So Close, So Beautiful: Weekend Escapes to Hebei
Discover mountains, waters, and the poetic beauty of Zhangbei.
The Grassland Sky Road
Spanning 323.9 kilometers along the border of Zhangbei County and Chongli District in Zhangjiakou, this "Top 10 Most Beautiful Highways in China" weaves through majestic landscapes. Stretching from Daqing Mountain in Shangyi to Huapi Ridge in Chongli, it connects ski resorts, hot springs, grasslands, and mystical caves. Its serpentine path carves through rolling hills, emerald valleys, and pastoral vistas dotted with grazing herds, painting a breathtaking scroll of northern wilderness.
Ruyi Mountain Lodge
Nestled at the foot of Huapi Ridge (2,128.7 meters), the highest peak along the Grassland Sky Road, Ruyi Mountain Lodge embodies serene elegance. Known for its crisp summer air (below 20°C) and legendary chill—"No place in the thirteen provinces rivals Huapi Ridge’s cold"—the lodge offers exclusive access to hidden trails. Just 2 km from the Huapi Ridge Expressway exit and 800 meters from the Sky Road’s eastern gateway, it stands as a secluded retreat amidst endless birch forests.
A Symphony of Nature
"Glistening waters under clear skies, mist-kissed peaks in gentle rain"—Su Shi’s poetry comes alive here. At Ruyi Mountain Lodge, immerse yourself in a forest oasis: gaze upon the Milky Way, wander through sea-like clouds, and breathe the pristine air. By day, explore rugged trails; by night, savor the silence of mountain solitude.

The food in the store is clean and hygienic, the weight is sufficient, the taste is authentic, and the boss's kindness can be seen from the dishes.
The weather forecast has been showing rain before departure, and I was very worried. When I arrived, I found that most of the grasslands were short-term thunderstorms, and the rain stopped immediately. We were super lucky and we had a beautiful double rainbow!
Walking up the wooden plank road of the villa, the mountains are vast and picturesque. The temperature on the dam is very low, and it is a natural summer resort. You must wear a down jacket at night!
