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!

The Hanging Coffins of Gongxian County, Sichuan, China. Most Unique Plac...

The mysterious hanging coffins of China. And not just China at that - Sichuan, China - MY province! I've been in Sichuan for nearly four years, and I only just heard of these recently! The Bo people of what is now Gongxian County, Sichuan died out about 400 years ago, supposedly massacred by Ming imperial troops, leaving behind no written records, no monuments.....except for the hanging coffins.
The hanging coffins just may be the most unique place I've ever visited. It's so far off the beaten path that even the locals asked us, "How did you know about these?" I've never been asked that before! Haha
You'll have to take a bus from Chengdu (Wukuaishi Bus Station) to Gongxian (Gong County), then from Gongxian to Luobiao Village, where the coffins are located.
This is not your "ordinary" classical Chinese history. This is something completely different and unexpected. Come and check it out with us!

This is PART 1/2 of my trip to Luobiao Village, Gongxian County, Sichuan, China in order to see the Hanging Coffins of the Bo people. The journey was such that I felt it merited its very own video! We passed through countless tiny towns and villages and wound our way through the Chinese countryside as we got closer and closer to our destination; it would be nine hours before we arrived. Think of that - a full day's travel without even leaving the province!!
