Sharing genuine experiences and local perspectives of Beijing life

About me

Since moving to Beijing in 2016, I've been fortunate to experience this amazing city's daily life, culture, and continuous transformation. What started as a new job opportunity has turned into a journey of discovery and appreciation.

Through my time here, I've gotten to know the city's lesser-known spots, from peaceful hutong cafes to local markets and community gatherings. These everyday experiences have given me a deeper understanding of Beijing's charm.

I started this blog to share these experiences and hopefully help others discover their own meaningful connections with Beijing, whether they're just visiting or planning to stay longer.
