| Enjoy the cool autumn in advance. 🚕 It takes 5 hours to drive from Beijing to Ulan Butong, and you can arrange a three-day trip to Chengde, Bashang Grassland, and Ulan Butong. 🐎 Ulan Butong is actually connected to Bashang Grassland, but the part within Inner Mongolia is called Ulan Butong Grassland, while the part within Hebei is called Bashang Grassland; In fact, the boundary between Inner Mongolia and Hebei is just a small river. You won't even notice when you cross it, it's almost negligible. 🎞 Ulan Butong is also known as the "Hongshan Army Horse Farm", and summer and autumn are the most beautiful times of the year. Many TV shows like "My Fair Princess", "The Emperor Han Wu", and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" were filmed here. 🔸 There are many small lakes scattered across Ulan Butong Grassland, also known as "paozi". The most famous one is "General Paozi". During the Kangxi period, there was a fierce battle with Galdan, and Kangxi's uncle Tong Guogang fought bravely here, giving the lake its name. 🔸 Additionally, there are Wild Duck Lake, Little Wild Duck Lake, etc. The lake where we took photos is probably Little Wild Duck Lake based on the distance. 🔸 "Jiapigou" is the area with the best vegetation in the Hongshan Army Horse Farm. 🔸 In the evening, you can visit "Baicao Aobao", which was set up to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Hongshan Army Horse Farm. 🐏 At night, of course, you can enjoy a whole roasted lamb around the bonfire. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🚕 Route From Beijing, navigate to "Ulan Butong Township". The map will default to the route through Saihanba Forest Park; it is recommended to stay in Saihanba the night before and enter Ulan Butong early the next morning. ‼️ Attention tips: 🔸 Be sure to bargain when riding horses. 🔸 The temperature is at least 5 degrees lower than in Beijing. Even in summer, you should prepare autumn clothes here. 🔸 Sunscreen, definitely use sunscreen! 🔸 If driving, be sure to stay on the official roads to avoid damaging the grassland. Many grasslands are privately owned, so avoid disputes.
