- Who knew that a city of 9 million could have such an amazing swimming hole?? 😍 Better swim out to the middle, though, because the fish in the shallow area have really sharp little teeth 🤣🐟

Nanjing looks like a great place to visit and stay. Hopefully, we can visit this beautiful city soon. Thank you for sharing this video.🤗
It's my hometown!! Love and missing my city
Nanjing is a famous city of education, culture and history. If you like history and culture, Nanjing is a very good city. In addition, Nanjing is also very modern and life is very convenient
I lived in Nanjing for 4years 30years ago, and visited there two years ago. It is completely transformed to a moden city. Thank you very much for your sharing. Hope you enjoy living there.
Not only your cycling is brilliant your swimming is also brilliant.
你真是个可爱的姑娘，一看就是生活在幸福又正直的家庭里。祝福你在中国幸福快乐，也非常感谢你为中国环保做出贡献的意愿，愿你心想事成！😄🥰
I love the trees lined streets everywhere in China. What a contrast to HK where Britain built a horrible concrete jungle, not a single tree in urban areas
Keep it up Ms Katherine. Let the brothers and sisters at the west know that who is not telling the truth.
阳离子真是聪明漂亮又大方得体。
Jaw dropping when u took us thru that tunnel to see this park in such a dense city. Simply stunning. It’s as if u entered into another world altogether.
Thanks once again for this awesome awesome trip. And congrats to u on graduating. I’m sure there’ll be lots of jobs waiting for u in China or the US.
Enjoy watching these trips! See you next time! 😁
This was incredible! Loved the way you showed Nanjing, the greenery, the park...absolutely loved it! Really nice to see the city this way! Warm regards from India.
Glad you liked it , Nanjing is such a beautiful city ⛰ it’s just a Shame I didn’t find out about this lake until a month before graduating and leaving the city 🤣🤣 wish i knew about it earlier , such a nice swimming spot
@@kats_journey_east Katherine, I must tell you that you should write about all these adventures in Lonely Planet, so thousands more can read and know about the places.
There're some of the most magnificent stone beasts ever (trust me I've traveled a lot!) guarding tombs of southern Chinese emperors 1,000 years senior to the Ming tomb, about 40 minutes drive out of city center, including the actual original Qilin (namesake of one of Nanjing's suburbs) which is vastly more lively, artistic and VOLUMIC than later versions. Definitely check them out if you'd ever gonna visit back again.
看到妳在南京林遊泳太美了尤其是高空拍攝
紫霞湖，前湖都是我小时候经常去游泳的地方，晚上附近有很多萤火虫。
Shanghai also has giant parks full of trees. The temperature here is literally lower than the surrounding area in hot summer.
Nanjing on my TDL when I go back to China. Suggestion : you should write a e-travel resource book on your China adventures, especially the second and third tier cities. It would be great to have a resource with information and places to go including restaurants and other cool places. Thanks for another awesome vlog!
In Shenyang we have also a great lake the Dingxiang lake. More people choose it as the top attraction of Shenyang. The cities of China are definetly green. Not only concrete and trees are everywhere along the road.
我就住在丁香湖附近，棋盘山是氧吧 棋盘山有秀湖。 北陵公园里神桥东侧的湖常年有人游泳。浑河游泳的也很多。
I guess I'll visit John Rabe's house when I'm in Nanjing 🔥
You're amazing katherine i respect very much God bless you and bless your family amen 😎🌳
Another beautiful view, I actually come from jiangsu province,and visited nanjing a few times but never visited this mountain, I will definitely visit it next time. But if you have allergy in your respiratory system, don’t go to nanjing around April, because nanjing is also famous for its Platanus orientalis, in April the city is covered by flying catkin. 😂
I love those things, they look so beautiful drifting through the sunlight🤣🤣but yeah a disaster for ppl with allergies
Don't ignore the cameraman behind, he's doing a great job.
阳离子好漂亮。阳光，年轻有活力。希望你幸福
Thanks for sharing Nanjing. I've added this city to our list of places to visit in China. Do you know where you'll next? I remember you mentioned Kunming.
We just moved to Chengdu, and in the upcoming year we have trips planned to a bunch of places - xinjiang, yunnan, Tibet, etc, stay tuned 😍
Another beautiful city, though I have never been too. The life should be more relaxed compared to Nanjing. But be on watch for those super spicy foods
@@kats_journey_east I used to live in Chengdu, not a hotpot like Nanjing, but Chongqing is!
@@kats_journey_east WOW! Good to know!
