Guanting Reservoir is located in the northwest of Beijing, spanning Huailai County in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, and Yanqing District in Beijing. It is the oldest large reservoir on the Yongding River in the Haihe River system and the first large reservoir built after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In the beginning of winter, more than 1,000 swans fly to Guanting Reservoir, where they rest, forage, and play, as if performing a brand new version of "Swan Lake." ⛸️Best Time for Ice Skating: The ice skating season at Guanting Reservoir usually starts in mid-December and lasts until the end of February of the following year. However, the specific time depends on the weather conditions, as the ice surface will be more solid when the temperature is lower. It is recommended to check the weather forecast before traveling and choose a sunny day with a lower temperature. 🚗Self-Driving Route: ● Depart from downtown Beijing, take the Beijing-Tibet Expressway (G6), and exit at "Yanqing North." ● Follow the signs to Guanting Reservoir. We went to the section of the road before the ticket office of Woniu Film and Television City. ● Parking suggestion: You can park along the reservoir! ⚠️Tips: The temperature in Yanqing is 5–10 degrees lower than in the city! Be sure to wear more clothes! Because it is relatively open, it was very windy when we went! Be sure to bring gloves, hats, scarves, masks, and sunglasses! It is important to wear non-slip shoes! Bring your own ice car! Play tools!

I went back to Beijing to visit relatives for a few days. I went to escape the heat when the weather was very hot. Old Beijingers are accustomed to going north to Huailai to spend the summer. They most like to go for a walk by the Guanting Reservoir in summer. Take a boat ride on the reservoir for a spin. The scenery is endless. I really miss it. The scenery of Europe...I saw a sailboat flipping over and couldn't get up. I was worried to death (for fear that the player's water resistance was not good) and asked the old master to paddle over and ask if he wanted to help⛵️Fortunately, they said it was no big problem😄I could handle it myself...There is one next to the reservoir There is a farmhouse called [Guanhutai]. The preparation of reservoir fish is quite authentic. There are many kinds of fish. Many ways to choose from. ✌️ The [Big Pot Fish Stew] we ordered is very fresh and delicious. You can also choose the stewed side dishes... My daughter’s first time After eating so many pieces of fresh stewed fish, she said it was softer and more delicious than grilled fish and fried fish in Australia... After eating, there was a swing to play on. In fact, there is also a windsurfing teaching program (you need to call to book a coach). We will try it next time~

|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". It is really amazing to take photos and check in Guishui River Ecological Tourism Area Guanting Reservoir never disappoints. The blue sky, windmills, and clear lake make everything so healing and beautiful. Western Beijing Grassland The grassland closest to Beijing, "Altai" around Beijing. There are many entertainment activities here, including horse riding, off-road karts, water rafts, speedboats, etc. Canaan Winery. 100 Poems A professional winery, one of the top 100 “World’s Best Vineyards” (the only two in China). Here you can learn about wine cultivation (remember to make an appointment in advance), understand wine culture, and do the grafting yourself. Experience, you can also taste fine wine, take photos and check in beautiful photos (the second floor of Pushe Courtyard is beyond the film) Sino-French Manor The main building of the Sino-French Manor next to Canaan Winery has red walls that are beyond the picture and is now open for reservations

Spent three days in Chongli for the Dragon Boat Festival I can't forget the grassland scenery here that resembles Altay Unexpectedly, there was a surprise on the way back! On the last day, I drove to Beijing and on the way to catch the high-speed train back to Shanghai, at the border of Beijing and Hebei I encountered an island-like 💙"Blue Ocean" and the same type of 🛣️"Route 66" as in Zhongwei 🌊The Guanting Reservoir is called the Gui River in Hebei and generally known as the Guihe River in Beijing. It is the oldest large reservoir on the Yongding River of the Haihe River system. Under the ☀️ clear sky, the water appears as blue as the ocean, and there are quite a few places along the way where you can get close to the water. Due to time constraints, we only stopped at two places⬇️ 📍Guihe River Ecological Tourism Area It is a developed tourist spot with facilities like speedboats for recreation. Here you can take photos with the Guanting Reservoir Bridge in the same frame, and the scenery is quite beautiful. The most shocking thing was that ❗️ I could still take pictures of rapeseed flowers in June‼️ The last time I was so amazed was when I saw cherry blossoms in Dalian in May 😂 📍Qingshui Fish Bay - Shanggu County There are many windmills here, and you can take photos with the reservoir ➕ mountains ➕ windmills in the same frame. However, the road along the river is a bit rough, and after the rain, a sedan might scrape its chassis 🛣️In the northern part of the Guanting Reservoir in the Beijing area, there is a small mountain road. Because of the dense vegetation on both sides and the road's straight shape with a certain slope, and with the backdrop of a large mountain range, it appears very three-dimensional under the compression of a telephoto lens. It is also known as the "Suburban Route 66", and if time allows, you can take a detour to see it 📍Gulong Road, is an eastward road, and the shooting location is about one-quarter from the west side

Taking a laid-back holiday at home is not satisfying, so for the May Day holiday, I plan a spontaneous trip around Beijing DAY1, heading towards Yu County. To avoid the crowds, I set off in the evening of the 1st, staying overnight at Guanting Reservoir first~ 🚉Transportation Strategy: Drive to Huailai Bridge, after getting off the bridge, you can follow the small road along the roadside to the reservoir. Recently, wooden stakes have been added, and the roads that cars can take to the reservoir have decreased, so it's best to arrive before dawn to find a spot. 🌟Highlights: The scenery is truly beautiful, with the bridge and windmills looking amazing during sunrise and sunset. Sometimes, if the clouds are impressive, it's even more breathtaking. Besides fishermen, there are currently few tourists, and now there are some ducks and waterbirds, but their numbers have decreased, probably because they are about to leave. Camping and cooking are also possible without any fees for now, and I heard that a paid campsite has recently opened nearby for those who need water and electricity. 🍽Dining Recommendations: I usually camp and cook here, but when I'm too lazy to cook, I go to the nearby Sizhuang Pillar Stewed Fish. After trying it once, I often go back because the taste is good and the prices are reasonable. This time, because I had to continue traveling, I didn't camp, and the dinner and breakfast in the picture cost ¥260, which was very filling for four people. It's a family-run place, and we usually call ahead to order, especially the stewed fish, to make sure they have fish. 🛏Accommodation Recommendations: Now the temperature is suitable for camping, and it's relatively safe here without much difficulty. I don't usually like challenging outdoor activities, so I come here often without any pressure. However, there's no water or electricity, so you need to bring enough, and you'll have to 'go wild' for bathroom needs. I've also stayed at Pillar's place in the winter when it's cold, which is economical and basically at the level of a farmhouse. I didn't leave until five in the afternoon, but I arrived just in time to see the sunset It's a great place to escape from Beijing for the weekend, and although I've been here many times, I've noticed the increasing management, so go and cherish it.
