It's raining in Beijing, why not go to Yanqing to avoid the rain?
🛏 【️Beijing Jinyu Badaling Holiday Inn Express Hotel Check-in Guide】
📌 Hotel Overview
❶. Comprehensive evaluation: All 31 InterContinental hotels in the capital have been visited, and the two InterContinental hotels in Yanqing are no exception: Brilliant Holiday Resort has changed its name to Club Med Joyview (Mediterranean Neighborhood), and as the official designated reception hotels for the Winter Olympics, Jinyu Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn Express Gemini have always stood firm, and their business and popularity are getting better and better. This is the strength of the municipal state-owned enterprises (Jinyu is affiliated to the Beijing State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and once sponsored the Beijing Men's Basketball Team. For more than 60 years, it has made great achievements in building materials, real estate, commerce, property management and many other aspects. It has always been a frequent visitor to the top 200 of China's top 500 companies. In terms of hotels, as a reliable Chinese owner, it operates well-known hotel brands such as Sheraton). I have a good relationship with Jinyu. I have hosted many of their activities, such as the Ring Trade Center Owners' Association. Coincidentally, my father-in-law and mother-in-law also lived in the family compound of the Institute of Construction Research in the International Trade Center, so they always ate, shopped and watched movies in the shopping mall of the International Trade Center. In addition, the Jewelry and Jade Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources is also in the office building of the International Trade Center. I host the annual meeting of this organization every year, so I often go there to discuss things. I know a lot about Jinyu. Back to this Holiday Inn Express Yanqing, because of its strong background and strength, it is extremely professional in many aspects such as hardware maintenance and software management. The entire park combines multiple buildings and multiple business formats such as Batata Amusement Park, hot springs, villa areas, Zhixuan, Crown, dormitory buildings, commercial housing, basketball courts, etc. seamlessly and complement each other. It is like a commune-style paradise. It reminds me of the military compound where I lived from childhood to adulthood-regular, clean, safe, and elegant.
🏨 About the guest room In Room
❶. Guest room layout: All 14 Holiday Inn Express in Beijing have been checked in, which of course also includes Holiday Inn Express Beijing Jinyu Badaling. There are more than ten smart hotels in the capital, each with its own merits, including business type and resort type (such as the one in Tongzhou Tourism Resort Universal Studios, and this one in Yanqing), and there is a lot of room for choice. Among the smart hotels, it is very rare to have a courtyard room, a tree house room (upper and lower bunk beds for children), and a duplex room, which makes Badaling HIX unique and outstanding. This is the sixth time I have stayed at Jinyu Smart Hotel, and the hotel has upgraded me to a duplex courtyard family room as always. This room type is extremely cost-effective, equivalent to double the price in exchange for three times the free space - there is an extra king-sized double bed upstairs (equivalent to two king-sized double beds upstairs and downstairs, especially suitable for a family of four like us to stay together), and there is an extra courtyard downstairs suitable for playing egg-throwing or drinking tea (the magnolia and apple blossoms in the yard remind people of the Grand View Garden Begonia Poetry Society, which is particularly good), so why not? The rooms are equipped with small refrigerators, electric heaters, etc. The richness of welcome fruits is definitely outstanding among the 3,247 smart hotels in the world, including tropical fruits such as rambutan. Even compared with some HI, it is not much inferior, full of sincerity.
☕️ Dining
❶. Restaurant glimpse: In the peak season, breakfast is served on the second floor; in the off-season, breakfast is combined with the full-time restaurant on the first floor of the Crown, and the meal time is 7 am. The benefits of doing this: first, saving costs; second, giving smart guests a value-for-money dining experience, killing two birds with one stone (IHG's Gemini hotels generally adopt this off-season time-sharing approach, similar to the previous daylight saving time, such as Yuanbaoshan HI and HIX, Ningbo Kaizhou CP and HIX, Cuiyunshan CP and HIX, etc.). There are authentic Japanese meals on the hot spring side. It is recommended to eat there at noon, which is cheap and good. As for ordering takeout, it is also super convenient. Although this is Yanqing, which is extremely remote among the 16 districts of Beijing, the good thing is that the hotel is located in the center of Yanqing District, next to the District JC Hospital, Wanda, and the Marriott and Yuansu where we often stay (like Yiheng, it is also a pet-friendly hotel). Therefore, you don’t have to worry about the desolation problem. The surrounding area is very prosperous, and common fast food brands or food can be easily ordered. It is not far from Global New Idea Plaza and Walmart.
