Venus explores China in her latest vlog

With the year's Grand Slams finished, those who don't follow tennis closely might think the season is complete after the US Open. That's incorrect as the tour continues in Asia and so Venus Williams took her YouTube followers with her out east.

The seven-time Grand Slam champion started her journey in Wuhan, China. She explored the city's cuisine, the Chinese Hydrobiology Center, spoke with Li Na, and enjoyed everything the city had to offer.

Next up was Beijing, a city that will always be special for Venus. It's where the world No. 53 won her third gold medal in doubles with sister Serena at the Summer Olympics in 2008.

The 39-year-old got in some great cross training at the Great Wall of China in between tournaments in Beijing and Tianjin. She then sang her heart out during a karaoke session.

Even though Venus had a rough time on court, falling in her Wuhan and Tianjin openers and the second round in Beijing, it looks like she made the most of her time in China.
