Welcome to my Beijing tiny house!

“It’s not how big the house is, it’s how happy the home is.”
Can’t wait to see what inspirations this cozy and warm place will give you! :D

That's a really nice little apt with all the necessary modern conveniences. I've been told that heated floors are the best type of heating. No need for noisy, inefficient, and allergy producing heated air systems. The heat rises naturally and silently from the floor, so you no longer have to deal with a warm upper body and freezing feet.

I moved to Beijing from U.K. 6 months ago... I love your videos, they make me feel excited for the future and they remind me of how lucky I am to be living in Beijing.. hope to see you in town one day! lol thank you for the great content.

I remember the first time when I have my tiny room in Europe, as a Chinese. When I arrive that beautiful old town Leiden, I was immediately in love with it. It’s very fun to see you so excited in Beijing old center, just like me in Europe. That’s what they say about traveling: Traveling is to leave a place that you are tired of to somewhere that others are tired of.
Or I can also say: traveling is to go to somewhere where you are excited to be from somewhere where others are excited to be.

Absolutely a warm and cozy home. Hope you'll discover more interesting things about Beijing's Hutong life.

I've heard that one of the inconveniences to live in Hutong is to use public toilet in the winter night. Wonderful to know that you have a private toilet. You can pour a big bottle of bleach into the drain and don't use it for about 10 hours, the smell will disappear. I learnt this trick from others and it works. Good luck!

Looks gorgeous and gives me nostalgia from when I lived in Beijing.

It feels like a life switch. I am living next to Amy's suburb in Sydney, and Amy is living in my childhood memory

Enjoy your new "tiny home", love how they kept the old beams in the renovation. Love that stone rubbing too!

[endofyraaaaryfodne]

As a carpenter's daughter, I am IN LOVE with the original wooden beams! Those things are sturdy as heck and will probably outlast us all.

Wonderful. We visited In an ancient world hutong in Beijing (tour group from OZ) we were entertained to lunch n culture and lifestyle. What impressed me most was that the one son had the bedroom with all the study gear and
Parents bed was in the lounge! I love China and enjoy your new home

Love the new place you found to live in. Thanks for making these videos each week.

Try pouring some vinegar and then hot water into all of the sewer/sink. Also, sometimes the smell is because their is no water in the slightly U shaped pipeline. Try keep them wet by pouring water into all of them, which sometimes can block the smell from other sewage feeding back up from your sink.

Finally, you found your own place in China after so many months! Congratulations, the apartment looks great. If I were ever to move to Beijing, this would be something I'll totally go for!

I really really miss Hutong, I was born in Dongsi in Dongcheng District in Beijing, where I grew up in was a small house in a narrow Hutong. I would say young people couldn't survive there today but all my good memories are from there in my Hutong, I can't forget the time that I went to the nearby parks in all four seasons with my parents, or together with my friends we just rode bikes through those Hutongs to the famous Sanlian bookstore. The old Beijing has faded away, replaced by a modern new big city, only your video today has brought me back to old Dongsi again from Hobart.

Amy, you are one of the most optimistic and vibrant fair dinkum Aussie I’ve ever met. You exude tremendous positive energy, really positively affect all who views your postings. Nothing seems to faze you. Looks like your tiger year is off to a roaring start. Looking forward for more reporting from a not so stranger in a not so strange land. Cheers to you mate😘❗️👍🇦🇺

[kateyb]

Far out Amy, you are living the dream!! 👏
if my family and I (fellow Aussies) make it over when the visa situation finally improves, (& end up teaching in Beijing) we sooo want to meet up with you for coffee! you’d be the best guide! haha

[josechong]

That's wonderful Amy... I am not sure when you got your new place but you are posting it on the 7th of the new year of the Tiger, so yeah, new year, new place... simply amazing...

China’s history and culture is so rich 😌 I’m considering moving to China, thanks to your videos!
