They also try the local seafood, particularly praising the fish, and even venture into the adventurous realm of sandworms, a local delicacy.

They also connect with nature, expressing their joy at finally seeing cows after a long wait. The video ends with a visit to a local theme park, showcasing traditional local culture, including the lion dance, and even shows Jiayi's surprising talent for braiding. The video consistently highlights the stone dogs, a symbol of the ancient Yue culture, found throughout the city and villages.
