Andrei is a travel blogger from Russia with a goal: to roam across all of China.
Starting in the northeast, he heads south: Harbin's ice and snow, Beijing's hutongs, Jiangnan water towns, Yunnan's rainforests, the Tibetan plateau. China's diversity means he can never finish seeing it, he says.
His videos carry human warmth: chatting with street performers, helping fishermen pull nets, joining ethnic festivals. He is not satisfied with "seeing scenery" — he wants to "meet people".
China is a country you can never finish traveling, he says. From Moscow to China, his journey continues — the next stop always unknown.
Andrei is a Russian traveller who has walked across China, filming local customs everywhere. "China is a country you can never finish walking."
His journey: from northern snowfields to southern islands, eastern bustle to western vastness. He prefers back roads and small towns.
Content: "a Russian traveller in China", "how different are north and south China", "beauties that have no name on maps" - a unique angle.
Going viral: his "in China I found places vaster than Siberia" video spread - standing on Inner Mongolia grassland; viewers: "you made China so beautiful."
Observations: "the most fascinating thing about travelling China is diversity - one country holding snow mountains, deserts, oceans and terraces."
Significance: an international traveller who has covered China - showing Russian audiences its vastness and colour.
Plans: visiting every Chinese province, drawing "Andrei China footprint map".
For readers: his videos make you proud of China scale - this land deserves a lifetime of walking.
He summarises his "China travel kit": a phone (payments and navigation solved), a thermos (hot water everywhere), and one "xiè xie" (useful everywhere). "These three make travelling China feel like coming home." His favourite way to travel is green-skin trains - "they are slow, but full of stories." He is learning Chinese folk songs, planning to sing one in Chinese at his hundredth city.
His China travels taught him: "do not learn China with your ears; walk it with your feet" - "many misunderstandings about China dissolve once you walk." He is editing a feature film called Walking Through China. "I hope one day my Russian friends watch it and say, we want to go too." His lens is paving a road of people-to-people friendship between the two countries.
"China is huge, but not bigger than human feet - I am still walking, and invite you along."
"My next stop is Mohe - I want to see the northernmost sky of China."
"If someone asks whether China is worth visiting, my answer is one word - go."
"My China footprint map covers a wall - the next pin goes to Mohe."
