Summer Recommendation | Wangfujing Courtyard Private Hot Spring Homestay

Jul 8, 2025
In the increasingly autumnal Beijing, a cool breeze blows over gray tiles and phoenix trees.
Behind the wooden door at No. 75 Bensi Hutong,
a quiet courtyard hides the gentleness and slow pace of the old city.
This is—
Beijing Daizhu Youlan Hotel.
A place that makes you slow down and listen to your own breath again.
🏮 Youlan under the night sky
As night falls, lights flicker.
Light spills through the lattice wooden windows, spreading a soft glow on the bluestone road.
The scent of osmanthus and tea intertwines in the air,
a pot of hot tea, a lamp, a casual chat,
autumn in Beijing, just perfect.
🌿 Stay in a room with warmth
Every detail in Youlan carries warmth—
wooden floors with underfloor heating, a tea seat by the window,
the mist rising from the soaking pool,
and freely available laundry and drying facilities,
offering travelers peace and comfort.
Open the window to see the greenery of the courtyard,
winter is approaching,
yet inside there is still warm tea and soft light.
🚶♀️ Set off from Youlan, encounter old Beijing
The hotel is located in a quiet hutong in Dongcheng District,
around the corner is the intersection of voices and history:
🚇 Dengshikou Subway Station · 5-minute walk
🏯 The Forbidden City / Tiananmen Square · 15-minute walk
🛍️ Wangfujing Street · 10-minute walk
🏮 Jingshan / Beihai / Nanluoguxiang · 10-minute drive
From here,
you can climb Jingshan to watch the late autumn sunset,
or in the depths of a winter night hutong,
smell the sweetness of candied hawthorn and the warmth of the stove.
☕ Tea fragrance lingers · Winter begins
In the garden in the afternoon, sunlight falls on the table.
A handmade pastry, a cup of warm tea,
letting autumn extend into the prelude of winter.
Youlan’s garden afternoon tea
is another kind of gentleness in the courtyard.
And when the north wind first rises,
the specially blended hot flower tea and herbal drinks
keep this season’s warmth for travelers.
🌸 A soft corner of a city
Youlan is not just a name.
It is the breath of old Beijing and a refuge in the traveler’s heart.
At the gentlest corner of this city,
time slows down,
and life begins to shine.
