Baotou, a place that witnesses the grassland of the gods!
🎈The first National Day holiday that has been let loose is destined to be a moment of overwhelming tourism. For those who have been holding back for three years and dare not go out to have fun, how can they miss such a good opportunity? To avoid the crowds, we need to consider choosing a less popular place—Baotou.
📍Saihan Tala Urban Grassland
🎟️Free
This is the only urban grassland in China, and it's free, which makes it very worthwhile to visit.
The scenic area is quite large, and it might be difficult to walk through it all, so you can choose to take a sightseeing car or, if you want to exercise, rent a bicycle to ride.
📍Wudangzhao
🎟️55 yuan
Who would have thought that you could visit a famous Tibetan Buddhist temple in Inner Mongolia? Wudangzhao is located deep in the Daqing Mountains of the Shiguai District in Baotou, and is one of the four famous Tibetan Buddhist temples in China.
The Wudangzhao architectural complex consists of eight major scripture halls (six of which still exist), three monks' residences, and a spirit hall for the stupa that enshrines the relics of past living Buddhas. Touring the entire temple takes two to three hours, and sometimes you can even listen to many historical stories behind it with the help of a tour group's guide.
📍Chunkun Mountain
🎟️45 yuan
Although it is far from the city center and the mountain roads are rugged, taking more than two hours, Chunkun Mountain and Wudangzhao are on the same route, so you can plan to visit Wudangzhao in the morning and then head to Chunkun Mountain in the afternoon.
Chunkun Mountain is a plateau meadow pasture with an altitude of 2340 meters, which is the commanding height of Baotou. If you go there before October, you may not see the lush green grass, but the continuous yellow grassland and endless mountains give people a sense of the vast wilderness.
📍Xiangshawan
🎟️120 yuan
Xiangshawan is located in the triangle area of Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Inner Mongolia, and is the easternmost end of China's famous Kubuqi Desert.
The desert here is very vast, and there are a lot of people, and there are also many hidden costs. But you can play with the sand to your heart's content here, and the feeling of sliding down from a super high place is also very thrilling.
📍Northern Weapon City
Ticket: 15 yuan
Located outside the factory area of Inner Mongolia North Heavy Industries Group Co., Ltd., this is a military-themed park. Inside there are various cannons, airplanes, and tanks, which are the favorites of children.
📍Gold Street
There is also a glittering pedestrian street in the downtown area of Baotou, called Gold Street. There are all kinds of snacks available here, and there was even a free singing performance the night we went. Standing at the intersection to take pictures, someone said: 'This place is really no worse than Xi'an.' It seems that the pedestrian street of Xi'an's Datang Everbright City has become a benchmark for the country.
🍜Ma Shoujiang Baotou Old Restaurant
This is a quite famous Mongolian restaurant chain. For our first try, we ordered hand-grabbed lamb, milk tea, shaomai, and tea soup, etc.
The lamb is very fragrant and tender, without a strong mutton smell. The Old Donghe tea soup is thick and smooth in texture, with a sweet and sour taste. The shaomai has a thin skin and is filled with a lot of stuffing, and it is fragrant with every bite.
I thought I might not be used to the taste of milk tea, but it unexpectedly became my favorite in this restaurant. It has a rich salty and fragrant taste, and the milk flavor is very strong. It also contains fried Sanzi and dried beef, which are soaked until soft and delicious, melting in the mouth.
🍜Ximeng Renjia
This is an even more authentic Mongolian restaurant, located on Fuqiang Road. This time we specifically ordered some traditional Mongolian hard dishes: horse intestines, blood sausages, and stuffed stomach meat.
But we overestimated our ability to accept them. The blood sausage had a bit of a gamey taste, and after one bite, we didn't want to eat a second one. The horse intestines were better and edible. The stuffed stomach meat also had a gamey taste and was quite substantial; after eating two, we were already very full.

