I stayed at Zhihe for one night, and it was like living in a forest.
This time I stayed in a private hot spring room, with an open-air hot spring♨️ right outside the door.

It is so comfortable to take a bath! Have a good sleep
Run in the yard in the morning and enjoy a rich Chinese breakfast when you come back

A natural oxygen bar within the 5th Ring Road. The leisure and holiday atmosphere is amazing.
It's so cool! There is such a fairy holiday place hidden in Beijing's Fifth Ring Road. I was asked a lot when I posted a moment! My friend specially chose the city's Zhihe Holiday Hotel, which allowed me to relax a lot. I was shocked when I drove in. There are pigeons that are not afraid of people, and there are super large lawns and green spaces. The air is filled with the smell of grass. Taking a deep breath is like doing a spiritual SPA. It's so cool! There are also deer accompanying you when you walk, and you can take a photo to brush your circle of friends. The check-in experience is directly full, forgive me for not seeing the world. Strolling on the shady road behind the mountain, it's not hot at all, and you can occasionally encounter spot-billed ducks, herons, swans, and even peacocks resting under the bushes. The hotel also has a super large outdoor swimming pool and hot spring private soup. There are deep and shallow water areas, and the relaxation of the holiday is instantly bursting. At night, listening to the rain and soaking in the soup and drinking tea under the bamboo forest, the rhythm slows down and empties yourself. The room service also sent freshly cooked plum soup, and the mini bar drinks are self-service, which is so cool!

🏘️Room Types/Layout: The hotel rooms are full of design sense, allowing you to enjoy an outdoor hot spring with a natural style in the room, surrounded by green bamboo or covered with fine white sand.

Is there really such a hotel in Beijing?!
About my vacation 🏖️ routine in my hometown
Our great Beijing finally has a 'paradise' that is worth boasting about and makes people linger! Soaking in private hot springs, feeding alpacas 🦙, watching wild geese, chasing deer—can you imagine this is a hotel in Beijing?!
The Zhihu Resort Hotel is practically built in a forest 🌳, with huge lawns, woods, and lakes. The ecology is really great. Let's embrace nature together 🍃, it's the best choice for taking kids out 👍
They also have the largest outdoor swimming pool I've ever seen. No exaggeration, a hundred people swimming at the same time wouldn't feel crowded. In the morning, you can sunbathe on the loungers by the pool. Young people, are you tempted?! 💓
In the afternoon, there are alpacas 🦙, sika deer, wild geese, and pigeons on the grass, and they are not afraid of people at all. There are also vendors selling animal feed nearby. Both older and younger kids have a blast. All the stress and worries from living in the city are swept away 👏🥳. Isn't it surprising that the wild geese don't fly south? Because in winter, the park breaks the ice on the lake, so the birds can eat live fish 🐟. The ecological environment is really great 👍
The rooms on the first floor all have private hot springs in small courtyards, fully electronically controlled, very convenient. The water stops automatically when full and drains every two hours. Soaking in the hot spring ♨️ is really relaxing ✌️. The hot spring pools in different rooms have different designs. The front desk said this is 'the only hot spring in Beijing where you can lie down and soak,' because the water has buoyancy, and when you lie down, you float, making your waist feel particularly comfortable.
The hotel's free buffet breakfast is also very good, with a wide variety and healthy options 🥢🥘
There is also a hidden lift refrigerator in the room, which they developed themselves. Press a button, and it might deliver a bouquet of flowers, a cake, or a letter. So many surprises!
Friends coming to Beijing for the summer must stay here!! It's a great place to stay, play, and take photos. Beijingers don't need to go out of town to vacation 🏖️. Hurry up, everyone!

Two-day and one-night worry-free child-friendly itinerary recommended for collection❗️
Day1:
1⃣14:00 Check-in
2⃣Visit the cabin to see capybaras, super cute
3⃣Room card grants access to the carousel and trampoline
4⃣As the sun sets and visitors leave, head to the big lawn to rua (pet) deer🦌 and alpacas, a privilege only for hotel guests. It feels like accidentally stepping into a summer by Hayao Miyazaki🤩 If the weather is not good and the animals are not out, you can go to the back mountain to see them. There are vending machines selling feed, so you can go all in for the kids
5⃣Outdoor swimming pool: Enjoy the outdoor pool and open-air hot springs, with a duck pool that kids love, so adorable
6⃣Dinner time, Peacock Restaurant offers Western food, Swan Canteen offers Chinese food
7⃣Soak in a private hot spring! Water temperature is adjustable, and the water quality is excellent! Top-notch experience

