We went to Jiu Zhai Gou 25 years ago as a newly-wed couple. Time flied, the world changed, but the mothrr nature stayed the same, as beautiful as it always is.
我和姐姐一起在1991年去過，是因為看了電影自古英雄出少年。我今年49歲。它是我人生之中最美的地方。包括黃龍
Wow.It's a long time ago,welcome back to visit
Once you visit China, you will see the whole world like a vintage place ❤️🇨🇳
From India.
China - India friendship forever.
As an Indian. I never believed in Western and Indian media words.
Specially: Wion, BBC, CNN etc.
..
kind Indians are always friends

wise and nice man, welcome China!
you must be Chinese in your last life, lol.
I had no idea China was so beautiful. When I think of it, I just think of massive cities with huge apartment block towers, but wow. That's really scenic. There's a whole other world out there.
There are 56 UNESCO world heritage sites and 17 global GeoPark in China.
Stop learning China from western media's lense and you're good to go. China has a whole lots of varieties of landscapes and culture. It's indeed very very rich in terms of geography
ye china is HUGE, not that i've been there but almost every climate is represented within.
So appreciate that Katherine can use English to introduce a real China to western people. Such meaningful!
With due respect, it should be "appreciative." No need can as it's obvious and also should be "so meaningful." Sorry for the correction as what is worth writing is worth writing well and correct. Bad English irks me being a wordsmith.
:D yea the "real" china lol Lets pan to the labour camps and lets go to the North Korean border
@@Erik3E Please don't politicise this channel as it is about the beautiful landscape and culture and not geopolitics. If you want to politicise it go to lots of those who discussed politics as obviously a vacuous mind like yours do not know the difference. Go to WION or GRAVITAS where the idiocy like yours can be displayed.
@@hangtuah888 aabout a chinese dictatorial goverment using western youtubers to spread missleading propaganda about china
@@Erik3E It is your ignorance and you are entitled to it. I learnt in law school you cannot legislate for stupidity and you are a clear case of cutting and pasting the Pentagon idiot sheets. If you have followed Yang Yang's video you can see the Chinese people from Tibet to Heilongjiang leading a fruitful and happy life unlike you dealing with homelessness, unaffordable health care and education, racism and so much for democracy that you cannot count the votes cast. The Duck still thinks he won. Please don't showcase your ignorance and stupidity on this channel again, okay? You lost the right to free speech as you lack the brain to exercise it.
I like the casual little chats with the strangers on the road the most. People are so nice. It is a brief escape from the daily grinds for everybody. A peek into another world that is unknown, mysterious or even mythical
Ture, that's the significance of traveling, refreshing, every single minute is refreshing, mysterious, healing, lovely, and peaceful!

I happen to see your video recently, Initially was attracted to your beauty and fluent Mandarin. Now, I am fascinated to your journey because your passion for nature, earnest to rural village and impartiality in describe normal Chinese people living. Thank you for introduce China in such a unique perspective. Nowadays, as an american girl living in China alone is not easy, thank you for your perseverance in bridging the two peoples. Your boyfriend is very lucky to have a soulmate like you. I really hope you two all the best with happiness.
One thing I like about your videos is that most of them are off the beaten tracks in china. Keep up your good work and am waiting for more videos.
Nice hat. Good video.
Edit: The way to heavens is through the clouds. That looks close enough to be called a heaven. It looks so beautiful.
Note: Wei is such a gentleman.
Thanks!
Those mountains look like my mountains in Western North Carolina, just without the snow. Thankfully, our snow is mild and later in the Winter season. Thanks for showing us another area of the Sichuan Province.
Do I need to buy tickets to visit your Rocky mountains?
@@eocm3659 those are small hills comparing to the rocky, and nothing even close to Himalayas...
I have been to both and JZG is better. But it is not the best season.
The appearance may be similar but Jiuzhaigou 九寨沟 altitude is anywhere between 7,000 to 15,000 feet.
Trust me, the two places are very different. I love NC mountain area. But Jiuzhaigou’s water is such beauty that we can’t find in NC.
Just saw an old (4 years old) documentary about the place few days ago. I was saying what a beautiful place. I wonder if any of the youtubers in China will ever post about the place. Sure would like to know if it's still as beautiful and unspoiled.
And here you are Katherine the great posting a video of it.
Talk about co insidence?
And I'm glad the waters there are still as clear and amazingly the logs in it are still there.
