Once you visit China, you will see the whole world like a vintage place. Lot's of love and huge respect for China from India. Best of luck China for their daily achievements ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ .....
I really like how you're able to enjoy exploring these places all by yourself as well as how easily you're able to befriend locals. Great vid, keep it up!
Your heart-felt commitment and passion to bring to us these glimpses into Chinese society are much to be admired. China has gained more respect through these videos. Hopefully, someday, I will be able to visit China.
Whoa, off the beaten track is great for people like us, who do not have such opportunity, to appreciate the other side of beautiful China. Thanks, Katherine, enjoyed the trip! 👍👍
I`m not being silly but you are such a beautiful Human inside and out and I wish the world was like you! Thanks for the beautiful, peaceful, knowledgable experiences you share with us! The world needs people like you and I`m serious!
@@Mikachu2407 When is the next Papacy up for a new nomination? Can we nominate her for the Papacy even though she is not a Catholic, I presumed. We can dispense with watching the smoke to confirm appointment. She has proven herself on the RUclips channel, and we need to keep up with the electronic age. 😝😝😝
As a Chengduer I really like watching your video of my hometown. You just bring me new perspectives of reviewing Chengdu from different aspects. Countryside is not so familiar to me but in your video it looks quite beautiful and idyllic. As I was in Chengdu, I never appreaciated my life there, after I went to a foreign country and work there, I have such a homesick. Your video just give me a strong nostalgic feeling. Thanks for showing us the beautiful parts of my hometown.
I bet they were probabaly not like this some 10, 20 years ago cos even city streets were usually "muddy" and "dusty" back in the days here in Southwest be it Chengdu or Chongqing where I'm from 😂 Must say I'm kind of envious of younger generation kids who get to enjoy a much better living environment with well improved infrastructures in most parts of the country 😅
One of the merits of Xi's tenure, however people think of him on other issues. I've driven in some most remote rural regions in the mountains in northern China/ deeply south at the Vietnamese border and there had been always perfect road, despite it having it maybe just one lane. The flow of goods and people road brings is the foundation of any progress that may come.
What I like the most about your video is that you actually "borrow" us your eyes and perspective s to see the world, not just randomly showing us the places. Great job and Thank you!
Another wonderful bike trip through the unknowns. The drying of the beans is reminecense of my young days in my hometown on the tip of Borneo. Though the contraption they used to beat it isn't used here. We used to hang them up and beat it with a stick
That rural area brings a lot good memories. I grew up in one of those places where my ancestors lived over centuries. Thank you so much for sharing! Ps: just kindly ignore the trolls in the comments section. Hope you enjoy life in China! Wish you all the best.
Lived in Sichuan and Chengdu for years and moved to Shanghai, the first day I arrived here I was like "woof woof woof" :-) Never, never in my life had I feel this much sunlight. It was until then I really learnt how cloudy Chengdu is!
Katherine, you’ve finally taken safety into consideration with a helmet now, good for you! You should take it further by wearing a bicycle goggles for eye protection next time, plus add few items to your bike like night lights, front, rear, and side wheel reflectors and a long strayed dog wagging stick😁👍
❤️❤️❤️What an amazing place you are showing us . I wish to smell , touch , bike and walk on the road to explore every corner around the entire beautiful city . Beautiful leaves 🍁💕. I actually like fried chicken . 🥰Thanks to Katherine for taking time to interview local residents and share such a beautiful state /city in China .. I hope your passion for China will not stop except to increase more , We are looking forward to watch your future belongs with time of your love and passion in whatever you do & your curiosity will explore more about China so we can continue enjoying you and your blog . 💕🙏🥰🥰🥰
Katherine, you are lucky that you can randomly pick a direction and wander off without worrying about safety. It’s dangerous to do that in many parts of the world, including the US. Sometimes I have to drive pass the south side of Chicago or some parts of Indiana, I have to make sure I don’t have to get off the expressway to look for gas station.

