April outing in Pinggu, a perfect weekend in the popular landmark "Bumblebee"

The April sky in the world where the grass grows and the warblers fly, the emerald Dahua Mountain at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, and the clear water of the Xiyu Reservoir are rippling; the birds circling and singing on the top of the mountain, the ducks swimming and playing on the water, and the flowers all over the mountains and plains are all proclaiming, Spring has really come.

On weekends, stay with your friends at the CITIC Jinling Hotel entrenched in the Pinggu mountain stream, and spend a perfect holiday that you can't stop playing in this behemoth that resembles a "Bumblebee".

The mountains and the water are amazing, why do the residents in the third ring road come here to fetch water?

Spring in April is the most beautiful time of the year in Beijing. No matter where you are, you will always be accompanied by flowers and blue sky, not to mention, this is Pinggu, a resort of peach blossoms. The Pinggu fairy peaches in summer spoil the taste buds of Beijingers, and the peach gardens in spring spoil the hearts of Beijingers even more. Beautiful peach blossoms and sweet fairy peaches all rely on the good mountains and rivers of Pinggu.

Backed by Dahua Mountain and facing the Xiyu Reservoir, Quanshuiyu is an ordinary small mountain village, but it has become no longer ordinary because of a magical Shengquan. For thousands of years, it has gradually evolved into a tourist scenic spot in Shengquan Temple. It is 80 kilometers away from downtown Beijing and covers a total area of 1,000 mu. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, no matter how dry the sky is or how dry the land is, the water from this spring is always the same, with bubbling and gurgling sounds.

The spring water originates from Wuling Mountain, a national forest park hundreds of miles away. According to legend, Meng Jiangnv went to the Great Wall of Beishuiyu to find her husband from thousands of miles away. The journey was full of ups and downs and tears, and her eyes were blurred. After a few strokes, he glanced at the chaos in front of him, only to feel his mind clear and his eyes bright. Meng Jiangnv knelt down to thank her, and her tears dripped into the spring, making the spring water clearer and sweeter.

Although the ancient building dedicated to Meng Jiangnv no longer exists, there is a clear spring left. The trickling water has gradually become the object of people's pursuit. Later, people continued to excavate and rest, and set up a statue of Guanyin, sculpture at the source of the spring. In people's eyes, the ancient legend has become a symbol of God, and the water here has also become magical with the blessing of Meng Jiangnu.

Beside the mountain road to Quanshuiyu, there are pear and apricot blossoms that bloom early, and the peach blossoms are also pink. The car shuttles through it. You have to open the window. The spring breeze soaks the freshness of the whole body, which is a gift from nature. There is a strange slope on the road, and along the way, I saw many villagers driving electric tricycles to fetch water, but when I arrived at the parking lot, I found that many cars in the third ring road came here to fetch water. The buckets moved out of the trunk one by one filled the open space in front of the spring, what a spectacle.

Seeing countless people coming and going with large and small buckets, I thought that the effect of this spring water was really powerful, so I chatted with the people in the city who came here to fetch water. According to them, the boiled water here is perfect for green tea, which is sweet and mellow. No matter how many times you boil it, there is no scale in the kettle. Surrounded by pollution today, people tirelessly fetch water, carts, and transport, probably because they want to taste the clear spring from the deep mountains!

Down the road, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, the air is fresh. And my purpose is to stay at the "Bumblebee" CITIC Jinling Hotel behind Quanshanyu for a weekend. The water source of this hotel is all the spring water from Quanshanyu. All the drinking water, bottled water, and even the water in the swimming pool come from that magical spring water. Speaking of this, I thought of those people who came from afar with big barrels, and I smiled evilly in my heart.

CITIC Jinling Hotel looks like a "Bumblebee" check-in place

The first time I came to the CITIC Jinling Hotel entrenched in the mountain stream, I was really pleasantly surprised. Unexpectedly, there is such a large comprehensive resort hotel in such a picturesque and geomantic land. The highly iconic appearance is unforgettable. Completely different from the architectural style of other hotels, this hotel feels designed to fully integrate the valley and natural elements, but it gives a distinct impression of "Bumblebee".

