If you think the mountains in Jiangsu only have the elegance of Zijin Mountain and the gentleness of Huishan, then you definitely haven't been to Jiulongjian in Jurong. Here lies a "high mountain meadow" that hiking enthusiasts become addicted to—nine continuous peaks undulate like the spine of a giant dragon, covered with waist-high cogongrass. When the wind blows, it ripples like green waves, making you feel as if you've stepped into Wugong Mountain in Jiangxi or the classic Windows desktop wallpaper. There are no steps, no cable cars, only winding ridge trails and vast wilderness—this is a rare "high mountain meadow" landscape in East China. Even more precious is that this secret place, called the "Little Wugong Mountain" by hikers, still retains its original wild mountain charm. There is no scenic area gate, no entrance fee, only trails forged by hikers' footsteps and the freedom of standing on the ridge overlooking the world. Only an hour's drive from Nanjing, this seriously underrated mountain ridge secret is becoming the "new favorite" in the Yangtze River Delta hiking community with its unique meadow scenery. Nine continuous peaks, tens of thousands of acres of high mountain meadows, free admission, nearby mining pit "blue tears"... all gathered here, yet it remains quietly niche. This is a visual feast of ridges and meadows and a healing journey measured by your own feet. First Encounter with Jiulongjian: A Rare "High Mountain Meadow" in Jiangnan Jiulongjian is located at the junction of Jurong and Jiangning, named after the nine continuous peaks. The highest peak is 433 meters above sea level. Although not very high, the mountain is relatively independent, offering extremely broad views. The most stunning feature is the endless high mountain meadow on the summit—rare in the hilly and water-rich Jiangnan region. From the foot of the mountain, the vegetation shows a unique layering. Below the mid-mountain are dense shrubs, but above a certain height, trees suddenly disappear, replaced by waist-high cogongrass covering the hillsides. When the wind blows, it creates waves of green. The feeling of openness is like suddenly walking from a forest into a grassland. The moment you stand on the first peak, the view opens up—the continuous ridge line winds and undulates like a green dragon crawling on the earth. The peaks in the distance rise one after another, with the farthest one faintly visible in the mist. The mountain wind whistles past your ears, rustling the cogongrass, surrounding you with vastness. This sense of freedom is something you can never experience in the city. Walking the Ridge: Between Meadow and Sky The hiking route of Jiulongjian follows the ridge line, about 6-7 kilometers long with a total ascent of about 400 meters. There are no steps or railings, only narrow trails made by hikers, faintly visible among the cogongrass. From the first peak to the third peak is the most scenic section. The meadow here is lush, with cogongrass taller than knees on both sides, walking through it feels like moving through a golden ocean. Looking back, the trail draws a beautiful arc on the ridge, with layered mountains and faint city outlines in the distance. The fourth peak is the highest point at 433 meters. Standing on the summit, the view is extremely wide—northward you see Jiangning city, southward the mountains and waters of Jurong, eastward the continuous mountain ranges, and westward the Yangtze River alluvial plain. On a clear day, you can even faintly see the outline of Zijin Mountain in Nanjing. The section from the fifth to the seventh peak is relatively flat and the easiest part of the hike. The meadow here is denser, with some cogongrass taller than a person, like walking through a green maze. Occasionally, you can see a few lonely pine trees growing crookedly among the grass, looking like natural bonsai. The eighth and ninth peaks mark the end of the route and another scenic highlight. From here, you can overlook the mining pit lakes at the foot of the mountain—the water is a deep blue-green, shining like a huge emerald in the sunlight, locally known as "Jurong Blue Tears." The whole hike takes about 3 hours if fast, or 4-5 hours if slow. No need to worry about getting lost; there is only one main trail along the ridge. Seasonal Changes: The Thousand Faces of the Meadow The beauty of Jiulongjian