Never expected to see my hometown on UA-cam. It’s a small town with a thousand years of history. It has been prosperous before. Due to three rivers forming a big dock here. The river, wooden bridge and old streets are my childhood memories.
Good for you. Hopefully one day, I will visit this place too.
好羡慕！
That's great. I hope you continue to protect your lovely architecture.
卧槽，崇庆县的人
很漂亮的地方！
Nice video, China is very safe and no drug addicts, no homeless, etc
less not no.
无家可归的一个没有，一个没有，为何这么确定呢，因为我之前做了两年公益扶贫工作，政策再了解不过了。吸毒打再严还是会有没办法…好难治，最近两年又开始出现笑气…今天刚看了新闻，北京两个女孩没多大都嗨上笑气了。
I particularly hate other people lying,,, what are the consequences in Chinese criticism, do you know? This is dictatorship, the government has the right to control everything,,, everything is very beautiful here, but there are concentration camps in Xinjiang, and the people have no freedom of speech. Behind the prosperous people are crimes against humanity. The poor people have no voice in this country. chance,,,
@@user-bt4jk9lu5n you are brainwashed and a liar.
Reminds me the old part of Oxford. You wander through a labyrinth of small alleys just to end up in a pub and have some beer. :)
My kind of town. If only I could retire there.
This step back in time at Yuantong is priceless. I’m glad u document so much of its architecture and streetscapes. Let’s hope the pressures of urbanization does not rob this magnificent heritage that’s so delicately and precariously balanced together by a very fragile economic system.
While watching, it, i got lost, imagining myself, living in one of those old homes, read novels, and do maths. quite and fresh
the problem with old houses are they lack the very basics, electricity, running water and bathroom.
do maths lol
you like math
You're amazing katherine sister God bless you and bless your family amen 😇
You are awesome! Thank you so much for showing the world the real beautiful China. So many people accept the impression the media & politicians tell them, you know the people that has never visited & are most often pessimistic. Your honest, humorist & open minded character is a blessing to everyone who meets you or watches your videos. Please continue to follow your beautiful heart. GODspeed
What a beautiful, interesting place. Thanks for sharing!
Such a amazing historic small town, never heard of it before. Many thanks for showing!
awesome video! I hope China preserves more of these towns.
God bless your heart, sister. China is truly a nation "of the people, for the people."
Also, the relaxing vibe you feel in this old town is actually the uniqueness of 川渝. People in these two provinces are very keen on 麻将 and live a Buddha-Care lifestyle that is so different from the coastal part of China XD. Idk why they are so unique but it seems to be such an exception, so I named it as 川渝-exceptionalism.
Katherine, you are an excellent tourism ambassador for rural China. I will definitely visit those villages you had shown in th West videos once the Covid-19 pandemic is in better control in my country. China's remarkable success in Covid-19 crisis management is admirable. It's the safest country to be during this difficult time.
For reasons why modernisation is not always better...just watch this delightful video.
So nice to see you receive some well-deserved attention/fame as a result of your hard work! :D
Your struggling is your problem. If stop struggle... We may both have a easier life...
China is getting things done faster than even the locals can imagine. An all new low density ancient city being built ("embryo city") ... ua-cam.com/video/ZxM9jXpgBl0/v-deo.html
I've lived in Asia 35 yrs. You're doing an excellent job. Congratulations!
Local institutions did a great job in terms of preserving the local culture
Chengdu is really a paradise for bike riders.
你一定是有什么误解？
It definitely is! Very flat and the ring roads make navigation super easy. Chongqing is another story though.
OMG! It is my hometown! I was born and raised up in this lovely and peaceful place. Actually, there are still several ancient towns very close there, hope u could get a chance to travel and have some fun there! A big fan of all your videos!!
每次都是先赞后看！感谢你带我们去看乡镇的风土民情👍👏👏👏
Thank you for doing this. Maybe your video is enough to avert the next World War. Just emphasizing how important your vblogs are.
Famous historic and cultural town.

Yes, tourism in places like this can really motivate some youth to stay here, sometimes I just love this vibe and fancy about what is it like to stay permanently at small town like this.
Speaking about the conflict of commercialization and the preservation of its own vibe, I think it may not be necessarily so definite. I moved to Munich at the beginning of Sep. and had a visit at its old town. It is definitely overwhelmingly crowded (in terms of Europe) and I even got the feeling of going back to Chinese Metropolis LOL. It is also heavily commercialized, you can see a street full of luxury store(Gucci, Chanel etc.) that exist in any other big cities. But since its well-preserved Architecture of Neo-Gothic style (and other historic styles I cannot name), it still gives me a very great feeling about shuffling through the old Europe, buildings like St Peter's church was built first at 13. century but still well preserved. You don't get the luxury of seeing such an old architectural complex in China since ancient Chinese architectural were wooden and there were so many wars happened.
In conclusion, I think it doesn't bother so long as the tourist attraction can preserve what is unique for it. For me the commercial part looks identical no matter its in China or in Germany, the real difference take place on how much effort the local government speed on preserving its own heritage.
This is the third time I"ve seen in Katherine's videos a 90 year old man functioning, living, even doing craftwork like a 60 year old. Truly amazing!
