Location & Transportation

Mountain Folk Resort sits in a prime spot in Miyun District, Beijing—right by the west shore of the stunning Miyun Reservoir. Just 75 kilometers north of downtown Beijing, it’s easy to reach by car or public transport. A two-hour drive along the scenic G101 highway will have you breathing fresh mountain air and soaking in the tranquility. The resort spans 300 acres, blending seamlessly into its lush surroundings.

Natural Scenery

Nestled between forested hills and crystal-clear waters, Mountain Folk Resort is a nature lover’s paradise. The Miyun Reservoir, one of Beijing’s largest water sources, offers shimmering views and peaceful boat rides. Towering trees, birdsong, and seasonal wildflowers create a postcard-worthy backdrop. In autumn, the resort’s maple and oak forests burst into fiery reds and oranges—a must-see for photographers.

Cultural Highlights

What makes Mountain Folk Resort unique? Its blend of global architecture! Wander through Northern Chinese courtyard homes, colorful villas inspired by European designs, and even a Dai-style bamboo house straight out of Yunnan. But the real showstoppers are the traditional Mongolian yurts. Adorned with simple, hand-painted patterns, these yurts feature cushioned seating, overhead lights, and a portrait of Genghis Khan—talk about immersive culture! Even the rustic wooden cabins, with their reddish-brown log frames, feel like a retreat into nature’s embrace.

Accommodation Options

Choose your vibe:

  • Couples’ cabins: Romantic hideaways with private decks.
  • Family villas: Spacious, colorful houses with modern comforts.
  • Yurts & bamboo houses: Perfect for groups wanting a cultural twist.
  • Beijing-style courtyards: Quaint homes with stone paths and plump beds.
    Each option is designed to make you feel at home—while stepping off the grid.

Local Experiences

At Mountain Folk Resort, every detail feels intentional. Start your day with a hike along the reservoir’s trails, then borrow a kayak to explore the glassy waters. Back at the resort, try barbecue dining under the stars—staff will grill local lamb skewers while you sip tea. For a deeper dive into culture, join a folk craft workshop (think Mongolian throat singing or paper cutting). At night, the yurts’ soft lighting and cushioned floors make storytelling sessions feel magical.

Dining & Activities

Hungry? Feast on homestyle Northern Chinese dishes made with organic ingredients—think dumplings, roasted goat, and cornbread. The resort also hosts bonfire nights with music and dancing. Adventure seekers can rent bikes, fish in the reservoir, or tackle the zip line over the treetops. For relaxation, book a massage in the bamboo house or simply nap on your yurt’s plush cushions.

Why Visit?

Mountain Folk Resort isn’t just a hotel—it’s a mini-vacation from city life. Whether you’re here to reconnect with nature, snap Instagram-worthy photos, or try a night in a yurt, it’s hard not to leave refreshed. Pro tip: Visit on a weekday to beat the crowds and snag the best yurts!
