Foggy Ling Mountain·Aranya, the little Karuizawa on the outskirts of Beijing, gives me a sense of relaxation as an adult
The Lan Ye Hotel is located between picturesque mountains and rivers, with a beautiful environment and fresh air. As soon as I entered the hotel lobby, I was attracted by the elegant atmosphere, the gorgeous decoration, and the spacious and bright space instantly caught my eye.
The room was even more surprising, with a door that opens to a magnificent seascape, as if I was in a fairy tale world. The decor style is simple and atmospheric, making one feel very comfortable, and the bedding is soft.
There are many attractions near the hotel, and I visited the nearby ancient town and waterfall. The ancient town has a unique architectural style, quaint and charming; the waterfall cascades down with great momentum. It's truly a feast for the eyes! If you like outdoor sports, then this place will definitely meet your needs. There are various activities such as hiking and cycling near the hotel,
Near the hotel, there is a beautiful beach where I prepared a pair of comfortable shoes and started a romantic beach hiking journey! Along the way, there are stretches of sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, rows of lifelike palm trees, and an ancient and mysterious castle, just like something out of a fairy tale! I climbed the stone steps of the castle, approaching the traces of history step by step. Standing at the top of the castle, I overlooked the beautiful scenery of the entire city.

Valentine's Day! Anaya Fog Ling Mountain | Check-in
| Check-in.
Valentine's Day coincides with the Chinese New Year period. I made plans with my girlfriends to take the kids out for the holiday. I've been wanting to visit Anaya Fog Ling Mountain for its hot springs and because I've always liked Anaya in Qinhuangdao since my last visit. It did not disappoint upon arrival! Although we were almost exhausted from traveling on the first day, we got to experience the communal bath that evening and had a wonderful night's rest. The next day was Valentine's Day, and we enjoyed a spa in the morning, which was so relaxing I almost fell asleep. In the afternoon, we booked a private bath, and the outdoor private bath was truly comfortable. My friends all said they really liked it, and I'm glad we booked in advance. I highly recommend the outdoor private bath, loved it! I really think the hotel service is great. Our butler, Shao Sihan, was especially good. During these three days and two nights of travel, she was very responsive to our needs and even proactively asked if we needed any snacks or drinks replenished. Seeing that we all had babies with us, she thoughtfully applied for a free parent-child park experience in advance.
Anaya, I'll come again!
The grass always needs to be pulled out! Lan Ye is also bound to come!
I've set the date several times, and finally, it has arrived!
Location:
It takes about 5 or 6 minutes to drive from the hotel to the entrance of the Wuling Mountain scenic area. Wuling Mountain has been closed for a long time, and if it can be opened in summer, I might come back for another visit. The last time I went to Miyun Xinchengzi, I felt that Wuling Mountain was quite nice, but the scenic area near Yaoqiaoyu was also closed, and I've never been able to enter. The hotel and the location of phase one are okay; I went to see the showrooms of phase three, and all I want to say is 'hehe'. Overall, it's far behind the Beidaihe area.
Transportation:
I drove here, which took 2 hours and 28 minutes; the return trip took nearly 3 hours! Half of the journey was on national highways, passing through Xinglong County and various villages. The new expressway is said to open in September, which will save a lot of time!
Hotel:
I booked a two-bedroom suite on the sixth floor. The balcony two-bedroom suites are also on the sixth floor, only three rooms. Next time, I will book one with a balcony for more space. Currently, there is only one hotel, and you can also book homestays on the app, but hotels are more convenient. The resort has one hot spring, one canteen, three restaurants, a bakery, and a coffee shop~
Dining:
I'll write a separate piece
Hot Springs:
Private hot springs are quite hard to book; you need to reserve 3-4 days in advance, and there are only 5 rooms, which is a bit in short supply~ There are more people on weekends.
I soaked in the public hot spring, which was also nice when it was empty😌 After soaking, I went to the tea room to drink free 🆓 milk 🥛 and hawthorn water brewed by Xiao Ye, which was quite comfortable!
tips: There's not much to do in the dead of winter when coming here, as the infrastructure and amenities are not great, and the resort is not very big. It's nice to bask in the afternoon sun and have a coffee, and that's about it~ Wait until the expressway opens, and in summer, I might come back to stay for a couple more days to relax~
Reap a sense of peace and satisfaction unlike that of the city!

Tianzi Mountain Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Tianzi Mountain
Tianzi Mountain, originally named Qingyan Mountain, has an elevation of 1262.5 meters. It was named after an ancient Tujia ethnic leader, Xiang Dakun, who led a local peasant uprising and proclaimed himself as 'Tianzi' (Son of Heaven).
The scenic trail is over 20 kilometers long, with 69 rocky bends and 84 viewing platforms along the way. Tianzi Mountain is most famous for its 'sunrise', 'sea of clouds', 'red moon', 'winter snow', 'red leaves', and 'grand peak forest', offering a spectacular view. There are more than 80 representative attractions, including Imperial Writing Peak, Fairy Scattering Flowers, Point General Platform, Shentang Bay, and He Long Park, with a touring time of 1.5 to 2 hours.
The so-called 'Who can recognize the face of the Son of Heaven, upon return, one shall not bother with the mountains under heaven.' Tianzi Mountain Natural Ecological Tourism Area is a true green natural oxygen bar. Here, the forest coverage rate exceeds 90%, and the concentration of negative oxygen ions in the air reaches 20,000 per cubic centimeter, making it akin to a natural respirator! The average summer temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius, with abundant rainfall and a cool climate, as well as a rich variety of species.

The Tianzi Mountains in China’s Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and the surrounding Wulingyuan Scenic Area offer visitors a chance to experience some of the most stunning natural landscapes and cultural heritage in China.

With a little planning and preparation, you can make the most of your visit to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park and create memories that will last a lifetime.
If you’re fascinated by the natural scenery of the Avatar movie and also want to physically experience it, then you need to visit the Zhangjiajie mountains in China.
The Tianzi Mountains are famous for their iconic peaks, which inspired the floating Hallelujah Mountains in the blockbuster movie Avatar. The most famous of these peaks is the pillar-like formation called the Southern Sky Column, which stands 1,080 meters tall. To get a bird’s-eye view of the Avatar Mountains, take a cable car up to the summit of Tianzi Mountain. From there, you can see panoramic views of the park’s peaks and valleys.
Another must-see peak is the Yuanjiajie Scenic Area, which is home to the Bailong Elevator, the world’s tallest outdoor elevator. The elevator takes visitors up 326 meters to a viewing platform at the top of a sheer cliff face. From there, you can take in stunning views of the surrounding peaks and forests.

Jiulongtan Natural Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
National Day recommends niche play places @The Wizard of Oz in the valley, Little Jiuzhaigou
So close and so beautiful, go to Hebei on the weekend.
How many people don't know the good summer resort in Beijing and Tianjin, the stream and pool are paired with watermelon, it's so cool.
In Xinglong County, Chengde City, near the junction of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, there is a Jiulongtan. It seems to be a huge natural oxygen bar. The dense forest and the stream are all summer memories. Moreover, the pool water is clear and bottomless, like a small Jiuzhaigou in the north. Let's abandon the air conditioner this weekend and hide in the natural oxygen bar for "forest" breathing.
