The forgotten Horqin Grassland is unbelievably beautiful

The Horqin Grassland is known as China's most beautiful mountain grassland, with varied terrain and undulating landscapes. Cattle and sheep roam freely, and the azure sky and white clouds seem to transport people into a world within a painting. The Horqin Grassland is also known as the Horqin Sandy Land. It is named after an ancient Mongolian tribal name. Located between 42°5′N to 43°5′N latitude and 117°30′E to 123°30′E longitude. The altitude ranges from 250 to 650 meters, situated on the western side of the Xilamulun River and between the Laoha River, with a high west and low east, stretching over 400 kilometers, covering an area of about 42,300 square kilometers. It falls under the jurisdiction of Wengniute Banner, Aohan Banner of Chifeng City, and Horqin Left Wing Rear Banner, Naiman Banner, Kulun Banner of Tongliao City in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China. Geologically, it belongs to the Songliao Platform Sags, Jilin Sub-Fold Belt, and Inner Mongolia Fold Belt. Since the Quaternary period, the western part of the grassland has been slowly rising, while the eastern part has been slightly subsiding, depositing a loose rock series up to 200 meters thick from the Late Pleistocene to the Holocene, forming the material basis for the 'tuos' and 'dians'. Climate characteristics: The climate is cold in winter, hot in summer, and windy in spring. This is not the famous Hulunbuir Grassland, nor is it the vast Xilingol Grassland, but a mountain grassland deeply hidden in people's hearts. The most surprising thing is that there are no mosquitoes here!!!
