an extended period, let alone retire there?
@denisezink386 我也很好奇：除非他们和中国人结婚，否则几乎不可能获得永久居留权，那他们怎么能长期留在中国，甚至退休在那里呢？

@denisezink386
@Cccccccaleb I know.. it would have been a great place to retire if we could
@Cccccccaleb 我知道……如果能去那儿，会是个退休的好地方。

@reneemclaughlin3598
100% agree with your video. I was there for 3 weeks and I was blown away!
完全同意你的视频。我在那里呆了三周，惊艳极了！

@mikeandashley
Right?! We had seen videos and so on about the bigger cities, but like, every city we visited was next level. Such an amazing country.
Thanks for watching! ☺️
是吧？！我们确实看过关于大城市的视频，但我们访问的每个城市都超出预期。真是个了不起的国家。谢谢观看！☺️

@michaeljiang960
Ashley smile is contagious. I smile every time she smiles.
阿什莉的笑容有传染力。每次她笑我也会跟着笑。

@yudonghui
Ashley's crying is also moving. Watch her video in Nanjing.
阿什莉哭的时候也很感动。去看她在南京的视频吧。

@power19997
Mike looks very spirited after shaving, and Ashley is truly beautiful. Welcome back to China!
麦克刮了胡子后看起来精神焕发，阿什莉真的很美。欢迎回到中国！

@dustyacer
i legit wouldnt recognize mike anymore without his cap and mustache.
真的没了帽子和胡子我都认不出麦克了。

@GoddyGoodman
I like beard Mike，LoL. He looks like warm hearted next door neighbour， uncle Mike.
我喜欢有胡子的麦克，哈哈。他看起来像隔壁热心的邻居大叔，叔叔麦克。

@yunhao776
I'm Chinese and I live in New York with my family. The United States and China are two very great countries, and if the two countries cooperate deeply, they can really solve many problems. I really hate it when politicians sow discord between the two countries for their own vote interests. Thank you for your video, which has enabled the people of the two countries to feel each other's kindness.
我是中国人，和家人住在纽约。美国和中国都是很棒的国家，如果两国深度合作，确实能解决许多问题。我非常讨厌政客为选票利益挑拨两国关系。感谢你们的视频，让两国人民感受到彼此的善意。

@kobe4344
Oh! I was just a US ambassador to China! ❤love the people/culture
哦！我曾是美国驻华大使！ ❤爱这里的人和文化

@mikeandashley
⁠ @kobe4344 That’s so cool! How does one become an ambassador?
@kobe4344 真棒！当大使是怎么做到的呢？

@TheAffiliater
In Theory you are Correct , in Reality the Leadership in Many many countries is just downright Evil, run by leaders and Politicians who just don’t care about anything at all and are so utterly incompetent at everything that they could not get any other kind of job. The Proof is obvious, just look at the world, it never been so bad not for a thousand years.
理论上你是对的，但现实中许多国家的领导层实在太糟糕了，由一些根本不关心任何事且在各方面都极其无能的领导和政客掌权，他们根本无法胜任其他任何工作。证据显而易见，只要看看这个世界，千年来都没这么糟。

@NewportRI65
Yeah, imagine what they could do for the USA with the way they’re infrastructure is in ours. Looks like 1950.
是啊，想象一下如果他们把那种基础设施建到我们国家会怎样。我们现在看起来像1950年代一样。

@JessicaSinclairLivingInChina
I am American and i live in Chengdu China.

