    Katherine, kudos to you on finishing your 2000+ km bike ride. Your video footage gets better and better! Your editing footage shows glimpses of the rural beauty of Zhejiang Provence. You make such cute and positive comments on all kinds of situations you encounter. What a trouper! Looking forward to more of your adventures in China.👍👍

      Since you have been to China and biking in Guangxi. Tell me it is true of what the western MSM reported that China is dangerous for foreigner travelers, you will be followed by police everywhere you go, no freedom, dirty, not safe, people are not friendly and racist. Like to hear from you as I am planning to do a trip to China soon.

    Katherine,
    I am looking forward to more of your new videos.
    Hope you had a great trip back to the States and will be nice for the Chinese audience if you are able to some videos of your visit to the States.
    I am pretty sure it will be entertaining for a lot of people.
    I myself live in both Malaysia and Australia and had done a bit of travelling including into China starting from 1997 and also to Europe.
    Of course some part of Asia too including Japan, Korea, Vietnam an Thailand.
    You take care while on the road.
    Cheers.

    Thanks so much for sharing this adventure with us; I enjoyed every minute. Looking forward to the "rural life" series, and selfishly hoping that you will devote a little time to seasonal and local gardening. BTW, as a fan of Chinese drama I enjoyed the bike vlog from the actor (吴磊) "Wu Lei Galaxy" in Northern Xinjiang on CZcams. Have fun in the States...

    Katherine so sad that your adventure is ending. Thank you for showing us the part off China that may disappear one day. Your video recording is invaluable not only for showing the parts of China that is old but unique and so lovely but for showing the change from China of old, polluted, dirty etc to one that is incomparable anywhere in the world. You mentioned that river banks in the west is now a place where garbage is dumped so very true and so very sad. I remember the west taught Chinese how to keep the environment. So what happened. I hope you have the resources and the sponsorship to make it into a full length documentary for future generations😊😊😊. Great job👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️can't say enough and thank you enough for your efforts and as that old woman said so very Brave of you❤❤❤

    Impressive and congratulations! I don't know how you did it, as I would have probably been lost long before I reached a fraction of this distance.😂I always enjoy the sensitivity of your videos-the little bugs, people stare or ask random questions, or a little dog escorting you (from last video), and having noodles with local children-I don't know how you made that happen. I wouldn't appreciate someone blasting his loud speaker from his car trying to sell dumplings; it ruins the tranquility of the town. I remember seeing something similar in downtown Tokyo, where the sound of all the little loud speakers blend together and it was impossible to know what they were trying to sell.
