for a good 2 minutes i thought you were blondie in china
Nothing but admiration for anyone undertaking a solo 2000k bike tour in a foreign country, holding down a job, and creating some of my favorite content on the internet! I read in another comment you're "taking your time" editing (not enough hours in the day) the video, but selfishly the wait is killing me. Thanks, have fun, and stay safe.
Shill doesn't count as a job
Great to have you back Katherine! It is very fresh contents you are making here. You know, it is not a new phenomenon that foreign influencers flocked in to report China. But we often got bored soon by those view count oriented contents which seeks too much attention on the bling bling(hardware) side of China. You on the other hand refuse to be classified as those and continuously do it your way without a single step back. How precious it is! Your focus on the ordinary people, rural areas rarely seen from other bloggers, cultural aspects of a transforming society and seemingly trivial matters like environmental topics are actually more revealing of how China it is today. You have reported more of a China an ordinary person will likely to experience than those bling bling bloggers do. Thanks for your hard work. Please keep up! Take care of yourself and safe journey.
yup. She shows the real China and how much progress the Chinese restore nature and improving the green economy. The west just talk green while China is just quietly doing it.
👍🏻 🦉
Sorry to keep disappearing, it takes forever to edit these videos especially in between long days of biking and other work projects 🥲🥲 I am doing my best 😜 glad you like these vlogs, more coming soon 🚲
Excellent description of what Katherine does.
Cattt: Even the big cities are China. Her fans claim that the real China is rural China. No, the real China is BOTH the cities and rural China. Americans insist that China is poor and rural. China has fantastic cities too. They sure are cleaner and have fewer crimes than those in the USA.
It's always a joy to watch Katherine lights up with villages, goats encounter, funny conversations, clean waters, random couch and most of all, her seemingly tiring bike rides, though not to her. :)
If you believe China is a peaceful and progressive country, raise your hand ✋🙋👍

Alas, the elusive wild couch makes another appearance! You must have quite the charm and presence for a lady to offer her son in marriage. Safe travels.
It is remarkable how China manage to restore all these temples in these third or fourth tier cities/villages. I was travelling in a couple of them last month and it's like those shown in this video.
its not only that, they still build even new temples . I live a bit further north from shanghai, in nantong area, and there i went to a buddhist temple looking like the old ones you know, only that it was build from 2018-2021, and still needs some final adjustments. Here they also copied an ancient garden with a big merchants house (from the qing dynasty) for relaxing purposes, it looks exactly like the original. If you look around you will find a lot of gems here in China , I am so glad to have moved to China withmy chinese wife.
@@WilhelminaRaThat Buddhist temple was built by donations from local businesses, as are most new temples. They build as funds become available. The temple you mentioned has its own vege plot that provides for the supply of greens... I had dinner with the head monk a couple of times several years ago!! 😂
Could someone kindly explain the concept of city/village tiers? Thanks
@@jackolantern7342 it's a categorization of the GDP and population of any given city, 1st tier being the highest that include Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, etc and tier 2 includes cities like Guiyang, Changchun, Dalian, and Harbin.
It is remarkable how China manage to do so many things such as space program, GPS, HSR, roads, bridges, renewable energies (hydroelectricity, solar power, thermal, nuclear, etc.), alleviation of poverty, education, 5G, health care, environmental clean up, just to name a few. And this was done within last 10 to 20 years.
Thanks for showing little known Chinese cities/towns with touch of environment topic. Definitely a unique channel.
How wonderful it is to cycle around. Great video Kat.
Viajar donde tú corazón te lleve, libre como el viento, sin temor por tu integridad personal y derrochando alegría con la gente común del pueblo y recibiendo el cariño de un pueblo pacífico y amable, a la vez que vas mostrando la belleza y la buena preservación de los lugares donde llegas, es la forma ideal del buen vivir!
Highly appreciate your presentations of some insights into certain perspectives and mindset of different members of the Chinese society. Thank you and wish you good travelling and developments Katherine.
Kudos to your adventurous spirit and successful cycling journey.👍 Keep spreading the positive vibes and cheer among locals.✌️
在中国骑行 哪都是安全的 没有危险
The beautifull local people as always dont disapoint me. As always China in your travels is China i love more and more 🥰
Katherine was quickly demoted from "Russian beauty" (俄罗斯的美女) to "American friend" (美国的朋友). 🤣🤣😂😂😜😜
Lmao
@@kats_journey_east There must be a lot more "Russian beauties" in China than there are "American friends." 😄

