In the 11th episode of the 120th season of House Hunters International, viewers get a glimpse into the lives of a couple who have decided to move to Beijing, China in order to give back to the community. The couple, both in their early 30s, have successful careers in the United States but have been looking for a way to make a positive impact on the world. After much research, they decide that moving to Beijing to work with underprivileged children is the perfect opportunity.
The episode follows the couple as they search for the perfect home in Beijing. They have a long list of requirements, including being close to the center of the city, having plenty of space for the children they plan to work with, and of course, being within their budget. They are also looking for a home that is environmentally friendly and has a low carbon footprint.
The couple works with a local real estate agent who is familiar with the area and the specific needs of the couple. The first home they visit is a modern apartment located in one of Beijing's bustling neighborhoods. While the apartment has plenty of space, the couple is disappointed to learn that the building is not environmentally friendly and has a high carbon footprint. They ultimately decide to keep looking.
The next home they visit is a restored traditional Chinese courtyard house located in the heart of Beijing. The couple falls in love with the traditional architecture and the large courtyard space, which would be perfect for hosting community events for the children they plan to work with. However, the couple soon realizes that the home would require major renovations, including updating the plumbing and electricity. They decide that the cost of the renovations would be too high and move on to the next option.
The third home they visit is a modern apartment that also happens to be environmentally friendly. The apartment is located in a quieter neighborhood but still close to the center of the city. The couple loves the apartment's green features, which include a ventilation system that uses natural air flow, solar panels, and a water filtration system. They also appreciate the apartment's large windows, which offer stunning views of the city. They ultimately decide that this is the perfect home for them, and after some negotiation, they are able to come to a deal with the seller.
Throughout the episode, viewers also get a glimpse into the couple's work with the children in Beijing. They visit a local orphanage and begin building relationships with the children there. They also host a community event in their new home, inviting local families and children to come learn about environmental sustainability and celebrate the Chinese New Year.
