A must-visit in your lifetime: Bashang Grassland.
A must-visit in your lifetime: Bashang Grassland
Although it was the rainy season and the weather on the grassland was changeable, it did not stop us from going to the grassland. Reality did not disappoint me. This trip to Bashang Grassland was worth it.
The grassland is covered with green grass, flocks of cattle and sheep, leisurely grazing horses, winding streams, and rolling mountains. Every scene is beautiful and refreshing.
Now is actually the best time to go. In July and August, the sky is blue and the grass is green. The air is fresh. It is especially suitable for parent-child travel. It is so hot in summer. It is the best choice to come to the grassland to escape the heat and cool down.
When you come to Bashang Grassland, you must taste the mutton. It not only has no mutton smell but also has a unique grassy fragrance. It is recommended to all friends who like to eat meat. In addition, if you are driving by yourself, you can camp on the grassland. At night, you can look up at the sky. The feeling of the stars shining is really beautiful. Finally, it is also very pet-friendly here. If it is a small dog, you can bring it. Pets like Border Collie and Doberman, running on the grass, are also very interesting.
However, there are still some precautions to explain.

Experience the life of a herdsman at the Colorful Forest Ranch in Fairy Valley
The grassland wakes up early. At six o'clock, I woke up at the Colorful Forest Resort Hotel, greeted by the morning dew, bathed in the sunshine of the ranch, breathing the fresh air, and feeling the ten-degree cold wind. I came to the Colorful Forest Ranch in Fairy Valley to experience the life of a herdsman.
The sunlight shines through the forest onto the ground, with crystal-clear dew on the leaves of all plants. The cattle leisurely stroll through the forest. The forest ranch is vast, with areas for yaks and yellow cattle. A Mongolian woman squats on the grass with a milk bucket, milking the cows after the calves have had their fill, presenting a classic and authentic scene of maternal love in the forest ranch. It's truly beautiful! This moment also reminds me of my childhood when my father retired from the army and started a Dutch dairy farm back home, with over two hundred cows. We drank fresh milk every day. While vacationing at the Colorful Forest in Fairy Valley, you can also enjoy fresh milk from the forest ranch daily, including camel milk, yak milk, milk tablets, milk strips, and milk balls.
Therefore, when you come to Chengde for a summer retreat, you must drive to the Colorful Forest in Fairy Valley and stay for a few days. Whether with family, a partner, friends, or colleagues, you will be captivated by the picturesque scenery and unique vacation experience. 🐮🥛

I found the grassland hidden in my dreams
Far from the hustle and bustle of the city and the scorching heat of summer, for the people of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei, the best way to escape the summer heat is, of course, to go to the grasslands. The first grassland in northern Beijing, located in Fengning County, Chengde City, is definitely a summer resort not to be missed.
The summer here is cool and pleasant, with the highest temperature only reaching 24 degrees. The endless grasslands, lush green grass, clear and pure lakes, and the soothing blue sky form a unique landscape that can only be truly appreciated by experiencing it in person.
Moreover, here you can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery but also participate in many recreational activities such as horseback riding, archery, bumper cars on the grassland, grassland drifting, and small animal performances. Both adults and children can find their favorite entertainment projects.
This summer, you must visit the grasslands to truly appreciate the vastness of nature and its healing charm.

Under the dark clouds, the Great Khan's palace seems to dream back to the era of a mighty conqueror
Dark clouds press down on the city, about to crush it
Today's Great Khan's palace
Amidst the howling wind and dark clouds
Seems to return to the era of that mighty conqueror
In front of the tent, the golden armors and iron horses are ready for battle
Inside the golden tent, urgent matters of war seem to be under discussion
Everything is so solemn
Only the howling wind brings the sounds of ancient times
It's as if we've discovered the secret to traveling through time
Thus, in the summer chill, we shiver and are reluctant to leave
Attempting to look back at the world under the horseback
📸Must-visit
✅Central Axis
Walk along the central axis to enter Genghis Khan's military tent, golden tent, sleeping tent, Obo, and the altar for heaven worship.
✅Golden Armors and Iron Horses
The golden armors and iron horses on both sides of the central axis, their aura shakes the mountains and rivers.
✅Altar for Heaven Worship Top
Climb to the top of the altar for heaven worship, overlooking the entire Great Khan's palace.