I love your videos. One suggestion: Maybe you could show us what kinds of hotels you can find when travelling the provinces. And if possible, please share how much lodging in such places costs. Cheers from Denmark.
There is some information about this in a couple of the upcoming videos , stay tuned 😜

China nowadays plenty of hotels available,don’t worried

Hi 阳离子, been your subscriber for a few years now, from Nanjing, love your video as always. Just a small thought off the topic, the very thing got me thinking when the stranger in the video taking selfie with you was calling you russian girl, to me it is nearly impossible to imagine a russian girl with your traits. Actually the US is probably one of the few countries that can actually produce or educate someone like you, open-minded, adventurous, easy-going, confident and willing to embrace culture from other places, not saying Russia doesn't have this type of person, but the very thing you strike me as an American at first impression means something. Only for this matter I think we need to have a healthy and strong tie with your nation, even though Washington today is filled with anti-China sentiments and politician and China vice-versa in certain degree. Hope the kind of you can keep 加油, contents like this deserve way more credits then it does now.
Happen to bump into your channel this morning and immediately get attracted by the sceneries of countryside and small town in Wen Zhou. Keep going and show us more of your exciting tours of China.

She went from a Russian beauty to an American friend. Wow. lol

As an environmentalist, I salute you!
In China, you can travel freely and safely.❤
说的没错😂😂
Lovely vlog Katherine! I so so like these bike tours! Perfect way to experience the country. Can't that you enough for showing China the way no westerner ever could (except You)!
Glad you like them, more coming soon😎😎I have so much footage but just not enough time to edit 🤣🤣
Came for the red stallion, stayed for the jumping, screaming goats
Kat, please write a book document your journey biking through China ! It would be great read I'm sure
没有听说过温州？ 哇
She meant she'd never heard of Yueqing.
😍🤩😂Never failed to put a smile across my face. Thanks!
Chinese people are really warm, they always smile and touch you when you meet for the first time, the atmosphere is really warm.
You manage to capture our attention by showing all different cuts of random interesting things going aroun while on the bike tours . Good job 👏 and keep it up. 👍
thank you for visiting my little unknown hometown city! Never thought foreigner would find it endearing. I'm so glad you enjoy its beauty
The answer to the ultimate question of life lies in the countryside, anywhere, anytime.
"We Chinese don't want to live to 100. It's too tiring." 😂

Thanks for showing us small town China. I've loving every minute of it. What you notice on your journey and the commentary that accompanies it is bar none the wittiest when it comes to China vloggers. You've got to get into comedy. I can envision you doing witty banters back and forth. 🦉🦜
Your video is awesome ! Hope can meet you when you come back to Chengdu someday .Safe RIDE.

