This vlog follows FunFancie, a Thailand expert living in Shanghai, on her Beijing vacation. She begins at the Forbidden City (Gugong), marveling at its scale and securing a cute traditional fan as a souvenir. She notes the city's strict security measures, a stark contrast to her experiences elsewhere in China.
FunFancie's culinary journey begins with a debate over where to find the best Peking duck. She ultimately chooses a restaurant recommended by a friend, but not before sampling local snacks, including a unique cotton candy-like treat. The restaurant's creative approach to customer service—a caged bird to keep her company during her meal—adds a memorable touch to her dining experience.
Day two takes FunFancie to the Great Wall of China. She opts for the high-speed train, providing viewers with practical travel tips, including booking through Trip.com. Upon arrival, she faces unexpected challenges—extreme wind and a full cable car—ultimately taking a small train to the Wall.
Reaching the Great Wall, FunFancie is awestruck by its immensity and stunning views. Despite the strong wind and a microphone malfunction, she shares her awe and considers it a once-in-a-lifetime experience, although she jokes about not needing to revisit. Her overall experience, despite the challenges, is unforgettable and highly recommended.
FunFancie concludes her vlog reflecting on her trip, highlighting the Great Wall as the primary goal, and emphasizes the trip's unforgettable nature despite not being the most enjoyable.
