If you're heading to Fengning Bashang this autumn, you must stay at this hotel! — traveler post in Bashang

If you're heading to Fengning Bashang this autumn, you must stay at this hotel!

· Recently, many friends have been asking me where to go for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. My top recommendation is Fengning Bashang. As of September 23, the situation in Bashang is that the birch forests have already turned yellow. It is currently at its most beautiful. Coming for the Mid-Autumn Festival is perfect. If you come for National Day, you'll be catching the tail end. The photos with yellow leaves in this post were taken on September 23 of this year. The other photos were taken during last year's National Day holiday. ⛺️ | About Yunxiang Campsite I remember coming to the Fengning Bashang Grassland to see the birch forests two years ago. When passing by the East Gate of Yunzhong Grassland on the Banhu Line, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a campsite in the valley and was immediately stunned. This campsite can be considered a luxury camping hotel. It backs onto a valley in the Yunzhong Grassland and features grasslands, birch forests, pine forests, streams, and windmills. It brings together all the essential elements of the Bashang Grassland. In summer, especially in July, this place is a sea of wildflowers. In autumn, you can lie in a golden birch forest space capsule and watch the clouds and the Milky Way. 🏠 | About room types The campsite offers several room types: tents, yurts, space capsules, and small villas. The space capsules are the most eye-catching and photogenic, and they are quite comfortable. The yurts are brick-concrete structures and offer the best value for money. The starry sky tents have a more rustic feel while still being comfortable. The grassland forest stream villas are two-bedroom, one-living room units, suitable for families looking to enjoy their stay. 📍 Location | Datan Town, Fengning, Chengde, Hebei 🚗 Navigation | Yunxiang Resort ⛩️ Nearby | Baili Tianlu, Qiansongba, Yunzhong Grassland, Yangchanghe Wetland · —————————————————————————— [Brother Chun] Former senior entertainment photographer for NetEase, has photographed countless celebrities, but his dream is to become a National Geographic photographer.

Ride the Squirrel Train by the lake into the golden autumn, climb the Yunting Pavilion to watch the sunrise and sunset, and take in the entire autumn landscape. Interact with camels and yaks at the forest ranch. What surprised me most was the Colorful Forest Autumn Harvest Festival, where all kinds of harvested crops make for great photo opportunities. ✨2. Stay in hotels within the scenic area When you're tired, stay in a hotel for convenient access to the scenic area. We stayed at the Colorful Forest International Resort Hotel, which offers five-star standards and a classy, new Chinese style. You can also choose the Squirrel Inn, featuring cartoon squirrel elements and a children's play area—a great spot for families. There is also the 16-Degree Hotel, which offers a fresh, Chinese-style forest atmosphere at a great value. ✨3. Taste local specialties at the Colorful Food Workshop Enjoy different meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a spacious and comfortable dining environment.

The entire journey is about 260 kilometers and takes just over three hours. Navigate to "Shenxian Valley Colorful Forest." The final stretch of the grassland highway offers excellent scenery, but please watch out for cattle and sheep crossing the road and slow down. ✨Travel tips The temperature difference between day and night in Bashang is significant, so remember to stay warm and protected from the wind. Wear light-colored or warm-toned clothing to better match the golden autumn scenery for your photos.

Forget Xinjiang! 5-day, 4-night trip to Bashang, see the wildest autumn for 1,500 per person — traveler post in Bashang

Forget Xinjiang! 5-day, 4-night trip to Bashang, see the wildest autumn for 1,500 per person

