CHINA OFF THE BEATEN PATH 🚲🌻 Sharing my life in rural China 🐓🌾
Hi everyone, I'm Katherine from the United States 🇺🇸 currently living in a mountain village in northern Zhejiang Province. I got my masters in Environmental Engineering at Nanjing University and I am now working at an environmental organization called Green Zhejiang while also running this RU-vid channel. Come with me on a journey of discovering the endless stories of China's people and its beautiful scenery from oceans to mountains to villages to everything in between - and a few interesting snippets of working at a Chinese NGO 🏞

Katherine you're a star. I love your videos so refreshing, educational and eye opener as we all learn about a country which is not shown very much of and is so atractive and fascinating. It make me feel a different person, is so therapeutic is amazing it has something special about it and you fit in like a lovely warm glove, bless you. Enjoy the meal dear friend🙂👏❤.

Catherine, the going down with the ship comment only applied to military ships. Plus, I don't think it's used much more than a nostalgic memory from traditional lore. Admiral Nelson probably followed this tenet of honor, but I don't know that he lost any ships under his command.
Dear very sweet lady what a lovely corner of heaven you've found, what else does one want? Your house is so cute, the little animals the sunshine and rain the very good loving neighbours, the happy dancing ladies makes it even more joyful, wow, and the welcome party with your dear colleagues make a wonderful picture. Hope you're not far away from amenities and wish you all the best and enjoy your life in loving China, bless you and China with all its wonderful things. Amazing video👏🙂👏!
when you are visiting PuTuo Shan, the best thing you will do is swiming and floating in the ocean. The water is warm and salty so you can even sleep and swim for hours without being afraid of sinking.
Thank you for showing us this idyllic lifestyle lol. This was what I grew up in before I left China in 1983. I haven’t been back since. But I miss it terribly. It was just like this village, minus the cars, roads, TVs and karaoke, haha. We barely had any bicycles lol. And only 1-2 TVs in the entire village. Everybody would gather in my neighbors yard at night to watch a show in the evening. And then by 7/8 pm it was lights out.
Jin Dynasty is late than Tang Dynasty and existed the same time as Song Dynasty. Relics of the Jin Dynasty are very rare because Jin only last one hundred years and controlled limited area.
it is very convenient to take shipyards to reach Mount Putuo. Putuo is very famous among Chinese and is a holy mountain and blessed land for Guanyin in Buddha.
Wow! Lived in XJ for 39 years, I never seen Han Uyghur wedding like this. Seems re-education camps really transformed people - marrying Han people and maybe eat pork now? And still say there is no cultural genocie?!
Your technique of photographing scenic spots is no worse than all your previous videos. I like it very much. ❤ What I saw in Shanxi is the China of my dreams! Thank you for sharing
At the bus depot in Xiaoxing, we were met by the usual array of people shouting and trying to sell us goods and or services and I was surprised when my wife stopped to listen to one of them. We finally agreed a price with him of 240 RMB, about £24 for him to drive us around for a few hours, on his 3 wheel bike, with a sort of canopy. I guess this is a development of the rickshaw, quite a good way to see the sights, although a bit bumpy and anyway the bus depot was a long way from any recognisable places of interest and we wouldn’t have known where to start on our own. Next time though, I think we’d be better to go with a Group package. We went through some really primitive areas, with people washing clothes in the semi stagnant canals, a little bit like Venice, but not so Grand. Washing was hanging everywhere and the water didn’t look too clear, but it smelt fresh enough and the clothes looked OK. The first stop was the house of a famous writer, Lu Xin, who apparently falsely accused a Bhuddist monk of stealing a pearl, which had in fact been swallowed by his pet goose. The monk was so disappointed with the accusation that he hung himself and later when the goose died, they discovered the pearl, when preparing a meal of roast goose. The writer was so shocked, that he converted his large house to a shrine to Bhudda, in which capacity it remains today. Next stop was a small street running along a canal, very narrow and with people’s open doors right next to you, so you felt you were almost intruding, as they went about their daily routine, squatting down, washing clothes in the river, sweeping the path and preparing food. Various forms of kipper like fish were hanging from a wooden shelter along the path, as you dodged about through the washing hanging up to dry. We bought some sweet cakes from a chap along this path, quite delicious, made of rice and bean paste, with a peppermint flavour; all very clean and wrapped up nicely, about 6 RMB for 10. Some old man stopped us along the way and said, in English, ‘ You’re here!’ ‘That’s right' we replied, ‘ having a look round’. ‘Having a look round’ he agreed and walked on.
