Aranya

Aranya, located in Changli County, Hebei Province, is about 30 kilometers away from Beidaihe. It was initially just a simple real estate residential project, established in 2013. In 2015, Aranya became famous on the Internet with a short video with over 600 million views - 'The Loneliest Library', becoming a 'Internet celebrity community' for Chinese literati youth. Now, Aranya has 11 cultural festivals every year, holding 1500 various cultural themed activities, including architecture forums, equestrian festivals, cultural festivals, music festivals and drama festivals, etc. These festivals and activities are all based on the original content of the Aranya community and are combined with well-known social resources. Today, Aranya has long since transformed from a pure real estate project into a comprehensive seaside tourism and vacation complex with full resources. In Aranya, you can stroll on the soft and flat golden beach; you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of sunrise and sunset; you can taste delicious food in the community canteen or restaurant; you can read books facing the sea in the Lonely Library; you can listen to songs and watch the sea in the auditorium; you can buy internet celebrity egg tarts in the hostel; you can enjoy a leisurely time with family and friends in the coffee shop; you can eat seafood in the fish market; you can stroll in the boutique. Aranya comes from the Sanskrit Aranya, which originally means 'a quiet place in the world, where you can find yourself'. In Changli's Aranya, I found a wonderful feeling of relaxing and pleasing the body and mind.
