Four Points By Sheraton Langfang Gu'an Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Tranquil Retreat, the 5 Star Way
#Get away from it all.
We booked into the Four Points by Sheraton, situated in Gu'am Langfang over the Labour Day Holidays.
The Hotel exceeded our expectations thusfar, and we felt right at home upon arrival.
Check in was fairly quick, considering that they very fairly busy during this period.
The Hotel is situated in a tranquil environment, and you feel relaxing when in and around the hotel.
During the Spring Season, guests will enjoy lots of greenery around the Hotel.
We were suprised to discover a small farmyard zoo, with animals such as Rabbits, Guinea fowl and so on.
More impressive, the two Alpacas, something you don't often see in your life.
We enjoyed a buffet dinner at the Restaurant, wich is situated opposite the Lobby Lounge.
After dinner, we enjoyed some Wine and Cocktails at the Lobby Lounge.
This is truly a great Hotel, and we will support them often going forward.
Michael & Nici Exploring China and Beyond An Elegant Night
#elegant
The Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, in Gu'an Langfang, is ideal for an elegant evening out.
We thourougly enjoyed some time at the sophisticated Lobby Lounge and Restaurant.
As well as the outdoors, as we were seated on the wooden deck, later that evening.
The weather was most pleasent, truly a remarkable Spring Day. We were yet again enjoying the Alpacas, they are magnificent creatures (and well taken care of).
Guests can purchase their very own Alpaca stuffed animals, inside the Hotel or at the Restaurant. (A nice souvenir, to remember your time here).
Happy hour at the Lobby Lounge was very relaxing, the ideal setting to enjoy a glass of wine.
Dinner at the Restaurant was on International Standard, the dishes were well prepared and very tasty indeed.
This is the ideal Hotel to visit, if you wish to get out of the city a bit.

Dahu Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
A magical place just an hour away from Beijing, nice
🌈 So close, so beautiful, head to Hebei for the weekend.
👍 Here's a weekend getaway spot just an hour's drive from Beijing that's perfect for leisure and taking the kids: Gu'an Peacock City Great Lake Park in Langfang.
💃 With a five-star environment, free parking, restaurants, a Costa coffee shop, the Walnut Bar, Melody KTV, and a dedicated children's playground, there's usually a starry sky music festival performance on the lawn in front of the Costa coffee shop on Saturday nights, offering a one-stop solution for adults and children's entertainment! A leisurely walk by the lake after dinner is also very pleasant!
📍 Nearby facilities:
1⃣️ About a 10-minute drive from Beijing Wildlife Park.
2⃣️ Just a few minutes' drive from the Four Points by Sheraton in Gu'an.
We usually take the kids to the zoo during the day, dine at the Great Lake Park in the evening, watch the lawn starry sky concert, and when tired, head back to the hotel to rest. Staying at the hotel also allows free access to the rooftop swimming pool.
3⃣️ If you have the energy the next day, you can also visit the Gu'an Yongding International Trade City (wholesale market), which offers a wide variety of goods at affordable prices. I've been there many times and always come back with a full load, haha!
🎈 Save this if you need it, friends!

Beijing Weekend One-Stop Child Fun—Dahu Park
Dahu Park is located in the core area of Peacock City in the North Development Zone of Gu'an, by the Yongding River. It is the largest artificial lake in Gu'an and is known as the 'Eye of Gu'an'.
The park's trail is a lakeside jogging path, 2 kilometers long, with willows and flowers planted along the way. A morning stroll here offers a fragrance of flowers and plants every ten steps, with fish swimming between water and shadows, migratory birds resting occasionally, and the breeze rustling through the reeds. With its scenic courtyard architecture and neighborhood streets, it is an excellent place for jogging, cycling, lake viewing, and brisk walking.
Along the green spaces by the lakeside trail and near the restaurants, people set up tents or lay out picnic mats.
The park offers rowboats, kayaks, pedal boats, and floating tube boats. There are turtles, swans, ducks, mandarin ducks, and flocks of pigeons that are super cute. Remember to bring some small bread or steamed buns to feed them nearby.
There are many restaurants around the lake, including hot pot, Japanese barbecue, home cooking, dessert shops, cafes, ice cream, small bars, and more. There are also outdoor dining spots by the lake and popular bubble houses.
The park's attractions include Swan Lake, Hobbit Garden Maze, Xinhua Bookstore, Super Theater Light Show, Children's Playground, and more. There's also the popular voice-controlled shouting fountain, next to a free children's playground with various non-powered facilities perfect for child fun, where you can enjoy unrestricted parent-child time.

Shengbaiwei (gu'an) Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
This place is the first choice for family banquets! You really can't go wrong
⭐️⭐️ Our family gatherings always prefer to come to this Sheng Bai Wei·Family Banquet Restaurant. It's a popular restaurant recommendation in the suburbs of Beijing, and the No.1 Gu'an Roast Duck. Both the taste and the environment are impeccable!
💕💕 The restaurant has 40 private rooms, not only suitable for family dinners but also perfect for business banquets, birthday parties, and wedding receptions. The most important thing is that there are membership benefits, with many discounts on members' day!
🌷🌷 Lychee Wood Roast Duck:
The roast duck here is really good, made through 18 processes, all by chefs with twenty years of experience in roasting duck on-site. You can taste the faint fruity wood flavor with each bite, the skin is crispy, and the duck meat is tender and delicious, really super fragrant!
✨✨ Hundred Flavors Spicy Fried Shrimp:
All the shrimp used are fresh and large, and they are really super fragrant when fried in hot oil! Each one is crispy and crunchy, and you just can't stop eating them!
🌷🌷 Pot Stewed Spicy Chicken:
It contains a lot of Sichuan peppercorns and vine peppercorns, making it really spicy and fragrant with a unique taste. The chicken inside is also very tender. This special flavor is highly recommended, and friends who come to eat should not miss it!

Reunion Dinner @ 4 Points by Sheraton
#reuniondinner
We enjoyed a word class "Reunion Dinner" during the Mid Autumn Festival, at the Four Points by Sheraton, Gu'an Langfang.
The pastries were exceptionally professionally prepared, it's evident that the pastry cheff is a master of his trade.
It was lovely to be present during such a special day, and to see numerous families and Loved ones unite again.
This is truly a memorable time of the year, and this is the best venue in Langfang to spent you're holidays.

Beijing's Backyard - Top Weekend Flower Viewing Recommendation: The Number One Flower Sea South of Beijing
Lin Cheng Village's Rapeseed Flower Sea
🌼🌼Do not waste the spring weekends 🌼🌼
Where to go this weekend??
Recommended: the small village 50 kilometers south of Beijing - Lin Cheng Village in Gu'an County
Lin Cheng Village has always been famous for its natural hot springs, earning it the name: Hot Spring Park. In the past two years, the thousands of acres of rapeseed flower sea have attracted many visitors to come and check in.
Though it's a small village, the drive there is on a highway, and after exiting the highway, there are six-lane clean and spacious roads, and European-style town architecture that makes one feel as if they are traveling in Europe.
The flower sea is beautiful, and no matter how you take photos of the sunrise or sunset, it's never enough.
A day trip can be very fulfilling, with flower viewing and photo taking in the morning, a delicious farmhouse meal at Evian Hotel at noon in a very nice environment, and in the afternoon, visiting a farm to pick organic vegetables and seeing cute animals. A perfect day✌️
If you have enough time, you can stay for a night and enjoy the hot springs. The hot springs are genuine, and after soaking, your skin feels smooth and slippery, so comfortable
