Grass Skyline Scenic Road Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
The strongest guide for the eastern and Guyuan lines of the Prairie Sky Road
Let's get straight to the guide part, see below⬇️
Prairie Sky Road East Line:
Take the Hai Zhang Expressway, and the entrance to the Ye Huling East Line is right after you get off at the Ye Huling toll station. (Picture 18)
➡️China Petroleum gas station (Prairie Sky Road station)
➡️ Xiao Nanwa camping ground
➡️ Prairie Potala
➡️ Birch Ridge
Follow the above 👆 waypoints to successfully complete the east line.
❗️Remember to refuel at the first gas station after getting off the highway, as there will be a long stretch of road without any gas stations.
❗️About 20 minutes drive from the entrance of Ye Huling, a new Starbucks opened on September 29. The Starbucks on the prairie looks pretty good in photos. The drinks are not as complete as in the city, but the basic ones are available.
❗️There are various entertainment facilities along the way, such as go-karts, CS, horse riding, etc... But I think the natural scenery is far superior, and there is no need to waste time on projects that are available in the city.
❗️There are many hiking enthusiasts at Birch Ridge, and hiking can also see a lot of scenery that self-driving can't see. If you want to hike, be sure to arrange accommodation at Birch Ridge in advance, there are many homestays.
If there is still time after the end of the east line, the Prairie Sky Road Guyuan line is also very beautiful, and the waypoints can be added as follows
➡️Da Donggou
➡️Shegouzhai
➡️Shili Mountain Village
Afterwards, you can stay in Guyuan County, where there are also some chain hotels.

What to wear for the National Day holiday in Bashang?!!
What's the temperature like on the Bashang Prairie in autumn? What kind of clothes do you need to wear? After entering autumn, the temperature in Bashang gradually cools down, and everything in Bashang gradually turns yellow. Looking around, it's a million acres of man-made forest sea, which is turning from green to golden, as if you've come to a fairy-tale world. On the prairie, the temperature difference between morning and evening is quite large, about 15 degrees during the day and 5 to 6 degrees at night.

For a long time in the city, the noisy environment, the pungent air, and the busy rhythm will always make the fragile nerves that have been strained by the huge work pressure more overwhelmed. Occasionally, the short-selling should be the basic spiritual needs of every urbanite. Even if it is described by physiological needs, I think it is not too much. In particular, Beijing residents who are plagued by smog are hard to see a blue sky even in the suburbs of Beijing. Only when they enter the grassland in the north can they smell the long-lost freshness and relaxation.
After the month of November, the grassland on the dam is so high, the grass is like the clouds, the sheep are like clouds, the horses are rushing, the peaks of the dam are like clusters, and the waters are clear; the forests in the dam area are dense, large tracts of birch forest, thick jade muscles, Between the layers of the branches and leaves, the shadow of the spots is leaked. The beautiful lightning river surrounds the jade belt and flows quietly through your side. All these photographers are looking at the beauty in their hearts! The herd, the horses, the flocks and the flocks, the rough songs of the herdsmen and the crisp long whip, combined with the sound of the birds, add to the infinite vitality of the simple grassland. Beigou, Donggou, Princess Lake, Mulan Paddock, Chifeng, Wulanbutong! Everywhere, there is nothing but a great scenery! I once thought of myself as a fairy monk in this vast world of carefree horses running around! This is the life I yearn for!

In fact, travel does not have to go far, there is a road in the heart, and everywhere is the scenery. In the three-day and two-night long holiday, you want to feel the tranquility of nature and the comfort of the city. Self-driving is the best choice. One day in the wilderness, one day in the city, although it is inevitable to use another day to hurry, but avoiding the congestion of the city, driving itself is also a good fun.
Anguli Grassland Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Every year, there are always a few days to go to the grassland to breathe the grassy air, drive away, carry three or two friends to the grassland camping picnic, enjoy the happy life. From Beijing to Inner Mongolia, it takes only half a day to drive, but the scenery has changed from a steel jungle to a prairie with wind and grass and low cattle and sheep. Happening is coming, camping immediately, eating meat and drinking in large bowls is the correct way to open grassland picnics. Camping at night, watching the twinkling stars over the grasslands.
The sky is green, the wild donkey, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. The beauty of the grassland not only appears in poetry, but the long-standing Zhangbei grassland can satisfy all your fantasies about the grassland. Zhangbei Grassland is located in Hebei Province. It was the place where the Emperor patrolled in the Qing Dynasty. It is still a very primitive natural grassland until now. Here is empty and pure, blue sky and white clouds, cattle and sheep in groups, a sentiment outside the grassland style.
In the bustling metropolis, I want to experience the charm of the grassland by chance, not too tired, drive to Zhangbei.
