Great Wall Shanshui Wopeng Hostel  

Tucked just outside Beijing near the Great Wall, this photography-themed B&B sits close to Longqingxia Scenic Spot and Shijinglong Ski Resort. It’s a short drive from Yudu Mountain, Songshan Mountain and the Ancient Cliff House, and about 30 minutes from Badaling, World Park, Beijing Safari Park and Wild Duck Lake. The property is surrounded by the Hundred Mile Gallery and the Four Seasons Flower Sea, with the Summer Palace also within reach.

Scandinavian simplicity meets Chinese elements in a clean, photo-focused design. The house has 4 bedrooms (five queen beds and a sofa bed), two living rooms, a dining room, a studio and a tea room, plus balcony and terrace spaces. Bedrooms boast three-meter floor-to-ceiling windows, premium sanitary ware, high-end bedding, 24-hour hot and cold water, and laundry facilities for longer stays.

Swim in the on-site pool, wander the flower beds and relax on wooden decks and terraces. There’s a restaurant, a shared kitchen stocked with cutlery and cookware for DIY meals, a free-use studio and a tea room. Elevator access and accessibility features make upper floors reachable for guests with disabilities.

Stop by the on-site restaurant or take over the shared kitchen and cook what you like—cutlery and kitchenware are provided. Unwind with local tea in the dedicated tea room after a day of hiking or sightseeing.