Ladies, autumn in Ulan Butong is truly breathtaking😭 Golden birch trees, milky morning mist, horses splashing through water—my camera ran out of battery, but my eyes were already drunk on the view. 🍁 Best time for autumn foliage Only 20 days! September 25–October 7 is the prime window, with golden birch trees and fiery red larch trees—the colors are at their peak. Traffic is heavy and hotel prices double during the National Day holiday, so I recommend arriving a day early. 🥾 5-day, 4-night itinerary Day 1: Depart from Beijing → Weichang → Drive through Saihanba Forest Park → Arrive at Hongshan Military Horse Farm town in the evening for a roast lamb leg feast🐑 Day 2: 5:30 AM, wait for the sunrise and morning mist at Jiangjun Paozi → Iconic scene of horses splashing in water → Birch reflections at Princess Lake → Afternoon, hike to the top of the wooden boardwalk at the Film and Television Base → Evening, watch the sunset at the European-style scenic area🌅 Day 3: Wucai Mountain with its colorful forest → Niche photo spots at Toufenggou → Afternoon, terraced fields + cattle and sheep at Hamaba pastoral village, a paradise for photographers Day 4: Hike through the colorful forests of Panlong Canyon → Walk clockwise around the Baicao Aobao three times to pray for blessings → Afternoon, go horseback riding on the grasslands🐎 Day 5: Catch any missed morning mist shots → Return trip. 📸 Must-visit highlights Jiangjun Paozi ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best for both morning mist and sunset; use a telephoto lens to capture the horses splashing in the water. Princess Lake ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Birch trees surround the lake; after 4:00 PM, the water shimmers with blue and green light—perfect for photos in a light-colored dress. Hamaba ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pastoral terraces + blue lake, the most layered scenery. 🍖 A quick note on food Roast lamb leg is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; one is enough for 2–3 people. Try the hand-grabbed meat dipped in wild chive flower sauce—it's fresh, spicy, and satisfying. Finish with salty milk tea and pulled-sugar milk tofu. You can eat your fill for 60–80 per person. Don't buy from stalls at the scenic area entrance; go to proper restaurants in town. ⚠️ Travel tips (the hard-learned version) The temperature difference is 15–20℃, and it's 0℃ in the early morning! Layer your clothing with long sleeves + fleece + down jacket, and don't forget a hat, gloves, and scarf. Admission is 120 for 3 days of unlimited entry. There is no public transport in the scenic area; chartering a car costs 300–500 per day. Fill up your gas tank before entering the scenic area; there is only one gas station inside. When horseback riding, find a legitimate stable and agree on the price before getting on the horse. 💰 Money-saving tips Take the high-speed train to Chifeng and carpool to the scenic area for about 60 per person, which is half the cost of chartering a car for the whole trip. Choose a homestay outside the scenic area for cheaper accommodation and food. Buy admission tickets online in advance to avoid lines. The birch trees aren't fully yellow before September 15, so don't rush—check the weather and be flexible with your dates🍂

Wulan Butong Granssland Scenic Area

This grassland is highly recommended. We visited in autumn, and although it wasn't as golden, it's still worth a second visit. The grassland in spring is much greener, stretching as far as the eye can see like an oasis. While the birch forests are beautiful from afar, up close they're covered in horse manure—black and polluting, making the grassland smell and the experience unpleasant for tourists, completely masking the earthy aroma. We suggest that the horse owners pick up the manure to give tourists a better impression. Overall, it's a very beautiful environment and worth visiting. Be prepared for the cold; it gets just as cold, or even colder, at night.

Ulan Butung Grasslands

🎑Ulan Butong during the Mid-Autumn Festival is absolutely the pinnacle of autumn scenery!👍🍁 The red, yellow, and green hues contrast beautifully with the blue sky and white clouds, a beauty beyond words... Here, you can forget all your worries; if you miss it, you'll have to wait another year.🍵

Ashhatu Stone Forest Scenic Area

Towering stone forests, accompanied by birch groves, offer a breathtaking view as you wander among the grey rock formations and golden leaves, experiencing the wonders of nature. Grass grows beneath the trees, while blue skies and white clouds rise above the stone forest, creating a vibrant atmosphere. In the distance, alpine meadows stretch out, vast and magnificent. The path leading here is also a tapestry of meadows and forests, with valleys and grasslands shifting and changing – a continuous panorama of beauty. The unique scenery of the Stone Forest, unlike any other place, is definitely worth a visit.

China Horse Town Tourist Resort

If you're traveling with elderly people, you need to consider their physical condition. Walking the whole way can be tiring for those who aren't physically fit. There aren't many decent restaurants inside, and the food at the restaurants is just so-so, plus the prices are relatively high.

Bai Li Skyroad

Once you arrive in Fengning, you must drive the Hundred-Mile Sky Road. I've been here before in the summer, and this National Day holiday I came again, and it was absolutely stunning. There were greens, purples, and mostly golden hues—it was breathtaking. The entire route was almost entirely paved, so even sedans could drive comfortably. A perfect score! I'll definitely come back next year.

Fengning Bashang Grassland

The scenery is particularly great. I caught up with the most beautiful time of the Colorful Forest. Off-road is also highly recommended. When playing the package project, the order was messed up. The staff arranged to take the sightseeing bus again for free, which is very humane.

Huamugou National Forest Park

I highly recommend Huamugou National Forest Park in Keshiketeng Banner, Chifeng! It's a hidden gem where forest and grassland seamlessly blend. The vast, straight birch forests are breathtaking, and in autumn, the golden leaves against the backdrop of evergreen pines and fiery red shrubs create a vibrant, almost painterly scene. The lakes and mountains of Hama Dam and Jinchan Lake offer stunning views, especially at sunrise when the reflections on the water are breathtaking – a paradise for photographers. Hiking along the wooden boardwalks is easy, and the fresh air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees – a truly therapeutic natural oxygen bar. July and August are perfect for escaping the summer heat, while late September to early October is when the autumn colors are at their peak. The roads are easy to drive on, and the park is clean. While the dining options aren't luxurious, the authentic experience is unparalleled. It's perfect for road trips within the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, family outings, and photography trips – you won't regret coming!

Dali Lake

The lakes on the grassland are very precious. Dali Lake, the second largest lake in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, has beautiful scenery. The wetlands in the South Bank Scenic Area are also worth a visit. Maybe because of the drought this year, the grass around it is not growing very well!
