In this vlog, I take you on a bike tour of Beijing, and show you what a day in Beijing is like from early morning to late night. Come with me to bike through Hutongs, discover hidden hipster cafes and bars, take a peek of the Forbidden City, and uncover the thriving underground live music scene in Beijing.

🙋🏻♀️ HELLO
hi i'm Evelyn. thanks for stopping by!
➭ what do you do? i'm a tech project manager
➭ where are you located? Beijing
➭ what's your weird accent? i grew up in china, and lived in the US for 8 years
➭ how did you end up in Beijing? Imagine leaving your life for a vacation and never making it back...would you ever accept the inevitability of moving on? That's what happened to me in 2020. After watching my entire life in Chicago slip away because of COVID, I made the hard decision to start over in Beijing, and I want to share the journey with you.

If you like my stories, please consider buying a coffee - every cup of coffee is a small dose of conviction that this channel may one day become a "thing"🤪
“I go with the one with highest alcohol quantity for lowest price” 🤣🤣🤣
Poor girl's way with beers🍻🤪
Hi there, new subscriber here! Just discovered your channel and have been binging your videos. I'm a grad student currently working towards the end of my studies and I remember my time as an exchange student in Beijing as the best months in my life. Now as the end of my studies drawing closer and I feel like I'll be stuck in an industry and job that I do not feel excited about, anxiety just crashes over me. Discovering your videos has really helped me though. There is a certain melancholy and comfort in your vids, that make me feel less lonely, so thank you for posting!
Thank you for share your story Jenny 😭 I feel you!! I'm very much still stuck in an industry I'm not passionate about myself...but, if there's one thing I've learned from the past few not-so-happy years, that is you have every right to pursuit your happiness unapologetically, and you have it in you to make your passion a livelihood - I believe in you! And trust me, everything will be alright:)
@@tapiocapress aw thank you! Reading your reply made my day ☺️
I totally fell in love with your channel, and I literally can't stop watching your videos. I find them so inspiring
Thank you! Sending lots of love💕
The Hutongs in Beijing do leave an unforgettable experience
I love your videos, your mindset and just all the reflections you share... Totally FABULOUS
Thank you so much🥰
So interesting 👍 I'm planning a trip to Beijing soon and would like to visit the places in the video
Your editing is insane! Loved the vibes of this vlog, it's introspective and so visually beautiful!
Thank you thank you thank you!! Really glad you enjoyed🥰
Hey Evelyn, another great video of Beijing👍 I am truly amazed by your ability of capturing the soul of this city. Anyone can have a great camera and fancy drone shots but to be able to capture the mood and provoke emotional connection through your script, that is the next level skill! Never stop making videos girl! I be here rooting for your RUclips success!
the peaceful mornings! i relate to that so much! i became a morning person from a young age, because I knew once my family woke up, I would lose that quiet moment. I'm glad to see that calmness still exists in a macro-perspective in a big city like Beijing!
I always feel the most free in the mornings, and feel like I can do anything☀️ It's crazy that in a mega city like Beijing it's not a particular place but a point in time that you can find calmness...Cheers, and hope you enjoy your mornings wherever you are:)
My roommate/best friend in uni was Chinese and our time together was cut short due to Covid (she went back in China and I am based in India). Watching your videos feels like an insight in her daily life, thank you for posting 💕
Thank you! I'm so sorry to hear your best friend had to go back:( COVID changed all our lives in one way or another...I really hope both you and your friend are happy where you are now - sending lots of love💕
great videography and editing. underrated keep going
Thank you🥰🥰🥰
hi evelyn! i’ve been watching your videos for a while now and i want to let you know that they’re so awesome! i look forward to your lovely uploads and your videos/dialogues provide me much needed moments of peace. i definitely believe that you’re my favorite youtuber :,)
Thanks so so much Stella!! All the best to you wherever you are 🥰
Love this! Having lived 7 years in Beijing (originally from Chicago), watching this gives me all kinds of nostalgia ♥♥♥ I love that School Bar is still there!!!
Hi!! Yesss, school bar is still going strong🎸
I love your videos! Hoping I'll get to visit Beijing again soon 🥺
Come visit sooooooon!🤩
This makes me wanna move to Beijing for some reason
Evelyn, I've been obsessively watching your videos for a couple of days now! Your whole vibe is just so relatable and heart-warming. I can't thank you enough for the content and thoughts you're sharing 😍
Ahhhh so happy to hear….that’s so much for being wayyyy too generous🤍 glad we met at this corner of the internet!
this is video is amazing ! i like your videos especially this one because i wanted to see beijing from your point of view . i hope i come soon
Thanks so much! Can't wait for you to make it to Beijing soon:)
Thank you for the video! WIll check out the Metal hand coffee cafe!
I am going to Beijing for an exchange semester next week and waahh i am binging your videos because they are so heartwarming and show a totally different side of Beijing that I have never seen before! I am excited for your adventures in Guangzhou, but I will first binge alllll your beijing content
i miss the hutongs so much :( my au pair agency had a kindergarten in the hutongs around 张自忠路 and i went there everyday to help out a bit and meet with the mom and boy of the family i was staying with. I wish i would have had more time to independently explore the city, im sure I would have enjoyed it more. love seeing your perspective and you have such a nice way to edit your videos. thank you for your effort and sharing your videos with us!! 😊
Aww this has me feeling nostalgic. I lived in Beijing in the 90s as a kid before moving to the US. I still miss it but also know it's not the same city that I have in my childhood memories anymore :'( Thanks for showing us around and love the local perspective!
