Kats and family. It's astonishing and beautiful how much love and energy you share with the world. Eye wish you and your family happiness and beauty. Thank you for producing and sharing.
May I say that you are the most honest, unbiased, and down-to-earth foreign vlogger showing China to the world on UA-cam I know of. Thank you for presenting China and its reality in such faithful way. Enjoy every video you posted, keep up the great work.
😁确实,真的很少看到博主来到中国的农村,他们一般都是在大城市,但是那不是全部的中国,农村的中国才有意思,欢迎更多人来中国玩Indeed, it's quite rare to see bloggers visit rural areas in China. They usually stay in big cities, but that's not the entirety of China. The rural parts of China are where the real charm lies. We welcome more people to come and explore China.
You're amazing. Not only you're a genius at learning the Chinese language, you also adapt to their culture as well. Hope everything works out the way you wanted to.
Katherine. Great inspiration. I have always thought living in a big city where everything is easy reach is living the dream. Watching this beautiful rural area in China surrounded by misty mountain side feels so comfort, gives me another aspect of the truth meaning of life. Just want to say, thank you. 🙏
What a wonderful journey you are on! I amazed how up to date the house is in a rural area and how welcoming the neighbors are. Your recorded experiences have opened my eyes on life and people to people contact are throughout the country. Thank you for educating us.
She is the new Li Ziqi, as despite exalting from her fans, Li has been no show. Yang Yang will have to assume the mantle of idyllic and peaceful lifestyle. Hope Yang Yang can cook and perform all the other tasks, Li used to do. 😂😂😂
Good for you to experience rural life in Zhejiang. My grandparents left such a village in this part of world in their teenage years over 100 years ago. I visited the village about 10 years ago for the very first time. At that moment, I did feel in my heart that I have felt the pulse my root even though I did not know anybody and did not know where to go in the village. I tried my darndest to communicate in broken local dialect. Eventually with village storekeeper's help, I found the house my grandpa built for my great grandfather before WW2. Keep up and let us learn more about experience in such a village.
Wow! This village is just amazing. Your house is nice and cozy and the surrounding countryside is so relaxing and you look very happy in there. The right place where to live.Then you have wonderful friends and neighbours who bring you a lot of joy and happiness. Great video, as usual. Thank you very much and take care!
@@kats_journey_east I can't wait to see it! It must also smell amazing! I grew up in a rural area and the greenery smelled sweet! It's rare to find that nowadays, city greenery doesn't smell the same.
Congratulations on your new home in rural China. Your friends and colleagues are very nice to help u move and settle in. And your nice neighbours will ensure u are never out of food. Looks like the black dog has found a new home as well. 😁
I feel that most people prefer living in the nature like this if modern conveniences are available. I think China can create a new way of life with their superb connectivity infrastructure and.
you are one brave woman, I admire. I know china is safe. I used to live in china for many years in both city and small mountain villages. But I have friends to stay with, never alone for long. I find in the village, everyone know about your movement and you don't them. lol I got a flat in shanghai now, but i left empty for nearly 3 years now. I will be back there next years. I wish you happy and good fortune in your new place. Fengshui is very important in chinese points of views. if you are happy with what you see every day. you are happy. congratulation and good luck. I love watch all your videos, it is funny and fun
Very nice indeed, we are botth jealous. Not only is your house more than enough, but the scenery is absolutely amazing. I told Huan you will have a dog before long and probably a yard full of chickens, ducks and geese! Looking forward to the future videos very much.
Oh wow. The neighbours are so welcoming - that’s awesome . I can see you’re smitten by this village ! And with the view of the mountains from your house, and that unbelievable National Geographic front cover - worthy sunset on your walk - Wow ! However, the clincher for me has to be the volunteer guard dog 😅
10:10 the mountainous villages are unbelievably beautiful, peaceful n pollution-less, nice neighborhood villagers always around, oh look at the rosy sunset sky amazing broh😊
I really enjoy ALL of your vids. They offer a unique, scenic, peaceful glimpse of China that we don’t often get to see here in the U.S.. THANX Katherine.
Wow good luck in this new chapter in your life. Thank you for taking us on yet another journey in rural China. Your house has a view of the mountains and sky to die for. You are going to be spoilt. The villagers do not know yet but their village is going to be made famous around the world by this American girl. You are so young yet you have embraced the the value of life that are acquired by people much older than you. You have that nature that chinese people are automatically drawn to you. I wish you alot of happiness in your village life and I will be following every story you put out.