2⃣Visit the Bird of Paradise Library for free coffee☕️, show off anytime 24/7
3⃣Take advantage of the quiet morning to run around on the big lawn. At this time, the pigeons🕊 are still hungry, and they'll all come if you feed them
4⃣Stroll along the Beichen Trail, breathe in the fresh air
5⃣Visit the back mountain's Bird Garden to see herons, swans, and peacocks
6⃣Borrow a bicycle🚲 from the front desk and ride along the greenway, the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful
We booked a balcony private hot spring room, 40㎡ of space, a 2-meter-wide bed, plenty of room for a family of three. The private hot spring is open-air, and you can see the stars🌌 right above you, absolutely fantastic!
The drinks in the mini-bar are all free❗️I did a rough calculation, and just these are worth nearly 200r❗️The most thoughtful touch is the silver ear soup prepared by the bedside - moved to tears.
By the way, after checking out, you can still continue to enjoy the park. And surprisingly, parking is also free.

Toddler-Friendly Water Play Recommendation | Ziyu Villa is so clean at Zhihe!
| Ziyu Villa is so clean at Zhihe! 🌊Summer is for playing in the water, and that includes toddlers.
🏃Today's CityWalk recommends a resort hotel with an outdoor swimming pool in Beijing.
🙋-Effectively avoid crowds
🏄🏻-No crazy water activities
🚼-Clean and hygienic, perfect for relaxing with kids
🍀-Located within the North Fourth Ring, close to home
📍Ziyu Villa | Zhihe Resort Hotel
Frequent visitors to my parenting circle will definitely be familiar with this hotel!
Zhihe is truly a year-round family-friendly resort.
🍀Room with a hot spring pool |
The hotel offers rooms with a 'hot spring pool,' solving the problem for parents who don't want to move while the kids can still play in the water inside. Constant temperature bathtub, outdoor, private, clean, and hygienic, a family of three can have a lot of fun soaking together.
🌈Outdoor hot spring pool and swimming pool | Toddler-friendly
The outdoor swimming pool and hot spring pool at Zhihe Resort Hotel are only open to staying guests, the water is very clean, without many disgusting impurities, I feel very safe letting toddlers play here!
🌟The hotel originally has few rooms, focusing on being small but exquisite, so even in the hot summer, you can enjoy the entire outdoor swimming pool area after booking.
🌊-Warm water hot spring pool
The outdoor area has several small pools, very shallow! About 60cm deep, warm water, lots of little ducks. My 70cm tall child with a float ring didn't want to leave at all. The bamboo grove pool has a quiet environment, but he doesn't like it.
👶-30cm ultra-shallow swimming pool area
The elephant slide swimming pool area for children connects to the standard pool. Because there are few guests, you can swim in any lane and slide down the slides freely. The 30cm ultra-shallow pool design almost moved me to tears, seeing my child floating in it with a jojo, so adorable.
🍭-Lounge chairs, parasols, drinks
Thoughtful! Although it's hot even in the water, the drinks are tasty and free. Although the cost is ultimately borne by the hotel, they are generous to let you enjoy it! The drinks from the room minibar are all moved to outdoor ice buckets, so generous!
In summary, Zhihe has truly achieved cleanliness, 'spaciousness with few people,' relaxing with kids, and not tiring for moms!
🐿As mentioned in a previous post, Zhihe is also a small animal and child-friendly hotel. Now when my child goes there, he has to decide when to feed the deer and when to play in the water. He organizes his own schedule very clearly.
🔥I really love taking my child to this hotel!

Beijing's Best Spots for Flower Viewing | Don't miss the dreamy wonderland within the Fourth Ring

The February orchids in Beijing are blooming, it's like a dreamy sea of flowers from a fairy tale
I'm taking Mei Mei to Beijing to chase the flowers this weekend~
Unexpectedly, the hotel 🏨 I booked was hiding a purple sea of flowers
It was such a pleasant surprise~
It's the dreamy February orchids!
Just like a fairyland from a fairy tale
The February orchid is a wildflower that is especially common in Beijing, typically seen in white and purple, and because its blooming period starts in the lunar February, it is commonly known as the February orchid.
And here, there are no crowds, you can enjoy the whole sea of flowers by yourself
-
📷 Photo tips:
The February orchids are very small and quite low to the ground
You can squat among the flowers with them in the foreground,
creating the impression of a sea of flowers
You can also walk in circles through the flowers
Remember to wear white or light-colored gentle clothes

