A beautiful ancient village close to Beijing.

✔ A stone village with beautiful scenery is located 20 minutes from Jinhai Lake in Pinggu. You can watch the sunset from the cliff or climb the mountain in the morning to see the eagles. The local farm food is a must-try. The homestay is CNY 200+ and includes dinner (a 1.5 kg fish and three stir-fried dishes) and breakfast for an extra CNY 100 per person. The food is amazing. ✔ Before returning to Beijing, visit Dule Temple, one of the three remaining Liao Dynasty temples in China. See the oldest Wudian roof gate and the exquisite mortise and tenon craftsmanship. The 16-meter-tall clay statue of Guanyin in the Guanyin Pavilion is one of the largest clay Buddha statues in China. This trip is definitely worth it. ✔