Big Congrats to Catherine (Contemporary heroine 徐霞客)settling in a ideal rural home as you planned for a while It is always grateful and encouraging to see Catherine make the progress in your career and normal life. Be yourself and enjoy the natural is the key factors in your successful journey I always referred young people to visit your UA-cam videos if they want to learn Chinese or interested anythings in China
Your rural home and village are absolutely adorable. Oh that early dusk shot of the mountains, pinkish clouded sky and walking pathway is so magical. What you captured in this beautiful video reminds me of scenes from the Japanese cartoon - My Neighbour Totoro - But a Chinese version.
OMG This video makes me so nolstagic. It reminds me of the tiny village where I lived with my grandparents. The birds chirping in the morning, dogs walking freely to each other's yard, chicks and ducks walking around, aunties and grandmas dancing in any open free space. The only difference is that I was from Jiangsu, very close to Zhejiang but not so many mountains.
BTW, Catherine please allow me share some more thoughts . I grew up in rural farming area with rice fields surrounded by bamboo trees in Taiwan. But my mother is from the province you are now. The scenery from my bed room is pretty much like yours now. It’s so amazing how much similar life experience we have. This is most beautiful part of different cultures and people sharing experiences in common. Because we all love nature and humble to the nature
Your beautiful new house and your good mandarin have contributed so much of hope and wonderful village life as a foreigner in China. Chinese saying, when there is Ying and the Yang is there for you without much difficulty. Write a book and be the embassy between East and West will be a perfect idea, may be you already have something in mind to share. Good luck Catherine.
I ‘ve just started watching your videos and find them incredibly interesting. I’m from England and am amazed by the diversity of china so thank you for sharing your videos with us 🦔🐈❤️
Been following your channel for a while and you speak a little Chinese here and there but today I just found out how good your Chinese is! 👍👍👍 well done! Glad to see you keep enjoying your life in China!
Love your video! This house reminds me of the one I grew up in!!!🥰Haven't been back in decades... Will keep watching your videos and live vicariously through you :D🥰🥰🥰 Also as a youtuber, i got so much to learn from you, keep making authentic content and inspire other people!🤩
I also live in a village in Zhejiang Province. We have the "green road" alongeside the river too. I really like it, and the view when you take a talk along it.
So happy to see you have a wonderful life there. Get some chickens of your own. They are good companions, from morning till dusk. Other than dealing with their leftovers, they are pretty self sufficient. You don’t even need to feed them, as they will look for food by themselves. Having a few strolling in my yard, priceless.
Zhejiang is known as the “land of rice and fish” of China. In ancient time and today, it is one of the most prosperous and comfortable place for living. Because of this, you can find tons of poets, scholars, scientists and world caliber celebrities who are originally from this area! Congrats!
Im so glad you are living you dream . As we have one life all the things you've done so far brought you to this place. I wish you happy life in this house. ❤
Coming home late from work, exhausted. Swiched on the desktop. Here we have, my beloved Katherine, brought me yet again, a breeze of fresh air. All my trouble suddently seemed so far away......😋😍
It looks like you may have some sort of gourd or pumpkin already growing there at 9:15 Other things might also start to pop up if one of the neighbours was using the yard to grow things in prior years! Edit: There's a belief from India that considers soft rain when it's also sunny as auspicious! (Plus it also means there's a rainbow to be chased nearby!)
You are such an unique woman. I am envy you, respect you for your courage, inspiration. From my bottom of my heart, I wish you the best and I have been following you all the way from the beginning.
Great video! 🥰 You are living your dream. Thank you for sharing it. This is something I did in my younger years, but in Spain. I am now learning Chinese and would like to visit China someday. It's such a beautiful country and the language so fascinating. Enjoy your life to the fullest and may you always have peace, love, health and wealth. ☺
Understand why you want to live in a place with such a beautiful view. Bought a house in Fuzhou, not in the countryside but sort of hidden away and got those mountain views 😊
❤ A Chinese version of “Under the Tuscan Sun”. Just be aware some season in southern China could be very humid, mold grew on everything. You need to choose rug with right material or maybe put a dehumidifier device in the room.
