[2025 Hexigten Banner Attraction] Travel Guide for Wucai Mountain (Updated Feb)

The autumn wind blows, the leaves turn yellow, and the autumn colors in the north always make people fascinated. Ulan Buyi’s annual autumn viewing festival is coming! Here is the most beautiful autumn in China. When the heat of summer gradually fades away, the picture of autumn quietly unfolds. Let's go to this travel destination with the most beautiful autumn in China and experience the magic and beauty of nature. From the end of September to the beginning of October, the golden autumn scenery of Ulan Butong is about to show its charming autumn colors, and the best viewing period only blooms for half a month. D1. Saihanba (free of charge for road construction in 2024) Starting from Beijing, we went all the way north via the Jingmo Line and traveled nearly 300 kilometers through the plains and valleys in the Yanshan Mountains before arriving at Saihanba. Next to the north side of Saihanba is the Ulan Butong Grassland, and you will step into Inner Mongolia as soon as you lift your foot. Here, the layers of birch forest are dyed golden, and when you walk on the forest path, the fallen leaves rustle under your feet. D2. Yudaokou (ticket 80/person, valid within three days) Yudaokou is close to Saihanba, and Sun Lake looks more peaceful and charming under the golden sunshine. The autumn colors of the Grand Canyon are like a huge color spectrum, unfolding one after another, and the mountains and forests are dressed in colorful costumes. Not to be missed is Guishan, where groups of cattle and sheep enjoy the sunshine wantonly on the grassland, and the mountains, rivers, grasslands and forests are soaked in it. Isn’t this the Altay that belongs to the northerners? D3. Ulan Butong Beigou (ticket 120/person, valid within three days) Going all the way north and meeting Ulan Butong in autumn, you will encounter an extremely gorgeous autumn - the mountains are colorful, the forests are dyed, and it is as picturesque as a poem. Beigou does not refer to a specific point, but a loop including Beigou. The autumn forest here is very layered, dotted with cattle, sheep, and haystacks. Beigou-Hengli Mountain (Wolf Totem and One Step Away were filmed here). There is a wooden boardwalk to the left of the parking lot to climb to the top of the mountain. Then we came to Wild Duck Lake, Red Pine Lake, and Colorful Mountain. Afterwards, return to Yeya Lake and turn right, passing by the Jiapigou birch forest, and finally arrive at Baicao Aobao. D4. Colorful Mountain & Film and Television Base On the second day in Ulan Butong, we caught up with the first snow of the year. The beauty of the colorful mountain is covered with a layer of white wedding dress, which is so beautiful that it makes people enchanted. Remember to bring your camera, because every frame is a wallpaper-worthy beauty! In the early morning, you can watch a beautiful sunrise at the film and television base. If you encounter a unique advection fog in the grassland, it will be a paradise on earth. D5. Tiantayong Village (free) Take the Jingwu Line to bypass the Huamugou Scenic Area and go straight to Tiantaiyong Village! No need to buy a ticket! The route is a bit long! But the scenery along the way is so beautiful! Swiss rolls can be seen everywhere on the roadside, shining golden in the sunset. This is also a paradise for off-road enthusiasts. In the morning, the sun slowly shines over the hills and across the tidal flats. The smoke from the villages rises. The herdsmen push open the fence. Thousands of sheep, cattle and horses are driven by the shepherds and herdsmen towards the river and across the shoals. It's like a great migration of animals. Off-road vehicles can run wild in the water, and you can also see the spectacular horse splashing performance. About accommodation and meals: 1. There are many homestays at Saihanba Yudaokou, and they are not far from the scenic spots. They are basically herdsmen’s farmhouses with average accommodation conditions. Most B&Bs can provide a la carte meals, mostly beef and mutton, and the prices are quite reasonable, not cheap. 2. Choose to stay in Ulan Butong near the Hongshan Army Racecourse. It is close to attractions and there are many restaurants and supermarkets, but don’t have too high expectations for accommodation conditions. The specialty here is Inner Mongolia meat pie and Halahai stewed potatoes. You must choose the intangible cultural heritage meat pie shop. The meat is very firm, the skin is thin and the filling is big. After eating it twice in a row, I still have endless aftertaste. Roasted lamb legs and roasted lamb chops are also recommended. Although cattle and sheep are abundant here, the price is relatively high because it is in a scenic spot, which is similar to that in Beijing. 3. Tiantaiyong Village is an undeveloped small village. You can only choose farmhouses for accommodation. The conditions are relatively difficult ~ but the scenery is very good. The B&B halfway up the mountain is indeed very quiet and relatively original. You can also see the Milky Way at night. Catering can basically be done at the farmyard. The price is also much cheaper than Ulan Butong. Note: Starting around September 15th every year, the grassland enters the forest fire prevention period, and all outdoor fires are prohibited (including picnics, smoking and other open flames)! Forest fire prevention is everyone’s responsibility!

