Lost in Thought—Let All Your Worries Take a Backseat

The hustle and bustle of the city still lingers in your mind, and the never-ending to-do list refuses to fade away. Yet, your fingers have already honestly clicked on that name on the map—Daydream Inn. Just a two-hour drive from Beijing, and you can temporarily leave behind the anxiety of KPIs, the frustration of traffic jams, and all those trivialities.

Upon arrival, you’re immediately struck by the sight of this three-story white standalone building. It’s not large, but it feels like a meticulously crafted gem, quietly nestled amidst the lush greenery of the valley. You can sense a Scarpa-esque aesthetic here, with clean lines playing games with light and shadow. The space is open yet filled with thoughtful details. It’s not about exaggerated grandeur but about making every inch count—refined and practical.

Kids’ eyes light up instantly:
▪️ Indoors: Hidden within the high-ceilinged space is a mini playground! A big slide winds down from above, a reading nook is stacked with picture books, there’s a toy car track, and a caterpillar tunnel… Rainy or windy days? No problem, the fun never stops.
▪️ Outdoors: Step through the glass doors, and you’re greeted by a vacation vibe! Cloud-shaped swings and slides (which glow softly at night!), a sprawling lawn perfect for running wild, and a clear splash pool (moms, the lounge chairs under the parasols are ready for you—just relax!).
▪️ Courtyard & Rooftop: The private courtyard is ideal for unwinding, while the top-floor terrace offers unbeatable views—you can even spot the outline of the Mutianyu Great Wall! Barbecues, gatherings, stargazing—it’s all here.

Thoughtful touches: Walk slowly around corners—watch out for “cats flying out”!

Beyond daydreaming, the surroundings are fantastic to explore:
The inn thoughtfully provides a local travel map, and the “5-minute water play zone” is the biggest treasure!
Shentangyu Trail/Scenic Area, Guandi Village Creek: Perfect for hiking and splashing around, with scenery as beautiful as a painting.
Fanqi Road Water Play Route, Yanqi Lake Cycling Trail… all within a 15-minute drive.

Look, the sunset has dyed the cloud-shaped swing golden, a cat rubs against your feet, and your child’s water-splashed smile glows brightly… At this moment, the city feels far away, and “daydreaming” feels so close.
