I like your channel. Your linguistic talent is amazing. Your unique angles are inspiring and entertaining. Your videos are beautiful. Wish you all the best!
I am not enjoying this episode. Bad turn. Will you rename the channel "Katherine and the chickens?" Wait a minute it is normal for couples to house hunt together, what is the deal?
I left China when I was 5, and have only been back a few times, including a few years ago to mom's small town(by Chinese standards). Watching your video brought back a lot of memories. Thanks for showcasing your life.
This was great. Rural China living is fun. My family has been living in a village outside Lijiang, Yunnan for a few years now. We (including my two homeschooled kids) have learned to farm, to raise chickens, play hide and seek in the nearby forest, and have been having a great experience.
Kathy without any doubt, your shows are so popular around the world ; because you showed a lot of scenery of the country sides , on the contrary young generations of Chinese prefer to move to the cities . You really help us to change our mind to pay more attention to the country sides . Thanks !

@@jieding-gn8qg 996 is nothing. we have that busy work schedule in America also. trying to survive in NY or LA as a fresh college graduate, I don't think its any easier than trying to survive in Shanghai.
The most important think is that you look so happy to return back to China and also Congratulations for your new job. The Chinese countryside is so peaceful and there you will spend awesome days Thank you for sharing this fantastic video
I used to think that only Chinese people had a strong aspiration for an idyllic life because of cultural reasons, but now, I firmly believe that it’s a universal desire that is shared by all human beings.
I've just moved to Beijing to start my PhD and I'm super happy the channel is continuing! Hope you enjoy whatever future the rural life has waiting for you haha
Looks like you have changed job and home(whatever happened to your cosy house you lovingly spent much time and effort and in a nice village). I wish you happy and enjoy your new life in Hangzhou!
I’d TOTALLY live in rural China, especially close to those rich cities such as Hangzhou. Convenient (albeit no TOO much, which can be kinda boring sometimes) but reclusive and green spaces, as well as a place way more linked with traditions than the big cities. Perfect.
Hats off to your drive to embrace rural China, the heart and soul of the nation beneath the concrete and neons. Very few, even among a significant portion of Chinese population today, care to walk this only route to truly understand China. You're in for a career that will lead to something big.
Alongside with Suzhou, Hangzhou is my favorite city in China. Capital of the richest dynasty in China’s history, the West Lake, Xixi Wetlands, the old buildings and the greenery of the surrounding area… Beautiful region.
Always enjoy your content, whether visiting family in the States, negotiating the chaos of India, or in your chosen home of China. You do seem to be happiest back in China! Having a new job and and continuing your RUclips channel is more than enough to handle without taking on house renovations as well. As much as we might like a version of Katherine's "This Old House" in China I think the work involved, along with the expense of repairs might be a bit too much. Look forward to learning more about your new job.
You can do some "Shorts" whenever you have a minute. Whether it is riding down a country road, or just chatting with the chickens, or listening to the birds, we appreciate/enjoy any updates no matter how small.
I was born in the place where you were visiting. And I finished my High school just several kilometers away from the place in your video. After many years studied outside of Hangzhou. I finally returned and now working in an Institue near the place I was born. I have seen many of your videos. Hopefully, I wish I can be your friend, because I like your videos a lot and willing to make some contribution for your videos career.
having a job is really important it keeps your mind active & healthy even though i retired early due to the trend here in america. i wanted to say good luck with your new endeavor & your new rural home...
i retired in my mid 50's when they offered me early-out. i used to travel 8 months out of the year up until i had to look after my mom, and then my dad in their latter years. it's time to do the things you couldn't do when you were working. enjoy your retirement.
Feel nostalgic after watched your video. 农村生活是很多年轻人回忆的一部分。 你的视频就像一座桥, 承载了很多从农村走出去在大城市打拼的年轻人的回忆。 很怀恋the sounds about goats, chicken in you clip. Hopefully can explore the roads you biked to feel it in- person. Thanks a lot. Love it
As a Hangzhouer, i'm so impressed by this video. Looking forword of more videos about the rural life in Hangzhou. There's definitely a lot to experience!
This is very interesting to me. I am American Caucasian, my wife is mainland Chinese. With my sister in law living in Hanzhou, we also toured a little bit into the surrounding country side. Only 20 minutes into the mountains there are clusters of beautiful spic and span tea fam houses. They all have pretty much the same 4 quadant floor plan, the shop room ground floor left. I pipe dreamed of getting one of those for retirement, but my wife said it is impossible. Allocation is strictly controlled. On the other hand, in my wifes home town in the provinces, house is no problem, nobody wants a standalone house. Everyone wants new condo. Renovation no problem. There are myriads of small home finishing contractors. All condo towers sell the units unfinished. Finishing is a huge business.
Being a "foreigner" becomes a concrete reality in a rural setting. You can throw out the niceties and the cute animals. Living amongst vs. just passing through are two entirely different worlds. Katherine is even looking more like an adult these days. The adventure continues...