Looking up, down, left, and right, no matter what angle you look at, you keep repeating in your heart: "It's too much like a bumblebee!" The bumblebee entrenched in the mountain stream, the bumblebee lying on the mountain, gives people A sense of security and future, even a bit like an alien base. This! Is this hotel really just a hotel?

Can't believe your eyes? I found a picture of the bumblebee for comparison, this is exactly the bumblebee itself! Such a cool place, why didn't I know it before? ! So just for this 90% similarity appearance, it's time to check in early! Well, let me live in the body of a bumblebee for the weekend and find out!

Ingenious design in the valley

Today, our first impression of the hotel is "Bumblebee" or an alien base. I really want to talk to the designer who designed this hotel at that time, and ask him if he really didn't think of a little bit of Bumblebee at that time. shape? From the trophies placed in the hotel lobby, we know that the design of this hotel has won the Luban Award and the Zhan Tianyou Design Award. Presumably, the ingenuity of the design is more telling.

The designer of CITIC Jinling Hotel is Mr. Cui Kai, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, vice president of China Architecture Design and Research Institute, and national engineering design master. He designed CITIC Jinling, a unique special-shaped building in the country, which perfectly combines the hotel building with the natural mountain. . Taking "full integration of architecture and environment" as the design strategy, the building is integrated into the U-shaped slope with a height difference of nearly 30 meters. The designer's experience of going to the countryside to build terraces also brought him design inspiration. The perfect combination of nature and human settlements, but in our eyes, has become the shape of a bumblebee.

In the super-high hotel lobby, there is an illusion of being in a cave. The beige tone makes people calm and calm, and the large pieces of irregularly carved stones also have the illusion of being connected to the valley. The entire hotel is a reasonable allocation of many functions such as accommodation, catering, conference, fitness, leisure, entertainment, culture and art, so as to achieve the natural harmony between man and nature.

Just looking at the appearance, this bumblebee in our eyes is full of muscles, with a strong sense of security and future. Presumably in the snow-covered mountains in winter, Bumblebee will be more heroic and resolute, while the weeping willows and peach blossoms in April in spring give Bumblebee a little more tenderness. Looking at Liu Yaer's shadowy figure, the phrase came out of his heart: "Mother MAN, mother MAN's".

Along the two wings of the U-shaped slope are the hotel rooms. The terrace-shaped rooms feel integrated with the mountain. The rooms facing the lake have a good view and an independent terrace. You can sit on the balcony and drink tea. view. The big bed room I stayed in has a big bed of 2 meters * 2 meters. The house has a lot of space and the lake and mountains outside the window. The house price is less than 700 yuan, which is really cost-effective.

I travel a lot, so I pay attention to the details of the hotel. In April in Beijing, the temperature in the mountains is around 15 degrees, which is still a bit cold. While staying here, the central air conditioner has heated the room to a comfortable temperature, and I feel warm immediately. Look at the welcome fruit and snacks on the table, as well as the lemonade for washing hands, which is really considerate. The bath products use the Herborist of the herbal series, which is a domestic boutique. Put on slippers in the cloakroom, and look up at the hotel's comfortable pajamas, and there are even cute baby pajamas. This kind of thoughtful service is rare.

In addition to ordinary rooms, the hotel also has many room types and villas to choose from. If you are traveling with a large family or a few friends, suites are a good choice. There are several bedrooms in the entire suite, as well as chess and card room, massage chair, jacuzzi, large roof terrace, and even a space full of green plants in the atrium. The blooming sweet-scented osmanthus makes every room full of natural aroma.

AB side of "Bumblebee"

A resort hotel suitable for family travel, CITIC Jinling has the most entertainment items among the hotels in Beijing. And whether it is indoors or outdoors, leisure or stimulation, it is suitable for movement and stillness, which can not only meet the needs of fathers, but also understand the imagination of mothers and children. There is the perfect view of girlfriends checking in, and there is also the speed and passion that brothers like. So even Bumblebee has a completely different AB side.

Terrace Afternoon Tea

Live CS

Tenderness and sweetness, girls love side A

CITIC Jinling, backed by mountains and facing lakes, has both the delicacy and beauty of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River and the leisurely demeanor of mountains and lakes in the north. Among the mountains, rivers and gardens, under the beautiful scenery, breathe the fresh air with negative ion content three times higher than that in the urban area, and drink a cup of coffee made of mineral-rich spring water directly supplied by a 300-meter deep well. Such a beautiful afternoon tea is the only place in Beijing.

