While Dachengzi Middle School in Miyun District isn't a conventional tourist spot, it offers an authentic glimpse into suburban Beijing life. The red-brick campus surrounded by rolling hills creates a serene escape from city chaos, where you can observe local education in action. Don't miss the nearby farmhouse restaurants serving organic produce, or the seasonal mountain harvest markets. Pro tip: Autumn visits reward you with fiery foliage views across the Yanshan Mountains - perfect for photography enthusiasts seeking off-the-beaten-path scenes.

Escape the city with your family to this 4,000-acre mountain retreat where every room is a room with a view—whether it's a private courtyard suite or a luxury mountain-facing villa. Packed with family-friendly amenities: kids' playground, fruit-picking, BBQ campsites (yes, open flames allowed!), and even pet-friendly policies. Unwind in the hot springs or explore hiking trails, then sip tea in the garden pavilion. With scenic picnic spots and fishing ponds, it's nature's playground at your doorstep.
