In October 2023, I participated in the national martial arts competition with the team, stayed in the 16th district of Jiuhua Villa in Changping District. After weighing in the morning of the first day, there was no competition that day, so a half-day tour of the Great Wall was arranged in the afternoon. Considering the spectacular flow of people and vehicles in Badaling, we decided to go to Mutianyu. The hotel provides a round-trip charter for 500. The heroes set off. We bought tickets for the shuttle bus and the enclosed cable car. The cable car took us to the 14th beacon tower, and we climbed to the 20th beacon tower. There is also a ticket for the non-enclosed cable car and the slide, but it only goes to the sixth or seventh beacon tower, and the difficulty of climbing to the top increases. The coaches and children completed it easily, and the two mothers... it was okay, maybe because it was just a half-day tour, so it wasn't too tiring. We returned to Changping and ate old Beijing flavor, which successfully ended the trip to the Mutianyu Great Wall.

In 1997, 'Jiuhua Villa' was built on the site of the old palace, and the large-scale hot spring theme park is a major feature of the villa.

#christmastrip I was lucky to have a chance to visit this wonderful resort. It is secluded and located in the north sixth ring of Beijing. Due to the location, it is a good relaxing place. There is a bus route 984 connecting the metro station in the fifth ring to the resort. It took about 40 mins of bus ride and the resort is the terminal station. Won't miss out on getting off! The resort is big with almost twenty buildings. In the main building, there is a convention center and a big hall for hosting events. Alongside are a few Chinese restaurants, the food is good and the price is acceptable. The rooms are clean and spacious with a small living room. The facilities are brilliant. Hot spring is available and there are different types of functions for choosing. Must try it! Also there are massage services available.

we had a great time at the hot springs. #christmasgiveaway
