The vibe is so chill. The chinese people are just that. Friendly and engaged in their lives. You have captured the essence of it very well in this video. Harriet and I never miss a video.. All the best Katherine. Let's us take this time to wish the Happiest Holidays🎄🎄to you and your family. From Jim and Harriet Richmond VA.
I know I am biased but I just love your videos, they have me smiling all the way through them. How can anybody watch them and not like China, its places and its people? I guess we won;t see another one now before Christmas so we wish a very happy one!
I love rural China! It is so beautiful and people are so kind and friendly, their life is more tranquil! Great contrast between modern cities and the countryside. Thanks a lot Katherine and Merry Christmas ⭐️💕🎄
Thanks for the video to show the rural Xi’an. I am a Xi’an native living in States. We used to joke about Xi’an 10 years ago- center Xi’an looks like Europe; outside rural Xi’an looks like Africa (dirt roads with trash etc)😅😅… went back this year noticed rural area is more developed- new clean roads, pile of trash mostly gone, instead seeing cars parked outside of many rural houses. Shaanxi is still relatively poor compared to coastal provinces but happy to see progress is being made.👍
Uncle Charm is thrilled to meet you! The breathtaking mountains in your video at 5:09 look just like a postcard. Wishing you a wonderful Holiday season 🎄
Thank you for your obsession with rural life and scenery! Otherwise we will never see that side of China very few China vlogs show! Add Yan from " little Chinese everywhere", now we have complete view of China😊 away from tourist destinations!
Saturday mornings are so great for me here in Florida. I wake up and I get a new video from Katherine and then I have a new video from Kino Yves in Africa. Fantastic. As a 71vyear old i live vicariously through both these lovely people.
I spent two yrs in Xi'An, I missed the independent book stores and coffee shops there. if you ask me the only complaint, it is the smog air back then. Wish I can go back again
when the sun came out, everything looked so different and energizing. most of the soy sauce in those Americanized chinese restaurants are from some japanese brands, which tastes differently comparing to the chinese soy sauces. "say cheese" lol and there is a christ church in the middle of the buzzing market? can't find anything more relatable than that😄
The younger generation have mostly left for the city. It's good to see the older generation still carry on with their lives in a safe and a lively environment.
I like your videos depicting the local market, neighbourhood and life in Rural China! Thank you for sharing. In some countries, if they know you are American, they may do harm to you, thankfully, in China you will be met with curiosity and friendliness, of course there will be a few showing indifference!
Xi'an is my hometown. every year when went back to Xi'an in my vacation, I always drove to the villages around southern mountain. Xian is a amazing place. I miss Xi'an from far Malaysia.
Different interesting place with different people but always the same fun interactions.👍 If this is your last video before the 25th, have a wonderful Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻🥂⛄️
Thank you, Kath, for another interesting and educational video. Seems like people in rural China are aware of and knows something about what's going on outside of their community and country which I think is not the case in just about all Western countries. Until your next video, cheers & all the best! P/S: I supposed your red stallion has been retired 😁
the red stallion gets me around the village but for these long distance trips I keep doing ads with Dahon! they mailed me this bike for an ad, but it was posted on bilibili not here
@@kats_journey_east Ah, good to know Red Stallion is still good to go when required!👍 Hmmm...if there are no conflict of interest, you should mention something good in your videos about the bike made by Dahon... how well it handles and ride, etc... and discreetly send them a link to your video but refrain from mentioning any expectation of advertising/promotion fee. Just a simple gesture of appreciation for their sponsorship and etc to foster better relationship. Remember, "Expect nothing in return and you will never be disappointed." All the best!
Love your video!👍My mother and her relatives all live in Xi'an. They are regular people and only know their daily lives and don't know much about USA. However, due to the powerful social media influence, which is shaping people's jideas and mind sets nowadays, they believe or try to believe that either USA or other developed countries has a free medicare system to take care of its people and help the US citizens or other developed countries citizens whenever they have health issues. 😂 I told them many times that a free medicare system is impossible in any country because doctors and medicines cost money. However, they never believe what I said. I gave up eventually in battling the power of social media.😅
that old man saying healthcare in US is free, that's not a misjudgement that's an expectation an expectation of the most powerful, richest country in the world
Hi Katherine. Love you videos. I’m guessing that the Chinese are confusing free healthcare for Americans for what we have in Canada. We have free healthcare thru our taxes , but it’s not without its problems.
Yes, in Chinese Restaurant in China, you need to ask for soya sauce as it is very often not on your dining table. Maybe black vinegar and chilly oil are more common condiments on Dining Tables in China Chinese Restaurant 😂😂
if not for being food, there wouldn't be so many of them running around in the first place 🤣 I am glad they can enjoy their life while they are alive, instead of industrially raised chickens who never see the light of day
It's funny most of they immediately ask if you are Russian. Do they realize that beautiful Russian girls probably won't go to rural Shaanxi if they were in China, and they can be found easier in the night clubs in big cities.
Xi'an is my birth place. Since you speak Chinese. My advice to you is go deeply into yourself to discover your original face. Hope you find the right teacher.
Did you know you were 狠狠地 praised for your good apolitical work by Ron Unz in his recent article "American Pravda: Propaganda-Hoaxes vs. Chinese Reality" published in the Unz Review. The comment section has over 400 posts - a big discussion.
I'm from the HongKong. you shouldn't mind what we thought we about the America. it was not about the you it was all about the what your government is did to china.
Katherine`s video shows the Peace and tranquility are a reflection characterizes of rural China .
阳离子的視頻顯示安詳寧靜是中國農村的寫照
The vibe is so chill. The chinese people are just that. Friendly and engaged in their lives. You have captured the essence of it very well in this video. Harriet and I never miss a video..
All the best Katherine. Let's us take this time to wish the Happiest Holidays🎄🎄to you and your family. From Jim and Harriet Richmond VA.
Glad you like the vlogs and happy holidays to you too ❄️
The elements of village in China are beautiful.
I know I am biased but I just love your videos, they have me smiling all the way through them. How can anybody watch them and not like China, its places and its people? I guess we won;t see another one now before Christmas so we wish a very happy one!
merry christmas to you too 🎄
I love rural China! It is so beautiful and people are so kind and friendly, their life is more tranquil! Great contrast between modern cities and the countryside. Thanks a lot Katherine and Merry Christmas ⭐️💕🎄
Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄
She's MIGHT just be the most humble and heartwarming person to exist❤️❤️🥰😘
Everyday with you would be a happy ending. It's all about the special vibes I get from you.❤️😍😍
An old lady in a small village knows Americans are great people but our politicians are terrible. Hilarious.
So true!
Kate hurriedly avoiding any political topic..😂
One world with love
Unfortunately, most American voters don't.. .😃
美国民主是文明的先驱，是人类之光，但是我们中国人再探索另外一条民主之路，人类之光。伟大的美国是人类文明的顶峰。
Such a lovely place Xian is, brings back fond memories of years gone by!! Thanks Katherine for reviving such. 👍👍👏👏

