Yo! I'm still going through all your videos 😂. I like how you produce authentic rural countryside videos. Great to ask elders about their history and stories. I'm learning a lot thanks to you.

Just as well she is not a food vlogger. If my memory served me right the last time she recommended an eatery, rumours had it that the Emergency Department was inundated with hundreds of patients suffering from botulism and salmonella poisoning. It put paid to her budding career as a food and restaurant reviewer. Just as well, as I do not wish the fate of those who might follow her advice seriously on anything to do with food. 😜😜😜
It's a real treat to listen to you speak Chinese (Mandarin?) with such fluency. When you do, it elicits such unguarded conversations with the locals. We hear things that would be otherwise impossible or very difficult to know about. This is a great episode and I'm looking forward to the next one.
@@hangtuah888 I don’t even understand your point. Are you saying that she is not the female voice in the video? That she hired someone else to speak in the video (do a voice over)? Because that sounds like a conspiracy theory to me!
@@hangtuah888 your idea and the caricature of people and languages that is in your head are really crazy! Seriously think about your bias and prejudices before you write and speak.
I love all of your short documentaries, Katherine, watching your channel every morning before work has been part of my daily routine. You are doing some really meaningful work here.
This is a great "failure" bike ride. I enjoyed every bit of it with you. Thank you for letting me participate on the wonderful journey. Really wish I could physically be there though :).
The best time to visit there is May. The valley is full of blooming peach flowers. Ride a bike in the peaceful and flower road with ancient village and bridges. Imagine this, it's like you go back to ancient time and ride a horse there.
Watching your videos on China's countryside and old villages are like seeing the Dark side of the Moon for the first time. The tranquility of these places is amazing. I love the contrast between rural and modern China. I am sure there are many more of these videos to come, thanks Kate.
What a lovely and very interesting village! I won't say it was a 'fail'; I'll say you are very fortunate to explore in-depth a fascinating village! 😊 Looking forward to your future adventures and explorations of other hidden gems in rural China! 👍
Thanks for another good one. I personally found the ZJ people a polite and very civilized bunch when I traveled Hangzhou. Looking forward to the next episode. Cheers.
I love how you find local people to tour you around the village!! Great content! I was born in Taizhou and this looks kinda similar to my grandma's village that I spent a year living when I was 3 years old. After spending 10 years living in the US, it feels so crazy to rediscover my hometown area through someone else's lens, especially knowing you're from the States. I can still understand the local dialect so listening to those people definitely makes me a bit emotional. There're so many villages like this in Zhejiang eventually got half abandoned, that only old people still lives there due to the rapid urbanization process in China for the past a few decades. In my opinion, those villages are the textbook definition of 江南, that they are often built by the hills, with creeks running through them, and has their houses built with stones and tiles. During the time of 清明节, the mountains and the villages will show people their best look, also with many people coming back to the village to do their traditional ritual for the ancestral worshiping. It's one of the most hauntingly beautiful memories from my childhood. Looking forward for your next video!!
@@andrewmah5605 Thx!! It definitely sucks. Also in general US's safety issue is becoming non negligible for everyone here, and of course being an Asian in this situation is worse. However since digitally I'm like half living in China as well, I can tell that polarizing is not just a US problem, it's very prominent in China too. Nationalism becomes more prevailing among people and racism as a biproduct also got surfaced. The difference to me is that I'm a minority here and a majority back in China. As a globalist I hope the world gets through this phase faster and I'm doing stuff that I can to help influence people around me, even though my power is little. But when it gets to the safety of me and my family, I'm afraid that if it drops below certain threshold, I will probably leave, despite I do call it home here in the States now.
You really are making the opportunities to explore some obscure places in China which even most Chinese do not know about the people and stories in those places. Cool. Appreciate your positive spirit and eyes to find the beauties in simple daily life and ordinary air.
Thanks for having the curiosity to gently extract interesting stories from the friendly villagers. I hope that guy’s restored B&B works out and recoup some of his investment.
Thanks for another top clip. Now I'm addicted to your channel. Especially enjoy watching you mixing with the locals, young & old, and your humourous commentary.
With due respect, our Yang Yang trained in environmental science, and not stand up comedy. Not sure where you got the humourous commentary from. This is serious subject matter not to laugh at. 😌😌😌
Wonderful place. These steep paths are truly amazing and they look like the paths in stones we have in our mountains (the Alps) built by local people hundreds of years ago. Great video and glad that this place could find a new rebirth thanks to some nice people
Fascinating stuff Katherine. I really appreciate how you explain the architectural history of these buildings and rural communities, as well as letting the local people tell their stories.
(5:40): China produces wonderful teas, especially Oolong, but even green teas. The secret to enjoying these teas and getting a slightly sweet, floral taste is to not steep them in water that is too hot and to judiciously control the steep time. You need two pots, one to infuse and a second to hold the tea and pour into cups. For many Chinese green teas, the ideal temperature will be close to 70C and the steep time from 70 seconds (first infusion) to 25 seconds (subsequent infusions). In America, the tea in bags is mostly just the stems and of rather low quality, "brewed" with boiling water. Good quality teas from Asia here will expand to full leaves, as if they have been picked from the plant. I hope you'll give them a second chance! One of my favorite Oolong cultivars is Baihao Quinshin, the mountains of Jingmai, in Yunnan.
@@kats_journey_east Hmm. Could be a genetic predisposition. You know, the Viking. But in general, bitter taste means water is too hot or steep time is too long. So confirm with your Wei#1. Many Chinese teas are intentionally fermented and processed to produce a slightly bitter taste. A white tea might be your thing.