It's a figment of your imagination. I am from Malaysia and the humidity is stifling, about 80% all year round. Yet things only turn mouldy if left wet and no ventilation. 😮😮😮
There is a reason why people don't use rugs. I also have a place in the rural area, threw out all the wooden furnitures and replaced with stainless steel ones.
wow, when I first saw your channel you had about 18k subscribers and I loved your content. In one of your vids you said it was a dream of yours to live in a Chinese village and I never forgot that. Now seeing you actually made the move it very surprising and impressive! Wish you all the best and looking forward to your videos!
There are pros and cons living in rural area in china, house's condition, including bath, the location if good for convenient public transportations, etc. i wish you be well prepared, do not cry in case there are some hardishes emerging. my architecture and medical back grounds, and the sensitive sixth sense empowering me be able to figure out something very quickly. The rugs wont be worked well because the moisture ground floor, a space should be there for airflowing beneath the rugs. Wish you good!
there is a bus stop 3 minutes away but it's a long haul to get to the city 😂 it takes me 2-3 hours with bus + metro to get wherever I'm going in the city but still worth it to live somewhere so beautiful
I have no idea which village it is, but I know it's in 余杭区. Last weekend when I was driving back to 杭州 from 德清, I came across a village called 青山村(Green Mountain Village), which really had quite similar scenary. BTW, that narrow country road from 青山村 to 莫干山 is such a perfect biking route, especially in autumn.
congrats on moving into such a beautiful village. what i like about this village it has mountains and water ( 有山有水 ). i live in the Canadian Prairie, a lot of places have no hills or water. it makes the place much less attractive. love from canada.
Congratulations on discovering such an ideal place to live and work! It's like a dream come true for those of us who have always yearned for this kind of lifestyle.
Catherine you are amazing; thank you for giving me some information about rural life in China and I look forward to learning how you have transformed your accommodation.
You are a few that speak English instead of Chinese in your VLOG. You are in a perfect position as a Chinese ambassador to the Western world. Keep it up, and I love your VLOG because you are so relax, honest, a natural!
Great job with decorating the house! Thanks for making these videos especially for those of us who were born in China and haven’t been back for 65 years or more like me! 👏👍💚
That chicken and dog that just showed up at your yard made it official. We are no longer seeing you visit rural China. You are rural China! Can't wait to see more of your liife around the village, Kat. 🚜 🐖 🐔 🌽
Yes there is one right behind my house and the view from the top is fantastic😍some other trails are in other villages too, I’ll share them in a future video 😎😎
You literally blasted a couple of holes in the clouds with those fire works and they leaked, what were you expecting?🤣 Good luck with your rural life! It should be fun and a great experience!
I lived in a village of Hubei Province Shiyan City for 3 years. That was great experience in Liu Li Ping Village. People are living commun lifes. Help each other. Even for some needs they just exchange but not use any money. Great life style for living. Not a stressful big city life. People are merry everyday. 😊
You are absolutely awesome taking on this adventure. You will look back years from now and realize your incredible journey. I wish I had that courage when I was younger. Such a beautiful place. Congratulations from LA!

You're amazing. Not only you're a genius at learning the Chinese language, you also adapt to their culture as well. Hope everything works out the way you wanted to.

so beautiful the life in rural! The dogs, chickens and children all are more happy than in cities. that's real life
Just like a dream life, living in a beautiful, peaceful and hospitable rural area. Good for you being able to realize such life. Cheers.
Love seeing those geese, chickens and pets running around freely. The main reason I subscribe to this channel.
Your videos are therapeutical to me. They let me see the beauty and simplicity of human society.

阳离子,我看到你的生活有了新的进展,我发自内心开心。院子很好看还有竹子,最重要的是你有同事陪伴你不会那么孤独,小山村景色很美。看这个视频的过程中我总是微笑着,你真是个善良美丽真诚的姑娘,我祈求上天能够让你美丽 健康 安全 长寿。❤️
南方的农村,大部分家庭的院子后面或者侧面都会有竹子,一方面是因为南方盛产竹子,另一方面是南方人认为竹子可以给家庭带来福气,竹子不但四季常青、韧性强,寓意:“家庭地运势好,儿孙满堂。”
不过有一点需要了解,就是风水学里,门前一定范围内不能种树和竹子。😁

It's a figment of your imagination. I am from Malaysia and the humidity is stifling, about 80% all year round. Yet things only turn mouldy if left wet and no ventilation. 😮😮😮
There is a reason why people don't use rugs. I also have a place in the rural area, threw out all the wooden furnitures and replaced with stainless steel ones.
