I love how the Shaoxing grandpa said to Asajan don't listen to random people on the Internet telling you a man shouldn't cook. Loving your wife and cooking is good! 😍 Shaoxing is so beautiful - and I feel the same way - I wish modern architecture (aka huge apartment complexes) doesn't look so uninspiring.
@@xiaoshan-mj9xb You're funny. So she's a USA spy who went to China to save an Uyghur man from the evil CCP and fell in love with him? They should make this into a movie.
I love that these water towns are not as commercialized and have kept its original charm. Of so many videos about China, yours are the most unique! You are a great photographer as well!!
I've been to Shaoxing and experienced first hand. I absolutely loved the experience and, as a white Aussie bloke, I was really looked after by the people of Shaoxing.
I'm a Singaporean tourist who visited Shaoxing six months ago. It's truly an underrated gem that's just a short train ride from Hangzhou. Awesome experience! Great to see you enjoying yourself there too. The locals are very friendly.
I love watching this video, so spontaneous, so random, the beautiful canal, the quaint houses, the cute bridges, the grandmas and grandpas, their backyards....love it! 😍😍😍
@@ChrisHereToday This time of year, half of China is hotter than Africa .China is vast,in south-west of China,like Tibet there is snowing,and Guizhou the temperature is 20 degree.In north-east of China,like Mohe in Heilongjiang,face to Russian,you should wear swearter in there.Because in summer,Mohe's tempertatuer is 9-18 degree.
In my hometown,the temperature is 41 degree,it's really hotter than Africa.But China is big and vast,the northernmost of China called Mohe in Heilongjiang and the highest of China Tibet,in there you should wear swearter.Tibet is snowing in summer.Even in Yunan or Guizhou,the south-east of China,you will fell coll in there.
Katherine that was very generous of you to let Aysajan eat the butt (of the popsicle) 😁 Another inspiring look into the culture of China. You are an amazing ambassador!
Thank you for your uploading. As a Chinese, your video is very touching, very oriantal, remind me of my hometown. How beautiful and peaceful it is! Hope you enjoy your life in China and have fun!
That self-erasing calligraphy paper is so cool, looks like something out of Diagon Alley! And of course you keep finding these hidden gem temples everywhere!
FYI Shaoxing has 2700 years of history. From Britannica: Shaoxing is an ancient city; in the 7th century bce it was the capital of the state of Yue, which was later annexed by the state of Chu. In 221 bce it became a part of the Qin empire and was under the commandery of Kuaiji. The seat of this commandery was transferred to Shaoxing in 129 ce.