Chinese villages and the countryside are always so fascinating. So sad many livable buildings are unoccupied. Frankly, I would love in stay in one of these building hehehe....and enjoy the quiet of the countryside. How about you, Katherine?
I do love the countryside but I also love Starbucks and international grocery stores and busy city parks 🤣🤣 haven’t decided yet exactly where wei 1 and I will live after my gap year ends but I have a job offer in Hangzhou and it’s mostly remote work so I’m considering maybe living in a smaller city/town that is near Hangzhou by bullet train , like Tiantai , to get the countryside living experience but also have some of the city amenities . Will decide in the summer😜
@@kats_journey_east Haha....best of both worlds! Nice to hear you have a job offer in Hangzhou. Is the job related to your major? Wish you and Wei1 all the best always!
Well, Mr. Zheng said bullets were flying. I gathered those bandits from the Republic era would have scaled the building and tried to breach from the roof too. This is like a Chinese version of the Wild, wild West ummm... East? Man, I wouldn't mind an Ang Lee x Quentin Tarantino style movie about that.
ooh, Taizhou's known for good quality ginger? i did not know that. i love ginger, especially in winter. there used to be a foot massage place in Hangzhou i went to for ginger leg compress to warm up during those chilly and wet winter days... and also honey ginger tea.
after watching the last few videos, i feel making putonghua as the only official chinese language and mandatory to learn in school is a necessary policy. there are too many local dialects in china and makes a person feel like a stranger in his/her own country. love from canada.
thank you, Katherine, for the wonderful tour that i never had a chance to explore in this part of China. I was born in north China, Shenyang, if you know of, and had been living in Guangzhou for many years. I am aware of Kaiping fortress mantions. now I live in canada. your chinese accent sounds authentic. good luck to you and enjoy the trips. stay healthy.
1:60 I think I can kinda understand her there. She says "this can be put in 酒/wine, is good for preventing cancer". I might be wrong cuz im not from that area, but I speak a language closely related to hers
Je ne sais pas bien écrire en anglais, alors j'écris en français. Un très grand merci à vous Catherine pour faire voyager les gens qui ne connaissent pas la Chine, mon pays natal, le pays que j'aime tant, avec son peuple bienveillant.
Thanks for sharing, another great episode! I enjoy the stories behind your camera. You described your journey well and it is always fascinating hearing locals telling you their story, their history. so interesting.. Interaction with the people added depth into your vlog, made your vlog unique. My son now always asks "is there new episode from Katherine's journey?" at dinner time. lol, today we can watch together again -- That's quality time together. Cheers!
Glad you guys like the videos 🌻🌻another is coming in a few days 😁 then I have lots more bike tours planned for the upcoming months - Hainan , Guangxi , Yunnan , going to do so much traveling in the countryside 😍
@@kats_journey_east very nice,, Guangxi is going to be fun, Karst landscape there is super famous. Yunnan has many huge mountains in parallel, and has varieties of climate zone and all kinds terrain, look forward to seeing breathtaking views there too.
I always liked to hear stories of old in different places. You learn a lot from knowing many things of the past. It is way more interesting if you could understand the way of life and cultures in different places because then you would understand life better. Note: No more puns today.
man, i can understand (but can't speak) somewhat well some of the Wu dialects, but when it comes to Wenzhou and Taizhou dialect it's like a completely alien language to me, like Minbei language is completely unintelligible for me while i can pick up some Minnan words from watching years of Taiwanese variety shows. i wish i'm young again and be able to absorb more different languages faster.
Great video, very much enjoying your bike tour vlogs! Now I want to make "mazituan" but I can't find anything about it online... is there another name for it?
❤️❤️❤️Wow what a beautiful village 😍 it’s a charming place . Maple leaves 🍁 just the one in front my yard which is my favorite trees . The stage for Chinese old opera uses to be one of my father’s favorite. My mom told me she doesn’t understand but used to sit next to my father watch on TV to listen to Chinese opera and she would prepare with snacks for my father . The old house has so many memories and history behind . This guy was telling us the concept of Chinese people that we purposely keep some money not too much just little more enough for rubbery to rub us so they don’t get mad to come to rub us without getting anything could end up kill us , n This is my father who used to tell us a way to protect our life from harassment by robbery. . There are so many nice people in this village, I saw elderly looked so healthy still able to make food to talk to you to make sell . This is uneasy , thru have good health and perfect memory , amazing ! I hope people get to travel this place and stay a few days to enjoy the beautiful village and beautiful people who who chose to come back to his small village to learn so much interesting history and able to meet many nice people for us to learn from each other , This is defiantly a beautiful place for visitors to visit and stay . Thank so much again for showing us the beautiful villages , 🥰🥰We can’t wait to watch your next vide. . Take care .💕💕💕
As a Chinese living in the States, I thank you for your effort to build the understanding bridge that a job by the vast amount of paid "professional" journalists, academies, diplomates of both sides fail to do.
Another great vlog. Being able to communicate in Chinese was the key. Or we won't learn such interesting stories and history of this little village. Well done!
@@iamnotfooled Yanbian (simplified Chinese: 延边; traditional Chinese: 延邊; pinyin: Yánbiān; Chosŏn'gŭl: 연변, Yeonbyeon; Hangul: 옌볜, Yenbyen), officially known as the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, is an autonomous prefecture in the east of Jilin Province, China. Yanbian is bordered to the north by Heilongjiang, on the west by Baishan and Jilin City, on the south by North Korea's North Hamgyong Province and on the east by Primorsky Krai in Russia. Yanbian is designated as a Korean autonomous prefecture due to the large number of ethnic Koreans living in the region. The prefectural capital is Yanji and the total area is 42,700 square kilometres (16,500 sq mi). The prefecture has an important Balhae archaeological site: the Ancient Tombs at Longtou Mountain, which includes the Mausoleum of Princess Jeonghyo.

