Travel Guides & Tips in this video

Jasminia and Mission explore Dali Old Town in Yunnan, walking through its streets toward a sunset lookout near the East and South Gate area. Jasminia first mistakes one gate for another, then they find a view with Tanga Mountain behind the town, clouds around the peaks, palm trees and a light breeze. They recommend staying inside the old town to avoid traffic and make it easier to walk between nearby streets and return for a rest. The episode also shares their domestic flight strategy: book two to three weeks ahead, use price alerts, compare fares with a snapshot from about one week before departure, and avoid peak holidays when prices rise. The pair taste sour and sweet varieties of Suan Jiao fruit, also called Swanja; one is sharply sour with a very soft interior. They try a sweeter variety with mint-lime soda, stop at a coffee shop run by their local friend Shia, mention Trip.com and setting up WeChat and Alipay before travel, introduce a new series, and invite viewers to follow daily TikTok updates.

“Don’t Let Me Go to Yunnan and Forget My Responsibilities: Ep1 – Sour Fruits and booking flights

A sunset view in Dali Old Town

Jasminia and Mission explore Dali Old Town during their Yunnan trip. They walk through the old town and look for a sunset viewpoint near the East and South Gate area. At first, Jasminia misidentifies a gate as the East Gate; they continue and find a view with Tanga Mountain behind the town. The scene includes surrounding mountains, palm trees and a light breeze, and the pair pause to take in the changing light and clouds.

They recommend staying inside the old town so travelers can avoid traffic bottlenecks, walk between nearby streets and return to their accommodation for a rest. The advice comes from their own experience of exploring the compact streets on foot. A local friend's coffee shop gives them a familiar place to stop and spend time with someone from the community. They also mention using Trip.com when arranging domestic travel and setting up WeChat and Alipay before a China trip.

Flight planning and Suan Jiao fruit

The episode shares a strategy for booking flights within China. Jasminia and Mission suggest booking two to three weeks ahead, setting price alerts and avoiding peak holidays when fares rise. They also recommend comparing prices with a snapshot from about one week before departure to understand the usual range.

The pair try Suan Jiao fruit, also called Swanja, and compare its sour and sweet varieties. One variety has an intense sour taste and a very soft interior; they also try a sweeter option. A mint-lime soda provides a refreshing pairing. Their visit includes a coffee stop at Shia's local shop, introduces a new travel series and invites viewers to follow daily TikTok updates. The episode brings together scenery, a fruit tasting, flight-planning advice and the slower rhythm of walking around Dali Old Town.
