On Children's Day this year, my best friend and I made an appointment. The two families, four adults and two children, went to Club Med Joyview Beijing Yanqing Resort for three days and two nights. I still remember when I was a child, my parents would only take me to the amusement park for a whole day on June 1. At that time, I really hoped that every day would be Children's Day. When I became a mother, I realized that this luxurious wish back then, as long as I chose the right hotel, I could really make every day feel like a festival ~

In fact, this is not the first time I have stayed in Club Med. The tropical Sanya Club Med and the blue sea and blue sky Beidaihe Club Med Joyview make me very fond of this island Girl. (If you are interested, you can review my previous travel notes.) Most importantly, Club Med's all-inclusive rich content and G.O.'s unique service quality are very suitable for families with children. Last year, I heard that Yanqing also opened Club Med Joyview, so I always wanted to play. Before I came here, I thought that there was no beach, so I would almost feel it, but I didn't expect the experience in the Yanqing Mountains to be beyond imagination.

People often say that my best friend and I are very similar. Look at the two children, do they look like twins ~

At dawn, stroll through the green mountains and fields like a peach garden outside the world
During the drizzle, immerse yourself in the game world of the mini club
When the breeze blows your face, wander in the childlike paradise of the outdoor playground
When the sky is full of light, you are immersed in the poetic church shrouded in the mist of mountains
As it says on the resort wall, excitement is just enjoying every second of the holiday

Our two families booked a superior twin room for two nights. We checked in on Friday and checked out on Sunday. When booking the room, I insisted on two nights. Summer's father complained that it would be too boring to stay in the same hotel for three days. As a result, haha, there was a slap in the face. He was the one who couldn't bear to leave on the last day like a child ~

Club Med Joyview Beijing Yanqing Resort has a total of 307 rooms. I originally heard that the hotel was full on the Saturday before Children's Day. I was worried that there would be too many people and affect the experience. I really thought too much, because the hotel covers an area of about 5500 acres, which is equivalent to the size of 511 football fields! Shocked, I was also amazed. Because the space is open enough and the play venues are many and large, even when the room is full, the people are still relatively scattered.

although

It is already a post-epidemic period, and Club Med Joyview Beijing Yanqing Resort's various protective measures are still very comprehensive. Very detailed information will also be filled in when check-in, which makes people feel at ease. G.O. put on a one-price all-inclusive green bracelet for us, so that we could run amok in the resort.

Club Med's products have always been very guaranteed, and the rooms here in Yanqing are also simple and elegant. The main colors are raw wood and pure white, dotted with bright lemon yellow, making people feel like they are on vacation as soon as they enter the room.

For families with young babies, of course, the queen bed room is the most convenient. But when we booked the room, we only had a twin room. Fortunately, we could get extra beds for free. This time, I also discovered that Summer, who was less than 4 years old, could already sleep in her own cot. As an old mother, I am really gratified and reluctant. I am gratified that my child can gradually become independent, but I feel a little disappointed when I think that I can no longer hold the soft little baby at night.

It is also very close to the room of my best friend's house. The two children often visit each other, saying "your home" and "my home" on their lips. It would be great if our families really lived so close ~

The main body of the hotel has a bit of a French winery. If you look closely at the LOGO of this resort, you will find that surrounded by mountains and wineries are the characteristics of this place. The park where the resort is located has an area of 660 acres of vineyards and a winery. It also houses a variety of home-brewed wines. If you are interested, you can also learn red wine tasting courses from professionals.

Before playing with the children, of course, we two moms need to have fun taking pictures. After three days and two nights of visiting the spots, I have already gotten the best photo spots ~

1. In front of the hotel lobby

Walking through the fountain and standing in front of the hotel LOGO, be sure to take a photo. Behind you are French buildings with symmetrical structures, as well as blue skies, white clouds and lawns. The vacation feel is coming soon ~

2. Passing through the corridor on the first floor of the hotel, you can go to the "Fun Park" on the second floor. The interior of the corridor made of glass curtain walls and white skeletons makes it easy to stand on the colored floor, and it is also a good place to take photos.

3. There is a pattern made of colored stones under the corridor, which is very childlike and very suitable for children to take photos here.

4. On the lawn of the outdoor playground, the brick-red mini windmill stands quietly surrounded by undulating mountains. The clouds on that day are like the sky in Xin Haicheng's movies and scenes in comics. Really, you can shoot anywhere you want here, it's too showy.

5. Next to the lawn of the outdoor playground, the extended road seems to lead to endless distance, giving people a sense of comfort away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This lawn is also a good place to GET family portraits.

At Club Med Joyview Beijing Yanqing Resort, my favorite place is the church-style building under the mountains. The triangular shape, wooden structure and hollow design are fully integrated with the environment. Through the cross, the changes in the sky, clouds, and the color of the forest in the mountains make the church less mysterious of religion and more sacred of all things in nature. The impact of this light change on the church even reminds me of Tadao Ando's Church of Light.

In the evening, follow the winding red path and slowly walk towards the church. Breathing in the fresh air of Yanqing, gazing at the mountains in the distance, listening attentively to the singing of birds and insects, the laughter of children playing in the playground in the distance, and the feeling of quiet years. This is probably the case.

