Location & Transportation

Beijing 12.5 Farm sits in Miyun District, a breath of fresh air just 20 minutes from downtown Miyun. You’ll find it on Xingqi Road in Henan Zhai Town, right across from Sanyo Heavy Industries. The address might sound tricky, but getting there is easy! Take the Jingcheng Expressway, exit at 16th Exit (Henan Zhai), and drive 1.5 km. If you’re using public transport, hop off at Henan Zhai Town Government Bus Stop—the farm is within walking distance.

Natural Scenery: A Green Escape

At Beijing 12.5 Farm, nature steals the show. Spread over 130 acres, this place feels like a mini oasis. Walk through 107 acres of outdoor fields where seasons paint vivid landscapes: cherry blossoms in spring, golden wheat in summer, and fiery red maples in autumn. The 13-acre greenhouse buzzes with life too—think vibrant tomatoes, cucumbers, and strawberries ripe for picking. Even the 10-acre “other area” (read: cozy courtyards and picnic spots) blends seamlessly with the greenery. It’s perfect for city dwellers craving a dose of countryside calm.

Farm-to-Table Fun: Hands-On Experiences

Forget sterile museums—Beijing 12.5 Farm is all about interaction. Join a veggie-picking session in the fields or learn to plant seedlings in the greenhouse. During harvest season, you can even try your hand at grinding flour or roasting corn over an open fire. Kids love the animal pen (ducks, goats, and fluffy rabbits!) and the DIY workshop, where they can craft souvenirs from natural materials. Pro tip: Visit on a weekend morning for guided tours that dive into sustainable farming practices.

  • Spring: Cherry blossom festivals + strawberry-picking.

Dining & Stay Options

After a day of exploring, refuel at the farm’s on-site restaurant, which serves dishes made from their own produce. Think crisp stir-fried veggies, wood-fired pizzas, and desserts topped with homemade fruit jam. If you’re staying overnight, the guesthouse offers simple yet comfy rooms with countryside views. Bonus: They host stargazing nights in the summer, where you can sip tea under a blanket of stars.
