- Exploring coastal Fujian with my friends from Kashgar, Xinjiang - on the first day of the year of the dragon! Unique local lion dance, funny encounters with strangers, and of course lots of beach footage coming up, don't miss out 🐲
Aysajan was a great tour guide during my visit to Xinjiang and I am doing my best to return the favor, even though I'm not from Fujian LOL, hope you guys enjoy this series! In the upcoming videos Aysajan, Mehmeti, and I will be exploring more beaches in Xiamen, experiencing fascinating local CNY traditions in Zhangzhou, and touring tulou "dirt fortress homes" in Longyan, stay tuned!

China is so big and so diverse. Not only in terms of landscape and culture, but most importantly, also people.
Go to Altay in northern Xinjiang: you may as well as be somewhere in Scandinavia.
Go to northern Heilongjiang: you ARE in the EQUIVALENT of Siberia and Canada.
Go to southern Yunnan: you may as well as be in Columbia or Venezuela.
Go to Hainan" you may as well as be in any island in the Caribbean.
China is a world within a WORLD.!!!!!
@@archstanton5973😂😂😂笑死了！你是叫洋离子去中国不如回美国！每个有每个人的喜欢！
In fact, Urumqi is the farthest city from the sea in the world. Urumqi is the geographical center of the Eurasian continent.
But aren't they from Kashgar?
urumqi is not native to uighurs it's native to the Dzungarian people, I think you mean Kashgar.

