One house, two dogs, three meals, four seasons.
This is the life I pursue and yearn for.
At the end of the summer when the sky is high and cloudy, I brought Tutu with a group of friends to Chicheng's rural residence in a green and colorful farmhouse, making my wish come true in a corner of the world.
Although it was only two days, it was enough to comfort the soul for a long time.
"Yan" means sparkling water. The green farmhouses in Xinxue Guoju Tourism Project Resort are located in the countryside, where there are many mountains and vast green fields. It is really a "green" world.
There is no busyness and hustle and bustle, no buildings and traffic. The wooden houses and tents built against the mountains are distributed among the quiet villages. Green is the main color here, and insects and birds are the most beautiful sound here.
What is rural life like? The picture in front of you is the answer.
Vacation is a way of life here.
The homestay provides butler-style services, and the butlers are all hired local residents to help them get out of poverty and find jobs.
When I arrived at the reserved duplex wooden house, the housekeeper had already prepared welcome fruits and snacks in the room in advance.
The Nordic-style loft looks very good, which is what I like. It is simple and stylish, and it is exquisitely reflected in every detail of the room. The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows give you a panoramic view of the outside scenery.
The comfortable bedding comparable to that of a five-star hotel relieved me from the exhaustion of the journey and made me sleepless all night.
Fairytale-like bubble tents are scattered among the green fields, and you can watch the starry sky and listen to the rain while lying on the bed.
There is also a three-bedroom tent on the hillside, with its own backyard, where several generations can enjoy family happiness.
The grass here is Tutu's favorite. Sunshine and lawn, running and having fun, a wild horse lives in Tutu's heart.
And it eats the morning with me in the morning sun, and watches the sunset with me at dusk, these are my favorite moments.
In addition to comfortable guest rooms, exquisite and light luxury holidays cannot be without gourmet food. However, I was pleasantly surprised that such a rural B&B hides a Michelin-level restaurant.
The chefs of the restaurant come from high-end hotels such as Waldorf Astoria, Yihe Amman, and some from Germany. They have ambitions and hope to build this place into a Michelin-starred restaurant.
"Life Terminal" is a terminal with a very sense of design. It was designed by Mr. Ou Hui, the founder and chief designer of the famous Hong Kong Poetry Architects. It can be reached in about 15 minutes by car from the hotel.
Ivo’s Yiwo Italian restaurant is here. This glass restaurant in the valley is decorated in a comfortable and pleasant style. The high floor-to-ceiling windows enjoy an unparalleled mountain view. Looking at the bright crystal lamps and flickering candles, you suddenly feel like a European nobleman.
Here you can customize the menu according to your taste. Worthy of being a chef from a top hotel, he made full use of local red millet specialties and high-end ingredients such as abalone and Boston lobster to turn each dish into a work of art, presenting a double enjoyment of vision and taste.
The Luyuan Icewine Tasting Hall of Luyan Farm is a few minutes' walk from the B&B. This building was also designed by Mr. Ou Hui and won an international architectural award.
Against the backdrop of the green hills, this building is particularly conspicuous, and its white appearance is full of modernity.
Standing on the top of the building, the criss-cross railings have a sense of time and space travel.
The basement is a wine cellar, which stores local self-produced ice wine and imported wine.
Don't miss the ice wine in the restaurant~ This is an Italian winemaker who has overcome the barriers of difficult ice wine brewing technology and high production difficulty. It is processed and brewed with high-quality local grape varieties in Huailai.
The restaurant on the first floor is elegantly and luxuriously decorated, much like a high-end private club. Through the large glass windows, you can have a panoramic view of the paradise scenery of the green farm.
The ingredients are fresh and exquisite, and the fusion of Chinese and Western methods. From appetizers to main courses to desserts, it is a feast on the tip of the tongue.
Midsummer is over, the sun is no longer blazing, the light and shadow of the goblet slant on the table, the soothing music and the aroma of food are flowing in the air. Drinking a glass of ice wine by the window, at this moment, I seem to have returned to Tuscany under the bright sun.
As night fell, the BBQ ladder climbing that my friends and I were looking forward to began. That’s right, a country vacation is incomplete without a barbecue~
The homestay will provide fresh vegetables, meat and barbecue tools, and the little partner is a good barbecue expert. Let's drink and chat together under the starry sky lights, forget all the troubles and troubles, and just be happy at this moment.
How long have you not seen fireworks?
In the silent night, we lighted bunches of fairy sticks, shining like stars in the night sky, and recorded the most splendid moment in the camera and in our hearts, making this piece of light the happiest and joyful existence in this world.
There is also a small and grass animal residence in Lvyan Farm.
The small green house is full of childlike innocence, and there are many cute animals inside. You can get close to it with the company of the staff. If you bring children on vacation, you must not miss this place.
The owner of the Xinxue Country Travel Project Resort where the B&B is located is a person with great dreams, and hopes to build it into a comprehensive area integrating vacation, life, education and other multi-plate content.
In the near future, the terminal building will be put into use for private jets and business jets. On the top of the mountain there will be the only intercontinental ski resort around Beijing that can achieve a drop of 800 meters within a length of 3,000 meters. In the middle of the mountain there will be the same ski resort as Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. Holiday mansions, hospitals, schools will be built here...
Seeing the sand table of the project in the "airport of life", standing on the airstrip and looking at the mountains in front of me, I seem to be able to imagine its beautiful future.
Taking snow as a dream, people who have dreams are great, and people who can do everything to realize their dreams are even greater. I'm looking forward to seeing it slowly grow and become whole, to provide a resting place for those who, like me, are unable to realize some of the dreams in our hearts, so that we can stop, if only for a short moment, and live a life like today. Back to the life we yearn for.
【Warm Tips】
1. Traffic
The B&B is about a 3-hour drive from Beijing and 6 kilometers from Chongli. You can reach it by searching for "Lvyan Farm" or "Lvyan Farm".
2. If you dine in two western restaurants, you can contact the hotel in advance to confirm the menu. Our two lunch sets are 7-8 dishes per person, and the price is about 650 yuan per person, for reference. The BBQ price is 158 yuan per person, including all semi-finished ingredients (barbecue tools and carbon need to be paid separately).
3. In the mountains, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the ultraviolet rays are strong during the day, so you should take good care of sun protection and pay attention to adding or removing clothes.
4. Pets are allowed in the B&B, but please pay attention to raising dogs in a civilized manner, picking up poop on a leash, and paying attention to the behavior of dogs in public places (such as restaurants, etc.) so as not to affect other guests.
