This resort is today's Huidu, the Beijing Yanqi Hotel that once held the APEC meeting.
More friends will know the round "Beijing Sunrise Kempinski Hotel" next to it, like a sun rising on the horizon. In fact, Beijing Yanqi Hotel and it belong to the Kempinski Hotel manage.
In January, the hotel has already entered the costumes for the Spring Festival, and it is booming everywhere, filled with a lively atmosphere.
The check-in speed at the front desk was very fast, and he told us very intimately that the four cans of drinks in the small refrigerator are free, and how to connect to the Wi-Fi in the room is everything.
The hotel is divided into guest rooms and villas in the main building, and we live in the main building.
The ground in the suburbs of Beijing is always so wide, and the space of the hotel is also extraordinarily spacious.
【Famous House Deluxe Room】
The room I stayed in was Yanqi Hotel's Mingxuan Deluxe Lake View Double Room. The room was super spacious, with a full area of 67 square meters. This area is equivalent to 1.5 times the standard room of a five-star hotel.
The two-meter bed is enough for a family of three to sleep at the same time, and it is fluffy and comfortable. Looking at the cold weather outside the window, you can feel the warmth inside the house.
There is an independent dressing room, a spacious bathroom with separate showers and showers, and a toilet. There are many toiletries, as well as intimate sewing kits and comfortable cotton slippers. Coke, Fanta and other drinks in the small refrigerator are all free, and the service staff also delivered a fruit plate with beautiful colors and white chocolate printed with the landmark buildings of Yanqi Island.
Sitting on the bed and watching HBO and other foreign movie channels are super beautiful, taking a bath at night, and listening to the sound of movies on the speakers in the bathroom, this is the best vacation life.
【conference Center】
I have listened to the APEC meeting countless times. What kind of places can hold the meeting? When you come to Yanqi Island, you must not miss the most important places to visit.
The prototype of the armchair in the conference center was used by Emperor Qianlong, and the original is now displayed in the Qianlong study in the Forbidden City in Beijing. The seats are designed according to the height and weight of the leaders of various countries, ensuring that they are all at the same height when sitting, which is very particular. The current chairs are no longer used for meetings at that time.
The carpet under your feet is a whole piece of pure wool imported from New Zealand and is hand-woven. It is not spliced and weighs 8 tons. Dozens of people manually carried it in and paved it manually. Only then did we know that this is the largest carpet in the world.
There are wood carvings on the wall behind the chairs, and the flowers on the 18 pillars are not the same, but are hand-painted by the artist.
The large wood-carved screen "Splendid China" is about 9 meters long and 4 meters high. It is a masterpiece of Lu Guangzheng, a national super master of arts and crafts and successor of Dongyang woodcarving. More than 100 workers took one year to complete the carving. It is now in the Ningbo Museum.
The chandelier on top is Swarovski crystals.
【Yanqi Pagoda】
Yanqi Pagoda is the most conspicuous building on the island. It has nine floors in total. It is a pavilion-style pagoda with the image of a traditional Chinese pagoda.
There is an elevator in the tower, which is convenient for visitors to visit the tower.
The first floor is the lobby, the sixth floor is the main sightseeing floor, and the ninth floor is the highest sightseeing spot of Yanqi Island.
Yanqi Pagoda is a cultural tower, and the "Yanqi Fu" is engraved in the stele pavilion in the pagoda courtyard, written by well-known scholars Zhou Duwen and Cai Shiping, and written by famous calligrapher Yang Zaichun.
Yanqi Pagoda makes Yanqi Lake Scenic Area and Yanqi Island more like a scenic spot with cultural atmosphere and cultural heritage.
In the villas on the island, there is a house with a tower view to see the Yanqi Tower. The blue rhyme under the sunset is very quiet and beautiful.
The villas on the island can be rented out as a whole, which is convenient for meetings and group building organizations.
【Lake Palace Yanqi Hotel Guanlanxuan Chinese Restaurant】
After the visit, it was time for dinner. The Guanlanxuan Chinese Restaurant, located on the first floor of the hotel, was once a movie location. Combining the ancient charm of Chinese style with modern comfort, it produces delicacies from all over the world, including excellent Anhui cuisine.
Stewed fish maw with matsutake, Macao roasted pork platter, fresh river prawns soaked in oil, Shanghai style snowflake beef, Anhui-style stinky mandarin fish are both beautiful and delicious. I highly recommend boiled bamboo shoots with bacon, boneless Sichuan-style spicy chicken, and pumpkin with lily buckle. The staple food must be handmade pancakes with lobster soup and spinach noodles. The soup has a deep taste.
Outside the window of the restaurant in the evening, there is a blue that is about to enter the night. Soon, the night was silent, and standing by the lake, you could see the beautiful figure of the Oriental Kempinski Hotel at sunrise.
