In this video, I returned to one of my favorite cities in Chinaβ€”its vibrant capital, Beijing! This time, I explored the city in a unique way with my friend Gia, who took me to her favorite childhood park.

Our day was filled with incredible cultural experiences as we engaged with the locals, listening to their music and even joining in on some impromptu dancing.

We witnessed the beauty of Xinjiang culture, as people in traditional outfits danced to their enchanting regional music.

What made this experience unforgettable was when I started dancing with one of the ladies from the Xinjiang group. Before I knew it, more women wanted to join, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere! The warmth and hospitality of the people truly made this a day to remember.

From the music to the dancing, this was a beautiful way to connect with Beijing’s rich culture and people.
