- Xinjiang, I'm BACK! This was a short trip, just a few days - but still long enough to cram in not one, but TWO weddings! How did this happen?? Watch and find out!!
No political comments plz! I am not interested in hosting a political debate in my comment section, take it elsewhere! 评论区不欢迎政治争吵
We traveled and filmed this video independently without any government/media affiliation. Contrary to popular belief, foreign passport holders do not need a permit to travel in Xinjiang, with the exception of a few border regions.

美国应该制裁新疆人强迫举行婚礼,还有强迫劳动种葡萄!😂
No political comments. Says it all
Pleeeaaase don't post political comments on my video that has been reviewed and approved by CCP bereaucrats.
@@JJAAAACCKK lol, does it bother you to see happy Muslims?
阳离子,请不要说“维族”,要说维吾尔族,我是汉族,但是我听说他们不喜欢“维族”这个称呼。尊重民族习惯
the West calls it genocide in peaceful Xinjiang, yet they couldn’t find genocide in 40k civilian deaths Gaza 😂
yep, It is US government and media's expertise to spread "truth" to fit their agenda and hides truth if it is inconvenient.
Absolutely. I am disgusted by the hypocrisy. I feel distressed by the suffering of the Gazans.
💯👏
When you know why they cant find genocide in gaza, you immediately realizes why they 'can' find genocide in Xinjiang
They don't want Americans to go to Xinjiang because they don't want their lies to be exposed.
Amazing to hear a young guy talking about his childhood memory - we couldn't afford ice-cream - To realize how much life has changed for the better.
I was deeply touched by his confess. Such a sentimental guy!
Xinjiang will see more opportunities with belt and road promotion.
And in this economic and social transformation he’s able to experience it in his lifetime, simply amazing.
He said he could buy ice cream bars as a child, doesn't mean his family couldn't afford it.
@@sabinereynaudsf中国78年开始改革开放,但前20年也就个别沿海省份发展,加上东西部发展差异,中国1999年提出“西部大开发”,各沿海省份援助西部省份。新疆真正的发展机遇是“一带一路”,也就是十几年前。
所以,中国真正有点钱了是20来年,也就是大部分人小时候并不是太富裕。
Great videos, Katherine. You are the best ambassador of the US, representing the good side of your country at the same time attracting the interest of local people. Keep up the good work. Wish you the best
There is no good side to the US. It is full of hypocrites, white supremacists, warmongers and morons.
She is representing herself.
She certainly doesn't represent the US. The representation of the US are the likes of Anna Coulter, Vivek Shawshamee, Nikki Hayley, Nancy Pelosy, Macro Rubio, Mike Pompeo, and the entire cabinet of AIPAC.
A good & great ambassador for the good normal Americans.😊
Definitely not on the payroll of neurotic American politicians ... 😁👍
Western media:.
they are forced to dance, have a great dinner and to be happy.
❤❤❤Thats the life all Palestinians should have❤❤❤
可惜巴勒斯坦不是中国
因为中国有强大的政府保护人民,而巴勒斯坦不强大,只能被以色列和美国欺负。一个国家一定要有一个强大的政府,强大的军队,还要有厉害的武器。。
See, Americans love and care about Chinese more !!!
Xinjiang is such a beautiful part of Western China. It is such a successful integration of Chinese and Middle Eastern cultures. You can see it in their social gatherings as well as physical traits through inter-ethnic blending.
Thanks for sharing this "in the trenches" view of real life in Xinjiang.
Well it’s actually not that middle-eastern😂but considering Central Asia and Middle East have so many communications and similar geographical features, I guess we can say in some extent this does show some middle eastern culture😂but it’s mainly mainly central asian culture
I wish the people in Gaza had this type of ge no ci de, 🇵🇸
Er, even most of the west citizen couldn't have such enjoy life
@@jchen4365 I agree and I live in the number one country the u s 🤦🏻♂️
damn bro..
