Oh, that that guy looks really angry. He’s got the 
hump. Oh, they look good. Oh, yummy. They call it a uh a jun. Don’t know if I’ve absolutely 
butchered that. When you think about China, you would normally think futuristic cities and 
high skyscrapers, but we have got something a little bit different. This is the actual scenery 
here in Xinjiang. We are in Tianshan Park to experience it and share it with you. I’m super 
excited. I’ve never actually seen this side of China and I can’t wait to share it. So, it’s 
surrounded by artificial lakes to stop the flooding, but they’re absolutely beautiful. 
I don’t think I’ve seen water this like clear and then it’s got trees, mountains. It is 
absolutely beautiful. So, everyone’s telling me that this guy is kind of famous. So, let 
me know in the comments if you know he is and let me know who he is. But he’s wearing the 
meat one outfit and he does the old dancing. Yeah. Apparently it’s going like real viral 
here in um in China on um all their social media and stuff. Can you read the Yeah, he’s 
he’s quite a dancer. We’re being coasted in you. Okay. You speak Are you 
You speak English? English? No English? I don’t know how it’s come 
to this. What we doing? We dancing. Okay, let’s go dance, man. Hold on for this. 
Yeah, you this one. Nice one, man. Hey, my phone’s going off in my pocket. Yeah. Okay. 
Okay. Okay. So basically someone had to take one for the team. Pony, right? He actually 
bottled it. I was clapping. Yeah. He said, “I’m not dancing. I’m not dancing.” I went 
over there and he he looked at me. I thought, “I’ve got to dance. I’m a little bit too unfit 
for it, though. The geezer the geezer can move.” When you don’t think a lake could get any more 
beautiful than the last one we just saw. Look at this. Absolutely stunning. And then we got 
a waterfall here. Oh, look at that. There’s fishes in the pond. There’s ducks swimming 
around. This is beautiful. So, we’re 2,000 m above sea level and we’re about 150 to 200 km 
away from around. And I’ll tell you this now, right? We’re in the middle of nowhere basically. 
And I’ve still got 5G on my phone. Oh, no. 4G on my phone. 4G. Yeah. And full signal. Yaks. Are 
they yaks? Maybe. Yeah. Maybe they’re yaks. There is a horse in the back. You only see these sort 
of animals like high elevation. We’re going out. Yes. Go, go, go. Let’s go, man. Y some meat. 
Let’s go and get some yak meat. Something to put on the grill. Ponte, have 
you ever eaten um yak meat? Yeah, it’s very popular. I had it in the poll. It’s 
tasty. Yeah, it is tasty. It’s like beef. Yeah. Yes. Yes. I think all the animal rights 
people are going to be writing in the comments. We’re only joking, by the way. Absolutely 
not. Absolutely. Absolutely not. Hello, yuck. This is a really like stunning place. 
The yaks are making babies. Oh, hello. We’ve got some explicit content here as well. 
Don’t be shy. This is where babies come from. Getting a bit aggy. So this all this is the 
boundary between South Xinjiang and this way and where we are now is North Xinjiang. Um, this 
is like actually higher elevation. As you go up, the higher we get, there’s going to be like, 
well, there is black bears that live here as well. But obviously, we don’t want to get 
anywhere near them because that’s rather dangerous. And I’m not going to um get involved 
with a black bear, that’s for sure. Skinny, is he? Very skinny. They’re all really skinny, aren’t 
they? Yeah. They’re I suppose they’re wild horses. It’s like a tent over there. A huge thank you

Being right up at this elevation. You’ve still got these roads which look actually look 
relatively new. So infrastructure in China doesn’t just stop in the cities. I’ve also 
branched out to the more rural areas. Well, the most rural areas in the whole of in the whole 
of China, like a place like this where it’s you can’t really get to without a lot of effort, 
you’ve still got brand new roads. These roads are really new. We are being called back. So, the bus 
was behind us. We went ahead in the car cuz we was originally in the bus, but they obviously said, 
“Let the uh let the foreigners go first.” So, which was very nice of them actually. So, but we 
uh yeah, we told them to stop cuz we just wanted to see the yaks and the horses and stuff. But 
um let’s let’s get back in and hurry up cuz I think they’ve got like a good meal waiting for 
us. Take a look at Ponty. Look, G is a maniac. Don’t just He can’t be told. That’s a goose. I 
know what a goose looks like. That one’s a duck, Ben. to be honest. Sweet. Yeah, that 
is definitely a goose. To be honest, a goose. It looks like they’re really delicious. 
