Who Am I and Why Am I Going to China?

✨ In this video, I’m sharing a bit more about me — the girl behind "Ingrid Goes to China."
Ever since I was little, I’ve been drawn to the things that weren’t mainstream — the unique, the different, the unexpected. This video is about how that curiosity shaped who I am today, and how it eventually led me to something I never thought I’d do: travel to China.

If you're someone who loves taking the unconventional path or you're just curious about why someone would suddenly pack up and go explore a whole new culture — this one’s for you. 💬

💌 Let me know in the comments — what’s the most unexpected path you’ve taken in life?

"As a Chinese person born in Taiwan, I'm delighted that you've developed an appreciation for Chinese language and culture. With nearly 5, 000 years of civilization and history, I believe this trip to mainland China will offer you profoundly new perspectives. I sincerely hope you'll fall in love with this land during your journey."

In today's world, all the smartest and brightest will realize China IS THE PLACE TO BE.

it looks like every thoughts you have are random, but when everything connect together they all make sense. You are curious, and seeking the truth. All the best for your trip to china

[Yujie-ebds]

Believe me, you won’t be disappointed. Welcome to China❤!

[ChicagoTurtle]

I used to think China was an inferior nation and didn’t like the people…. Until I started reading about China. My political views on America and Japan changed as I learned. And now I think China’s political history is epic.

My wife is American and I'm Chinese. We've been live in the us for 5 years now. We are moving back this summer(chengdu) Can't wait.

Ingrid, I envy you for having such a colorful life, as a Chinese, I started to follow you because of your upcoming trip to China, but after watching this video, I want to know more about your previous story.I hope you can share it later. And I agree with you that to understand a country, you have to have been there at least, so I hope you have a great trip to China!

Welcome to China and thank you for your willingness to understand China.Some western media definitely smear China, so there are so many people in western countries who misunderstand China. I hope they can watch your videos to understand the real China. We welcome friendly people from all countries to China.

So wonderful to see a young person with such self-awareness and critical thinking skills. Enjoy your visit to China. I am going there in a few days. Looking forward to seeing your adventures there.

You're way cooler than I thought. Have a blast on your China adventures.

We should truly be grateful that TikTok isn't dominated by Western interests. It has shattered countless misconceptions Westerners held due to their media's misinformation. Go boldly and explore - you'll discover 'China is living in the future, ' as many Westerners who've visited China have remarked

Welcome to China for your journey! The Chinese people are incredibly warm and hospitable. Your trip here will surely lead you to make many like-minded friends.

[Jenna-ml]

It’s so cool that you were a pro wrestler! You have had a really interesting life that is genuine to you. A lot of people just follow what is mainstream or popular, even if it’s not what is actually interesting to them in their heart.

[michaelpang]

Truly & really blown away by your adventures in life, China is your destiny now🎉

[xinjieduan]

Welcome! I am Chinese lived in Nordic (Finland) for 7 years, and 3 years in the UK, and now I am settled down here in Shanghai.
Completely understand what you said in the video, asI have many Finnish/European friends know so little about China even after I sharing so much info with them -- if they have never been to China. Same as for myself -- even though I lived in Finland for such a long time, I do not spead Finnish, so it's extrely hard for me to merge to the Finnish culture and thinking from their perpective.
Happy to know you are landing in Shanghai soon, and happy to help if you need anything. (also happy to share my experence in Europe as a Chinese if you are intrested)

[DarciaSidTV]

China is truly THE East. Full of culture ! Fascinating.

[fufu]

Me and my sis absolutely adore US singer songwriter Sasha Sloan. She's currently doing a tour in China and we were just there at one of her shows. It was the best

[verygood]

Wow, you are no ordinary western lady! No country is perfect! But my close Canadian white friend always has a negative impression of China from western media. I told her that the people I know they are very grateful to be living in China and that they appreciate their government! She said, 'They are all totally brainwashed and manipulated.' I was speechless.

[hondajacka]

Enjoy your time in China! Can’t wait to hear all about it from your perspective.
