<p>Join Wanderlust Rosie as she ventures from Guangzhou to Beijing during a frosty January, trading airport transit for the cozy comfort of a Hampton by Hilton hotel room, complete with a robot butler. She starts her winter journey with a hotel breakfast featuring tang, then dives into the sprawling Shahi market, one of Beijing's largest and best. Here, she samples white fritters for just 50 cents and buys sugar cane, savoring these simple, local treats. Later, she discovers a small burger joint with craft beers, opts for hot chocolate, and stumbles upon a special cafe run by people with hearing disabilities, which she warmly supports.</p><p>A visit to Walmart reveals festive Chinese New Year decorations, though she finds the store layout a bit peculiar. Checking into a city-center apartment with a kitchenette, she separates from her travel companion to attend a Wing Chun class, which she booked for just 35 yuan on a local app. The class is engaging, but hunger leads her to a ramen shop where the portions are immense. A hot bath back at the apartment becomes her favorite cure for the cold. The next morning, she braves the freezing temperatures (around 7 AM) to explore a morning market, buying pork ribs for a soup she plans to cook later. Though early, she enjoys the quiet market atmosphere and a steamed bun that doubles as a hand warmer.</p><p>An afternoon at an Olympic Park deer park is a highlight; she feeds the goats and has her first snowy encounter of the trip, watching initially penned deer get released for free roaming. She then visits Asia's largest Sam's Club, spending around 1,000 yuan on groceries. The pinnacle of her adventure is a community cooking session in a common kitchen, where she prepares chicken curry and radish soup, even inviting hotel staff to join when planned guests don't show. She explores a Chinese New Year expo at an agricultural exhibition center and visits Shichahai, seeing a frozen lake with winter activities. Her Beijing stay ends with a visit to the popular store Miniso and a blind box purchase that disappointingly yields a bear figurine rather than her desired shark. She briefly passes through Chongqing, admiring the Liberation Monument and Hong Ya Dong (the Spirited Away-like structure), before concluding her travels.</p>
Join Wanderlust Rosie as she trades the warmth of Singapore for a frosty, fun-filled winter escape to Beijing and a whirlwind stop in Chongqing. From bustling local markets and a giant Sam's Club to a heartwarming Wing Chun class and even a stay in a hotel room with a robot butler, every moment is packed with authentic charm. Watch her brave the biting cold, cook in a common kitchen, and discover that even a surprise blind box bear can be the perfect souvenir.

The steamed bun that doubled as a hand warmer was my favorite because it warmed my hands and my stomach.
How much did you spend at Sam's Club?
I spent about 1000 yuan in total, which is definitely significant, but the cart was completely full.
What was the most surprising experience?
Definitely the Wing Chun class for just 35 yuan and the robot butler at the hotel. And the deer park where the deer eventually got to free roam.
What was the weather like in Beijing?
It was freezing cold, around 7 AM it was even below zero. My nose hurt and the market vegetables looked frozen.