Katherine's journey and adventures in China should be watched by all Americans and Europeans to better understand China.
It doesn't work that way. If they see something that's normal, they'll say it's Chinese Govt propaganda, and that Katherine is paid by the CCP. Lol....
It's very nice but extremely superficial due to her not really being allowed to say the whole truth. Likely a self censorship but still. Big chunks are missing.
Those of us who lived under totalitarian regimes know how to fill the blanks
Then the MSM will tell them Katherine is paid by CCP lol. I hope she can keep low and live a happy life in China.
傻逼
Haha 🎉A countless Chinese people running out of China @You do not know…. 😢😢😢
维吾尔人在中国拜访了基督教的教堂, 参观了佛教的寺庙, 宗教冲突在中国被化解
维吾尔同胞，在内地其他省份，中国没有啥宗教冲突吧，没听说过。只有少数几个喜欢捣蛋的宗教极端分子做些极端恐怖主义行为或极端行为，整体上没听过任何宗教冲突，都是自己的同胞，不分民族，不分地域。
Katherine, you are an ambassador to the world for sure👍Best wishes for more happy adventures!
Katherine aspires to be the UNESCO Tangible Cultural Heritage of the World. There is a certain madness to her peddling around the countryside of the People's Republic of China. It is definitely not the Tour de Chine, okay?
It looks like they are thrilled to see the ocean for the first time, while walking at the beach.
Am sure quite a portion of viewers from the west have changed their perception on Uyghurs in China after watching your recent videos.
Thanks Katherine for showing the real China from a different angle.
Has never been about perception nor even knowing for them. They have agenda.
No need to change their racist perception. China is comfortable in her skin as a diverse, freedom loving as well as innovative civilisational state. The PRC does not need outside approval for its very advance civilisation.
😂😂在中国！少数民族享受着更高的待遇！抹黑新疆是为了打击中国而巳！新疆一直都挺好的！
Lol Mehmeti:’…是外国人像我们’ 。赞👍
18:16 Aysajan asked the quintessential Chinese question - is this edible. Whenever Chinese people see something they are not familiar with, they would ask if it’s edible. Not what it’s used for but if for eating. Always relating to food in the Chinese psyche.
When you hear harrowing tales told by my parents about the hard times during the civilisational state existence, including the hardship suffered and endured during the times of the Japanese invasion, you will not ask any other impertinent question but about edibility.
You know us too well, mate I was laughing my head off when I saw your comments.
wow, that young lad from xinjiang is so cute and lively. I can see happiness from his face
Hi Ktherine, have a womderful journey with Aysajan and Mehmeti
Aysajan is a vibe 😄
if "be yourself" was a person. i gotta admire his attitude.
China actually have a lot of religion freedom, the problem comes when religion tries to get into politics, it's the same with most western countries. I'm glad Katherines shows how diverse China is, thank you so much for another relaxing happy video!
Amazing for them to see the sea for the first time! I can't imagine it cos little 'ol NZ has beaches in every direction, we grow up with ocean never far away... maybe it's like the first time I saw the Yangtze River and just had to "wow" 😅... but for the locals it's normal!
Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, is the farthest city from the sea in the world.
You should go to Xinjiang to see the sea of sand as far as your eyes can see 360 degrees.
@@dxJ-qt2th that's a great fact 😊
@@jupplut6159 one day mate, I would love to 😁
damn, those riddles are hard......and outrageously, there was math involved... devil!! those two happy big boys, made my day! and Aysajan's jersey has Uigur printed in it? how cool is that!
this video is outstanding, so much information, so funny and adorable! can't wait for the next episode miehahahahaha!
glad you liked it, next part of our bike tour coming soon ! the words on his sweater mean "I love to exercise" 😂 very fitting for this trip, LOL
and fitting for a PE teacher right?hahaha@@kats_journey_east
The really out there part of the riddle is that they mix in mathematical symbols rooted in Latin with Chinese characters while still sticking with the theme of the taking out (minus, first word bu) and keeping (plus, second word yao) concept the whole way. Who makes this? And that was meant for kids? Seeing "Asian Difficulty" on Steven He's skits is funny, seeing this for real is kind of intimidating 🤣😅
@@marcc1830they're reinforcing stereotypes 😂
@@marcc1830 This is just for fun. This was used to impress girls and win prizes on Lantern riddle festival.
Thanks for bringing the world into our living rooms. We need more of these wholesome videos to bridge the misunderstanding between different cultures.
I like those two guys. I like it that they sing all the time. Maybe it is because I have always liked these kind of songs. I don't know, but I just like it. Can't explain.
Yet another great co op with these 2. Do more. So lively.
5 more fujian vlogs coming !
這位新疆朋友掌鏡好穩！ 可以考慮當CZcamsr! 😃
Yay can't wait! I am from Fujian ❤ @@kats_journey_east
The answer to that puzzle is "坏," which is exactly seven strokes. The man should have told you the right answer which he didn't. The left side of "坏" is "土"， a combination of"+" and "-". The right side is "不". Together they are “坏”.
这要是繁体字估计是到死也猜不出来
i can understand their reaction as they have never seen an ocean. it's like aurora. i have seen it many times and am not excited. but for those who have never seen aurora, it is a life time experience. some chinese tourists have even gone up to yellowknife to see if they could see it. love from canada.
