Someone asked me if there are any B&Bs available in the suburbs of Beijing in winter, and would it be very cold and boring. People who have stayed in the city for a long time want to change their way of life, stay away from the crowd and noise, and find themselves in tranquility. Sort out your emotions and relax your mind.
Find the warmest place in Beijing
If you think the winter in the north is dark and cold, without any beauty at all, then you have not found the beauty like ink painting. A few days ago, I came to Yanqing with my family to experience the temperature in the suburbs and look for the warm sun in Baili Township in winter. Not to mention that we really found a fun place in winter, here we found sunbathing at the base of the wall, studying in elementary school with a book in hand, and running wild in the mountains. The memories of youth were instantly retrieved here. When climbing the mountain, I did not forget to pick up a handful of fluffy grass and make a bunch of beautiful and beautiful dried flowers.
The most primitive courtyard of Baili Xiangju, the warmest home
Baili Village is surrounded by stone courtyards, original wooden fences, adobe walls exuding earthy smell, and wooden doors without any decoration. The appearance of the village is so familiar and strange. The long-lost memory has been buried in my heart for many years, but it is slowly awakened in this quiet mountain village in winter.
The centuries-old trees, millstones, and ancient wells in the village have been completely preserved. The fruit trees in front of the door, the carvings on both sides of the roof, and the path paved with small stones seem to stand still here.
It takes about three hours to drive from Beijing. At this time, the mountains are already bare, but the persimmon trees on the roadside are still covered with fiery red Mopan persimmons. There are many persimmon sellers on the roadside, constantly selling to passers-by. If you don't come here, how can you see such an interesting scenery.
In the valley of Yanqing, I actually ate delicious food made by the chef of the state banquet
It was noon when we arrived at Baili Xiangju, just in time for lunch. The dishes in the Chinese restaurant here are quite high-end. The oatmeal and shrimp are not something ordinary chefs can cook. Later, I found out that the chef here once He is a state banquet chef. No wonder the dishes he cooks are so high-end. From the presentation to the ingredients, the taste is very good. Once you eat it, you will know that it is extraordinary.
Sitting in the small courtyard, drinking tea and basking in the sun, enjoying the leisure time in winter
After eating, the sun at noon is the warmest at this time, of course we can't miss the good opportunity to bask in the sun, drink tea and chat. A few people sat around in the small courtyard, and the warm winter sun warmed their bodies in a short while. Eat and drink enough, go for a walk in the village, Baili Township is really thoughtful for the guests who come here, in addition to the children's play area, there are also mountain bikes, if you like, you can ride around the Shili Gallery, You can enjoy the scenery and exercise.
The most beautiful elementary school in the village
Baili Xiangju is not just a homestay, it has become a leisure town, and the primary school in the village is the most worthwhile place to visit. This is an old elementary school, the appearance has not changed in any way, but inside it has a different world. After walking in, I realized that there are no children going to school here, and it has been transformed into a nostalgic and fashionable coffee book bar. The adobe walls are still the same, the big blackboards on the front and back walls are still there, and someone will meticulously publish a blackboard newspaper every day.
Drinking coffee, holding a favorite book, sitting quietly in the classroom, looking for the old time that belonged to me in the 1970s and 1980s.
Tired of reading the book, the few people holding the guitar couldn't help but cheer up. The long-lost feelings, the youthful frivolity, seemed to come back to them, and the out-of-key singing floated out of the window, echoing in the quiet valley.
Only a few people can have fun together. This is the most pleasant leisure vacation in the mountains. No one will limit whether your noise will affect others. Some are just the response of the mountain, welcoming you here in the most peaceful way. For everyone who needs relaxation.
Make a bouquet of beautiful flowers for yourself in your spare time
We didn't bring our children this time, and we still had fun without children. It seemed that there was less entanglement and more freedom. If you want to bring your children, you must go to the children's paradise. It's a bit cold outside, so you can accompany your children to do handicrafts indoors. Randomly pick some dried grasses and dead branches in the mountains, and paint them with colorful watercolors. After a while, a bunch of beautiful dried flowers will appear in front of you. Find a beautiful vase or earthen pot and insert it. It looks really beautiful. . It is not inferior to the flowers bought in the flower shop.
Small hot pot is the best gift in winter mountains
Playing in the mountains seemed to pass quickly, and soon it was time for dinner. In the evening, the restaurant prepared a small hot pot for each person. It was hot, and it was best to eat in winter. The beef and mutton slices are all cut by the restaurant itself. We don’t like spicy food, so we want clear soup with seafood, fresh vegetables, and springy pee beef balls, which are heart-warming and stomach-warming. The hawthorn juice brewed by Baili Xiangju is really delicious, especially when eating hot pot, a bottle of appetizing hawthorn juice is wonderful.
Both fitness and health
It's getting dark after dinner, isn't it great to exercise after dinner? Don't worry, Baili Township has already had a gym. Not only can you do strength training here, but you can also play billiards. Friends who like to be quiet may wish to challenge the fun of playing with Lego toys when they were young on the Lego Wall, and see if their IQ has degenerated, haha! I feel that I can only arrange them horizontally and vertically one by one.
Nuannuan Kengtou retrieves the long-lost memory
A happy day in this mountain seems to have passed in an instant. When we returned to the room at night, the thoughtful housekeeper had prepared a cup of warm fresh milk for us. He did not forget to drink it while it was hot, so as to supplement calcium to help us sleep. This time we lived in a big bed room, the one with a kang, and there is a small kang table for drinking tea on the kang in the room, sitting cross-legged, drinking tea, chatting and cracking melon seeds, haha, interesting. This is the feeling of home I'm looking for. The bathroom is separated from wet and dry, 24-hour hot water, and toiletries are all five-star standards, which is what a warm home should be like.
It's not the alarm clock that wakes me up in the morning, but the crowing rooster. The first ray of warm sun undisguisedly sprinkled on my forehead through the wooden lattice window, which made me unable to open my eyes, but the warmth made me enjoy this moment very much. Stretching lazily, how long have I not experienced such a day, I am really reluctant to get up, sleep until the sun is high, lie in the bed warmly basking in the sun, let the time pass by the fingertips, let the warm sun stay forever by your side.
The time of vacation is always so short. Being carefree in the mountains will make people lazy. The fast-paced life of urban people sometimes requires proper laziness. The only way is to leave Sijiu City and come to Yanqing. After a few days of laziness in the mountains, Baili Xiangju is a place that can make people happy and lazy.
Leaving heralds the next reunion, and the Baili Country House in winter is more suitable for meditation, recuperation, and a quiet daze.
