M27***17:“Mei Jie's 71st day of traveling in China, Zhangjiakou Zhangbei Bashang Grassland Heavenly Road
At the junction of Zhangbei County and Chongli District in Zhangjiakou, there is a winding asphalt road of more than 100 kilometers. It stretches across the mountains with the ups and downs of the mountains. The scenery on both sides of the road is beautiful, with rivers, mountains, meadows and terraces, like a hundred-mile painting! The blue sky connects with it, and the white clouds echo with it, just like walking on the road to heaven!
The most suitable season for Bashang Grassland is from the end of June to the end of September. The air on the grassland is pure, there is little pollution, and it is also cool in summer.
I was unlucky today. It was raining intermittently on Bashang. The sky was always overcast, and occasionally the sun poured down through the clouds, which was a different taste. I still felt cool wearing long sleeves, it is worthy of being a summer resort~”
Anonymous user:“It is a very suitable place to go at the beginning of summer. There are endless grasslands and huge characteristic yurts. You can rent bicycles in the scenic area and slowly feel the green of the grassland. The scenic area is not very large as a whole, but it is integrated with the surrounding grasslands. There are also special performances such as iron flower making in the evening, which is very exciting.”
M27***06:“Grassland Tianlu, located at the junction of Zhangbei County and Chongli District, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, from the west to the south of Shangyi County Daqingshan (National Forest Park), to the east to the Chongli County Hupiling, is connected to Chongli Ski Area, Chicheng Hot Spring Area, Zhangbei Grassland Scenic Area, Bailongdong Scenic Area, An important passage in Daqingshan Scenic Area, with a total length of 323.9 kilometers, is one of the ten most beautiful roads in mainland China. Grassland Tianlu was fully connected in August 2019. Grassland Tianlu is surrounded by tourist attractions such as Hupiling, Yehuling, Ancient Great Wall, Glass Suspension Bridge (the top of Tianlu). Along the highway, there are also many humanities, ecological and geological tourism resources such as the ancient Great Wall site, Fupiling, Yehuling, Zhangbei Grassland. The whole line of grassland Tianlu has improved the conditions of regional roads and improved the level of transportation infrastructure construction, providing a strong guarantee for the development of characteristic tourism poverty alleviation industries and tourism poverty alleviation projects such as homestays and farmhouses in poor villages along the route.”
Opening hours: 07:40-19:00 (admission ends at 17:30)
001***38:“It's fun, especially the tunnel fortifications, which allow you to experience the scenes of the war back then. People are smart and wise, and the underground is a completely different world. Everything is well considered, self-contained, safe and hidden. I recommend that all children go and see it. It is a very good red education base.”
M25***58:“The grassland scenery is beautiful, not many people, the iron flower making at night is very exciting, basically come to see the performance, just looking at the grass is not interesting. There are villages around, it is convenient to live, you don't have to live in the scenic area, it is also close to the Tianlu.”
_We***95:“Huapiling is the western entrance of Zhangbei Grassland Tianlu. It is about two hours' drive from downtown Beijing. The area is not large. It takes about 20 minutes to drive to the entrance of Tianlu after getting off the highway. There are many unique farmhouses with restaurants and accommodation along the way.”
Anonymous user:“The place is super big, the service staff are very enthusiastic and enthusiastic, the Mongolian costume show T-stage show is great (the female model is tall and stylish), the equestrian show is very distinctive, recreating the war and scenes during Genghis Khan's period”
山在穷游:“Don’t come to the Yuanzhongdu ruins in winter. One is because this place is very desolate, but because this attraction does not open the door, but we circled the fence outside and took some photos. It felt quite shocking. After all, it was Zhongdu in Dayuan.”
M24***32:“The grassland scenery is nice, but the style is relatively simple. I took a small train and felt it was okay. At night, I took a ride on the small magic wheel inside, overlooking the grassland. I was impressed that it was also very grand. There was also a fireworks show inside, which is worth seeing”
Please contact the attraction to confirm specific opening hours
掠影0103:“We went to this grassland sky road. It was a thunderstorm, five thunderstorms in a row. This sky road is winding and ups and downs. It was built to repair the wind power generation on the roadside. If the weather is good, the scenery should be good. It takes half a day to prepare time. There are many viewing platforms to stay. There are also many places to eat and play along the way. If you have enough time and the weather is good, it is still a good tourist route. There is no charge for the whole journey.”

