We’ve been staying in the hostel 清平了 in the village of Baisha for the last 2 months
To try and capture the magic of this place
we dedicated a week to filming
all the best bits
This is the result
Today we're going to Jade Dragon mountain
to ride bikes
Golden and Xuanxuan's birthday cake
Back at the hostel
there’s always something happening
When not outside adventuring, I always like to cook
It's all green
Yeah
I'm staying there
You're staying in this room?
Yeah
Then we're neighbours right?
The texture's not bad
The pair? Feels good right?
Did you see how thick the sides are?
I did it like that on purpose
Oh yeah?
Near Baisha ancient town
there's so many places worth exploring
Tibetan temples and high altitude hiking trails
give the area a magical feel
And the wind can get kinda crazy
but it makes the outdoors feel clean, pure and wild
We visited in winter
Practically every day has blue skies as far as the eye can see
and the temperature is perfect
But the thing I miss the most…
is Golden
Golden come bite my hand
Hey! *evil laugh*
You're mine
I often loved running with him in the nearby fields
Just the two of us
Running with Golden
made me feel free
At that time
You don’t have to think about anything
You can run madly together
with no one watching
And afterwards
the world starts to feel a little brighter
Asian squat, yeah!
We've discovered lots of withered, dead trees
From the looks of it
there must have been really really huge wind
or lightning that made them like this
Hai! Hai!
Right now we're at the remains of a glacier
It's very clear there's no glacier here now
and no snow
Where?
There's nothing now
The water's dried up here so it's not very beautiful
The clearest night skies I’ve ever seen
were in Baisha
Lying on our bed
we could watch the stars and moon pass by
We killed time learning constellations and dreaming together
Sometimes we spent the mornings out running together
In the short space of time when running
we'd work out what to do with the rest of the day
Make it as tight as possible, this is too loose
Oh okay
Like this
La~ Doh~ Rei~
Dung dah dung dah dah dah~
Yeah, Wooaaah
Is it fun?
Yeah
On the last day, we took a road trip out to the nearby rock climbing base, Shigu
Go through both, come up from the bottom
We climbed there
Go straight up, if you can just go straight up
If you can't make it, try the left
The scenery here's really great eh?
I think everyone needs a time to reset
And that’s what Baisha has been for us
To put it simply
at that time, Baisha was the place we were looking for
I think everyone needs a place like this
that can help you find peace
Find what you want from life
and seize it
This chair is really low
We made this film for ourselves but also our friends in this hostel
So they can use the film, put it out on their WeChat and hopefully get some more customers for them
and they gave us a month's rent for free
So we just wanted to get that out there and say it to you guys
incase any of you watching your are wondering, "hmm why's there so much hostel in this film?"
Did they get paid for this?
And we, we still have more videos about Baisha, Yunnan so keep watching and subscribe
Yeah!
See you next time
Bye byee
