The quite amusing scene is that the 90-year-old granny suddenly put on a serious face and asked a most vibe-changing philosophical question: what’s the point of longevity. Fortunately, 阳离子 offered an adequately shrewd answer that melted the ice on granny’s face.
What a great place. China is full of such wonderful places. And you are such a charming and intelligent host. The way you answered the 90 year old lady’s question was spot on.
Cool! You're finally in Longmen village! Yeah, the rice fields surrounding the village, the ducks in the nearby streams, it's all so beautiful! You can also feel the warmth of the people in the buildings here that are very lived-in. They also still have "night fragrance dumpers" (night soil carriers) which surprised me when i first visited. Also those white bricks i think are dried bricks of sweet potato starch (红薯淀粉). There's plenty of recipes for uses of sweet potato starch, especially for chewy mochi-like sweets or for making noodles. and yep, this isn't just any emperor's village of origin, this is Sun Quan's ancestral home, one of the three kings of the Three Kingdoms era. The central building in that cluster is their ancestral worship ci-tang shrine for the Sun 孙 family name.
I was fascinated by this blog of an ANCIENT town and how it continues to be alive. So many things to discover with you. Thank you for consistently making these blogs to share about China today. With your busy life, I don't know how you can maintain your immaculate, beautiful fingernails!
Some of the wines, though called wines, are not for drinking, but for rubbing on your joints, or bruises from martial arts practice or sport injuries. Interesting village, interesting video. 👍
My first working place was located in Fuyang. I stayed there for several years after I finished my college time. I know that place well. And I also understand the local dialect. That was my best time in there.
Kath, interesting video! Watching it, I began to imagine what I would do if I were in a similar small village. I suppose there are many interesting things to see and do in such a quiet place, but I think it's more suitable for a weekend getaway for some quiet time rather than long-term residence.
the badminton business is just one of the millions businesses in villages in Zhejiang. each has one item to make. then a lot of them sell in Yiwu's huge market where all kind of international buyers come to buy those stuffs.
What a lovely place! Glad you got the answer to 'how to eat chalk', no answer to how the child knew the prices of guns though. My weeks are always improved when your videos come up.
番薯做出来的，她说的拿番薯打碎成粉，再冲水晒干成淀粉做成这个！怕你不明白，我再用英文说一遍, The old lady said they smash the sweet potato into powder then washed it, get rid of the waste, then dry it you will get these white food. Basicly it's sort of like a starch thing.
10:40 I disagree. In the US, pulling out a toy gun can get you killed. My kids never had one. You just never know what kind of games kids will play and know what real gun owners would do in the name of safety. It is hard to tell what is real or not in a flash of time.
It’s pretty in the middle of nowhere but not THAT in the middle of nowhere 🤪 I didn’t see any that day but some villagers told me they have seen foreign visitors there before
The emperor's dynasty preceded the thousand years old village by a millennium, guess if you want to get hitched within the confine of village the genealogy record has to be consulted to see how many times you're removed from each others? I was told same surnames matrimonials are frowned upon in old country precisely bc of non updated/existent ancestral records. Old woman appears boastfully proud of her longevity and looks like she doesn't like being🌨❄😂too early. Your namesake ukrainian counterpart farther south annually harvested the white chalky stuff so recognised it after 2nd viewing. Do cats lose their feline annoying mating calls when neutered ? definitely save waking me up from deep sleep and countless wild life

❤❤❤
I would have frozen hahahaha
我觉得这个奶奶在凡尔赛
這個奶奶很驕傲😊❤
Great answer by the way!👍
看這集，怎麼感覺妳氣色變好了，人也更美了
She's might just be the most humble Miss.modelo.DIGITAL and heartwarming person to exist🌹
I really liked those ancient little villages built in traditional architectures and their way of life! Thanks for sharing.
What a great place. China is full of such wonderful places. And you are such a charming and intelligent host. The way you answered the 90 year old lady’s question was spot on.
