Four Points By Sheraton Langfang Gu'an Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Tranquil Retreat, the 5 Star Way
#Get away from it all.
We booked into the Four Points by Sheraton, situated in Gu'am Langfang over the Labour Day Holidays.
The Hotel exceeded our expectations thusfar, and we felt right at home upon arrival.
Check in was fairly quick, considering that they very fairly busy during this period.
The Hotel is situated in a tranquil environment, and you feel relaxing when in and around the hotel.
During the Spring Season, guests will enjoy lots of greenery around the Hotel.
We were suprised to discover a small farmyard zoo, with animals such as Rabbits, Guinea fowl and so on.
More impressive, the two Alpacas, something you don't often see in your life.
We enjoyed a buffet dinner at the Restaurant, wich is situated opposite the Lobby Lounge.
After dinner, we enjoyed some Wine and Cocktails at the Lobby Lounge.
This is truly a great Hotel, and we will support them often going forward.
Michael & Nici Exploring China and Beyond An Elegant Night
#elegant
The Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, in Gu'an Langfang, is ideal for an elegant evening out.
We thourougly enjoyed some time at the sophisticated Lobby Lounge and Restaurant.
As well as the outdoors, as we were seated on the wooden deck, later that evening.
The weather was most pleasent, truly a remarkable Spring Day. We were yet again enjoying the Alpacas, they are magnificent creatures (and well taken care of).
Guests can purchase their very own Alpaca stuffed animals, inside the Hotel or at the Restaurant. (A nice souvenir, to remember your time here).
Happy hour at the Lobby Lounge was very relaxing, the ideal setting to enjoy a glass of wine.
Dinner at the Restaurant was on International Standard, the dishes were well prepared and very tasty indeed.
This is the ideal Hotel to visit, if you wish to get out of the city a bit.

Dahu Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
A magical place just an hour away from Beijing, nice
🌈 So close, so beautiful, head to Hebei for the weekend.
👍 Here's a weekend getaway spot just an hour's drive from Beijing that's perfect for leisure and taking the kids: Gu'an Peacock City Great Lake Park in Langfang.
💃 With a five-star environment, free parking, restaurants, a Costa coffee shop, the Walnut Bar, Melody KTV, and a dedicated children's playground, there's usually a starry sky music festival performance on the lawn in front of the Costa coffee shop on Saturday nights, offering a one-stop solution for adults and children's entertainment! A leisurely walk by the lake after dinner is also very pleasant!
📍 Nearby facilities:
1⃣️ About a 10-minute drive from Beijing Wildlife Park.
2⃣️ Just a few minutes' drive from the Four Points by Sheraton in Gu'an.
We usually take the kids to the zoo during the day, dine at the Great Lake Park in the evening, watch the lawn starry sky concert, and when tired, head back to the hotel to rest. Staying at the hotel also allows free access to the rooftop swimming pool.
3⃣️ If you have the energy the next day, you can also visit the Gu'an Yongding International Trade City (wholesale market), which offers a wide variety of goods at affordable prices. I've been there many times and always come back with a full load, haha!
🎈 Save this if you need it, friends!

Beijing Weekend One-Stop Child Fun—Dahu Park
Dahu Park is located in the core area of Peacock City in the North Development Zone of Gu'an, by the Yongding River. It is the largest artificial lake in Gu'an and is known as the 'Eye of Gu'an'.
The park's trail is a lakeside jogging path, 2 kilometers long, with willows and flowers planted along the way. A morning stroll here offers a fragrance of flowers and plants every ten steps, with fish swimming between water and shadows, migratory birds resting occasionally, and the breeze rustling through the reeds. With its scenic courtyard architecture and neighborhood streets, it is an excellent place for jogging, cycling, lake viewing, and brisk walking.
Along the green spaces by the lakeside trail and near the restaurants, people set up tents or lay out picnic mats.
The park offers rowboats, kayaks, pedal boats, and floating tube boats. There are turtles, swans, ducks, mandarin ducks, and flocks of pigeons that are super cute. Remember to bring some small bread or steamed buns to feed them nearby.
There are many restaurants around the lake, including hot pot, Japanese barbecue, home cooking, dessert shops, cafes, ice cream, small bars, and more. There are also outdoor dining spots by the lake and popular bubble houses.
The park's attractions include Swan Lake, Hobbit Garden Maze, Xinhua Bookstore, Super Theater Light Show, Children's Playground, and more. There's also the popular voice-controlled shouting fountain, next to a free children's playground with various non-powered facilities perfect for child fun, where you can enjoy unrestricted parent-child time.