🏊 Hardware Facilities
1. Hotel environment: I have a strong feeling for the "smart stay" Holiday Inn Express, because the "Zhiji" car that I have served for more than a year also has the word "smart". I even suggested to the senior management that IM Zhiji Car and InterContinental Group can cooperate to create an official designated car or a VIP reception exclusive car, haha. The night view of the hotel is unparalleled. It is simply a quiet large-scale light show, especially suitable for morning jogging and night exercise. When taking a walk, the mother river of Yanqing, Guihe River, flows by my side. The feeling of living in seclusion in the mountains is so comfortable - I firmly believe that even the most aggressive people will immediately put down their weapons when they come to the slow-paced Yanqing. The main entrance of the hotel is close to the kart track (after a while, the kart track will be moved inside, and the outside will be changed to a ground parking lot), and the back door is close to the conference center. You can enter and exit, and parking is free (there is also an underground parking lot on the Crown side). One of the large conference rooms in the conference center has been converted into a table tennis hall, which is completely free and very generous (the underground tennis hall of Pinggu CITIC Jinling is charged).
🌟 The Moments
1. Outstanding performance and awards of star employees (whether the service is strong): Manager Han (Melody) used to work at Optics Valley CP. When I went on a business trip to Wuhan, I felt her care and meticulous care. Now, she has been promoted to Yanqing CP and HIX complex. She is more experienced and sophisticated, and has left a deep and good impression on our family of four. China's administrative divisions are all jagged, rather than based on culture and customs, which is more conducive to the integration and unity of people from all over the country. For example, Hanzhong is a typical Sichuan culture, but it was assigned to Shaanxi; Xuzhou is an extension of Qilu culture, but it was assigned to Jiangsu, etc. Similarly, Yanqing belongs to the Jin language area (Zhangjiakou dialect & Hohhot dialect) in terms of language and living habits, but it is still assigned to the capital circle. Because of this, I still recommend that friends in Beijing come to Yanqing more often when choosing areas for weekend tours, because it is close to Beijing city and has a great difference from the imperial city culture. It is very helpful for children to understand the scenery of the motherland. Among the employees of Jinyu Badaling Smart Selection, there are quite a few locals, who are simple and honest, and the lovely dialect gives people an infinite sense of security.
📍 Brief summary Conclusion
1. Highlight moments of the trip: I stayed in 344 hotels, 11 of which were in Yanqing. The May Day holiday is coming soon. I suggest that you book early. The later you go, the more expensive the price will be. It is normal to have no rooms and no rooms. Specifically, the Commune at the Foot of the Great Wall is more like a piece of art, and there is also a section of the wild Great Wall to climb; Hyatt Place is the first choice for watching the Strawberry Music Festival; Hyatt and Tangquan are the best choices for hot springs (of course, Jinyu Badaling Muyun is not much better); Pushen is inside the World Horticultural Exposition, and the capsule coffee machine and capsules are fake... In comparison, Badaling Holiday Inn Express is the hotel closer to Beijing Little Guilin (infinitely close to karst) Longqing Gorge, and it only takes less than 20 minutes one way. Because I didn't know how to use Baidu Netdisk at the time (I was a computer novice), all the more than 10,000 photos and more than 1,000 videos I took during my trip to Japan were scattered (I thought the upload was successful at the time, but it wasn't), which was very distressing. Now, in order to learn from my mistakes, every time I go to a place, even if I go there often, I will leave a bunch of video materials and store them in time, which can be regarded as making up for the regret of my trip to Japan. This time, Holiday Inn Express was no exception. Of course, my photography and video skills are very poor, but I just want to keep my memories.
