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!

🙋🏻‍♀️ 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.
