Huairou hotels

The buildings were make from historic building materials trashed during rebuilding Beijing. So they are interesting and beautiful, following the Manchu tradition. The meals were fresh and delicious Tibetan food. The purpose of the place is partly to give young Tibetans work experience in the hospitality industry that they can take back to Tibet. These young people could not have been sweeter or more accommodating. Our trip up the Great Wall was truly an experience you won't get at the tourist sites. We came away with a great appreciation of the Chinese determination and ability to build. It was very hot while we were there in August. I would love to go back in the spring.
