My First Trip to Zhangjiajie 张家界
Welcome to Hanif's Video. Hope You really enjoy it...
================
Zhangjiajie (simplified Chinese: 张家界; traditional Chinese: 張家界; pinyin: Zhāngjiājiè) is a prefecture-level city in the northwestern part of Hunan province, People's Republic of China. It comprises the district of Yongding and counties of Cili and Sangzhi. Within it is located Wulingyuan Scenic Area which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992 as well as an AAAAA scenic area by the China National Tourism Administration.
The new name of Zhangjiajie City was adopted in 1994, after the National Forest Park in the Wulingyuan Scenic Area (武陵源) in order to give it more prominence and after this site had been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992. The National Forest Park had been given the name of Zhangjiajie after the name of a small village located within its bounds, and now a popular tourist attraction within the park. The three-character name (张家界) can be interpreted as follows: Zhang (张) is a common surname in China; jia (家) can be translated as family; and jie (界) can be translated as homeland, giving the completed translation of Zhang family homeland. It has been reported that at least one tourist guide has said that the name may have been chosen to convey the idea or impression of Open the family door to welcome the world (张开家门引进世界), but this is not the locally accepted and directly-translated meaning of the name. The official version of its name is linked to a Han general, Zhang Liang, who resettled in the area after a suspicious Liu Bang, the Han emperor, started to persecute his staffs and generals who had contributed to his becoming emperor. It was so named to signify that the Zhang family had set up home there.
The Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area comprises the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, the Tianzishan (天子山) mountain ranges, Baofenghu (宝峰湖) and the Suoxi Valley (索溪峪), and is a very popular filming and tourist destination.
Also in the Zhangjiajie area, Huanglongdong (黄龙洞) and Longwangdong (龙王洞) are caves known for many natural rock formations (much like Wulingyuan) and its underground cataract.
The Bailong Elevator is also located in the area.
Each year, Zhangjiajie hosts the International Country Music Week Festival,[4] which has featured international acts such as American Country Music group Lucy Angel.
The Zhangjiajie Airport services scheduled service to major airports in China. It is about 5 km away from the downtown and 30 km away from Wulingyuan Scenic Area. There are domestic flights available between Zhangjiajie and other cities, such as Changsha, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou etc. Flights between Zhangjiajie and Seoul, Busan are also available.

Rural China from the Sky
Rice is the quintessential staple dish in most Asian countries and China is no exception. Rice fields are found across the country, from the plain waterways of Zhejiang province to the mountainous regions in Guangxi, boasting some of the most picturesque terraced paddy fields in the world.
Guangxi is where Longji (Dragon's Backbone) rice terraces are located. The area has been a crucial part of the agricultural sector in the region, and is now also becoming a popular tourist attraction. With an altitude ranging from 300 to 1100 meters, the rice terraces dominate the surrounding hills. Several small villages (such as Dazhai) are linked via small pathways, although development is underway for several narrow roads.
A little further in the video you will find shots of the so called 'Fujian tulou'. These are traditional Chinese rural dwellings, built by the Hakka people between the 12th and 20th centuries. The structure itself is a large enclosed and fortified earthen building, mostly round or rectangular in shape. Tulou vary in size, the largest have over 100 separate rooms. Many of the buildings were also constructed as an effective stronghold for defense against armed bandits that roamed the region in previous centuries.
These clips were shot on the DJI Phantom 4 earlier this year, mostly in the Guilin, Yangshuo, and Dazhai region in Guangxi, as well as around Yongding county in Fujian province.

2011 Dec - Hakka Tulou Yongding, Fujian
The Hakka clan still lived in the Yongding county in Fujian, where centuries old tulou were built to protect them from bandits and wild animals. Tulou are round/rectangular structures made of rammed earth and glutinous rice, reinforced by bamboo and wood chips.
In search of our roots, we traveled to the hilly interior of Fujian in Dec 2011 to witness the most astonishing Hakka tulou (roundhouses) that still exist in the 21st century China. There were thousands of tulou but we visited the few popular clusters in the area, namely Chuxi and Hongkeng tulou clusters.
A must place to visit if you are Hakka!

Hakka architecture: Donut-like homes
Hakka Roundhouses (also known as tulou) are a highlight of ancient Chinese architecture. If you are visiting China, the northern province of Guangdong is one of the best places to see them.
The Hakka are an ethnic minority in the region, and their monumental communal housing structures, designed as livable fortresses, date back possibly as early as the 12th century right up to the 20th century.
Eight locations of Hakka roundhouses are now designated World Heritage Sites.
Hakka means guest people or kèjiārén (客家人 in Chinese), and is a word derived from Cantonese for the traveling tribes who settled in the south.
Though they are generally called roundhouses, they come in various shapes, including square, oval, and pentagonal. Their Chinese name tulou indicates their walls are made of earth. In Chinese, tǔ means earth and lóu refers to building.