Disney in the desert, Xiangshawan in Inner Mongolia
Xiangshawan in Inner Mongolia, also known as 'Yinken Xiangsha'. When the breeze slides down the 45-degree slope, the sand seems to be gently chanting. Xiangshawan is called 'Buremangha' in Mongolian, which means 'sand dune with a horn'. It is located at the eastern end of the Kubuqi Desert in the territory of Dalate Banner in Inner Mongolia. The tall sand dunes are crescent-shaped and stretch for several kilometers. The golden sand slopes are hidden under the blue sky and white clouds, presenting a magnificent scene of the vast sand sea entering the cloud sky! It's like a golden lying dragon!
If you haven't seen the desert, you must go and see it once, and only after seeing it once will you know why you should respect nature. If you like photography, you must also go once, because every shot here is a blockbuster.

You must always go to Inner Mongolia to see the grassland where the wind blows and the cattle and sheep are visible
I went to Hohhot with my friends during the summer vacation, not only went to the Xiangshawan in Ordos, but also went to the Ulan Hada Volcano, and the Red Cliff, suddenly saw the desert, grassland, and volcano, driving on the road in Inner Mongolia, It's really very comfortable and relaxing, a sense of relaxation that I have never had before! It's really an unforgettable experience

Riding on a camel amidst the rolling dunes
Whistling Dune Bay was a breathtaking desert oasis, where endless golden sand dunes stretched as far as the eye could see. The resort offered a blend of natural beauty and modern comfort, with excellent facilities that enhanced the overall experience. There were lots of things to do here!!! My favourite was riding the camel! Riding a camel amidst the rolling dunes added a touch of adventure, making the visit truly memorable. It was a perfect escape into the serene desert landscape, leaving me enchanted by the beauty of nature and the thrill of exploration.

Xiangsha Bay, the blooming lotus in the desert
If there is a world in a sand, then I have just a desert here, the sound of the sand bay, located in the Kubuqi Desert in Erdos, Inner Mongolia, this is a desolate sand dune, but enjoy the pool The cognitive contrast of playing water is a very creative hotel in China.
Look at the rainbow in the desert, watch the hail, watch the sun, the wind and the clouds suddenly change, so dreamy between the day, thanks to the woman who will cast the rainbow (see twice, she found it)

When it comes to the desert, when it comes to Xiangshawan, there will be such a picture in the minds of people: standing on the golden sand dunes and overlooking the rolling yellow sand, the sky is in the desert, the desert is uninhabited, only the camel team Head forward, the whole world is filled with desolate loneliness. As the camel's figure gets smaller and smaller, the camel ringing is getting weaker and weaker. For Erdos, the name of Xiangsha Bay has long existed in my memory for a long time. In my impression, it is adjacent to the Yellow River and has rare desert scenery in other parts of Inner Mongolia. Desert and grassland, two distinct scenery, but nature is so magical, two symbiosis in this land of Inner Mongolia, just like the man of the set of horses here is rough. There are many deserts in China, and Xiangsha Bay has his uniqueness. Today's Xiangshawan is not only a desert, but also a large and comprehensive desert leisure scenic spot integrating sightseeing and leisure. It is the first desert resort in China. The desert has always been associated with exploration and stimulus. I have never been to Xiangsha Bay. You must not imagine what the desert holiday looks like?
Sky..
Speaking of romance, the name of Xiangshawan comes from "the sand here will sing."
sand is 110 meters high and the slope is 45 degrees. It is a crescent moon and forms a huge sand mountain echo wall. Here the hills are tall and stand shoulder to shoulder, and the vast seas are endless. When you hold the sand in the middle of your hands, you will hear the wow of the wow, like a singing voice.
This 5a level scenic spot is a veritable desert leisure resort. In addition to wonderful performances, camel rides, sand-skiing and other play projects, even if you don't do anything, put on a red dress and run on the golden sand, feel the soft sand touching the soles of the feet, the wind blows, swaying The skirt angle is also a very interesting thing.
Summer PD.
China's seventh largest desert, this season has come out.
Kubuzi desert is China's seventh largest desert, "Kubchi" is Mongolian, meaning the string on the bow, because it is under the Yellow River The roots hang on the strings of the Yellow River, hence the name.
It takes about 2 hours by car from Hasan Sea to reach Xiangshawan. In the winter, Xiangsha Bay did not have the summer crowd, and it was very quiet. I like this kind of silence. The whole Xiangsha Bay seems to be surrounded by us. I sit on the pickup and head to the desert.
You can choose from a variety of desert rides of interest, like desert bikes, desert four-wheel drive, camel rides, cableway... Summer tour a line up at least an hour, winter is just a fun, and one A tranquil desert, you can take a variety of beautiful photos.
When the sands of the Bay of Sands, there are special desert ski resorts to play, while skiing and looking out into the distant desert, I feel that it is not the same. In addition to skiing and skiing, you can slide down the slope with one or more people, experience a speed and passion, and spend the fun of snow with your friends.
Desert Photo Raiders:
1. You can ride on a camel with shadow reflection
2. Try to go when snowing, desert snow is particularly beautiful
3. Clothing as much as possible to choose bright Color, like red is very good
4. Use the wide wide angle to bring the beauty of the desert to the bottom of the eye, the empty desert needs people to set off