There is also a small shop called "Miss Meow" next to the church. A giant tree casts mottled light and shadow on the wooden floor. In such an environment, the family has a drink together and enjoys a good time. Just picturing this picture feels exciting.

At Club Med, the many parent-child fun projects covered by one price are of course the highlights of our stay here! Not only the two children, but also the four older children had fun and couldn't miss home. The recreational activities of Yanqing Resort are mainly divided into indoor and outdoor, with most indoor activities concentrated in this two-floor "fun playground".

In the mini club, there are different themed activities every day to make the baby's life full and meaningful. Sponge pool, mini trampoline, ocean ball pool and slide, mini castle... all kinds of entertainment facilities are available. There is also a kitchen classroom where you can experience home cooking classes, which needs to be notified by the hotel. Summer also played an interesting card game with her brothers and sisters, under the guidance of her eldest sister G.O.

The first floor is a water park and sports hall that the whole family can enjoy. Unfortunately, during the epidemic, this part was temporarily closed. But we simply visited it, and the more we looked, the more we wanted to play. However, Beijing has now downgraded its Incident Response Service to Level 3 and believes that these two major facilities will soon resume opening. We will come again for the water park and sports hall.

The indoor children's playground on the second floor is the world of children! According to the introduction, this is the largest children's playground in Club Med Resort in Asia. It is divided into three parts: family fun space, mini club, and kitchen classroom. It's really not enough to play for a whole day ~

There are many high-tech interactive games in the game factory, including interactive beaches, interactive football... The two children's favorite is the interactive ocean ball. Use the ocean ball as a "weapon" to show off your skills in games that project screens on the wall. Entertainment, whacking a mole, Tetris... these games are more enjoyable than playing on a small screen ~

? Family fun space? It can be used for free by both early morning guests and all-inclusive guests. It is more suitable for children under the age of 4. The game wall, baby climbing area, role-playing area... all kinds of game facilities are impossible for people to play.

In the Conservatory of Music, there are many interesting music interactive facilities ~ piano keys that can be stepped on to set the rhythm, small drum round tables that can be performed together, various percussion instruments... To be honest, adults also find it very fun ~

In fact, except for the rain on Saturday, we played in the indoor playground for most of the day. More often, I prefer to take my children to play in outdoor playgrounds, or I prefer them to bathe in the sun, blow the gentle wind of early summer, and feel the gifts of nature. Especially during the epidemic, I was suffocated at home, and I couldn't get excited when I came out.

I love the outdoor playground of Club Med Joyview Beijing Yanqing Resort. It is vast, green mountains and green grass, and the environment is so comfortable. What children love most is this set of outdoor rides, large and small slides, climbing frames, swings... It is another (semi) liberated parents and a holy place to spend time.

My fathers 'favorite ball sports are also very diverse here ~ outdoor basketball courts, outdoor football courts, tennis courts, table tennis courts, archery courts ~ Except for the archery courts, which can only be enjoyed by guests at a all-inclusive price, the rest are all available in the room. You can use it early. This is the first time we are shooting arrows in our lives, and the results are reasonable ~

Basketball is Summer's father's strong point. Look at the youthful faces of the children ~

It's rare to play football on a real "green" field ~

The little baby is almost 4 years old, but the hula hoop is still a little difficult to Hold ~

At eight o'clock in the evening every day, performances with different themes will be staged on the stage on the first floor of the "Fun Club". The theme of Friday night was Chinese style, lion dance, Tai Chi, and acrobatics, and the children watched it with gusto.
After the performance ended, the children in the audience were called onto the stage and danced with the actors 'movements.

It wasn't enough for the children to cheer up. Dance teachers and enthusiastic fitness teachers from Hawaii led the audience to rhythm ~ the scene was so high that it exploded!

After the exercise, order an exquisite cocktail at the Yi Bar next to you and sit and watch the children continue to play ~ After returning to the room, Summer almost fell on the cot and fell asleep for a second. haha

The performance on Saturday night was specifically for Children's Day, and the actors were all replaced by young guests who stayed at the hotel that day. The performances are grouped by age and gender, with Summer being the youngest group. After the afternoon celebration, there will be a small rehearsal. After the groups are divided, the G.O., who is responsible for guiding each group, will lead the children to dance once.

Speaking of which, this should be Summer's first formal stage performance in his life. The hotel really put great care into it, and there was also formal makeup and hair after the rehearsal. Especially little girls, many of them are probably wearing stage makeup for the first time in their lives.

Probably all parents, like their children, did not expect to come for a vacation and celebrate the festival and actually participated in a performance on stage! Summer is not even 4 years old, and his team is the first group to perform. It is really in a lot of trouble, haha. There was also a little boy who cried until the end. It was not easy to follow the G.O below the stage while crying ~

I would like to commend Summer children here. After changing clothes, the children will leave their parents and wait backstage with the actors in the same group. In fact, we are also very worried about whether he will have an emotional breakdown after his parents suddenly left. As a result, he surprised us all and not only waited happily until he came on stage. After taking the stage, I also followed G.O. very seriously. Because I only rehearsed it once, I couldn't keep up at first, but then I gradually got better. I heard people around me praising summer on the stage and saying that this young man is really good ~ the old mother almost burst into tears of emotion.

