A Full Day Beijing art vlog: Kayaking, biking, Temples, Royal Houses & Street Food | 1 Hour

北京好晒啊 ☀️ I spent a whole day exploring Beijing — the city I grew up in. Kayaking in Beihai Park (北海公园), plein air watercolor painting by the lake, afternoon tea in a royal tea house, visiting temples, and ending the night with 卤煮 and 炒肝 — the most Beijing street food you can find. I hope this video can accompany you when I'm not physically by your side. Whether you're painting, working, or just need someone there — let this be your company. I'm so grateful to have Iliana as a friend who showed up when it mattered most ❤️ ⚠️ No subtitles on this one — it's a full hour and I'm still working on them! For now, let this play in the background while you fold laundry, cook, paint, or just need some company. I'll be releasing this video chapter by chapter with detailed English voiceover, proper subtitles, and deeper dives into the history behind each location, what we're actually eating, and more. Think of it as a knowledge-rich mini documentary series — coming soon, piece by piece 🧩 This is the full 1-hour version. If you saw the short one, welcome back.
