I decided to visit Yanjin, Yunnan. I didn't fancy the 10-hour bus from Kunming so I flew in to Zhaotong airport which is the closest airport.

The train I was going to catch was a little bit weird because it sold tickets Zhaotong - Shuifu which is after my final destination, so I bought the ticket and I was just going to get off at Yanjin. When I arrived at the train station this morning the train was canceled. The ticket counter employee didn't help much so I went to ask for help to a Police guy, very friendly btw. After 15 minutes talking to this police guy his colleague came and took a picture of us. After lots of Google translating I ve realized my best option would be catching the bus.

I came to the Zhaotong bus station and bought a ticket to Yanjin. (Also very friendly) police guy at the metal detector took a picture of me and my passport.

Is it because nobody visits this town that police all of a sudden have an interest in me?

is it the same situation as on

I have a YT travel channel for the Brazilian public, will finish a 2 month China trip next week.

Although I do not do interviews in my channel, I would love to interview a Brazilian living in China or a resident who speaks Portuguese 🇨🇳🇵🇹🇦🇴

Comecei a SEMPRE usar playlists, pois meu canal é de viagens, e é bom a pessoa saber que "ei, tem mais vídeos sobre aquele país, assiste aí"

A minha dúvida se você tiver um delay de, por exemplo, dois meses, e nesse tempo o vídeo estiver em pendente, o que acontece se colocar aquele vídeo na playlist? Pois se a playlist é publica e o video é pendente, o usuário vai ver o quê?

Does it actually exist in Guangzhou? everywhere I go there is a problem: out of area, roads closed, out of working hours... what am I doing wrong?

I am sitting now at IFC and can literally get a car nowhere, doesn't matter what destination I choose

After figuring out that there is no English version unless you want items to be shipped abroad, I decided to try and purchase things on Taobao, totally using translator.

I am traveling in China and I have a local number.

I managed to log in with my local number, receive an SMS and create a profile without any problems.

The nightmare started when I started to browse the website, for us to block my account for half an hour, then for a full hour, and obviously I was using my laptop to be able to translate with the browser, so I decided to try downloading the app on my phone and trying there which I initially didn't want to do because I was afraid my phone is not from China so it wouldn't accept

Then the annoying pop-ups went away for a few hours and I managed to browse. Today I started trying again and it turns out that my account is blocked. they want me to insert a picture of my passport there.

Like, do they think they are a bank, or is it just part of the the country's policy of full control of the population?

But most importantly, does anyone know if after/if I decide to provide them with a passport picture, will they be satisfied, or pester me with something else?
