Self-driving tour in Inner Mongolia encountered a sea of sunflowers in Ulanqab

Traveling in Inner Mongolia, starting from Hohhot, it takes about an hour and a half to reach a sunflower field located outside the Hongshiya National Ecological Park in Zhuozi County, Ulanqab City, deep in the Daqing Mountains. Unlike the 'sea of sunflowers' I saw last month in Altay, Xinjiang, and just last week in Kazakhstan, the vast and flat sunflower fields here look like they were leveled with a spirit level during the early growth stage. The endless sea of flowers is so beautiful that it is irresistible to stop and admire them. Friends who are traveling or driving here recently should not miss it~ Of course, the Hongshiya Scenic Area, which charges 60 yuan per person and does not charge vehicle fees, is also worth a visit in my opinion. Especially the Hongshiya Temple, which looks stunning from a distance, with its architecture set against the blue sky, white clouds, and green grass, making it unforgettable. Note: The entire scenic area and the route to Hongshiya are very clean. There is no 'dirty, messy, and poor' situation like in some volcanic scenic areas. Even the not-so-wide lanes are orderly and courteous, with no trash cans or visible administrators, yet no one litters. Truly deserving of a thumbs up. I share these travel memories and encounters with everyone. If anyone feels the same or has other encounters, feel free to leave a comment in the comment section. Tips: There are not many public restrooms along the way, so everyone should prepare in advance according to their own situation. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so it is recommended to bring jackets and long pants. Families traveling with children can drive to the top of the mountain, where the scenery is excellent and the cost of horse riding and taking photos is not high.
