Dajiaoyucun

Tucked away in Beijing's outskirts, Dajiaoyu Village is a hidden gem untouched by tourist crowds! Centuries-old houses with grey brick roofs cascade down the hillside, while remnants of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall snake across mountain ridges. Don't miss the 300-year-old scholar tree at the village entrance where locals dry persimmons - the whole place smells like wood-fired meals. Stay overnight in a countryside homestay to witness breathtaking starry skies that attract astrophotographers!
