Well done Katherine, while China is a developing country and still contains areas and villages that have not had the same level of growth and development, but riding your bike across such vast distances by yourself is a testament of level of civility and safety that not even alot of the developed countries can compare.
if you see rural buildings scattered among high rises and modern structures it is more likely the people who live there chose not to modernize or it was a conscious decision by the city government to preserve that part of the city. despite what western media tells you there are strong property rights in china. one phenomenon you can google is china's nail homes where people refuse to sell their piece of land and construction is forced to build around that piece of property.
This observation is so true： All areas around the high-speed rail lines have developed rapidly. The places without high-speed rail or trains that used to be pretty good decades ago , have been completely abandoned and outdated. That fishing village used to have well-developed waterways, and it couldn't be modernized only having waterways but with no highways. Nowadays it is hard to find villages that haven't changed much for forty years. Very real authentic tour Vlog, enjoyed very much, I knew many places by names, but visited none, very much expecting your tour in Jinhua （金华), my hometown. Thank you very much 阳离子。
I like to see some videos that show the true story of China. China is far from perfect but it’s headed to the right direction. These villages seem to be frozen in time and I like it the way how it has been preserved. I like those futuristic big cities as well as those old towns and villages. Btw, it’s old and underdeveloped but so clean. I have plans to retire in a small old slow paced town back in China. 🇨🇳
New subscriber here. I have seen other videos from Katherine but this is the most enjoyable one. A close up, even intimate look at a small part of China. I love how she is so matter of fact interacting with everyone. Give yourself the stinkiest pond award - such an American thing to say in Chinese. I'm surprised around Ninpo so many people assume she's Russian. Feels like all of the U.S.' rhetoric on China are starting to have an effect.
Kat, youre doing a great job with the videos. Theyre so fun and interesting. Your views and comments on the environment are true and insughtful. I so look forward to your next as always.
That village you visited is my hometown. I misses it so much. My grandfather used to be a fishermen and raised an huge familt of my dad and my aunts. Those villages were full of wooden houses, and if you stayed for a little longer you can see the fireflies sometime in the night. It's really my best childhood memories. Glad you went there.
Thank you very much Katherine for showing us the beauty and the locals of this fascinating country and above all the contrasts between the cities and the villages. Great video and awesome bike tour.
What an amazing first hand perspective of a civilisation. I can only appreciate how much time and effort it takes to weave together so rich content so densely. Really well done 👏🏼
This 2000km push bike journey can show the province governance to improve canal water quality and conservation of ancient village houses . China is still a developing country except big cities . Come on china speed!👌
Can't help but think you are an excellent ambassador for the both countries, the US and China, and engender good will from one people to the other. And I think you are fun ambassador!
This bicycle trip was a great idea! I am a cyclist but I live in California and I don't think it would be safe here to ride great distances through strange neighborhoods. Ningbo has always had a "second city" type reputation, I think the last time it might have been wealthy would be back in the 1800s. I find the reaction of the common people to seeing you very interesting, those guys assumed you were Russian! I think word of how the US is trying to contain China is getting around and adversely affecting Chinese people's attitudes. BTW, Dahon bikes are meant for commuting, they are not the most ergonomic rides, hope your body does not get bent out of shape by the end!!!
Love her gusto spirit! Very brave of her to cycle 2000km solo to even such remote part of China. Wish you a safe and fruitful adventure.. as safe as China is, do be careful as there are always baddies out there.
Katherine, another good and educational video which I of course enjoyed. I am also extremely glad that you told the locals what you think of their stinky canal which, hopefully, they will bring up with their municipal leaders who should and would take actions to rectify that problem. Meanwhile, keep on trucking and looking forward to your next video!
People/ governments start to care about environment about 10 years ago. A lot factories were forced to close or moved. The one staying were improved on “green” equipment. I am in the industrial side, I witnessed the change
Not saying it's good or bad but you will be amazed by how quickly the sentiment shifts from ordinary people both in China and the US about the other country and you will be appalled by the power of propaganda.
I think to fish seller misunderstood you @11:00 阳离子：这个好可爱，舍不得吃（these little fish are too cute to eat) 鱼贩: 美国人还舍不得吃？（An Amercian thinks a fish is too expensive to eat?）and then he says, 美国人一美金顶我们中国好几块呢 ( One US Dollar is equal to several our China Yuan. ) He can not believe you rich american thinks a little fish is too expensive.
Your travel videos and other like yours are so much more informative, interesting, revealing, enlightening, and archival worthy than most of these crap you learn in a West-centric anthropology course, which are always condescending or at least harbor a sense of superiority if indirectly. Your videos also strike strong contrast to all the negative assessment propagated by all the "China experts" who have never stepped foot in China nor speak the language.
Always great to see new updates from your channel. The dirt road portion is a horror. As a casual cyclist myself, I can feel the pain of washing the mud and dirt after a wet ride.😆Hope you apply lubricant to the chains after the wash. Keep up the energy!👍
Well, really love your courage cycling for miles around China villages alone. I salute you and thanks for sharing all the video. All the very best in all your ventures!
We don't mind if you keep posting this series till december, in contrary! 😍 And your boss pays for the editing?!? Go for it girl! I'll order the extra large popcorn.
@@kats_journey_east I believe you have lot of interesting material cut for those video. But we would like to see. one day , when you have a time, you can put those interesting things together and upload to youtube and share with us. It is not neccessary to have your comments in the video. We just enjoy your bike tour
oh gosh, like 1980s of my home town Humen zhen, dongguan. I love the old way of life, you eat what you have, you don't complain, people argued and messying about and care free not careless. thanks for sharing
Yet another interesting adventure. Gives us a good look into the daily lives and environment that they live in. I'm sure a lot of these places have never been filmed before by anyone except you Katherine the great. Some villages resembles those I can find around our country, but most of these are now becoming more modern by the day. The last of the old village life I suppose.