Departing from the north of Beijing, it's a 4h drive straight to the vast grasslands~
If you want to take photos, just rent a set of Mongolian attire, and you'll take incredibly stunning shots!!
But even if you just want to visit for fun, you won't be disappointed.
Grassland golf, horse riding, archery, rafting, grass sliding🌿, bumper cars...
It will definitely make you have a great time!
Endless grasslands, the spirited Golden Lotus Lake, both are perfect places to recharge.
The grasslands on the plateau will fulfill every self-driving enthusiast's desire to roam freely across the boundless grasslands~

I never expected grassland drifting to be so much fun, I really enjoyed it this time!
Beijing's best weekend getaway has to be the No.1 Grassland to the north of the city, the nearest grassland to Beijing, and the top choice for locals to escape the heat and enjoy the cool. The grassland is vast, with greenery as far as the eye can see, fresh air, and a pleasantly cool climate.
How to have fun on the grassland with kids during the summer vacation? Look here!
🌟This time at the No.1 Grassland to the north of Beijing, I was thoroughly chilled, with temperatures so low that it made me question life. Just one word, cold! There's a big temperature difference between day and night on the grassland, and if it rains, a thin down jacket is essential! However, by noon, when the sun shines, it's not hot, but the UV rays are strong, so sun protection is a must!
Grassland fun
✅Must-try: Grassland drifting is highly recommended
There are many activities suitable for both adults and children, with grassland drifting being the top recommendation. Drifting for an hour is very refreshing, with a winding route flanked by lush grasslands, and the experience of drifting through the grasslands is just too much fun.
✅Grassland golf: Swing your club with style, and watch the ball you hit draw a beautiful curve in the air, which is very pleasing. Friends who don't know how to play can pose and take photos!
Mountain biking: Show off your biking skills on the grassland, the feeling of drifting is super cool!
✅Grass sliding: Climb up the hillside for a panoramic view of the vast grassland, with herds of cattle and sheep, and the newly opened wild plum branches on the hillside are too beautiful. Various wildflowers on the grassland are blooming one after another, and they all look great in photos. Grass sliding is very fast and thrilling!
✅Horse riding: There's someone to lead the horse, so there's no need to be afraid.
✅Archery: Requires good arm strength, pull the bow fully, aim, and the probability of hitting the target is still good!
✅Cannon: This one is loud, seems powerful, and I actually hit the target!
🌟The grassland train is about to open, and I guess you can ride it through the grassland if you go there next month.
👍Jinlian Lake: The lake is rippling with blue waves, the water is crystal clear, and the rapeseed flowers by the lake are blooming, making it a great spot for photos.
👍Grassland wooden walkway: Very suitable for beautiful ladies to take photos and check in.
📝tips: You can rent a Mongolian robe, which is perfect for taking photos! The playtime is about half a day.
For self-driving, navigate to Fengning No.1 Grassland to the north of Beijing.