Please elaborate about "looking more like an adult." If looking like an adult involved being very serious, I prefer our Yang Yang to be humorous and fun. 😂😂😂
Good to see u back and biking again in the countryside. Brrh, it looks terribly cold if u only have wood fire to keep the house warm. Must say u r one tough gal from the US. All the best and hope u get the home of your choice.
hangzhou... my dream city, i plan to study there before the pandemic start and now im not sure if i got the time.. i live in beijing 7years ago but rural hangzhou a bit different with rural beijing such a great experience to live in china to see things you think you know but you dont. Thanks for sharing the vlog kath.
I taught and lived in Lin'an outside of Hangzhou a couple of years ago. It was beautiful. I might also move to Nanjing Xianlin soon too. Let me know how you liked it there.
Love the traditional country kitchen with the wood stove! A little more of a hassle, but so worth it when having guests over and cooking a meal for many!
China has a new type of environment-friendly stove, burning firewood. Higher energy utilization, more environmental protection, less soot. Stainless steel. About several thousand yuan
I was born and grew up in Hangzhou. Came to the U.S. in 1995. Now my daughter decided to go to NYU Shanghai for college and her reason was it’s boring to go to U.S. colleges. What a circle of life! I would imagine curiosity must play a role for your life choices.
It’s funny you said you felt nostalgic seeing roadside vendors in the Chinese countryside even you didn’t grow up in that environment. I feel nostalgic seeing you following your heart exploring the world even I thought my life goal was to find somewhere and settle down. You reminded me of someone I really miss.
The best of luck, Katherine! Please do not worry the sporadic upload schedule of your videos. We your fans would understand perfectly. Your health, your personal happiness and the balance in your life are the priority. Happy Holidays and a prosperous 2023 to you and your family!
Good luck 🍀! You are bright gal! And brave one too. I’m Chinese myself and found it difficult to leave my familiar surroundings for other new pastures.
Kathrine and the Rural China bike tours are back, love it. I see a new bike. I was already wondering with the "old" bike whether you have adjusted the seating position ergonomically. Since you ride your bike a lot, I would advise you as a former cyclist to adjust your seating position. So you could save a lot of power. My suggestion is the 4min video from adventuresportu: How to Set Your Bicycle Seat Height. Keep up the good work, thank you.
This isn’t my bike, it’s a public share bike, my bike is in storage in Chengdu 😭😭 I hope I can go get it next month. For me comfort is more important than efficiency/speed so I keep the handlebars higher than the seat , it also is because I am filming while riding so better to be sitting upright instead of hunched over the handlebars , but it does make me quite slow 🤣 I inch along and enjoy the scenery. Hahaha
With relative cheap labour and materials (you could even do it yourself), you shouldn't have much problems transforming one of those properties into a dream home.
Since last year, I've been exploring some of Hangzhou's rural areas, and in Yuhang (余杭)and Linan(临安)I've discovered a lot of breathtaking places. Enjoy your life in Hangzhou!
I prefer rural life too, and that's why I moved to US. I was born in a small village in hubei, and then go big cities for college and work , and now lived in SF bay area and quite enjoy the rural life here. Have fun.
can't believe it you are living in Hangzhou! RUclips recommended your video to me years ago, it was a big surprise when I found we studied in the same university! And now we are in the same city! Rural areas in Hangzhou are definitely worth exploring.
Wow, this is really exciting and brave! Can you please do a quick update of your life and job situation? Did I miss a video or something? It looks like your entire arrangement has changed in the last 6 months.
Staying in rural area is an ideal way of life for sure, but I can see it's quite a challenge when you choose to live in proximity to big city in China🤔 Wish you good luck, Katherine 🙏
Reminds me of a time long ago living in my Grandma's house in Zhongshan Shaxi. Except the house was probably built some time in the 1800's. Rural life has it's charms no doubt.
To keep balance between work and life is really not that easy, hope you have a bright future and still looking forward to see your exploration Katherine, i hope it is not the end
I lived more than 5 years outside of Pingyao 瓶窑 in a little village called Penggong 彭公. It is not Convenient living in that kind of area and kind of boring. Going to the city took me an hour on good traffic conditions with my own car. Making friends with local villagers is difficult because life is just too different. However I wish you good luck on your endeavors.
@@kats_journey_east Yes, small World. I live in Fuyang 富阳,which is now a district of Hangzhou, by car about 40min west from the main city centre. 下次一起吃饭
Finding auspicious houses is my specialty and so far limited to myself being the only client 😂😂😂 I am retired after studying so many years with so many verifications of feng shui. It is not an easy job because you don’t know what you have learned is authentic and can weather the test of time.
Hi Kate, great to have you back again. In fact run thru this video few rounds to truly digest the contents 🤣. Glad your works involved traveling rural parts and the freedom to do vlog too.