So, right, I’m having a very good day today. It’s been very nice to see a lot of like really 
breathtaking scenery, but I’ve had a first. Yeah, I’ve never seen a black swan in real life. 
And look, it’s a black swan. And conveniently, this lake’s called Swan Lake. I know. It’s like 
It’s like they know that black swan’s in there. I didn’t even know like black swans were even 
real. That’s crazy. That’s crazy. How lucky are we? And also, is this animal a duck, a goose, or 
a gray lag? A grrey lag? I think he’s Googled it’s a grrey lag. What is a gray? What is a gray? I’ve 
seen this before in her whole entire life. Yeah. What is a grey lag? I’m con I was convinced 
it was a goose. It just looks like a goose. Everyone was saying it was a duck. Turns out it’s 
a greylag. Whatever grrey lag is. But that guy looks really angry. conversation. He’s got the 
hump. He’s like, “What are you doing?” Okay, fine. Look at you. I It’s going to go over 
people’s heads. It’s a little British thing. I tried telling the Chinese guy a minute 
ago and he was like, “I’ve volunteered to uh ride the camel. He doesn’t like strangers, they 
said, and he spits and he might bite. I just had five rabies jabs.” So, uh yeah, this one. Okay. 
I’m on easy. He’s got like a a bolt for his nose. Feel like Feel like royalty. He’s fully unexpected. He don’t smell 
that great to be honest. This is nice. It’s not that fun on your own cuz 
obviously you got no one to talk to. He smell He smells. Does he smell? He smells. Yeah. So, this 
is like a really obviously a really pretty place like the uh the camels and the horse riding and 
stuff. So, obviously it’s got you’re going to have touristy things cuz there it’s obviously 
a very popular touristy area. But I just found out some like mad information that um this this 
blows my mind a little bit. But obviously if you didn’t know Beijing uh the whole of China or 
on Beijing time the whole of China. So whether you’re in Guanja right down south or you’re right 
up in Beijing or even further north maybe in like Harbin or something every everywhere has got the 
same time unofficially the locals they in Xinjiang they add on 2 hours or they take 2 hours away 
I can’t remember what he says. So really um like it’s 2:00 p.m. now and we haven’t had lunch. We’re 
like oh what time we having lunch? He goes and the guy one of the local guys he said oh it’s it’s 
only it’s only midday. It’s only 12:00. We said, “No, it’s not. It’s 2:00 p.m.” He said, “Oh, 
when we use local time, we take off 2 hours, which I find mind-blowing, but obviously everyone 
in Shing Jan sort of um sort of got used to it.” So, uh yeah, that’s how that’s just how they 
do it. Crazy. So, this here, I asked I said, “Is this called a yurt?” Cuz I always thought 
it was called a yurt, but um no, he said, “That’s Mongolian.” This is a Kazak style. They 
call it a uh a jan. Don’t know if I’ve absolutely b butchered that. But yeah, that’s what this 
is called. And these are all across like sort of the mountain ranges and that they’re the uh 
the tents they use the Kazak cuz obviously Shing Jang’s got a is right on the border of Kazakhstan. 
So they got a big Kazakhstan influx and Kazakhstan influence. Well, I’ve actually just been told 
something quite interesting. So there is, forgive me on the numbers because I’m trying to 
memorize it and it could be uh completely wrong, but there’s 57 ethnic groups in China in the whole 
of China and there’s 46 of them them ethnic groups here in Xinjiang. So when we say it’s a very 
multicultural multi-diverse uh population here in Xinjiang, it’s true. Yeah, it’s crazy. And I was 
like, wow, that’s mad. And he went, “Yeah, yeah, really.” So they’ve got uh Kazaks, Ubekistan, 
obviously like Han um and obviously the weagers. Just a quick ride down the mountain about an hour 
and it over an hour. It’s worth far. But we’re on the coach quite a while. So I’ve actually brought 
my laptop with me and I’ve been doing some work. But it looks like we’re going for lunch here. 
The thing is it’s closer to dinner probably now than lunch cuz it’s half free. It’s been a lot 
of traveling today though. There starving. Well, if you’re going to go and see sceneries like 
that, you got to travel out the city and you’re quite far. Yeah. And it’s quite it’s quite a nice 
break to um drive up a mountain rather than hike up a mountain. Could have been a long day if it 
was hiking up. Oh, this looks very local. Oh, wow. Smells amazing. Tourists here, right? They’re 
going to show us uh exactly how they cook their traditional meat bread. And apparently, this 
place is the king of meat bread. That’s what the locals are saying. You have to wait for 5 
minutes. see that cuz they’re cooking right now. Are they doing doing it right now? You guys 
want to see that? Let’s see it. Let’s see it. You can see. Yeah. Yeah. They look stuffing 
them. Let’s check them out. To be honest, we um come in a little bit 
uninvited. So um to be fair, they wasn’t really expecting us. 