yan's vlog is very good
Yan and katherine are my two favourite channels about china :)))

看你的视频好宁静，love
能用語言和當地人互動溝通是最有趣的事
Your video always has hundreds of small interesting details, so I usually watch it twice.
视频里总是有一些有意思的小细节一次看不过来，我一般是看两遍🎉
I spent two yrs in Xi'An, I missed the independent book stores and coffee shops there. if you ask me the only complaint, it is the smog air back then. Wish I can go back again
Goodmorning from Florida
spicy bamboo!!! my favorite snack...
Even at the village, it's so clean
13:35 Now you know how fluent your Chinese is.. . So much so that it gave that uncle that illusion.. . 😃
我前段时间去钓鱼，也路过这个农家乐，还在这吃了个中午饭!他们家的锅盔加辣子美的很!
美滴曾怂
Katherine, you are like Chinese, openminded, seek harmony and a good story teller. Food in China is cheap, healthy and tasty. Eat more.
Beautiful，harmonious，virtuous place.Just like you katherine!
As usual, your video is very enjoyable to watch
Rural Xi’an is so charming! Love it!
阳离子冬至快乐
别的老外中国旅游是北上广深苏杭，四川重庆湖南湖北这种一二线城市著名的旅游景点，别人打扮的漂漂亮亮的景点打卡拍照咔咔咔的，阳离子很随意的骑着自行车走街串巷赶集年龄不分老幼的有共同语言的就聊上几句，只能说热爱是发自内心的
是啊 而且她镜头里的农村比那些千万人级别的大城市可爱多了
我去西安只是在城市，景点旅游。阳离子在乡村的视频好赞，喜欢这种乡村生活的人，和气氛。
when the sun came out, everything looked so different and energizing. most of the soy sauce in those Americanized chinese restaurants are from some japanese brands, which tastes differently comparing to the chinese soy sauces.
"say cheese" lol
and there is a christ church in the middle of the buzzing market? can't find anything more relatable than that😄