Thanks for showing us another gem of a place. We’ll be sad to see you leave Nanjing too but like a fish if you move from a small pond to thrive in a big lake then it’ll be a good thing. :D
from watching your video i found that you were interesting person .lovely life and passions.
My dad takes a walk around the exact lake on Purple Mountain every morning to get his 10k step count. Thanks for the vlog!
离开家乡到北美生活四年了，看到这个视频，让我想起了在家乡时每年都会到紫霞湖游泳🏊♀️的美好时光。😁
I believe it's Zixia Lake（紫霞湖）, very beautiful. So familiar to see Zijin Mountain, my most favorite place in Nanjing, which is called the Green Lung of the city. Thank you for your sharing when I miss Nanjing.
Hi Katherine, Nanjing is my hometown and my parents still live there. I always enjoy your videos❤️. And now I live in Maryland, not so far from your hometown😊
Thank you for your videos. I was born in China and living abroad for over 30 years. You have been travelling to many cities more than I did. Through your videos, I feel China has been changed more than ever in the past 30 years. Please keep doing this.
Hi kathy, congratulations your videos are wonderful. The best for you. Blessings of México 🌻🤗
You are very adventurous. Strong 💪 and determined and fearless.
From New York City, my primary home now. Was born and raised in Shanghai, love this country to death, also loved all the hidden details that I didn't even know and the way you presented it, dismissing the fact that I chucle when I can't help to notice all the edited glitches when unpleasant momonts that I can see in my imaginations through all the years I spend in this environmet. Still - God, what a beautiful country along with such facinating history, long and fond.
You are a so incredibly inspiring human being.
Good luck with your next endeavours
wow, the drone shots.
and wow? there are birds in China?
Some 2 blokes said there are no birds in China.
Some people also said there's no freedom in China . The citizens are oppressed by government, unlike in amerikkka where they celebrate freedom and Amerikkka also "share" their version of freedom to Afganistan, Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, and many more countries.
We got a new drone recently 😛😛 and lmao about the birds
Man who else felt Spirited Away when she went thro that tunnel😆🙋♂️🙋♂️
Nanjing so beautiful😍👍
Another great video that I have so much to relate. Nanjing aquarium was the place I first saw and touched a star fish when I was a 9-year-old. And the lake you were swimming in is actually a infamous spot that has been known probably for generations. However, Zixia lake seems to have at least one drowning accident every year during the summer. When I was a kid, my dad took me there and point at the lake and said something along the line of "if you went swimming in that lake, I will never allow you to go out with your friends again". But, man that looks like a lot of fun. Might have to give it a try when I have a chance to go back and visit.
beautiful lake in the city
Hahahaha ''Sea weeds''! So cute
Definitely on the bucket list. Cheers to you.
6:22 Fish, "Yum.. .Yum.. .Today's lunch special.. . American fast foods..."
Like your video. I was born in Nanjing and living there for more than 20 years. You just bring all my memories back. I love this Zixia lake, one of my favorite place in that city.
20年前曾數次到南京公幹，南京人文化歷史豐富，期望疫情過後可以通關無需隔離，到南京感受現在的變遷。
This is a new kind of mountain for me: apparently flat as a plain! :^> But a beautiful sanctuary-in-the-city, and beautifully presented.
Yeah it’s a pretty tiny mountain in terms of height 😝😝 but still a nice escape from city life
It is not flat. It is a mountain!
@@firefly4784 Good to know! But her video footage doesn't show her climbing slopes/inclines, it shows her in flat areas. Even in the clips of her in the lake, where the camera turns around with her, you never see a mountain in the background. And in the aerial drone shot of the lake, you just see flat terrain around. Anyway, I'm sure it's called 'a mountain' for a good reason. :^)
P.S.: I looked on Google Maps, in 'Terrain' View, and you can clearly see an elevated ridge that goes across the middle of the park: "Purple Mountain". But much of the park is flat. www.google.com/maps/place/Nanjing,+Jiangsu,+China/@32.0925728,118.769813,12.23z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x35b58c9b668dcd83:0x8ffbb60b79df1b06!8m2!3d32.060255!4d118.796877!5m1!1e4
There are some proper hiking areas but we weren’t in them since my main task for the day was to find the swimming lake which isn’t very high up in the mountain 😛😛
You are a very lucky girl , enjoy those good life in China . Hopefully I'll be back there soon to retire to.
post more videos, I like them. Thank you for your effort to show us my beautiful homeland.
You are too cute. The seaweed touching the feet. LOL
😝
With Covid cases increasing in Nanjing, my hometown right now, Stay safe Katherine!!! Thank you for all the videos, I miss my home so much!!!
