Why is the Gubei Water Town located in Miyun, Beijing known as the "Northern Wuzhen" so popular?
Friends often ask me this, but I haven't been there before...
I was silently thinking in my heart, the north is the north, the south is the south, there is still a big gap...
However, this self-driving 3 days and 2 nights in-depth tour, through personal experience, has a new understanding of this Gubei Water Town with culture, characteristics, and high-quality and high-quality services, and highly evaluates it!
Itinerary summary, for reference only
The picture below shows a simple plan for this itinerary. It has been slightly adjusted according to the actual situation. It is just for your reference, because there will be some official activities in Gubei Water Town during the holidays. It is recommended that friends who want to play during the holidays contact the ancient town in advance Inquiring about the activities is also convenient for everyone to make various arrangements for their own itinerary in advance, so that they can have fun and play more fully.
For accommodation, it is recommended to book in advance
In Gubei Water Town, you can freely choose boutique hotels, themed hotels, and homestays based on your interests. But today I mainly recommend two newly opened boutique hotels, which I call "poetic dwellings"!
Firepit Hotel
The combination of Tibetan and modern, art and nature, humble and simple! If you don't tell you that this is a hotel, you will definitely feel that you have walked into a Tibetan museum, where Tibetan patterns and traditional symbols can be seen everywhere.
Spacious rooms, soft lighting, and furniture decoration style highlight Tibetan culture. Everything I saw was very familiar (because I have traveled to Tibetan areas many times...) The room I lived in was also the only big kang bed in this hotel.
The supporting facilities in the public area are also unique, fully considering the light and shadow and comfort. The stone fireplace reflects the orange fire light, and the decorations on the walls and cushions echo the Silk Road culture.
Mucheng Hotel
The simple European style with white as the main color is believed to be preferred by most people. This place fully meets everyone's traditional expectations for space: calm, restrained, and has a comfortable proportion! Fresh and elegant!
The area of the guest room is about 60-100 square meters. The moment you swipe the card to open the door, you feel that you are not staying in a hotel, but more like returning home. The same color tone, simple atmosphere, and breathing...
I especially like the floor-to-ceiling windows on the whole surface, the soft light and shadow cast by the warm sunlight when I wake up in the morning, and the mountains, streams, bushes, flowers and plants that can be seen when the curtains are opened... A beautiful day begins here!

Dawn yoga, hunting the aurora at the foot of the Great Wall
The world yoga master Iyengar said that the best time of day to practice yoga is at dawn, when you breathe in and out, you can experience the nature and purity of the unity of nature and man.
The energy consumed by practicing yoga on an empty stomach in the morning comes from fat, not muscle. After a night of rest and purification, the waste in the intestines and bladder has been removed. At this moment, nature gathers the most energy and is also the quietest time of the day , The mind is also awake without being disturbed, and can concentrate on yoga practice.

Is it too hot outside? indoor bowling
Although I don’t have time to play, bowling has an irresistible charm for me personally. Simple exercise can effectively make up for the inability to exercise under busy daily work, and effectively achieve the effect of exercise.
Bowling can effectively relieve and eliminate the pressure of work and life. Many people are under great pressure now, and exercise is a good way to reduce stress, but if you don't want to have a fierce collision with people in a ball game, then indoor sports bowling is a good choice.
