Retracing a route through Zhejiang

Katherine's 40-day cycling trip follows a route that Hal, founder of Green Jajang, rode 20 years earlier. She begins in Hangzhou and travels through coastal areas near Ningbo, the streets of Wenzhou and river corridors across Zhejiang Province. Katherine rides alone, in contrast with Hal's earlier tandem journey, and uses the trip to observe how the places along the route have changed.

She sees rivers that once had a reputation for pollution and now appear cleaner, with canals supporting visible wildlife. Her journey includes stops at environmental protection events and conversations with residents. People give her gifts during the trip, gestures that make the route personal as well as observational. She also reflects on how her encounters differ from Hal's experience two decades before.

Community work and environmental change

The video connects Katherine's observations with Green Jajang, the environmental organization Hal founded. Its work and history are discussed alongside the changes she sees in waterways and local communities. The journey concludes with an event celebrating the organization's 23rd anniversary. Katherine describes the rivers, canals and generous local encounters from her own perspective, while the comparison with Hal's earlier route gives the video a longer timeline.

Her story is both a cycling account and a record of environmental action. It follows a 40-day route across Zhejiang, includes local events and interactions, and ends by recognizing Green Jajang's role in the communities she visits. The video presents the changes Katherine and Hal observed and does not imply that every environmental issue has been resolved. It also captures the people who supported her trip and the gifts she received along the way.