Thanks for the upload. It brings back memories of our visit there in 2018. It was a week or two after an earthquake, and thus, to allow nature to restore and repair, only 1000 or 2000 daily visitors were allowed in at Jiuzhaigou. Like what you had with rainy events, we bought disposable raincoats that gave us protection also from gusts. Jiuzhaigou, if I understand correctly, means "Nine villages or valleys". Since I don't speak Chinese (my wife does), and the guide couldn't understand English, we ended up doing a lot of hand signing. He checked our passports, found out our ages, and stopped us from climbing to the top of the Nuorilang waterfall. Ironically, a lady in our group, probably in her early 50s, almost fainted climbing some of the stairs. We saw Dujiangyan, Huanglong, several Tibetan temples, and spent a night at the Minjiang Haoting International hotel in Songpan. Sadly, we also saw scars of the 2008 violent earthquake along the way. The images of the pristine lakes would however want us to go back there again.
Yeah we saw some people getting really exhausted on the stairs , some people even had oxygen tanks , the elevation makes it feel like a harder climb than it is 🤣
A steep creek with nine villages.
You never disappoint your audience. Great Job!
What a beautiful city!!! Makes me wanna go there!! The water is so clear! And that colour change!!!
Juizhaigou is definitely on my bucket list for places to visit. Thanks for posting 👍
♥️You are so blessed that you get to see so many wonderful places. My parents were born in China , my father passed away several years ago , I then moved my mon to my house after my dad passed away . However I have not had any opportunities to see China neither get to experience what you get to see until I just recently saw your video . It indeed touched my heart by watching the places and people you introduced in your video . It’s my pleasure to be able to really enjoy watching your video to learn about such a beautiful country China through your video . I forwarded your video to my husband and friends . I wish I could know someone there and hope one day I m able to travel to China like you do . It’s a big dream to me . I hope that day I can go to China to experience what you expected. I’m looking forward to watch your future video . I recently just realize people do not see me as an American after Trump got elected . Your video made me feel better and happier. My whole life lives in US . However I hope one day I can go to China and get to travel to so many amazing places like you showed us in tour video . Thank you so much for sharing ❤️🥰🥰🥰
That is true. Even you live there all you life, someone there still think you just pop out there.
Glad you liked it , hope you can come visit soon🌻

You are amazing for the way how you introduce China & Chinese culture . It lights up my day by watching your video . Even my husband enjoys watching your blog now . Keep the good work . Love & blessings to you and your husband, 💕
如果你们是华人华侨华裔，那么你们也是中华民族的一份子。中华民族的复兴关乎所有华人！同时欢迎回家，回来看看这片土地，这块中华大地是有灵魂的。它赋予了我们中华民族 传承 文化 血脉！
Absolutely gorgeous. Thank You Katherine for sharing your journey with us. It is indeed breathtaking, the emerald green waters, the winding roads (almost got "carsick" just by watching the roads wind like that), and the view from above taken by the drone.
I went there 18 or so years ago. At that time, the road along Min River was so dangerous that I thought I might die there. All the passengers in our bus were quiet and watching how close the bus was to the edge of the river bank. Of course, I made it back to Chengdu. JZG is simply a magical place, no doubt.
same here! when the bus was travelling in the night, the Min river is just like a silver belt, but with ~ 3000 meters down below the road.
I went before tne earthquake. Scenery is just breathtaking.
I went there one month before the earthquake. The hotel I stayed was badly damaged in the earthquake.
Me too, I went there with my mom before earthquake, it was amazing
Thanks for taking us on this delightful journey up the mountains of Sichuan and braving the winding journey for a rare glimpse of those lakes in the forest with their every changing colours. Love the timber architecture and the stone walls lining the intimate alleyways. Your documentary videos r always a joy for me on my weekends. Thanks again.
Lovely couple visiting lovely scenic place on a lovely country.
Is that amazing 🤩 you are like my personal guide . You've been literally every place that I lived. I'm watching your video with tears. Those mountain ,those view are the same back then in 90's except all the unnatural thing after the Earthquake. I used to travel on this road since a was born with my dad's truck . And that's a lot of memories and yes we had a wood house with a basements that we storage our winter supplies lol I hope i could come back to see my hometown after 20 years . I want Thank you verry personally for all the videos and effort .I hope you enjoy the step be careful of wind sometimes they cut face like knife this is why every nativ child has red chicks . If I was there I'll give you the rada . Good work 👍 Zha xi de le
when i think i can't be more excited to see someone upload a video about my hometown, then I saw my uncle walk by in the video
Wow, so beautiful scenes and so kind of those Hui people
A wonderful surreal place, 9 Tibetan village. I was there in 2007 but thanks for refreshing my memories! Keep on exploring guys!🤩🤩
Your videos are truthfully beautiful. I feel I even can feel the snow and smell the fragrance of the mountains.
Wow I just can't get enough. It feels too short for a place. And I like your commentary, maybe make a 2nd part?