Originally named Yujia Mountain, Wulanbutong Wucai Mountain is an excellent place to enjoy the autumn scenery of secondary forests. It is famous for its colorful autumn scenery. Every autumn, the mountains are covered with colorful clouds, like God's palette, which is breathtakingly beautiful. Standing on the top of the mountain, looking around, it seems to be in a flowing oil painting. The green of the pine, the red of the oak, the yellow of the birch and poplar, and the purple of the apricot are intertwined to form a colorful picture, like a festive costume. Different tree species present different colors due to seasonal changes, from green to golden, and then to red, layer upon layer, complementing each other, and it is a feast for the eyes. Walking in Wucai Mountain, every step can capture different scenery, as if time is frozen here, making people forget the hustle and bustle of the world. The scenery of Wucai Mountain is charming. Whether it is a photography enthusiast or ordinary tourists like us, they will be attracted by the beautiful scenery here and linger.

Autumn in Ulan Butong is irresistibly charming. The colorful scenery is like an oil painting, and it's easy to lose yourself in it. To experience this autumn fairy tale, I drove for six hours. Golden birch forests, red and brown plants, and yellow haystacks are all dazzling. 📷Here are some of the best places to take photos: 😘Haystacks: There are many haystacks rolled up by herdsmen along the way before entering the scenic area. It's a great place to take photos, and it's free. 😘Hama Dam: This is the best place to enjoy panoramic views of Ulan Butong. Herds of cattle, horses, and sheep, windmill flower seas, and the colorful plains and hills in the distance are spread out before your eyes. 😘Birch Ridge: Next to Hama Dam, there are golden forests all over the mountains. You can go into the forest to take close-up shots and enjoy a golden leaf shower. 😘Princess Lake: The lake, poplar forest, and log cabin together form a fairy tale world. It's also a great place to watch the sunset. 😘Colorful Mountain: Most people go to the observation deck to enjoy the view, but I prefer the colorful forest on the mountain. In the sunset, walk in the forest and dance in the world of gold and red. 😘Donggou Photography Base: This is a mysterious place on the Ulan Butong Grassland, a quiet valley on the yellow grassland. As the road is all dirt and there are not many tour groups, you can camp, daze, picnic, and take photos here. But the road is not very good. 💌Tips: 1. It's really cold at night, so wear more clothes. 2. The accommodation conditions in Ulan Butong are very general, so be sure to bring all toiletries. 3. If you drive by yourself, be sure to choose a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle. The road conditions on the grassland are complicated, and there are many dirt roads and pits.

As midsummer arrives, a dandelion seed born in Ulan Butong begins its wonderful journey: He arrives at the uniquely European-style grassland: the morin khuur plays the grandeur and desolation of the grassland, and the pastoral songs sing the hearts and responsibilities of the grassland's children. Wandering in Bashang, the vast blue sky covers the boundless green fields, a perfect combination of forest and grassland, possessing both the elegant and delicate feminine beauty of the south and the rugged and majestic masculine beauty of the north. He arrives at the famous film base: grasslands, wetlands, hills, birch forests... In the early morning and late afternoon, the slanting sun backlights the ridges, creating high-contrast outlines, rendering the environment with a hazy beauty, like classical oil paintings coming to life. It attracts tens of thousands of artists every year to come here for inspiration and creation. He arrives at the colorful Five-Color Mountain: every autumn, the mountains turn red, and the forests are dyed in layers, showcasing both grand scenes and delicate environments. Here, one can not only shoot high-quality film works but also experience the colorful feast brought by nature. Everywhere he goes, he sees the dedication of the people of Ulan Butong: In recent years, Ulan Butong Sumu has taken multiple measures to protect the ecological environment, regulate the tourism market, improve tourism services, and optimize the tourism environment. They have intensified the 'Grassland Cleaning Action' and the regulation of the tourism market, establishing a batch of high-quality, high-standard, and characteristic homestays. This fragile dandelion seed, with its tiny body, interprets the grandeur of the land of Ulan Butong. In this bustling green, the breeze stirs up waves of green chasing the sunset, along with all the beautiful things on the grassland... Content from Toutiao

July is relatively comfortable. Many friends choose this time period to travel. Of course, there are some who like or are on a trip, but they don't know where to choose a camping site. Although Ulan Butong Grassland does not have fixed campsites, you can't set up tents everywhere because you don't know which area is the herders' pasture. I recommend a few good spots for everyone to refer to. The film base, Wild Duck Lake, and Five-Color Mountain are all good spots. Lying on the grassland at sunset to watch the grassland sunset and sunrise. At night, you can count the stars in the sky, look at the Milky Way, and take a few great photos. In the morning, continue to go deeper along the film base, pass through the shepherd's stall in Beigou, and head to the filming location of Wolf Totem. Climb to the top of the mountain, look far away, and see that although Wild Duck Lake and Red Pine Lake are not big, they are very beautiful. Come to the lake and ride a Mongolian horse on the grassland, play football on the big meadow, and have a great time. Then go to the birch forest and take some beautiful photos. Equipment: mosquito repellent, sunscreen, moisture-proof mat, pots and pans.
