Saihan Tala, an urban grassland

Saihan Tala, which means beautiful grassland in Mongolian, is the largest urban grassland in China and a well-known grassland tourist attraction in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, also known as Saihan Tala Ecopark. 📍Detailed address: Geographical location: Located in the central part of Baotou city, it is the only urban wetland grassland in Baotou and the only urban grassland in China. 🌟Highlights: Historical background: Saihan Tala was originally formed by the erosion of Shimen Water. As Shimen Water shifted westward, a large wetland was formed in the low-lying areas that the river used to flow through, which is the Saihan Tala wetland. During the Ming Dynasty, Saihan Tala became the grazing land for the Urad tribe. In 1956, the eastern part of the original Urad territory was divided into the Qingshan and Kundulun districts of Baotou city, with Saihan Tala grassland located between Qingshan and Donghe districts, transforming from a suburban grassland to an urban grassland. In 1985, the Baotou Municipal People's Government decided to designate this area as a public green space. In 1994, the Baotou Municipal People's Congress made the 'Decision on the Construction of Saihan Tala Park'. In 2018, the Baotou Municipal People's Government expanded the Saihan Tala wetland and its surroundings into a nationally famous urban grassland of ten thousand acres. 🕙Opening hours: Open all day ⏳Recommended visiting duration: Half a day to a full day ❤Recommended reason: The unique urban grassland and ethnic culture
