Completely SURPRISED to Find a Muslim City in China S8 EP 78 | Pakistan to Japan Motorcycle Tour
If you know the name of the game, you can tell me. But I have no idea about it. Oh, it's very spicy. What are you doing now? Now she has understood. Of course, it's very tasty.
They have added some spices in it. It's too spicy. My breakfast has been served. And what we have is... It looks a little weird. These are sweet potatoes.
And some oranges. There you go. Look, I'm making a video and these two are laughing. Because we have breakfast like this. Anyway, at least our stomach will be satisfied.
They have put oranges with it. These are eggs and corn. They have specially mentioned to show the egg fried rice in the video.
So I think we should pack something to eat today. And here we have tea. It's just okay because this hotel is not in the city. If it had been in the city, we could have easily gone there. We could have bought something from the supermarket.
But today we will try. Because we will reach the city today. Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone. And welcome back to the channel from Leibo City, China. Today after having breakfast here in the morning, we have planned to go to the next city, called Zaotong.
It is about 200 km from here. But the place where we are standing is in Sichuan province. And after that, it will be Yunnan province. We can go through the highway there. In this region, as far as we have found out, there are not many highways.
Since it's a mountainous region. With a very beautiful lake. There is a lot of construction going on here because of which this area does not seem beautiful. Secondly, there was a lot of pollution or fog in every area I went. I am not sure.
Today the weather is cloudy. We're not going through the highway but secondary or national roads. So that we can enjoy today's journey. I will explore Zaotong, an ancient city.
I will stay for two nights. I will have time to explore the city and rest as well. Because we are mentally and physically exhausted. We want to slow down the journey. We want to enjoy it. And we want to utilize the leisure time.
So let's get out of here and see how our ride today will be. (prayer for journey) May we have a safe and blessed day ahead. According to navigation, I have to ride 200 km. It will take us 4 hours and 25 minutes. I think it will take us a minimum of 7 hours. So we will reach around 6 o'clock.
I was not able to wake up this morning. I was so tired. Where have they gone? There they are. Maybe they don't have fuel. Let's try to get fuel from the next petrol pump.
I don't have much fuel. Only 2 bars are left. Maybe 2 to 3 liters left. Let's fill up the tank once. Then we will reach Zaotong.
There are a lot of oranges in this region. You can see them along the roadside. Earlier, we passed through an area after crossing Chengdu.
I think there were a lot of oranges too. I think a dam is being built down there. All the beautiful natural sites that we have seen in China, there is a lot of construction going on. Some are for hotels and tourists.
Others are for people. Like houses and real estate. Such sites where a lot of construction is going on, are not joyful. Some of the new tunnels that've been completed are very interesting.
There are also dark tunnels that are literally scary. Because they don't have lights inside. Here they have installed them. Last night we passed through some of the tunnels. The construction was going on.
It's also under construction. There is no ventilation. Due to which, smoke accumulates inside. Look at this tunnel. If I don't turn on the auxiliary lights, you can't see anything.
God forbid, a pit may lead to accident. This is a 5.5 km tunnel. The navigation is indicating. Let me stand on this side and show you.
A dam is under construction there. That's why there is a lot of construction. Look at this. They have made the iron man out of the scrap.
We are stuck in traffic. There is heavy traffic. Yes We have refueled for about $10 from here.
The 95 fuel is around $1.15 or $1.2 per liter. Look at the difference between cities and villages. There is a hell of a difference.
Cities are fully maintained. The village appears to be another entity. Oh, I have to go this way. Now I feel that the road has widened. It is indicating 100 km in 1 hour and 23 minutes.
That means that the road will be like this. We have reached the highway. The people with me have already passed from here. They are telling me that there are mostly tunnels ahead.
I knew he would ask me to go from here. Where are you from? Pakistan!!! Do you speak Chinese? You, alone? Yes Finally, we have reached Zaotong. Today we have reached before dusk.
Wow, amazing. The last 100 km has been a blast on the highway. Let's see what this city is like. A new province.
And today is our first day in Yunnan. I mean, in this province. Let's see, what we get to experience here. Overall, the city looks as beautiful as the other cities we have visited. The entrance is very clean.
This is our room. As always, it is a very clean room. You can see that there is a beautiful bed. They have also provided chairs. It is a very spacious room compared to other rooms.
I paid 150 yuan for this room. This would be around 22-23 USD. I'm very hungry now. Let's rest for a while.
After that, I will go to the city and have food. Whenever I pass through a small or big town in China, I often see old people playing card or board games on the roadside. I am not sure what this game is called. Let me show it to you.
