Hi~I'm Rilla from China and I'm a journalist & traveller! I'm currently on a mission to travel along China's borders!
I want to share everything I see and experience—the good and the bad—to help you understand China & Asia better.

Ladies and gentlemen, 大家好!
Long time no see! I know I’ve been away from YouTube for two months, but I’m back on my journey along China’s border!
This time, I’m going to try a completely new way of traveling! I’ve been preparing for it for nearly two months! I’m super excited to share it with you all!
The new video will be released on Sep 10 at 10:00 PM Beijing Time. Stay tuned, and let’s get on the journey!

Hey guys, greetings from Beijing!🇨🇳
It’s been a while since we last met, but my new video is finally being uploaded on the channel!! 🔥
Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSms3...
My grandma has been sick and is currently in the hospital. I love her deeply — she’s the one who raised me since I was a child. 😭Because of this, my journey had to be paused for a while.
So today’s video is a little different from my previous ones. It’s also my first time stepping out of my comfort zone and trying something new. I’d really appreciate your support, feedback, and advice!
But don’t worry… the China border journey is far from over! I’ll be back on the road in less than a month (hopefully my grandma will recover soon....).
Thank you all for your understanding and support. 🌏

Hi everyone! My new video is finally out! 🔥🇨🇳🇷🇺
This time I traveled all the way to China's easternmost border town to witness the China's first sunrise—and even stumbled upon an abandoned Russian military camp?!
It was a long journey, but it was absolutely worth it. I'd really appreciate your support! 😊

Hello~My new video is coming soon! I've left the China–North Korea border and am about to unbox another fascinating border region of China! Any guesses where I'm heading next? I'd appreciate your support!

Hi everyone ❤️

First, I'm truly thrilled to tell you: I finally got my YPP issue solved, and today I'm officially monetized! 🙌Thank you!!
When I started making videos one year ago, I never imagined this day would come(I am quite an introverted person. It was really hard for me to make a video at first — let alone a video in English.) I hope I can keep making videos that are worth your time!!

Second, as I promised in my 10k Q&A, I will send small gifts (North Korean currency books souvenir) to two friends. I read all your comments — they were all amazing! every comment was great! So finally, I still decided to pick @2121ANKITA and @spookysauro based on engagement. Could you two please DM me your address on Instagram? 🙏

Third, I'm really sorry — the next video is not finished yet, so there won't be a video tomorrow. I just can't bring myself to serve you junk food. The next video is about another border region on the China-North Korea border. I actually went there once, 4 years ago(look at my stupid photo from 4 years ago, haha) .This time it's my second visit, so I have so many stories to tell.— stay tuned ❤️

Also, my plan is to complete a journey along China's entire border and document real life along the way. So after maybe one or two more videos along the China-North Korea border, I'll move on to the China-Russia border. I truly hope you'll love those stories too — not just the North Korean border ones.
Thank you for being here. You mean the world to me!!!
Love,
Rilla

Hey guys
First, I want to thank you all so much for your support and likes — thanks to you, I finally reached the YouTube Partner Program requirements two weeks ago (1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours!!)!!谢谢!
I truly couldn’t have done it without you guys, and I never imagined I could have so many online friends from all over the world!
But I also want to share some unfortunate news: after a long wait, YouTube still disapproved my AdSense application, saying I may have duplicate AdSense accounts… even though this is truly my first time applying for one.
So I’ve spent the past few days searching online, asking Youtube and trying to figure it out, but I still haven’t been able to solve it….
Because of that, today’s upload won’t be the full episode — instead, it’ll be a lighter behind-the-scenes video featuring some more casual stories from a North Korean border town. I hope you enjoy it too!
P.S. Have any of you run into the same YouTube problem? If you have any advice or suggestions, please let me know — I really need help 😭😭😭
Love
Rilla
