VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION (HIGHLIGHTS)
00:00 – INTRO
More than 2,000 years ago, the great trade routes that linked Europe and China opened Central Asia to foreign cultures, customs and religions. MIR's iconic tour, Journey Through Central Asia: The Five 'Stans, is a modern-day caravan on an epic Silk Road journey to five of these exotic countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan.
01:44 – KAZAKHSTAN
Kazakhstan is the largest and richest of the five 'Stans. We visit the country's former capital, Almaty, known as the Capital of Apples; Zenkov Cathedral; as well as a falcon farm for an up-close look at these beautiful birds used in hunting.
02:38 – KYRGYZSTAN
Mountainous, unspoiled Kyrgyzstan is Central Asia's best-kept secret. We visit Lake Issyk-kul; learn about horses and traditional horse games; visit Burana Tower; and in the country's capital, Bishkek, we listen to a portion of the famous poem, Epic of Manus – with nearly half-a-million verses.
04:42 – TAJIKISTAN
Tajikistan is a country infused with the influence of Persia, Islam, and Russia. We visit the 2,000-year-old city of Khujand; in this old Silk Road town we explore the colorful covered Panjshanbe Bazaar.
05:06 – UZBEKISTAN
Some of the most famous UNESCO-listed Silk Road sights are in Uzbekistan. We visit Osh and Rishtan in Fergana Valley; explore the country's capital, Tashkent; wander through Samarkand, known as the Crossroad of Cultures with Registan Square's blue-tiled mosaics, mosques, and madrassahs; and see Shakhrisabze, birthplace of Tamerlane the Conqueror. Bukhara was an oasis in the desert for Silk Road camel caravans long ago, and still is for modern travelers today. In Khiva, the Old Town called Ichon Qala looks much as it did centuries ago, while Nukus is known for its once-banned avant-garde Soviet art at the Savitsky Museum.
07:56 – TURKMENISTAN
Turkmenistan is a country of tribal culture and camels as well as modern cities and transportation. We visit three UNESCO-listed sites: Khorezm's Kunya Urgench and Kutlug-Timur Minaret, Merv, and the 2,000-year-old city of Nisa. The tour ends in Turkmenistan's capital of Ashgabat, filled with white marble buildings, as well as a nearby visit to an Akhal-Teke horse-breeding farm.
Travel in China E02 My Journey on the Silk Road 游走中国 第二集 我的丝路
This is the 2nd episode of the documentary series Travel in China 游走中国 is a travel documentary that retraces the route taken by ancient Chinese people. The film crew drove along the ancient Silk Road from Xi’an to Tianshui, Lanzhou, Zhangye, Dunhuang and the Jiayu Pass. During the Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE), Zhang Qian expanded the Road for imperial envoys and thus contributed to a giant leap in relations between China and countries in Central Asia. The production team traveled thousands of miles through the provinces of Shanxi and Gansu as well as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, exploring the history of this ancient road and documenting its new look. This documentary examines a possible driving route for foreign visitors and serves as a promotional film for road trips in China.

