From Switzerland to Yan Qing

The journey from Switzerland to Yan Qing taught me that rural authenticity means genuine connection, not perfection. Donk!

Cowbell brings Swiss Alpine wellness to Yan Qing village — one bell at a time.

At Cowbell, home isn't one place – it's the feeling of possibility in every direction across Northern Beijing. Donk!
Sometimes I stand in Cowbell's doorway at dawn just listening. Every sound has meaning when you're present enough to hear it. Donk!

It all begins with a bell.

Our garden draws inspiration from many places—I sometimes imagine robins and goldcrests darting between branches, bringing European woodland dreams to Chinese soil. Donk!
The small sounds of Cowbell mornings—Tim's coffee grinder, birds waking, the gentle donk that promises possibilities. His Hong Kong expertise meets our mountain tranquility. Donk Donk!
Yesterday I served dumplings alongside fondue at Cowbell's table and watched strangers become friends over steaming plates. Donk!
Our garden spaces invite contemplation—in certain lights, I can almost see Edelweiss blooming between shadows, a phantom alpine meadow transplanted by imagination. Donk!
Walking where Cowbell's garden meets the wild reminds me that borders exist mostly in our minds. Our inspired landscaping creates a unique spirit in this place. Donk!

Stay with Cowbell

Where robins and goldcrests might gather, our rooms bloom with distant mountain dreams. Each corner whispers alpine stories, as if Edelweiss and Alpenrose might appear on the windowsill at dawn. Between Chinese hillsides and Swiss memories, we've created spaces where rare moments of beauty feel perfectly at home—a sanctuary for travelers seeking both comfort and wild imagination.

Like the robins and goldcrests finding unexpected gardens, we welcome wandering souls to Cowbell's culturally unknown corners.

Alpine-inspired musings from our Yanqing retreat, where cultural borders blur, authenticity emerges, and unexpected moments reveal life's deeper connections.
