At the end of June, the scorching heat of midsummer had officially taken over the entire city of Beijing. Due to the impact of the epidemic, it was not possible to go to the seaside to escape the heat. I thought of this cool Yanqing, known as the "summer capital," and coincidentally met this "free spirited car themed homestay!"! 800 meters away from the homestay is Longqing Gorge, which takes a 3-minute walk to the forest wetland. Next to it is an amusement park, Pingbei Hero Memorial Hall, and a farmhouse picking garden. On the way back to Beijing, we also visited Yudu Mountain and Guya Residence. These 2-day and 1-night summer escape strategies should not be too beautiful~





The Jingli Expressway runs through Beijing with unobstructed traffic. We, a group of 14 big and 3 small residents, live in a 5-bedroom independent small courtyard and 2 single rooms. The biggest advantage of this project is that there are several places to play within a radius of one kilometer, which can be easily reached by walking; The second major feature is his super luxurious Watt seafood steamer banquet and the signature cuisine of the chef~Recommended!



01 Small Forest Wetland: Green Creek Walk, Take Photos and Check In

A 5-minute walk from the homestay is an open forest wetland. Here, streams and pools are everywhere, and just pick up a stone from the water and you can see the little snail sucking on it; Looking up, those tall and short trees have been growing for an unknown amount of time, so thick that one cannot hold them! Countless wild apricots and grapes along the roadside, and green fruits are also striving to grow



The sunlight is finely screened by the branches, jumping on pedestrians, babbling water, and wildflowers on the roadside. Whether walking, picking flowers, playing in the water, or having picnics, every shot is a forest style blockbuster!


02 Longqing Gorge: The mountains and rivers are all jade, allowing for summer vacation and leisure activities

The homestay is only 800 meters north and a 10 minute walk away from the Longqing Gorge Scenic Area, where the mountains are in the water and the caves are in the mountains!




Not long after entering the scenic area, you can see the giant dragon hovering on the mountain wall. Starting from the Longkou, there are elevators for tourists to climb up. Once you enter Longqing Gorge, you must take a boat tour. A cold emerald green lake, winding mountain scenery, and ripples echoing between the boat and the mountain walls make it perfect to say, "The willows are hidden, the flowers are bright, and there is another village.".



In addition to boats, there are also cable cars, bungee jumping, and slides in the scenic area, all of which run through the green mountains and clear waters, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Yanqing! On the return journey, you will pass by the Hundred Flowers Cave dug in the mountains. As it is a cave carved through the mountain, the cave constantly emits a cold and cool mountain atmosphere, and the dryness and heat all over your body instantly dissipate!



03 Pingbei Anti Japanese War Memorial Hall: Commemorating the Revolution and paying tribute to the Martyrs

The homestay is 5 minutes' walk to the south. It is not a landscape. When I was a child, a solemn and solemn red education base - Pingbei Anti Japanese War Memorial Hall. In the park, the White Marble tablet is inlaid with natural granite in the shape of rifle bayonet, meaning to defend Pingbei.


The tall and solemn monument stands at the highest point of the park, which is awe inspiring. The indoor exhibition hall also displays nearly 200 cultural relics such as weapons and daily necessities used at that time, reproducing the battle scenes of the past. The Free Travel Homestay offers free Eight Route Military uniforms, allowing you to embark on a solemn red journey.


The road outside the homestay looks very beautiful when photographed, with dense locust trees on both sides and relatively few pedestrians and vehicles on the road, making it suitable for taking photos and taking photos. Moreover, both sides are farmhouses for picking and raising poultry and livestock. The villagers also grow apricots, plums, apples, and some common vegetables that can be picked or purchased.



04 Guichuan Carnival: More than 30 types of amusement, satisfying adults' childlike spirit

Looking from the terrace of the homestay to the left is Longqing Gorge, and looking from the right, the Guichuan Carnival is also within reach! Luxury double decker carousels, jumping machines, pirate ships There are over 30 types of amusement equipment that adults also love!



