The ultimate family trip to Arxan! Stay at Grassland Suji, 5 days full of romance

Taking the kids to Arxan, staying at the right hotel + choosing the right itinerary, it’s truly so much fun‼️ 📍Arxan is really an underrated family travel paradise! More off-the-beaten-path than Hulunbuir, quieter than Xilingol, the grasslands from June to August are unbelievably beautiful, with blue skies and white clouds☁️, rivers winding around green hills, lush forests, and every snapshot is a stunning family picture🖼️. Xiao Ye said, “This is a place from a fairy tale”~ This time we spent 5⃣️ days exploring the highlights of Arxan with Xiao Ye, and stayed at the wild luxury scenic hotel [Grassland Suji]. Chasing scenery by day, watching the Milky Way by night, fully immersing in the romance of the grasslands, the family time was super healing~ 🏨 High-end wild luxury hotel guide: 📍Grassland Suji is absolutely amazing! Located by the river valley of the Ulan Maodu Hangai Grassland, it’s one of the best spots to watch sunsets🌇 and the Milky Way🌌. There are five fantastic accommodations inside: Grassland River Valley Hotel, natrail・Jidi, Da Le Zhi Ye, Nanan Homestay, and Fei Niao Ji Homestay. We chose Grassland River Valley Hotel, which was featured on the variety show "Set Off Now"! Enjoy a 270° unobstructed view of the river valley, the Ulan River glows golden at sunset, and at night you can look up to see the starry Milky Way🌌—super romantic for stargazing with kids~ 🚗 5-day family itinerary: D1: Arrive at Hailar airport → free time (rest first, no rush) D2: Hailar → private ranch (feed lambs, milk cows) → Arxan National Gate (feel the grandeur) → Arxan Train Station (check out the mini station🚉) D3: Full day deep tour of Arxan National Forest Park (leisurely stroll, show kids volcanic landforms) D4: Arxan → Bailang Peak (forest sea and clouds) → Feed deer at Dear Inn (super interactive and lovely) → Horse riding + mountain coffee (mom relaxes) → Grassland Suji (stay in the scenic spot) D5: Free time at Suji → transfer to Ulanhot airport (easy finish) 🔥 Must-try wild family experiences: ✅ Feed reindeer at Dear Inn and take photos, the deer are very gentle, Xiao Ye was so happy feeding them~ ✅ Feed lambs and milk cows at the private ranch, let kids experience herder life hands-on, very meaningful~ ✅ Horse riding with professional instructors, safe and fun, the kids kept saying “So cool” after riding~ ✅ Drink mountain coffee and enjoy slow time on the grassland, moms can take a break too~ ✅ Wild luxury dinner at the river valley hotel, dining by the grassland, the sense of ceremony is maxed out~ 🏞️ Beautiful spots to check in with kids: ✨Arxan Heavenly Lake: a heart-shaped lake formed by volcanoes❤️, with morning sea of clouds and mist, a popular photo spot, pictures come out amazing~ ✨Tuofengling Heavenly Lake: like ancient teardrops💧fallen on the Greater Khingan Range, uniquely scenic, very educational for kids~ ✨Rhododendron Lake: cool in summer, rhododendrons🌸 with lake views, perfect for hiking with kids~ ✨Shitang Forest: Asia’s largest volcanic lava landform, a wonder of the Greater Khingan Range, kids get totally fascinated~ ✨Arxan Bailang Peak: forest sea and clouds are enchanting, air is super fresh, great for kids to breathe fresh air~ ✨Arxan National Gate: majestic and grand, let kids feel the national charm~ Train Station: China’s smallest train station, looks like a building block model, kids love it~
