The footage was initially published in April by the toddler’s mother, who lives in Beijing, before being shared by a domestic camera producer on Instagram, as reported by the Shenzhen-based news portal Dute News.

What sets this clip apart from many others showcasing children’s daily activities is its unique angle, achieved with a mini-sized action camera attached to the brim of the girl’s hat.

Many viewers refer to this perspective as a mosquito’s-eye view since the child’s eyes occupy a significant portion of the screen.
