After driving past Exit 14 (Huairou District), I find the traffic is thinning out. The four lane expressway is a good chance to exercise our car used with limited high-speed in downtown Beijing.

Before 8:00am, we reach the entrance to the Chateau Changyu AFIP Global. It is a little overcast and the sun is shily hidden behind white clouds. Behind the huge gate is the Reception Center. Chang Yu Wine Products are on sales and display. Chateau Changyu AFIP Global now has become AAAA national key scenic area in China.
