Yanqi lake day trip

We had a wonderful day trip to Yanqi lake. It took us less than 1.5 hours to drive there on a weekday. I have been wanting to go to the Sunrise Kempinski building for years as it looks so cool and I have seen it many times while driving past it. Finally I made it. It’s actually super nice to see it from the side that is pointing towards the lake. We enjoyed a buffet lunch at the Element restaurant of the second floor of the hotel. A variety of different foods to choose from. After spending some time at the hotel we rented bikes and did a bike tour around the area. Very professional bikes and the bike renters even provided us with two guides and a medical person as we came in a group of 30 people. After biking for about an hour or so we ended our trip at Yanqi hotel where we had dinner at the restaurant called lake palace. Amazing food and the hotel looks fantastic from what we saw of the views of the lake and amazing lobby area. Next time I would love to come here for an afternoon tea. #huairou #beijing #Yanqilake #biking

Yanqi resort 🏡

💁🏼‍♀️ If you are tired of crazy fast life of Beijing this place is a perfect choice. 📍 风车广场，Huairou district, Beijing city. 💰 I am not not sure about the price since I didn’t book. 🏃‍♀️ It also has a big field, you can take a walk or run or play. I saw children playing football. 🎢 No attractions nearby, no shops, very few restaurants. But it’s close to Yanqi river. You won’t be feeling bored but I think 2-3 days are enough. A well planned weekend is enough. 📸 @_ana_mee_ on Instagram #beijingtrip #huairou #chinalife #yanqi #summervacation

Summer Cooling | Let's go to the Yanqi Lake at night for a breeze

🌠Going out to play always brings rewards. Originally, besides the day trip to the life I longed for, I was recommended by the "Huairou people" in the mountain coffee shop to watch the moonlight at Yanqi Lake. · 🏙It has been cloudy and rainy weather recently, and waiting for it to clear up has become a daily expectation. Fortunately, it is easy to see a sea of clouds during cloudy and rainy weather. Sometimes in Beijing, I would remember the life in the south. During a business trip of more than a month, almost every day was dim and murky, and it was hard to tell whether it was day or night until noon. This also makes me sometimes miss this scenery in Beijing. I haven't been to the south for a long time, and I kind of miss it. · 🎑Sunset time: around 7:40 🎑I haven't played much around Yanqi Lake, maybe you have been there. The night view tour that was recommended is what the locals consider to be the authentic foodie walking route. · 🧭Navigation: GJ Judge Academy 📍Turn left at the intersection near Yanqi Lake 🚘If you drive, you can only park the car on the small road in front of the school and walk 200 meters. 📝Total length: 1Km 🚴In addition, you can also take: Circular cartoon ferry car✅ Bicycle rental✅ Play facilities✅ Enjoy dinner at Kempinski Hotel✅ 🌃The distant mountains are clearly visible, with a bit of mist shrouding them, as if reluctant to end the day. Gradually, half an hour later, the mist dissipated, officially entering the night. When dreams are buried in the misty rain of the south, I can still sing a few lines of Lin Junjie's 'Jiangnan', haha! · 🎆Perhaps it's after the rain, the earthy smell of rainwater is very strong, and the fragrance of grass permeates the entire trail. We were like children who had never seen the world, seeing the Bull Demon King's car playing music, with an old grandmother sitting on it, the seat was the kind of carousel that could go up and down, I will always remember the smile on her face, no matter what, I want to ride in a car when I'm old, also the kind that can bounce around. Later, there were fewer people on the trail, almost enough to have it to ourselves, and the big ball of the sunrise in the east began to light up, existing proudly at one end of Yanqi Lake. · ⛲️Walking quietly by the lake at night, life begins to subtract, and more people join the exercise of night running and night cycling, this kind of sweaty feeling is truly refreshing, the lake becomes calm, and the song on the phone just finished playing, the escape from the city trip seems crazy, but it makes people surprisingly calm. · ❤️Let's go and see the sunset in summer 🧡And then feel the evening breeze by the lake 💛Life should be beautiful and gentle 💙So should you.
