很喜欢这种客观辩证的视频与解说，中国不止有上海或深圳这种光鲜亮丽的城市，尽管某些地方并不发达，但也有他们各自的文化与特色。延吉是一个面积不算太大的城市，景点也不是很多，但当地的美食确实值得一试

I like the Dongbei area in general, there's a very interesting environment in Dongbei that you don't get in other Cities For example the Korean feeling in Yanbian and the Japanese feeling in Dalian and Shenyang (Just a disclaimer! I've never been in any of those cities but I've watched videos about those cities and I liked them, Awesome video)

Good to see your video as my wife and I were in Yanji a few days ago and your experience of the city was similar to ours. We liked the place very much. The food (Korean) was great, the people were friendly, the shops and even the toilets were really clean and the overall atmosphere of the city we really enjoyed. I was impressed by the quality of the baked goods. The bakeries that we visited and the pastries that we ate were all of very good quality - like you would get in Japan, Korea, and in France. The West Market was excellent, as was the morning market by the river. Our hike up the mountain was also well worth it. We will definitely go back to Yanji again and like you, the next time we will explore some of the smaller towns and villages in the region. My wife and I really enjoyed the blend of Korean and Han culture and the overall relative sophistication that this blended culture has produced.

My mom is from yanji and when I showed her this video she said this brings her nostalgia

The weird black long sausage is the glutinous rice pig blood sausage or the Korean called it Soondae 순대 or you go to South Korea sometimes it's written as Sundae. But the South Korean version doesn't have glutinous rice.

Cold noodles do not come from South Korea, but from North Korea. The chefs who make cold noodles in South Korea are basically from Yanbian, China.

I haven't been back to my hometown since the outbreak of pandemic, it really is a unique area within mainland China. I'm watching this video from Tokyo and thank you so much for recording this great video.

There are actually 3 islands off the coast of Guangxi where the locals speak Vietnamese. And speaking of minority cultures in China, you might want to visit Xishuangbanna. From what I have seen, even though it's in China, it feels more like Thailand.

Good stuff! I've been studying Chinese for almost six years now. I've been doing Japanese for almost four years and I'm just starting to dip my feet into Korean. I thought learning more about this region of China would be interesting. You did a great job of providing your insights. 谢谢你的内容! 太棒了!

Great video man as someone who lives in korea I definitely agree this feels like Korea and I certainly empathise with you saying you dont follow the trend of other westerners and you prefer to do your own thing. This channel definitely deserves more subscribers

For other destinations it is a good idea to go visit Tumen at the Tumen river. The iron curtain between China and the DPRK is quite a spectacle. A couple of Years ago you would still get arrested there for filming the border patrols. But there also is a pleasure cruise on this tiny river. Very strange.

That there my friend, is my hometown right there!! SHOUT OUT to Yanbian

These people are lucky they ended up part of China (though not as good as South Korea) than in North Korea.

Interesting! I am glad you chose to explore this Korean enclave in Northeastern China...Korean language they speak sounds a bit different from that in South Korea. North Korean cold noodle is popular, a stall run by a North Korean couple in Seoul was closed when I was there....too bad never tried it.

Gret, thanks.

This is my hometown. I love my hometown.

I was in Yanji a few weeks back and made a short about it. The first time I was there was some 13 years ago because my wife is from there, Chinese korean. Indeed it has in fact changed a lot. There is a whole new area with a korean festive town and museum. There was a large dinasaur find and it has a large museum for it. They are developing the local party for it. Forreigners there are mostly russians. The market you were is huge. I think almost everyone buys there or goes there to the foodcourt.

Thanks for sharing your travels in Yanji! It looks really fascinating, and the rough looking buildings as well as those stacked businesses have their charm. I’m curious as to how this area compares to South Korea, or if the vibe is just completely different.

Ouw dam my hometown, nice to see it finally become a tourist attraction

NICE VIDEO 📹of YANJI CITY. It doesn't look like a Remote Border Town at all! It looks very developed and self-contained.

I've never seen any of your vids but watching this one now. Not sure if you're Asian or what but qnyway thx for at least putting it out there that this place exists, for those who don't know but you should at least know a thing or two about Koreans & include that knowedge in your video. If you've been to Korea before, surely you leqrned sthg. Helpful would have been to explain how this region came to be what it is today. And 우리 or WOORI, as in the supermarket means WE/US. Not "worry" misspelt.

Good vlog, you seem to have the "explore" spirit that i like when you stated that you didn't like to go to "foreign expats enclave" that much, and stay open to foreign foods and not being picky about them. That is an unmistakable sign of open-mindedness, you know, at least from my own experience, some foods need an acquired taste, over time through experience you will like them. Like you, my right knee kinda don't like me as well, done a lot of running since teenager, so cheers, courageous explorer, may you have a great time anywhere.🤘

I'm South Korean and I have interest in Yanbian. I would like to visit there but I'm not sure it's possible to communicate in Korean there.

