Baoding Courtyard - A Tree of Life The falling dates go 'ding dong'

Baoding Sunny Farming and Rainy Reading Homestay A 2.5-hour drive from Beijing and 20 minutes from Baoding city center on the West Second Ring, there is a Mediterranean-style homestay, the Early-to-Bed-Early-to-Rise Courtyard. Push open the door, and a fresh breath of quaintness hits you, with green grass, rocking chairs, wooden platforms, floor-to-ceiling windows, Mediterranean-style living quarters, a flower wall full of roses, and date trees heavy with fruit! Wooden beams, tables made of logs, sofas of cotton and linen in the Nordic style, sunlight streaming in, where you can sit down to drink a cup of tea, read a book, and slowly enjoy this cozy and warm time. Huge floor-to-ceiling windows capture all the sunlight and floating clouds. The meditation space in the eastern room has already become a popular spot for social media check-ins, where you can take photos that are as ethereal as you like, full of Zen and spirituality. Then take a bubble bath in the tub, washing away all the worldly dust. You can have a picnic on the grass, or throw a beautiful party with friends. Turn left out the door, and you can wander through the beautiful scenery of the thousand-year-old ancient town of Dajidian, experience the local customs and gourmet food, or go to the Jiumu Bamboo Courtyard Art Museum to enjoy a half-day of handicraft time. Turn right along the road, and you're at the ecological park, starting a leisurely ancient town garden tour! Find a free day to come here, with sunshine and flowers, a study and a bed, seize the time to escape the bustling city and return to the countryside amidst this lush greenery.
