🌟 KULA Yoga Festival: A Secret Yoga Resort Hidden Deep in the Yanshan Mountains
From August 15th to 17th, Aranya's longtime friend, the KULA Yoga Festival, returns to Aranya Jinshanling. Embark on a journey to the mountains of faith, let the mountain breeze wash away fatigue, let the land nurture new life, listen to your inner voice, and awaken your primordial pulse.
Twenty representative star-inspired teachers from Spain, the United States, Australia, China, and other countries will gather in the valley to guide this journey, presenting over 40 mind-body exploration classes encompassing styles such as Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Power Yoga, and Sound Healing.
Practitioners at all stages of life and levels of practice can freely choose and flexibly arrange classes based on their interests and abilities. Through practical practice and understanding, they can enrich their souls and find answers to their own evolution.
🎵 Anaya Valley Concert Hall
From a distance, it resembles a meteorite plummeting into the valley. Designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, this concert hall, with its unique concrete texture, blends seamlessly into the mountain. As dusk falls, Bach's fugues are reflected in the hall's 1,600 handcrafted sound-absorbing panels. It's said that Kuma intentionally preserved natural rocks accidentally discovered during construction, creating a timeless dialogue between modern architecture and geological memory.
⛩️ Jinshanling Upper Courtyard
This complex, blending Japanese dry landscape architecture with the aesthetics of a northern courtyard, holds a heartwarming secret: a handwritten copy of "Yanshan Folk Tales" by a local elder sits on the desk in each guest room. In the morning, open the window to witness a sea of clouds sweeping over the ruins of the Ming Great Wall. On the terrace, built from Chengde's unique volcanic rock, you can enjoy a high-altitude oolong tea from Wuling Mountain, its aroma imbued with the uniquely robust flavor of the northern frontier.
🥩 The Story of Black Mountain Grill
This restaurant, renovated from a century-old stone mill, inherits a secret roasted lamb recipe brought out of the palace by the imperial chef during the reign of Emperor Kangxi. Old photos hang on the rough stone walls, documenting the 1970s, when nearby villagers secretly grilled wild game in this stone house to survive famine. Today, the chef's Jinshanling free-range lamb chops, smoked with fruit wood and paired with his own private wine made from wild grapes, offer the most authentic Luanping flavor. Be sure to reserve a window table three days in advance; the moonlit silhouette of the Great Wall is the perfect accompaniment.
🎨 y MOUNTAIN · Spanish Restaurant
Located in a mountaintop valley, y MOUNTAIN's foundation is supported by massive brick pillars. The brick pavilion's overall color palette, varying in depth and light, echoes the sedimentary landscape of the mountains, guiding families returning home from afar. Here, owner Yao Yang incorporates his longing for and understanding of the mountains into the development and preparation of new dishes, embodying the principle of "living by the mountain, enjoying the mountain." After dining, overlooking the expansive mountain scenery, a feeling of delight arises.
y MOUNTAIN, in collaboration with designer Xie Ke, has created an immersive living space for the restaurant. Low-hanging pendant lights cast a soft glow, creating an intimate atmosphere. Each table and chair is designed with a natural, simple, and classic aesthetic, effortlessly blending with the surroundings.
[HotSpring] Valley Hot Spring
High-quality spring water from the Jinshanling Valley, situated at an altitude of 900 meters, provides a quiet and warm sanctuary for a healing hot spring retreat in all seasons. As night falls over Jinshanling, soaking in the hot springs, you'll realize that this three-day, two-night adventure is an escape from the mundane and the beginning of self-transformation.
