4.4/5

Ulagai Grassland is named after the Ulagai River and is a well-preserved natural grassland deep within the Xilin Gol Grassland. Known for its vast, sparsely populated landscape and expansive skies, it is often called the "Grassland on the Horizon." The area features diverse natural landscapes, including primitive grasslands, lakes, wetlands, birch forests, Peony Valley, and Huanghuagou. It also preserves historical sites such as Bulin Temple, Genghis Khan's Border Wall, and the Gulabusaihan Aobao, while the nomadic customs of the Ujumqin tribe have been passed down here for generations. The winding Ulagai River spreads across the grassland like a hada. The river's repeated twists and turns around the Jiuquwan area outline the classic image of hilly grasslands, making it a favorite spot for photography enthusiasts. The movie "Wolf Totem" was filmed on location in this grassland. In the Wild Wolf Valley, you can observe prairie wolves up close and feel the wilderness atmosphere of human-wolf coexistence from the original novel. Around Bulin Spring, springs and temples coexist, and the nearby preserved site of the "educated youth" settlement carries memories of the production and construction corps era. Legend has it that when Genghis Khan unified the Mongol tribes, he decisively defeated the Tatar tribe at the confluence of the Ulagai and Seyeleji rivers, leaving behind legends of ancient battlefields in this grassland. Exploring this grassland is best done by self-drive, as the attractions are far apart. A common route is to follow the loop connecting Jiuquwan, Wild Wolf Valley, Bulin Spring, and Peony Valley. In summer, the grass is lush and the climate is cool. In early summer, you can even catch the wild peonies in full bloom. Activities like horseback riding and riding in lele carts are perfect for slowing down and experiencing the grassland at a leisurely pace. The temperature difference between day and night on the grassland is significant, and the sunlight is intense, so be sure to prepare sun protection and warm clothing in advance.East Ujimqin Banner · >100km from downtown

The site of Yuan Shangdu is located on the north bank of the Lightning River, about 20 kilometers northeast of Shangdu Town, Zhenglan Banner, south of Xilinhot City. Later, after the Yuan Dynasty made Beijing the capital, it was used as a companion capital, also known as Shangjing or Luanjing. The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty led important ministers to come here every summer to escape the summer heat and handle government affairs, so the palace was built into a garden-style palace. Yuan Shangdu site is square, standing on the platform outside the city, you can vaguely identify the pattern of the house in that year. In addition, there is a large garden near the capital. In ancient times, there were bamboo pavilions, marble palaces, and exotic flowers. Originally, some elk and other animals were stocked for the emperor to hunt. In 1358 AD, Shangducheng was burnt to the ground in the peasant uprising in the late Yuan Dynasty, and then went through wars and turned into a "ruin embracing a huge civilization". There are 13 gates in Yuanshangdu. Among them, there are 3 gates in the palace city, but no urn city; 4 gates in the outer city, all have square or horseshoe-shaped urn city outside the city gate.Zhenglan Banner · 19.2km from downtown

I went there with my family by car in early August and stayed in Holingol. The scenic area has complete facilities, and the staff are very professional and friendly. The area is very clean, with no litter in the corners, and the restrooms are quite clean. The grassland scenery is best viewed from afar. In my memory, crossing one mountain leads to a sea, or another mountain. On the other side of this mountain is grassland, and the mountain itself is also grassland... What I felt here was more of a sense of vicissitude and vastness. It's a place where you can find a moment of peace and tranquility, and it's worth coming to experience the blue sky and green grass, the coolness and fragrance!

The autumn colors are absolutely beautiful and pristine. Strolling around slowly with the autumn breeze in the air is incredibly pleasant. The only downside is that some roads are under construction, preventing you from circling the lake and forcing you to backtrack. However, given the stunning scenery, it's still highly recommended.

The Bulin Spring in Inner Mongolia is a scenic spot on the grassland that combines natural charm and cultural heritage. It means "hot spring" in Mongolian. The spring water is kept at a constant temperature of 4°C, with an annual flow of 55,000 tons. It is rich in minerals, sweet and clear, and is regarded as a "holy spring" by herdsmen. Legend has it that Genghis Khan once quenched his thirst and predicted his marriage here, adding a legendary color to it. In the scenic area stands a statue of Genghis Khan bending his bow, echoing the heroic spirit of the history of war and iron cavalry. It also reproduces the film and television base of "Wolf Totem" to reproduce the years of the Corps and the scenes of life on the grassland. Visitors can not only taste natural spring water, stroll on the ancient plank road, but also immerse themselves in the original grassland culture, feel the vitality nourished by the hot springs and the historical heritage of the Mongolian people, which is a model of the integration of nature and humanity.

Beizi Temple in Xilinhot. This Tibetan Buddhist temple, built in 1743, has been intensively repaired by seven generations of living Buddhas and is large in scale. Stepping into the temple gate, the carved beams and painted buildings, the multi-story buildings and pavilions are amazing, and the rich Buddhist atmosphere hits you. The murals in the temple are exquisite and vividly tell the history and culture of the Mongolian nation. I slowly walked up the steps and came to the Erdun Aobao behind the temple. The thirteen Aobao are solemn and solemn, carrying people's good wishes. Standing on Aobao Mountain and looking down, Beizi Temple and Xilinhot City complement each other, forming a unique picture scroll, which made me deeply feel the charm of the fusion of history and modernity.