@enpappa
Hello neighbor. I live in Chengdu too :)
你好邻居。我也住在成都 :)

@stanleyshui5914
wow, how long have you been to the city?
哇，你们在那个城市待了多久？

@ericliume
Some tips, 1) It is a good idea to have some yougurt during or after a spicy meal. It reliefs the hottness quickly. 2) I actually recommend eSIM over VPN. With an eSim, it is much less expensive, stable and all foreign Apps work. 3) In case you experience some health issues, such as catching a cold, you can easily visit local pharmacies with a big green scrossing sign. They have over the counter medicines which are easy to buy. 4) In any case, if you need some help, feel free to ask around, especially policemen, young students, or any officials.
一些小建议：1）吃辣的时候或之后吃点酸奶是个好主意，它能很快缓解辣感。2）我推荐使用eSIM胜过VPN。用eSIM花费更少、更稳定，且所有外国应用都能用。3）如果你遇到健康问题，比如感冒，可以很方便地去有大绿十字标志的当地药店，那里有很多非处方药，容易买到。4）无论如何，如果你需要帮助，随时可以问周围的人，尤其是警察、年轻学生或各类工作人员。

@yglow-o2p
The scenery in China is truly breathtaking; after watching this blogger's video, I feel that experiencing it firsthand would definitely be worthwhile.
中国的风景确实令人屏息。看了这位博主的视频后，我觉得亲自去体验绝对值得。

@mikeandashley
China is next level. So much to see and experience. It's 100% worthwhile.
中国是另一个层次。太多值得看的和体验的，绝对值得一去。

@constantineding8700
Mike without a mustache? It took me three seconds to realize that and I had to roll back to check it.
麦克没有胡子？我花了三秒才反应过来，还得回放确认。

@XLeon_S_KennedyX
Hope you guys can visit other more parts of China as it has alot more to offer. Love to see your future vlogs in China.
希望你们能去中国的更多地方，中国还有很多值得发掘的。我期待看到你们未来在中国的vlog。

@marvinw.4539
First and foremost, thank you for sharing this video and creating a platform for open conversation.
首先，感谢你分享这个视频并搭建了一个开放讨论的平台。

As a Chinese Singaporean, I’d like to recount my pilgrimage to Guangzhou, China, in 2009/2010 to reconnect with my ancestral roots. At the time, security cameras were far less prent—both in cities and rural areas—so I often relied on the guidance of strangers. What struck me most was the overwhelming kindness I encountered. Locals not only offered directions but frequently went out of their way to walk me to destinations, and some even invited me into their homes for meals. Throughout my journey, I never once felt unsafe or unwelcome.
作为一名新加坡华人，我想回忆一下2009/2010年去广州寻根的经历。那时，无论城市还是乡村，监控摄像头都远没有现在普遍，所以我常常依靠陌生人的指引。令我印象最深的是我遇到的压倒性善意。当地人不仅会指路，常常还会特意陪我走到目的地，有些人甚至邀请我到家里吃饭。在整个旅程中，我从未感到不安全或不受欢迎。

I share this not to focus on my own experience, but to challenge the narrative that China’s streets are inherently “unsafe.” Such portrayals, I believe, are often exaggerated, biased, and disconnected from the reality I witnessed.
我分享这些并不是为了突出个人经验，而是想质疑那种认为中国街道天生“不安全”的叙事。我认为那类描绘往往夸大、带偏见，与我所见的现实脱节。

Chinese culture is deeply influenced by Confucian values, embodied in the saying: “有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎” (“Is it not a joy to welcome friends from afar?”). This spirit of hospitality resonated in every interaction I had.
中国文化深受儒家价值观影响，体现在“有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎”这句古语中。这种好客精神在我所有的互动中都有体现。

As a fellow descendant of Chinese heritage, I echo this sentiment wholeheartedly: Welcome to China! May your travels be safe, enriching, and filled with the same warmth I was fortunate to experience.
作为同是华裔的后代，我由衷地呼应这种情感：欢迎来到中国！愿你们的旅程安全、充实，并充满我有幸体验到的那份温暖。

@TeensRoom-c9
Thanks for sharing ❤ things we must know about China have a nice weekend ❤
谢谢分享 ❤ 关于中国我们必知的事 祝你周末愉快 ❤

