A hidden gem guesthouse at the foot of the Ulanqab volcano

Ulanqab❗️❗️ I’ve found the life I’ve been dreaming of🏡 Family, who understands! I accidentally discovered a treasure guesthouse hidden at the foot of the Ulanqab volcano🌋, and this trip was an absolute legend!🚀​ The guesthouse is located near the Ulanhada Volcano Geological Park, just a stone’s throw away, and nearby are attractions like the Huitengxile Grassland👒. You can check in multiple beautiful spots in one trip. It’s a 5-hour drive from Beijing, and after taking the high-speed train to Ulanqab Station, taxis or carpooling are very convenient, so no worries about getting around~ The guesthouse’s huge courtyard is literally my dream vacation paradise! Stepping into the courtyard, the open space🍃 instantly lifts your mood, with none of the cramped feeling of the city. 🌳 Here, you can fully enjoy nature’s gifts, swing in the courtyard and soak up the sun☀️, feel the gentle breeze on your face, or have a fun interaction with the little sheep🐑. They are super gentle and cute, perfect for photos, easily capturing heartwarming shots📷. Kids can run and play freely here, releasing their innocence~ The guesthouse rooms feature a simple and natural decor style🛏️, with a reasonable layout and spacious space, no sense of crowding at all. The wooden elements and warm-toned lighting✨ complement each other, creating a cozy home atmosphere. The beds are soft and comfortable🛋️, paired with high-quality bedding for a good night’s sleep. Waking up gently to the morning sunlight feels absolutely wonderful~ Here, you can not only stay comfortably but also embark on a culinary journey! The guesthouse’s local specialty restaurant🥰 serves dishes that make your taste buds cheer. The must-try is the hand-held meat🍖, tender and juicy with a great chew, paired with a special sauce, every bite is the ultimate prairie flavor experience. There’s also lamb and sand scallion shaomai, and sweet milk tea🥛, each bite full of prairie charm, making me feast to my heart’s content~ As night falls, the bonfire party officially begins! The blazing bonfire🔥 instantly ignites the enthusiasm on site. Everyone holds hands around the fire, joyfully💃 dancing and singing, fully releasing their inner happiness. Kids laugh and play nearby, while adults chat and share travel stories🌸. Strangers quickly become close because of this bonfire party, creating a very harmonious atmosphere. Colorful fireworks bloom in the night sky🎆, dazzling like a dream. Everyone takes out their phones to capture the moment🥳, recording this unforgettable instant. Cheers and gasps rise one after another, adding a brilliant splash of color to this beautiful night~

Wulanhada Volcano Geopark

#wulanhada Wulanhada volcano geopark. Wow! This place really amazes me with these extinct volcanoes in the middle of the grasslands. One would probably expect horses and many other animals in this area. If you are an outdoor person, this is a wonderful place to be close to nature and animals. The peaks of the volcanos are easy to hike and not challenging But always safety first and watch your footing. Highly recommend to visit a day or two at this park.

#adventuremoments 🥾 Hiking Hints – Wulanhada Volcano Park Day 1 – Main Volcano Exploration • Climb Wulanhada Volcano (No. 3) – the largest crater, with a clear circular rim and wide views. The hike is short (30–40 minutes) but steep in places. • Walk around the crater rim – safe but windy, so watch your footing. Great for photos of the lava landscape. • Explore lava fields – black lava rocks and unique formations nearby make it feel otherworldly. Day 2 (optional) – Smaller Volcanic Cones • Visit Volcano No. 1 and No. 2 for quieter hikes and fewer people. • Try sunrise or sunset for dramatic colors over the grasslands. 🌍 Travel Tips • Getting there: The park is about 60 km from Ulanqab city. No public transport, so hire a driver, rent a car, or join a tour. • Gear: Wear sturdy shoes (lava rocks are sharp). Bring water and snacks — no shops inside. • Best time: Summer and autumn for clear skies; spring can be windy and dusty. • Time needed: Half-day for the main crater, full day to explore all cones. • Stay: Base yourself in Ulanqab city; hotels are limited near the park.
