Beautiful video! Love those little cute fish coming out of the mud! This island city is really fantastic!. The Catholic church at the top of the hill is so romantic and the temple spectacular. Wow delicious vegetarian buffet! Thank you Katherine for showing us this beautiful place. Take care 🪻💕🍀
Aysajan is just a big kid full of curiosity😂As I know, they've been breeding salmon in Xinjiang for several years, in some sort of farms under the mountains, similar to those in New Zealand. When I was student, I spent a weekend in the mount Putuo, one of the best, a life experience, young and fearless, sitting on the beach through the night and waiting for the sunset. the view is breathtaking, and the ambience is just memorable. Just want to be there again some day! 10:51, the guy sitting in the mini tent🤣
What a beautiful bustling spot! Well worth the trip I think. China is great when you head off the beaten path - like you did finding a cool spot like a park to explore 😊
Katherine, you deserve to know the actual name for "the little creatures on the roofs" since you are so into them! They are called 脊兽 in architecture. The exact type and the number of them followed a strict rule depending on the social status of the building - imperial buildings that are directly used by the imperor can have up to 9 of them, while his extended family can have up to 7. If I'm not mistaken, temples can have up to 5 but there could be exceptions to this in remote areas where “天高皇帝远” was more prevalent :P
@@Pokingthebear999 there is a Wikipedia aritcle about it. it's short. but it should give you a basic understanding of it. search for "Imperial Roof Decoration".
@@Pokingthebear999 It denotes the ranking or the status of the building. The more the higher in status. Generally there are 3, 5, 7, or 9 mythical animal statues on the roofs, and the order is also fixed. It has Immortal riding bird, nine mythical animals like Phoenix, Lion, Sea Horse, Heavenly Steed, Suan Ni, Ya Yu, Xie Zhi, Dou Niu.
Katherine sees China as her second hometown. I have watched almost all the videos. She gets herself totally involved in our society. She lets me learn a lot what I never have a chance to access!
Your videos are so consistently good. Where do you get your music? The musical score lifts the video to another level. All in all , a Great Effort We have been to China but not in the way you have. Getting outside of those major cities gives you a better understanding of daily life in rural China. What they care about. Congrats to 130k subscribers . All the best 🙏👍🙏 Jim and Harriet Richmond, VA.
OMG, catching another of your interesting videos just 2 minutes after you uploaded it. Your mastery of the Chinese language is an inspiration for me. There are loads mudskippers on mudflats when the tide goes out in my old hometown. The Tanka people (Sea Gypsies) of Hong Kong are superstitious folks. When they flip over a fish to get to the flesh underneath, they say "Next door's!" meaning the neighbour's boat!😂 So, did the captain of the sinking boat go down with it??
Những người đánh bắt hải sản chuyên nghiệp khi ăn cá sẽ không bao giờ lật con cá trên dĩa, thay vào đó họ sẽ ăn hết một bên con cá rồi gỡ lấy phần xương bỏ ra ngoài, tiếp tục ăn phần bên kia của con cá. Hầu hết những người đi biển điều mê tín, họ có rất nhiều điều tối kị như sẽ không bao giờ nhắc đến các từ kém may mắn như "lật", "úp", "nghiêng"...thật sự những người đi biển là những người cực kỳ dũng cảm, nhưng trong thâm tâm họ vẫn có một nổi sợ hãi "bà mẹ thiên nhiên".
This is so "Hong Kong", with the fishing villages and boat people, hundred year old Catholic churches and even older Buddhism temples coexist peacefully. Beaches and mountains. Peoples from all walks of life. You help me to appreciate my hometown so much more.
The Buddha Island is definitely a must-visit place. All the vegetarian meals are tasty, strongly recommend the one in Putuo Temple. I visited the island in the fall and was amazed by the delicious tangerines grown there. They were the best I've ever tasted!
the tide used to submerge the mud flats along the Fuchun river, and those mud fish would all line up and walk across the road to the nearest rice field. some of them contributed to our seafood porridge.
Fun story about those little creatures on roofs (8:35). I think they are called 屋脊六兽 which roughly translates into "six creatures on the edge of roofs". When I was a little kid, whenever my grandpa saw me sitting around doing nothing, he'll say that I look as idle as the 屋脊六兽. So now, whenever I see those creatures, grandpa always comes to mind. I've never been to Zhoushan & Putuo and very much hope to visit some time. Thanks for another great video!
As someone who absolutely loves seafood, yes, this fish market is totally a paradise. Love the humor at the beginning of the video, even though it was based on a boat actually sinking!
When I was a child, I liked to go to the fish selling area in the market. It was like an aquarium, and some bosses even allowed me to touch their crabs. My parents asked me to go to the market with them to buy groceries after school, and I always spend time negotiating with them about whether to go to the fish selling area today. For a long time, my parents thought I loved to eat fish very much.
@@kats_journey_east Haha, Lobster. My cousin and I once discussed who would win if Lobster and Crab got into a fight, but so far there has been no result. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.😆
Kathy, Thanks for this video! I went to Shanghai several times but missed going to Putuoshan. I hope you can make videos of Ermeishan or Wudangshan. Love you and your videos!
WOW!!! Incredible videos. Be honest I fall in love with your amazing videos. Just focus on how I can explore incredible China as soon as possible. Sending love and hugs from India 🇮🇳 ❤🤗
when you are visiting PuTuo Shan, the best thing you will do is swiming and floating in the ocean. The water is warm and salty so you can even sleep and swim for hours without being afraid of sinking.
Thanks for taking us on a trip to this obscure unheard of but very interesting island. From Wikipedia: The transportation condition in Zhoushan has been improved largely during recent years, especially after the opening of Zhoushan Trans-Oceanic Bridges in 2009, which established a stable corridor connecting to the continent and converted Zhoushan into a peninsula per se. Due to geographical isolation, Zhoushan is the only one of the municipalities in Zhejiang Province which is not served with rail transportation.
China’s commitment to little guys on their buildings is unmatched, I have just as much fun spotting them in your videos as you do :) I’m sure it’s a very interesting experience to see Christian churches in the East, love seeing how their architectural style is so similar yet entirely different from those here in the west.
From the end of the Ming Dynasty, when Catholicism was introduced into China, there were many religious fishermen in the south of the Yangtze River and along the coast.
Zhoushan is the hometown of the former owner of the world known shipping company, OOCL" Oriental Overseas Container Line." His son Mr Tung Chee Hwa was the 1st governor of Hong Kong SAR after 1997 British handover Hongkong to China.
it is very convenient to take shipyards to reach Mount Putuo. Putuo is very famous among Chinese and is a holy mountain and blessed land for Guanyin in Buddha.
Wow.. just wow! Thank you so much for the Tour again. Amazing views & beautiful places too, I enjoy watching it. & for Aysajan go for the Gold in Olympic for that swing gymnastic, better luck next time!.. Again Thank you Katherine.. Looking forward to watch your vlog here in USA.
Nice to see catholic churches and buddhist temples coexsiting. So much zen everywhere. And very surprised at the nice beach. Buddha Island now on my list to visit.
Curiosity: Originally, the British wanted this city to be their colony, because it was already a very known port, but they got Xianggang (Hong Kong) instead.
Really neat video! I’m a new subscriber working my way through your channel, and I just wanted to say I really appreciate the way you film these, it feels like being taken on a personal tour of each location by a friend. 🙂 Adding Zhoushan to my China Bucket list!
Thank you for showing us this amazingcountry, Chinese culture and architecture are fascinating!
What a hidden gem Katherine, thanks!! ❤❤
阳离子最近精神面貌好多了，感谢艾萨江同学💖
Let's just say she has an interesting taste on men.
跟别的男的啪啪啪 气色好了
我以为她这种明显心理年龄远超生理年龄的女人会喜欢霸道总裁呢，结果喜欢一个软绵绵，甚至有点孩子气的男人😅
祝愿姑娘
回国顺风 与 家人好好团圆团圆 💖
中国家这的大门 随时为妳而开
中秋快乐阳离子，关注你4年了，你在中国🇨🇳经历了很多，祝你越来越好，加油⛽