Wow, the Sun family share the same surname with Sun Tzu. That's so cool!
also Sun Quan the emperor of the 3 kingdoms fame . He came from this village.
😋
@@nanyanguo1so, it's more than a thousand years old village. 1800++ years to be exact. 😮😮😮
Villagers named Sun.
Kids playing with guns.
Enjoying fried buns.
You had loads of fun! :D
Kathy, you're simply the very best I've seen in this genre. Charming, innovative, relaxed. Keep it up, please!
Great find Katherine!What a unique and long lasting city/ village from the Sung Dynasty! 👍

Wow! So much history and interesting things! Sweet potato starch: Not lotus root starch?
Katherine Mandarin is so GOOD.
Almost like a local 😂😂💪💪
" ya all" i love it. You can take the girl out of the south, but you can't take the south out of the girl!"
Thanks Katherine for showing us this quirky ancient town

What a beautiful town, thanks for taking us on a dreamy trip!
你不知道的那个白色块状的物体叫做 番薯粉，就是一种淀粉，可用于做菜，也可以做配料，我小时候农村里的人都会做，现在做的人很少很少了！
冬天來咯，陽離子美女有興趣去東北哈爾濱那邊拍視頻嗎？還是繼續在江南玩？😊❤
“Enough about guns, let’s talk about buns.” Best transition
Very interesting village, friendly and welcoming...God bless Katherine 🙏
I am the 2nd to view the video ....wow🎉
Some of the wines, though called wines, are not for drinking, but for rubbing on your joints, or bruises from martial arts practice or sport injuries.
Interesting village, interesting video. 👍
阳离子，很多地方有这样的做法，大米，番薯，葛根之类的植物根部磨粉，把水去掉，晒干，就是蕃薯/葛根/蕨根粉了，希望帮到你理解这个
What a beautiful, quaint village! Love this :) ❤
My first working place was located in Fuyang. I stayed there for several years after I finished my college time. I know that place well. And I also understand the local dialect. That was my best time in there.
Wow, a 1,000-year-old village seems like an easygoing and affordable place to live.
Kath, interesting video! Watching it, I began to imagine what I would do if I were in a similar small village. I suppose there are many interesting things to see and do in such a quiet place, but I think it's more suitable for a weekend getaway for some quiet time rather than long-term residence.
I'd really love to see you talk in Mandarin with Adam and Hailey! Your Madarin accents are totally different tho you are all Americans!
这是我距离阳离子最近的一次。距离杭州2小时的城市。
Thanks
Thanks for supporting the channel ❤️
Great info
the badminton business is just one of the millions businesses in villages in Zhejiang. each has one item to make. then a lot of them sell in Yiwu's huge market where all kind of international buyers come to buy those stuffs.
Still the first?? Where's the comments? 🤣
Anyway, loved this one too. Very nice old place I could retire into.
Well preserved too.
Simple, rustic, quiet and a safe environment 😂😂
very interesting
a interesting ancient town
What a lovely place! Glad you got the answer to 'how to eat chalk', no answer to how the child knew the prices of guns though. My weeks are always improved when your videos come up.
👍👍👍
阳离子离我最近的一次😂我就在龙门旁边的富阳
So nice❤
我有朋友在龙门有个相机博物馆，可以去看看
红薯粉，可以做粉条吃
Wonder when I can travel like this...hopefully not when I can still move around healthily.
陽離子 晚上好🌠🤗
晚上好🌛
12:15 圆脸猫好可爱
You can call that badminton operation… a racquet
14：26这个画好好玩
This episode's shooting style reminds me of Miriam Collin. What happens to the interview with her that you promised while back? Almost December now.
3：40 红薯淀粉 sweet potato starch
They used to be popular I had one
番薯做出来的，她说的拿番薯打碎成粉，再冲水晒干成淀粉做成这个！怕你不明白，我再用英文说一遍, The old lady said they smash the sweet potato into powder then washed it, get rid of the waste, then dry it you will get these white food. Basicly it's sort of like a starch thing.