[Entertainment: Children's Paradise + Gym + Spa]
When it's cold outside, adults and children have a place to vent in the hotel.
The spacious multi-item fitness center and the oversized swimming pool are open from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm every day.
Children's favorite kids club is from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm.
Hard-working adults can choose to relax at Kempinski Spa from 1:00 pm to 10:00 pm.
【Waterside Yanqi Hotel·Shuitiange Western Restaurant】
You have to sleep late when staying in a hotel, but some hotels end at 9:30 or 10, so how can you sleep well.
The Shuitiange Western Restaurant on the first floor of Yanqi Hotel lasts from 6:30 to 10:30, so you can sleep late.
The restaurant is located on the first floor of the hotel. Sitting by the window, you can see the lake view and have a wide view.
The meals are rich, with both Chinese and Western food. There are super delicious big wontons, various dairy products, juices, porridge...
Breakfast is generally the most comfortable and most anticipated meal in a hotel, so enjoy it.
【Sunrise Kempinski Hotel Beijing】
Do you still remember that when you walked past Yanqi Lake a few years ago, in this place where we grew up, there was a strange building rising from the ground, as if a round cake rose from the lake. Speaking of Yanqi Lake now, the first thing we think of is not the beautiful lake, but this hotel that we can finally find out. The sunrise in the east is its name and its appearance, as if a red sun rises in the sky. horizon.
Sunrise East is only 60 kilometers away from the downtown area of Beijing. It took only an hour to drive here on the Jingcheng Expressway, leaving the smoggy city center and heading for the embrace of nature.
The most eye-catching thing in the hotel lobby is the oncoming landscape Swarovski crystal curtain, which forms a scene of layers of mountains.
The front desk service is very meticulous, patiently telling guests the breakfast time. And it's the first time I've seen a hotel prepare steps for children, so that children can also climb up to talk to the front desk. I still remember going to a small shop when I was a child. Because I was short, I couldn't see what it looked like in the freezer. I could only smell the fragrance of popsicles and imagine it. When I grew up, I never smelled such a good ice cream. I got taller, time passed, and the beauty was gone.
【hotel room】
The style of the hotel is different from Yanqi Hotel. The round cake-shaped building has everything you need, and it is more luxurious, reducing the business atmosphere. The corridors are spacious, and there are large public areas on multiple floors, lighting and sofas, and the artistic and design sense of the background wall.
The room is atmospheric and continues the artistic atmosphere. There are many functional lights such as atmosphere lights and lighting lights, and each has its own uses.
The chandelier has a Chinese style. I noticed that there is a small mechanism at the head of the bed. When you press it, it becomes a mini bedside reading light, which is very cute. And the charging port is right next to the bed, which is very convenient.
Although the guest room is generally square, and the bathroom and toilet are also in the usual positions, the layout is varied through the interval between two sliding doors, which can be connected with the bedroom or the hallway. It can also be turned off to keep it private.
The bathroom is divided into a separate shower and a bathtub. You can take a bath in the bathroom in cold weather. The bathroom also has a speaker system, which will not delay listening to TV programs.
If you come with children, it is best to choose a children's room. There are several themes. The one I saw was Super Wings and the Flying Pig theme.
The area is very large, and it is a suite between the inside and outside. The whole set of bathroom supplies has been replaced with a children's theme, and children will definitely like it.
The living room outside has a large sofa and small slide, TV.
I remember that year, in the evening, looking out the window, it was a white lake, and the snow had not yet melted. The setting sun burned the sky purple, and the smoke from the cooking rose.
【Magnolia Kempinski Hotel Lanxiangge Chinese Restaurant】
Settle your luggage and it's time for lunch.
There are many restaurants in Sunrise Kempinski, and we chose our favorite Chinese food, which not only has delicious food from all over the country, especially authentic Cantonese food, but also local grilled rainbow trout in Huairou.
When I was young, whether I came to Huairou with my dad’s friends, or later by my own car, grilled rainbow trout was a must for dinner, and I even made a special trip for it.
Also recommended are morel stewed chicken soup, golden roasted goose emperor, fried shrimp balls with hundreds of flowers, first-class beef tendon and bone with black pepper, fried pigeon breast with fresh mushrooms, grilled rainbow trout, magnolia in ginger sauce, bamboo shoots soaked in vegetables, fried rice with chicken cubes in abalone sauce.
There will always be a good-looking hotel shape on the plate, whether it is a swan crisp fruit plate, or fried jade belt with XO sauce.
【Yijing Restaurant】
This may be the highest restaurant in Huairou. It is located on the 21st floor, the highest point of the hotel. It is hazy and romantic at night, very emotional.
What can you do with your time in the hotel?
