We had a wonderful day trip to Yanqi lake. It took us less than 1.5 hours to drive there on a weekday. I have been wanting to go to the Sunrise Kempinski building for years as it looks so cool and I have seen it many times while driving past it. Finally I made it. It’s actually super nice to see it from the side that is pointing towards the lake. We enjoyed a buffet lunch at the Element restaurant of the second floor of the hotel. A variety of different foods to choose from. After spending some time at the hotel we rented bikes and did a bike tour around the area. Very professional bikes and the bike renters even provided us with two guides and a medical person as we came in a group of 30 people. After biking for about an hour or so we ended our trip at Yanqi hotel where we had dinner at the restaurant called lake palace. Amazing food and the hotel looks fantastic from what we saw of the views of the lake and amazing lobby area. Next time I would love to come here for an afternoon tea. #huairou #beijing #Yanqilake #biking

According to legend, during the Tang Dynasty, Yanqi Lake became a royal hunting ground because of its wide lakeshore and pleasant scenery. Later, Yanqi Lake gradually developed into a scenic spot and received a lot of praise and description from literati. Bai Juyi, a literati in the Qing Dynasty, once described Yanqi Lake in his famous sentence as 'the wind turns the white waves into thousands of flowers, and the geese dot the blue sky into a line', which shows that the scenery of Yanqi Lake at that time was very charming. We took a direct boat, 6 people per boat, 200 yuan per hour, electric boat, just control the direction with the steering wheel, but the range that can be driven is not large, if there is a strong wind, it is not recommended to take a boat, it will be more shaky. If you like cycling, the cycling path next to Yanqi Lake is a good choice, you can ride along the lakeshore. If you want to take a walk, the fitness trail on the lakeshore is very good, you can walk and enjoy the lake view and the surrounding natural scenery. If you like thrilling amusement facilities, Yanqi Lake also has rafting, water flying, yachts, bumper cars, carousels, motorcycle riders, bumblebees and other amusement facilities that will let you experience more thrills and fun.
