🌟 **A perfect healing trip to the suburbs of Beijing! Live in the "slow life" in the mountains of Huairou** 🌟
Last weekend, I and my family found this treasure homestay near the Mutianyu Great Wall in Huairou, which completely exceeded our expectations! It takes 1.5 hours to drive directly from the city, the navigation is accurate, and the housekeeper sends parking instructions in advance, which is very friendly for self-driving tours.
🏡 **Homestay environment:**
I was amazed the moment I opened the wooden door! The courtyard is built on the mountain, and the design of white walls and gray tiles has both the simplicity of the northern courtyard and modern elements such as floor-to-ceiling windows and log furniture. There are swings, barbecue areas and starry sky terraces in the yard, and you can see the long-lost Milky Way at night! The "Mountain View Family Room" we stayed in was surrounded by windows on three sides. We were awakened by the sound of birds in the morning. When we opened the curtains, we saw the stacked green mountains, as if we were living in an ink painting.
🛏️ **Room details: **
The whole house is heated and the smart toilet makes the mountain living experience in late autumn not cold at all. The mattress is moderately soft and hard, and the bedding is made of soft cotton and linen. The most surprising thing is that the room is equipped with a high-definition projector and Bluetooth speakers. Watching an old movie in bed at night, the atmosphere is full! The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas, and the toiletries are from L'Occitane. Details control is ecstatic~
👩🍳 **Intimate service: **
The bosses are three big brothers, enthusiastic and talkative! Hearing that we brought our children, they specially prepared children's slippers and picture books. Breakfast is freshly cooked millet porridge + Huairou specialty oil cakes. For dinner, you can book stove fish or rainbow trout in advance (highly recommended! The fish is freshly caught and cooked). Before leaving, they also gave away chestnuts and persimmons grown at home, which is heartwarming!
🌿 **Nearby activities:**
- Walk for 10 minutes to the Mutianyu Great Wall cable car station, avoid the crowds and climb easily
- There is a private hiking route behind the B&B, and the red leaves are all over the mountains and fields, which is super shocking
- There are multiple orchards within 5 kilometers for picking (apples and pears are in season in autumn)
- Drive for 15 minutes to the Yanqi Lake cycling plank road, and the autumn scenery along the way is beautiful
Especially suitable for friends who want to escape from the city for a short time! We have planned to come back in winter to experience the fireside tea + private hot springs~ I heard that there will be a fireworks party on New Year's Eve, and I am ready to bring friends to watch it again! ✨
📌 **Tips**
- Pet-friendly! Communicate in advance if you bring furry children
- The temperature difference in the mountains in late autumn is large, so it is recommended to bring a thick coat
- Families/couples can choose different room types, and team building is more private
This kind of B&B is the right way to open a vacation in the suburbs of Beijing~ It has been added to my "healing list"! 🍂
