Jasminia Gough livestreams an evening walk in Xiasi Town, Guizhou, on March 7, 2025. She says the small ancient town is unusually quiet, with few visitors and only a handful of places open at night. She shows the water, wooden streets, lanterns, a bridge with bright lights, boats and older buildings; the transcript includes a sign for an academy, but its name is unclear. She chose to stay in town because the journey onward would otherwise involve a long transfer day. She estimates the nearby city is about 10 km away and the train station about 7 km from town; reaching the train station can involve a bus and then another bus or taxi, and she says the taxi ride from the area is nearly an hour. She reports paying A$30 for her room and says the evening temperature is about 8 degrees. To communicate with hotels and businesses, she uses WeChat messages and translation; she says many restaurants use QR-code menus that can be ordered through WeChat. She prefers entering an address in DiDi rather than explaining it to a taxi driver. She finds few dinner options open late and eventually chooses a stir-fry. She says the town she is walking through has no entrance fee and advises visitors to step over, rather than onto, a raised beam at a temple entrance. The video is an extended livestream with audience conversation; the uncertain academy name and promotional mentions are omitted.