Top Things to See in China | A Guide to The Best Tourist Attractions in China
Top Things to do in China!
I know that this is long overdue and that I haven't posted a video in a while, but seriously China!! Anyways, this list is less about the top attractions in China and more about the best ones. Moreover, it features the off the beaten path destinations in China as well. So what are the most incredible things to do in China. Here's my take:
10) Changsha and the Mao Zedong Staute (长沙和毛泽东雕像)
This is crazy, in the capital of Hunan Province there's a giant statue of Mao Zedong that looks like something out of Mount Rushmore. Definitely a top thing to see in China.
9) Bifengxia Panda Base (碧峰峡大熊猫保护区)
The Panda Center in Chengdu is a bit over-touristed. That's why it's a great option to head to Bifengxia on the edge of the village of Ya'an, and up to this amazing place to visit in China.
8) Dunhuang Oasis (敦煌绿洲)
Up in Gansu Province there are a lot of amazing places to see! The Dunhuang Desert Oasis is an extension of the Gobi and is unreal!
7) The Westernmost Section of the Great Wall of China in Jiayuguan (对中国的嘉峪关长城的最西端科)
Sure, most people travel China specifically to see the Great Wall. Most head to Beijing. If you want an off-the-beaten-path option than Jiayuguan is perfect.
6) Yangshuo (阳朔)
In Guanxi Province Yangshuo is awesome. Limestone karst landscapes and beautiful river scenes make this an easy addition to the top things to see in China.
5) Mati Si and the Cliff Temples (马蒂思崖寺)
Mati Si is really cool. It's famous for the Buddhist Cliff temples, and they are very cool. Full of grottos and caves, this is a must see in China.
4) Zhangye Rainbow Mountains (张掖彩虹山)
This was probably the #1 thing I was looking forward to in China. However, most people don't even know about it. The Zhangye Rainbow Mountains are unreal, and a worthy addition to a travel itinerary in China that is full of amazing attractions.
3) Shangrila and the Songzanlin Monastery (香格里拉和松赞林寺)
Up on the border of Tibet in Yunan Province, the town of Shangrila is a really interesting visit. Lots of colourful people, interesting architecture, and the amazing Songzanlin Monastery.
2) Dragon's Backbone Rice Terraces (龙的骨干梯田)
Near Guilin, the Drangon's Backbone Rice Terraces are a must-see in China. They were close to ending up as the number one thing to see in China on this list, but even the amazing landscapes of this place couldn't beat out...
1) Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and the Avatar Mountains (张家界国家森林公园和阿凡达山)
Actually, this was fairly easily my #1 Thing to see in China. The avatar mountains in Zhangjiajie National Forest park are crazy cool. The incredible mountains were the inspiration for the movie avatar. You need to see this place with your own eyes!
That's it for my list. What's on your top attractions list for China?

After about 50 takes under the hot Zhangye sun and constant vague direction to be more expressive, this is what resulted.

China's Xisha Islands Cruise Tour Thrives
Tourism has been thriving on the Xisha Islands in the South China Sea as regular cruise tours have brought an increasing number of tourists to the islands.
The Xisha Islands are a cluster of islets, sandbanks and reefs in the South China Sea. China set up a city, known as Sansha, to administer the three islands in 2012, with its city government office on the Yongxing Island.
The first cruise tour began to operate in 2013. There are now three regular weekly cruise tours around the Xisha Islands.
The Changle Princess, a 126.6-meter-long, 20.5-meter-wide cruise liner, made its maiden voyage in March 2017. Replete with such entertainment facilities as bars, dance floors, cafes, shops, and reading rooms, the cruise has a carrying capacity of 1,000 people. It starts from the Phoenix Island off the coast of Sanya and it takes 14 hours to arrive at the Xisha Islands.
A typical four-day package tour takes tourists to the beaches on islands of Yagong, Yinyu and Quanfu, providing activities including diving, fishing, photography,and seafood tasting.
I've been to many sea areas in the world, including the South Pacific Ocean and Tahiti. But the seawater here is unique. It has clear graduation of colors, from deep blue to light blue, said Wang, a tourist from Beijing, capital of China.
I come from northwestern region of China. Traveling from the westernmost to the southernmost areas, I feel that China's territory is so vast and the landscapes are so beautiful, said Li, a tourist from northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
Tourism has brought about many changes to the islands and the life of the local residents.
The environment on the islands has become better instead of being damaged amid the influx of tourists as tourists help people pick up rubbish floating in from other parts of the sea.
There was much rubbish in the past. Now tourists are helping us pick up the rubbish. They don't liter. The island has become clean, said Lu Deyi, a local fisherman on the Yinyu Island.
Flourishing tourism has boosted the income of the local people. In the past, they fished for a living. Now they sell aquatic products and souvenirs to tourists.
We used to make a living by collecting conches, catching fish, lobsters and picking up holothurians. With the development of tourism,the annual income of a fisherman has increased to 70,000 to 80,000 yuan from only 20,000 yuan in the past, said Li Linjun, head of the neighborhood committee of the Yinyu Island.
People's livelihood has been improved since the establishment of the city of Sansha. Electricity is accessible to all households on the islands around the clock and desalination facilities make local life more convenient. The local government will also complete a settlement for the fishermen on the island of Yinyu by the end of 2017.
