I FINALLY VISITED FUJIAN! I knew I would love this place from what little understanding I had of it beforehand, and it lived up to all the expectations and more. This video is a beefy one but stick around because it's worth it for ALL the shenanigans I packed into this one little weekend.

I'm getting closer and closer to checking the boxes on every single province / autonomous region within mainland China, now that I got Fujian I only have 5 left (out of about 30)!! If all goes According to Plan, I will have completed them all by 2026! Stay tuned!!! (it's not as easy as it sounds, I do have a full-time job to work around but I am doing my best 😂)

➡️ If you're new here: hi, I'm Katherine from the United States 🇺🇸 I've been living in China 🇨🇳 for 5 years and after having graduating from my masters program in environmental engineering at Nanjing University, I am now working at an environmental organization called Green Zhejiang. I also run this video channel on the side to share interesting experiences and stories, especially focusing on rural / small town life. Some videos you may find interesting:

This video was filmed with a combination of 2 different cameras, GoPro Hero 11 (selfie/widescreen shots + most chats with strangers) and Sony ZV1 (pretty much everything else)

This camera is the secret to how I get such stable footage even while biking and walking 🚴‍♀️ She's waterproof, shoots in 4K, and is very tiny and portable as well as extremely easy to use
SONY: https://amzn.to/3RybfiU
This camera is my B-roll queen, she nails the perfect lighting and focus to get beautiful shots to bring my videos to the next level 📷
