The ultimate weekend chill spot in Huairou—this wild luxury villa with a private hot spring is absolutely amazing

Beijing workers, take note! Escape the city in 2 hours and stay in a secret mountain retreat next to Mutianyu. This weekend trip is legendary~ 🏡 Must-stay accommodation: Wild Pool Hot Spring Resort Villa · Qinqran (Mutianyu Branch) Navigate to Weidian Village, Bohai Town. The blue sign halfway up the mountain marks the entrance, just a 15-minute drive from Mutianyu. Highly recommend the Honey Joy King Room, with satin bed curtains and a mountain view bathtub. Soak in the private hot spring at night while stargazing; the butler thoughtfully prepares a rose bath pack in advance. The white spiral staircase and bamboo swing are perfect for photos, and the afternoon sunlight is stunning. Shoot with a 0.5x wide-angle lens to fully capture the vibe. 🗺️ Two-day, one-night itinerary Day 1: Depart city → Check in at villa → Take beautiful photos → Evening private hot spring soak → Dinner at Pumpkin House with jasmine mille crepe Day 2: 6:30 AM rush to Mutianyu Great Wall (beat the crowds) → Eat rainbow trout at Yujia’ao → Return trip 🍽️ Food recommendations Don’t miss the dirty coffee at the villa’s Pumpkin House. For late-night snacks, pre-order the salt and pepper mantis shrimp—so fresh it’ll blow your mind. At the foot of the Great Wall, Yujia’ao’s grilled rainbow trout is crispy outside and tender inside, paired perfectly with wild mountain vegetables. 💡 Tips to avoid pitfalls The café is crowded on weekends, so go early for photos. Be sure to bring a waterproof phone pouch; they’re sold by the pool at a high price. Hanfu rental requires a 24-hour advance reservation and includes free ancient-style Great Wall photoshoots. All this for about 800 RMB per person—private hot spring + mountain views + Great Wall tour. The exhaustion of working life is completely healed! Make this weekend your getaway~
