The Other Side Of China You Don’t Get To See. This was filmed by Blackman Da Traveller. Watch the full journey and explore the filming details and destinations on this page.

In this travel vlog, I will show you the other side of China we don't get to see, when you think of China you think about food, busy cities, mega buildings, right?. Well, look no further, I will highlight what it's really like to be in China from my perspective. What you will see is being in China for the first time. I decided to go to a part of China where many tourists don't visit, a place called Kashgar. Kashgar is a city in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, in China's far west. This region is less traveled by tourists for many reasons, but I will get the chance to meet locals and try some Uyghur food. I also had the chance to go to a traditional Uyghur wedding. I was lucky to meet some local girls who said I can experience a cultural Uyghur wedding in this region of China, so I got the chance to show people through what I filmed, a part of China what people don't get a chance to see.

Travel Guides & Tips in this video

Blackman Da Traveller's unplanned trip in Kashgar begins with a wrongly booked flight that gives him another day to explore. He meets travelers from Pakistan and shares cheese paratha, then walks through city streets, observes street dogs and scooters, and tries local chicken and juice. Wanting to see more than tourist areas, he asks residents how to reach a village by bus. There he meets local girls and receives an unexpected invitation to a Uyghur wedding. The ceremony lasts for hours and offers a close look at hospitality and local life. The video follows spontaneous encounters, conversations across a language barrier, and a quieter village setting beyond the city.

An extra day in Kashgar

Blackman Da Traveller's planned departure from Kashgar changes when he realizes his flight was booked incorrectly. The mistake gives him an extra day to explore. He meets fellow travelers from Pakistan and shares local food, including cheese paratha, which he has not eaten for two years. He walks through the city, watches street life, and notices dogs and scooters. A stop at a local chicken shop and a taste of local juices add to the day.

Blackman wants to see more than the main tourist areas, so he asks local people how to find a bus to a less-visited village. He negotiates the language barrier through conversations and help from people he meets. The bus ride takes him away from the busier city streets and gives him time to observe a quieter setting.

A wedding invitation in the village

In the village, Blackman meets local girls and is unexpectedly invited to a traditional Uyghur wedding. At first, people are curious about his presence, but they gradually welcome him into the celebration. The ceremony lasts for hours and becomes the most memorable part of the trip. The video shows the lively festivities and the warmth of people who allow a visitor to observe an important event.

He reflects on how little he expected this invitation and how spontaneous encounters changed the itinerary. The village feels peaceful and quiet compared with Kashgar, and he enjoys seeing everyday life and interacting with children. He describes trying new food, meeting residents, and learning through conversation despite limited shared language. His advice is to remain open to unexpected turns, local transportation, and spontaneous invitations. The vlog presents the wedding and village visit as one personal experience, with the city walk, shared meal, and bus trip setting the scene for it.
