This Chinese Guy tried to Help us S8 EP 77 | Pakistan to Japan Motorcycle
See, they are making fun of me. Your English name is? Apple Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone and welcome back to the channel from Leshan, Sichuan province, China. Yesterday I reached here and now I'm in the boat. That's why I am wearing a life jacket. Why am I in the boat? Because here is a very historical, about 1700-1800 years old Buddha. Who is carved in these cliffs.
And this Buddha is about 71 meters high. One of the highest Buddhas you will see here in China. So I am heading through this boat to see it. At this point, three rivers coincide. Dadu River, Minxiang River and I have no idea about the third river. So to see Buddha, you can either walk 4-5 kilometers and come right under that statue.
Alternatively is to go through the boat. Early morning, I boarded this boat. To see this Buddha. Next, my plan will be to leave from here. Take the motorcycle and go ahead.
I will enter Yunnan province today. It's about 400 km ride from here. Most likely, I will spend the night in a small town called Muchuan. So anyway, let me show you some drone shots of Buddha. Let's try to fly the drone from here. In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
(prayer for journey) May I have a safe and blessed day ahead. I have just pinned the first destination of a lake. It's about 190 kilometers from here. The tire is flat, I think. Let's see. The tire is wobbling.
I can see Havel H7 here. We have Havel H6. The temperature is around 23-24 degrees. This is the hottest day since I left Central Asia.
2.4 bar. Yeah. I can put like now 2.1-2.2. Oh man! It's almost gone.
You have no pressure inside? No. How old are you? 31 3 ---- 1, 31. Yes 1 7 38 20 Yes. Amazing view of the mountains here. I think they have stopped ahead to fly the drone. There is a lot of bamboo in this area.
A lot of bamboo has been planted along the roads. Secondly, it can be seen in the forests as well. Now, the road is smooth.
Earlier it was a wide road with heavy traffic. Now it's a small road. I'm passing through the forest. It's amazing.
No traffic on such roads makes it joyful. I think there is no such tourist spot in this area. That's why there are no buses. It's just local traffic. I can see small villages consisting of two to four houses.
Where are they going. I think they must have found a place to eat. It's almost 2:15 pm. I am hungry. I didn't even have breakfast. The dinner was also not good.
It's difficult for a day or two. Since I entered China, dinner is not the issue. But lunch is a problem. I don't get enough time to stop somewhere and have lunch.
They have chosen a restaurant over there. The kitchen doesn't look very clean. There is a bit of noise here. I think something like egg fried rice will be good enough for lunch. I think we should be prepared for such kitchens ahead.
But they must have kept it clean. I can eat anything. But Yasin is having a problem.
So Yasin, are you okay eating here? Are you okay eating here? Absolutely not. If you see him complaining the next days, I told him. It's because of this caviar. So our food has been served. But the problem is that Yasin is also recording himself.
Andres is also recording himself. And I have to record too. Because we got egg fried rice today.
But the rice is very good. We have to eat like this. Actually, I had to ask them to give me egg fried rice last night. So let's make a habit from now on. I feel so lazy after lunch. I feel like I am in a relaxed mode.
I feel like sleeping here. But we still have a long way to cover. Check this out. What a huge bridge they are building here. I think it will be built over the village and will be connected to some mountainous area. Massive construction is going on in such small areas.
Amazing. As this is such a huge country with such a large population. Yet we don't feel much traffic on the roads. It's quite normal. The reason is their infrastructure. There is another bridge being built over there.
Looks beautiful. We have just come out of the tunnel and it's being constructed here. I think they are building a tunnel here and will connect it to the bridge. Three such huge bridges are being built in one place. This is a beautiful Chinese town. You get this vibe when you enter a Chinese town.
I mean, we are in China but every town does not have such vibes. There are traditional red lights on the sides. And all the houses are of the same color. We are going along the Ji'anxia Ji'ang river.
I thought it was a lake due to its large basin. But now I think it's a river. Jinxia Lake is ahead.
Let's see where we are now. The river is down there. I was riding close to it.
I have to go up for another 18 km. I am going towards a viewing platform. It's said that we will get a good view of this area from there. So this is Mahu Lake.
We have come a long way for this. What a beautiful lake. Finally, we have seen such beautiful lakes in China as well. We will stop ahead for pictures and videos. The cities and villages here are totally different entities.
Here in villages, it feels like you have gone back in time. Everything has slowed down. And you are very relaxed. When you come here, it feels like you are in Asia.
When you go to the cities, it doesn't feel like you are in Asia. The infrastructure is amazing. Life here is chill and slow paced.
