SILK ROAD - CHINA
HERE WE GO! This is a travel music video of my journey along China's epic Silk Road in December 2016. Please give it a thumbs up, share and subscribe!
Most of the footage is captured with a DJI Phantom Drone and the rest with either Canon DSLR or iPhone.
The route started in Lanzhou, Gansu province and then westwards to Urumqi mostly by high-speed train. The video loosely follows this route chronologically; so hopefully you'll enjoy being somewhat informed too! Any questions about these places, please ask.
---Lanzhou - One of China's largest cities
---Zhangye - Home to wetlands, plains, desert and mountains; we visited Binggou Canyon and Danxia rainbow mountains.
---Jiayuguan - site of the western most point of The Great Wall of China and Jiayuguan historic fort.
---Dunhuang - Here, the first spring - a crescent moon shaped oasis in the middle of a huge range of desert sand dunes.
---Turpan - Wine country! (Well, grapes).. and the epic flaming mountains, Turpan has one of the oldest underground irrigation systems which feeds water from the mountains to civilization.
---Urumqi - A huge sprawling city full of many ethnic minorities in China with very interesting food and a lot of police checks!
Obviously there were also a fair few small towns etc I don't know the name of. After this we went onto Georgia which will follow in a different video. Thanks for watching, love to all! X

The Legend Of Pangu Multimedia Show Lanzhou China
It’s immersive, it’s inspired, it’s putting Lanzhou back at the centre of the world stage! In this dazzling experience of spectacular combined effects, both indoor and outdoor, cutting-edge architecture and custom technology meet China’s ancient storytelling tradition.
« The Legend of Pangu » is a permanent nighttime spectacular built at the historic cross-roads between East and West, where the Silk Road once brought intrepid travellers from afar.
Like two colossal halves of a gigantic egg split open, the architecture of the theater embodies the story, a legend older than time, breathing fresh life into the very origins of the universe. The significance of the building’s curved forms is revealed as the story unfolds in beautifully human simplicity.
When there were no appropriate technologies available, our team leveraged its expertise to create brand new technological solutions. Blending indoor and outdoor effects in a single hybrid venue is in itself a world first. After several months of R&D, a revolutionary new double-curve cascade screen was invented to allow high definition video projection on a curve that hugs the building’s inner contours. A radical new effect called Jet Fog was created, blending mist and smoke to form intensified density for laser, light and video effects. Lanzhou also hosts the team’s first sensational use of laser diodes.
Travelling to Lanzhou from Beijing
Vlogging our experience in domestic travels from Beijing Capital International Airport to Lanzhou, then taking a hard sleeper train to Dunhuang.
We booked a hostel in Dunhuang through the booking website 'Booking', but when we arrived it was a ghost town. Whoever was managing the hostel clearly forgot that he had people booked to stay on the date and never showed up. A couple of foreigners in a quiet town, we didn't know what to do. Thankfully, we were able to book a decent hotel for cheap online because they had some rooms to fill. That scathing review never had to be written because we received a refund.
In the next episode, we make our way to the Crescent Moon Lake / Yueya Spring in the Gobi Desert!

WORST CHINATOWN EVER?! - Chinese Legacy in INDONESIA
Please support this channel by not skipping the ads. Thank you!
:)
I am back with another food video. In the attempt to find a better chinatown to show you guys, I went to a supposedly Chinatown inspired theme park in Bandung, West Java. It did disappoint me so bad!!! It didn't represent anything about China other than the ornaments, and a bit of Chinese food. Nonetheless, I did manage to overcome my anxiety of the day while filming in public and showed you the Chinese Indonesian food that exist in Indonesia. Hope you enjoyed this as much as I do :D

ABOUT ME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi there!
I am Anissa Syifa Adriana, otherwise known as Syifa. I am a conversation connoisseur, Indonesian female solo traveler and make-up enthusiast. I started my first solo traveling in June 2014, a coincidence trip, where it was intended for someone I was very close to in the past. I never regret deciding to go because after that, I never look back.
I decided to leave Indonesia since August 2016, to do a long-term traveling. After being on the road for about 5 months, in January 2017 I was offered to teach English in Yinchuan, Northwest China. Instead of going back home, at that time I went straight to China from Vietnam carrying only the remaining USD 300 that I had in my bank account. Arrived in China for the first time, everything felt so intimidating and foreign at the same time. Since then, I was based in Yinchuan, Northwest China and had been loving it.
As of now, I am back on the road again to travel and make videos on Youtube. Thank you again for watching! I hope you get to enjoy the video as much as I am making it.
Let's keep it positive. Don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe :)

