The longer I walked on the road, the more and more I longed for a peaceful and natural pastoral life. Hidden in the mountains of Yanqing, Beijing, I met all the things I liked. The spacious courtyard houses, the simple and lively design style, and the warm sun shone on the sheets, the air exuded the fragrance of vegetation. Sitting in the small courtyard, the feet of time moved in front of me inch by inch, and time stopped here.

I don't know if I have been facing the myriad things in my life for a long time, and I always want to have a quiet place, let go of my restlessness, and allow myself a relaxed and leisurely time. I met three or two friends. All the way north, we came to Yanqing, a suburb of Beijing. Through the winding mountain roads, our distance is the quiet peach blossom garden deep in the mountains.

Walking into Yaoguanling Village, Yanqing, it is an original and simple village. The simple red brick houses have always stood tall and straight through the vicissitudes of the years. In the villages deep in the mountains, people maintain a leisurely pace of life. The village is quiet and simple, which is exactly the tranquility I like.

When the corn in the north is ripe, the farmers put the granary at their doorsteps and looked at the yellow corn and felt happy. A cat looked at me very calmly, with a half-squinting expression in the sun. It looked cute, this is probably the feeling of quiet years.

When I came to the dormitory, I pushed open the simple wooden door. The spacious and bright courtyard house was the feeling of home I liked. The trampoline in the courtyard was very suitable for bringing children. The courtyard house had a total of four rooms, three tatami mats and a large bed. The room, if four families came, it would be just right for family gatherings between good friends.

In the joint accommodation, each room has good lighting and a separate bathroom. The afterglow of the sunset shines in through the glass windows, casting warm light and shadow inside the room. This feeling of returning to nature makes people very fascinated.

Everyone has different perceptions about beauty. The room design of the shared accommodation conveys to us a pleasing comfort, because simplicity makes the space look more comfortable. The minimalist and beautiful aesthetics of life is fully exerted here.

Different B & Bs are designed with the personality characteristics of the owners. Although the accommodation is mainly simple and comfortable, an inadvertent small decoration is full of artistic sense and life interest. Each room is prepared for the family, whether it is mineral water or toiletries, there are enough for four people.

What surprised me the most when I came to Yanqing and chose to stay together this time was the large kitchen here. In the kitchen, I prepared the kitchen utensils and chopsticks needed for daily life, and went to the village to buy vegetables and meat, so that my family could eat it together. It's steaming hot pot.

The afternoon tea at the hotel has a simple taste of home. The apples in the mountains taste crispy and sweet. There are also homemade baked cakes, which are considerate and warm.

In early winter in Yanqing, when night falls, the outdoor temperature is already very low. At this time, good friends sit around, chatting about the past, eating hot pot, and having a glass of red wine. It is a good time in life.

In a prosperous city, I often want to find inner tranquility. At this moment, the room is warm and flowing. The warm lights make my mood slowly settle down and become quiet. The warm lights spread throughout the room. The peace of this moment gave me the warmth of hiking home. It was beautiful without saying anything. I felt calm and walked inward. The bed I slept together was filled with flowers and trees, exuding love for life and deep affection for nature.