There are many tourist spots here like this one. To be honest, there has been a strange construction here along with the natural sites. You can say that real estate is the king here. Look at this beautiful lake. With huge concrete plazas along it. I don't understand anything.
The construction at certain places is so beautiful. It adds to the beauty of the place. All the buildings are built in a natural style according to the area. It is maintained. There is concrete everywhere.
We have come here with great effort. The navigation has fully guided us. Corns are being dried here as well. They have written something here. Let's park here.
I think this is a parking lot. People are drying corns here. I think this is the point of view. Mahu Lake is the most beautiful lake among all the lakes we have seen in China so far. The way to get here was amazing.
But it took us almost the whole day to reach here. We have to ride for about 60 km to reach Leibo, where we will stay for the night. The distance we covered today was normal for two days. We wanted to rest for a day. That's why we pushed our limits. We saw the Buddha in the morning as we woke up early.
That's why we didn't stay in the city. We have to reach Leibo from here; 60 km away. Andres is telling me that it will take us 1.5 hours to reach Laibo. Because it's a winding route throughout. But I think that riding in the dark is dangerous here.
So we hope to have a safe and enjoyable ride. It's almost sunset here. It's getting dark.
Let's leave from here and say goodbye to this beautiful lake. I am really scared of traveling at night in China. But may Allah have mercy on me. Sometimes you make mistakes when you are tired.
Or you can just make a stupid mistake anyway. These people ride a little faster. I have noticed that when I ride with them, I push myself to match their speed.
That's a dangerous scene. I told them to keep going. They will wait for me down there. When it gets dark, we will ride together.
Because it's better to travel as a team in the dark. We didn't come from here. Is it the correct route? We are going the wrong way. Looks like we are going to someone's house.
The people back there didn't even tell us that we took a wrong turn. It was muddy back there. Just managed to get out of that. We came from somewhere here. But there is no road here.
So I think that was the right way. Let's see where the navigation takes us. I think this is the wrong way. I was going in the wrong direction.
The good thing is that wherever we have been, 4G and 5G have always been available. We never faced internet problems. Be it a small or a big town, a village, a forest, a tourist spot it was everywhere. Welcome to Leibo City. The last 60 km of our ride had some crazy curves. Simply awesome Anyways, we are almost there.
Just another kilometer to go. That's why navigation estimated a time of 2 hours for these 60 km. I had an idea that this ride would be difficult. It was very difficult in the dark.
They use high beams here as well. Thank God I have Chinese lights; auxiliary. I wouldn't have been able to see anything without them.
I hope our hotel tonight is not far from the city. Otherwise, we will be in a lot of trouble. We won't be able to find anything to eat. We can see the city lights here and there. I think the hotel should be here.
There is no restaurant here. Nothing's here. I personally prefer to live in the city. The food options are good there.
You get a good breakfast in the morning. We won't get anything here. I slept almost hungry last night. Since we started this tour from Mongolia, it's the first time that we have had a little problem in the hotel.
Normally, when we travel in the morning, the tour guide gives us options about the hotels in that city. And we tell him the hotel we like in the price range. He books it for us. We pay and show him our documents. Today, he messaged me. We confirmed the hotel on WhatsApp.
But his VPN was not working. Our tour guide has been changed in Chengdu. The old one used to reply to our messages instantly. But this one's new.
Maybe that's why. He didn't get our confirmation messages. So when we reached here, there was no hotel reservation. They had room available but not at the price of 128 yuan that we booked.
So it was expensive. Let me show you the room. This is the entrance of our room. The washroom is very clean and bright. This is the shower. You can see our bedroom from the shower.
There is a mirror here. They have given us tea and coffee. There is a TV and a place to sit. The bed is very clean. Overall, the room is very good. We paid 250 yuan for this room.
It is about $35-40. I think we got the same price as in Chengdu. Anyway, let's go down and eat.
There is only one restaurant here. We have already ordered there. Tell me what you want. Tell me what you want. Shredded potatoes. Shredded potatoes.
Let me check. I will try my best. Yes. I ordered potatoes.
Thank you very much. We have a lot of problems with food here. If you come to a small city after 8 pm, most of the shops are closed. But if you go to a big city, you will get everything.
Today we have this. They are making fun of me. This is not spicy. Thank you. We ate fried rice this morning. We are still eating egg fried rice.
That's why they are smiling. Because we have a great meal today. Thank you very much. What is your English name? Apple.
Nice meeting you. He is translating for us. Our dinner was very interesting. Now it's time to rest.
I hope you liked today's vlog. I tried my best to show you this area. Remember me in your prayers. Do Like, Subscribe and Share.
