[2025 Chicheng Hotels] Travel Guide for Camptel Tours (Updated Jul)

Self-driving from Beijing 🚗 2 hours to Zhangjiakou ~ Stay at this lonely homestay 🏡 This Nordic-style B&B is located in Chicheng County, Zhangjiakou City. ⛺️ The mountain cabin is located in the vast mountains in the north. Each cabin has its own unique design. Come here to enjoy some time alone, 🌌 look up at the stars at night and fall asleep, 🌄 be accompanied by cattle and sheep in the morning. ✨ The living environment is high in the mountains, so there is no need to worry about being disturbed. The facilities are complete and the space is independent. There are currently seven independent small B&Bs. The room with large floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the desolate scene opposite is very relaxing. 🍽 The restaurant has a rich variety of food, and the steak set menu is recommended to try. The heat was just right, and the 🥒 vegetables and 🍰 desserts were also delicious. The sunset outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows is really beautiful. In autumn, the cattle and sheep on the grass are leisurely and contented. It is a beautiful scenery all year round.

⭐️Transportation The homestay is called You She Camptel, located on the mountain of Chicheng County, Zhangjiakou City. There are 7 cabins in total, each separated by a distance so as not to disturb the experience of solitude. We took a high-speed train from Beijing for an hour and a half to Chongli Station, and then a 40-minute taxi ride. Before arrival, you need to report the license plate number to the homestay, otherwise the gate on the mountain will not let you pass. ❤️Facilities and Services Each cabin has a different theme. We booked the cliff cabin, which is located on a cliff in the mountains. We love its large floor-to-ceiling windows, which overlook the endless scenery of the mountains. There is also a cliff-side wooden platform outside the cabin where you can sit outside and enjoy the view. The room is not big but fully equipped with heating and floor heating, basic toiletries are fully equipped, bath products are all Aesop, minibar is free, and a kettle is also provided. We went there for a birthday, and arranged some birthday decorations with the homestay in advance. Before check-in, the housekeeper will add WeChat in advance. When you arrive at the destination, the housekeeper will pick you up in a pickup truck and send you directly to the cabin door. After check-in, any needs can be mentioned in the housekeeper group, the response is very timely, but the housekeeper gets off work after 9 o'clock, so it is best to communicate in advance. 🏒Play The main experience of the wilderness is the sense of tranquility and seclusion. It is very quiet here and there is a feeling of being wrapped in mountains and rivers. When the temperature is not cold in the afternoon, it is suitable for strolling in the mountains. You can also make tea or have a few drinks by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the room. Sometimes you can see herds of cattle passing by. The temperature drops quickly on the mountain and it is very cold at night. The time suitable for outdoor activities in this season is only from noon to afternoon. It is very suitable for stargazing at night if there is no fog, but it is not suitable to stay outdoors for too long, it feels a bit dangerous. 🥪Catering I have to praise the restaurant of You She, it's really delicious! The staff said that the chef was dug from the top luxury hotel. I didn't have much expectation for the catering, but I was amazed. It's much more delicious than many leek-cutting bistros in Beijing. The restaurant is in a separate tent, the heating is very sufficient and there is a fireplace. Before eating, let the housekeeper drive a pickup truck to pick it up. Dinner and lunch need to be reserved in advance. The housekeeper will send different set meal contents and prices. We booked a roast chicken set meal for 568 yuan plus a separate oxtail pot for more than 400. All set meals are for two people, and you can eat until you are full. Breakfast is included in the room rate. It can be delivered to the room or go to the restaurant. The latest time for delivery to the room is ten and a half. There are three set meals to choose from: North African eggs, American and British. The North African eggs and American are both delicious. Waking up naturally and eating breakfast on the warm window sill of the room is super beautiful. Overall, it's worth coming here to escape the city for a getaway, but because there aren't many things to play, if you're afraid of being bored, it's actually enough to stay for one night.

It’s a bit embarrassing to travel to Zhangjiakou in winter without snow. Fortunately, we found a very high-end B&B: Akagi Yushe. How high is it? It means that you feel that this kind of taste should not appear in this place... The tour house is located in Xizhazi Village, Chicheng County. There are no scenic spots within a radius of ten kilometers, and there are no other places worth staying for tourists. There are only barren fields in winter and slopes covered with dead grass. There is actually a simple airport next to the tour house, which contains a flight school and some other outdoor clubs. The airport terminal (let's call it that) is quite magnificent, and it is estimated that it is larger than the airports in most small cities in the country. There are seven separate houses in the tourist area. No one is next to another and no one looks the same as the other. They are all proudly distributed on a large and undulating loess plateau. It takes more than 200 meters to walk from one building to another, and there are often deep ditches in the middle, so it is not easy to pass through one door. The interior of the lodge is nothing special, but in such a remote wilderness, it is not easy to find heating, a bathroom, wifi, and comfortable bedding. The highlight of the rooms in the Youshe is the large viewing glass, and some rooms even have skylights for stargazing. Sitting in front of the tea table, covering my hands with coffee, looking at the desolate and dull wasteland, with occasional cows and sheep grazing under the window, I feel that the lonely winter in the north also has an inexplicable power. The food at Youshe is not simple. It is said that the chef was hired from a Michelin restaurant. It mainly serves Western cuisine. Although the price is shocking, the quality is very solid. It is worth it to enjoy meals of the standard of five-star hotels in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in a yurt restaurant with the howling north wind outside! The Western breakfast is still great, probably the work of the Michelin chef, and it is included in the room rate, so you don’t have to look at the menu while breathing air conditioning in the middle of winter. The guesthouse does not provide service after 10 o'clock at night, as the service staff all go home after get off work, so it is best to make any requests as early as possible. Don't be so excited that you just take photos and barbecue, then find out that the water pipes are frozen when you go to bed - it is normal for all kinds of unpredictable things to happen in this kind of wilderness B&B.

A mountain, a room, a sense of loneliness isolated from the world A good place for you to relax and enjoy freedom It takes about 3 hours to drive from Beijing. There is a gate at the foot of the mountain. No vehicles are allowed to go up the mountain without an appointment. You need to report the vehicle information to the housekeeper in advance and then register at the security booth before you can go up the mountain. After going up the mountain for a distance, you will see an airstrip. It is blocked now and you cannot drive up. You can only park your car in the parking space next to it and contact the housekeeper to drive to pick you up. I booked the Playhaus room type, which has a simple layout. The whole house is made of wooden boards with floor heating, which is cozy and warm. What I like most is the large glass window at the head of the bed, facing the distant mountains⛰️. In this season, you can vaguely see the snow on the mountains, and the sunset and sunrise are very beautiful. There are tables and chairs on the outdoor platform, so you can sit outside and eat and enjoy the scenery when the weather is warm. The room rate includes breakfast for two 🍴, with three options: English/American/double non-egg. You can agree on the delivery time with the housekeeper in advance, and you can enjoy a delicious breakfast when you wake up the next day. If you need dinner, you can also go to the restaurant. There are three options: Chinese food, Western food, and farm food. It is said to be at the level of Michelin chefs. Since each room type is far away from each other, almost every room can be You can enjoy 360-degree unobstructed natural scenery and have the entire mountain to yourself. 🏠Camptel Play&Stay 📍Inside the life terminal of the New Snow Country No. 2 Airport in Xizhazi Village, Chicheng County, Zhangjiakou City