We have already arrived in Chengdu, I am just a little behind on updating videos 😜
@@kats_journey_east you are lucky enough to dodge that bullet
Fun and cool stuff , keep it up!
So good to see my hometown and purple mountain
I'm wondering can it be called a tomb? I think that's a mausoleum 😹
这几天是不是被封在南京。
喜欢森林，可以来福建。
福州有各种各样的绿道等着你。
中国有阳离子，变成美上加美,口才了得，赞👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻。
Enjoyed a lot this video! I am in NYC and I miss China -)
Beautiful. You can always return if you're not moving too far away. Congrats on your graduation. Wish you happiness wherever you are moving to and hope you continue to vlog
3:42 The bird just caught a fish WOW
Don't feel bad - I lived in Nanjing for 17 years and I haven't ever been to the lake either:) Maybe next time when I get back hehe. On a side note, purple mountain is great but it's like a small hill comparing to the mountains here in Alaska :P
An exquisite small hill.
It beautiful someday I want to visit China.
Next time I/we visit China, beautiful Nanjing will be on the list.
the lake in purple mountain is like an oasis in the desert!!! so lovely. may day, may day !!!! i have been attacked by UFOs - unidentified fish objects 😊😊😊. love from canada.
🤣🤣🤣
Good idea, I must visit Nanjing one day. Thanks ! ❤️
I thought you'll never graduate with all the vlogging. lol.
Lmao
Zijingshan I also like this channel good. Minxiaolin free after 6pm that's when most people swim
It's a green city like Berlin? 🔥🔥❤️
Lake looks awesome!
Cicadas really make a lot of noise in summer of Nanjing. They are crazy creatures. lol
The lake is a nice place. Katherine, could you please kindly share the exact position of the lake. May be I can bring my son to swim there some day. Love from Gulou.
Search 紫霞湖 in baidu maps and it will show you the way 😎 😎
@@kats_journey_east Fantasitic! Much appreciate.
The statue is from weathering and people touching and possibly acid rain too lol.
probably damaged by rebels during Cultural Revolution.
@@alanOHALAN Probably could also from ww2. Tons of them were destroyed.
Seaweed! Oh, oh seaweed!!! Abort mission, I repeat, abort!!
Why seaweed? In a pond?? Perhaps it's not seaweed? Maybe something else?
Did you take a look down there?
🤣🤣🤣
Bet you didn't dare......
Well goodbye to Nanjing then. Had been fun ridding along your journey there.
Now on to new adventures!
May I ask where next????
I didn’t look 😂😂 too scary 😂We have already arrived in our next destination , Chengdu , where we will be based out of during my gap year while we travel in Xinjiang, Tibet , yunnan , guangxi , etc. so many places I want to go 😍 I want to do some long bike rides 🚲 will share on YT
@@kats_journey_east Good morning Katherine.
I'm looking forward to follow you on your adventures.
Your videos always make me feel much happier everytime.
Thanks. I am hoping to go visit China within the next few years.
I learned a lot from you.
You are young, you can go far.
I'm old, can't walk far. Gaut ya know.
You young people are the future of our little world.
Very brave swimming in the lake!
我特别喜欢听博主讲：oh man
Looks very nice. Thanks!
Enjoy your life
In videos of people swimming on RUclips in China , I notice it’s mostly elderly men who swim . I assume women ( especially young women your age ) in China don’t know how to swim and those who do know just want to avoid getting tanned because of the Chinese obsession with having extremely pale skin . It’s a pity because swimming is so refreshing and also really good for you . Also, a little vitamin D never hurt anybody . I live in Europe and here , locals of all ages and gender love to swim in the lake and are very active ( they love the outdoors ). You’ll see extremely young kids swimming fearlessly in the middle of a very deep lake . I think that’s admirable teaching your young ones to appreciate and love the outdoors from a very young age .
I saw some women in the lake wearing full face covers to avoid the sunlight 🤣🤣 but yeah mostly men. When I did the Yangtze River swim in Wuhan it was almost half women but still mostly 50s+. They said that’s because young people don’t have time to come swim every day since they are busy with work and family stuff
I definitely want my kid to be a lake and ocean swimmer from a young age like I was , swimming is like second nature to me but my boyfriend has such a hard time with it since he didn’t start learning until much later in life
@@kats_journey_eastlol. I’m not surprised 🤣. I guess most Chinese women are vitamin D deficient
@@capricornstar9803 the skins of east asians are very different to caucasians. as a chinese my natural skin is fairer than many white people, but if i stay in heavy sunshine for 1 hour, it can turn as dark as indians =.=, just in 1 hour, not tanned, but dark. and i will be fair back in about six month..............
caucasians are getting tanned slowly , east asians are getting dark very quickly . that why we have to protect ourselfs from sunshine.............