If you know its name, you can tell me. But I don't know what they are playing. It looks like a chess game to me. Only two people are playing.
The rest of them are giving them advice. There was hustle and bustle on the main road, as I left. But the main thing I noticed here is that there are many Muslim restaurants.
It looks like every second or third restaurant is Muslim. It looks like a Muslim street food vibe. Let's go to a street food restaurant.
Let's eat something there. Let me show you. There is barbecue going on here. I am not sure what these things are. Let me show you.
There are a lot of different things here. Some meat and some vegetarian stuff. There is some meat here.
The barbecue is going on. Normally, wherever you find Muslim food, there is a sign like this. If I translate this from Google, it means you are a Muslim. It means Halal food. Two of these. Two of these.
I have bought two potatoes and two others. They have kept an electric stove. They are cooking here. It will become too spicy. I hope it's not too spicy. I have got this for 6 yuan only.
It's delicious. Thank God it's only a little bit spicy. I paid less than $1 for this.
At least I will be good to go with this. The kids are trying to speak English. Hello. It's fully loaded.
I was not expecting. I thought it was just a yogurt drink. Anyway, what can you do if he has brought it. Let's see how big a surprise this is for us.
I think there is some kind of jelly on top of it. I still don't know what it is. It looks like jellies. What are you doing now? I am traveling in China.
Your English is very good. Can you speak Chinese? No, I don't speak Chinese. But I can translate. If you want to ask something... So, you speak Chinese? Yes Do you want to ask something? No, no, no. Thank you.
It's very noisy here. Everyone has put on their speakers here. And things are being sold. They are brave enough to tolerate the speakers all day.
This is a small fruits and vegetables market here. See the fruits and vegetables here. It's very difficult to find broccoli in my country. You can buy whatever you want here. And it is very cheap here. Anyway, China also produces a lot.
These things are not imported. I have seen a very cute shop here, so I have ordered Boba milk tea. Translated the menu, of course. Now let's see if we get the same or not. We are getting a lot of different teas here; even coffee as well.
What I understood from the translation is that they also make a mix of tea and coffee. Let's see what we are gonna get here. This is the first time I am drinking Boba milk tea in China. I have only visited Singapore before, among the South-East Asian countries. And you get it mostly everywhere. I am not sure what it is like there.
But it is served hot here in China. Whenever I used to drink it in Singapore, it used to be cold. And the Boba used to be a little hot.
The tea here is very delicious. I always try to get it. Otherwise, we are mainly fans of coffee.
And now we are in the old town. It is a small and cute old town; not very big. But they have decorated it with lights. I don't think this is a very touristy town. Because there are a few places to see around here. That's why there is not much rush in their old town.
Otherwise, such old towns are full in the evening. We are now at the old town square. It is very lively here. People are sitting comfortably.
They have made some statues here. Families are sitting with them. Children are playing here.
On the other side, there are some ladies with a sound system. They bring their own sound system and start dancing. I have just walked out of the old town.
And it is very surprising for me that in such a small city, almost wherever I am going, I can see Halal food everywhere. This is sort of a street food. It is written on it.
Especially the green one that I showed you earlier. I have memorized it. Makes things easier. Everything is Halal here. I am thinking of trying something from here.
I am not very hungry. But let's eat something light. I will start feeling hungry around midnight. My food intake, here, has reduced a lot. And for that reason, I feel that my stomach has stopped expecting any food.
So let's see a few things here. Assalamu Alaikum Can I get... ? Let's taste something first. One plate. We will sit at the back.
I think it is a little different from the other street foods that we have tried. I have eaten this a lot in Turkey. Now she understood me.
I think it is some sort of mussels. I had eaten it once in Istanbul. But they used to make it with only lemon.
But this one has 3 or 4 things in it. Let's see how it is. I told her not to make it too spicy. Because she was using chilies quite generously. It was still very hot. But of course, it is very tasty.
Because they have put a lot of spices on it. And it is also very spicy. I told her specifically not to make it too spicy. We think that we Pakistani people eat spicy food. But when you come to China and order spicy food, you will get your tongue burnt.
They eat so spicy food. Wow And not just the red chillies; it has green chilies as well. We had a light dinner. The food was delicious. It was a little too spicy though. Paid 8 yuan for it; 2 yuan per piece.
And 8 yuan means 1.2 USD. You can see that the prices are not high. Let's go back to the hotel and rest for a while. We have to go to an interesting place tomorrow.
You'll see that in the next vlog. That's it for today. Remember me in your prayers. Don't forget to press the share button. Allah Hafiz.
