Miao's life

Today is the 15th day of the 8th month on the Chinese lunar calendar — the Mid-Autumn Festival! 🌕🥮

It’s a festival all about family reunions and spending time together. Wishing you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and lots of wonderful moments with the people you love! ❤️

Have you eaten any mooncakes yet? 😄

And here’s a little quiz:

In Chinese mythology, what animal is believed to live on the Moon? 🌕👀

After watching my walnut video 👉 https://youtu.be/SZ0TXeROikk?is=ez63n...
Would you ever try “playing” with walnuts? 👀

Why do Chinese people play with walnuts instead of eating them? 👀
Some pairs can cost thousands of yuan.

I went to China’s most famous antique market to see why people are so obsessed with them.

🍎 Apple finally has a foldable iPhone.

But in China, foldable phones have already been around for years — and now we even have tri-fold phones. 😳

I went into the stores to try some of the craziest Chinese foldables myself.

Are they actually that good? And can Apple still catch up?

🏯 Would you guess this little Chinese building is actually a brownie?!

I found an afternoon tea in Beijing where you can paint your dessert. But does it taste as good as it looks? 😋

Adults in Beijing are going crazy over the LABUBU theme park... and I might have joined them. 😅

I just dropped a new video exploring this magical, colorful place, and let's just say... my wallet needs a break! 👉https://youtu.be/bx_YQwN8400?is=mDqbu...

What is your biggest "guilty pleasure" that always takes your money? 👇

Miao's life

In my new video, I visited Beijing’s Silk Market, where bargaining is a huge part of the shopping experience.

❓Would you choose to shop at a market like this?

Miao's life

An item was priced at RMB 2,800.
Then it dropped to RMB 800… and finally RMB 300. 😳

So are the prices at Beijing’s famous Silk Market even real?

I grew up hearing stories about this place, but this was my first time actually shopping there. I tested the bargaining, explored what it sells today, and asked foreign tourists whether they would recommend it.

Bargain paradise—or tourist trap? 👀
The new video is up!

Would you keep bargaining or just walk away?

🍑 A lot of people are surprised by how HUGE the peaches are in Beijing — and how many different kinds there are!

Yes, peaches are actually one of Beijing’s local fruits, and there are more than 300 varieties grown here.

So I went to Beijing’s peach country to pick peaches with a local farmer, see how they sell them across China, and find out how much peach farmers actually make.

This one really surprised me. 👀 New video is up!

🤖 If robots had their own Olympics, which event would you MOST want to watch?

I just watched all of these in Beijing… and some were way more entertaining than I expected 😂https://youtu.be/kYOyiF4cKvw?is=ijZcU...
