Little Chinese Everywhere. She was doing a series visiting every province of China. I think the latest ones are in Tibet and Xinjiang

Seconding this is an excellent channel. Season 2 is strictly inside PRC.

Her channel is especially good because locals show her really interesting local histories.
Like one subscriber on youtube asked her to find his ancestor's home, since the person was Chinese Malay and their ancestor left China for work and never returned centuries ago. She went to the village and asked around and quickly found a distant relative of the subscriber who was able to consult their family history books (which is apparently an extensive Han cultural practice) and found the current owners of the home.
Thanks for the highlight! This was a really interesting video.
I also like to clarify a thing you mention.
Chinese Malay
isn't really used in Malaysia unless specifically referring to someone who was raised by a Malay speaking parent (often muslim and male) and Chinese speaking parent. Two different racialised groups.
This is because of the racialised definition of "Malay" that came after British colonization. I elaborated more about it here. You were right to call them Chinese Malay if the anti-colonial forces in the country won, which would have radically returned the term "Malay" back to it's indigenous meaning or if they fit the description I laid out above.
However, nowadays, the government recognized term and how most people identify themselves as is "Chinese Malaysian". Chinese Peranakans (sometimes just Peranakans only) could also be an alternative term for Chinese people that have inter-married with local peoples earlier in the colonization process, but that usually refer to those that typically have lost their ability to speak Chinese and have families in Peninsular Malaysia that date back atleast a few generations and practice "Peranakan" or "Baba-Nyonya" customs.
Oh word I did not know the distinction, thanks for the context.
What an awesome story!

Katherine's Journey to the East. She travels across China on her bike and visits small, unknown towns. You get to experience the diverse places with her.
Ed Pratt has a series of videos where he unicycles through China!
Little Chinese Everywhere. I watched her video on Tulous but she has many others.
I think Barrett has some videos just strolling around the city. There is this young mexican couple (mexicanos en china) that do livestreams just exploring china cities and rural villages, its pretty cool but it is in spanish.
Living in China is always my go-to, especially for showing liberals the big bad bogeyman they're so afraid of.
he's so insufferable 😂 i love it
I've been seeing videos from Sabbatical. He's from the US and seems to understand China from a typical anticommunist worldview, but he's most likely well-meaning and respectful of Chinese people and culture.
No words, but Walk East on YouTube has great 4k videos of different Chinese locations.