Love the birds and other weird, random stuff in your video. Thanks Kat.
HAHAHA, Wei is so funny, almost fooled by his acting.XD
Your video is unique for jiuzaigou in a cloudy and rainy day making it special even to the ones been there before.
I went to Jiu Zhai Gou 18 years ago. I absolutely LOVE this place. I definitely need to visit there again. Thanks for sharing this. Enjoy your trip, LOVE this series
Also, when I went there, the road was terrible. Wow, they put so much effort on infrastructure.
Beautiful scenery and it is interesting to see a Chinese-style Mosque! I hope you were not too soaked and wet... Sometimes I find walking in the rain is actually quite nice, albeit with a raincoat or umbrella! :)
Thank you once again for a wonderful video!
WOW!!! I love the camera angle color change! Love your videos Katherine and the cute and funny commentary lol
Visited JZG in 2015. And I personally Rate it a MUST GO place in China. In Top 10 list of places in China. Bought a 3 day entry permit. When first thing in the Morning at 7am and got out before 6pm? Even after 2 days , I estimate I cover about 60% of the Area. So much to do and see there. And it is a Huge place covering several mountains, lakes and rivers. Unique place in the World. Wne in April , yet it was Freezing up in the mountains at 8am !! Love the Place.
Another informative and cool video. Love the friendly people. Well done and thank you 🙏
It will be more beautiful to visit Jiuzhaigou in autumn as the whole mountain will be in different colours.
Thank you Katherine for the wonderful video. I hope to visit Jiu Zhai Gou one day. I love the villages and side roads that you visited. They are so interesting and amazingly clean.
That's why I want to go back because there's a good balance of old and new. It's just so organic and beautiful.
那里简直是人间仙境，好像在这里拥有一座小屋。
魏很幽默也很风趣！非常好的视频和有趣的介绍分享！
the water crispy uh.. LOL the content taking my mind into this part of the world…. Awesome…
I'm so happy that I found your channel. It reminds me of my solo hitchhiking trip around china when I was 19
was in Chengdu for a month in 92. Almost went to JZG but was told it's rain/flood season so quite inconvenient.
The US consulate there was getting its new building put up. Consul's wife & kid were chilling in the new yard.
Wow, you've been to the most beautiful places in China. I'm Chinese, but I haven't been there yet. I really envy you. Have a good time.
Such a great view, thanks for you video for introducing China
这就是中国文化的包容性。各种宗教在这里都有受众，没有谁打压谁。并且宗教不能影响政治。

@@binshuo 你有什么见解和认知？说来听听，我挺好奇
It must have been awesome to witness the changing water color and as an environmental engineering major, you know exactly why. Thanks for this amazing trip, and Wei already called you, "wife" :D ?
I for one LOVE to read haters/trolls' comments on these types of vlogs just imagining their heads exploding. Keep up the good work Katherine!😄😄😄
This is cool. The place looks to be fully restored. I planned on going there a few years back. After bought all airline tickets, earth quake struck and place was closed. It is still on my to do list. Hope pandemic travel restricts can be eased soon.
I felt extremely regretful that I didn't visit Jiuzhaigou 九寨沟 before the earthquake many years ago. I heard the beauty of Jiuzhaigou had been permently demaged but it seems it is still there. Really happy to see that via your video. Thank you! After the pandemic, I wanna bring my wife there. It is very different from those in Japan.
Not really. Nature has a way of healing itself, unlike urban areas which need to be rebuilt by humans to have "life" again. Nature is life.
..was here in 94 for 3 months..was working on a film that was shot there..there are so many wonderful locations within the park and we were all over..at that time roads in and out were not so hot and were very few tour buses...was like the park was all ours...have fond memories
This is what we came here for travel to place we only saw in documentary video. Now we can see how hard it take to get to the main attraction. Awesome journey you take us.
Nice scenery. Traveled so far just to to see it must be worth it. I would love to travel to all those small villages and see it for myself. Anyway, I am unable to do that. China is too big. First I have to go to fujian where my grand parents came from to Malaysia.
欢迎回家
欢迎回乡看看福建，我是来自福建的华人。在美国生活二十二年，带小孩子回家乡两次，每次呆过2个月。
有空回来看看吧。我们中华民族的复兴你们也是其中的一份子！
There is a hill in Fuzhou that I enjoyed climbing. It maybe about 1500 meter high. The view from that hill was spectacular.
Beautiful scenery!
Wonderful short trips bringing us into seldom seen areas. Thanks as always. Cheers.
