[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Beijing Miyun Vanke Vernon Town (Updated Apr)

I finally checked in at the "Bay Mid-Levels Hotel" that I had been eyeing for a long time. It is indeed the top resort in the suburbs of Beijing! From the environment to the service, it's perfect. It's so healing to come here to relax on weekends. 📍 Location Located next to the Miyun Reservoir, it takes 1.5 hours to drive from Beijing City. The scenery along the way is super beautiful, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and you can truly live among the mountains and rivers. 🏨 Hotel environment • Built on the mountain, the overall design combines Chinese gardens with modern aesthetics, with a different view at every step • The lobby’s super-high floor-to-ceiling windows face the mountain view, and when the weather is good you can see the sea of ​​clouds☁️ • Guest rooms are located in several independent buildings, providing excellent privacy 🛏️ Room type recommendation 1️⃣ Deluxe Garden View Room (Required!) - Starting from 70 square meters, panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows + viewing terrace - Some rooms have private hot spring baths (book in advance) 2️⃣ Bay Villa - Suitable for family or friends gatherings, with a private courtyard - Indoor and outdoor double hot spring baths, 24-hour constant temperature ♨️ Hot spring experience The highlight of the hotel! There are 12 hot spring pools with different functions distributed on the hillside: • Red wine pool/Chinese medicine pool/Jasmine pool each have their own unique features • The most recommended is the “Infinity Pool on the Top of the Mountain”, where you can enjoy the sunset while soaking in the hot spring in the evening! • Bathrobes, slippers and thermos bottles are provided 🍽️ Dining Experience ✔️ The Chinese restaurant specializes in Miyun Reservoir fish🐟, so fresh it's eyebrow-dropping ✔️ The Western restaurant has a super rich buffet breakfast, and the freshly cooked wontons are a must-try ✔️ Afternoon tea at the lobby bar is beautiful and great for taking photos 🎡 Featured Activities • Enjoy yoga class in the morning (the teacher is very professional) • Parent-child workshop • Winter-only outdoor real ice skating rink❄️ 📸 Photography check-in point 1.

Tangchi District Fog Forest Installation 💡 Practical Tips • Book at least 2 weeks in advance during peak season • It is recommended to stay for 2 nights, 1 day is not enough • Bring a swimsuit + sunscreen + mosquito repellent

If you prefer reverse travel, you can come to Vernon Town. Not many people come here from the city. After arriving here, I found that Vernon Town and Miyun Junlan Hotel are connected. It takes 2.5 hours to drive in Beijing. The journey is quite far. Most people come to the Yexian Tower Scenic Area to play. It is not recommended to come here alone. I think it is interesting to stay in a hotel for 2 days and 1 night or 3 days and 2 nights + visit Vernon Town + combine it with surrounding tours. One is that the intensity is not too high and the legs are not too tired. The second is to save time on the road and go early to play during the off-peak hours. (Read it together with the previous guide to the Yexian Tower Scenic Area! Share the full guide to eating, drinking, playing and staying with everyone) 🙋What is fun in Vernon town❓ I think Vernon Town is like a city square for leisure and entertainment. It is a more lively venue for activities in Miyun. 1. There is a Monceau Zoo 🐎🦙🐰🦆🐑🦚 ostriches, etc. The advantage is that children can go in and feed the rabbits, but the disadvantage is that you cannot bring your own food 2. Free outdoor leisure park⛲️ and playground, more suitable for children to play, with slides, climbing nets, swings, sand pits, etc. There are several Monet-style green bridges beside the stream. It will be more beautiful after the flowers bloom and the trees turn green! It is surrounded by green plants and feels like a street park. 3. There is a game carnival in Vernon Square, a small spring market, a carousel, various small games (at your own expense, scooping goldfish, etc.), and many kinds of electric cars that can be played for 30/10 minutes. Various balloons are sold, and you can ride a hot air balloon in May! ! 4. The Church of the First Heart⛪️ and Monet Flower House are free to visit, and they are really nice for taking photos📷. The building itself is beautiful, with large floor-to-ceiling windows. The flower house is like a greenhouse botanical garden, but it was not open when we went. 5. There are 4 restaurants in the park Taoyuan Restaurant (relatively delicious stir-fried dishes, a variety of local dishes, Miyun Reservoir fish, slow food delivery when there are many people, we ate here) Sunrise Canteen (owner canteen, low per capita consumption, simple meals and large quantities) Ono Cafe☕️ (a petite bourgeois coffee shop, high-end coffee drinks, Western-style simple meals) Giverny Restaurant (actually the same restaurant as Taoyuan. If there is not enough room in Taoyuan, you can sit here. Breakfast is served buffet style here. There are breakfast items suitable for children) 🙋How are the rooms at Miyun Junlan Hotel? It is convenient to travel around here, but it is more expensive during the peak season (it feels more expensive during the ski season) 1. It is most convenient to choose an independent small building 🏠 for a family trip. The living room 🛋️ on the first floor is very spacious, just like the feeling in TV dramas. 2. Parent-child suites and parent-child king-size rooms are shared by 2-3 families. The first floor is the living room, which is a relatively cramped space shared by 3 families (in fact, no one uses the public area). There is one room on each of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors. 3.🐶After arriving, I found that pets are allowed here! ! It's very convenient to live here when traveling with your dog! 🙋Where are the fun places to visit nearby? The natural scenic spots that I personally think are beautiful and fun are as follows ⬇️ They are not too intense to play with Yexian Tower Scenic Area Miyun Reservoir Miyun Yunlongjian Scenic Area Yunmeng Mountain Scenic Area Jungle Kingdom Camping Resort Miyun Riverside Park-🐝Theme Park Miyun Reservoir

I took the kids to a fairy tale town near the Miyun Reservoir in Beijing this weekend.
