Mind-blowing TEMPLE PARADE with 30,000 people in Anxi, Fujian | EP10, S2

You know what Yan, by the end of this series, you would have shown the world more of the real China than what Nat Geo could in years! It’s a rare circumstances seeing inside of china through your travelling …Kudos to you again!!

The Chinese Government should reward you for being so generous with your effort to video shoot all these and show us. All your videos are important to China and the world. What we got to see from your videos are things we usually dont see elsewhere in youtube. Thank you!!

Yan, excellent job! For folks in Malaysia and Singapore of Fujian descendent, I could really relate to this ceremony but it surprised me on the extend of the ceremony! Great job! Am surprised that you are one of the few Vloggers that captured this and display it so well. Well done!

Brilliant film making Yan. This is so interesting - something we never get to see about the different cultures in China. In the West the Chinese people are seen in the mainstream as 1 homogeneous group. Of course that is so wrong. Thanks so much for your efforts in keeping these traditions alive.

I got a bit teary when I saw rows of people carrying out the pilgrimage, which I have witnessed also in Taiwan. Some people might think it’s just folk religion, but I see it as a love poem between people and their nature and the spirits dwelling there.

Yes, I can't believe it they still carry the tradition for many years. I am so glad Chinese government allows them to do that. China is more free than before. Thanks for showing other side of China. I enjoy watching your episodes. You brought the different perspective of China. I bet the big city may not do the culture like this.

Hi little Chinese I'm from Malaysia, 我也是福建人 我的爷爷和奶奶 从福建来到马来西亚 当时我的爷爷才11岁我的奶奶才10岁 坐着卖猪仔的船 来到马来西亚干苦工 看着你这视频我感觉得很感动感觉你已经把我带回祖国 让我 可以 看看 我祖先的故乡 有机会来到马来西亚我很希望可以跟你见一见面

Wow! Now I know how Hokkians in my forefathers' country celebrate CNY. It was great watching your video. Keep showing more videos!

I'm glad you spoke of the difficulty making this video. It makes the whole experience where I sit watching, much more real. You are there, with all your equipment doing your best to capture the hugeness of this event. The noise, burning incense, large crowd walking & walking, drumming, food offerings, people explaining to you what's going on! And then not quite understanding the dialect at times! THANK YOU!

Thank you! You have done something none YouTuber has done and you did it very well. There’s no reason you should not hit a million subscribers.

Wow, the 拜天公 celebrations are really impressive. It's an eye opener that such massive celebrations go on in China which is always said to suppress such practices. Every where the Hokkien are these practices will follow! Keep up the good work.

Yan, all I can say is this your latest video, is Absolutely Amazing and quite breath-taking to watch. Your narration, your interactions with everyone is so genuine and very natural. I like the way you use the drone and such slick editing which is very professional, the content on your channel is some of the best on YouTube as I watch and subscribe on many channels. Yan, just continue doing what your doing as you are a natural filmmaker, I can see your channel continuing to grow at an amazing pace.

Great job Yan! This brings back a lot of my childhood memories here in Malaysia. I am 3rd generation in Malaysia since my grandfather migrated from Fujian province, China. I saw similar processions here in Malaysia during my childhood days in the 1960's but definitely not as big scale and grand like the one you captured in this video. Thanks for sharing.

Good job and well done Ms. Yan for showing the different ethnic cultures in China freely practising their culture, religious belief and tradition which is a complete opposite of the portrayal of the western-minded media in the likes of CNN, BBC, Sky News, CNA, ABC, etc, etc. which portrays China as evil where religion, tradition, and freedom of the ordinary people are suppressed. Unfortunately many people in the west believe the western media . So well done to you Ms. Yan for at least helping even though in a small way to show the world the real China not what the western media wants to portray it with their own hidden agenda. Keep up your good work....and by the way, seriously you are a great naturally talented film-maker!

Wow... Absolutely amazing!!! Thanks for showing this Hokkien temple festivities to the World.

I am agnostic however I am a firm believer that your ancestors do look out and look after you. Case in point; after many long years overseas, returning home to pay homage at my paternal Grandfather tomb sweeping, my mother of course didn't know it's location of my father's father grave, only the grave number. The cemetery was huge . A guy just turned up as we were lost for a while to give guidance [ 1st ]. After clearing Grandfather's grave site someone attempted to lit the first red candles, they would not lit how many times he tried. There were high winds. I had my first try and succeeded in my first attempt. Why? I am the first grandson in the family. That'd made me a firm believer, period. [ 2nd ] Don't knock it even if you don't have belief. Wow the crowd with such unity and such purposefulness. Yan simply exceeded again👍👍👍 Thanks.

Similar parade can be seen in Malaysia though in smaller scale, equally spectacular to watch because of the number of lion dance and dragon dance troops in the parade. In the small town of Siniawan, Kuching district, there is grand parade every year on the 15th day of the Chinese New Year. About 8000 people turn up for the celebration and there are about 20 lion and dragon dance troops taking part in the parade.

Hey Yan, I’m sorry I can’t find any mistakes in your video 😂 But I enjoyed it very much. Please carry on what you’re doing, showing us how different Chinese people live differently. Well done! Btw, I’m very impressed with your drone filming, it’s very professional!

What a wonderful way to bring a community together with worship, traditions, food, drinks, donations and most importantly it is done with love and peace.

Yan, you did no mistakes at all. Superb filming under this situation with 30k people everywhere. My father is from Fujian and it is mind blowing for me to watch this event. Thank you for your hard work filming this event. Love from Malaysia
