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.
Its because your so down to earth & truthful about yourself & able to adjust & assimilate in an entirely different culture that people will admire & respect you at any cost . Your mandarin language is as valuable as your charm to be greeting the ordinary Chinese in a certain village & take the truth about the lake / canal you saw without being offended . Introducing yourself as American is very important to showcase the friendliness of Ordinary US citizen not only visiting China but helping them improve their Ecosystems for a better environment in the future .
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places without high-speed rail or trains that used to be pretty good decades ago , have been completely abandoned and outdated.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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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!👌
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 👏🏼
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!👍
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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 .
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.😅
I love this video…. You see the beauty, not so beautiful and the stinkiest canal. Thank you for showing us less travelled side of China. The glitzy cities, charming, gorgeous ancient towns and rural, sometimes nondescript villages are all fascinating to see. 👍👍😍
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
wonderful video. i am a cyclist moved to Shanghai 6 mths ago. i been watching your videos pass 2 years and think this series best one yet.🎉 Thanks for showing China the developing side. Is funny how you mentioned to that guy his canal won the stinkiest award and he just try to look the other way... and the other guy shout with agreement. The local needs to make aware this and now they can make the necessary changes..may be after your video.😂
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 🤣
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
You didn't argue when they said "Russian girl"! Yesterday I had a guy calling me German, French, American, Russian, almost everything bar English. I asked hime if he was Japanese, at least he laughed about it. Lovely video, nice background music today too, very 60s TVish. Keep up the good work!
Wow you are so rude! What an abominable attitude! You know very well he is a Chinese since you are in his country and speak Chinese. How dare you ask him if he was Japanese! How was he supposed to know where you are from when you can be from anywhere??? Foreigners from Europe and US always think they are much superior than the locals. If you are annoyed just because they don't know where you are from, you can always go back to your country. Simple.
Is that an open sewage pit or drainage? About 20 years ago, I saw that in Suzhou. I think even fish can't survive in that ecosystem. The government should guide or instruct the local villagers of how to avoid using such open sewers. This is why the mosquitoes are so lethal. There is a buffalo and a mule roaming around. Unlike the open sewer, that is good and natural scenery. Again, Kathy uploaded another very informative video. Thank you!
Your video also opened our eyes to those of us Chinese, and learned about the beauty and different customs of the cities in the south of the motherland. Catherine showed the outside world a real China full of vigor and vitality from her perspective. Americans are indeed complicated in the minds of many Chinese people, benefiting from the anti-Japanese and anti-American education, as well as the arrogance of American imperialism. Only people deepen mutual understanding and trust through exchanges and communication
@CULTURE KING，there isnt anti-japanese or anti-american education or sort of, but we remembered histories, we learnt how badly Chinese being treated, and thus responded when there are anti-Chinese narrations still going around.
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 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.
哇哦，博主真是一个特别有想法和独立的女性，面对任何突发事件都持有乐观态度😊，向你学习😊
My grandmother was born in Ningbo (it was Nimpo then). Thank you for sharing 🤘🤘
Good job , exploring the things no matter good or bad . Thanks !
Content gets better and better Katherine is Wonderful! share her videos!
@katherine's Journey to the East. Best China TH-camr by a country mile. Well actually by 2000km!
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.
You are the only foreign vloger that show both developed and untouched sides of China, good to let people know all kinds of China 🎉
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.
I love love love your videos Katherine!! Keep it up💗Much love from Wuhan 💗
You know it’s a successful trip when you see goth chickens 🧛🏻
Thanks for being frank about the stinky canal! They need to 加油 to fix it.
Thanks for the ride, Kath. I love the scenes of the rural area and respect your honest words, say it bad when its bad 👍
Many thanks for your real China report. It’s interesting to Chinese (me) as well!
从刚入驻抖音就关注阳离子了，今天这里也看到你了。总是从你身上看到乐观，对环境和生命的珍爱。谢谢你的视频。（你的中文进步太大了！）
Anxiously waiting for the next episode.
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.
wonderful video. i am a cyclist moved to Shanghai 6 mths ago. i been watching your videos pass 2 years and think this series best one yet.🎉
Thanks for showing China the developing side. Is funny how you mentioned to that guy his canal won the stinkiest award and he just try to look the other way... and the other guy shout with agreement. The local needs to make aware this and now they can make the necessary changes..may be after your video.😂
Yes, more awareness is necesssary, especially it can then reach to higher authorities and wider groups who can make good decisions.
@2:30 Should've said "look at all those chickens". But seriously, you're a great storyteller. Really enjoying this bike tour series.
Great contents for those in the West.Keep up the good work Katherine.
9:51 The Chinese guy was amazed when you asked whether the pitcher plant will have enough flies to eat when hung in the house… haha!
@5:16 - Taiwan and Hong Kong still have public phones.
Absolutely loving this bike/road trip.
这期视频深有感触，因为我的家乡也是在江边，也是从非常富然后现在变得没落。看着相似的历史，真的感慨万千。
那就反共吧！
@@HaterloveHate 脑子生虫来找骂？我反NM。
你家乡可能是真没落，但是东钱湖可只是表面看起来而已，别忘了，那里是宁波
@@_Forsaker没落就是没落，还有真假？宁波咋了？我这还珠江三角洲粤港澳大湾区呢。不如昨日就是没落。
@@ycyc6619 所以說你們要反政府要反共
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 🤣
Interesting video! I like that you are traveling through the smaller villages and areas of China.
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
Your bike journey is fascinatingly enjoyed all of your videos.
You didn't argue when they said "Russian girl"! Yesterday I had a guy calling me German, French, American, Russian, almost everything bar English. I asked hime if he was Japanese, at least he laughed about it. Lovely video, nice background music today too, very 60s TVish. Keep up the good work!
Wow you are so rude! What an abominable attitude! You know very well he is a Chinese since you are in his country and speak Chinese. How dare you ask him if he was Japanese! How was he supposed to know where you are from when you can be from anywhere??? Foreigners from Europe and US always think they are much superior than the locals. If you are annoyed just because they don't know where you are from, you can always go back to your country. Simple.
🤣🤣🤣
You’re living such a meaningful life in China. Please do enjoy your stay.
Is that an open sewage pit or drainage? About 20 years ago, I saw that in Suzhou. I think even fish can't survive in that ecosystem. The government should guide or instruct the local villagers of how to avoid using such open sewers. This is why the mosquitoes are so lethal.
There is a buffalo and a mule roaming around. Unlike the open sewer, that is good and natural scenery.
Again, Kathy uploaded another very informative video. Thank you!
Your video also opened our eyes to those of us Chinese, and learned about the beauty and different customs of the cities in the south of the motherland. Catherine showed the outside world a real China full of vigor and vitality from her perspective. Americans are indeed complicated in the minds of many Chinese people, benefiting from the anti-Japanese and anti-American education, as well as the arrogance of American imperialism. Only people deepen mutual understanding and trust through exchanges and communication
啥时候有反美教育了？你真会学公知讲话 美国政府对中国怎么样还用专门教育？中国人在外被区别对待还要别人告诉你？
@@malagebide 打倒美帝国义，OK？？
@CULTURE KING，there isnt anti-japanese or anti-american education or sort of, but we remembered histories, we learnt how badly Chinese being treated, and thus responded when there are anti-Chinese narrations still going around.
祝你骑行顺利，愿上帝与你同在。喜欢美国和美国人民😊
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.
Glad I found this channel for good vibes. Subbed.
Ha ha😅 every time you siad, " l am American." They will say " Are u a spy."
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..
