CCTV and BBC jointly produced a 6-episode documentary called Wild China. You could watch it, and the scenes of China in this documentary are very beautiful. This kind of beauty is exactly what the west hope China to be, wild, primitive, and backward. In this documentary, it is completely unclear that China is the world's largest industrialized country.

What a stunning beautiful landscape you are surrounded with! You are so lucky to be able to study Chinese language at young age in such beautiful and relax environment. I wish I can be retired right now and buy a property in this place. Any place with water, mountain/hills, cannot go wrong. I hope they keep this place not too crowded or too commercial. China has definitely changed for the better. Years ago, rural place like this did not look this organized and clean. Now it looks so nice and neat and well maintained. This is so much prettier than what I have seen in other parts of Asia. Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful China that people cannot see from the bias Western media. It is sad, that the Western media is so mean to China and Chinese people and people actually believe what the crap they spread out there. Please keep doing what you are doing in showing us what you see and experience in China that we cannot see outside of China through the Western media.

Yes, I think life and beauty should have nothing to do with politics. At least what we think is beautiful should be reported transparently and publicly. This is also a part of Chinese culture, inclusive of all rivers, tolerance is great, tolerance, coexistence, and truthfulness. Hope the world becomes better, work hard together, and feel the beauty of the world.

I've seen White people on the internet literally say Asians are an inferior race. They don't want to see any Asians/Chinese succeed. I've also experienced it multiple times in my 30 years in NYC. They may not say it to your face most of the time but you can tell by their attitude and body language conveying that thought. No it's not EVERY non-Asian people doing that, but there's more than enough of them. That's why there are a lot of self hating Asians in the West. They don't want to face this kind of discrimination constantly and want to become fully assimilated (White) and reject their Asian roots.

Is this even a county?😳 It's fascinating how developed and modern this is with "urban" town design, multi-storey housings and offices, modernized public services and facilities to an extent, high standard private school(?), etc. For example, my hometown which is supposedly a provincial capital city itself, is not even close to a "mere" Chinese county like this! And fyi, a Chinese county is close to a district in Indonesia.. but Yangshuo is just as developed and, if more beautiful than many regencies/cities in our country here😍☺️

I left my hometown since I went to college which is far way from Guilin. And I’m working at the first-tier city in China. It’s really like what you said: Always keeping up with something surrounding you. Living my life with materialistic and spiritual pressure in the metropolis. And I’ve got used to it for ages since I came to the big city. But actually down deep, I’d rather living my life much simpler.
