A Moon Over the Water: 2-Day Trip to Huairou's Sunrise Kempinski Hotel

Huairou is a beautiful area of Beijing, with many scenic spots: Yanqi Lake, Hongluo Temple, Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall, Shentangyu. It’s close to the city center and easy to reach—especially for people living in the eastern part, who love heading to Huairou on weekends. I’ve climbed Hongluo Temple many times with my twin boys, stayed at Yanqi Lake State Guesthouse, and even joined a football camp there. But this 'sun' building (or moon, depending how you see it) at Sunrise Kempinski Hotel—I’d never stayed there.

"I send a message through the world, inviting snow to celebrate, bringing you the crisp winter air." The first snow arrives quietly, romantic snowflakes filling the sky and covering Yunmeng Mountain. Playful little snowflakes dance, as if freezing the worries of autumn and the stress of the city in this very moment.
