Enjoying a Summer Retreat with Kids in Yanqing | A 5000 Square Meter Playground at a Family-Friendly B&B is Not Enough

Beijing's summer ☀️ is getting hotter, and it's perfect to take the kids to Yanqing for a weekend getaway to cool off. We specifically chose a B&B that's great for kids and stayed for a night 🌌. With an outdoor playground that's a whopping 5000 square meters and various themed rooms for families, two days and one night are simply not enough to enjoy it all. 🏡 Doodoodoo Elementary School B&B 📍 Address: Heihangling Village, Yanqing ⭕️【Play】 ✅ Doodoodoo Playground: The B&B has an outdoor playground that's 5000 square meters, complete with slides 🛝, swings, climbing frames, trampolines, rabbit holes🕳️, zip lines, sandpits, water pools🌊, and more. These non-powered play facilities are enough to keep the kids entertained all day, and the cute designs of the equipment are also perfect for 📸 photos. ✅ Park Animals: At the far end of the Doodoodoo Playground, there are many small animals, including pigeons🐦, rabbits🐰, roosters🐔, and sheep. It's said that the sheep🐑 are occasionally let out for a stroll, and you can feed them for some close interaction. ✅ Doodoodoo Farm: The B&B has its own farm🌾, where a variety of vegetables are grown. Tomatoes have already fruited, green and round, and some fields are just starting to be planted. You can take the kids to learn about the crops and fruits🍅. There's a wooden swing on the side, with green mountains⛰️ and fields in the distance, which should be very beautiful when the mountain flowers🌼 bloom in autumn. ✅ Family Activities: There are several different family activities scheduled every day. This time we DIYed bamboo cicadas🎋 and painted drift bottles🫙. The crafts are simple to operate, and the finished products are fun and can be taken home. The B&B also has monthly themed activities, including markets, day camps, theme camps, and more, combining the characteristics of the season for a rich and varied experience. ⭕️【Stay】 🔸 The B&B offers a variety of themed rooms. We chose to stay in a slide room, which is connected by stairs and a slide 🛝. The kids not only can sleep in the small loft on the second floor but also have lots of toys🧸 to play with. The side of the stairs is also made into a bookshelf, filled with children's picture books📖 for the kids to read. 🔸 Families staying with children are also provided with a special kids' wash pack, including small slippers, children's toothbrushes and toothpaste🪥, and the bathroom is equipped with a child's toilet seat and a step stool for the sink, 👍 making it super convenient for families with kids. ⭕️【Eat】 The B&B has its own restaurant and coffee shop☕️, where you can have afternoon tea or meals without leaving the premises. Many dishes are home-cooked🥬, not only fresh but also authentic in taste. In addition, the coffee shop is also a small reading room with a variety of books📚 available for borrowing, as well as some handmade creative products. ✨Other There are many places to visit around the B&B, such as the Four Seasons Flower Sea💐, Jiuyanlou Great Wall, Yongning Ancient Town, Fenghuangtuo, Baili Landscape Gallery🏞️, Longqing Gorge, and more. You can plan a two-day, one-night trip. The temperature in the suburbs is 5-10 degrees lower than in the city, making it very suitable for taking the kids out 👦 to escape the heat right now.
