A Day In Beijing is an English podcast about Beijing, about China.
Our history. Our culture. Our stories. Told in English — but told by us.
I got tired of watching our 5,000 years of civilisation get reduced to 30-second TikToks by people who visited once.
Got tired of AI-generated travel guides speaking for us.
Got tired of the same lazy stereotypes being recycled as "China content."
So I thought — if we don't tell our own stories, who will?
Each episode digs into Beijing's history, traditions, and artistry.
Some walk you through landmarks like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall.
Others go deeper into the Beijing that most visitors never see.
A Day In Beijing also curates conscious travel experiences, we exclusively support independent local businesses and put money back into the community.
If you're curious how our city sounds when it's finally explained properly in English, come and listen or message me to join the podcast!