@@Gigika313self proclaimed #1 for ignorant people still living in a well
damn bro, that's hurting
12:16 ❤ It literally put tears in my eyes to see small kids having fun in such a loving and safe occasion. Sad that some kids in this world are threatened by war.
the most terrible thing is that USA want to change this place into Gaza!!!
your words bring me tears
任何孩子都有权利享受快乐的童年,但事实确是很多孩子处于战火和饥饿的环境中。
Xinjiang was already part of China in ancient times. Though they have their own language and religion there was never a big issue until America decided to divide the country .
Don’t give US too much credit for this one. It’s actually the Great Britain trying to divide the Xinjiang from China.
感谢阳离子带我游中国,作为一个南方人,真不知道新疆的传统婚礼原来这么有趣。谢谢你😄
The wedding culture is very similar to Persian like Iran Afghanistan Tajikistan
That candy make from sugar in Persian calling Nabat but they mix with saffron . Using with tea very much better than the sugar . Katherine I feel like you are in love with old village in China . Old village old houses are my favorite I love so much
Hazari has a same genetic and cultural background. One is persecuted in Iran, Iraq and especially in Afghans and the world community fails to mention it just like Gaza Palestinian.
In ancient China, Xinjiang was a place of exchange for various countries
every one is dancing 😊😊😊
Uyghurs are a mix of Persians (Tajiks, Tuhuoluos), Han Chinese, and Mongolians. Han Chinese paternal genes account for 21%. Mongolians, Turks, Khitans, and Uighurs account for 6.1%. The other 60% are from Persia. So the wedding customs should be similar to those of Persia and Tajiks.
Thank you K for opening the curtain of the Uyghurs. The image expressed here is quite different by the news media and government. By exposing truth, you may change the mind of many people and possibly save lives. You are a hero.
What a beautiful land and generous culture. Love the public fruits and berries! They should do that in every country.
9:15 I know what that grandpa said to him, without he speaking it out 😂😂😂
He must be told: boy you have a chance, get that girl besides you done.😂😂😂
Hope time froze and Kat has her love forever.
Grandpa was on point!
I don't think this guy fits her from a third perspective.
She need a man, not a boy after another.
But, we are not her, so, best wishes to her.
That old man told him to make some Eurasian babies with that pretty blond girl.😂
哈哈哈,一看他俩的表情就知道🤣
Turpan Basin, also known as Gaochang Basin in ancient times, this magical area can produce the sweetest fruits in the world, which is a gift of nature, but here in the earthquake zone, there are several small earthquakes every year, so the buildings in Turpan are not tall.
but Gaochang itself is not in the basin.... :
Never been to the west of China, looks incredible 🤩 Thanks for sharing as always!
You assembled "The -A Team" both your team mates are charming in their own ways. I like how you pull the rug under our feet, 1st day she has a kid and 2nd telling your friend he's an uncle. I saw the existential crisis in his eyes 😂 that was equal to seeing 10 chickens in your videos.🎉
Lmfao
Thanks Kat for sharing the festive wedding in Turpan. This brought back so many childhood memories, especially the music by those grandpas. 😊I had never been to a Uyghur wedding but we can all remember the music played on the back of a truck (that had not changed) coming and going many blocks away! My hometown is Urumqi which is not far from Turpan but I had only visited Turpan once. It was during the hottest days of summer, I remembered it was 44C (110F) degrees. However, we mostly stayed under miles and miles of grape vines and the stream of irrigation provided by Qanat (坎儿井)kept us cool. Turpan is a special place to visit no matter the season, if you know where to look. (BTW, those grandpas were probably gossiping about Aysajan and you.😅 That habit probably transcends cultures and countries.) Can’t wait for your next Xinjing VLog! (Maybe Ili 伊犁?)❤
阳离子出品必属精品,看之前先点赞以表敬意!
What a place! No wonder why Xinjiang is fast becoming one of the must-visit destinations in China. Great video, thank you for making it 👍.