The sand here will sing, have you heard it? Located in the Xiangsha Bay of the Kubuqi Desert in Ordos, the sand is fluttering in the wind. I am a grain of sand. This is the heart of every staff member.

When the sun has not yet risen to the horizon, the horizon has already been red. The distant mountains and urban buildings have now become the only visible outlines in the picture. At this time, Xiangshawan was peaceful and quiet. Occasionally, I heard a gust of wind slamming through the sound of blowing sand. Time was running around, and I was holding my breath and waiting for the exciting moment. .
In Xiangsha Bay, you can not only watch a magnificent and stunning desert sunrise, but also discover the magical scenes created by nature. When the wind blows, you can see that a sand stream is formed on the outermost surface of the sand dunes, and this phenomenon was once seen on TV. It is always impossible to understand how this is formed.
faded the redness of the morning light, and gradually began to pan-blue at this time. The Lingsha Hotel in the distance also revealed its mysterious veil, which is where I spent an unforgettable weekend. The resort island, situated in a mysterious desert, is the wisdom of people, and it is also known by American TV News Network as one of the shocking new hotels in China. Whether it is overlooking from the air or standing in the distance, it is like a white lotus flower blooming in the desert.

Camel riding in the desert is the most common amusement project. Xiangsha Bay in Inner Mongolia is located at the easternmost point of the famous Kubuqi Desert. It is the desert closest to the mainland and Beijing in China. It is also a 5A level.
The rolling sand dunes provide a colorful landscape for this desert, and many rides are also set up by these rolling sand dunes. Sentosa Island is an area where amusement projects are concentrated.
You can play zip lines, desert golf, bicycles, motorcycles, off-road vehicles and other items, but the most distinctive one must be a camel.
The Sanda Bay's camel team has more than 500 peak camels and is the longest camel team in the world. In Xiansha Island, the camel team has been moving around and the business is very hot.
As early as 3,000 years ago, camels were domesticated as working animals for transport and riding. They are also very common in northwestern China. Although the camel is huge, the courage is small and generally temperamental. docile.
undulating sand dunes, the shuttle hoop team, is also an excellent background for taking pictures. Standing on the high side of the sand dunes, the wind blew the skirt like a fairy.
The route of riding a camel in Xiangshawan is not long. It is usually from Xiansha Island to Yuesha Island, and some are a small circle in Xiansha Island. It is no more than 20 minutes. It is a special experience.
Camels are social animals, very obeying the order, lining up the team, tidy, walking slowly and very endurance.

As one of the only 5A scenic spots in Inner Mongolia, Erdos Xiangsha Bay, known as the sand here can sing, has long been famous. It is divided into several amusement centers. It is a special feature to go to Yuesha Island. The desert train, while going to Xiansha Island is a passionate sand-washing car, and from the island of Yuesha directly to Xiansha Island, you can even ride a camel!
The biggest feature of Yuesha Island is that there are several large desert swimming pools! Can swim in a vast desert, what can be more exciting than this? And the desert water park project here is also very interesting, to see how happy children are!
Several "Desert Island" in Xiangshawan have regular performances and are very local. Its amazing to see the Ordos wedding at the Nomadic Theatre in Yuesha Island in Xiangshawan. This is a national intangible cultural heritage. It is said to have been formed in the Genghis Khan period for hundreds of years. The Mongolian brides dress is very Beautiful!
It is worth noting to see the Three Kingdoms theme sand sculptures at Xiangsha Island Resort in Xiangshawan. From Taoyuan Sanjieyi, boiled wine to heroes, San Gu Maoyu, Tongzhan Quru, Qiu Meng, and empty city count to three points Returning to Jin and not thinking about it, it is simply a simple "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!
ZIMO.
Domestic hotels do also have a little meaning, just be a local tyrant, you can pack a piece of land, whether you want to play a natural contrast, or a small ethnic details, with you!

