Living in China for decades, I feel that the biggest change is that the rivers and streams have become clean and clear. The situation of sewage flowing across the river and all kinds of garbage floating on the river has completely disappeared.

We have people that wade out into the flood control "river" by my home in Nanhu International Subdivision and clean out any debris or stuck logs. When it floods they also remove the heavy sand sediment that deposits in the walkways. That has to be a tough job.

Hi Katherine, this is going to be awesome joining you on this trip. It is so comforting to know that you have no issues at all doing this alone and that you know that you will be safe and loved by the people you meet on the way. I am sure you will be invited to many rural home. Have a great journey and keep well.....watching you forever from Europe.

What a thoughtful comment! It brings back memories of when I first drove across the border from Canada to the US. I vividly recall the kind advice given to me by the US customs officer, who advised me to avoid using gas stations in the city after dark. on the other hand, I have no safety concerns in China or Canada......

Well delivered Katherine. Love your narration and how you put these pieces together. China is looking spectacular in the suburbs. A 180 cleanup of that section of the globe. Nature enhances the scenery after humans take responsibility. It's a beautiful landscape with a rich history of environmental changes. Definitely, I'd like to see the farming island too. Maybe a bonus after you get through your 2000km journey 🤔 🏊 (kidding). Thanks for sharing. You're an awesome and beautiful individual. Looking forward to your next video ❤️. -S.Lim
