Katherine's Journey to the East takes us on a captivating adventure as she prepares for the Chinese New Year in rural China. The vlog begins with Katherine decorating her home for the Year of the Snake, a year where, surprisingly, snake imagery is less prevalent than expected. A trip to the neighboring town of Hangu reveals a vibrant New Year's market overflowing with snacks, decorations, and even some questionable snake representations.

The party includes a fun game, a bamboo equivalent of jump rope, highlighting the community spirit. The video beautifully captures the festive atmosphere, from craft shows and performances to the ubiquitous firecrackers marking the approach of the New Year.
The second half of the vlog documents Katherine's epic cross-country train journey. She shares the experience of purchasing snacks and gifts at a grocery store, emphasizing the aesthetic packaging of fruits during the festive season. The journey itself is an adventure, with Katherine and her companions securing seats in the dining car due to the high demand for train tickets during this peak travel time. The long journey includes work, scenery viewing, language learning, and pear-eating, culminating in their arrival in Cuming, Yunnan. Katherine's detailed account, filled with personal anecdotes and observations, provides a unique and engaging glimpse into the heart of Chinese New Year celebrations and the challenges of travel during this busy period.
