This place is probably a paradise around Beijing

After staying in the city for a long time, it's really easy to fall into a state of physical and mental fatigue and spiritual numbness. I always think about escaping the hustle and bustle of the city and going to a secluded place with winding paths and no one around, even if it's just for a few minutes. I usually have the habit of driving to the suburbs of Beijing on weekends to find a homestay to relax. This time, I did some research and found a paradise called 'Backyard'. This homestay is in the village of Liushigang, which is located on Qipan Mountain. The location is really hidden, but the road is not difficult to drive. It was already evening when I arrived, and it was raining. As soon as I got out of the car, the housekeeper came to pick me up, which was very considerate. When I walked into the courtyard of the homestay, I took a deep breath in place. It had been a long time since I smelled such air, which is completely absent in the city. The next day, it was still drizzling here, with a misty atmosphere outside. The distant mountains were also turned into a cloud of blue smoke by the mist, which was very dreamy. Dining here, drinking tea in the room and courtyard, watching the mountains and listening to the rain, everything was very satisfying. It felt like I was really in a fairyland at that moment, wanting to stay here longer. I recommend it to those city workers like me who want to integrate with nature. 📍: No. 197, Liucun Town, Changping District 🚘: I drove 1.5 hours from East Third Ring Road on the weekend, via Jingzang Expressway + Jingli Expressway. There is a parking lot outside the homestay. 🏡: The homestay has an independent courtyard, not too big, with a swimming pool, lawn, and some outdoor leisure bar tables and chairs. The house is a two-story small building with a modern minimalist style. There are many types of rooms. This time, I stayed in two types of rooms, one is the Four Seasons Private Hot Spring Room, and the other is the Mountain View Suite. Different room types have different views, which greatly satisfied my accommodation needs. The facilities are complete, with an independent hot spring pool, a capsule coffee machine, imported natural mineral water, and tea and tea sets. Very ceremonial. 🍱: The meals here are set meals that need to be booked one day in advance. There is a Chinese-style lamb spine pot and a more Western-style pasta and fried food set meal, which can meet the needs of the whole family. The taste is good and the portions are sufficient. Breakfast is included, with Chinese-style breakfast, nutritious and delicious. If it's not enough, you can tell the housekeeper. I especially recommend having breakfast in the courtyard, it's simply too pleasant. 🤵🏻: This is a butler-style service. The staff are very nice, professional, and enthusiastic. They think of everything for you and are very simple. One morning, the staff picked dates nearby and actively gave us fruit to eat, which was so enthusiastic that it was impossible to refuse! 📷: For taking photos, I think the courtyard is very photogenic. Unfortunately, it was rainy during the two days I stayed. If there was sunshine, the saturation and sharpness would be higher and the photos would be better. The room is also good for taking photos. I recommend taking photos with the mountain view outside the window, it's simply too fairy-like!
