Step into the Secret Realm of Mugwort and Unlock a New Wellness Living Experience at Beijing's New Gateway
As a Ctrip hotel and travel blogger, I recently explored a hidden paradise near Beijing Daxing International Airport—Sifangting Qinian Lodge (Daxing Airport Branch). Nestled in Pingdi Village, Lixian Town, known as the "Hometown of Mugwort," this retreat blends the ancient wisdom of mugwort wellness with modern smart living, creating a "healing sanctuary" by the new gateway!