As the children in other groups get older, their stage performance is getting better and better. Especially for this group of girls who danced Wang Xinling's "Love You", it's really hard to believe that they only rehearsed once ~

Rather than having fun and enjoying it, perhaps working hard to perform on stage and breaking through your various "firsts" are the best Children's Day gifts ~

play| A lively Children's Day celebration

I chose this time because I wanted to celebrate a ceremonial Children's Day for the children in the atmosphere of Club Med. At 3 p.m. on Saturday, the Children's Day celebration officially began. Although the event venue was moved from the outdoors to the first floor of the playground due to the bad weather, the lively atmosphere was not affected at all.

During the parent-child DIY session, the two children completed the masking mask of bling with (mostly) help from their mother. The children completed the painting, and the mothers helped put on the shiny gem stickers. I feel that my mother actually enjoys it more ~ Parent-child activities are easy for adults to regain their innocence ~

Various inflatable rides were filled with the venue, and G.O. was now transformed into cartoon characters full of festive atmosphere. He really felt like he had returned to childhood.

play| Fairy Tale Train Journey

One day while walking aimlessly in the resort, we suddenly discovered that there was a fairytale train.

The brown-red train, tied with rainbow-colored ribbons, and the crystal clear wishing bottles, floated in our sight with the wind. The children said, this seems to be Thomas 'little train ~

The small train tour takes a long circle around the resort. In addition to enjoying the scenery of the hotel, it also stops at two stops that are suitable for children. The first stop is the cute mini zoo, where children can feed bunnies, ponies, and sika deer, as well as observe the majestic big white geese and the proud peacocks.

Another place that is very suitable for children is a vegetable picking garden. Bringing children here to learn about different vegetables should be a completely different feeling from urban life. Unfortunately, it had just rained and the vegetable garden was muddy, so I couldn't enter the garden for the time being. I hope I have the opportunity next time ~

eat and drink| A cafeteria that won't get tired of eating six meals

Club Med Joyview Beijing Yanqing Resort has a total of six restaurants amp; Bar. Currently, it is open to Xunwei Restaurant, Yi Bar and Lobby Bar. Xunwei Restaurant is the main restaurant in the resort and uses a buffet format. We ate a total of six buffets here for 3 days and 2 nights, and we weren't tired of them ~ It shows that the quality was still good.

Regarding breakfast, I think the highlights are noodle stalls and freshly made pancakes, which is a bit of street food. Compared with Western breakfast, pancakes and fried dough sticks and noodle soup make me feel more pyrotechnic ~

The variety of Chinese food is even richer. Just like in the morning, there will also be freshly made Liangpi jelly and other snacks. Mix it with a big meal and make it more appetizing ~

There were more hard dishes for dinner, such as freshly cut roasted lamb leg meat, grilled steak, and freshly made teppanyaki, which made the two carnivores very satisfied. As a resort featuring wine, the restaurant also presents many dishes with red wine elements, such as red wine beef stew, which is a good taste that makes people have endless aftertaste ~

What's worth mentioning is the desserts in the restaurant. They are really cute ~

What impressed me deeply was that lunch happened to coincide with a guest's birthday. G.O. dressed up to perform and sang a birthday song for him with everyone to admire him under his real name. What a thoughtful hotel ~

By opting for the all-inclusive price, you can enjoy unlimited drinks at the resort, including a variety of hot and cold drinks and drinks (a rough look at the wine list has about a hundred drinks in total, and about two-thirds of them are all-inclusive, which means free is enough for us) When you are sweating in the outdoor playground, exhausted from playing in the mini club, and watching the evening show, you can come to the lobby bar and Yee Bar at any time to order a drink.

Children's favorite juice ~ It's so enjoyable to drink it ~

The most perfect vacation is to have unlimited drinking of happy fat house water!

I personally think we should choose a one-price all-inclusive package because this is one of the essence of Club Med and is worth the money.

Exclusive benefits for one-price all-inclusive guests:

? Including access to facilities in the resort after 15:00 on the day of check-in, catering at various restaurants and bars, and breakfast and lunch on the day of check-out. Drinks include only the first two pages of the wine list.

? Check-out time is before 11 a.m. After check-out, you can continue to use the event facilities until 17 a.m. on the check-out day with your bracelet.

? Many rides can only be experienced at one price and all inclusive.

I still remember when Summer was younger, he would cry and not leave at the end of every trip. This time, although he was reluctant to part with his friends, the playground, the beautiful scenery under the mountains, and the sweet juice that was available on call... he finally wouldn't cry and refuse to go home. Perhaps it was because he understood in a daze that the end of the trip was not ENDING, but there was a next beginning.

Summer's father said that he felt that Summer seemed to have grown up a lot after every trip. Yes, I have always felt that travel is the gentlest and most powerful growth for children. I am looking forward to coming to Club Med next time. I wonder what will be left deep in Summer's memory ~
