We dive headfirst into the heart of Beijing, a city that redefines what we thought we knew about China. For six incredible days, we explore the layers of this ancient capital—its rich history, vibrant energy, and modern charm.
From walking the Great Wall to savoring traditional hot pot, navigating busy metro stations and finding unexpected serenity in quiet parks, our journey is full of unforgettable moments. It’s a story of curiosity, discovery, and challenging the misconceptions we grew up with.
Beijing welcomed us with open arms, rich flavors, and a depth of culture that left us both humbled and inspired. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to experience Beijing for the first time, this video is for you.
Join us as we explore the iconic sites, immerse ourselves in local experiences, and share our unfiltered reactions to one of the world’s most fascinating cities. ❤️

常来常往，中国欢迎您
no local food in wangfujing
Love your vibes! Let me know when you are in Chongqing! It would be fun to show you around and take you to the authentic Chongqing style hotpot.
Go to jail, do not pass go. Yup, government doesn't like foreigners, people don't like foreigners, can't navigate or buy anything without giving the ccp everything about you; food, air and water contaminated, multiple illnesses floating around…… lovely place, can't wait to go..
Great, great video. Many thanks for making this 🙂
看你俩吃火锅我都快急死了😂
The girl is very beautiful and has a nice voice.
LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello! I recently watched your vlog of your visit to Beijing, and it truly opened my eyes and gave me a lot to think about. I’m so happy to see you share your unique perspective on the city through your lens.
In the video, your exploration of iconic landmarks like the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and Tiananmen Square really moved me. The way you expressed your respect and admiration for these historical sites made me realize how easily we can overlook cultural treasures in our daily lives.
I especially enjoyed the segment where you visited the Hutongs. It was clear that you appreciated the traditional alleyway life in Beijing. Perhaps it’s because these alleyways have a unique sense of time, making each walk feel like stepping into a different world. I’m glad that you were able to see the beauty in these everyday scenes—this was a fresh perspective for me too.
In addition, China has many other famous food, such as West Lake Sweet and Sour Fish, Iron Pot Braised goose… I hope you can try it at the next time.
If you have any question about China or Chinese food, just let me know. By the way, I'm looking forward to watch your video again.
Hello, I think Beijing has a wide and developed place.
20:13, Really, some tourists sites are close on Monday? No way, wow that's unexpected. It's similar to my home, Malaysia, but only some restaurants and shop close on Monday.
25:40, Sometimes in some places, they don't accept international credit card like Japan, so that's good use you alipay as long as it's still working in China and for Japan, bring lots of cash.
41:57, Oh the chicken wing taste good and delicious. Never try chicken wing in China, but hopefully in May or June when I revisit Beijing, Shanghai and flying to Chengdu and Chongqing for the 1st time, I am looking forward to my trip although it's gonna be hot, humid and sometimes rain.
Nice thumbnail. Hope you enjoy your 1st time visiting Beijing in 1 week, wow. I am planning to revisit Beijing and visit Chengdu and Chongqing for the 1st time in May or June although the weather is gonna be hot, humid and sometimes rain because it can be unpredictable.
I’ve watched all of the videos you guys in Beijing and chengdu on tiktok, I love the style of your
shootings and the big smile in Anshely❤hope you enjoy the trip in China and looking forward to the more interesting vedios😊
Amazing video, I love it
Great video. Hope you couple enjoy everything in China.❤
I miss some few words about the place of Cambodia there is tamao is wildlife rescue center where they treat animal good and healthy that’s my last one and wish you a good day and stay safe and stay healthy
Now Air Canada have direct flight from Vancouver to Beijing (suddenly Toronto don't have Air Canada direct flight anymore. But they can transfer in Vancouver).
Your smile, honesty and positive attitude really inspires me. what are the genuine human beings
53:47 reminded me of Kara everytime she tries awesome food, @KaraandNate
It's incredible that I watched such a long video from the beginning to the end！ Additionally, I know you two went to Chengdu later, which is also my hometown. Hope you have a lot of fun in China.
来自bilibili的问候❤喜欢你们，男主很幽默，女主笑容很治愈❤
你好，你们还在中国吗？为什么在小红书上的账号被注销了？期待你们的更新
親切的笑容❤😊🎉
just crazy how most of us go to school for 9 years to learn English and nowadays it is hard to find many people in China who can understand basically English let alone speak
Fun fact, despite its popularity in the US, Din Tai Fung is actually from Taiwan 🙂
I watched the end of this video on the subway and felt compelled to leave another comment.
Thank you both so much for showing such respect and care for our Great Wall and for speaking out against defacing historical buildings with graffiti (though I must admit, our people aren’t entirely innocent in this regard). Your actions reflect the education and upbringing you received in the States, which you carry with you wherever you go. You should be proud of that.
I don’t know what happened to Ashley’s mom, but my heart broke when she mentioned that her mom would never get to see this. I sincerely hope you’ll have the chance to bring your loved ones to our country someday—we would be honoured to host you.
Paul Wall certainly made it clear just how much you’re welcome here—no one could have done a better job.
Enjoy your stay in China, and best wishes from Guangzhou!
haha it’s so ironic where you wrote down your names 😂
such a joy to watch this video!
Hello from China! I discovered your video on one of the largest Chinese video platforms called Bilibili and immediately tracked it down here on YouTube and immediately subscribed. I think you guys are just too adorable! Your sincerity has truly touched me, and watching your videos feels incredibly wonderful. I couldn't help but smile throughout the entire video. Thank you for bringing these wonderful feelings to people all around the world. I hope you can visit China more often! 🎉🎉🎉
As a local Beijing native (living in Canada), your amazing video brought me tears of Joy and made me so homesick now😂❤. Btw, the “door nail meat pie” got the name as the shape resembles the round thingy on the ancient Chinese city wall gate. You can Google the image of that if you are curious.
Also you guy nailed some of my favourite local Beijing food! Such as the Jing Jiang Roy Si (the shredded pork with the tofu wrap), the lamb and beef bronze hotpot. The only two things I wish you guys would have tried are Zha Jiang Mian (soybean sauce noodle w/pork), and Beijing local Bao Zi (pork bun) with Chao Gan (liver and intestines soup) which is a classic combo for local Beijing people. ❤