I've always known you were brave but to do a vlog for Xinjiang is another level. Your ex was a fool for letting you go and I hope you continue to find joy in life.
Yes, he's a fool indeed for letting Katherine slip away.
I thought Katherine dumped him.
八卦的人们小角落😂
@@vestasharp6861
I think he broke one of his teeth trying to gnaw on some dried up food item in Kashgar or Tashkurgan and also mentioned how Xinjiang girls were so attractive. Whatever it was it was a signal.
@@chintham2861my wife knows there are pretty girls in Xinjiang and Sichuan and enjoy looking at them too and encourages me to have free look too. Nothing wrong with looking.
This duo is absolutely comedy gold! Very much enjoyed the interactions and culture. also assyajan’s dichotomy between professional and being a goofball is really good haha. What a wholesome delight of a video
USA spy.
and ya, please tell Katherine dont let aj sing in her next video 🤪🤪
这个男孩子憨憨的很可爱,希望继续看到他
@@jingren6385 He might be her new Uyghur boyfriend.
@@wodechannel 我觉得这正是悄悄话的内容🤣
The second wedding is just so informative and halarious.
1. What a beautiful couple!
2. When Assyajan said the Uyghur wedding lasts 2 days, I instantly associated it to one of the episodes of Hot in Cleveland talking about Indian wedding, "they last 7 days and spend a fortune"
3. never thought a village restaurant in Turpan has such a huge LCD screen...
LCD is very cheap in CHINA
Really like your positive attitude towards outside world. That is one of major reasons why Americans are still popular in the world no matter how politicians in US do to the rest of world.
yes❤❤❤
Xinjing cotton is the best quality ❤
Yes it is
小点声,别让外国人知道了跟我们抢
Also Ximjiang raisins, wine, tomatoes, dates, Goji berries....
forced machine labor.
谢谢,真的很喜欢你的视频!维族同胞能歌善舞,作为一个看着《阿凡提》,听着《娃哈哈》长大的一代,对新疆有着深厚的感情。
娃哈哈不是喝的吗?
@@uers-00seven 有一首新疆风情的歌曲《娃哈哈》,一听旋律就能想起来。以下是搜索的信息:娃哈哈是由石夫记谱、填词的儿歌,曲调来自新疆维吾尔族艺人肉孜阿洪的一首弹拔乐曲。该曲创作于1954年11月,于1956年在《儿童音乐》刊物上发表。
@@uers-00seven 咱两个不是一代人,你还年轻啊
我高中有新疆部的,感觉每次有活动都会让他们出来跳一段😂,真就不分男女人人能歌善舞。
@@ArcRain哥们哪里人我学校也有个新疆部,温州的
Love the "Uighur aunty" bright-colours aesthetic! Where I'm from it's muted colours and darker tones, even for weddings.
This eye-opening video has a marriage of reality with happiness! :D
Thanks Katherine for showing us the beauty of Turpan Xinjiang. Cheers!
Your guide sings beautifully. He's really the hope of the village.
The top Chinese Drama actress is Dilraba Dilmurat (Dil in Hindi means heart and Dilruba in Hindi means heart stealer) (Dilmurat means heart desire, murat means desire). Dilraba Dilmurat is Uyghur and the best looking actress in China. She appeared in many CD TV series.
WOW. Thanks for the information.
@@4-SeasonNature
You are welcome.
Haven't seen her acting improved a single bit over the years. 😂
@@ChichiShu
Elvis Presley was a box office star. My uncle took me (I was a kid about 10 or 11) and my brother to see a movie Loving You with Lizabeth Scott and Wendel Corey. When Elvis appeared in blue jeans on stage to sing Love Me Tender all the girls screamed. I didn't understand it at all as he didn't seem so special to me. My uncle also took us to see Bill Haley and All Around the Clock. I thought those rockers were crazy shaking and moving to music. But it introduced me to fast music. I was truly surprised. This was the first time rock and roll appeared in the world.
