Besides Beidaihe, there are numerous tranquil islands at Beijing suburbs that top your getaway list to enjoy life without delay.

• Puti Island

Puti Island, also Shijiùtuo or Shijiǔtuo, was renamed as Puti Island in 2000. This is the very site where Sakyamuni was enlightened and became a Buddha beneath one of the hundreds of Bodhi trees on the island, and that is where its name came from. As one of the Three Leting Islands and the largest one in North China, the Island is home to more than 260 plants of at least 98% coverage and is known as “a nature zoo and botanical garden above sea” accompanied by many relics of ancient temples like Chaoyin Temple and Chaoyang Temple. The Island is immersed in Buddhism culture revealed in every corner here. The island is in development and free of crowds and noise, so you can take your time riding a bike wandering through secluded green shade, picking flowers for your room decoration, bathing in sunshine on the beach, and you will marvel that all places here are so peaceful! And this is the right time to enjoy spectacular scenes with thousands of birds singing and flocking to live here.