刚注意到，你的T-shirt上面怎么印着"存款过亿留念"😂😂我也想买一件
One funny thing is almost every Chinese assume Katherine as a Russian😂😂You have to admit being a Russian in China will bring you much convenience and warmth. But still, as you can see in the video, being an American in China isn't bad either.🥰
Kath, love your posts and adventures and looked forward to watching them. Honestly, you and a few other Westerners living in China have awoken the half-Chinese part of me which makes me yearn to go back to that part of me. And hearing you guys speaking fluent Mandarin makes me green with envy! P/S: Still not sure what you do for a living and, I think, that is the 3rd time someone mistaken you for being Russian.
"Lots of these guys" are guardian lions (known in Chinese as shi or shishi (石獅) which are placed on both sides of Chinese houses, buildings, and temples to guard against evil spirits. Interestingly, these did not originate in China itself, but in Persia which were presented as gifts to the Han court by Persian diplomats and, by the sixth century CE, they had become popular as guardian representations for the rich and powerful.
I work at an environmental organization , this bike tour is a repeat of the one my boss did 20 years ago. I’m making some fun little vlogs out of it but a lot of footage is going to be used for work projects as well . Observations about environmental changes over the years etc
Interesting to hear about the origin of the lions😎😎
@@kats_journey_east Yes, Katherine, from your past videos I know you are working for an environmental organization and also you are bicycling a 2000 kilometers journey following in the footsteps of your present boss. However, I am still trying to get an idea on what you actually do... a.k.a your job description... coz you really have not been dropping many hints in your videos as you had said you would some videos back. I'll keep on following and trying to figure that out. Cheers, all the best and...ehhh... keep on bicycling ✌😁
Babe wake up, new Katherine video has dropped!
Lmao
I would say they are not lazy but want to feel comfortable. If they can afford things that make them feel comfortable they will. The other thing is the deeply rooted status complex and judging other based on material things one posses. If one commutes to work by bike he or she is seen as poor. I came across those park and ride subway stations where the people could oark their car and take metro to work. The chibese dont like doing so. Not comfortable and no status on metro train. Very simplistic mentality.
Lovely and poetic scernery from a UT clip of a young HK girl who currently studies and works in Bejing and who recenty visited her ancestor's town of Wenzhou in Zhejiang. "溫州近郊一日遊"
Lovely goats. And your smile 🎉
Katherine is a wonderful, adventurous girl. 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Love your positive vibes Katherine. I'm a Singaporean in China. Love watching what you up to!
Cathy wearing a shirt that says " 中国银行 存款过亿留念” loosely translated in English as " Bank of China, Billionaire account holder " 😂
I assure you those lazy guys just representing themselves, especially those low educated and lower ranking people, we have all kinds of groups you can imagine, for me I like motorbike touring and Marathon, gym training and other training, China is in a transforming process where people's attitudes towarding health and lifestyle are various, so don't be fooled by some of those opinions🙂
3:15 welcome Russian beauty.😂😂😂❤😂😂😂
哦哦哦哦，I miss the time when I travelled around with my red Decathlon.
Hahaha, your t-shirt is dope, sis! 😆
正在玩D3，我还以为不小心把WoW打开了呢
So humorous with local interactions. The things I have heard so far watching this channel: that you are an American spy, a potential wife for their son, or that you are a Russian.
like your tee with the text 存款过亿元留念(commemorating a deposit of over 100 million)😂
In China, the first impression of any foreigners are from Russia, especially when you are a blonde beautiful girl.
Pretty
love that “Memento for being billionaire” T-shirt
Thanks for your real videos
All I can watch in both Uk and USA are the Ai Reel videos😢😢
Watching them …
no wonder their local folks think that all Chinese folks live in CcP controlled concentration camps/cities😢😢

Katherine, do you think white girls are very attractive in China? Do you think Chinese guys really want to find a white girl?
Interesting and observant young lady!
Hey Katherine,love to watching all your vlog,it amazing,especially the way you speak mandarin,love your accent ,and your vlog had some funny moments 😄 you are like sunshine on a rainy day 💛
Memento T-shirt for deposit over one hundred million CNY.😂
100millions confirmed, nice T-shirt.
You should wear helmet in a proper way. It must be tight. Otherwise it is like you are not wearing anything.
Katherine, your proficiency with Chinese is unquestionable. Do you have the same feeling that a Chinese have when you listen to a Chinese song, like this one: ruclips.net/video/lmIM7f1rGpQ/видео.html