Katherine is a very gifted and talented filmmaker. Love your style.
What a fun video and thank you for sharing! I am not surprised that the locals thought your friends came from another country. They look middle-eastern to me. I couldn't help to laugh when I heard, "你们两个是什么关系？“😊
I commend Katherine for her quick reaction: These people are so gossipy :) That said i think they are just wondering whether your friends are brothers or friends
A really strange combination! Americans said that the Uighurs were genocided, and the Uighurs didn't know that they had been genocided, and then the Americans and the Uighurs teamed up to wander in China, which was so picturesque!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂美国政府说我们文化灭绝，但是这个新疆人的英语比普通话更好，我要抗议美国强迫新疆人学英语。
Everyone graduated from the reeducation camps and everything is hunky dory now. There are no forced labor for cotton or tomatoes or other manufacturing work. China is great and wholesome.
czcams.com/video/1jqvy0KOSZ4/video.html
我自己作为一个汉族人天天说英语活着，我已经对中国进行了文化灭绝。
Uighur Chinese show a lot of self confidence and pride compared to American Native Indians especially those living in reservations. The two boys kept a dance culture that’s 600 year old, much of the Amerindian culture had been erased, and despite natives have been in North America for over 10,000 years, it’s hard to find artifacts over a few hundred years old. In the reservations, some still live with open sewers and endemic drug problems. These two boys are healthy upstanding strapping young men, they don’t show shame or fear of expressing their ethnicity, unlike America natives who often try to hide their aboriginal roots and simply rather coy in showing their background.
If you are not a rich oil prince, I can't think of a happier place to live for Muslims
What a trip to the sea! You and your friends navigate narrow alleyways of a village, bump into kids who ask what countries you're from, come across local Catholics who want to invite you in for a talk, and finally, the sea! And oh, your friend ran into a familiar face in the Xinjiang yangrouchuan vendor. What a nice surprise for him!
Very nice video! I enjoyed it very much, especially when the two boys saw the ocean for the first time. Their reaction was just something special! These guys are so joyful and I think that the most important thing is to be surrounded by positive and cheerful peopke! Great video, as usual and thank you for sharing ❤
Every time I see a new video from you I fall in love with China all over again. Hope to see more of your travels with Aysajan and Mehmeti!
Another awesome video. Im officially a big fan now. Keep the video coming pretty!
These two Uyghur brother are so funny, Love them.
Katherine, how nice of you taking these two guys to see the beach for the first time. I'm Brazilian, I've been to so many amazing beaches since young age here..
I've never thought about what it could mean to see the ocean for the 1st time as an adult.
Kinda touching to watch them like two kids enjoying it.
I can understand their first-time-seeing-ocean excitement. I had a similar experience when I saw an emerald colour glacial lake. Thanks for showing grassroot Chinese lives on this western platform.
Your friends’ artless delight when enjoying themselves on the beach and seeing the ocean is so so endearing!! Great video!
Katharine you've been killing it with your recent videos! Every episode makes me wish more and more that I could travel around the world and immerse myself in different cultures the way that you do. Keep it up!
The more people travel and the further they travel, the better the understanding we can get from each other! Kudo for the traveling group!
We saw Chinese Christians and Chinese Muslims happily talking with each other. The Western media should stop being a ‘beach’ when reporting about China! :D
We lie,
We steal,
We cheat.
And this is not the PRC.
"A long-awaited report by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) into what China refers to as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) has concluded that “serious human rights violations” against the Uyghur and “other predominantly Muslim communities” have been committed.
The report published on Wednesday in the wake of the visit by UN High Commissioner of Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet in May, said that “allegations of patterns of torture, or ill-treatment, including forced medical treatment and adverse conditions of detention, are credible, as are allegations of individual incidents of sexual and gender-based violence.”
In a strongly-worded assessment at the end of the report, OHCHR said that the extent of arbitrary detentions against Uyghur and others, in context of “restrictions and deprivation more generally of fundamental rights, enjoyed individually and collectively, may constitute international crimes, in particular crimes against humanity.”
Katherine continues to show parts of China rarely seen before and their traditions. (14:36) These two lovely young men from Xinjiang might have made history at this beach: the first time ever that the Uyghurs Sama Dance was performed by the ocean. Hope they have a chance to see more of Southern China.
I am absolutely loving your new series exploring more of rural China with your friends from Xinjiang. I loved seeing the two dancing: it reminded me of a movie I saw not long ago: And then you can dance. Your friends' dancing style was similar to that of Georgia's. I can't wait to watch your next adventure :) Kat's journey to the east continues :)
有朋友一起玩是挺好的。
有朋自远方来，不亦说乎~