That “French style lunch” looks very Dutch to me. Lol typical sauce topping on some mashed potato, the so called “Aardappelpuree “
航拍真帅气
Katherine u are amazing American girls, congrats u choose a right country to life wish u all the best in china
Gurl, you're are too wild! Loves it❤️! 😁💪
这个湖也太爽了吧，要是我住南京一定每周都去游泳 这比游泳池干净多了！
Very excited when you are riding past my home.
Nanjing's under lockdown. Stay safe n stay strong.
I had no idea , we moved to Chengdu a few days ago 😱 I am a little behind on updating videos . Hahaha
Nice vlog. Your mandarin is amazingly good. New subscriber.
哈哈哈哈哈哈，紫霞湖，我也游过。
I like your big blue eyes!
So cool how the fish is nibbling at your leg.
😜😜
Did you say that you study environmental studies? China with its unparalleled pace and scale of development on several fronts, especially environmentally of recent years, must be a haven for such studies and work. Your vlogs are great. Your sense of humor is great lol
Ps. Wouldn’t that be “lakeweed”? 😆
Pps. Purple Mountains is also the name of the late great David Berman’s new band. David passed shortly after their excellent debut album. RIP David.
Yeah probably called lakeweed but I was in Panic Mode and not thinking that deeply into it 🤣🤣 and yes I just finished my degree in environmental engineering , I am excited to get a career here in this field once my gap year is finished 😍
@@kats_journey_east awesomeness! I wish you much joy and success in your new endeavors. After gap year, that is lol
Hi Katherine I like your channel. It shows a side of China that no other youtubers dont provide. Can I suggest investing in better camera for your channel. Doesnt has to be 4K =P
My family went to visit the Ming's tomb in 2018 and it was a fabulous experience. We don't recommend do the visitation during the summer. It was too hot and it took away the enjoyment of discovery. The place is vast and it requires multiple visits to see everything. Disappointed about the tomb! All we saw was a sign says "the tomb is hidden behind the forest"!
I like nanjing too, still have relatives live in the city
真是个好地方
The only dish that is truly French is the famous French fries
Hey 阳离子, I did my undergraduate degree in Nanjing so it is a second hometown for me. How is the new COVID situation there? I heard it is severe? Take care.🙏
I actually already moved, I am just a little behind on updating videos 😂😂 last i heard nanjing has 50 cases, mostly concentrated in one area
@@kats_journey_east ah great news. Thank you!
@@zyctc000 Hey! Most of the cases are in Jiangning District's Lukou Subdistrict. It's still not as bad as major cities of other countries but most of the monuments and attractions are closed. People are not going out and shopping complexes are mostly empty - which is certainly a good news since it's gonna help prevent the spread of the virus.
南京是个好地方
The fact you can film while swimming, impressive 😂😂
😜😜
Hope you have a good chance after NANJING.
More than 35k subscribers now, way to go go, Katherine! Where are you going after graduation?
We are gonna be based out of Chengdu for the upcoming year and traveling and biking around the country 😎 after my gap year ends I will find a job , hopefully in guangdong or fujian

@@kats_journey_east Nice! Chengdu is literally a nice city to be settled down. Good food and relaxed life style. It's unusual to take a gap year in China, but wish you all the best!
Such a large tomb complex, is it technically a necropolis? 😲🔥
K, can you do a video of what your plans of leaving Nanjing, does that mean leaving China too?, and where your next destination will be. Thx
Not leaving China, a video is coming soon of our trip to our next destination 😛😛 probably will post next week
@@kats_journey_east chengdu, please
I actually had the same question. Near the end of the video, I was so saddened by the prospect of your leaving Nanjing that I felt watery eyes. You have been so complimentary in introducing the city of Nanjing to the world. I hope that you can find a work locally and stay. Now that at least you are not leaving China, you are always welcome to visit.
@@kats_journey_east I feel you can try other swimming 🏊♀️ style for a more elegant drone footage.
@@小肉肉-f4u Elegant enough! She is way more elegant than me when I swim "egg-beater" style! Much love from faraway Canada. I live in a city surrounded by large green parks, but most of the pools like "The Second Beach Pool" and "The Kitsilano Pool" are large outdoor human-made pools.
