Travelogue
I stayed in the Second Ring Ancient Courtyard and had the most pleasant sleep of the whole trip
Before coming to Beijing, I always had a stereotypical impression of hotels in the old city area: outdated facilities, poor sound insulation, and cramped spaces. It wasn't until I checked into the The Qomolangma Hotel Beijing China hidden on Gulou West Street that I realized the comfortable accommodation amidst the hustle and bustle, which never conflicted with the 'sense of the times'.
Following the shadow of the locust tree on Gulou West Street, I found the vermilion gate. As I pushed the gate, the sound of car tolls and the noise of tourists in the alley outside were immediately filtered out. The dense shade of the century old cypress covers the bluestone courtyard road, and the shadow of the eaves falls on the ground, even the waiting time for check-in has become a relaxing gap. When handing over the room card at the front desk, I smiled and reminded, 'Your room is on the second floor facing the courtyard, not the street, and you sleep soundly at night.' I didn't pay much attention at the time, but it wasn't until the moment I pushed open the door that I understood how rare this thoughtfulness was.
The nearly 40 square meter room completely lacks the cramped feeling of an old building. The renovation project completed in 2019 perfectly blends modern comfort with ancient Chinese style. There is no one size fits all internet famous hotel style. The warm wooden furniture carries a faint fragrance of raw wood, and the Tibetan style paintings hanging on the walls are particularly in line with the atmosphere of the entire courtyard. The most surprising thing was the two meter wide bed, with high count cotton bedding that was soft and did not collapse. The waist and neck position were firmly supported, completely devoid of the suspended feeling of staying in a strange hotel. Later, after chatting with the front desk, I found out that all the mattresses were specially customized for spine protection, just to allow busy guests to sleep soundly.
The experience of the bathroom space exceeded expectations, with a dry wet separation design that completely prevents water accumulation. The German brand's thermostatic showerhead has stable and dense water output, and after a busy day of sightseeing, the sourness and bloating sensation of standing underwater for ten minutes will dissipate for most of it. The free toiletries have a light herbal fragrance and no cheap pungent sensation. Even the cotton pads used for wiping hands are thick and soft like the styles commonly used at home. What surprised me the most was the sound insulation effect. I was prepared to be awakened by Hu Tongchen's practice, but ended up closing the double-layer soundproof windows. The sound of the wind blowing on the leaves in the courtyard was so light that it was almost inaudible. That night, I slept soundly from just over 10 o'clock until 8 o'clock the next day, which was the deepest sleep I had on my entire northern trip.
Opening the window in the morning, the fragrance of ancient cypress wafted in with the wind, and the warm aroma of butter tea wafted from the Tibetan restaurant downstairs. The breakfast is not fancy, but everything is appetizing: boiled millet porridge, authentic Beijing dishes, hot Tibetan steamed buns, and eating slowly in the shadow of the trees outside the window, without having to rush to the scenic spots. On a leisurely afternoon, I sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, enjoying the breeze, and even forgot to swipe my phone.
After staying at The Qomolangma Hotel Beijing Chinafor three days, I didn't specifically check in at the popular tourist attractions, but found the most relaxed state of travel in this ancient courtyard hidden in the Second Ring Road. A good accommodation experience is never about piling up expensive decorations, but about providing you with a small space in the center of the bustling city where you can sleep soundly. Next time I come back to Beijing, I will definitely come back here and have a good sleep without noise, surrounded by the shadows of trees in the courtyard.Show moreMoving into the ancient courtyard on Gulou West Street, I caught the autumn breeze of the courtyard in the old alleys of the capital city
When I came to Beijing, I didn't want to squeeze into a crowded chain hotel. While browsing through guides, I caught a glimpse of the The Qomolangma Hotel Beijing China hidden next to Shichahai. When I followed the old locust tree shadows on Gulou West Street to find the house number, I realized it was located in the courtyard of the Centennial Pass Yue Temple. Stepping in, the bustling traffic outside was instantly separated from the vermilion gate.
The first thing that catches my eye upon entering are several century old trees that block the sky and the sun. A giant shadow wall stands in the center of the courtyard, and the corners of the eaves still have old patterns. When the wind blows, the shadows of the leaves fall on the bluestone pavement, and even my footsteps unconsciously become lighter. The staff at the front desk spoke with a refreshing tone unique to old Beijing. When handing over the room card, they specifically pointed to the small path outside the window and said, "Ten minutes to the east is Shichahai. It's most comfortable to take a walk in the evening, and you can still watch the sunset when there are not many people
As soon as I pushed open the guest room door, I understood what the old guests meant by "having a taste" - there was no uniform modern hotel style, Chinese wooden furniture with warm patina, and the ink paintings hanging on the walls perfectly matched the ancient atmosphere of the entire courtyard. There are free tea bags in the small tea tray placed on the windowsill. Sip a cup and lean against the window. Looking up, you can see the eaves of the palace in the corner, and in the distance, you can vaguely see the gray tiles of the Bell and Drum Tower. The facilities renovated in 2019 do not have the cramped atmosphere of old hotels at all. The 24-hour hot water comes out steadily and quickly, and even the lights in the alley cannot penetrate when the blackout curtains are pulled up. The sense of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle is something that hotels in downtown areas cannot provide.
The most surprising thing is the Tibetan restaurant in the hotel. Pushing open the door feels like stepping into another small world, with colorful decorations and a distinct snowy atmosphere. Order an authentic Tibetan noodle dish paired with crispy oil tea, and the warm aroma slides down your throat, even dissipating the coolness of the autumn breeze. Later on, I found out that there is a special song and dance performance every Friday night, but unfortunately I didn't make it, so I left a reason to come back next time.
In those two days, I almost wandered through the old alleys around me: in the morning, I walked along Gulou West Street to the entrance of the alley to buy a hot coke ring, and in the evening, I slowly swayed along the lake of Shichahai. There was no need to rush to scenic spots, and when I got tired, I turned back to the courtyard of the hotel and sat on a stone bench under a tree to blow the wind. Most of the guests are slow travelers, without the sense of hurry in the chain hotels. When the cleaning lady passes by, she will stop to talk with you about which lane has the most delicious Roasted chestnuts in sugar-coated heated sand.
On the day I left Beijing, I stood in front of the screen wall with my luggage and looked back. The vermilion gate blocked all the noise outside. It turns out that the most rare thing in Beijing is never a luxuriously decorated guest room, but a small courtyard hidden deep in the old alley that can catch all your slow down time. Next time I come back, I will go back here and soak a cup of hot tea in the shade of the trees in the courtyard until sunset.Show more
