🌿 The ultimate summer retreat near Beijing❗️ Mountain forest pool + private hot springs are unbeatable~
Hey guys! Nestled in Mentougou's mountains is this dreamy homestay🏡. Open the window to 20,000㎡ of pristine forest, with cicadas singing and mountain breezes—lie in bed and watch the sea of clouds roll by✨.
🏊♀️【Summer-Only Joy】
The outdoor infinity pool is legendary! Soak in the water by day with mountain views, then fire up the grill by the pool at dusk—the aroma of grilled lamb chops mixed with the evening breeze is pure bliss! Kids can go wild in the treehouse slide at the playground, while moms finally get to unwind in the library📚.
🛏️【Next-Level Rooms】
All 20+ rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows! My room had a private hot spring tub—rose petals at night under a sky full of stars🌌. The bedding is cloud-soft, toiletries are premium, and even the minibar drinks are free!
🍲【Foodie Heaven】
Breakfast features freshly simmered millet porridge with mountain wild veggies—so good you’ll lick the bowl! Must-try: Clear Water Firepot Tofu, soaking up all the spicy broth, paired with iced plum juice for the perfect kick. The charcoal-grilled lamb chops (crispy outside, tender inside) require advance booking!
🚶【Nearby Fun】
✔️ Hike and splash in Longmen Gorge—streams so cold you can chill watermelons🍉
✔️ Stroll ancient Xidamo Village and pick wild apricots
✔️ Learn to make traditional kiln-fired tofu—fresh out of the oven, scalding but delicious
📍 Navigate to "Yinbei Damo" (1.5h from downtown). Don’t forget bug spray—sip tea under the stars at dusk, and fireflies will dance around the lights!🌌
