Manlu Guesthouse Near Great Wall  

At the foot of the Great Wall in Donggong Village West, Jiuduhe Town, Huairou District — about a 1.5–2 hour drive from Beijing city center. Nearby sights called out by the property include the Summer Palace, 798 Space and Lama Temple. This guesthouse-style retreat is family-friendly and made for slow, scenic stays.

Manlu’s white facade blends into the Wall with a “Dwelling in the past, quiet joy” design that aims for calm and simplicity. Rooms come with a TV and slippers, and the grounds mix quiet corners like a book bar (with a plaque by Grandma Bing Xin) and a stargazing terrace with playful family features like a sand pit, slide, swing and trampoline.

Expect a lively mix of on-site options: coffee bar, bar, KTV/karaoke, swimming pool, gym, library, billiards, basketball, badminton, table tennis and an Xbox gaming console. There’s a picnic area, parking, laundry and an elevator too — wake up to Great Wall mornings and plenty to do on the property.

Meeting room and a dedicated team-building area make this a fit for retreats, brainstorming sessions, meditation or yoga workshops.

A coffee bar, on-site restaurant and evening bar serve breakfast, casual meals and drinks to keep the day slow and social.