On the way back, we specifically drove and went to visit Yudu Mountain and Gu Yaju. Yudu Mountain is located at the foot of Haituo Mountain and upstream of Longqing Gorge. It is situated deep in the mountains and is a little-known virgin land in the Beijing area. It is the most primitive green memory preserved by nature, suitable for fishing and camping in tents.


And ancient cliff dwellings are caves carved by ancient ancestors on steep rock walls, and are one of the largest ancient cave settlement sites in China. At first glance, it is so stunning that we often marvel at the wisdom and diligence of our ancestors that they created buildings like the Great Wall, cliff dwellings, and caves!


Yanqing also has a place suitable for check-in - the World Horticultural Exhibition, which remains a popular check-in spot even after its grand opening in 2019! The 360 ° boundless flower sea in the current horticultural town is in full bloom; Yongning Pavilion and Botanical Museum still welcome tourists; On the second floor of the Botanical Museum, CITIC Bookstore has over 2000 natural books and a rich and interesting collection of cultural and creative works, which is worth a visit., And you can see Yongning Pavilion from the terrace; Sitting on the sightseeing bus in the scenic area, you can also take a break by the Gui River for sightseeing.



Due to time constraints, I was unable to visit the World Horticultural Exposition in great detail. If there is more time in the future, I can also visit Yongning Ancient Town and the Wild Duck Lake Wetland Park, which can be reached within half an hour.

After talking about visiting the surrounding areas, we have to go back to the center of these scenic spots, which is also our homestay - a theme homestay with a free and comfortable car!

Surrounded by the Guishui River, it can truly be called the "Shanshui Family" of the Qingliang School.



The receptionist said that the homestay owner, who enjoys traveling freely, has been associated with cars for 20 years. Because they love driving cars and advocate freedom, they have created this homestay with car elements, which have become a unique symbol of traveling freely.

As the car slowly drove into the yard, the containerized main building caught the eye first, and the steam locomotive shaped gatehouse made people instantly travel through time and space. There are tire flower beds and car parts on the road, and the most regrettable thing is the Guinness record breaking 6.2 meter giant copper wire tire in the courtyard!




Due to its vast area, the homestay is divided into two separate courtyards and a hotel type main building, with five courtyards. The main building has three floors but is equipped with an elevator. In addition, the three floors can sing karaoke, hold meetings, and serve as a multifunctional lounge bar, allowing for easy switching between meetings and lounges!

All guests who check in must first go to the front desk on the first floor of the main building to check in. The red retro front end is really eye-catching, and the headlights can light up and the flute can sound, which is very cool. On both sides of the corridor, there is a visual view of a smooth road, and the room number also adopts a license plate design, which is unique!


We chose the largest 5-bedroom courtyard - Smart Home. When we made the reservation, we heard that it was the largest in the courtyard, occupying 426 square meters. The biggest feature of the yard is an open-air pool, which is over 3 meters long and wide, and less than 1 meter high. Children don't have to worry about drowning danger when playing with water.



Next to the pool is a Japanese style pavilion. If you want to take photos and check in, you can also wrap a veil around the top layer, which will be very romantic. In the refreshing mountain breeze, two or three people sat in Putuan, drinking tea and drinking wine, carefree like immortals.


There are 4 large bed rooms and 1 loft tatami room in the courtyard, with loft leisure shared space. The most distinctive feature is this themed round bed room, with a large round bed with a diameter of 2m partially covered by screens and plum blossoms. A large circular bathtub is located next to it, and the lotus leaves on the ground are also designed to be realistic, creating a small romantic feeling of returning home after stepping on a lotus




The other three king size rooms, ranging from elegant curtains to elegant rules, can accommodate two large and one small beds with a 1.8-meter king size. Attic tatami, two beds can be divided and assembled very flexibly.





Below the attic is a large shared space, with a sunken platform that can accommodate up to ten people for a sit around game. On the other side of the long table, there are mahjong and tea making machines for a variety of leisure activities, making it perfect for relaxation.





The remaining four people chose a luxury suite and a standard room. In addition, they also have a king size room, a parent-child suite, and a family suite. The only luxury suite in the main building, designed with a minimalist British style as the main theme, features a soft European style sofa, Mizi flag leisure leather chairs, well cut carpets, and a leather box style coffee table in the living room, perfectly blending with a gentlemanly demeanor.