四川遍地美景，，九寨沟非常漂亮，不同季节不一样的美景，，，必去景点，，
Such beautiful tranquil 九寨沟👍👍🙏🙏thanks for sharing! Really enjoyed watching!
Really beautiful scenery. You have seen it with your own eyes. A lifetime experience.
I went there in 2005. Remember that windy road! I didn't get carsick, but I did get "drunk" due to the thinning oxygen level. You have to visit Huang Long too! There are a million stairs in HuangLong too lol & must try to yak ham next time you visit. They're delicious, though I felt guilty for eating such a pretty animal. JiuZhaiGou & HuangLong should be in everyone bucket list!
been Jiuzhaigou years ago, want to go back all the time ~
Great video ! I was there in summer of 2008 took 500 photos , can't get a bad shot ! You should have taken the bus to the top and walk down the valleys .
So clean all these places you visit
I see your vlog and after that I love to see them more often.thay are more informative. I am from Pakistan, Faisalabad. There is many things to learn from Chinese and china culture.❤❤❤❤❤
I have been to Huang Long, Aba, Jiu Zhaigou, Dujian Yang in 2014. Words cannot describe the beauty.
Katherine is always the best.🌹🌹
I am surprised at how clean the alleyways are....
It must be, isn’t it🤓
It's one of the most beautiful water sceneries in the world, deserve to have a trip only for it
you expected China to be a dirty shit hole? lol
@@timetraveller2300 some people think rural china is like india
@@j.dalencon yep some people think they are still living in middle age in rural China.
Thank you for showing me around of the beautiful ju zha gou, I just can't wait to go for a visit, we are still in LOCK DOWN at Australia.
it is so much fun to watch your video, I was in Chengdu back to July 2019, but too bad missed out Jiu Zhai Gou when it was under renovation. hope one day I could come back and visit it
Its soo beautiful there. Thanks for sharing. 谢谢
wow, the color change view 😱😱
You are living the life . Envy you !
🥰🥰🥰It’s so beautiful to see the view changed the color from blue to green and back to blue ... it’s so scary to drive in the fog and the rains reminds me while I was traveling to Seattle. I don’t prefer waking so long in the rain but it’s so nice to watch your video introducing this interesting place without getting rains on me 😍 . Thank you so much for sharing
The beautiful lake reminds me of Jenny lake we visited this summer in Grand Teton National Park. Love it, I am a big fan of your channel now. It is a lot of work making these videos, thank you!
I really love your video,you go to places,I have never seen in China.Thank you so much.
Thank you Katherine, loved it
The place is so beautiful..
What a beutiful place😍😍😍
good job wonderful video recording China.Better understanding each other make better world.
It looked even more gorgeous and breathtaking before the earthquake.
she talks chinese is like naturally
I been to JiuZhaiGou three times, all before the big quake. But it's a big place and you can actual get to stay inside if you apply for a permit. If you wander around, the lakes, pools and water features takes on different styles and structure and each one of them is amazing. To really see JZG, you need 3 days or more. The earthquake may change some of the pools and overall it's such a pristine and lovely place. Bonus, Huanglong is nearby (I think 1 or 2 hrs journey) and its full of calcite pools that is also amazing.
Yeah I wish we had had more time , hope to visit again next year 😍
Tibet is gorgeous 😍. Its like the Switzerland of Asia.
👍 thanks for sharing. Great effort. ✅😀
Great video, the scenery is astonishing, looking forward to visit JiuZhaiGao in future.
Being in Jiuzhai for a conference? Kudos to the conference organizer for choosing such an amazing place
Very beautiful😍👍
Good job , it’s very very beautiful scenery
Wow just amazing!
China is one of the best and must visit destinations. I love China.
Kate, there are so many Hui in Nanjing (for a long history). You can go to see that! 七家湾的草桥清真寺 珠江路地铁站旁有个吉兆营清真寺 and so forth
Great place😍
Stunning
Great video! I'd love to visit Sichuan mountains!
Wow nice one, the lake is beautiful also I see another youtuber in this episode. That's cool .
What scenery! Parts of it look like the Pacific NW of the U.S. Thanks for showing. Although I was disappointed that we didn't get to see Wei throwing up! XD
Lmao
This is so beautiful!
I have been to JiuZaiGou in 2000. It was then more scenic and beautiful before the earthquake struck.
what happened after the earthquake?
惊见克里斯，凯和小王总都好可爱！
If the Chinese people stopped believing their media and the American people stopped believing their media, we'd be halfway to world peace by now. It's a pity that the two most beautiful countries on earth are being ruined by their leaders--and for no good reason. Thank you for doing "God's work" in showcasing the beauty of this country, Katherine! It's gorgeous!
👏👏👏👍👍👍 Kathleen is wonderful
