Without leaving Beijing, drive 2 hours to a hidden suburban camping spot

Turn off your phone for 48 hours here
No need for guides, no need for planning
Want to go wild?
Look, this big lawn here, I can roll around freely
We’re not in Switzerland, we’re on Bibo Island at Jin Hai Lake in Beijing!
Staying at Jin Hai Lake for these 2 days
Hide your phone, I want to fully enjoy the sunshine and soil
In the evening, paddleboard chasing the sunset
The infinity pool at dusk, every ripple seems to tell a story
Run and roll freely on the big lawn in Weilan Valley
Bring a moisture-proof mat, and you can lie down anywhere
Sunbathe, naturally without tanning beds!
Sit cross-legged under the trees in the morning, meditate and do yoga,
No need for phone to play ambient sounds
Cicadas and birdsong are the natural BGM
Swing the club, here the fun of water golf is watching the splash on the lake surface when the ball hits
Bibo Island relaxation tips:
The park is quite large, you can walk to various places or take the shuttle bus, the hotel front desk will help call the shuttle bus
If you like morning runs, bring a pair of running shoes, it’s a pity not to run on the greenway here!
You can camp overnight here
Or stay at the hotel, Hotel One is very American style, rooms are super large, perfect for vacation
The infinity pool is in front of the yacht hotel, you must pass the dock to get there, the park signs are a bit off
Dinner closing time is a bit early, check the notice board time when you check in (we almost missed dinner after watching the sunset)
