#16 Degree Hotel Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Dine with alpacas, admire the autumn scenery in the colorful forest, and enjoy a variety of experiences
Autumn is the season when the grassland on the dam is colorful. During the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, we came to the Colorful Forest Scenic Area on the first grassland in the north of Beijing, located in Datan Town, Fengning, Chengde, to experience the golden autumn color. A wonderful day in the colorful forest begins with a special breakfast.
In the early morning, stepping on the dew on the lawn, we came to the forest ranch to experience breakfast with sika deer. The forest ranch raises more than a dozen sika deer. The leading stag has long horns, is strong and majestic, and the little deer next to it is very cute. Having breakfast in the natural environment between the mountain forest and the grassland is not only extremely comfortable, but also occasionally visited by small deer. Give a carrot, it will chew beautifully, and enjoy the joy of dining with us.
The sun gradually rises, making the colorful mountains and forests particularly bright, and the highlight of the day to enjoy the autumn scenery begins. Take the squirrel train from the colorful pool opposite the forest ranch to Tianjing Lake. When the train leaves the forest and a lake appears in front of you, the little friends can't help but exclaim in surprise. The scenery in front of you is like a heavy-colored oil painting. A railway extends to the distance, and the green, red, and yellow woods on the lakeshore are accompanied by blue sky and white clouds. The colorful forest is indeed well-deserved.
Walking along the lake, wandering in the picturesque scenery, the golden birch forest is the main color of this season, and the larch has just begun to change from green to yellow, showing different transition colors. On one side of the small road in the forest is the birch forest, and the other side of the railing is arranged with animal and plant science popularization displays. In this forest, not only do we live, but also hundreds of plants and animals, including precious species.
On the shore of Tianjing Lake, the little friends experience fishing, and the fish are roasted, adding a dish to lunch. The afternoon time is a bit lazy, we ride a camel swaying in the woods, take a carriage to visit the Manchu Folk Exhibition. Fengning is a Manchu Autonomous County, and many Manchu customs and cultures from the Northeast are preserved locally, which are integrated with the grassland culture of the Mongols, making the colorful forest not only colorful scenery, but also diverse folk customs.
Afternoon tea is specially arranged in the forest ranch, and this time we are accompanied by a group of cute alpacas. The dining table is next to the alpaca's fence. The naughty alpaca occasionally stretches its head to share the food on the table. Looking at the cute and silly look, how can you bear to drive away?
The night gradually falls, and I walk out of the visitor center to the Colorful Food Square. In addition to the local specialty oatmeal set meal for dinner, there is also a very ceremonial roast whole lamb. In the singing of the Mongolian boys, cutting lamb, toasting, offering hada, let us feel the passion of the grassland people like fire.
After the dinner, a bonfire was lit on the small square, and the mysterious shaman performance began. Everyone gathered around the bonfire, playing more and more lively, and the small square echoed with our laughter.

#2024wish
In 2023, I got to spend a day at the 16 Degree hotel in Chengde, China! 😍
Wandering around the resort grounds, one can see windmills on the mountaintops, and flower fields dotting the scenery.🌸🌻
The air is clean and quiet, and clouds drift overhead. It’s truly a retreat from bustling cities into the peaceful countryside. ⛰️☁️
At nighttime, the resort comes to life! Mongolian singing performances and music fill the common area, and fireworks are set off to entertain guests. 💃🎇
I hope that in 2024, I can visit this beautiful resort again!
