Just 1.5h from Beijing, my friends all thought I went to Lijiang!

Weekends drained by work, wanting to escape the city without the crowds? A 1.5-hour drive takes you straight to the "Little Lijiang of Beijing's Suburbs". Perfect for burnt-out office workers, girls' getaways, or family outings – all needs met at once! V A fairytale cluster of wooden cottages nestled in the valley, built against the mountains with lush greenery right outside your window. V A lake reflecting green hills, shimmering under sunlight – perfect for boating and fishing. V Dense shade and misty vapors make it about 5°C cooler than downtown, with refreshing vibes overflowing from your screen. V Dozens of flowers bloom in the woods. Walking through the hydrangea path feels like stumbling into Alice's Wonderland. V Many artful designs make every snapshot Instagram-worthy. V On-site dining available – delicious BBQ and crayfish, plus great coffee. Tired? Rest in a 270° panoramic wooden cottage. V Pet-friendly and family-friendly (stroller accessible). About this place: Location: Qichilinquan Wild Garden Resort Camp, Pinggu District. Transportation: Just a 1.5-hour drive from downtown. Top photo spots: 1. Wooden cottages: Post these shots and everyone will think you're vacationing in Lijiang! Window frames surrounded by flowers and dolls create fairytale compositions. 2. Bird's nest cottage: Romantic rose waterfall outside; first-floor window frames with afternoon sunlight create perfect filters for maximum atmosphere. Enjoy afternoon tea or DIY crafts here. 3. Six Trees Cottage: A tree trunk bursts through the roof, bringing storybook elf houses to life. Lotus leaves dance in the pond outside while wooden boats gently sway. 4. Ordering area: The creek and wooden bridge nearby overflow with long-blooming hydrangeas and orange roses – 200% photo-ready. 5. Multi-functional area: Mist drifts across wooden walkways as fairytale peaked-roof cottages hide among hydrangeas. Wear white for instant Alice in Wonderland movie magic. Nearby attractions (1-2 day itinerary options): Yaji Mountain: Ancient temple on cloud-sea stairs, resembling the Hanging Temple (25km away). Xiyu Reservoir: Beijing's "Little Erhai" – scenic and uncrowded. Hike the opposite mountain for a "sea view from summit" experience (8km away). Jinhai Lake: Beijing's "Little Switzerland" – great for camping, family outings, and cycling.