Hello, Niha. Nih. What’s going on here? They’re going to show you guys. Yeah. One minute. 
There you preparing herself. Yeah. Getting ready. Tell the husband off. You got 
to show you guys. Yeah. At this. She’s definitely the boss. She 
definitely wears the trousers. Women always are boss. Always. They 
got to show you guys. Yeah. Just roll it flat. And then they’re going to stuff 
it. So, we got some fresh meat there and some herbs and then fat. Oh, the best 
part. You’re going to put fat in it. What’s this? Is this meat? We got onion and meat. This is beef. Beef. Beef. Beef. Yak. No. No. I 
love beef. Love beef. Love beef. They got beef and onion. And they put it in the It’s not oven, 
but they put it in there. Something like really that kind of make bread in that. Yeah. Yeah. Stick 
it to the side. In. Okay. We got like a sausage roll. It’s like a similar thing but obviously 
so we’re learning the wig language as well. So I’m learning as well. 
I didn’t know it was I say correct. It’s correct. Yeah. Ah, that’s how they get the shade. And then 
they bring it over here from there once it’s prepped and it sticks to the side and then 
goes in this oven and cooks. All right. So, he’s just topping it up with some coal in there. 
But they’re like cooking nicely on the side of the oven. You can see him crisping up. Look at 
him. There’s loads in there. How do I keep track of give me a kill? More coal needed. We got ponty 
over there as well. I’m buzzing for these. Wow. All around the edge. Oh, wa. It looks like a nest 
from the bees. Honey nest. Really? Yeah. Yeah. No, I don’t agree with that. So, they’ve got 
like a little set up here, so you can come just walk up here and buy them in a bag, pay 
your WeChat, but they said they take about 5 to seven minutes to cook in there. I don’t know 
if they clip it. I don’t know how it cooks the other side. It’s all to do with the He puts the 
lid on and then the steam cooks it. Yeah. Oh, cuz I think he had the towel over it a minute ago. 
Oh, they’re cooking. They’re looking good. Oh, how Ask him how long or were they done? Are 
they finished? Yeah, it’s Are they done? Yeah, they’re done. Wow. Get it up. You can’t eat it. 
They smell amazing. So, how will we get them off without dropping them? That’s the skill. The 
moment we’ve all been waiting for. Oh, we’re going up here, are we? Oh, thank you. Oh, they 
look good. Oh, yummy. They’re going to be good. Yeah, everyone understands. Here 
you go. How does he get him out? Oh, that’s how he does it. knocked them 
out and it goes into the big spoon. Oh, look at them. Oh, I’m looking forward to them. Come on. Our 
food’s there. We got to go. Let’s go. Let’s go. Is that fake? Look at this bread. bread, skewers, noodles. This 
is literally like our dreams. This is so good. So, we’re like a local from the top. 
Oh, you got to do it from top. So, we’re like a local now. You got to slide it 
off into your noodles. Yeah. I just just saw him do it and I say that’s how that’s how you 
do it. I’ve been I’ve been eating them from the stick. I need to put the meat here. Yeah. This 
looks absolutely delicious. Oh, wow. Wow. M. That meat is so juicy and flavorful. Then we got our noodles. I hope that’s not spicy. 
It looks spicy. Is your mic on? Yeah. M. It looks tomatoy. M. That’s well nice. You 
got a little kick. It’s got like sesame seeds in there. That’s really nice. Are they proper 
hot? Yeah. Wow. Hot. We’ll let them cool down for a bit before we try them. But I’m well 
excited. Just one. Most people most people have zero. Slow. It’s hot. It’s okay. It’s 
okay. It feels feels okay. It’s very good. Try it when it’s inside. Yeah. Not stinging on 
the meat are. Yeah. There’s loads of meat in it. Beef and onions. Literally like Cornish 
pashi. Same sort of thing. Same sort of flavor. Delicious. Delicious. Looks thick. 
Like steak meat. All right, guys. We are back out. It’s evening time. We just went back to our 
accommodation and they did us a beautiful spread of food. We had sheep, beef, chicken, everything. 
