Everyone loves novelty, and Beijing has plenty of hidden leisure spots
offering interesting new day trips in the city surrounds. Here are three
of the best.

*Village View Resort, Huairou: European villas for Chinese, Chinese
courtyards for foreigners.

Situated beside a lake with a football pitch sized lawn, Village View
Resort combines Chinese farmhouse dishes with authentic German cuisine
and Chinese courtyards with European villas. It attracts metropolitan
Chinese fond of European style and foreigners fascinated by Chinese
courtyards.

Standard rooms are RMB 650 per night, European villas with five rooms and
two living areas (lake view included) are RMB 8,800 and Chinese
courtyards are RMB 4,000 to RMB 6,000.

Tips:
1. Breakfast seedcakes are delicious and so popular you may find yourself
elbowing others aside to get the last one.
2. The hotel bathrooms are rather small and not well equipped.
3. Footballs are available for rent.
4. Bank cards are accepted.

How to get there:

Take Jingshunlu and head north. Continue past Kuliushu roundabout. Take a
left turn when you reach Kaifang roundabout. Continue and take a right
turn at the T-intersection. Go straight at Fule roundabout, then turn
left at Yanqi roundabout. Continue following the mountain path. Village
View Resort is a five-minute drive away.