Terrace Afternoon Tea

After check-in, drink a cup of afternoon tea on the terrace to completely relax the urban mood. The greenery in the eyes and the warm sunshine make the coffee in the hand extra mellow. Maybe it's because the air is so good, I'm really a little drunk. Looking at the singing and birds hovering on the water, I feel a sense of happiness. Yes, it's just the suburbs of Beijing, and there are such beautiful mountains and rivers. Life is beautiful enough, it just depends on whether you are willing to discover it.

Strawberry Picking Watermelon Garden

Surprisingly, I did not expect to be able to pick fresh strawberries in such an elegant and exquisite hotel. In CITIC Jinling, people can experience the fun that can not only be experienced by staying in a farmhouse. It takes less than ten minutes to walk from the room to the picking garden, but I feel extremely happy. Raise the cotton curtain of the greenhouse, get into the thick strawberry aroma, and the fiery red elves jumping in the green all over, make people's hearts bursting with joy.

Strawberry Picking Watermelon Garden

Start the treasure hunt, the green and pollution-free strawberries are solid, sweet, juicy and tender. Strawberries picked by hand feel extra sweet and full of happiness. In summer, you can also pick watermelons here. Fresh watermelons picked from the field can be brought back to the room to eat. It’s cool to think about it.

indoor botanical garden

There is even a picking garden, so when I heard that there is a botanical garden in the hotel, I didn't seem too surprised. The botanical garden is next to the picking garden, and it takes less than five minutes to walk there. After eating strawberries, I went to the botanical garden to give my eyes and lungs a feast. There are green plants and flowers everywhere, and it feels that the negative ion content here may be higher than outside. There are beautiful scenery everywhere, and you have to check in everywhere. Several girls are together, and they are too busy to take pictures.

bumper boat

swimming pool

Whether it is the outdoor bumper boats or the indoor oversized swimming pool, it is full of tenderness here. It is worth mentioning that in the 800-square-meter swimming pool with 6 lanes, the mineral-rich spring water is directly supplied by the 300-meter-deep well! Thinking about the people who drive all the way to get water, I really want to say, don't bother, live here, and you will have everything.

Auditorium

KTV

Chess Room

movie theater

There are so many check-in places for girlfriends, and to spend the night in the suburbs, in addition to the starry sky that you can't see in the city, there are also leisurely indoor activities to choose from. Auditorium where you can watch song and dance performances, KTV bar, SPA, chess and card room equipped with automatic mahjong tables and refreshments and light meals, calligraphy and painting creation room, library, art exhibition hall, art shop, and even free movies to watch small screening room. Those with children can also take care of them in the children's center. So many items! Makes one suffer from choice anxiety.

Live CS graffiti wall

The Fast and the Furious They prefer the B side

On the weekend of staying in CITIC Jinling, I have been in anxiety about choosing, and there are too many projects to play at all. I thought to myself, there are all the projects that club med has, and there are also some projects that club med does not have, and the number is endless. And female men like me, want to drink beautiful afternoon tea, want to go picking strawberries, and don’t even want to miss the speed and passion that boys like, it’s really tangled.

Live CS graffiti wall

Live CS

The most MAN in the "Bumblebee" is the real CS. It is unimaginable that there are real CS and go-karts in a hotel! The room behind the graffiti wall is the clothing room for the real CS. Assign teams, change into heroic camouflage uniforms, and enter the battle state. In the field of live CS, there are many obstacles that can be used as bunkers. After two battles, although they were defeated, they got a lot of laughter and a rare teamwork experience.

karting

There is also karting, which I love very much, especially when racing directly in the hotel yard without any pedestrians on the road, which makes people feel what a good resort hotel should feel. Even though it is full of guests, it can always give people the illusion of a private room. To achieve this effect, not only rely on a big character, but also have quite a lot of entertainment facilities, so that the guests will not feel crowded like a business hotel.

basketball court

Gym

table tennis hall

snooker room

The basketball court, gymnasium, snooker room, and 250-square-meter table tennis hall are also good places to sweat.

shuffleboard

tennis court

badminton court

The shuffleboard, 550-square-meter tennis hall, and 600-square-meter badminton hall are quite professional, especially the lights in the tennis hall and badminton hall, all of which use low-frequency electrodeless lights for professional venues. The color rendering of this kind of electrodeless lamp is obviously much higher than that of the metal halide lamp, which brings a soft and comfortable lighting effect to the entire arena, making the eyes very comfortable during exercise, less prone to fatigue, and more conducive to performance.