@@kats_journey_east 阳离子，中国人喝茶是讲究“苦尽甘来”，很多人也不喜欢苦的茶，而是喜欢它的甘和香气。没必要喝浓度很高的茶，我们家就喜欢把泡好的茶和白开水兑着喝（当然这决定于哪种茶，白茶苦味比较淡，就没必要这样做），这样既保留了一些茶的香气和味道，又不会太苦。如果再加入一些牛奶，其实就类似于奶茶了。所以不必强迫接受别人的标准，找适合自己的就行～

Chinese people can speak Mandarin, yes.

As a Chinese living in the States, I thank you for your effort to build the understanding bridge that a job by the vast amount of paid "professional" journalists, academies, diplomates of both sides fail to do.
I haven't been to Shanghai for so long (since elementary school), but the village do look similar to Shanghai (上海).
Amother gem, thank you
Katherine!!!
Another great vlog. Being able to communicate in Chinese was the key. Or we won't learn such interesting stories and history of this little village. Well done!
视频太真实，这就是无修饰的乡村，想念家乡。
Very informative

南黄古道啊，几年前去过。我老家是临海的，我外婆家也是这种老房子，现在都拆了盖水泥楼了。很可惜，都是明清的老房子，好好保护下也是古镇了。
碰到老乡了，捏阿是临海宁。
I share all these interesting videos with all my Family and Friends
台州是我老家，到那儿一定得尝尝姜汤面，是我们那儿的代表性小吃。
Thank you for sharing , great Video clips
Ah 南黄古道, miss my good old hiking days.
I would not call this a ‘fail’ . It was a beautiful place ! Very interesting !

Txs. I didn’t know that
@@iamnotfooled Yanbian (simplified Chinese: 延边; traditional Chinese: 延邊; pinyin: Yánbiān; Chosŏn'gŭl: 연변, Yeonbyeon; Hangul: 옌볜, Yenbyen), officially known as the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, is an autonomous prefecture in the east of Jilin Province, China. Yanbian is bordered to the north by Heilongjiang, on the west by Baishan and Jilin City, on the south by North Korea's North Hamgyong Province and on the east by Primorsky Krai in Russia. Yanbian is designated as a Korean autonomous prefecture due to the large number of ethnic Koreans living in the region. The prefectural capital is Yanji and the total area is 42,700 square kilometres (16,500 sq mi).
The prefecture has an important Balhae archaeological site: the Ancient Tombs at Longtou Mountain, which includes the Mausoleum of Princess Jeonghyo.
這些老房的主體結構尚好，如有專家加以整修，會是一個很好的別墅社區。
Thanks again Katherine for sharing.
