Overview:

Begin your day deep at a mountainside temple that predates Beijing itself. Surrounded by misty peaks and ancient trees, this sacred site has witnessed dynasties come and go — and invites a slower, more reflective pace. Then, just down the hill, step into a very different world: a creative countryside enclave where cafés, small shops, and weekend markets have brought fresh energy into the valley. Here, art and design meet slow living in a mountain setting — part retreat, part quiet revival. This escape pairs the stillness of a thousand-year-old sanctuary with the rhythm of a modern-day utopia — a journey through time, mood, and landscape.

Free cancellation • Full refund if cancelled up to 48 hours before the experience starts (local time).

☑️ Step into a design-forward rural valley where concept shops and creative studios are quietly reshaping village life.

☑️ Experience a curated contrast: heritage without the crowds, and countryside culture beyond nostalgia.
