Traditional old Beijingers love to go to Northern Beijing to escape the summer heat (a few degrees cooler). I took my two kids to temporarily stay at Badaling Peacock City Holiday House and discovered this Guanlan Villa community nearby. The atmosphere is very European (many Beijing-licensed cars parked inside). There is a waterfront viewing platform nicknamed Little Erhai, which is a popular photo spot for young people. Laketime Coffee café is fully occupied; tourists rest inside when they are tired and hot from walking ☕️. The outdoor area at the entrance has entertainment facilities and a water park ⛲️, making both adults and children very happy... We encountered a smiling dog (probably because it was hot). The owner hadn't returned yet, so we bought mineral water to cool it down... It's a great atmosphere at Guanlan Little Erhai～

It feels like being back in Dali. The white tables and chairs outside the Guanlan Time Cafe face the water and back against the distant mountains, perfect for daydreaming! When you come to the Guanlan small square, the winding rainbow-colored 🌈 plastic boardwalk extends all the way to the 'seaside', like a fairy tale world. The white railings nearby echo with the windmills and mountains in the distance. The piano 🎹 on the second floor of the small viewing platform is filled with red roses, creating a poetic and romantic atmosphere! The frog 🐸 seats next to it also give a sense of security! Enjoy the natural breeze and the pure feeling! The Yangxin Hotel has a small swimming pool, with a moon-shaped lamp in the middle that might light up at night. Wade through the water, sit down to meditate, and step on the water, and the heat will disappear instantly.

|The first stop for workers to challenge weekend travel is Huailai. I have to say that Zhangjiakou Huailai, which is only half an hour away from Beijing, is worth a trip. Here you can find the grasslands and deserts closest to Beijing, as well as the blue sky, azure lakes, and healing windmills. Any photo you take will be a great movie. Huailai is also the hometown of Chinese grapes (wine), with a total of 41 wine processing companies in the county. Here you can learn about the entire process of wine planting, fermentation, cellaring, etc., and taste the wine yourself. The two-day and one-night trip to Huailai allows you to enjoy the beautiful scenery, delicious food, and fine wine. It is also suitable for taking photos and taking your kids out for a walk. transportation 1Beijing North Station/Qinghe Station both have high-speed rail 2 It takes about 1.5 hours to drive from Beijing 2-day tour itinerary①Day 1 Guanlan Xiao'erhai Lake - Guishui River Ecological Tourism Area (Guanting Reservoir) - Jingxi Grassland - Stay at Canaan Winery ② Day 2 Visit wine processing - wine tasting - visit grape planting - nursery grafting experience - visit the animal yard - check in and take photos at the Sino-French main building Recommended places to visit: Guanlan Xiao'erhai Lake The environment of Dali Erhai Lake is like a déjà vu, and there is a rainbow path leading to the "sea".
