Markets, houses and Hau Mountain
Katherine's Journey to the East continues in Fujian, a province she has wanted to visit for five years. She starts in Rayuan for a work event and then travels south to Fuan. In the markets she looks at traditional crafts and notices the mix of old wooden houses and newer concrete buildings. During the visit, someone gives her a warning about internet scams, a practical reminder to verify information before making payments. Wood carvings and window designs catch her attention as examples of the houses' craftsmanship.
Her New Year's outing includes a hike up Hau Mountain. Along the trail, she encounters vendors selling assorted goods and sees colorful details and rock formations. The route ends at a mountain temple with broad views. Katherine later visits a night market, then watches a fireworks display for New Year's Eve in a small town. She reflects that the celebration feels different from one in a larger city.
Fishing villages and the island
The following day Katherine takes a boat to a remote island. She walks through fishing villages and sees old wooden boats, reminders of earlier local life.

Rather than focusing only on popular sights, she spends time in smaller communities and notices details such as house construction, crafts, boats and food preparation.
