|Check in to a grassland homestay near Beijing, nicknamed "Little Altay". Recommendation Index Advantages: Free entry to the grassland, free parking, dog-friendly, fewer tourists, beautiful scenery, starry sky. Disadvantages: Long journey, about 3-4 hours by car from Beijing! Entering the Ulanchabu Xinghe Grassland, the mountains are undulating and the water and grass are abundant. This is the closest natural pasture to Beijing. As the first "Hundred Beautiful Villages" rural revitalization demonstration project in Inner Mongolia, Wushengqi Di·Anzhiruosu is located here. By the Laolihai Lake, the vast wilderness and the lake's scenery are intertwined, adding a touch of poetry to the building on the wetland. My own feeling is that the wind on the grassland blows away all the bad vibes~ Worries fly away, and my heart opens up~ My parents also like it very much, they think it's super relaxing~ The homestay blends in with the local scenery. Sitting by the large windows that almost reach the floor, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Laolihai. To the east is a large pasture with cattle and sheep, and to the west is an endless field of corn and sesame. Life is so good! In addition to the beautiful scenery, the meals provided by the homestay are also good. There are double-person packages for over 200 and 300 yuan, which are quite large. I think it's enough for 3 people. For a simpler option, order a bowl of buckwheat fish, which costs around 30 yuan and is enough for 2 people. Ask the homestay staff, even if you don't stay there, you can still eat here. The atmosphere is great and the photos are very good. The biggest advantage here is of course the wind blowing through the grass and seeing cattle and sheep (and horses). You can quietly observe them all day long. Also, if the weather is good at night, you can take photos of the starry sky. This was taken directly with my phone, without a tripod, so the ISO is pushed high and the shutter speed is fast, so the effect is average. I don't know what the building in Figure 18 is, but it's still under construction. It's about 3-4 stories high, with steps on the outside so you can climb up for a view. I think if you want to take better photos at night, you can go there. There is also a church here that is not yet built. In short, I think this place is very suitable for a Dragon Boat Festival holiday trip. I went last weekend, and the grass will be even denser and the scenery will be even more beautiful. If you don't drive, you can take the high-speed train to Xinghe Station and then take a taxi to get there. There are also places like Lake Chaer to visit nearby.
