Baihe Ant Villa Water Park sits nestled in Qingshiling Village, Liuliu Temple Town, Huairou District, Beijing. This area is part of Baihe Bay, a stunning natural riverside spot known for its lush landscapes. The village itself is a市级民俗旅游村（a government-recognized folk tourism hub）, making it easy to experience authentic local culture.

To get here, drive about 80 kilometers northeast of downtown Beijing via the G45 expressway. Public transport options include taking a bus to Huairou District and then a taxi or local shuttle to the park. Nearby attractions like Mutianyu Great Wall, Hongluo Temple, Yanqi Lake, and Qinglong Gorge are all within a 30–60-minute drive, making this a perfect home base for exploring northern Beijing’s highlights.

Natural Scenery

Baihe Bay’s crown jewel is its white-water rafting, hailed as京北第一漂（northern Beijing’s top drifting spot）. The river winds through towering mountains and dense forests, offering thrilling rapids for adrenaline junkies. Off the water, hikers can explore trails lined with wildflowers, birch trees, and hidden caves. Winter transforms the area into a snowy wonderland with skiing opportunities nearby.

The park’s crowning natural feature is its 300-meter iron-chain suspension bridge, one of Beijing’s longest. Walking across it feels like stepping into the clouds, with valleys and rivers stretching below. For quieter moments, anglers can fish for wild trout in the crystal-clear river—no license required!

Cultural Charm

Staying at Baihe Ant Villa means immersing yourself in rural Chinese life. The resort’s traditional courtyard houses (四合院) blend old-world charm with modern comforts: air-conditioned rooms, private bathrooms, and even heated brick beds (火炕) for winter. Each courtyard sleeps 6–10 people, ideal for families or groups.

The village’s history dates back centuries, and you’ll feel it in details like stone pathways, wooden carved doors, and evenings spent roasting marshmallows around a campfire under the stars. Locals warmly share stories about the area’s farming roots and seasonal festivals.

Lodging & Dining

The resort offers two main stays: standard hotel rooms and cozy courtyard houses. Both include Wi-Fi, heating, and en-suite bathrooms. In winter, rooms use a mix of central heating, air conditioning, and traditional fire pits (地暖) to stay toasty. The on-site restaurant serves hearty family-style meals for up to 200 guests, with dishes like:

  • Golden melon stew with abalone (a sweet, smoky specialty).
  • Grilled rainbow trout caught fresh from the river.
  • Wild vegetable stir-fries using mountain herbs.
  • Homemade cornbread baked in a wood-fired oven.

Adventure & Relaxation

Days here are packed with activities. Start with a rafting trip led by professional guides—great for beginners or pros. Afterward, test your balance on the wobbly suspension bridge or challenge friends to a fishing contest by the riverbank. In winter, nearby slopes offer skiing, while summer nights buzz with barbecues and karaoke under fairy lights.

For laid-back moments, stroll along the riverbank, try your hand at archery, or join a cooking class to make dumplings with villagers. The resort even hosts stargazing events and bonfire parties with live music.