Bashang Grassland | The wind blows the grass low and reveals the cattle and sheep
Escaping the 40-degree weather in Beijing over the weekend, I went to the grassland to cool off and almost froze to death on Bashang 😂
📸 Left Beijing on Saturday and headed straight for 'Datang Town,' about a 4-hour drive. As we approached our destination, we passed the Hundred-Mile Sky Road and entered the scenic area for a tour. The ticket was 120 yuan. We followed the Sky Road, stopping here and there, and in over an hour, we covered half of the scenic area 👏 The scenery was beautiful, and it was really cold 😞 Sisters who went there over the weekend must wear warm clothes, and if it rains 🌧️ definitely bring a light down jacket, you won't regret it 😞
🌈 The weather on the grassland is unpredictable, with clouds and rain coming and going, and when the clouds are blown away, a big rainbow appears 🌈 Super beautiful 🤩 We took a detour out of exit 2 halfway because it was getting late to go further in, so we headed straight for the hotel 😋
📸 The next day we went to the Great Khan's Palace, which is divided into two areas. One is the historical and cultural area that tells the story of Genghis Khan, with a ticket price of 30 yuan. Inside, there's a sense of being there with very realistic wax figures recreating historical scenes, quite impressive, and you can also dress up in ethnic costumes for photos, which turn out great 🎉
📸 The other area is purely for fun, with a ticket price of 50 yuan. There are over a dozen activities, including shooting, golf, bumper cars, little spaceships, grass sliding, gun firing, etc. Each activity costs between 30 to 50 yuan individually, but a package ticket is 190 yuan. The package ticket also includes the two tickets mentioned before, so it's a good deal 👍 There are also separately charged activities like horse riding, rafting, grassland motorcycling, etc.
🙌 Every summer, I make a trip to the vast grasslands! Boundless and refreshing! 🌾 Just had time to sort out the photos these two days, the scenery is too beautiful, I like every shot 💕 And the photos don't even do justice to a tenth of the beauty seen with the naked eye 🙌 So the meaning of taking photos is that, no matter how long after, when you see the photos again, what you see is not just the freeze-frame of that moment, but the scene and mood of the time 🌟🌟

Hebei•Chengde | Bashang Grassland Money-Saving and Pitfall-Avoiding Guide
You must visit Bashang Grassland this summer😉, here comes the detailed guide for saving money and avoiding pitfalls! Just came back from a weekend trip to Bashang Grassland, the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful, and I didn't want to leave after two days of fun🤩. Make sure to save this practical guide!
Practical tips to avoid pitfalls:
1. Bashang Grassland covers a vast area, highly recommend self-driving or carpooling🚗, public transportation is not very convenient, and if it's not an off-road vehicle, try not to challenge the wild hills;
2. Choose a sunny day to go, you can enjoy the blue sky, white clouds, and starry sky✨, August is the perfect time to visit the grassland, July might be a bit cold;
3. It is suggested to stay in Fengning Datang Town, where dining, shopping, and access to scenic spots are more convenient. Book hotels in advance during the peak season in August;
4. For food, the Charcoal Camp and Xicun No.1 are worth recommending. The roasted whole lamb is quite large, if there are fewer people, you can order roasted lamb leg or lamb chops, which taste great and have no mutton smell. The Charcoal Camp has decor and lighting suitable for taking photos during dinner📷, Xicun No.1 has a homestay, which is nice and within walking distance to the grassland, and you can also watch the sunset. For breakfast, you can go to Wangtong Roujiamo, where you might need to queue due to the crowd but the serving speed is okay, the neighboring sheep soup shop has fewer people but the taste is just...
5. You must go horse riding! The horses here are very strong, riding by yourself costs 80 yuan/hour, with a guide it's 100 yuan/hour (you can bargain a bit if there are many people), but usually, it doesn't reach 1 hour;
6. Horse farms include: Aima Farm, where you can ride around the flat land of the farm; Junwei Horse Farm, also a flat ride with a photographer taking pictures (one or two), photos cost 25 yuan each, we bought two and got one free; there's another one next to Licheng Lake Resort, where you can lead the horse up the hill, the guide and horses will work harder, and the riding time is longer, the guides will help take photos;
7. Must visit Matown Aima Farm for its dreamy fairy-tale scenery (free grassland view);
8. Fengning Gushi Ranch is worth a visit, as well as the reservoir Junma Camp, where you can see rolling hills and many cattle and sheep grazing (free scenery). The price for a nearby Mongolian yurt was over 1300 yuan;
9. Fengning Mangniu Gou Village is beautiful and close to Yunzhong Grassland (free scenery);
10. Yunzhong Grassland is great, with both toll and free sections (adult ticket 68 yuan). We went to the free section, you can navigate to Licheng Lake Resort, there are Mongolian costumes for rent at 20 yuan, and we also saw wild birch forests and fighting groundhogs;
11. Fengning Junwei Horse Farm, with many horses and pleasant scenery;
12. Guyuan Lightning Lake is nice (adult ticket 30 yuan), after asking locals we went to the free lakeside for a stroll, on the way back to Datang Town we saw a large field of sunflowers;
13. In the evening, you can go to Matown Food Street, where there are free song and dance performances, and fireworks last until 23:00;
14. Many homestays have bonfire parties, ask before checking in;
15. Choose hotels that can be canceled at any time or before check-in, to avoid being unable to cancel if you change your mind;
16. Pair the grassland with pastoral or French style, wear long dresses with sun protection shirts in August, and bring a coat and long pants (pants are for horse riding), the grassland just has a large temperature difference, it's a bit cool in the morning and evening but very hot and sunny at noon;
17. Do good sun protection, if it's windy, wearing sunglasses and a hat will be more convenient;
18. During the peak season, you can consider not going to the Yunzhong Grassland toll area, as the experience may not be very good with too many people;
19. Grass sliding is actually similar to sliding down a slide, you can skip it.
Recommended route:
Day 1: Aima Farm→Junwei Horse Farm→Lightning Lake→Matown Tourist Resort😎.
Day 2: Gushi Ranch Reservoir Junma Camp→Mangniu Gou→Yunzhong Grassland (Gushi and Mangniu Gou are a bit far apart)😎.