Movies are made to make money. Any person with star power i.e. can capture an audience or fans with looks and talent can be a movie star. People go to see Dilraba because she is beautiful. What more can one expect. There aren't too many people in China who are beautiful. Most Chinese are short and ugly just like me.
Speak for yourself, not all Chinese. Yu Shi ,Wu Lei, Xiao Zhan, Wei Daxun, Li Xian are all mesmerizingly good looking. You just sound like a pathetic loser@@chintham2861
the guide is wiiiild ! lmao, him to kids : lemme taste that ice cream . lmao
Yeah that one threw me LOL try that in the US and ppl will think ur a pervert, in XJ people seem to think it’s completely normal to have a bite of a random kid’s food 🤣🤣
@@kats_journey_east Will this kind of thing be handled by the American police?
没想到他会真的去咬一口😂😂😂😂
I am dying to visit Xinjiang, my mom's family are Uyghurs. Love your trips! Keep up the great adventures.
That's the lands with abandon beautiful people and places, with great hospitality and friendliness.😮
Wedding crashing is always fun, and when done the right way. Thanks for showing the different cultures and how diverse China can be. Your videos are very enjoyable social study classes.
油管上最懂中国的旅游博主之一!
Thanks for your vedio letting us know what is going on in Xinjiang, which is sharply contrast to the western media depicted.
The beauty of its people, culture, and environment calls me to visit Xinjiang soon. Nice video as always, we learn from you without fake news.
Video yang sangat menarik. Saya menduga pak tua yang ada divideo ini mengatakan pada AJ bahwa Katherine cocok untuk jadi pacarnya.
Agree with you!
Thanks for showing us the day to day lives of people in Xinjiang.
So intriguing and so different from what the MSM presents to the world.
Glad yiu are able to revisit Xinjiang.
What a wonderful video of a local wedding celebration! Thank you.
One KOL in Hongkong has organized tours to northern part of Xinjiang in the summer and southern part of Xinjiang in autumn etc. The scenery spectacular! Their visit also to one of the largest horses city as they reported that fine horses are important to the cavalry in the old days. They reported that horse auctions could fetch more than millions dollars a fine horse! Hope you can visit more of the cities in Xinjiang as each city has a bit of the characteristics!
Hope to see some more of Xinjiang this summer and next year 😄 stay tuned
Thanks Katherine! You have positive attitude and full of energy. Well done and keep up the good work.
Great video showing the real life in Xinjiang where all the people are very happy.
Beautiful bride and groom.
I feel dancey when I listen to the music. I can hear the Middle Eastern influence.
Not surprised because Xinjiang sits on the old Silk Road.
YAY!! IM SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS YOUNG MAN AGAIN.VWONDERFUL WEDDING. WONDERFUL PEOPLE. BRAVO.
it seems all of them knew how to dancing. amazing I will take my time to travel there one day.
Hi Katherine, gave us some beautiful bird's eye shots of the wedding.....you had a rare opportunity to witness such a beautiful event . Those berries you had were raspberries...usually very sweet and tasty....see you in the next.... from Europe.
I think it's mulberries
They are actually mulberries.
Thanks for correcting. Some years ago, driving through the Pyrenees, we picked some from the roadside and they told me they were raspberries.
@@yuehanslam1593Raspberry is bigger but has bigger seeds inside.
your personality is so fun and interesting, I wish there were more people like you
You're videos so interesting Katte from Indonesian
That was great. I just love your videos, its such a pleasure to watch always.
Katherine has to break it to Aysajan if she wanted to spare him a heartbreak. The guy is too pure.
Another excellent video
Thank you for this lovely video. Always warms my heart. Hope you have a great journey!
This was so amazing and fabulous... simply priceless. I am thoroughly enjoying all your videos and can't wait for more videos from Xinjiang....
Wish the brides and grooms prosper life and many children ! Lovely people and so peaceful and joyful Turpan, Xinjiang.
great video🎉🎉🎉 Katherine
Alas, the reunion with your Uyghur comrades! Such a fascinating culture.