That interior, absolutely the vibe from the 90s, especially the round corner shelving 😊
wow, when I first saw your channel you had about 18k subscribers and I loved your content. In one of your vids you said it was a dream of yours to live in a Chinese village and I never forgot that. Now seeing you actually made the move it very surprising and impressive! Wish you all the best and looking forward to your videos!
Looking forward to see what you done with the interior but curious what you will do to the outside of the house in the next months
The scenery at 5:00 looks so beautiful and relaxing. Enjoy your rural life in China ❤😊
That black dog brings you good luck. If it comes inside your house, it's a sign of new friendship to come that is sincere and caring.
I'm so jealous.....a life like that is something I can only dream of.
While people are moving to the city, Katherine is moving to the Chinese countryside. Great move!
There are pros and cons living in rural area in china, house's condition, including bath, the location if good for convenient public transportations, etc. i wish you be well prepared, do not cry in case there are some hardishes emerging. my architecture and medical back grounds, and the sensitive sixth sense empowering me be able to figure out something very quickly. The rugs wont be worked well because the moisture ground floor, a space should be there for airflowing beneath the rugs. Wish you good!
there is a bus stop 3 minutes away but it's a long haul to get to the city 😂 it takes me 2-3 hours with bus + metro to get wherever I'm going in the city but still worth it to live somewhere so beautiful
I have no idea which village it is, but I know it's in 余杭区. Last weekend when I was driving back to 杭州 from 德清, I came across a village called 青山村(Green Mountain Village), which really had quite similar scenary. BTW, that narrow country road from 青山村 to 莫干山 is such a perfect biking route, especially in autumn.
好像叫百丈村。
I long for that life too, the rural air, the fresh food, the cute animals. Very soothing.
congrats on moving into such a beautiful village. what i like about this village it has mountains and water ( 有山有水 ). i live in the Canadian Prairie, a lot of places have no hills or water. it makes the place much less attractive. love from canada.
That shirt from Stowe is bringing back memories! I worked in Vermont for a winter season.
That's what I love about rural villages - everyone knows everyone and will share food with one another, it's really sweet ❤
Now i want to live in a rural village as well 😊 youre very inspiring
Congratulations on discovering such an ideal place to live and work! It's like a dream come true for those of us who have always yearned for this kind of lifestyle.
Catherine you are amazing; thank you for giving me some information about rural life in China and I look forward to learning how you have transformed your accommodation.
Keep safe and continue to celebrate the best of what you witness from day to day.
人往高处走,水往低处流。
我为你这样的逆行者点赞。
别人都去大城市施展拳脚,
你却跑到当年知青插队的地方。
You are a few that speak English instead of Chinese in your VLOG. You are in a perfect position as a Chinese ambassador to the Western world. Keep it up, and I love your VLOG because you are so relax, honest, a natural!
Great job with decorating the house! Thanks for making these videos especially for those of us who were born in China and haven’t been back for 65 years or more like me! 👏👍💚
That chicken and dog that just showed up at your yard made it official. We are no longer seeing you visit rural China. You are rural China! Can't wait to see more of your liife around the village, Kat. 🚜 🐖 🐔 🌽
More coming soon😎😎
Congrats on your new home! The bamboo mountains look beautiful, are there hiking trails? Please take us there 😊
Yes there is one right behind my house and the view from the top is fantastic😍some other trails are in other villages too, I’ll share them in a future video 😎😎
You are so independent! Admire you greatly! Keep up the wonderful video. Greetings from Singapore!
You literally blasted a couple of holes in the clouds with those fire works and they leaked, what were you expecting?🤣 Good luck with your rural life! It should be fun and a great experience!
Lmao
I lived in a village of Hubei Province Shiyan City for 3 years. That was great experience in Liu Li Ping Village. People are living commun lifes. Help each other. Even for some needs they just exchange but not use any money. Great life style for living. Not a stressful big city life. People are merry everyday. 😊
You are absolutely awesome taking on this adventure. You will look back years from now and realize your incredible journey. I wish I had that courage when I was younger. Such a beautiful place. Congratulations from LA!
