Exploring coastal Fujian with my friends from Kashgar, Xinjiang - on the first day of the year of the dragon! Unique local lion dance, funny encounters with strangers, and of course lots of beach footage coming up, don't miss out 🐲

Aysajan was a great tour guide during my visit to Xinjiang and I am doing my best to return the favor, even though I'm not from Fujian LOL, hope you guys enjoy this series! In the upcoming videos Aysajan, Mehmeti, and I will be exploring more beaches in Xiamen, experiencing fascinating local CNY traditions in Zhangzhou, and touring tulou "dirt fortress homes" in Longyan, stay tuned!

This video was filmed with a combination of 2 different cameras, GoPro Hero 11 (selfie/widescreen shots) and Sony ZV1 (pretty much everything else)

This camera is the secret to how I get such stable footage even while biking and walking 🚴‍♀️ She's waterproof, shoots in 4K, and is very tiny and portable as well as extremely easy to use
SONY: https://amzn.to/3RybfiU
This camera is my B-roll queen, she nails the perfect lighting and focus to get beautiful shots to bring my videos to the next level 📷
