Shanghai’s Former French Concession: What to see in one day?
You deserve more views and likes, what a magnificent work you have done. Beautiful! Thank you!
Chinese diseases??? Shouldn't it be Human diseases?
Do you know how I can get from Chengdu to Huanglong National Park? Do you know if there is a direct bus? Thank you very much
Great video. May I know which month of the year you were there?
Jiaju,danba🌸☺️😍…….dream place
In 4 states without sultan as ruler, there is a governor and chief minister. For the other 9 states with malay sultan, they take turn every 5 years to be king.
Yes coral triangle. Malaysia, indonesia, philippines. We have mega diversity which other south east asian countries can only dream off.
Awesome drone shots. Also underwater shots too.
your channel is so underrated
Omg!! What a beautiful Mashjid! InShaAllah we will visit soon.
What underwater camera did you use?
Very interesting. If I wanted to visit a village in Tibet, but without having to go at 4000 to 5000 meter, which Tibetan village would be at a lower altitude ? where could I get the tibetan experience without risking altitude sickness ? Thank you.
Yeah. It is possible to stay at lower altitudes. We can help you arrange this as you will need a Tibet Travel Permit. Feel free to send us an email: thecubbages@gmail.com
Find an agent/agency, they can help you go through all these processes immediately.
Love your video. You're professional!
Thank you for watching!
How'd you get there?
You can drive in from Chengdu or Kangding.
China think if they call it Gyalrong Tibet they will lose territorial claim, while they think Tibet is also a part of China from million years ago.. 😅
Love this so much.
Strange music for this trek, the antithesis of a kailash experience. Couldn't watch it but im glad you had an opportunity to experience it
Thanks for checking it out!
Sabah does not (never did) have King/Queen. Only the Yang di-Pertua Negeri (Head of State) and a government with the Chief Minister as the leader.
Thank you so much! This is very helpful. Apparently my tour guide told me wrong. So that is good to know.
how to go there from chengdu?
You can hire a car. 🚗
Wild west
Thank you for watching!
Beautiful scenery
Yes! It is awesome!
what type of foreigners visit western china and how has COVID and the geopolitical push by the USA and its Allies like Israel, Australia etc to isolate and slow China's rise on the world stage affected western visitor numbers to the western part of china.
Thanks, Edward for watching and making our channel great!
Covid seems to have further isolated China from the rest of the world. I see less tourists now incoming than I did before Covid. China 🇨🇳 is still open for tourists and people are coming in but I think in general they rely more heavily on their huge domestic population for tourism support.
@@thecubbagesthanks
Chinese tourism will change with Time and generational preferences
Yeah. Hopefully it goes through some growing pains and develops into something that gives back to culture and the environment.
@@thecubbagesamen to that
my phayul
Thanks for watching!
❤
Can I know what month did you go? Cause I'm planning to go this Sept. Thank you.
We were there in February and it was very cold. Even almost -15 Celsius inside the hotel. September will be fantastic. That is the beginning of the fall foliage.
Thank you Ben! What was the highest altitude during your hike?
I got up to about 4,400 meters. But if you actually summit some of the Four Susters you can get up to 5,100 or 5,200 meters. Which is definitely enough to make you walk a bit slow and breathe hard!
@@thecubbages Thanks! I believe the route our guide picked peaks out at 5100, looking forward to the challenge!
Your channel really deserves much more audience. The scenery shown is absolutely stunning and jaw-dropping.
Oh and welcome to my hometown. Have fun!
Thanks, Andrew, for watching! I hope we grow over time!
Cool it looks like Dulan Forest, Central Borneo Indonesia.
It is beautiful isnt’t it?
Are you from Borneo?
@@thecubbages No from Celebes. But I had watched a youtuber from Central Borneo walking in the Dulan Forest.
@@thecubbages Yeah, lots of biodiversity. There's also gibbons, macaques, and Palm civet.Yeah I reccomended it to tourist with the right guide.
any accomodation that accepts "aliens" there?
Are you looking to stay in Yushu? What town are you looking at as for as a hotel?
no i meant the place in your reel (称多), as well as further west counties like 治多, 曲麻莱?
Incredible footage. Visited last year and did the day hike past the stone forest. Would love to do a couple days hike - but struggling to find any info. Going to begin searching in Chinese. Any suggestions?
Feel free to email me at: thecubbages@gmail.com
❤❤❤
Thank you for watching!
Did you need a permit to get in to the city?
No. Yushu is open permit-free
@@thecubbages great. Thanks
mashaa Allah alhdulillah
Thanks for watching! You are awesome!
😡 *Promosm*
Thanks for watching!
Beutiful view👍👍👍
Thanks for visiting!
@@thecubbages you're welcome🙏
Which hotel did you stay in? :)
We staying in Big Fin Divers for the diving
In the fall, this place looks like paradise.
Yeah! Autumn 🍂 is crazy as far as leaf colors!
These towers are like in the Caucasus in mountainous Ingushetia
Wow! That is so cool.
If you were in the Caucasus in mountainous Ingushetia, you would have something to compare these towers with!
Man! I need to go there!
What an Incredible and brave man, even a few foreigners know this place, but you actually went to there. Jiuzhaigou is not far from my hometown Jiangyou. Sometimes I really hope that China and Western countries have more connections and fewer misunderstandings, that's the reason why I am in Europe now.
It is my honor to live here!
江油肥肠很好吃😊
👍
Thanks for watching! Great to have you on the journey!
Could you recommend some special places to go?
I highly recommend booking with Big Fin Divers outside of Kota Kinabalu. Also the Tanjong Ari night market is nice!
推荐一条神奇的自驾线路,克里雅古道!但是必须组队进入! Recommend a magical self-driving route, the Kriya Ancient Trail! But you must enter as a team
Thanks for the recommendation! That sounds amazing!
Beautiful. You captured the traditional dance well, with the bamboo poles moving quickly from side to side. Where is the beach at 6:13?
That beach is at Shangrila Rasa Ria Resort about an hour north of Kota Kinabalu. Are you interested to go?
That traditional dance is so cool to watch!
@@thecubbages Yes, probably later this month. I'd like to snorkel, and checkout the highlands around Kundasang.
Incredible scenary and amazing drone work!
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice video, enjoyed the scenery. Would love to travel here some time. New sub to your channel. Greetings from Arizona! 😍👍
Thanks for the sub!
We're planning to fly to kk next year in January. For a few days to a week. Where was you on that long beach after you told us kk was to crowded?
That is the Shangri-La Rasa Ria Hotel. Very nice resort with a private beach. Incredible pool 🏊♀️!