In the afternoon, we visited boutiques at the big fish mouth of the hotel and took pictures here. Outside Yuzui is the dam of the lake, and the sun is just right. Looking at this strange building from this angle, I find it even more spectacular and shocking.
The fitness facilities include outdoor tennis courts, gymnasium, 26-meter swimming pool, leisure area, rest pool with both hot and cold, sauna and steam room.
Children also have a place to go, Sunrise Oriental Children's Paradise (no charge), there are adults to help take care of it, there are swimming pools, lessons and painting.
【Lobby Lounge Afternoon Tea】
If you are tired from shopping, go back to the hotel lobby to rest. The lobby bar has European-style afternoon tea, as well as tea and alcoholic beverages, such as cocktails and champagne. There are also all kinds of good-looking gummies and ice cream that children will love.
Scone is still hot out of the oven.
【Plana Brewery】
If you want to eat western food, you must go to the Prana Brauhaus. Its name is well known. I have eaten and drank it in two places in the city. Needless to say, the horizontal dishes of authentic German food are just Prana beer. , it is not something you can drink in ordinary places, let alone ordinary beer.
Wheat beer and yellow beer, available in 300ml, 500ml, and one liter. Even if it's a girl, it's okay to drink a small one. Its taste is refreshing, like a drink, and tastes like liquid bread, but you will know it later, it will subvert your impression of daily beer
In the end, the restaurant will give desserts to all the guests who come to the restaurant, and the chef will come out of the trolley and divide them for everyone.
【Kempinski SPA】
To relax your body and mind, there is nothing better than going to the hotel's SPA and letting the masseuse bring you the comfort you can sleep in.
The massage therapist is professional and professional, and I feel comfortable. I really want to fall asleep. The 80 minutes feel like it will pass in a while.
【Element Western Restaurant】
The hotel's breakfast restaurant Element Western Restaurant is the same as Yanqi Hotel. Breakfast is from 6:30 to 10:30, and you can sleep in comfortably, relax in your busy life, and sleep until you wake up naturally.
When I came to the cafeteria on the 2nd floor, I was pleasantly surprised. The variety of meals is better than that of Yanqi Hotel.
The variety is complete and replenished in time. There are many kinds of food that I want to put on my plate, and I have an idea. It takes a few times to try it all. I hope to come again in the future.
Breakfast is definitely more invigorating and anticipating than any other meal.
The drink area is impressive. Whole milk, semi-skimmed milk, and skimmed milk are particularly rich in options. There are also many yogurt flavors, such as mango, blueberry, strawberry, and original flavor...
In Huairou Cuisine, there are snacks such as tofu nao, how much you can mix with marinade, soy milk, hot milk, porridge, which nourishes the stomach and tastes delicious.
Cheerios is a childhood memory, a brown-haired doll is drawn on a cardboard box, there is an opening on the side of the box and it will be poured out, one circle after another is eaten on the finger... Now this The packaging is gone, but the taste of this cereal is still the same.
For me, a breakfast with sauced tofu is called breakfast. Comfortable rice porridge, hot noodle soup, fruits, dairy products, a dizzying feast.
In fact, we came here this time because of the Yanqi·Ice and Snow Holiday package, the price is much cheaper than usual, starting at 1688 yuan, including one night in the room, two breakfasts at the Element Western Restaurant, and a full day for two at the Huaibei International Ski Resort the next day ski pass. Buying a ski ticket alone costs 200 per person, so it's worth it.
【ski】
Skiing, also known as white opium, is an addictive sport. In recent years, I have discovered that more and more friends around me are hidden skiing experts. Some have been skiing for ten years, and some have been skiing for even longer, starting from a few years old.
We have been to the ski resorts in the suburbs of Beijing, Hebei and Changbai Mountain, and we were really impressed by their heroic demeanor.
Beijing Huaibei International Ski Resort is one of the earliest ski resorts in Beijing and the most beautiful ski resort in China and even in the world.
It is only a few minutes drive from the hotel, very close.
Huaibei International Ski Resort is located in Jiugukou Natural Scenic Area, 5 kilometers north of Yanqi Lake. This scenic spot is a national AAA-level scenic spot.
, built in 2000, is one of the earliest ski resorts in Beijing, the only ski resort registered as "international" in Beijing, and the only ski resort in Beijing with "operating in four seasons". There are three cable cars (the only ski resort in Beijing with cable cars for primary ski trails), four towing trails, one "magic carpet" and seven ski trails (one advanced trail, three intermediate trails, four elementary trails, and one ski park).
This winter, this Spring Festival, in the face of twice as expensive overseas travel and even more expensive domestic travel, it is better to live a comfortable New Year at your doorstep without leaving Beijing, and experience the unforgettable Kempinski European luxury Life and winter trips.
