So I just arrived with my entire family to China! Today I’m here with my wife in Beijing, which I haven’t been to in 15 years (although I have been to other parts of China in the interim), and I’m really excited to see how the city has changed.
In an earlier version of this video I clickbaitily described myself as “moving” to China even though we'll only be here for a little over a month, which some of you felt was excessive. I agree, and so I’ve updated the title and video to reflect.
Xiaomanyc returns to China after 15 years, revisiting Beijing with his family. He explores the city's transformation, experiencing a cashless society, a rickshaw ride through the hutongs, street food like fermented tofu juice, and even finds pearls in an oyster. The video also shows him trying on traditional Chinese emperor clothing and undergoing a unique street ear cleaning. It's a delightful mix of cultural immersion and personal rediscovery.