天啊！太有感觉了！阳离子(Katherine)你是我见过的在中国居住的最棒的美国UA-camR！你不仅参与并见证了我们国家的环保事业的发展，还对中国传统文化有相当深刻的理解，甚至还知道鲁迅两棵树的梗！Love U so much！这次你带我游览了如此美丽的绍兴！说实在的，作为一个深爱中国及其历史并走遍祖国大江南北的旅行者，从小就知道绍兴，但是因为了解不多，却没有去看看的欲望。在看腻了那些商业味道过于浓重的充满新建筑的各省所谓古镇后，再看到绍兴这种真正充满记忆的古老街区（游客稀少甚至还保存着南宋的古桥），我马上产生了去这个街区漫步并留下影像记忆的强烈欲望！THX! Katherine
Thank you for the in-depth tour. Well structured well designed well edited. Insightful and far-reaching representation of Life there. I really felt I were with you guys. By the way, he’s kind and gentle, and totally happy to play his role, a comedian and bodyguard.
Thanks for traveling to all these unique places so the rest of us can live vicariously through you and the people you interview in passing. Can't get enough of these videos.
This is life thank you to present such beautiful scenery and the people to your viewers. Young generation most go to the city this is live make your feel so relaxing.
Absolutely one of the best videos I've ever watched on UA-cam. I was just so happy and smiling throughout the video. You're are doing a splendid Job Katherine, keep it up! Xixi😅
This is indeed an interesting part of China, like going back in time. Quite a unique experience!. Thank you for this rarely seen views of a peaceful community untouched bt rourism.
Traditional houses can only be preserved by commercialization.Even though people are saying that they don't like commercialization, the fact is no young people want to live in old houses and those house will be abondoned finally.
You're right! Commercializing traditional houses helps preserve them, as younger generations are less likely to live in old structures. Without such efforts, these houses may be abandoned over time.
Brit here, I can you tell you exactly what that accent was... hilariously cute! 😂❤ Does Aysajan have his own channel? I want to see that cooking vid, the food looks delicious!
What you said in minute 14:55, I totally agree with you: new modern houses and neighborhoods should keep the design and aesthetic of these old wooden houses, some even dating back to the Song Dinasty.
That long aisle place is a community center. Probably it is renovated from an discarded anti-air raid bunker under a hill. Thanks for your video. China has a lot ancient towns. Glad this one is not too commercialized and collect entry fees.
This is an amazing interesting episode Katherine ! So full of of history. Near Santa Monica in LA is a sweet neighborhood called Venice existing as narrow canals with cute homes lining the waterways. They nicknamed it ‘the Venice of the north’, drawing a lot of artists. Not half as interesting as this historic village in China. What a fascinating vast country China is and such beautiful areas like the mountains. I love how friendly the people are. The media don’t show this side of China. BTW, boyfriend ? Love you , thanks for posting ❤❤❤
Katherine's travelogue in China captures the "real" flavour of the towns where locals carry on with their daily routines. It is a time capsule of the old dwellings in alleyways which might disappear or be re-purposed in no time.
oh, you just visited my grand parent's neighbourhood 😊 And you are right younger generations don't like living in old houses. Even my Grands moved out 5 year's ago to live an apartment and rent out the house to some taxi drivers from rural area😂
always wanna visit the place, so tranquil and beautiful, grandmas and grandpas are adorable, but the fennel bean popsicle.....no thank you! the man just drove through those energizing aunties, hilarious! ok, was Aysajan wearing your "deposit over 100 millions" Tshirt? that cooling place might be a bomb shelter built decades ago during the cold war. no the "threat" was no longer a thing, so it was reutilized as a public service place. the sushi eating guy was so confused and innocent, lol.
You should really explore the paper-model offerings that the Chinese burn for the deceased - you'd be amazed how ingenious & modern some of those miniatures are! Thing like iPhones & iPads are so old, I saw an EV complete with some charging station only a few weeks ago! I have not seen any solar panels yet - guess they aren't useable in the underworld. If you should come across one, perhaps you can show us in one of your videos 😅
雖然我住台灣，但我很喜歡這種江南水上人家的風情，一種安逸舒適的感覺。十幾年前去過周庄，到現在還是念念不忘。影片拍得很好，取鏡、配樂、整體節奏，把這種氛圍表現得恰到好處。切入的角度也與一般外國博主介紹中國不同，讓外國人更了解中國的另一面，很值得一看。
最爱中国的人间烟火、市井和浓厚的人情。❤
感觉这是中国的独一份，同样的儒家文化圈，岛国和泡菜国这种完全西化的国家完全没有了，倒是越南还有点像
@@jchen4365 台灣這還是有，不過要在跟影片一樣的老屋區比較看得到，像比較鄉下的農村或是以前軍眷住的眷村。現在也是因為人們都住高樓大廈而比較看不到了。但如果走到比較舊式的街區還是可以感受人們的熱情與安逸的氛圍。
@@andyho9670 Taiwan doesn't even make ancient period shows. China makes dozens of those a year.

感谢up主，作为一个没怎么去过南方的北方人，每次看你的视频都有新奇的感受，谢谢你让我了解了我所不了解的中国
China looks and feels safe and lovely in your videos. I like the “safe” feeling most of all.
“The opinion of random people on the internet isn’t important.” - modern wisdom for a modern age.
I love that these water towns are not as commercialized and have kept its original charm. Of so many videos about China, yours are the most unique! You are a great photographer as well!!
Yes, you are right - nice video
I've been to Shaoxing and experienced first hand. I absolutely loved the experience and, as a white Aussie bloke, I was really looked after by the people of Shaoxing.
Shaoxing is nice but is not among the more beautiful water towns of China. There are more beautiful ones the Suzhou area
生活氣息濃厚😊
I'm a Singaporean tourist who visited Shaoxing six months ago. It's truly an underrated gem that's just a short train ride from Hangzhou. Awesome experience! Great to see you enjoying yourself there too. The locals are very friendly.
I love your videos - spontaneous and laid-back. It’s great to see quaint tranquil places where real people live!
china is amazing, the friendliness of Chinese literally watering my eyes❤
非常喜欢阳离子的绍兴之旅！跟着阳离子的镜头，走街串巷，看普通的人和他们的家园。
I admire your dedication to learn Chinese, I want to learn too so I can watch Chinese drama at ease without the fast subtitle lol

