Beijing | Stunning Private Hot Spring and Sauna Homestay at the Foot of the Great Wall

| A breathtaking private hot spring and sauna homestay nestled by the Great Wall. As winter arrives in Beijing, I stumbled upon this gorgeous private hot spring homestay. Located right at the foot of the Great Wall, it's perfect for a side trip~ ❤️ About the Room: I originally came for the private hot spring, but to my surprise, the room also had a standalone sauna! The outdoor hot spring offers great privacy and is super photogenic 📸. The entire space is spacious—over 100 square meters—featuring not just a bathtub 🛁 but also a tea-drinking area, all exquisitely and cleverly designed. 💙 About Photos: Here’s the highlight for us girls! There’s a terrace on the second floor with direct views of the Great Wall~ It even has a swing—perfect for stunning photos in a long dress 📸. There’s also a massive massage pool with a wave mode. Soaking in the hot spring while gazing at the Great Wall is absolutely magical. For the best shots, aim for sunset 🌇 when the lighting is dreamy—it feels just like being in Changbai Mountain! 💛 Unique Features: The living area offers costume changes, with over a dozen traditional outfits to choose from~ The tea room is decorated in a charmingly antique style. Sipping warm tea in winter is incredibly cozy, and dressing up in traditional attire makes every photo look like a masterpiece. The flame 🔥 fireplace adds a touch of elegance to the living room. Sitting by it with a book makes for a leisurely afternoon~ The courtyard is equally picturesque, featuring a white spiral staircase. I practically took enough photos to last me all winter 🤭🤭 💜 Service: They even have my favorite tea-boiling by the fireplace! The staff helped us roast sweet potatoes and oranges 🍊—so warm and photogenic. With only six rooms in the entire homestay, it’s never crowded, ensuring great privacy. The staff are also incredibly attentive. 💖 Dining: Right next door is an authentic Thai restaurant. The homestay provides breakfast and afternoon tea, while we had lunch and dinner at "Ahan Thai"—absolutely authentic! The best part? The scenery is stunning, with a large courtyard perfect for photos. Be sure to visit at night when the lights are on! - 🏡 Homestay: Guanshanyue Homestay (Great Wall Branch) 📍 Location: No. 58, Shifosi Village, Badaling Town, Yanqing District (just a short walk to Shuiguan Great Wall—so convenient!) 👗 Outfit Tips: In winter, opt for a fluffy coat, preferably in white or khaki. For swimwear, bring one black and one white—great for both day and night shots!
