In this vlog, I share a realistic day in my life in Beijing, where I take you through the hutongs and show you how to take instagram photos, bake for my new cookie company, and hang out at my favorate hutong bar in Beijing while sipping on a Baijiu cocktail. Throughout the day, I'll be chatting with you and answering your questions about living in Beijing, work life balance, commute, culture shocks, dating in China, and more! Hope you enjoy this video, and find it somewhat helpful if you are considering moving to Beijing/China!

🙋🏻♀️ 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’ve lived in the US my whole life and have been really curious about life in China. Not only did this video help answer my questions, but it also taught me how to take Instagram photos despite being awkward with posing. You’re so relatable!
Yes yes…love the way you edit your videos!!! I have been looking for the longest time for interesting and aesthetically pleasing vlogs from Beijing! Best luck on this TH-cam journey ✨
Yay! Thank you!
Discovered your channel recently and have been binging all your videos! I love your genuine personality and unique view on living as a young professional in China. Please continue to upload blogs and take us on your journey as you figure things out ❤️
Thank you so so much! Working on the next video:)
I've been binge watching your videos cause I'll be moving to Beijing soon and they've been really helpful and soothing (experiencing separation anxiety) and once I'm settled I'll definitely try out your cookies
Hey hey Renee, welcome to Beijing, and all the best with everything!! Life tends to work out in unexpected and yet miraculous ways. Good luck 💕
Your vids are always refreshing… excellent that ure taking life in your stride and njoying the cards life dealt..:) all about the attitude junior.
Thank you so much! Trying my best:)
Evelyn! Missed you! It's sooo cool that you started a cookie company!!!! I wish you all the best for starting that and great success in business and TH-cam. Love your videos! :)
Thank you so much!!! :) Trying my best to keep at it!
so happy that you’re thriving there 💙 looking forward to more vlogs and deep talks ✨
thank you💕
As soon as I get back to China, I will order some of your cookies! Great vlog!
ahhhh looking forward to it!!! Thank you:)
Interesting way to telling us you are in a relationship in the beginning of your video. Congrats!
haha thank you!
Hi Evelyn! watching this video was very comforting and I very much enjoyed it. I hope you find meaning in the process of making these videos too and that there is something for you to get out of it as well :) I'm super glad you are finally starting to feel like Beijing is home!! Just sharing some very real experiences, I've been in a similar position and some days out of nowhere I may have an identity crisis, absolutely torn between two familiar yet distant worlds. All the best for what lies ahead, I am definitely rooting for you Evelyn! jiayou
thank you so so much! I read this note several times and every single time it makes my day:) I really enjoy making videos, but it's knowing that there are people out there who enjoy and relate to my stories that makes the process meaningful. Thank you for sharing your story - I'm rooting for your too!
Love you, good to see you
Your cookies looked sooo good!! I’m glad that you’re happy, it definitely sounds scary and lonely to uproot and move so far, and doubly so if people expect you to feel better about it just because it isn’t your first time there. I hope your various ventures work out well!! Getting a stand mixer might be a good idea 👀 it definitely makes baking a lot easier for me at least!
Ahhh thank so much for this comment. Yes, I some times blame myself a bit for going back to my home country and feeling like a stranger...but thank you for understanding that!! I just got a hand mixer:) saving up for a stand mixer!
I'm a foreigner in China and I have to say, if you're not a native English-speaker and you don't have at least 2 years of work experience, finding a *legal* job in China will most likely be hell, even in a big city. Many illegal opportunities might come your way (illegal = no work visa included), but please don't take them, you don't want to break the law in a foreign country, and recently they've started paying more attention to cases like that. I'm married to a chinese man and I don't have the right to work here, that's how hard it is. So, if you have another kind of visa that allows you to stay in China and that's what you want to do, I recommend that you try finding an on-line job, so you can work for a company from your own country and still be in China.
Agreed, and thank you so much for the note! I have noticed too that it's been getting harder for foreigners to keep their visas in China. Several of my friends have had to leave China recently because of visa issues. Hope it gets better for everyone...and all the best with your life in China!
Gosh, you really make me wanna live in Beijing😆
ahhh you should totally give it a try🤩
Why do I feel like I am one of your long distance friend and now I am so genuinely happy seeing you in a better place 😭🥰
aww thank you so much!!! You comment definitely made my day a little happier. Hope you are taking care:)
I like your videos my friend , The key is to never give up hope . Keep moving forward and believe in yourself . I send Love and Support 😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰
Thank you so so much!!
Missed you Evelyn, hope you’ll be uploading more videos soon.

Do you have dual citizenship? I heard from my Chinese friends that the Chinese government is going to abolish dual citizenship.
Nope I only have a Chinese passport🤪