Enjoying breakfast with the alpaca🦙 and deer🦌 in the private hot spring estate within the fifth ring.
The Ziyu Villa in the northern fifth ring is truly a tranquil haven within the city. The environment is impeccably maintained, with expansive lawns and a variety of small animals that provide a therapeutic experience each visit. The restaurants (Peacock Garden, Ginkgo Tree House, Swan Cafeteria) are all incredibly atmospheric, though reservations can be challenging to secure.
It must be said that each hotel under the Zhihe brand is uniquely located and designed, blending seamlessly into nature with a touch of understated luxury. This is my first stay at Zhihe in Beijing, and it feels like a vacation in a bamboo forest - incredibly serene ⛱️.
🌳┇Bamboo Forest Private Hot Spring Room
Recently renovated, the hot spring faces the bamboo forest, offering a relaxing experience that feels one with nature - perfect for a weekend getaway! The room features an open design, with a minibar stocked with complimentary snacks and beverages, welcome fruits, and evening beverages. Surprisingly, the bathroom even includes a hair straightener - a first for any hotel I've stayed in!
🌳┇Afternoon Tea and Breakfast
This is a particular favorite of mine. Both afternoon tea and breakfast can be enjoyed outdoors, right at the hotel entrance. Breakfast reservations should be made in advance at the front desk to dine with the deer and alpacas. The next day, the staff will bring them over at the agreed time. We dined with three deer 🦌 and one alpaca 🦙 for an hour - a super fun experience, though taking photos was a bit challenging! Breakfast is prepared by the restaurant and is quite sumptuous. The outdoor area is currently adorned with hydrangeas, creating a strong overall ambiance.
📷Photography tip: Buy some carrots 🥕 in advance for a photo op with the animals - they'll come right over!
🌳┇Super Large Lawn
This area is arguably the highlight of Ziyu Villa, having gained popularity over the years. The expansive lawn and artificial lake are home to numerous swans 🦢, pigeons, peacocks, alpacas, and deer that are active from morning till night, allowing for close interaction. The lawn offers a view of the exquisite tower.
🌳┇Natural Forest
The natural environment of Ziyu Villa is exceptional. A stroll through the forest after a meal is delightful, with plenty of flowers to photograph in the spring and early summer. The best part is that there's no competition for the best photo spots!
🏠┇Zhihe Resort Hotel
📍┇Enter through the west gate of the eastern district of Ziyu Villa by car or taxi.
❗️Tips:
1. Vending machines are available throughout the villa for feeding the animals.
2. It's recommended to make restaurant reservations in advance.

Beijing Hidden Luxury Hot Spring Hotel, no less impressive than Aman, is teeming with flora and fauna
I stumbled upon this treasure of a hot spring hotel in the capital: Zhihe Resort Hotel·Beijing, located within the Ziyu Villa, feels like a secret haven embraced by nature. As I entered the hotel, it was as if I had stepped into an isolated oasis, with a deep bamboo forest in sight and a vast lawn around me, taking a deep breath of air filled with negative oxygen ions!
The most delightful surprise was the deer, black swans, alpacas, pigeons, peacocks, and other animals I saw roaming freely as I walked, completely unafraid of people. Just buy a bag of carrots, and you can make friends with them, which is really fun! Taking a photo with a deer and posting it online, those unaware might think I went to Nara. (Please do not bring your own food when staying! The food provided by the park is rationed, and I heard that a deer that was two months pregnant had a miscarriage due to overfeeding)
➢
1⃣️ Comfortable Environment
The hotel is situated within Ziyu Villa. It's like a natural oxygen bar, with lakes, boardwalks, lawns, forests, and even restaurants and wellness centers; it's also a great place for outdoor sports.
➢
2⃣️ Hot Spring Rooms
The hotel offers a variety of room types, and I stayed in a hot spring room. The natural wood-colored flooring paired with green and red walls gives a sense of returning to nature. The rooms are designed to be transparent, creating a breathable atmosphere. The entire room is free of exposed wiring, making it both beautiful and comfortable. What's more delightful is that you can enjoy an open-air hot spring bath on the balcony of the room, and through the glass, you can see the banana plants and bamboo surrounding the hot spring. This return to nature is also a great pleasure.
➢
3⃣️ Dining Features:
The first floor of the lobby is the breakfast area, which is divided into indoor and outdoor sections. Outdoor dining often has visits from deer or alpacas, casually passing by and sharing breakfast with you, an experience like being in nature, which is really fantastic.
➢
4⃣️ Wellness Center:
The first floor has a tropical swimming pool that rivals those in Sanya, with an American retro style. The second floor is a gym, and not far away is a huge tennis court, satisfying your need for sports.
➢
5⃣️ TIPS:
📌 The hotel staff are very considerate, with a dedicated shuttle sightseeing car that can be booked in advance to take you around the entire hotel.
·
📌 The hotel's daily cleaning is particularly timely, and the cleaning is especially careful and clean.
·
📌 The guest room MiniBar offers a variety of free imported soft drinks, seasonal fruits, and more, allowing you to experience scenic afternoon tea and tipsy moments, which is really great value! Few hotels are so generous to offer this for free.

