[2025 Xinglong Attraction] Travel Guide for Aranya Wuling Mountain (Updated Apr)

Beijing didn’t have a single snowfall this winter❄, which made the kids who wanted to play in the snow anxious~ And the grandparents👴 who have been talking about wanting to soak in hot springs (tangquan)♨ all winter👴 Why not have a relaxing family 🧑‍🧑‍🧒 hot spring (tangquan) trip? Aranya Wuling Mountain is a perfect choice❤️ After experiencing the hustle and bustle of Aranya Beidaihe in summer, Aranya Wuling Mountain is much quieter. The gurgling stream and the melting snow. This place is more like a quiet world where you can escape from the world. It takes more than two hours to drive from Beijing. If you take the high-speed rail 🚄, it will take only half an hour to Beijing Chaoyang Station 🔜 Xinglong Station. It is super convenient to take a taxi! This time we chose to stay at the Lan Ye Hotel in the park, which we highly recommend! The Zen flowers and trees and warm lighting here make people feel relaxed. After checking in, the minibar snacks and drinks are replenished every day, the hot spring clothes are already prepared, and the service is super considerate. The hotel also offers exquisite matcha sets and Mizu Shingen Mochi experiences, which tea enthusiasts will surely love. Most of the activities are around Lanye Hotel, and the arrangements are different every day, including origami, paper cutting, shadow puppetry, bamboo weaving... adults and children will not be bored🥱 Traveling with the whole family is mainly about comfort😌, staying comfortably and eating at ease! 1. The First Canteen has so many dishes that you will be dazzled by the choices. The price-performance ratio is very high and you can eat three meals a day without feeling too much. 2. Xiaoye’s Japanese breakfast is exquisite and delicious, which is a good start for the day. 3. Wan Tao Hotpot’s Sukiyaki is a warm and comfortable dish for a cold night. Warm yellow lights, tatami mats, the whole family sitting around the bubbling Sukiyaki pot, drinking, laughing and talking, all the fatigue from the day's trip faded away. If you have enough budget, Matsukaze's Japanese food is a delicacy not to be missed. 4. The dishes at Shiwei Valley are simple but super delicious. Fish head pancake, pork scraps and cabbage 🥬… a strong flavor of home. Soaking in hot springs (Tangquan) is one of the purposes of this trip. The public bath is free, but reservations must be made in advance. Private baths are even more crowded and must be booked two weeks in advance! Fortunately, I kept an eye on the APP and grabbed the one that slipped through the net! But the experience is definitely worth the price of admission. Taking a bath in a private bath in a separate room and looking at the snow scenery is one of the great enjoyments in life. For the elderly who love to drink tea, a cup of hot tea after taking a bath is the most comfortable😌 The second destination of this bathing trip, Eye Stone Hot Spring, is also very popular and requires reservations! But I can’t bring the kids with me! You must be 14 years old or older to enter! You need to wear a swimsuit🩱The unique black building seems to be isolated from the world, and the industrial black hot spring pool is also unique. There are a maximum of four people in a period of time, and the privacy is very good👍After taking a bath, you can take a shower in the high-altitude shower next to it, and look at the mountains and drink tea in the lounge🍵. It's another perfect day! In addition to hot springs, there are many activities to participate in. At the Kenzan Honin, there is an exhibition called "Making the Most of Calligraphy", where you can quietly copy calligraphy and cultivate your body and mind. The singing bowl essential oil aromatherapy at FLOW Center can help you relax to the extreme. The Dandy room has billiards and karaoke, making it perfect for team building or family gatherings. Modern people cannot live without coffee, and the dirty coffee at Machi Rugu is worth a try. I hope this guide can help you plan a perfect trip to Aranya Wuling Mountain. Bring your family and enjoy this tranquility and beauty together. Looking forward to hearing your travel stories!

| The Private Hot Spring at Wuling Mountain is Next Level! Little Kyoto in the Suburbs of Beijing | The Private Hot Spring at Wuling Mountain is Next Level A Carefully Planned Surprise Wuling Mountain Aranya is a great choice for a weekend getaway from the city in winter. It was a quiet and healing trip. The private hot spring needs to be booked in advance. There are two hot spring pools in one room. The indoor winter limited yuzu hot spring and the outdoor snow view silk hot spring are very private and won't be disturbed. We stayed at the Lanye Hotel. The environment is a comfortable Japanese style. The hotel prepares pajamas and cotton-padded jackets for guests. Hotel guests can also book a public hot spring. Men and women are separated. We didn't book it because we had already booked a private hot spring. In terms of entertainment, the second phase is under construction. You can copy calligraphy in the bookstore. The environment is quiet. You can experience the flow of mind and take home a souvenir of a beautiful weekend. Food Recommendations 🫧Songfeng - The recent limited menu has a lot of hawthorn as an ingredient. The hawthorn pork belly skewers and lychee beef neck skewers are amazing. Highly recommended. The hell seafood pot and limited hawthorn sushi are also good. 🫧Shiwei Valley - The first meal we had and the best-reviewed restaurant. The hawthorn braised pork is quite special. I think it's a bit salty. The fried pork and bok choy is surprisingly delicious. It's very down-to-earth. Overall, I think this restaurant didn't meet my expectations. Maybe my expectations were too high. There are not many seats. If you want to go, you need to go early. 🫧Shanshiji - They are currently serving Chinese hot pot. The chicken soup pot is quite good. It's light and comfortable to eat. It's okay.

