Autumn in Beijing seems to offer natural artistry ample scope. The colors are intoxicating, the scents are captivating, and every sight is filled with a lasting aftertaste. Red maple leaves paint the mountains and forests; yellow ginkgo trees carpet the earth with gold; and green holly perpetuates the vitality of life into the present day...

From the bustling and glamorous city, drive all the way to Badaling Peacock City. This is a unique paradise. A European-style town, elegant villas, clean and tidy streets, artistic courtyards... The artistic atmosphere of the streets and alleys echoes the European style, and exquisite sculptures blend seamlessly with artistic lines, everything is filled with a unique artistic sentiment.

Imagine yourself as the owner of Badaling Peacock City. On a lazy afternoon, the fairytale-like Hutu Garden opens its arms to welcome guests. Like a princess in a fairytale, order a cup of exquisite afternoon tea accompanied by soft and delicious pastries, and gaze at the flowers and lush trees shading the European-style buildings. In this moment, even silence is a perfect beauty. Some say a vacation isn't about how far you travel, but choosing the right place. I always tell myself I'll experience the joy of traveling the world and savor the comfort of returning to nature whenever I have the chance. The campsite, not far from Manshiguang Shopping Street, lets you experience the joy of nature. Here, the mountains call to mind, the greenery soothes us. Here, we stop rushing and instead pause, finding peace and tranquility step by step. You can pick wildflowers along the way, listen to the birds singing, gaze at the wind, and converse with the sky—life is just like this moment, peaceful and joyful; every simple moment is as beautiful as poetry. Surrounding Badaling Peacock City is a vast vineyard. This fertile land is particularly suitable for growing grapes. As it happens, grapes are one of my favorite fruits. So, of course, I wouldn't miss such a great opportunity. The crystal-clear green grapes, like clusters of green gems, hang heavy and charmingly, complementing the emerald green grape leaves, making it tempting to pick them. The vineyards are scientifically managed and cultivated. Square concrete pillars support the grapevines, while rows of grape trellises form neatly arranged green corridors with paths running through them. Both management and harvesting are user-friendly, stimulating visitors and inspiring a love of grape picking. Picking a green gem and putting it in your mouth is filled with sweetness that fills your heart with joy all day long. Next, I'd like to strongly recommend a truly beautiful place: Guanting Lake. As Beijingers know, it's the first major reservoir built after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Its upstream reaches feed three tributaries: the Sanggan River, the Yang River, and the Guishui River. The Sanggan and Yang Rivers merge in Huailai County, Hebei Province, forming the Yongding River, which is considered Beijing's mother river.

Even before entering this romantic place, your heart and soul are already captivated by the reeds, meadows, and waterways. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the refreshing colors and the artistic and unwavering focus on the original heart offer a place of rest for the soul, a break from the steel and iron tile city life. The fatigue and hustle and bustle of the world dissipate, and you drift on the wind over this vast expanse of blue lake. I have always loved Sanmao’s words: “If there is an afterlife, whether I am loved or not, I will strive to be a lovely person. I will be brilliant in the sun, run in the wind and rain, dream my own dreams, and walk my own way.” So, I think we are lucky that we don’t have to wait until the next life to find Badaling Peacock City, a place like this, where we can walk our own way brilliantly and experience such scenery! If you are tired of playing and want to find a place to rest, Crowne Plaza Huailai is a good choice for you. This is the finest five-star hotel in the area, boasting a minimalist and elegant architecture, elegant teak wood, and mysterious gray walls. Meticulously tended flowers and plants, along with ingenious and ingenious decorations, create a beautiful backdrop for this hotel.

If you have special food preferences, you can also enjoy exquisite dining here. The pristine white tableware, the exquisite food, the art of gourmet cuisine dancing on the tips of the knives and forks. The restaurant, with its understated elegance, nestles amidst the hotel's vibrant blossoms. Brightly lit, shimmering luminous glasses complement vibrantly colored plates, creating a vibrant fusion of culinary delights and artistic living. However, you might not realize this hotel also hides a secret: an indoor children's play area and a large children's water park, offering a wide variety of entertainment options. Both young and old will find something to enjoy. The children's park is filled with toys and activities for children, including slides, trampolines, and drawing boards. The large water park is a haven for children. Believe me, even you, as an adult, will love it here, after all, there's a playful little kid in us all.

The story of time embodies confusion, exhaustion, setbacks, anticipation, joy, loneliness, and relief... Within Badaling Peacock City Lucerne Original lies the happiness of life within us. Here, beauty hides in every corner, and our joy lies in discovering it and savoring the joy of finding it. Like the unknown world of life, it is there, waiting for our exploration.
