Attractions in this video: Huanglongxi Ancient Town, Luomu Ancient Town, Emei Mountain, Golden Summit, Golden Buddha Statue, Cloud Sea, Tibetan Macaques
Katherine, an American living in China for eight years, takes her parents on a return trip through Sichuan and Gansu provinces with her Chinese husband. The adventure kicks off in Huanglongxi Ancient Town, where the family stays in a cozy inn with a bird that accidentally flew in and was set free. The parents love the traditional architecture, old photos, and the chance to play their 70-year-old family board game, Dixit, in scenic spots. Katherine's mom hunts for knickknacks, and they enjoy people-watching.
Next, they explore the lesser-known Luomu Ancient Town, delighting in its obscurity and lack of tourist tchotchkes. They spot a 180-year-old tree, a man clipping his nails while smoking, and try a delicious meat pocket. The journey then focuses on Emei Mountain, home to over a thousand Tibetan macaques notorious for snatching snacks. The family stays in a hotel three-quarters of the way up, chosen for its fewer bad reviews, and plays more board games to the sound of a babbling brook. The highlight comes during a stroll when a monkey boldly grabs a bubble tea from a tourist, causing Katherine to yell at her parents to zip up pockets and hide phones.
The next morning, they take a giant cable car to the Golden Summit at 3,000 meters, where the misty cloud sea and golden Buddha statue leave Katherine's parents awestruck. They rate the experience a perfect 10 out of 10, despite the stairs. Katherine reflects on how her parents, once reluctant to travel abroad, now embrace China's wonders, from random villages to high scenic mountains. The video ends with a teaser for upcoming adventures in northern Sichuan and Gansu, including visits with the in-laws.
