Experiential leisure activities such as simulated hunting and horseback riding are becoming increasingly popular.

 

       To enhance the quality of relaxation, many travelers are also seeking a balance between entertainment and high-quality leisure. Visiting unique places to enjoy a distinctive release experience and spending a somewhat “refined” weekend seems to be the choice of more and more people.

　　Galloping on horseback

　　As one of the most refined leisure sports recognized worldwide, horseback riding is undoubtedly an excellent choice for those who wish to elevate their leisure lifestyle. Whether you head to a professional equestrian venue or the more authentic and vast grasslands, the moment you gallop will offer you an ultimate experience of surpassing yourself.

　　If you want to make horseback riding part of your refinement journey, you might want to start by practicing at a professional equestrian club. As the foremost aristocratic sport, equestrianism has gradually become one of the “fashions” pursued by Beijingers. Tianxing Tiaoliang, Yangfeng Equestrian Club, Green Equestrian Training Center, and Kangxi Grassland Club are all well-established professional venues. According to the management, here you can not only learn various levels of horseback riding knowledge and skills but also feed and care for horses, watch equestrian performances, and immerse yourself in the noble culture of equestrianism through various “horse-related” elements.

　　“Where the wind blows low and the grass bends, sheep and cattle come into view” is also an experience many hope to gain while horseback riding. For office workers tired of the concrete jungle and urban noise, witnessing the raw essence of horse racing on the vast grasslands, embarking on the most exhilarating horseback journey, or even learning from local equestrian experts as a beginner, are all rare and precious opportunities. The Western Beijing Grasslands and Bashang Grasslands are currently in their best viewing seasons, with neat new greens and warm greetings from traditional Mongolian yurts. This short holiday, why not get up close and personal with the grasslands and horses?

　　In recent years, experiential leisure in the suburbs of Beijing has become increasingly popular. Activities like fruit picking and fishing have given city visitors from afar a taste of the countryside life they crave. As urban office workers become more and more “dependent” on such “rural escapes,” expectations for these experiences have also grown — for example, picking up a firearm and bagging some “prey.”

　　It is reported that hunting activities in the suburbs of Beijing are mainly simulated. Hunting grounds provide visitors with enclosed shooting areas and special target setups. The management explained that if you prefer not to harm any living creatures, you can also opt for clay pigeon shooting or other forms of target practice.

　　Tianlong Hunting Villa is known as the “Little Tibet” of Fangshan District. In the antique-style hunting area, you can freely imagine the grand scenes of feudal nobles galloping through the mountains and hunting on horseback in ancient times. According to the management, traditional leisure sports such as archery and shooting not only help build physical fitness but also enhance concentration, making them great ways for office workers to relieve stress and achieve a refined lifestyle.

　　Additionally, resort villages in the suburbs of Beijing, such as Wuling Villa, also offer recreational activities like simulated hunting. You can fully enjoy the comfort of a spa while surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, all while savoring the elegance of hunting and shooting.