changes with the seasons. Late spring to early summer (May-June) is the greenest season for the meadow. After spring rains, the cogongrass sprouts fresh green shoots, covering the ridge like a green velvet carpet. Mountain flowers bloom in yellow, purple, and white, dotting the grass. The temperature is comfortable, making it the best time for hiking. Autumn (October-November) is the most spectacular season. The cogongrass turns from green to yellow, then golden brown, glowing warmly in the sunlight. The whole ridge looks like a golden ocean on fire, with waves of grass rolling in the wind, evoking a vast and refreshing feeling. Winter (December-February) brings a desolate poetic charm. The cogongrass turns yellow and withers, revealing the bare ridge lines, sketching simple lines against the gray-blue sky. If it snows, the snow-covered meadow looks even more vast and magnificent. Summer (July-September) has the most lush grass but is also the most challenging season. There is no shade on the mountain, full sun exposure, and temperatures several degrees higher than at the foot. If you choose to go in summer, be sure to prepare sun protection, bring enough water, or start early in the morning or late in the afternoon. More Than Mountains: Treasure Secrets Around Jiulongjian Jiulongjian itself can be explored in half a day to a full day, but several "treasure secrets" nearby can be linked for a fulfilling day trip. Wangxiantan—"Jurong Blue Tears" Not far from Jiulongjian in the border town lies a stunning mining pit lake—Wangxiantan. Formed by water accumulation in an old mining pit, the lake water is a deep blue-green, shining like a huge emerald in the sun, known online as "Jurong Blue Tears." The steep rock walls around the lake are covered with moss, contrasting sharply with the blue water. A newly built "Fuxi Tea House" by the shore offers a place to sit, sip tea, and gaze at the Blue Tears. There is no entrance fee, parking is free, making it a great photo spot. Lunshan Lake—Slow Life Amid Lake and Mountains After descending Jiulongjian, you can drive to Lunshan Lake, the largest reservoir in Jurong. The water is clear, surrounded by green mountains. There is a lakeside trail for walking and cycling. The recently opened trendy cafes "Refraction Coffee" and "Wilderness Coffee" are located on a high ground by the lake, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the water. Order a coffee, sit by the window, and enjoy the lake and mountain scenery—pure relaxation to wash away hiking fatigue. Qianhua Ancient Village—The Bustling Atmosphere of Ming and Qing Dynasties If time permits, visit Qianhua Ancient Village at the foot of Baohua Mountain. This reconstructed ancient village features Ming and Qing dynasty styles, with stone-paved streets, old shops, small bridges, and flowing water, restoring the life scenes of ancient towns. You can experience the village tofu workshop, winery, and teahouse, buy freshly made tofu, drink homemade rice wine, and feel the life of the ancients. Travel Tips: How to Enter This High Mountain Meadow 🚗 Transportation Guide Self-driving (preferred): Search navigation for "Jiulongjian" or "Jurong Jiulian Peaks." The hiking start point is at the junction of Jiangning District, Nanjing, and Jurong City. It takes about 1 hour from downtown Nanjing, about 1 hour from Zhenjiang, and about 1.5 hours from Changzhou. Navigate to "Qinglin Community" or "Tongshan," drive along rural roads to the mountain foot, where roadside parking is available. Public transport: Take Metro Line S6 (Ningju Line) to "Huangmei Station," then take a taxi about 20 minutes to the Jiulongjian hiking start point. It is recommended to book a ride in advance for the return trip. 🗺️ Hiking Route Classic traverse route (about 4-5 hours): Start (near Qinglin Community) → First Peak → Second Peak → Third Peak → Fourth Peak (highest) → Fifth Peak → Sixth Peak → Seventh Peak → Eighth Peak → Ninth Peak → End (descend to Jurong side), about 7 kilometers in total. Friendly reminder: The start and end points are not the same. If driving, it is recommended to park at the start point and take a taxi back to retrieve your car after hiking (about 15-20 minutes). Alternatively, use two cars, one parked at the start and one at the end. You can also return the same way, but the distance will double, which is not recommended.