I used to tell my students that WC was better than KFC, you need WC you never need KFC. Coincidentally, we were out in the countryside today, doing what we often do and veering off the roads. Today's trip included a Telecoms tower, lots of hilly bits, rubber plantations and walking in a stream. Nice video again!

Hi, I think that the sights, people, buildings, streets and all the things you see in every place you travel in China are gathered and recorded to write a travel story about China. A book about these elements would be something I'm sure people interested in China would enjoy.
Your videos are fun to watch and therapeutic. Thanks for taking us on another backcountry adventure.🚲👍 I believe the Foo dog statues at storefront is intended to keep the evil spirits away. Enjoy your KFC drumstick?
I like your video very much. When i saw your video riding a bike in countryside, It’s just like i was there, So happy. Chengdu is my hometown and I like Chengdu and Chengdu food.
Your bike has taken you so many wonderful places. I'd like to see what it looks like and would one day like to do a bike tour like that, into the rural areas.
9:07, those trees are eucalyptus, which is from Australia, koala bear eat the leaves. These tree were introduced into China as raw material of paper industry.
At this time I stick to very sunny locales. This video is helpful as I understand a bit of your Hanzi transcript. I am west of Phoenix and as one would expect basically every day is sunny and it's a dry 78F for the highs but the lows do get down as low as 32F and a small space heater easily heats the entire camper on the low setting.
As a Chengdu local who spent entire college time in Tempe, Arizona I miss the sunshine of desert. Its extremely precious for people here in Chengdu to meet a sunny day
Love your videos as we Aussies like hiking in the out back too. Since we have a population of around 30 million, not much more than the population of Chengdu, I guess what you were doing is just like walking about Chendgu's out back mate !
Hi Kat, I always enjoy watching your videos because its like being there with you exploring the country side and interacting with the local people. Next time you see the trees with white trunks, try smelling the leaves after you have crushed them. If it gives a sharp minty, aromatic scent which is also highly pungent, it could be eucalyptus. Or, if its a clean, sweet, invigorating and minty scent, like chewing gum it could be birch. Do continue to make more videos. Since its autumn, I hope you like this lovely song about cicadas in autumn (I thought I heard cicadas in the background in another of your video) ruclips.net/video/sgTIVEwcKiE/видео.html
I feel so relaxed watching your videos, I feel they are plain, chill, but also you have the humor, and sometimes it makes me giggle. May I ask what device do you use for these shooting? I am really thinking about to start do some vlogs too, but maybe just for my own memory. Thank you!
Kathy , one thing to make me to concentrate on you just because you show us the real thing in China which show the pure and simple things in Chengdu , because outside China always assumed Chinese government ‘s reports all about propaganda . Thanks you showed the facts . You ride the bike could see the details . Thanks . I love China , my Mom was born and raised up in Chengdu and moved with my father to Taiwan .
Probably you are one of few visitors today traveling in the ancient town, restaurants must close on time to save operation costs after normal lunch hours.
9:06 If it's anything like Thailand, those trees could be Eucalyptus trees that are planted for paper production. They're fast growing and it's a set-it-and-forget-it crop to be used on farmland that's out of the way and can't be tended all the time. Loved the ancient town!
It can bring more profit than ordinary crops so there was a time when these trees were very popular in Chinese rural areas. But the government later found that these trees would damage soils as well as biodiversity. As a consequence, planting Eucalyptus has been strictly restricted to a smaller scale.
9:32 grandpa takes the motorized wheelchair to the highway for a spin. yep. But the problem with ancient towns is that the ancient economy is gone for good. Hope everyone will do well.
Darwn, I'm so jealous. How I wish I can see and do what you are doing there and also other places like Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia and Xinjiang. It will be great if you can add those village/city name you visited eg the Guzhen and the area you were cycling ( in a map ) and lower volume of background music, just my 2 cents opinion

It's the result of a central government project during Xi's predecessor era called "村村通“， or "village connection" project.