阿美莉卡的光环依然在闪耀
Love your obsession with chickens!
Nice video as always, wish you a merry Christmas and happy new year 🎆
You too 🎄
Such great insight in to a China we don't get a chance to see.
Xi'an is my hometown. every year when went back to Xi'an in my vacation, I always drove to the villages around southern mountain. Xian is a amazing place. I miss Xi'an from far Malaysia.
Chinese getting the Americans and Europeans mixed up in terms of free healthcare lol... p.s. I love the 1950s music which starts at 4.50
Nice video! Thanks.
When you said sharing "his wood", I thought of something else. What, who's sharing his woody with Catherine?
真實的景況 !
你有一双善于发现美的眼睛👍
Thank you Katherine sharing your lovely Biking Tour through the many rural parts of China......Really intrigueing. Have a lovely Xmas/New Year
Love the videos. Love the peaceful village and friendly people so much ❤❤❤
10:35 Interesting find.. . The creator of the mural, I believe, was trying to create a visual illusion of a real bush.
不容易，终于遇到精美了 哈哈哈
Great content as usual
Thanks
Good morning, from the "51st state": Canada! (The healthcare is actually free here, lol.)
加拿大医疗全免费啊？是全部人民吗？如果这样好想去
快去陕西宝鸡拍视频，我家乡。😂我5年没回去了。😂
拍的好细 细节拉满
谢谢您介绍真实的中国！
Chicken and goats are my favorite animal.
Medical care in China can reimburse 80% of RMB 400 per year. There is no need to wait until 90. In fact, I think it's good for many countries.
Persimmons is my favorite fruit
Interesting title
末路狂花😂😂😂
"Shares his wood with me" is one way to describe it lol
If you see wedding party, you can join the feast. They'e welcome.
阳离子！！！！❤❤❤❤❤
有趣
I miss our Shaanxi style dried noodles so much.😭
❤
Naughty Title... 😂😅
Different interesting place with different people but always the same fun interactions.👍
If this is your last video before the 25th, have a wonderful Christmas!
🎄🎅🏻🥂⛄️
Merry Christmas to you too!
That tree root, your personal favorite, looks like the reincarnation of Yoda.
阳离子的视频最大的魅力就是从完全不同于其他博主介绍中国的方式，从只属于自己的角度把rural china的美显示出来。农村包围城市。
nice..

zhejiang people like soy sauce , youtiao dipping a little soy sauce is delicious.
cat ❤ you experiences and enjoy your life... learn chinese and to be chinese... jia you 😂
interesting villages ...don't your hand get tired holding the camera while cycling at the same time.
消聲我也知道你說了"yes"😂
To selling him a gun lol
Happy new year 🎉😊
*Friendly uncle at the mountain market shares his WOOD with me*
Me: 🤣 Oh dear, Katherine…
dirty mind
bell & drum tower, 2 most well-known tourism attractions you can give it a try.
Safety first while filming on the bike....🚲
看到那些海报有点感慨，以前很喜欢好莱坞电影，现在的心好莱坞电影真的一秒都看不下去
Yes, in Chinese Restaurant in China, you need to ask for soya sauce as it is very often not on your dining table.
Maybe black vinegar and chilly oil are more common condiments on Dining Tables in China Chinese Restaurant 😂😂
What kind of accommodations do you stay when you visit these rural areas?
a hotel in the neighboring town, or sometimes there is a homestay/inn type thing in the villages but I didn't stay in one of those this time
I miss the corns there. The sweet corns here were delicious at the beginning when I came to Canada, but now they are unbearable.
Based on the recent actions of American politicians, I think they're right.
Chicken! I love your attitude towards chicken. So sad that so many are killed and eaten..
if not for being food, there wouldn't be so many of them running around in the first place 🤣 I am glad they can enjoy their life while they are alive, instead of industrially raised chickens who never see the light of day
It's funny most of they immediately ask if you are Russian. Do they realize that beautiful Russian girls probably won't go to rural Shaanxi if they were in China, and they can be found easier in the night clubs in big cities.
Something not quite poetic about the curious title you chose...best wishes for chickens, cuteness, China and Christ's birth.
Xi'an is my birth place. Since you speak Chinese. My advice to you is go deeply into yourself to discover your original face. Hope you find the right teacher.
陽離子晚安！你不怕狗嗎？今天是中國冬节，祝你冬節安康！我在香港看你的視頻。

I'm from the HongKong. you shouldn't mind what we thought we about the America. it was not about the you it was all about the what your government is did to china.
we are not happy with your government not the peoples.
Agreed, China #1
Firsttttt
按很多中国人的逻辑，中国不发达，农村一年医疗保险一人要交400。一家七八个人加起来太贵，美国发达，肯定不要钱。。
