Beijing Pinggu District: Log Cabin in Jinhai Lake

In the bank of Jinhai Lake, there is a peculiar and eye-catching place which is called “Lakeside Log Cabins of Wisteria Blossom ”. In the last summer vacation of Beijing Xian tour, I went there and took some photos. And I have to say, it is really really beautiful!

On the hillside, the exquisite and unique log cabins are properly distributed, with the gravel walk connecting the over-20 log cabins of various styles on the hill together. Why we say it unique, there are two reasons: Firstly, it is the only one in Beijing; Secondly, the log cabins are all built in the trees, which is obviously well-designed. The cunninghamia lanceolata supporting “Diaojiaolou” (a kind of wood columns supporting building which is a residential house and is usually seen in southeastern China) gives you a delusion of an ancient town of south China. What the most peculiar are the two on-tree log cabins, which became the focus of tourists’ attention. Walking among it, you will experience the warm and peace of the nature and get far away the madding crowd.

Jinhai Lake is 85 kilometers away of downtown Beijing. It is a famous tourist attraction in Beijing and therefore became a desirable place of leisure and entertainment for young people on vacations.There is the largest comprehensive water amusement park here, with being embraced on three sides by mountains. The colorful water sports have attracts a great number of tourists. After the Beijing travel, I continued my Xian package tour, which also left me a deep impression. Stories to be told next time.