@100-q8v
Ashley's laughter is infectious!
Menu without a picture, just point at the dishes that your fellow patrons are eating in the same restaurant (Well accepted, when people see you as a foreigner. Approach younger folks for translation)
Use A Map, which is better than Google Maps and is accurate and versatile. It can even alx you to the closure of some attractions to avoid disappointment
Dian ping (Chinese version of Yelp) can be set in English in the settings. But the articles that are written by individuals could be a challenge
阿什莉的笑声很有感染力！
1）如果菜单没有图片，就指着同一餐厅里别人吃的菜点（当人们把你看作外国人时，这种做法被广泛接受。可以找年轻人帮忙翻译）。
2）使用 AMap（高德地图），比 Google Maps 更好，准确且多功能。它甚至可以提醒某些景点关闭，避免失望。
3）大众点评（Dianping）可以在设置中切换到英文。但个人写的点评文章有时可能比较难懂。

@whitewolfkong
Long-awaited video. Mike looks so young without mustache. Looks good mate
久违的视频。麦克没了胡子看起来好年轻。看起来不错，伙计

Thanks! ☺️ We’re not from there, we just moved there for work in 2019. It’s beautiful and we loved it. ️
谢谢！☺️ 我们不是来自那里，只是在2019年为工作搬去那儿。 那里很美，我们很喜欢。️

@risingsign1222
I lived in Anchorage for four years! I was on the fence about visiting China, but I have definitely added it to my bucket list after watching your video!❤
我在安克雷奇住过四年！我之前对去中国有点犹豫，但看了你们的视频后，我绝对把它加入了愿望清单！❤

我真的希望12月能去中国，我想去重庆、上海、成都、北京和深圳，祝旅途美好，谢谢你们做这个视频

@venn345dsfjg
One thing that makes China very powerful in the world is that compared with any other country in the world, the products and services you get at the same price are on another level, including industrial products, food, rent, fresh food everywhere in supermarkets, and cheap infrastructure. This is very friendly to those who like economical travel. In addition, China is a large place, and you can't go around it all. Each region has different characteristics, especially away from the first and second tier cities. The cost of fresh food and rent is incredible, and the quality is still very good. However, China's smoking situation is indeed a challenge for foreigners. China has currently opened a visa-free policy to many countries in the world, and we welcome more people to travel to China.
让中国在世界上很有竞争力的一点是，与任何其他国家相比，同样价格下你能获得的产品和服务处于另一个档次，包括工业产品、食物、租金、超市随处可见的新鲜食品，以及低成本的基础设施。这对喜欢经济型旅行的人非常友好。此外，中国地域辽阔，不可能一一游遍。每个地区有不同特色，尤其是远离一二线城市的地方。新鲜食品和租金成本低且质量仍然很好。不过，中国的吸烟情况确实对外国人是个挑战。中国目前对很多国家开放了免签政策，欢迎更多人来中国旅行。

@garychin5321
One thing that is also popular in the West; that has yet to catch on, is Self-catering; If your Diet is very particular,...it would be a very convenient option to go self-catering...since; basic ingredients in China is very available & affordable, Just need the Tools for Cooking....Too much Restaurants & Street Food can be overwhelming; sometimes U just want Good Home Cooking...
另一件在西方很流行，但（在中国）尚未形成风潮的事，就是自己做饭。如果你的饮食要求很特殊……选择自己做饭会是一个非常方便的选择……因为，在中国，基础的食材非常容易买到且价格实惠，只需要有烹饪工具就行……餐厅和街头小吃太多有时会让人无所适从；有时候你就只是想吃到美味家常菜……

@jennyli7749
Hello from uk I must say, we have checked out many many YouTubers for information on travel in China for our trip October 2025, but by far I’ve loved your channel the most! I have bookmarked so many of your videos for reference and I think we have nailed a perfect trip! Thank you so much!! ❤
来自英国的问候。我得说，我们为2025年10月的中国行查过很多很多YouTuber，但到目前为止我最喜欢你们的频道！我已收藏了你们很多视频作为参考，我觉得我们已经规划出完美的行程！非常感谢！！❤