You guys look great! What a nice place! Thank you :)

20:47 Aysajan, take a hint please 😜
You visited my grandpa’s hometown 😊
What a charming village presented by a lovely lady & friend
Wonderful. Always happy when I see a new video . Stay cool. God Bless you both.
So nice to see both of you having such a relaxing and wonderful time. Gob bless both of you 😊

Such a nostalgic street, lovely and TQ for sharing🙏🏿
What a gorgeous visit of Shaoxing! This made me really nostalgic for China. Thank you for sharing Katherine!
Lovely! Your videos are always a treat!
Did you try the iconic Shaoxing wine? Delicious! I always love the water towns of China, very special. Thanks for sharing.
I don't drink, the dragon container it comes in was super cute though 😂
That's for cooking though

of a peaceful community untouched bt rourism.
Traditional houses can only be preserved by commercialization.Even though people are saying that they don't like commercialization, the fact is no young people want to live in old houses and those house will be abondoned finally.
这些几百年的老村子政府不允许商业化，纳入古村落保护单位，私人重建的话不允许现代化的外观，只能按原样修建，同时地方狭窄成本很高，所以年轻人都搬出去住了！但是地皮很值钱，没有个五十万美金根本买不下来，而且你必须把户籍迁到这个村落！
@@Mrgs168 保護古文物 ， 給政府當局點贊 ！
@@Mrgs168全商业化了，还说我们政府不容许商业化，你去农村看看都把当旅游景点了，甚至新建“旧房”充数
@@alessiii58 你不要打着简体字在这里充数好吗？
You're right! Commercializing traditional houses helps preserve them, as younger generations are less likely to live in old structures. Without such efforts, these houses may be abandoned over time.
好熟悉的一切，白墙，石板路，雕刻的瓦片，悠悠的小木船，还有那个半高的木门。你可以感受到江南人和其他地方的中国人显著的不同，就好像江南的雨水。谢谢阳离子，你旁边的阴离子很可爱😀
What a charming town. Love the vibes.
Brit here, I can you tell you exactly what that accent was... hilariously cute! 😂❤
Does Aysajan have his own channel? I want to see that cooking vid, the food looks delicious!
Obviously XinJiang accent!

这种拍摄style 非常棒。 加油⛽！！
Very entertaining
Super interesting video Katherine , the city is enchanting and fascinating and the locals so friendly. Aysayan sounds a bit English to me!
Love is in the air...😊
thank you very much for sharing this video clip.💯
Such a beautiful little town!
Thanks!
Thanks for supporting the channel ❤️
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been to Suzhou but not Shaoxing. Might make a point of going since I’ll be visiting Shanghai/Wenzhou next year
Nice content katherine..i just remind you all that end of time is near prepared with do charity to your goodness in eternal life..
I was in Shaoxing two weeks ago. Visited the same water alley streets. Loved the neighborhood and friendly locals! Thank you Katherine!!
Thank you ! Nice old homes🎉

Beautiful place to stay!

Xoxo China is gorgeous and Kate is more beautiful than ever. Stay happy with your lovely buddy
Beautiful video, how lovely scene
阳离子的视频很接地气，赞
从阳离子的视角再次看中国，有趣的视角。
Hi Katherine, You always found some very interesting and extraordinary places to visit. I love watching you and I definitely love you😂
谢谢阳离子带我们逛绍兴老城。
14:58 深有同感，这些老房子确实是很老旧了，但有很多融合了传统文化颇具审美性的细节元素在里面，我老家的那些还存留的祠堂也是这样。中国在建设新房子的时候，CBD那种现代化的办公楼群不算，住房类的，不论是新式的高层住宅（大部分是土黄色，包括杭州的），或者农村新建的自建房（90年代00年代建的大部分是难看的方块瓷砖房，现在建的大部分是难看的乡村欧），能将这些老房子中具有审美性的细节元素融合进来的并不多见。中国新一代的建筑设计师们要加把劲了。
Your mandarin is so good. Very impressived.
That long aisle place is a community center. Probably it is renovated from an discarded anti-air raid bunker under a hill.

13:14 他说那是以前做老式灯非常有名的，那个房子是国家造的。他用一种非常本地的表达方式说的。
大爷的绍兴话一句也没听懂😂感谢“”翻译“”😄
thank you for another nice video!
我前几个月去了绍兴，也去了八字桥，不过是21点左右去的，那里非常安静，与白天截然不同。黄酒冰棒很好吃。