I would love to go back in time to see what Beijing was like in the 90s - must have been so different!
Really wish you were my guide and friend around Beijing, or just friend in general! Hi from Minneapolis 😉
Hi from Guangzhou🥰
Was patiently waiting for this vlog😁❤ love it😍
yayay! Thanks for your patience🥰 Trying to be more consistent!
What a creative vlog :) Love the editing (as usual) - I'm in LA and i 100% feel you on liking the slowed down edition of big city life in the early mornings.
Thank you!!! Would love to bike around LA in the early mornings one day!
Love this tour of Beijing!
great leap, my favorite hangout! nice video!
Thank you!
I'm a student in china at the moment and I've just discovered your channel! Currently binging through all your videos 😍😍
So glad to meet you:) All the best with everything in China!!
Such a lovely video and great channel!! I really want to visit Beijing!
Please come visit soon!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos, can't believe you haven't blown up yet!
aHHHHH Thank you so much!!!🥰
This video was so beautiful Evelyn! I was in Beijing for a couple of months in 2018 and I’m sooooo pissed not to have seen any of the little cafes and bars you pointed out - definitely need more content on these intimate little spots that you would almost have to be a local to know about 🙏
Looking forward to more vlogs that I can live vicariously through until China’s borders are open again ✌️🌷
Can't wait for you to some back and check out all the cute spots!!!!😍😍😍
Thankyou ! I needed this vlog today
Sending love!
Mmmm the beer in the beginning looks so refreshing! Miss you!
Miss you!!!! Come visit pleeeeez let's go to all the bars🥂
Definitely going to have to check out Metal Hands soon. Looks so cool and the coffee looked delicious!
Yesss! They have a few locations in Beijing and the one I went to was the biggest (I think!) there's also a pretty one in wudaoying hutong if you happen to be around!
Hi there, I’ll be moving to Beij in a few weeks. I love your content, so well edited and curated. By the way, I never comment on RUclips videos, this is my first time. You’re doing awesome 👏
Welcome to Beijing!!!!! And thanks so much for your comment love💛All the best for your move!
This is so cool! It's making me miss Beijing a bit:))
I know it's a bit trendy to go to 南鑼鼓巷, but if u haven't yet, the 菊兒人家 滷肉飯 is totally worth checking out (they have a vegetarian/vegan option also).
I ran past 菊兒人家 today! Will have to check it out:)
I found you through " aleese ". Your videos are very refreshing and peaceful. Thankyou for sharing lovely moment with us. 🦋❤️
Thank you so much! So happy we've found each other...(thanks Aleeeeese!)
Seems so cool!! I loved that vlog :)
Really glad you enjoyed😃 Sending love!!
I really enjoy your updates and glad I found your channel. My daughter is majoring in INternational Affairs and Chinese and is supposed to study in Shanghai in the spring (fingers crossed)...she is also going to attempt grad school in China (#1 reach school is Tsinghua) with plans to work in China for about 8-10 years after graduation, so this is fantastic information.
I'm so glad to hear your daughter is interested in International Relations and China in particular! She might have heard of this already, but her interests seem to be a great fit for a fully funded Master's program at Tsinghua called Schwarzman Scholars - www.schwarzmanscholars.org/ Sending my love and best wishes to you both!
@@tapiocapress that would be ideal! HA....
I love your channel!! Your editing is mad cool! I also just started my own channel and I’m inspired by how your whole layout is l💕
Ahhhhh this makes me so happy!! All the best with your channel - and have a ton of fun!!
A very good insights of what’s happening in Beijing / China now is so safe and moving around freely. How I wish I can travel back there again especially Beijing & Shanghai 😞 Due to current pandemic situation it’s getting worst over here, just couldn’t travel to China for now. Sigh ! Thank you for sharing all this videos around Evelyn and keep it up ! Wish you able to achieve something new in your new career at Beijing 💪 Will watch move new videos from you ! 加油！🤗
Thank you!! I hope you can make it back to China soon:) Trying my best to post more often and show you more of life in China😊
So hard to find some of your recommendations on Google Map, is any other map app in English that would be helpful when visiting China?
Greetings from Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬
Very Fluently your English.🎉
Wonderful video!! Let's go to schoolbar together!!
Yessssss LET'S GO!
Hahaa if you don't have friends you can always pretend that you're reading a book! :-) An introvert said. How about saying Hi to a total stranger, and start a conversation ... :-)
your video was very soothing ! it made me miss those fleeting moments of my childhood. I won't get an opportunity to go back to Beijing until I graduate (from high school haha - your viewers are diverse!), and I miss it a lot. . . ₍ᐢ ̥ ̞ ̥ᐢ₎
I see moving to Beijing as an opportunity to start over too, but that's something for the distant future. I take all your videos as an inspiration and an opportunity to learn about the things that are beyond me at the moment ♡
All the best with school! Beijing would be such a fun city for new adventures - so would Shanghai!
@@tapiocapress thank you!!! :D
You have access to RUclips in China? How come?!
vpn
Trash indeed. Soon Cabo Coffee will open near there so will be much better
OMG! I‘ve been wanting to try Cabo forever but it's too far from me...can't wait for it to open near 白塔寺！
@@tapiocapress yep should be open next week
