To be honest, Zhejiang Province, where the blogger lives, is the richest province in China, so the rural infrastructure there is also very good. If you go to some poorer provinces, the situation will be completely different. The roads will not be so good, and the buses will be relatively dilapidated.

    One of the perks of living in Asia is even small villages have buses connecting you everywhere. Chinese markets are the best. I made a trip to Yunnan province this summer and I still dream about the huge and fresh farmer's markets there. I used to hate grocery shopping living in the US, but now I try to grocery shop at farmer's markets every few days. Love your village life in my home country - makes me want to get a place in a village soon.

      My father lived in Shenzhen and would go to Hong Kong to shop groceries because the level of food quality and food safety is much higher even if it's grown in China. As soon as it crossed the border, there was much stricter controls. Just because it's fresher and laid out by a cute auntie doesn't make it better or safer to eat. This appeal to ruralism/naturalism fallacy is nonsensical.

    When people say that China's losing money on its transit systems/not making profits, but seeing that regular bus service to a tiny village tells a different story. Is that bus route making money? probably not, but it brings people and goods to other cities and towns, which helps those other local economies. You can cook the pig tails just the same way as ox tails... just a lot less meat. 😅😅😅

Getting there early is the key and the market looks great, and it's not too far from your house, although I can see you do have a lot to carry. Can't beat the fresh produce.

    Amazing to see so much fresh vegetables, meat and even fresh fish in winter. Truly much progress has been made since 1980. Loved the word noodle -able. Yes, I am used to noodles made from different ingredients and even flour made from different grains not jus wheat. Another great video of riral life that is not lacking in daily staples. Seeing you came from a rural Virginia this new place of yours must feel like home in a way. Time to bring your parents over to see your new dog👍👍👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

      The natural farm market has existed in 1970s. I actually went to market to sell fresh crabs and shrimps my father got from rivers in the early morning, when I was in elementary school. The private reserved land for farmers own use to grow vegetables was always there when I could remember.

      China is the world's largest producer of pork. And with that, comes a huge production capacity of soybeans to feed them. Syngenta is one of the largest agricultural biotechnology companies, making GMO seeds and herbicides with many operations in USA and headquarters Europe. Syngenta was formed by the merger of Novartis and AstraZeneca crop division, and is now owned by China National Chemical Corp., a Chinese state company. Many US farmers use Syngenta agricultural inputs to produce what is in your shopping cart.

    她所拍的农村并不都是这样,不过在农村虽然有公交车,但是私家车也是基本都有,至少是在我们东北和北方地区,大概率每家都有一辆汽车🚗,一辆拖拉机🚜,和电动车或者摩的,在我们这,每家至少10亩农田,多的会在20-50亩以上,距离县级城市也是不算太远,买东西很方便,比如有,卖车的,修车的,农贸市场,五金工具,车床加工,建筑用品,装修公司,购物商场,婚葬服务,运输,餐饮行业,快递服务等等等,综上所述,部分会在乡镇级也有,由于是县级城市,最低工资在2500元左右(为了能让你们听明白,是税后的钱),我一年是10万块,我家里有养殖场,基本有牲畜的人家,比如牛会有4-8头,这是最少的,大部分会在10头以上,有羊的人家大部分最少是20只以上,如果没什么太大的开销的话,除去日常开销,这里边包括很多,一个人一年最少会剩下2-5万块的存款,这是按最低来计算的,由于个个城市的经济不同,所以不能以偏概全,要以实际每个地方来定义。
