The largest racecourse in Asia and the second largest in the world! Experience horse riding at Shandan Military Horse Farm founded by Huo Qubing

Who hasn’t had a martial arts dream of riding a galloping horse? ❤Reason for recommendation: Shandan Military Horse Farm is the largest military horse farm in Asia and the second largest military horse farm in the world. It has a long history. It was founded as early as 121 BC by Huo Qubing, a hussar general of the Western Han Dynasty. Located in the middle of China's Hexi Corridor, near the northern foot of Lenglong Mountain in the Qilian Mountains, Damaying Grassland covers an area of ​​3.2954 million acres‼ ️ The racecourse is divided into one, two and three races. There are many accommodation options in the first racecourse and the scenery is also very good. You can see the Qilian Snow Mountain in the distance, and there is also a Luanniao Lake at the foot of the mountain, with mountains and water. 🗓Itinerary: The best season to visit is from mid-to-late July to early August. At this time, you can see large rapeseed flowers and various small flowers blooming on the grassland. It is very beautiful. We went in autumn, and the grassland was already a little yellow. , so it is recommended to go in summer, you can escape the heat and enjoy the best grassland scenery~ 🌟Highlights: Every morning around six o'clock, I see "thousands of horses galloping"‼ ️Groups of horses galloping on the vast grassland, the dust kicked up by the horse hooves, and the herdsmen waving their whips, it is very majestic👍 We also experienced horse riding ourselves. There were several routes. We chose the three-hour one, but ended up riding for five hours, from beginner to proficient to hopeless. But I have to say that the scenery along the way was really good. 🛏Room facilities: Don’t be too picky about accommodation. The Wrangler Hotel in Yiyi is the best local choice. The price is about 200 yuan, and the facilities are relatively complete. 📝Note tips: It’s best to bring clothes and shoes suitable for the outdoors, as you’ll be scratching trees and dirt when riding. The accommodation is relatively simple, so you have to bring your own small items such as a hair dryer.