These parts have not so many exposures to Foreign friends only ,But Most of remote village or Backwoods area have been widely covered by Chinese influencers or local content creator in multiple chinese apps such as Douyin ,Kuaishou, etc .
Wrong , that may be the first time these places filmed by a forginer . But they have been filmed by Chinese for many many times , almost everyone here ( besides age 70+) have a smartphone .
What a gem of a video. Back to basics, just makes my day when you discover all these animals and places. I'm motivated to cycle in China. One day in the not too distant future, hopefully.😊
Hope you get a chance , it’s a very bike friendly country 🚲 soooo many bike lanes on major roads and lots of small country roads to meander through too
Amazing video. I must say this one is my favorite so far. Not that the videos you made in the past aren't good. They are very good, but personally I love this one the most. As someone who is from China but has been living in the US for over 20 years, I must say I enjoy your videos made by you as a "foreigner" as opposed to those made by someone in China. Your videos resonate with me, I must say. And I don't care for anything in the big cities. These countryside encounters and village living are the hidden gem.
Everywhere in the market and village looks splendid, as it has a history to learn. And despite you are mistaken as a Russian, you are part of the same community, Miss Katherine.
This is a solo bike ride that should go into the Guinness book of records. You r determined, tenacious with the best attitude ever to carry out this feat. How do u do it? Simply mind boggling.
I wonder what those wading birds were. We have similar ones here in Europe, called oystercatchers in English or tjeld in Norwegian. They sing very loudly when they fly, but are mostly quiet while on the ground.
I was watching news on TH-cam and it's interesting that your videos automatically jumped into my view following another American man showing his trip back to Shanghai after his 4 years' stay in the US. My latest trip to China is to visit my parents in Chengdu in 2018. I am eager to see how the country look like since I never travel to other parts of the country. I am happy to see some of the ever heavily polluted water systems got cleaner now. Also it looks your video scratch the Sino-American relationship. It is funny to see the ordinary Chinese people begging you or American troops "not bit our ordinary Chinese people" by saying there are differences between the people and the government.
Thank you Katherine, I enjoy watching it. Love the scenery as well. Amazing journey, you always have in there. From Seattle, Washington.. greeting! & stay safe at all time.
I really like your videos, in fact you know far more about China than most Chinese people, I am interested in all the different parts of China in your videos.
The bicycle trip is quite eye-opening, you went places we city dwellers don't usually go. Interesting to see the chicken cow sheep bird etc. in the countryside.
china and russia are both communist countries, their citizens often visit each other during holiday.. it's no surprise that the local Chinese thought she was Russian
@@first-gordonchang9510 people are too familiar with US trouble maker. American spreads hatred and trouble. They are so spoiled by American exceptionalism
superpower? ? Which country are you from? No Chinese would call themselves a superpower China is obviously a developing country~~We need more investment and preferential policies.
The quality of the video is superb and the vistas so unique. Thank you for documenting both rich and poor, old and new, modern and not so modern villages.
Hi Kat, nice to "join you" again on your bike adventure. Like you, I also like to explore the local street markets when traveling. Ahh, birds! Those are migratory shorebirds most likely sanderlings. They fly to warmer regions as far as the tropics during winter and return in spring and summer. Till the next segment, take care and ride safe.
I love your boss's high school mate, he's definitely a wonderful tourist guide, can't believe he help someone like yo who's good at chinese translating dialect into putonghua.😅
This is one of the best things on youtube, period. WOW!!! I really love that your presentation style has evolved and matured so much over the years to the now polished yet natural style. I hope your channel grows more and more and you go on more and more adventures like these since this is just pure VIBES! I especially love seeing the less developed parts of the country with terrible roads and poorer villages to show an angle of authenticity that most travel or vlogging channels choose to omit!
Great video Katherine. Thanks for showing a disappearing China keep on shooting and showing more of this part of old China. Nostalgia definitely but it's a unique part of China that's is fast disappearing. I remember stinky canals growing up and how it's cleaned now for the better and thanks for reminding me if it 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Hi Katherine may I suggest for subtitle?, If you talk in english, the sub only in chinese, and if you talk in chinese the sub is english, for me, it more enjoyable to watch because less distraction hehe..
I'm also the first time I've seen an inflatable door for a funeral, and I actually feel it's quite reasonable. It can be used for leasing and recycling
To me, it is very funny to hear the guy next to the nasty river said that you might be a SPY. I can relate to this joke because my American host has just aske me that same question. One day when we were having dinner together, he suddenly went: Tao, are you a spy? lol 🤣
What a fascinating story about how things change and the unexpected side effects of changes. This village becomes old and poor because of the many highways China has built. Great story of the real China.

Thanks for another interesting vid! Just a thought to say hoping you aren't too lonely/lonesome because travelling on your own can be. Take care.

老奶奶介绍厨房说的方言真的是方言，因为我一个字都没有听懂，哈哈哈
wow! you missed it! the public phone hanging on the front door, there's a famous solgan! : )
To me, it is very funny to hear the guy next to the nasty river said that you might be a SPY. I can relate to this joke because my American host has just aske me that same question. One day when we were having dinner together, he suddenly went: Tao, are you a spy? lol 🤣
Thanks for the ride, Kath. I love the scenes of the rural area and respect your honest words, say it bad when its bad 👍
What a fascinating story about how things change and the unexpected side effects of changes. This village becomes old and poor because of the many highways China has built.
Great story of the real China.
