In this vlog, I document my last few days living in Beijing, China, taking my friends to my favorite hidden cafes, shops, and restaurants. I reflect on my time here, trying to navigate life and career choices as a twenty something, building my own cookie company and creating a community around it, and finding closure to a city I’ll always call home❤️

    This was so aesthetic and a delight to watch. The places you visited not just in this video but in general made me see Beijing, and China, as a place that could suit me. I loved the cassette tape shop which reminded me of the ones I frequented after school when I was just a primary schooler in China when they were targeting university students. They also reminded me of my parents' younger selves. It's nice to be grounded to one's roots after being an immigrant for over quarter of a century.

    Ah, discovered your channel recently and as a fellow INFP who's lived in China before, I 💛 this. Your video made me nostalgic in a way, even though I've never seen that side of Beijing. I'm inspired to visit again someday - Beijing is beautiful through your lens. Also, cool to recognize both Jasmine and Tina in your video! And I loved the Skillshare sponsor segment - it actually tied in so perfectly with your video. I love that you had the zine story with small batch bookie co. to share! Best of luck with what's ahead! It's a bit bittersweet to know that this is your last video in Beijing. But thank you for sharing this slice of your life 💖