中国人懒？😂这世界上你能找到比中国人还勤快的人吗😂还有第二个，你不喜欢骑是你自己的事，中国爱骑车爱运动的人一大把！
Love you ，stay awesome
Fun fact QiDu Island used to be where all the poor of Wenzhou lived.
Another fact. Wenzhou is the only port on China's coast that didn't surrender to the Japanese in ww2.
My Great Great Grand Father talk to Japanese commanders and bail out his son in the war. More like a classic hostage situation. My Great Grand father and his men got caught by the Japanese on the mountain hideout due to local boy giving away the hide out. So my GG Father paid the Japanese commander to let him and his men go. Gold/Silver/antiques exchange for men.
Oh My G Father after the civil war was briefly arrested/ready for execution for being part of a capitalist class. The peasants remind the local boss. They won't be able to read any of the Central Gov commands to them. The solider's didn't understand Wenzhounese that was being discuss lol. So they went along with the local party member. Who was educated outside. Wasn't there for ww2.
My family didn't hand in weapons till after China open up and our way to the train station to leave for the West. The old men who still alive. Went to the local gov and told them were the caves of caches of weapons are. My family serve the Chinese gov/Dynasty for hundreds of years etc.. Their responsibility was to provide weapons to the local militia.
真的真的很漂亮啊，色彩缤纷风景秀丽❤
Sorry for the late comments but love your small city towns tour. You're the only one giving us those tuck away places which makes your vlog do unique. I hope you write about your cycle your in a story or picture book or better yet a documentary
Thanks for sharing another great episode of your tour.
I love the printings on your T-shirt!
这个县城我以前也从没听过。其实对于县城来说，除了几个在全国特别有名的，大多数的县都不太为人所知，除非你就是住在附近的。
一般来说我们介绍自己从哪来的，通常只会具体到 二级行政区。二级行政区指的是地级市、自治州、盟、地区。所以全国298个二级行政区，我敢说99%我都听过。但是再具体到下面的县（三级行政区），那就很多没听过了，实在太多了😂😂

Always great to see an update of your bike tour. That area at 9:22 looks pretty nice for an after dinner chill ride~
Oh yeah, hope you've applied some sunscreen on your arms. Might wanna consider grabbing one of those UV blocking biking sleeves if you chance upon one along the way.
yes I use sunscreen, I can't get accustomed to the biking sleeves they are sooo hot even the ones supposedly made of thin lightweight material

i am happy to hear that the govt is making progress toward a cleaner environment. hope the earth is not too late to be saved if all countries do that. love from canada.
My goodness, why do you torture yourself so much riding those unending miles, on this old fashioned bicycle. I’m sure many electric bike makers would be dying to sponsor you. Take care. From Malaysia
it's not torture hahaha this bike is very comfortable, I like it better than the fancy fast road bikes where you are hunched over the handlebars. would be nice if I could get a bike sponsorship though ;)
Since I have being regaled by your vlogs, I like to have reciprocal in kind tales of my travels sometimes amusing, maybe. I was boarding a popular US airline at the fuselage entrance, a transfer flight between New York and Los Angeles, what appeared to be a customer service woman agent unceremoniously handing out a brown paper bag to each and every passenger from a big cardboard bin lined with plastic trash bag, quitely. All the passengers had more or less puzzled expressions. When I sat down at my assigned seat to open my brown paper bag, it revealed a delicious NY delicacy - my first pastrami half sandwich with american mustard and some cold water. I didn't know of its existence till then but much much later at Harry meets sally's on tv reruns and food channel. I have never struck this again. Perhaps to compensate for air stewardesses strike, it was far more efficient boarding and exiting😂and I loved the quirky memory hahaha.
your comment about the wild couch is so cute, hahaha
I am hoping that China will continue to improve in this trajectory. I live in Australia now, but I am looking forward to make more visits to China with my young family. I am hoping that I will be able do a lengthy road trip in the near future
