Very good hotel, in the center, more than 10 kilometers to Jinhai Lake. The toilet, sink and shower in the room are separated, very good. The exterior of the hotel is atmospheric, the inside is clean and tidy, especially the service attitude is very good. The breakfast buffet is quite satisfactory. Hotel parking is very convenient, the only regret is that there is no charging pile. There are food stalls in the hotel yard, and the variety is also rich, very convenient.
During the May Day holiday, I went to Jinhai Lake to play and bought tickets for Jinhai Lake on Trip.com. The ticket bought with the hotel reservation is 34 yuan, which is 4 yuan cheaper, but only one. Jinhai Lake is clean and tidy, with a wide view. You can choose to take the elevator or walk up to the dam. There were not too many tourists on May Day, the air was very good, and it was quite good to go for a walk and relax.
Going on the Qingming holiday, it may come a little early, it is quite cold. Many flowers have not opened, but the lake is very clear, the scenery is not bad, the reservoir fish farmhouse is good.
The May Day holiday caught up with the good weather in Beijing. The scenery of Yanqi Lake is very beautiful. Children like the amusement projects very much. Cruises and speedboats are worth experiencing. You can also use drone aerial photography to feel the beauty of different perspectives.
Worth a trip to Jinhai Lake
Jinhai Lake is located in Pinggu District, about two hours' drive from Beijing. There is a parking lot at the entrance of the scenic spot, which is more convenient. Buying tickets on Trip.com is 2 yuan cheaper than the entrance of the scenic spot, but after purchasing tickets online, you still have to pick up tickets on the spot. It is nearly 11 o'clock to enter the scenic spot. There is a dining and entertainment center not far from the entrance. You can eat fried noodles, hot dogs, ice cream, etc. A bowl of fried noodles is about 25 ~ 30 yuan. However, there is no one here to eat. Later we learned that everyone came with snacks and dry food. Jinhai Lake's tour roughly includes two parts: dam water project and peach island land project. The so-called "peach island", as the name implies, depends on peach blossoms or picking peaches, but we traveled on the Dragon Boat Festival, naturally there is no such thing. In addition, peach island has to be charged separately, so we did not go to the island. There is a large lawn under the dam. I don't know if I can do activities or weddings. There is a promenade on it. Sitting on the promenade, you can see the lake and the mountain view in the distance. The water activities of Jinhai Lake mainly include bungee jumping, rope slipping, rowing various boats, etc. The rope slipping is not afraid at all, 100 yuan a time. For the Dragon Boat Festival, we rowed an electric boat, and the card point was half an hour. There was a hotel next to Jinhai Lake. If you want to book in advance, it is wonderful, but we just went for a leisure trip, so we didn't live there. Overall, it is a well-regulated resort. If you go to pick and see peach blossoms, I don't know if there is another interest.