Shengbaiwei (gu'an) Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
This place is the first choice for family banquets! You really can't go wrong
⭐️⭐️ Our family gatherings always prefer to come to this Sheng Bai Wei·Family Banquet Restaurant. It's a popular restaurant recommendation in the suburbs of Beijing, and the No.1 Gu'an Roast Duck. Both the taste and the environment are impeccable!
💕💕 The restaurant has 40 private rooms, not only suitable for family dinners but also perfect for business banquets, birthday parties, and wedding receptions. The most important thing is that there are membership benefits, with many discounts on members' day!
🌷🌷 Lychee Wood Roast Duck:
The roast duck here is really good, made through 18 processes, all by chefs with twenty years of experience in roasting duck on-site. You can taste the faint fruity wood flavor with each bite, the skin is crispy, and the duck meat is tender and delicious, really super fragrant!
✨✨ Hundred Flavors Spicy Fried Shrimp:
All the shrimp used are fresh and large, and they are really super fragrant when fried in hot oil! Each one is crispy and crunchy, and you just can't stop eating them!
🌷🌷 Pot Stewed Spicy Chicken:
It contains a lot of Sichuan peppercorns and vine peppercorns, making it really spicy and fragrant with a unique taste. The chicken inside is also very tender. This special flavor is highly recommended, and friends who come to eat should not miss it!

Hampton by Hilton Gu'an New Airport Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Daxing International Airport Affordable Overnight Guide, Gu'an Hilton Garden Inn
Guangdong's torrential rains have washed away the well-planned itinerary, and by the time I arrived at Beijing Daxing Airport, it was already midnight. Based on past experience, I could only stay at an airport hotel for the night, but unfortunately, the two hotels I stayed at before (Airport Fairfield and Hilton Garden) had raised their prices too much. I had to look further away and noticed that Hebei Gu'an, not far from Daxing Airport, has a cluster of overnight hotels, including branches of Hilton and Marriott, with friendly prices.
I found out by phone that Gu'an city is located southwest of Daxing Airport, and a ride-hailing trip costs about 40 yuan one way, taking about half an hour without traffic jams. Unfortunately, the hotel currently does not offer a free airport shuttle service.
The front desk was quick to process my arrival, and as a Diamond member, I didn't receive many privileges. It seems that this is typical for the Hilton family, so I settled in. The room was quite spacious, with two 1.2-meter-wide beds side by side, which wouldn't feel too crowded even for four people. Overall, it was the standard Hilton Garden Inn experience, neither too salty nor too bland. After a quick wash, I had a silent night. It's just a pity that the hotel is close to the main road into Beijing, and the constant traffic at night woke me up several times. If you have poor sleep quality, remember to ask for a room facing the inside at the front desk when you check in.
The next day's breakfast was arranged in the restaurant on the fourth floor, with a high standard of food, full of the characteristics of the North China Plain, hearty and simple. The old hen soup was appetizing, followed by stuffed buns, jianbing guozi, knife-cut noodles, and other filling dishes, ending with millet porridge to seal the deal, a carb bomb that definitely satisfies a full stomach.
In summary, it is suitable for passengers who are transferring through Daxing Airport for an overnight stay or heading to other cities in southern Hebei, who are price-sensitive and have relatively ample transfer time.
