Your adventure includes round-trip transportation via high-speed train, a local transfer to the ranch, photo and video services, dinner after the ride, insurance, and bottled water. It’s one of the finest countryside getaways in Beijing—close to the urban skyline, yet it feels like an entirely different realm.

I’m Lynn. I grew up in Sichuan, a place known for its strong character and deep connection to land and tradition. From an early age, I was drawn to places where life feels real, grounded, and close to nature. In 2019, I moved to Beijing and started exploring beyond the city skyline. What surprised me most wasn’t just the history or the food — it was the wilderness hiding in plain sight. Within a short drive from one of the world’s biggest cities, I found mountains, open land, and trails that felt a world away. That’s where I discovered horseback riding in Beijing’s countryside — and it changed everything. The feeling of leaving the noise behind, riding through valleys and ridgelines, and seeing landscapes the way people once did… it’s a kind of freedom you can’t find in cities.
