To the north of Beijing at the foot of a mountain in the Spirit Pavilion Valley the Red Capital Ranch is a rustic & rambling collection of 10 stone cottages a traditional teahouse & a Tibetan spa. The area was once the hunting grounds of Qing emperors & the hunting-lodge interiors of the Ranch evoke Manchurian history with intriguing antiques & artefacts from China & Tibet in every room. Outside the proud citadels of the Great Wall stretch out into the mountains.