Double bed standard room, featuring an industrial style, black chandelier, vintage car photos, and dark gray walls complement each other, creating a classic yet fashionable atmosphere. The soft white duck down cotton bedding, with a bed width of 1.3m and relatively independent, provides guests and friends with a better sleep experience.



Each type of room not only has differences in bed shape and area, but also pays attention to details. Customized coffee tables with Guishui River as the design, tissue boxes in the shape of cars, various model car decorations, and European style decorative lights Every place is telling the emotions of the people towards Yanqing and the automotive industry.



The bathroom adopts a dry wet separation design, completely separating washing, bathing, and the bathroom. When in use, it can achieve non-interference and be more convenient.


The multifunctional hall on the third floor of the main building has a bright and spacious space. During meetings, it is a conference hall with over a hundred tables, chairs, and complete projection screens; During leisure, turning around becomes a KTV with flickering lights and excellent sound; And the room is equipped with a small bar, high chairs, and a unique atmosphere for chatting amidst slightly tipsy red wine.




Stepping out of the conference room, there are two outdoor leisure areas on each side. The sky is blue and the clouds are light, surrounded by green shade. When the breeze blows, the whole person becomes relaxed and relaxed. Looking up, you can see the "Little Li River outside the Great Wall" Longqing Gorge.


Dining is a must-have for gatherings. In the car themed restaurant of the homestay, there is a public restaurant on the first floor that can accommodate a hundred people, with four private rooms; The second floor is a larger rooftop terrace, which is the best place for barbecue and gaming.



The saying goes, "Five flavors and mixed salt are the top priority, and five grains are the best for health steaming." The biggest feature of free and easy to eat cuisine is undoubtedly the "Watt Health Steaming Pot Banquet"! Two super large steamers can simultaneously make a special health preserving steamed banquet for hundreds of people. Just when I arrived, I caught up with the team building and caught a glimpse of such luxurious cuisine!




We order separately and combine local culinary techniques to create a unique fusion dish. Handmade Longqingxia Spring Water Tofu, fresh, tender and full; The wonderful double steaming with papaya shreds and potato shreds as the main ingredients, with salty, fragrant, and dense sauce upon entry; Gear meat patty, taking a bite to leave a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth; There are also hotpot Yangfang, Yipinta shell spicy Shrimp balls balls, pheasant stewed with wild mushrooms




Not to mention the delicious food, color, aroma, and taste, the utensils are also dazzling. The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, the cool trucks, and the exquisite license plate plates are all in full bloom Every dish is accompanied by a group of people's amazement.


The buffet breakfast in the morning, from coarse grains to fruits, from milk and rice porridge to steamed buns and side dishes, is complete in style, making the day beautiful from the beginning~



In addition, his family also has four private rooms, ranging from exquisite Western style to elegant Chinese style. Whether it's vegetarian dining for oneself, or family and friends for banquets, each room is filled with leisure and privacy.



The terrace on the second floor of the restaurant is the peak time for barbecue at sunset in the afternoon! A small oven and a large oven can meet the needs of various types of meat skewers, lamb chops, and seafood. In the summer night, the stars are all over the sky. Cheers to your left hand and strip the skewers to your right hand. Let's talk and laugh under the stars and forget the noisy troubles of urban life.



The second floor terrace has a huge space, and the homestay is also equipped with various leisure games such as table football, table tennis, and billiards. You can leisurely pass the time with three to five friends in an afternoon.



If there are many people, there will be half playing and half satisfying watermelon eating competitions, cool and intense water gun battles, speed driven tire rolling, and iron ring relay races It can only be said that as long as you want it, the area of this venue can be met!


The small gathering of 2 days and 1 night came to an end like this. Although we can't leave Beijing, the scenery in the suburbs is also very pleasing to our hearts! The children haven't gone to school for too long, it's rare to see their peers, and they have returned to nature and played very happily! It's also great to rent a small courtyard and stay for two days with my family after a while!