Beautiful place
We just came back from Zhoushan not too long ago. Absolute hidden gem! ❤❤
Another beautiful travel vlog as usual. Thank you Kat. 💙💙
今年就开车自驾游（南京出发）到舟山2次了，现在舟山群岛的几个主要岛屿都建设道路大桥通公路，很方便！！！我们第一次开车从上海方向过来，经过杭州湾跨海大桥，正好是下午日落时候，真的漂亮啊，日落+绚丽的晚霞+大海+跨海大桥！！

Love you and your videos!
Glad to watch your vidieo hear
Quite interesting 👍👍
Liverpool UK is a city port and we don't have a seafood market and very little seafood in the supermarkets and we are an island, such poverty
"Good bye comrade." immediately followed by Amazing Grace. :D One of the many reasons I like this channel.
What a beautiful temple! You did an amazing job capturing the beauty of this place❤
阳离子 is filming so good.
Some of the music from the temples sound similar to the music in Wukong. The temples are active.

"Mudskippers" - those funny looking fishies
Another curiosity: Putuo Island is home to a very old species of tree. There is only one tree of it, and it's located there. It's 200 years old.
what beautiful scenery and cultures of the mind and body are demonstration in this video Thanks. looking forward to the home stories.

you should watch the documentary in cinema "the Lisbon Maru", it happened in Zhoushan
Oh thats my hometown, I miss her so much 😄
在杭州可以考虑买个车，几万就够了，江浙沪基本2~3小时车程，可以把自行车固定在车顶到地再骑行，很方便的。
Good vlog, keep filming, 加油。
What a beatiful little spot. Is there a background story behind the turtle sculpture? Have a nice flight to the USA!
Love this video and Kath.
