    • Cherry Channel
       Location: Northwest of the Sleeping Buddha Temple, close to the Fragrant Hills in Haidian distric (Northwest Beijing). The name comes from the cherry trees on both sides of a mountain stream. There are also other flowering trees: apricot, peach, Chinese flowering crabapple, peony. The place is also known for Yuan Bao Shi from which came Cao Xueqin’s famous works The Dream of the Red Mansion. (The tip for this place came from Xianzai Beijing)
    • Goose & Duck Ranch in Huairou. You can stay in a cabin, or a room. With regard to activities you can engage in swiming, horseback riding, may be some hiking, some fishing in near by fish farms — not exactly a big challenge but still better than nothing. The weird activity is the entertainment arcade. Free bus transportation from Goose & Duck Pub near West Gate, Chaoyang Park. About an hour ride north of Beijing.
