Enter from there, and you can reach the slope seen in the pictures (when I went, the grass was not green yet, but now it is green and looks very nice). Alternatively, you can download the 'Two Steps' app, where experts have uploaded track maps for reference. For meals, we met an uncle from the Xundian Cultural and Tourism Bureau who invited us. Many dishes were only 150 yuan, and the shop owner gave us naan and cold mixed vermicelli. PS: The uncle from the Cultural and Tourism Bureau not only gave us roasted lamb but also sang for us!! I feel so honored, it really maxed out my goodwill!! After hiking, you can also take pictures of the yurts, which are very photogenic (p8). Driving past the cement road, there is a sheep breeding base, so you can't go in, but it looks very nice from the outside. An endless grassland, if you can't go to Xinjiang, this place is also very good!