Any consideration to relocate to a rural community in Xinjiang some day?
Never heard the ✂️ party term used🎉🎈 😁 nor realized the summer temperatures can reach 40c+ in this region.
Wow, it’s amazing.
fascinating ceremony thx good show
Very momentous event. Wish the New couple peace and happiness. I have not seen a video like this because you have to be invited. Kate lucked out.
Looking forward to your future Xinjiang videos!
❤what a beautiful pictures❤
From your perspective, I can see different explorations from your observation. Good job.
Beautiful big mullberries!
SUCH A GREAT AWSOME WAY TO RECORD LIFE
mind blowing!
Happy life ❤❤
Thanks Katherine for a very interesting episode. The local variety of Mulberry look very delicious.
Those mulberry are very good!
Beautiful
How beautiful and what very kind people and children 🙂❤️
Your guide Aysajan is so fun haha
Wow.. just wow! & I'm so happy to see your handsome, & gentleman companions again. Again, Thank you very much Katherine for sharing your lovely video's. As always watching this from: Seattle, Washington from USA with LOVE. ❤
So Beautiful ,i so wish to see more. great culture. Great video. Thanks.
Beautiful things from beautiful people and great joy on this special occasion
Beautiful Xinjiang!
吐鲁番盆地我去过俩次。8,9 🈷去比较理想。我是有当地的朋友做陪伴,维吾尔族年轻人,他们的普通话都很棒,除了一些年长的人,沟通交流方面确实有一些困难,。总之新疆是个美丽好地方,语言方面的互动或交流还重要,记得入乡随俗,动听的新疆维吾尔,融入哈萨克族歌曲的神韵会让人舒坦。
dear Katherine, love the way U narrative, comment e.g. "warm-up dance", "wake up the ppl in a radius of a km", etc 😂😂🤣🤣
Those are mulberry ! My love !
Very joyful episode! I like it. For your information, Katherine, traditionally in the other rural area of China, wedding is also celebrated for three days. The difference is how it is celebrated.
AAWWW W NICE GRAPES .. THEY MAKE AWESOME RAISINS .......... MATSU AQUI ICI
Oh my god, I am super jealous. I wanted to go last year but all the HSR tickets were fully booked because it was everyone's first summer holiday since China opened up from their lockdown.
You two make a good pair
Love your videos! :D Love how the guy just ate popsicle of some random kid! 😂😂
主打一个不见外~
Main them is "we're all brothers".
谢谢!
谢谢支持❤️
哈,去吐鲁番啦,我2019年去过那里,那里的葡萄好好吃哦,就是好热呀
best quality
We love mulberries in australia too 😊
Kate, amazing you are in Xinjiang! The scenery there is gorgeous. The weather is lot different than that you are well used to in Zhejiang and Jiangsu - a bit dry, harsh and extreme. People are not as soft as those in Eastern China. Anyway, hope you enjoy your stay.
???浙江江苏干燥恶劣?
@@user-go8nc2ww1nWork on your reading comprehension. OP meant Xinjiang.
你多虑了,视频里那个新疆小伙子是kate 的男朋友,新疆的气候问题在人家恋人眼里都不是事,你没发现最近kate眼里都是星星吗?哈哈...
@@suhuaxu哈哈哈哈,“人家郎才女貌,____。”
Fascinating how preserved the language, culture and music is across almost 5,000 kilometers
在中国,我们尊重任何民族的文化,因为我们都是中国人
全村的希望會保護你😂😂😂
Yum 🤤 those were black mulberries you found. So sweet and juicy. What a treat.
Thank-you for sharing this interesting video clip! You are such a brave gal, Katherine. May each new day bring you peace and blessings. Take good care of yourself. Cheers!🍻
cough Xiaoyezi is very cute cough :D
Katherine thank you for a snapshot of a place that we in the 'west' hear so little about.
It would be great if you to places like Tacheng and Tekas in Xinjiang which are unique in cityscape.