It was massive. Um, but we’ve just come to watch the sunset here and we’re at this lovely tower 
here. And Ben probably knows a lot more than me. This one represents the green dragon. That one’s 
the red dragon in the distance. And that’s about all I know. Yeah, it’s kind of like one of Chinese 
like stories, like a fairy tale story. Yeah, they because couples come here, but they 
also believe that there’s a ghost here. So, uh yeah, it’s all spooky in there. But we’re 
going to jump back in our cool car. Look, we’ve been upgraded from the coach. We got our 
own private suite now. Ponty shotgun. All right. After like driving around for so long, I swear he 
got lost. You got lost twice. He got lost twice, did he? Yeah. We’ve come to look at viewpoint. 
Polly was like, “You lost again.” But we’re just walking up here now. I think we got sunsets about 
20 to no in here and it’s like just gone 10 8. So, I think we’re at the perfect time. Actually, it’s 
getting a little bit chilly. It’s a jumpers with us. Ben’s already put his on. Yeah, I’m getting 
prepared. Does get cold. But when we were driving up here, it looked amazing. So, I think the 
views are going to be spectacular. All right, check this out for the view. This is absolutely 
stunning. We’ve got the moon still out over there. We’ve got snow cap mountains just poking 
out and then you can see the city. So, this is like a 360 view of the whole city. We’re 
116,000 m above sea level. Did I get it right? No, I think it was it was 1116. It was 1,116. So 1,116 
m above sea level up here. So quite high up. We were going up some windy roads, but it’s worth it 
for these views. These are lovely. But if we go through a bit more, you see, look, the city. We 
got Oh, look a glass floor. I don’t really know why. It just goes down some to some tree bushes. 
But it’s actually like quite busy and popular up here. We just got sun setting over there. So 
that must be the spot. The music’s on. That means we need to hide cuz they’re definitely 
going to try and drag us in dancing. Look. So, I’m trying to get a picture of Ben and 
he’s literally the Look, he’s gone. He’s gone again. I’m like taking a nice picture. Look 
at all these husbands, boyfriends, aren’t they? Taking pictures for their girlfriends. And Ben’s 
just wandering off. Come on, I want a picture. Oh, I don’t this is not I don’t like this fact. 
Look at these guys photos. These guys Chinese guys so good at pictures. Chinese guys are 
very learn from them. Chinese Chinese husbands and boyfriends are very good at pictures but it’s 
not my thing. I don’t like pictures. Good morning guys. This keeps happening. We keep forgetting 
to film in the evening. We get so tired. So we do something and then we always got like 40 
minutes to an hour drive back to accommodation. So we’re so knackered when we get back that 
we forget to finish the video. But yesterday, another good day. It was more of a chilled day. 
We finished the evening off with a show which was amazing. It was like a love story. It seems to be 
a thing here in China of um a girl meets a boy, he’s poor, the dad don’t approve, so the guy 
got rich and then they got married. It’s like kind of Yeah. But it’s kind of like China’s 
kind of stories. So when we watch like a show, it’s kind of like what the story line. It’s always 
about a man guy falling in love with a girl. Um, which is lovely. I love a romantic story. But it 
was really good. Brilliant. Got tried to get us up to dance, but we were like, we’re so danced out. 
There’s so much dancing here in this province. So, if you love dancing, definitely come here cuz 
you’re going to be doing it all the time. So, obviously, when we got back after the show, it was 
like half 11, 12:00 at night. Me and Muel Pointy, uh, who’s a really bad influence on me. Every 
time I see him, we end up having a few beers. But I did say at the beginning of the series, I am 
totally off the alcohol because I’ve been doing it too much. Well, yesterday it all crumbled thanks 
to Ponzi. Yeah, we just went for a few beers and uh I ended up getting it at too like 1 or 2:00 
in the morning. 1:00. 1:00 in the morning. Rianne didn’t even bother coming out. She just went to 
sleep. So, uh yeah, that was a really nice way to cap it off. But I will say this province has 
totally surprised me. It’s been so amazing. I’ve loved it so much. Everyone’s friendly. The culture 
is amazing. The food is unbelievable. Honestly, it’s possibly the best food I’ve had in China. 
It’s so good. Um, yeah, I would say to anyone if you’re thinking about coming to Shing Jang, 
you should definitely do it cuz the scenery as well is amazing. So, make sure you watch the 
next video. We’re going to a new province, a new city. It’s like a 4-hour flight. That’s 
how big China is, man. It’s absolutely huge. But, we’re staying up north. So, if you want 
to see where we’re going, subscribe. And we’re about 38 kil kilometers from Runi. All right. I thought it was 200. He’s got 
some He’s got some yak [ __ ] on him. Oh man. Oh, is he treading it?
