[2024 Horqin Right Front Banner Stay] Travel Guide for Steppe Valley Resort (Updated Sep)
This is the perfect place for budget travelers in Inner Mongolia!!
Grassland Valley$ is like a scene from a Hayao Miyazaki film
Cows and horses yearn for the grasslands [Go to the series]
Grassland Inn Collection is a must. The other places were flooded and couldn't be lived in.
It's a pity that only Grassland Valley can be lived in at the moment.
Grassland Valley Hotel is in Ulan Mod, Xing'an League
Driving from Arxan to Ulan Mod - the scenery along the way is beautiful
The grassland, blue sky, flowing white clouds, and lazy little sheep
There are also many matcha "Swiss rolls"
Like an oil painting~ So healing. The deeper you go into the grasslands, the less signal you have on your phone. Mobile is much better than Unicom and Telecom.
◆Grassland Valley Hotel, Ulan Mod
When I arrived, I found out that this homestay seems to be the same as Bai Jingting's?
The grassland homestay has a housekeeper, you can make an appointment in advance to arrange to wear Mongolian clothes for photos, grassland hiking, sunset sunset free activities, you can also choose to pay to go to the herdsman's house to milk cows, touch lambs, ride horses~ back
There are also two outdoor swimming pools, one by the Ulan River and the other in the backyard of the hotel lobby, with a wild luxury feel.
Lying in the room and looking at the scenery outside the window, or taking a walk by the Ulan River, from 6:00 to 6:30 in the afternoon, you can walk through the restaurant to watch the sunset on the grassland. It's super relaxing~
After nightfall, the stars are brilliant. If you're lucky, you can see the Milky Way.

Ulan Maodu | Bai Jingting's Same Hotel: Is it Worth It?
| Bai Jingting's Same Hotel: Is it Worth It? Departure The journey was smooth, arriving at Ulan Maodu Grassland Valley Hotel
1 Hotel Activity - Hiking the Volcano Trench Ruins
Gather at the hotel lobby at 2:30 PM, with a guide leading the way, we drove ourselves and followed. On the way, we were surrounded by a herd of cows, the calves were super cute! After about 20 minutes, we arrived at the foot of the mountain. Slowly climbing up, we saw those volcanic rocks arranged on the top of the mountain. The guide said they were buried by the Japanese back then. The view from the top was really great, but the wind was huge! We hastily took a few photos and went down early. If it wasn't so windy, we would have taken a hundred photos.
Hotel Activity - Tasting Grassland Milk Tea and Hand-held Meat
The hand-held meat was really delicious. It was my first time tasting lamb with a milky flavor, and the milk tea was also quite good.
1 Hotel Room - Terrace View Twin Room
We originally booked a two-bedroom suite, but due to a change in our friend's schedule, we negotiated with the hotel and they directly helped us change it! The room was still very spacious! The terrace on the first floor allows you to go out and stargaze at night.
The bathroom had separate wet and dry areas, and there was a round bathtub facing the grassland. The shower and bathroom were both very large! Very nice!
However, the bathroom sink did not have a hand towel, the shower room had no hooks, and the hairdryer could use an upgrade. Hotel Dining
Breakfast: The buffet variety was not extensive, but it was quite tasty. Dining time was 7:30-9:30
Lunch: We ordered egg fried rice, small bowl of lamb noodle pieces, and salad at the restaurant
Dinner: We ordered hand-held meat, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, cold dishes, and Buryat dumplings at the restaurant. We finished everything! The milky flavored hand-held meat, dipped in garlic and chive flower sauce, was so delicious!
However, the portions at the restaurant were very large. It is recommended that for two people traveling, there could be smaller portions or set meals to choose from. If the manager hadn't halved our portions, we really wouldn't have known how to order...
Others
We wandered around the hotel, saw the room signs from the variety show 'Now, Go!' and went to the window where Bai Jingting took photos. The terrace was also worth a stroll! The sunset from the rooftop was really beautiful!
The overall feeling of the hotel was good, very spacious and bright everywhere. Although we came in autumn, the temperature was very low, but it was always warm inside the house.

Hidden in the Grassland: A Luxury Hotel Like an Art Gallery
On the vast land of Inner Mongolia, there is a piece of land gently treated by time - the Ulan Maodu Grassland. Here, the sky seems closer to the earth, and the clouds hang low, as if you could reach out and touch them. In this natural painting, there is a place where the soul can rest: the Prairie Valley Hotel.
In this vast expanse, every soul yearning for freedom can find its home. Every breeze, every sunrise and sunset here, awaits those travelers willing to stop and listen to their inner voice.
The design concept fully reflects respect for nature and the longing for a free life. The architectural style is simple yet cozy, with every window like a picture frame, perfectly incorporating the outside scenery into the interior. Here, whether it's the first ray of sunlight in the morning or the starry sky at night, it can become the most beautiful picture in your memory.
Adhering to the tradition of hospitality, every employee treats guests like family. Their smiles and service make you feel the warmth of home. Whether you are here to find inner peace or to experience an extraordinary journey, the Prairie Valley Hotel will give you an unforgettable stay.
The food is also a highlight here. Fresh ingredients, authentic cooking methods, every dish is full of the taste of the grassland. Sitting in the restaurant, tasting delicious food while enjoying the scenery outside the window, this experience is indescribable in words.
When night falls, lying on a comfortable bed, listening to the distant sound of sheep, and watching the twinkling lights, you will understand why this place is called a haven for free souls. Because here, you can truly let go of everything and just enjoy this rare tranquility and freedom.

Roam the Inner Mongolia grasslands and stay at the same hotel as Wei Daxun - the Valley Hotel!
Grassland Valley Hotel.
Location: Manzhuang Manchu Township, Keyouqian Banner!
Nestled in the heart of the Horqin Grassland, this oasis, favored by nature, hides a luxurious grassland homestay--Grassland Suji.
It is not only a secret garden of nature but also one of the filming locations for the TV variety show 'Set Out Right Now', becoming a recommended holiday destination by celebrities like Bai Jingting and Wei Daxun.
The 30 uniquely designed guest rooms, composed of two buildings, each have a unique landscape that complements the surrounding grasslands, hills, and rivers. Guests can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the grassland's seasonal changes from their rooms, explore the history of the migration of farmers and herders through the windows, observe the habits of wildlife, freely interact with local residents, and experience the wonderful adventure of the grassland up close, making every life here appear more three-dimensional and vivid.
The first floor of the homestay features a Mongolian yurt-style restaurant facing the grassland, a coffee area, and a multifunctional conference hall that can accommodate 100 people for various activities. Surrounded by endless greenery, with views of the valley and grassland from the windows, from the dew-covered grass in the early morning to the golden rivers at sunset, every view here is worth savoring.
The second-floor public area of the homestay offers an excellent view and is also a photo hotspot for celebrities like Bai Jingting, Wei Daxun, and Fan Chengcheng. From here, the vast expanse of green grassland is in full view, instantly making one forget the anxieties and troubles of the world.
