Pinggu Campground

Located in a valley, the family-friendly Pinggu Campground is situated at the intersection of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei provinces. It is close to scenic areas such as Jinhai Lake, Jingdong Grand Canyon, Jingdong Cave, and Mount Pan, surrounded by mountains and enjoying a pleasant climate.

Crossing the campsite is one of the earliest luxury campsites in the suburban area of Beijing. It specializes in providing all-in-one camping experiences for families. When you come here for the weekend, you don't need to bring any camping equipment such as tents or canopies. The campsite offers fully equipped luxury tents, as well as ready-to-use facilities, delicious meals, and separate wet and dry bathrooms, making family travel less chaotic.

The campground also offers outdoor classes and children's activities. In the evening, the whole family can sit by the tent and gaze at the beautiful starry sky. Late at night, when the children are fast asleep, parents can enjoy some quality time together at the cabin bar or under the canopy.

Address: Northwest corner of the intersection of Xiada Road and Shanzigou Road, Xiagezhuang Town, Pinggu District.

A Hidden Small Town

The concept of "Dayin (hidden)" originated from the phrase "hiding in the wild, hidden in the city, and hidden in the court." The small town is located in Houheilongmiao Village, Zhangshanying Town, Yanqing District, with a total of 20 distinctive guesthouses. These include "Zhanyuan", a boat-shaped building made of red bricks, "Renran", an artistic space where nature and wind flow freely, and artistic courtyards with Moroccan and minimalist styles. All guesthouses can be reached within a 10-minute walk.

Driving there, you will pass through lush and picturesque scenery. Once you enter the small town, you will experience the tranquility and leisure of the countryside, along with cleanliness and a sense of design. Start by visiting the Mountain and Field Cafe for a refreshing iced coffee. The backyard resembles a Japanese grocery store, with cement tables, canvas bags on the walls, cups and dishes in the cabinets... Every object here carries a sense of warmth, enough to make the weekend for visitors enjoyable.
