Entering The World's Narrowest City
进入世界上最狭窄的城市
Welcome to Yanin, China - the narrowest city in the world! This place is AWESOME!
More than 100,000 people call this unique city home, living in high-rise buildings along a narrow strip of land between steep mountains and the polluted brown River. It’s truly mind-blowing to see how Yanin has adapted to its natural environment, with its residents making the most of every inch of space available. The towering mountains in every direction make it feel as though the city is trapped in a stunning, yet challenging, landscape. In all of my travels, I've never seen anything like this!
欢迎来到中国延津——世界上最窄的城市！这个地方太棒了！
这座独特的城市是10多万人的家园，他们住在陡峭山脉和污染的棕色河流之间狭窄地带的高层建筑中。延津人民适应自然环境，居民们充分利用每一寸可用空间，真是令人兴奋。四面八方高耸的山脉让人觉得这座城市被困在一个令人惊叹但具有挑战性的景观中。在我所有的旅行中，我从未见过这样的画面！
Also - this is my first time visiting rural China, and I have to admit, it’s been a refreshing change from the hustle and bustle of massive cities like Beiing or Shanghai. The slower pace, tight-knit community, and the way life carries on here, despite the obvious limitations, have been truly eye-opening.
Mainland China is full of surprises, and Yanin is just one of the many hidden gems that I've discovered on this 18 day trip.
此外，这是我第一次访问中国农村。不得不承认，与北京或上海等大城市的喧嚣相比，这是一个令人耳目一新的画面。尽管存在明显的局限性，但这里生活节奏缓慢、拥挤的社区和生活方式确实令人大开眼界。
中国大陆充满了惊喜，延津只是我在这次18天的旅行中发现的许多隐藏的宝藏之一

Fact： This river is not polluted, It was the sand brought by the flood has been deposited in the river, when the flow is fast and the sand is turned up, the river water turns yellow, when the flow is slow, it turns back to green, you can find video show it was green change to yellow in one day.
那条河没有被污染，是洪水带来的沙子沉积在河里，当水流湍急，沙子翻起时，河水会变黄，当水流缓慢时，它会变回绿色

中国是一个不同层次的国家。从农村到现代城市，一切都融为一体。从历史建筑到高科技建筑。中国是伟大的

Maybe because its so big, you know... of course its different than other mostly smaller countries.
也许是因为中国太大了，你知道的。当然，它与其他大多数较小的国家不同。

The river isn’t polluted, LOL. The color comes from rain washing dirt down from the mountains, and since the river flows so fast, the dirt doesn’t have time to settle.
这条河没有被污染，哈哈。山上被雨水冲刷下来的泥土，染黄了河水，而且由于河水流得太快，泥土没有时间沉淀。

I was having a political discussion online and many American started calling me Chinese because of my South east Asian feature. They were pissed they couldn't win a logical discussion with me. Some assumed I did not speak English despite our discussion were all in English. They probably don't know I speak 7 other language. One even said go back to china. I did not find that offensive because I know how great the Asian people and culture are. Videos like this can open peoples eyes and mind. Thank you.
我在网上进行了一场政治讨论，看到我的东南亚长相，许多美国人开始称我为中国人 。他们很生气，根本就没有办法理性讨论。尽管我们的讨论都是用英语进行的，但有些人认为我不会说英语。他们可能不知道我还会说7种语言。
有人甚至叫我滚回中国。我没有觉得这很冒犯，因为我知道亚洲人民和文化有多伟大。这样的内容，可以打开人们的眼睛和心灵。非常感谢。

I adore China.....Billions of people need somewhere safe and clean to live, They build high rises in amazing locations just so this is possible. The Chinese people are just thankful to have a clean place to call home.
我喜欢中国。数十亿人需要一个安全干净的地方居住，他们在令人惊叹的地方建造高层建筑，就是为了居者有其屋。
中国人很感激有一个干净的家。

当然。特别是考虑到四十年前中国是一个非常贫穷的国家。

Fantastic cinematography. The first time I saw this city was on a Facebook post and I just assumed it was some AI fake.
我第一次看到这座城市是在脸书上的一篇帖子上，我当时以为这是人工智能制作的！

Unbelievable! Mr. Binskey! I lived on the upscale side of Yanin in the same kind of school-provided flats for the 3 foreigners who were all there to teach English. )2001-2002) I walked the same bustling streets , ate wonderful street foods as you did, and took the same nearly treacherous hike as you. The warmth you found was true for us/me as well. Thank you for taking me home some 22 years later.
难以置信！我住在盐津的高档小区，学校为3名在当地教英语的外国人提供的公寓。2001年至2002年，我和你一样走在盐津繁华的街道上，吃着美味的街头食品，还和你一样进行了几乎危险的徒步旅行。你发现的温暖，我们也感受过了。谢谢你22年后带我回家。
