I didn’t know it was the opening ceremony until ppl said it in the comments 😂😂 my bad lmao

[@josephdewuhan]

Again, great video. Many thanks. Although born in China, I have never been in Hainan. My longest one day bike trip (old Chinese styled one speed bike) was from Shanghai to Jiaxing (嘉兴 where CPC was founded), a little more than 100 km one way. My longest multi day bike trip was from Shanghai to Suzhou (苏州） to Wuxi （无锡） and back to Shanghai . That was in early 1980s before you were born I think.

[@rahmanslsadat3406]

Katherine, I am happy to see that you successfully took a lone bike trip to off-beaten places in China. I am curious to know whether you really did take that bike trip all by yourself? If you did, throughout that trip, did any of the local guys/men try to hit on you? I know for a fact that a foreign woman biking alone in other Asian countries like the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, etc will attract a lot of unwanted attentions from local guys/men. I would highly appreciate your honest experience. Thank you and keep on trucking!

[@kats_journey_east]

Yes I was alone the whole time and no one hit on me just lots of “hi”s and “hello”s

[@rahmanslsadat3406]

@@kats_journey_east Honestly, it's so refreshing to know that you can confirm that you took that entire trip alone and was not harassed which, as I have mentioned, would have been the case in many Asian (and other) countries. Thank you very much for your quick reply and I will pass your videos to some people (female) who have concerns about their safety in China if they travel alone. Keep up with your great work and videos. P/S: "Journey to the East". Very good & innovative title coz it reminds people of that epic "Journey to the West" saga.

[@hainanbob6144]

Nice one, as always. The other vlogger was right about Hainan children and bikes but I think it goes deeper than that. We have noticed that children in Hainan seem to be under far less pressure than children up north, there is also a lot less mobile phone usage, at least until they are teenagers. I heard all the hellos today and the excuse a me! My response to the latter would be "why, what have you done?" but that is usually not understood. I did respond to a hello yesterday, heard a few metres after I passed them of course. I went back and asked why they waited until I had gone by. One of the three answered, in perfect English, "my English is not very good"! PS Are the other bike vloggers riding expensive bikes?

Hainan's tropical climate & country side is nice, very similar to those in Malaysia where I live. And yes, the Chinese here too, like to burn paper houses, cars, TVs etc. to their beloved departed ones. A friend told me that once, he even burnt a paper iPhone for his late father and when the friend's phone ranged that very midnight, he dared not answer the call. Hahaha.

[@jupplut6159]

Very nice you showed the Northern part of Hainan area was still pristine country side, I had visited the southern part in Sanya area was very well touristy area, as far back as early 1980 when many Russian people spent their winter vacation. I saw many hotels and shop was written in Russian no English sign, even in early 2000 there was beautiful Russian restaurant right on the beach with Russian chef and waiter.

[@hooikeatang8000]

Hello

[@petermanuel5043]

Maybe the people in Hainan seem a little more 'hello'y than other places because of the tourists in places like Sanya. Thanks for the fantastic video

Have you tried the chickens in Wenchang? It’s one of the best chickens in Guangdong

[@tsuikr]

First, a local told me that nowadays it is very hard to find genuine Wenchang chicken. Second, unlike the Guangdong people Hainanese like to cook their chickens real tough, otherwise 沒咬勁！

[@jaminzhang7103]

哈哈，笑死我了，下午5点跟你说good morning，这是典型的想跟你问好，但一下子不知道英文怎么表达的一种状态，只能知道什么英文单词就脱口而出。你之所以收到这么多hello有两方面的原因，一是海南人性格如此，很会表达自己的友善，二是海南外国人整体数量还是偏少，你属于“稀有动物”，当地人遇上了当然会感到新奇。

Congratulations on completing another epic tour! I love how you stopped at that little tall shrine at around the 8:38 mark that was in the middle of the fields. Was there much to that the shrine?

[@StevenX-v1r]

Those abandoned houses in countryside have owners. They usually moved to cities. They will come back to claim compensation if relocation happens. In China, farmers don't pay anything for their residence land lot. They only need to file some application forms if they want to build a house. Of course, one farmer family can only get one lot. there are limits on size of lots, but not strict. Farmers usually take larger size of land than allowed.

[@afox6023]

[@iWantPeace838]

2:18 the music sounded more like the funeral ritual to me. Not sure if I was right though. The vegetation, coast and beaches are so typical tropical. It's hugely different to places like Zhejiang for example.The atmosphere would have been a lot more humid, I suppose.

[@internationaldaily9820]

@Johnson Li Oh... not really... it is actually very well developed already. As Katherine said, she is in the countryside and she is just showing the rural part of the island only. For a sub tropical island it is good to retain some of the original charm and beauty, not only of the place but the people and even the animals as Katherine has shown! China develops so super fast. You can't recognize the place just in one short year, not to mention five years later, so yes, even here it will change like mad. In the video, even in villages, you can also see that new big houses being built and upgraded. Those parts that are untouched are probably left so deliberately.

[@rapidrainc9318]

Thank you for sharing another bike tour of yours. Through your videos, one can also see there is plenty of places in China which are "very" rural looking. Yes, indeed, that's a bit overwhelming of Hellos. In addition to your different appearance from those locals, I think many probably see your attractive appearance too. Some Chinese are funny or even can appear a bit strange, and I guess that's not peculiar to the Chinese, so they may say something to someone who looks different from what they are more familiar which they normally would not have expressed in their daily life.