M40***81:“I really thank myself for my wise choice. In a grassland with 26 degrees during the day and only 8 degrees at night, I booked a yurt with air conditioning and warmth, otherwise we would be frozen into a wilted radish. At this time, the only happiness I have when I come to the grassland is riding a horse and eating roasted lamb legs! As for the grassland, I am haha, it's all yellow. If it weren't for this lamb leg and lamb stewed with potatoes to make up for my heart, it would really feel like a waste of time. The comments did not lie to me. It turned out that he is a young boss, and he is very good with laughter and chat. I still recommend it to everyone. His location is not advantageous, but the facilities and services are very good. Don't ask me why, because we walked all the way to their store. Along the way, I saw several farmhouses and the conditions were really not good. It may be a bit exaggerated, but you can hit me if you don't believe it. As I said, there is nothing that a lamb leg can't solve.”
M22***10:“A very nice campsite with performances during meals and free bonfire parties at night.
I especially recommend the grilled lamb chops, which are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.”
M36***59:“During my trip, I suddenly wanted to eat meat. I passed by and saw A Fang once. I thought it was pretty good, so I ordered a few dishes at random. There were a lot of hand bones, which were very delicious when dipped in sauce. The proprietress also recommended a few appetizers. After eating, I felt much better. I will have to eat more in the future. The food here is really delicious. I highly recommend it.”
青草堂度假营地:“A very happy dining and accommodation experience!
[Taste] I recommend their roasted lamb leg, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is a perfect match with local specialties and pot tea.
[Environment] You can choose to dine in the pavilion in the courtyard or in the yurt. The environment is quiet and the courtyard is super large, so children can play to their heart's content. Free toys are also provided.
[Service] The couple is very enthusiastic and responsive. They enthusiastically helped us plan our trip.”
石头爹0219:“Afang Bashang Restaurant (Zhangbei Main Branch) has more than 1,000 online reviews.
The first one is fried meat with day lily. I must order it when I see it for the first time, but the taste is just average.
The second one is sand onion, which is grown in sandy land and is a specialty of Zhangbei. It is cold and retains moisture. The concentration of juice in each bite is similar to that of cucumber.
The third one is lamb tripe, the fourth one is lamb skewers, and the fifth one is Mongolian steamed buns, which are actually steamed dumplings with lamb and green onions. In short, the unique tenderness of Zhangbei lamb.
Finally, the mooncakes given by the store have five-nut fillings.
Perfect!”
M56***87:“I heard from my friends that this roasted whole lamb is very delicious. The private room booked in advance has a Mongolian style. Their whole lamb is freshly killed, very fresh, and I didn't make a wasted trip. I went to this restaurant with three families, and we all praised it. The room was also very comfortable. We had a good meal and a comfortable stay. It was worth the trip. Recommended dishes: roasted whole lamb, Mongolian pot tea, and mixed sand onions are really delicious🤤🤤🤤”
青草堂度假营地:“How can you only eat mutton when you go to Zhangbei Grassland! Iron pot stew is definitely the representative of northern cuisine.
[Taste] This Northeastern daughter-in-law iron pot stew located in the east of Zhangbei County has a taste that suits modern tastes.
[Environment]
The store is decorated in a strong northern style, and the large flowered cloth and earthen kang are very rural.
[Service] The boss and waiters are very enthusiastic”
路游客热河体:“Very nice villa! The owner and waiters are enthusiastic. The food is delicious. The secret roasted lamb leg is great! Recommend friends to come here.
[Taste] The owner's secret roasted lamb leg is great
[Environment] Clean
[Service] The owner and waiters are very good”
杨大圆脸:“The lamb chops tasted really good! 100% recommended. I saw that others couldn't eat that much, but the two of us ate a whole lamb chop. It was so fragrant...
I personally think the roasted milk skin is delicious. How can I describe the taste of the mixed shallots? At the end of the meal, it felt like chewing onions, so I think it was a bit spicy
The service was also good. It's best to line up in advance during meal time. There are still a lot of people”
M11***35:“The owner of the B&B is really nice.
We feel at home and are always willing to help.
The B&B prepared some costumes for the children, which are very photogenic.
The roast lamb set is perfect❤️”