In fact, I am still a Mongolian man~ I would like to go to the archery together, and the result is that the gorgeous national costume is on the upper body.
There is a place to ring the sand bay far away, there is wind, there are ancient grasslands.

Little milk sheep, come and play with us for a while,
just born for a month, when the owner gave us the ewes, the ewe rushed straight down, and did not dare to approach the demonstration. I can rest assured that I will not hurt it. [snicker]
Inner Mongolia is also called the desert, because of the desolation of this camel team ~

Only in just two days, people who have experienced the sun, sand, dark clouds, squally winds, thunder and lightning, heavy rain and hail can realize the excitement and happiness of the rainbow when accompanied by the sunset glow [love]!

Children like us who live in the city rarely have the opportunity to touch the endless desert. At best, when they are young, they climb a small sand dune and compete with a bunch of little kids. Therefore, the first stop of the trip to Inner Mongolia, the Kubuqi Desert, created the infinite possibilities of our group.
If you see a group of well-wrapped people passing by, you think you are in India, then you are wrong. In the deserts of Inner Mongolia, with the scorching sun, there are many such scenic spots. Whether it is men, women and children, the protective measures are done without any traces, and there is a posture with the Indian women PK. Everything is ready, it is the time for our children to see the world. Yes, I like to call myself a child. For this 4.6 billion-year-old planet, we are all his children.

The Kubuqi Desert is a very large piece. Some areas have been circled as scenic spots. There will be more complete entertainment facilities. I chose Xiangsha Bay, 50 kilometers away from Baotou, which is a crescent-shaped chain or a lattice-like mound. . You can choose to take a taxi or you can choose to take the bus. We chose the chartered car because we are not familiar with it. all! Do not! need! Want!
From Baotou to Xiangshawan is the wood on the Gobi, it looks messy, until the parking lot in the scenic area, did not see the shadow of the sand, we are very strange, the driver master took us to the parking lot to see Far from the desert, but because it is too far, it seems to be just a flat sand. The driver said that this is too far. It is not the same when I go in. With doubts, we went to buy tickets. ~
Xiangshawan is a super-comprehensive desert leisure resort integrating sightseeing and leisure, including Fusha Island, Yuesha Island, Xiansha Island, Liansha Island, and a grain of sand. Hundreds of sightseeing and entertainment experiences, including sand-drawing, camel riding, desert motorcycles, desert archery, Ordos wedding performances, desert circus performances, water parks, etc.
Sit on the ropeway and slowly approach the desert. Suddenly I felt like a time-space tunnel, close to the yellow sand sea. The driver did not deceive us. After coming in, it was a distinct sand hill.
The next step is to change to a sand-washing car, a supercar like a ship, and take us to a sand island transfer station.
At the transfer station, the sand washing car put us down, we have to take a small train to Yuesha Island, but can't wait to start taking pictures!

The foot is on the top of the yellow sand, the reality is desolate,
driving off-road vehicles to camp in the desert!
You can wash sand in the desert during the day!
is completely different from the feeling of driving on cement road,
is like every step is slipping! In the drift!
is so hard to describe, it may only be felt when you are there.
The desert in the evening is also very lively,
is different from other campers,
I look at the starry sky directly on the roof,
uncomfortable.
Look carefully at the sand here is very special, although thick, but the sand has red, yellow, blue, white, black five colors, in fact, it is crystal clear.
And if you slip from the top of the mountain, the sand under your feet will creak, and the sand will "sound like a thunder like the thunder, as described by you." This is also the origin of Xiangshawan. !