#Tibet #travel #adventure #Qinghai #Maduo
Maduo 玛多, is the highest town in all Qinghai and the coldest town of the Golok མགོ་ལོག་ Tibetan region. This is the county seat of Maduo County 玛多县 with an average elevation of 4,300 m (14,107 ft).
It is here in this desolate land, just a few hours from Maduo town, where you can find the headwaters of the Yellow River which flows to Ngoring and Gyaring Lakes. The upper reaches of the Yellow River, known by local Tibetans as the Ma Chu རྨ་ཆུ་, are found in western Golog Prefecture. From here, the Yellow River winds through much of eastern Qinghai Province and dumps a huge amount of nutrients into the lower farmlands downstream and leave them with an enriched fertility.
The Yellow River or Huáng Hé is the second longest in China after the Yangtze River, the third longest river in Asia and the sixth longest in the world at an estimated length of 5,464 kilometers (3,395 miles).
The headwaters of the Yellow River originate at an elevation of 4,500 meters and then proceed to flow through 9 provinces of China and empties into the Bohai Sea. It is called the Yellow River because huge amounts of loess sediment turn the water that color (although the color is usually closer to a smudgy brown). So much of this mineral-rich soil ends up in the Yellow River that it can fill the riverbed and thus change the river’s course. It is slow and sluggish along most of its course and some regard it as the world’s muddiest major river, discharging three times the sediment of the Mississippi River.
The cultural and geographical significance for China can not be overestimated. Its basin is considered the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilization, and it was the most prosperous region in early Chinese history.
The Yellow River is not just a long river, but also the symbol of the Chinese spirit that has come as a result of this ancient civilization’s endurance: bearing burdens (its sedimentation), adaptation (its course changes), and perseverance (its continual flow).
And all of this culture and history of the Yellow River originates in the middle of nowhere on a lonesome, vacuous, sedgy plain. In particular, the two gorgeous, turquoise lakes mentioned above are considered as the source of the Yellow River. In Tibetan these lakes are called Tso Ngoring མཚོ་སྔོ་རིང་ (Eling Lake in Chinese) and Tso Gyaring མཚོ་སྐྱ་རིང་ (Zhaling Lake). Though very remote and difficult to reach, these lakes are amazingly beautiful and offer incredible glimpses of the snowy peaks of the nearby Kunlun Mountain Range.

The Yellow River in Bird's Eye View (鳥瞰黄河)
About the Yellow River of China:
The Yellow River (or Huang He) is the second-longest river in Asia after the Yangtze and the sixth-longest in the world at the estimated length of 5,464 km (3,395 mi).Originating in the Bayan Har Mountains in Qinghai province of western China, it flows through nine provinces and empties into the Bohai Sea near the city of Dongying in Shandong province. The Yellow River basin has an east--west extent of 1,900 kilometres (1,180 mi) and a north--south extent of 1,100 km (680 mi). Its total basin area is 742,443 square kilometres (286,659 sq mi). The Yellow River is notable for the large amount of silt it carries—1.6 billion tons annually at the point where it descends from the Loess Plateau. If it is running to the sea with sufficient volume, 1.4 billion tons are carried to the sea annually.

Gansu - On the Silk Road
La provincia del Gansu si trova nella Cina nord-occidentale. A ovest di Lanzhou, capitale del Gansu, e ad ovest del Fiume Giallo si trova il Corridoio Hexi, un importante passaggio strategico sull'antica Via della Seta che si estende ad ovest. Questa zona è ricca di un ricco patrimonio storico e culturale, tra cui grotte buddiste, edifici antichi e altri cimeli culturali.
Attraverso queste terre e nel deserto del Gobi, è possibile ammirare alcuni paesaggi naturali caratterizzati da una tormentata storia geologica.