It's similar to Seoul city 😊

May 2023, that was last year, would have loved to give you a tour around the city. I'm quiet relieved to see that none of the South Koreans have viewed your videos yet or has yet to leave any nasty comments. I was kinda scared to scroll down to the comment section to see bunch of ugly comments criticizing you for call our people "Korean." I was actually quiet surprised to find some silly Chinese comments, seems Asians just don't understand the difference from nationality and ethnicity. I hope you had a great time and enjoyed our version of the Korean culture. I hope you can visit again and maybe even take you around for some good food. I love your videos and hope you have a good one.

I live in NYC, I left the town more than 10years. I am thinking about Yanji food alot!

Dude, you do a fantastic job with your videos. I just came across them today. I've been to China six times and have been to several of the locations that you have featured. You have a great way of presenting your material. One thing I would suggest is maybe showing yourself in the videos as well. As far as the one video that you did on marrying a Chinese woman, you were pretty much spot on with much of that, ha ha. Never again! I'm looking forward to watching all of your future videos. Thanks for taking the time to create them. I personally miss China and the culture very much. The people are super fantastic and the food is to die for.

7:14 Have you tried Durian Pizza

a beautiful city

my friend, your camera moves too much, I am getting dizzy 😵‍💫😵‍💫 otherwise great video!

Could you recommend me some places to visit ? I want to go to the border between China and North Korea in 图们. What other places are worth to visit?

Yanbian is 3rd Korea in China. South Korea, North Korea, Yanbian Korea😊

I can eat cool noodles maximum once a year.

Looks like a small town in South Korea back in the 90s.

may I know what phone did you use to shoot this video? the EIS seems a bit bad, its jittering

Report and question: Report - Before COVID, PRC had many Korean tourists. In order to accommodate these tourists all over China, the bilingual Koreans from Yanbian were hired all over China, so many (according to the report) that Yanbian was at risk of losing its autonomous status for lack of population. Question - ¿Are the Koreans who left Yanbian returning?

아무리 중국이라지만 16:37 같은 비주얼을 가진 걸 김치라고 부르거나 사람이 먹는 건 안 될 일입니다.

谢谢你能来我的故乡延吉！我们朝鲜族人很和善友好，绝对不像韩国宣传的那样。希望你有时间再来玩！

Sweet corn on pizza is a korean spin on pizza

WRONG to say it is a "Korean enclave in China" because Yanbian(where Yanji is) is politically a SOVEREIGN PART of China, not that of north or south Korea.. An enclave territory of a country would entail that territory to be a possession of that country. Pls understand the words you used correctly.

so crazy

From your travels would you say Yanji or Jilin Province as a whole is much better than other parts of China in terms of cleanliness, food quality and sanitation, pollution, traffic, politeness etc? It certainly seems from your videos this is a far cry from your typical city in China.

What's 고맙습니다 in 함경사투리??

不能叫韩国文化或韩国人吧 这是朝鲜族自治州大部分是朝鲜时代过来的韩国也是从朝鲜分割的不是吗

It's amazing how similar China and Mexico are...

You can call us "Joseonjok", but don't call us "Korean", we are Chinese, not Korean.

부탁인데,너희 중국인들.한국인 코스프레하면서 여행하지마.너희의 행동을 자주 보고있어.😂

Dude ,u come to China 🇨🇳 to eat pizza !

@6:48 absolute cutie !! should've gotten her Number

I'd like to share my personal opinion as a 중국조선족 Korean-Chinese(grew up in internationalized Han Chinese school). In Eastern Asian world, I am in favor of Japanese, they are mostly polite and well-behaved, leaving me quite nice impression with friendly attitude when I communicate with them. Also I like North Koreans, they are like brave Spartans that dare to say NO to the mad US without any compromises. I like Chinese people of Han(汉族人) cuz they tend to be inclusive and friendly to the outlanders wherever I stay or live in China, their wisdom of the middle course culture impresses me deeply. But I don't have much good feeling on both of South Koreans and Korean-Chinese from Yanbian(민족학교에서다닌 조선족분들이), they make me feel like somehow radical and arrogant, narcissism and brutual, impolite full of nonsense and ignorant thoughts in such eastern Asian world, 연변조선족 and 한국인 are like both same type of "special humans" to me. Therefore, 한국인=연변조선족, 연변조선족=한국인, and they are both the ones who are fond of fighting and harming against each other carrying their own madness, leaving me large dissapointment which is a great disaster for the current human civilization, so lame... That is why I tend to choose to keep in distance from those 2 type of mad people you know, there are all kinds of people in this world now after all so better be aware of it.

Be careful not to get your kidneys stolen there🤣