Hidden in the city, secluded in nature, located in the bustling metropolis, you can still enjoy the leisurely pleasures of nature. Zhihe Resort Hotel in Beijing is like a utopia that fulfills everyone's longing for leisure time, keeping all the hustle and bustle at bay, and is definitely your first choice for a vacation in Beijing.

I especially like animals. When I was young, I dreamed when I could live in the zoo.
In the Zhihe Resort, formerly known as Ziyu Mountain Villa, it is said that the Ziyu Mountain Villa has a lot of flora and fauna. I didnt expect that it was not long before I entered the yard and was attracted by the green areas and lakes in front of me. I left the lake without leaving my luggage. Go and go. Groups of wild ducks and swans swim in the lake gracefully. The three alpacas with their cute expressions slid into Dada and walked into the lake. These three alpacas are the stars in the mountain, two white and one brown. Still keen to chase after the alpaca to take pictures, I saw a group of little deer eating grass on the lawn not far from the lake. I said that I want to see deer and go to Nara, Japan, and the group in front of me is quite cute. Why bother to fly abroad? But the deer here is even more afraid of people. Looked at the swan, chased the alpaca, fed enough of the deer, and looked at the "small island" in the distance, so that there was something in the curiosity, so I walked through the green tree-lined green path to the secret. explore.
The quiet path has been surrounded by green plants like a secret. Walking in it, sometimes climbing the mountain and walking through the small bridge, the ear will inadvertently hear all kinds of bird screams, creek sounds, sand blowing through the leaves, like walking close to a small forest Let people know if they are still in the hotel.

Booked in the HelloKitty theme room of the Wohe Resort in advance, it is like visiting the Kitty house, pink sofa, pink bedside, pink crystal bedside lamp, pink Kitty cute phone, every room The details are not like, and surrounded by pink, super dreams.
Open the screen window door and come to the outdoor independent small courtyard that comes with the room. The yard is small, and the lovely kitty-shaped hot springs occupy more than half of the space. Under the blue light of the night, it looks mysterious and has a touch of romance. The water temperature is just right for the current season. I still can't wait to eat dinner, I can't wait to change into a swimsuit and get into the water. The warm spring water allowed the whole person to relax in an instant, sweeping away the exhaustion of a week of intense work.
has been in the hot spring for a long time and is not willing to leave. The night illuminated by the candle is extraordinarily romantic and beautiful.

There is a free bicycle for the park at the door, and there are two people. When you enter the door, you are attracted by the greenery of the eyes. The interior and exterior are integrated, like a tropical rain forest, and parrots are jumping in the jungle. The green sofa on the side has a mobile bookcase where you can read books and drink coffee quietly. Here, like other hotels, there are many room types, but the only thing I want to recommend is the room type I live in - the terrace soup room!
This very special room is on the basement level. The moment when the door is opened, it is the moment to unpack the gift. Obviously this gift is a bit pleasant, some accidents, some are overjoyed, much more beautiful than the photos we see online. .
Spacious bedroom, full of design art atmosphere, can not feel the offensive business temperament of high-star hotel, blue, green, beige, wood red, with warm and lively, living.
Outside the door is a small open-air courtyard, where there is a Japanese-style natural style private soup, it is said that there is also a beach-style theme soup pool!
Whether you are soaking in the sun, or after a nightfall, revealing a quiet atmosphere, half-floating in warm water, this experience will be happy!
After a while, the waiter also sent warm pears and small cookies in a thermos cup.
tennis, basketball, indoor badminton, football are also rugby, table tennis and so on, and are all professional level, the fitness area is a panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, you can see the beauty of the outdoor pool, the poolside is planted with plantain, palmetto, the Netherlands Tropical plants such as iron, needles, and palms made me think I was in Sanya.