這個古鎮，比那些賣門票的，有意思太多了😊
1:14 “景区入口”四字。门票60块喔。
阳离子真是有一双发现美好事物的眼睛，要是没你的讲解，我会觉得这个地方有些不伦不类杂乱无章。我现在在国外上学，之后旅行我也想学你多去感受每个地方独特的风土人情，而不仅仅是名誉世界的建筑
Is that sweet potato starch (used for thickening)?
这是哪里？龙门古镇吗？
the grandma says it's made of sweet potatoes.It's sweet potato flour,红薯粉
那个白色的东西就是番薯榨出来的东西，通常再加工过就是粉丝了，在浙江你应该吃过番薯粉丝。
那个白色的是红薯淀粉。
😆grannie having some serious existential crisis! Guess how old I am!! Guess!!! What's the point!!!!!!!
那是淀粉，番薯中提取出来的。
❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Batminton rackets: 5:11 I also see tennis rackets. What about pickleball paddles?! The hottest sport in North America, so to be in China!!
白色的那种是地瓜淀粉。
that grandma doesn't look like 90 years old at all! my guess would be 72
Agreed, to my Chinese eyes, my wild guess is around 80
Oh, now I see some comments.
"Okay, enough about guns, let's talk about buns."
I feel like these kinds of statements could bring about world peace.
The video is somewhat short and needs to be extended as I haven't had enough.
Church in China, very nice.
So close , but still it is a pity not posting the first comment.
Are your parents coming to visit (or stay for ever) you in China? Happy American Thanksgiving!
hopefully they are coming in May, stay tuned 😎
记得小阳说父母要来中国玩，啥时来啊？
那个白色晒的是地瓜粉，也叫番薯粉。
9:34, did Aysajan put on makeup? something like eye shadow and mascara? lol
No hahahaha he just has really long eyelashes 😂
@@kats_journey_east guess that's one of merits being a uigur😁envying......
I am always impressed with how clean the streets are!
Litter is so disgusting and disrespectful.
3:10 sweet potato starch I geuss.
白色的叫苕粉，用来制成苕皮。
10:40 I disagree. In the US, pulling out a toy gun can get you killed. My kids never had one. You just never know what kind of games kids will play and know what real gun owners would do in the name of safety. It is hard to tell what is real or not in a flash of time.
True as well, especially since these guns aren't even like a "cute color" or whatever like basically every other toy is, some of them look very real 😱
Indeed, especially in a "stand your ground" state.
结尾让我笑了
快乐，有钱（富有），每一个人，不是连贯的，其实是中式英语，用中式方法理解这几词，（祝愿）每个人快乐，有钱
就是要做一个很别扭的翻译，才能让中国人理解为国人看这句英语啥感觉😂😂😂
你游玩的方式，跟我前十年到浙江后也是这样的玩法。山山水水~城市与古镇
红薯粉。就是淀粉。。。
还得是小孩哥，俄罗斯打广告费。😂
(something about Jesus) had me cracking up lol
3:39 Starch blocks
最后几声”卧槽”还是带一点千年古镇的底蕴的
少侠，请留步。
are you the first foreign visitor
不是，龙门古镇我去过的，当时去的时候，欧洲🌍有几个旅游团来这里旅游。
It’s pretty in the middle of nowhere but not THAT in the middle of nowhere 🤪 I didn’t see any that day but some villagers told me they have seen foreign visitors there before
i like guns but unfortunately i've never had a real gun in my hand so far.
孙不算皇帝，只是割据势力，这跟东晋，南宋等不一样。
8:30 This just debunks western views that religion is banned in China
First.#1
孙权不是江南人~~
孙权老家。溜
Kath you ought to teach your chinese boy friend better chinese!