Fengning Bashang: A Poem of Nature, A Pure Land of the Soul
Fengning Bashang, poetic and picturesque, is a beautiful painting bestowed by nature to mankind. Here, every inch of land is full of the breath of life, and every gust of wind seems to carry the call from afar.
In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrates the mist and spills on the grassland, the entire Bashang seems to be enveloped by a golden halo. Dewdrops sparkle under the sunlight, like countless brilliant diamonds embedded in the green carpet. At this time, walking on the grassland, you can feel the gentleness and grace of nature.
In the afternoon, the sunlight is even more brilliant, and the colors on the grassland become richer. Those unknown wildflowers, under the sunlight, are even more charming and emit a charming fragrance. Occasionally butterflies fly by, they dance in the flowers, adding a bit of agility and vitality to this grassland.
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the entire Bashang golden. At this time, the herdsmen begin to drive the sheep home, their figures appear particularly long under the setting sun. The yurts in the distance rise with curling cooking smoke, that is the direction of home, and also a warm harbor.
When night falls, Bashang becomes even more quiet and mysterious. The moonlight spills on the grassland like water, draping this land with a silver skirt. At this time, lying on the grass looking up at the starry sky, you will find that the universe is so vast and beautiful. Those twinkling stars seem to be elves in the night sky, they blink at you, telling you ancient and mysterious stories.
In Fengning Bashang, you can not only appreciate the beautiful natural scenery, but also feel the magic and power of nature. This is a place where people can forget their troubles and purify their souls, and also a place where people can find themselves and regain their innocence.

Fengning Bashang Grassland, crossing the uninhabited area in golden October, punching in Fengning Bashang Grassland for three days and two nights
Arrive at the hotel at noon, have a meal. Drive to the Colorful Forest Park. Take the forest train to the top of the mountain, walk back on the glass plank road and wooden plank road. Along the way, you can enjoy beautiful birch forests, pine forests, thick plums and other plants, it can be said that every step is a scene.
Day two: Highly recommend going to the uninhabited area for crossing!!!
Experience leaping over the mountain top, passing through the pile of rocks, rushing through the rapids! If you drive by yourself, you need to drive an off-road vehicle, ordinary cars are absolutely not possible. If not, you can also rent a car directly on site. If you go out, it is recommended to set off in teams of multiple cars (we are a team of 7 cars from the same hotel, in fact, everyone does not know each other),
One is that there are many people and it is lively, and the second is that there are many situations on the road, and there is a mutual response. Along the way, the autumn is high and refreshing, the blue sky and white clouds, herds of cattle and sheep, all in sight! (You must wear more clothes, Beijing is more than 20 degrees, the grassland is already 1°C, some places are already below zero, plus we caught up with the 5-6 level wind, the prepared thick sweater,
Autumn trousers are completely ineffective, the cold wind in half a minute, absolutely chilling. So you must bring a down jacket, and it must be the kind with a hat! The four wheels were blown by the strong wind and their faces and ears were all red. In the end, they had to take a piece of clothing and button it on their heads, only revealing two eyes from the collar