维族小哥好社牛，太可爱了哈哈
Just watching the first few seconds of the video I knew it was my hometown (from the architectures, the folk traditions, and of course the sea of my heart), it's an uncanny feeling to see our little corner got discovered by the world, it's funny and touching at the same time. Was just there for the festival but i am away from it again. Thank you for your visit, and hope you had fun 😁
Feliz Ano do Dragão para você e para todos a quem você ama!

Kathy, your curiosity, help us to know so many places in China, I do enjoy your presentation. I’m sure other viewers to.
切糕那段太好笑了 童言無忌 新疆小哥別放心上
Love how your friend bursts out in song ever 5 minutes. Good people.
Thanks for sharing such a lovely video clip. Am sure you have had enjoyed the trip. Take care, Katherine. Looking forward to your next clip. Cheers!🍻
This custom dance lion is first time I have seen in my lifetime. Thanks for sharing.
阿达西，Welcome to Fujian province ,my brother🇨🇳
萨玛舞非常美！男女老少都可以跳
Grew up on Hong Kong island and kind of take the sea for granted, now to see two young men from Xinjiang admire it with childlike wonder makes me miss it, having lived in inland North America where there is only lake and river.
On a separate note, other than his Uyghur features, Aysajan was literally wearing an Italy flag on his sweater, I guess it's natural for people to assume he is foreign.
people asked constantly even when he wasn't wearing that sweater 😂
Wow.. just wow! I enjoy watching this video and the two male companions of yours from Xinjiang, are very nice & sweet, they are just like a kids running around on the beach and they are look so happy & excited much! Thank you for sharing.. ❤
Hi Katherine, you and Aysajan look good together.
I thought this was one of her best videos yet, but then I watched the Wenzhou Dragon Festival one, and that one is just as good if not better. Looks like I need to catch up on the channel
在闽的维族同胞蛮多的，读书的，卖货的、开店的。现在外卖平台打开，新疆菜也很多。今后也是趋势，东北的、西北的、新疆的、内蒙的、西藏的都有一部分人定居在南方。最喜欢的就是南方的冬天、一年四季的绿、还有那无垠的大海。’
切糕还有人买吗😂
@@enchongliu4339 连国内抖音都没混过吧，切糕买的人多了，抖音上单个频道都卖几十万件了。

Aysajan and Mehmeti were like small kids when they first saw the sea. So cute. Many thanks to Katherine for showing them around. Hahaha... Fujian is a really cool place. Fujian welcomes you... and the world... 😄😃😀
imagine the millions of people who haven't seen the sea their whole life. get them to see the beach the first time in their life and it must have been like visiting another planet for them.
I know what you mean but with seeing videos it's not really like that. I never been to China but sometimes it feels I am there with Katherine or other great video makers.
THAT WAS A GREAT ONE. GOD BLESS THE 3 MUSKETEERS. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK BRINGING US SUCH GREAT VIDEOS
切糕片段太好笑了，小朋友问得狡钻
Yay! That was fun! One of your best!
Great episode.
Thank you.
👍👍👍 wonderful vlog, as usual.
"How old are you?" "I'm fine thank you"
Hahahahhaha the textbook Chinese is truly ingrained in that kid's head
Yes!, I enjoyed this video. You did it again Katherine!
Nice vid! I can feel their excitement!
When I entered the university in 2008 in Hunan, the first thing our instructor told us was “Don’t buy nut cake on the street.” I still remembered that😂
Good advice. Eating too much nut cake will make you a fruit cake, okay?
@@hangtuah888 No the reason is it’s kind of a scam. It’s way much heavier even they cut it very thin. And it’s 100 times expensive as you expect. And when you find you can’t afford it after they cut it, they force you to buy it. They don’t have a good reputation at that time.
@@Tsyjzyt.
Is the scam still rampant today ?
Are the scammers Uyghur ?
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 I think people just realize that the cut cake is really expensive. I don’t know the exact price but I know it calculates by grams. Even it’s only ¥2/g, then it’ll be ¥1000 for just 0.5kg. It’s too expensive for most people. And it’s weird that less and less Uygurs on the streets since then. (Don’t know why. Maybe it’s harder for them to travel to other provinces) I know little about Xinjiang. It’s more like another country than a province for me lol
@@Tsyjzyt
Gov probably cracking down on their scam .
If Xinjiang is liken to "another country" ... then certain states in India are like that too ?
Excellent clip, thanks
Another fun video, thanks you all.

Thanks for sharing and surfacing the truth. 👏👍
Very enjoyable video. It is a shame that the season is not ideal for visiting the beach otherwise your two Ughur friends may swim in the sea to experience the salty water and the wave ！😍
they can't swim so even if it's summer there isn't much we can do in the water anyway LOL

Thx for sharing
8g, It is very funny. I love it.
Your friends' joy is soooo infectious, and their dance is super awesome! For now, I'd rather go to Kashgar if I'm on vacation though. I have a feeling by the time I do get there, Kashgar would have transformed into a major metropolitan city, and some of the ancient charm Aysajan talked about when he was a kid may be gone. In either case, Xinjiang jia you, China jia you, and Xin Nian Huai Le.
I love their excitement in seeing the sea. Did they get a chance to taste the salty and bitter seawater? That's got to be an experience in itself for first timers. Kinda disgusting but also a unique experience at the same time.
No hahahahaha I'll put it on the itinerary next time 😂😂
Another excellent video of China, looks like you are spending lots of time and work on the captions as always ! 🙂