Well, as a Chinese living in North America, it's super exciting to watch a video that depicts my hometown. I truly hope you are dong well there and enjoying life with your boyfriend. So impressive for your fluent mandarin!
I love the fastly revolving stringy "flyswater"
Gorgeous! This Vlog shall be kept in the city library of 元通. It will serve the purpose of historical study by. young generations who need to know what has happened in China. I am afraid that ancient scenery has been replaced too fast by the cookie-cutting architecture or more truthfully, the “shallow dish” culture. Please do keep your vlogs. You will have an eBook about China, which is more meaningful and valuable than today’s metropolitans - just a collection of geometric objects.
Hidden treasures of Chinese alley ways! Thanks for astute showing Katherine!👍
Seeing these small towns in China is really refreshing. It demonstrates that Chinese people are not always chasing wealth like in the major cities and are down to earth, happy seeking people as well. Great vid!
Thank you for showing us this beautiful small town, Kath! The architecture is appealing and the atmosphere is so laid back! It is truly a good choice for retires! If I ever visit Chengdu, I won't miss out this!
Lovely looking place. Another nice video, keep them coming.
super fun to see these vlogs!
I watch as many Vlogs from Westerners as i can, love them all
The girl said in Sichuan dialect,"come down, come down, let's follow sister on tiktok. She has 300k followers". That was really cute.
Thank you for sharing. I love the authenticity! Have fun guys! :D
Love your videos, and love your passion for exploring China.
The vlog get better and better. So amazing!
Wow, amazing place. It looks so ancient.
Beautiful place, beautiful people....
Wow, love the hotel view of the river! Beautiful town!
delightful, charming, relaxing, and yet full of life! your video is very entertaining, and easy to watch, like water flow. Like your style!
Love it! I'm imaging how lucky those people who grown up in this beautiful town.
Great small town. I like it sooo much!
太喜欢阳离子了了了了了了了~总是充满正能量和好奇心。真想找个一模一样的做老婆
谢谢你的支持🌻🌻
第一步，先剃个光头。
I love watching your videos on these gorgeous, off the beaten track, less tourist-y towns & villages. Especially the ones that are not widely covered here on UA-cam. 👍🏼
Dear Katherine, could you remember this video at *5:07 that bldg was a Catholic Church in a Chinese Traditional bldg. I thought l saw a Crucifix in the Center at the Altar. If so, that was amazing to find, a Traditional Catholic Church that was like centuries back. Must be very interesting to discover the history of that Church. Would love to make a pilgrimage there.
Love the grey tiled roofs. Truly an ancient town, 200 yrs ago, that house was built n still live in by that 90 yr old man. China is truly fascinating, so rich in history n just amazing what we can find in the 21st Century!
Another sterling job. So envious of your adventures. Wei doesn't have to say much he is just naturally funny. Thanks for sharing.
Your channel is growing!
Beautiful vlog ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice to see well preserved old towns.
Wow that area looks cool and fun. And the food doesn't look that spicey. Enjoy.
Great stuff Katherine 👍
每集一定要先給她个～讚！
China is just fabulous, was there 2012/2013 wish I stayed there
Damn, I wish I could come back to China!
But for real, you should partner up with some of those places' tourism administration to do some sponsored content: the way you present these places just makes me want to travel there.
Dude this is IT. 😂
Beautiful!
ancient town looks beautiful and peaceful
What a quiet, except the sound of mah jonk, old town with scenic beauty and historical architecture!
這裏好古老,真有特色,充滿生活氣息,很喜歡~
One word, beautiful.
Thank you for your sharing. An interesting place!
Must tag for future references, very pleasant and peaceful site
I hope one day you can make it to 乐山 to see the big Buddha statue. Thank you for sharing your experience. Now 崇州 is on my bucket list.
Huan Yuan Zhen is now on my list of places to go. Thanks!
Fun little town
Mei Nu Mei Nu Wo Yao Jia WeiXin!😁 And the little kitty so cute..😸
UA-cam suggested your video and I am soo glad I ran into this channel! Saw your intro video and I love your insights! I also hope to do what you did which is move to China which is weird because I'm Chinese but don't speak Mandarin lol
Mahjong parlours! Just my kind of place : )
Thanks for visiting the places for me.

Hey,where are you from?
same province, sichuan
They speak Sichuan dialect
We call that specific opera of changing masks a Mitt Romney.
Awesome charming!
There do have doors, because it is a different structure that the individual could separate the door to pieces and move them to another side when the store is opening.
真的是不错的地方！
Thanks guys that's really a nice video here in America those alleyways are that place will be very scary that little kitty sound like it was speaking Chinese just kidding thanks guys love your video see you later
Katherine, have you considered getting someone to teach you the common Sichuan expressions (and pronunciation)? Something tells me you'll be translating for Wei soon! :^>!
I made a friend in Chengdu who offered to teach me some sichuan hua😛😛
@@kats_journey_east 安逸的很是很舒服的意思。还有“八四”
The stores do have doors but they are like long vertical tiles and are put away during the day when the store opens.
So cute thanks
Thanks