The unique charm of Anaya Wuling Mountain Hot Spring lies in its natural environment. It is hidden in a quiet valley, surrounded by dense forest with a forest coverage rate of 95%, making it a true "forest oxygen bar." Here, you can breathe fresh air and feel the vitality of nature. When you step into this land, it feels like entering a paradise isolated from the world, peaceful and beautiful. Lanya Hotel is a shining pearl in this paradise. The hotel adheres to the design concept of "preserving the original" and "environmental compatibility," showcasing a return to nature aesthetic style from the interior to the courtyard. The lobby is designed like a gallery, and the Akari lamps in the leisure area are the works of the famous artist Isamu Noguchi, perfectly combining traditional craftsmanship with Western aesthetics. The hotel has 98 unique rooms, each with large windows offering views of the sunset, sea of clouds, and mountains, allowing you to experience the magnificence of nature from your room.

How can you miss Xiaoye Restaurant when you go to Anaya Wulingshan? Sitting by the stream for breakfast, listening to the gurgling stream, it's too comfortable. 🌞The autumn wind is slightly cool, the sun is shining 🍽️Japanese breakfast, it's too comfortable to eat Whether it's Japanese cuisine Or grilled bird Western food A wide variety of food There is always one for you So use food to wake up your taste buds ‼️Especially that fish steak is much better than chicken steak

I came for the second phase this time I saw Yamamoto Hospital in the second phase It's a bookstore and a rest area Although the ticket is CNY60 per person But it will give the same amount of vouchers Exchange for coffee or exchange for convenience store shopping I personally think it's acceptable~

If you like to get away from it all, you'll love it here. Transportation 3 hours by car from Beijing, the last hour or so is a national highway mountain road that's a bit rough. There are a lot of big trucks in the second half, and a lot of places are still under construction. Accommodation There's only one hotel, Lan Ye Hotel, which has a very Japanese-style feel. It's clean and tidy, and it's new, new, new. Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the hotel carefully prepared Mid-Autumn Festival snacks and gave away moon rabbit lamps, which I liked. Two public hot spring tickets are given upon check-in. You need to make an appointment in advance for the hot spring to avoid peak hours. The public hot spring feels like a private hot spring. But not child-friendly... Children under 14 are not allowed to soak, which is a pity. Eat and drink The first canteen is similar to other A Na Ya, with a self-service stir-fried vegetable noodle hot pot, which is basically good. ② Shiwei Valley is recommended @ Tofu! Braised pork! Small rapeseed! The taste is very "farmhouse dish" high-end delicious a10+a11 How can A Na Ya be without coffee? But the taste of the coffee... um... "hard to judge"... bitter... astringent... Overall very chill state If you like the fast-paced high passion of the city, this may not be the place for you, but Here can make you simple

From Beijing Chaoyang Station, it takes only 37 minutes to reach Xinglong County. As soon as you get off the train, a gust of cold wind hits you, and there are shiny ice shards on the ground, indicating that it has just snowed. The air is filled with a faint scent of cedarwood, 'This is winter.' After leaving the station, you can choose to take a taxi or book the Anaya shuttle bus, which will take you to your destination in 30 minutes. (Driving takes more than 3 hours, and half of the journey is mountain roads, so it is not recommended for those who are not confident in their driving skills.) Anaya Wuling Mountain is different from Qinhuangdao; it focuses on Japanese-style retreats, and the entire park's architecture exudes a sense of coolness. The park is built in a mountain valley, and the first phase is currently not large, taking only 10 minutes to walk through. Accommodation: Stay at the Lanye Hotel, which is currently the only hotel in the park that offers complimentary public bath tickets, two breakfasts (one Japanese and one Western), and a dessert experience voucher. Standing on the large terrace of the room, you can enjoy a distant view of the mountains and the sea, feeling at ease. There is no TV in the room and there will not be one in the future, but you can book a projector from the front desk, though the number is limited. Hot Springs: There are two options: public baths and private baths, both of which need to be booked in advance. You can book the entire public bath for a specific time slot (9:00 AM or 4:00 PM). Private baths are divided into outdoor and indoor, costing over 600 yuan for three hours, with 24-hour circulating treated natural spring water. Looking out the window at the gradually withering trees, occasionally a squirrel or two comes to forage. Curling up in the hot spring water, all worries dissipate. There is also a tea room in the hot spring area, where you can enjoy a book, a cup of tea, and a window view. It would be even more perfect if it snowed heavily. Dining: There is only one canteen in the park, with cuisine similar to that in Qinhuangdao. There is a Japanese restaurant, a dessert shop, and a bar (closed in winter). There is currently no supermarket, so it is recommended to bring your own drinks. Entertainment: Loneliness and healing are the biggest feelings about Anaya Wuling Mountain. Most activities here focus on self-exploration, such as meditation, hiking, and flower arranging classes. I experienced a Japanese flower arranging class (which actually originated in China), where the teacher talked a lot about choosing flowers, selecting leaves, and leaving blank spaces, 'We need to restore the true nature of things.' Let flowers be flowers, let trees be trees, give others back to others, and give yourself back to yourself, that is the meaning. Life is like a fog, passing through layers of thorns, you will eventually find that fog light and reach the other shore. This winter, Anaya Wuling Mountain is worth a visit. Here, distant mountains, hot springs, and delicious food will heal everything.
