Visiting the Bamboo Sea in Yibin, Sichuan | Traveling in China | Hidden ...

A couple of friends and I visited the Bamboo Sea, a scenic spot just outside of Yibin, Sichuan, China. It's a fairly well-known place here in Sichuan, but not really anywhere else. It's a pretty local spot!
It's A LOT of bamboo all clumped together all over the mountains of Yibin - but it's not just that. There's climbing, hiking, (possibly) ancient temples / places of worship, waterfalls, and more! It's quite a sight to see, and it's not one to miss if you happen to be traveling in this neck of the woods! Sichuan's a pretty awesome place - I really hope you get the chance to visit someday!

China: Thoughts on the City vs the Countryside + a Story | This is China

Thanks for watching! Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/austinguidry
I talk about the countryside and the city. I quickly mention and discuss some of the good and the bad of both places - the comfort vs the hardship, the beauty and quiet vs the noise, and more! I bike out to a couple of villages just outside of Chengdu on an Ofo and show you guys what there is to see!

This is China: We DON'T NEED PEOPLE at the shops now! Self-service Shops...

It's been incredible to witness the transition of China from a cash-only society to a cashless society within the past couple of years. It's nearly unbelievable! I remember the days of carrying hundreds of RMB in my wallet, but now - I just carry my phone - no cash at all!



Now we have WeChat and Alipay (Zhifubao), and they're used for everything nowadays. I've been made fun of because I've used cash. It's so surreal!



Now we don't even need people at shops now! It's all self serve! Just do it yourself - DIY!



I believe that China is leading the world in this aspect, and what China does with this cashless society will shape the future of money not only in Asia, but in the world. Not only with online payments, but maybe even in cryptocurrency in the not-so-distant future!