Jinling Salted Duck

The tip of the tongue, the most authentic Huaiyang cuisine in Beijing

So many fun entertainment facilities to fill up the weekend time. The calories consumed here must of course be replenished here. But when it comes to nourishment, the Huaiyang Zao Chinese Restaurant at CITIC Jinling Hotel is really heartwarming. The exquisite and authentic Huaiyang cuisine not only brings a mouthful of spring scenery in Jinling, but also brings a lot of collagen and energy.

Wugutang soft-shelled turtle

Zhuqiao soft-shelled turtle soup

The collagen that bears the brunt is the soft-shelled turtle. Chef Wang of Huaiyang Stove is from Nanjing. The authentic method of Huaiyang cuisine brought us two ways of soft-shelled turtle. One is the Wugutang soft-shelled turtle, the large skirt is very enjoyable to eat. The other is Zhuqiao soft-shelled turtle soup, which uses water chestnut pieces, shiitake mushrooms and soft-shelled turtle pieces, which is extremely rich in chewiness and taste.

Then there is stewed seafood with wild rice. The sea cucumber and fish maw are smooth and smooth. The wild rice adds chewiness and is another magic weapon to replenish collagen.

Steamed soft bag with fragrant reed

Pearl stew

Chef Wang's eel recipes are extremely ingenious, and the two eel recipes have their own characteristics. The fragrant reed steamed soft bag uses only the lean meat from the back of each eel, paired with the green fragrant reed, which is full of spring. The pearl stewed raw, the eel meat is loosened with the back of a knife, the bones are removed and the thorns are removed, and it is stewed with pigeon eggs, which is affectionate.

catfish lion head

Swordfish Wonton

The catfish lion head soup boiled for 8 hours, paired with sweet green water chestnuts, is delicious and unforgettable. The saury wonton uses the extremely precious Yangtze saury, which is not only rare, but also extremely difficult to stab. Filling with such saury meat is absolutely exquisite and must be eaten.

Green Pipi Shrimp

Squirrel sweet-scented osmanthus fish

The emerald green shrimp that you don’t need to peel yourself, and the well-known Huaiyang famous dish squirrel sweet-scented osmanthus fish were liquidated instantly by everyone.

Angelica Oxtail Cup

Jinling salted duck, boiled dried shredded crab, hibiscus peach jelly vegetables, West Lake Dingsheng cake, Yuanbei maggi shrimp, tin-roasted sea yellow croaker, angelica oxtail cup, Nanjing oven roast duck, fish soup noodles, bringing together the delicious flavors of rivers, lakes and seas. The gift of nature, every dish takes into account the appearance and taste, the chef from Nanjing is interested.

In addition to the most authentic Huaiyang cuisine, there are many choices here. In the Champs Elysees Wine Tasting Club, you can also taste exquisite western food. The dining environment in the wine cellar is absolutely chic, with exquisite cod and desserts, paired with a glass of wine from France, you will instantly return to the French Royal Chateau on the banks of the Loire.

In the elegant wine and cigar bar, there are thousands of bottles of red wine in cellar. This professional wine storage environment with constant temperature and humidity is the choice of many wine collectors. Imagine that after a meal, a few good friends exchange glasses in the cigar bar and relax. Therefore, people of any age and status can have a perfect weekend under the care of "Bumblebee".

"Bumblebee" Jinling is meticulous and affectionate, and the water of Shengquan is pure and graceful. In CITIC Jinling, among the beautiful mountains and rivers, there is no gain or loss in life, only the indifference and comfort of being out of the world.

On this weekend of choice anxiety, everything is like music at the fingertips, short but beautiful; it is also like a gorgeous April day in the world, beautiful, almost like a fairy tale.

See you later when the peaches in the valley are ripe.
