Dachang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

Not in the Middle East, but in Hebei, so close yet so beautiful, the Daqiu Ethnic Palace

After departing from the Guomao Bridge on the Third Ring Road in Beijing and heading east, passing through the Tongzhou sub-center and entering Hebei, there is a Daqiu Hui Autonomous County. On the west side of the county town is the Daqiu Ethnic Palace. Designed by Professor He Jing Tang, it is modeled after a mosque and adopts the traditional Chinese cultural concept of 'Heaven is round, Earth is square'. The main body of the Ethnic Palace is composed of a semi-circular dome and a square base, surrounded by 56 petal-shaped arches forming a colonnade, symbolizing the great unity of 56 ethnic groups. From the outside, the building is majestic and distinctive. The Ethnic Palace is surrounded by a ring of water, which creates reflections of the building, making it dynamic and wonderful, with a strong exotic charm, resembling foreign architecture.

For residents of Beijing, it's just an hour's drive from the East Fifth Ring Road to reach this exotic sanctuary. No tickets are required, no reservations needed, Daichang National Palace opens its doors to every visitor from Monday to Friday. The parking lot is just across the street, free and convenient. The building itself, designed by Academician He Jing Tang, who is known as the 'Father of Chinese Pavilions', draws inspiration from traditional mosques, ingeniously incorporating the unity and prosperity of all 56 ethnic groups in China. The round shape of the heavens, the pure white dome, and the surrounding water system make this place a paradise for photography enthusiasts. What's more, this place is not just a building with external beauty. The library inside is a paradise for children and a haven for adults. The library is divided into two floors, each with its unique charm. The children's and youth reading area on the first floor is equipped with reading booths, touch screen quizzes, and other interactive facilities, allowing children to learn while playing, while the second floor is more suitable for adults to read quietly. However, it should be noted that the library's opening hours are divided into morning and afternoon sessions. During the lunch break, you might want to try some authentic Hui cuisine nearby, then come back and continue to immerse yourself in the sea of books. The outdoor plaza of Daichang National Palace is also not to be missed.

Feast, at the Chaobai River

#goodfoods The Feast Signature Restaurant, is without a doubt the best Restaurant in this area. Situated within the Sheraton Langfang, Chaobai River Hotel, it's ideal for Hotel guests and walk in clientele. The Restaurant is beautiful, and well decorated, with ample seating available. We enjoyed a variety of professionally prepared dishes, ranging from Western Cuisine to Asian Cuisine. There are also a variety of pastries and deserts available, to select from. Main dishes include Fish, Barbecue, Carvery and numerous side dishes. This is worth the visit, and you are sure to enjoy a grear meal, in a memorable setting.

Sheraton, Surrounded by Nature

#trip We enjoyed a relaxing weekend away, at The Sheraton Langfang, Chaobai River Hotel. This hotel is somewhat remote, and perhaps best to visit, if you have ample time available to travel. Upon entering the Hotel, guests will enjoy the open plan look, and the greenery of the distant garden (next to the Lobby Lounge). There is a water fountain, in the center of the reception area. We found the room to be well decorated, the bed was extremely comfortable and the bathtub was rather large. You'll enjoy beautiful views of the greenery from your room window. The Indoor Swimming pool is nice, especially during the Summer months. Guests will enjoy the Gymnasium as well, as it's well equipped. There is an independently operated "Massage Service", within the Hotel, I can highly recommend the therapists.

This Beijing suburb five-star hotel is super cost-effective and can play all day live in the east, and the surrounding activities are nearby. From Tongzhou along the Chaobai River, about 50 minutes to the Sheraton Chaobai River. This is a veteran five-star hotel suitable for parents and children, cost-effective, grounded. There are many children's facilities in the hotel, indoor and outdoor children's playgrounds, and heated water pools. It is a 10-minute walk from the small park next to it, and there is also a dream oriental space park for the larger children. Outdoor Children's Park is behind the main building of the hotel. It takes three minutes to walk. There are slides, sand digging pools, climbing rope ladders, etc. It is also open to the surrounding residents. The indoor children's playground and swimming pool are on the top floor of the hotel. The indoor children's park is divided into two parts. The ocean ball pool is independent. The slides, trampolines and swivel chairs are in another room. The space is slightly cramped. The ten children are the upper limit, and the crowd is very crowded. But no one was in the first half hour of our trip. The pool has a large pool of 25 meters of swimming lanes, next to the warm water pool, the parents with the baby are mainly concentrated here. I went to see no one in the afternoon, and there were more people after dinner. Regardless of that, I still play. The buffet dinner is very rare, too simple, and the seafood table is empty for almost half of the time. I saw several male compatriots rushing several times. If it is not a dinner package that does not include dinner, it is not recommended to eat at the hotel. Breakfast is richer than dinner, tastes good, recommended. The room is the traditional old-fashioned traditional five-star hotel layout. We lived in the twin standard room and it was totally satisfactory.

Spring Camping | The campsite that doesn't cost over a hundred per person is actually pretty good

Went camping with friends during the holiday, which was also the first trip of the year, to a campsite we hadn't been to before. The online information listed it as Tongzhou District, but in reality, the place, Dachang, is right on the border with Hebei, and the campsite is in Hebei. However, the trip there wasn't congested, and it was relatively quick overall. We went on the third day of the holiday, so there were fewer people, and the place was quite spacious. They charge per person, and if you're not staying overnight, it's 78 yuan per person to hang out for the day, which is pretty nice. It's a pure camping site, with no rivers nearby, so it's not recommended for those who want to go fishing. The campsite has shower rooms, toilets, and a service center, offering barbecue grills and various other facilities. Overall, it's quite nice. It's just that the season hasn't brought the shade of green trees yet, so it feels a bit desolate, but I think it will be better once the leaves come in.