March Off-Peak Self-Driving Trip: 3 Days from Xi'an, From Spring Flower Seas to Snowy Secrets Standing at Labrang Monastery at an altitude of 3200 meters, the sun beat down hard on my face—forget KPIs! 🙅‍♀️ This is how the New Year should be celebrated! The feeling of being healed is something you have to experience to understand! 🔥 Day 0️⃣｜Xi'an → Gangu (Overnight) Directly drove after work, 4 hours to Gangu 🌙 Overnight in the small town, the next morning a bowl of beef noodles 🍜 The broth was rich, and the carbs were plentiful, giving me energy for the high-altitude journey! 😋 Day 1️⃣｜Gangu → Labrang Monastery → Xiahe (Overnight) Departed at 7 am, heading towards the tranquil red walls and golden roofs of Labrang Monastery 🙏 The prayer wheel corridor after the snow was serene and sacred; my fingertips touched the prayer wheels, and my heart was at peace. 💙 Enjoyed yak hotpot at 【Uzelinka】 this evening; the broth was incredibly delicious! 🍲 I used to focus on whether I'd get a headache, but after this trip, I realized—my stomach is the most likely to cause problems. High-altitude environments are inherently challenging for the body. Crossing provinces, changing climates, and altering diets, plus dry air, large temperature differences between day and night, and disrupting your sleep schedule. Many people think altitude sickness is just headaches, chest tightness, and palpitations. But there's something many people overlook—intestinal altitude sickness. As the altitude increases, the body adapts to the lack of oxygen. Add to that the completely different diet of yak meat, butter tea, and yogurt, and your digestive system can easily struggle, leading to symptoms similar to traveler's diarrhea and loss of appetite. So, I prepared beforehand, bringing high-altitude probiotics in my bag. They use a high-altitude-specific strain, better suited to the changing altitude and diet. Just two packets a day, no need to rinse, very convenient for the journey. This trip included yak hotpot, dried beef, and yak yogurt, and my stomach felt fine; I tried almost every kind of delicious food. D2｜Xiahe→Gongba Temple→Zhagana (Overnight) I bundled up like a ball to watch the sunrise, and the moment the golden light bathed the golden roof was so moving I almost cried! 😭 Crossing Zhagana, the snow-capped mountains and grasslands were breathtakingly beautiful! 🏔 In the evening, I sat by the fire and watched the stars; the Milky Way seemed almost within reach! 🌌 D3｜Zhagana→Zhouqu→Xi'an Fairy Beach in the morning mist, the Stone City appearing and disappearing—few crowds in winter, I had the place to myself! 📸 A stopover in Zhouqu for a bowl of pickled cabbage noodles—time to return! 🍜

Babes! I kept seeing those “grassland and desert in one frame” beautiful scenes, and this year I finally rushed to Chifeng. I was so amazed I didn’t want to leave! In 5 days, I rode the grassland wind, stepped on glowing white desert sand, chased migratory birds by the lake, and every bite of meat was so delicious I wanted to stomp my feet! This article has all the details I personally tested, including car rental and pitfalls to avoid, just copy it directly! 🚗 How to get to Chifeng? 3 tested transportation options 1. Plane: I flew from Shanghai to Chifeng Yulong Airport, a direct flight of 2.5 hours, super convenient! The airport is only 15 km from downtown, a taxi costs about 30 yuan, 20 minutes to the hotel, no hassle upon arrival~ 2. High-speed train: My friend took the high-speed train from Beijing, 2.5 hours direct to Chifeng Station. She said you can see the gradual change from city to grassland along the way and can get up and move anytime, more comfortable than flying. Taxi from the train station to downtown costs 10 yuan. 3. Self-drive/charter: Important! Chifeng’s attractions are very spread out, for example, it takes 2.5 hours from downtown to Ulan Butong, really inconvenient without a car! I rented an SUV on Trip.com, 5 days cost over 600 yuan, with free airport pickup and drop-off. You can stop whenever you want along the way, get off to take photos of beautiful grassland scenery, super free~ (Remember to choose insurance, beginners don’t drive at night, some grassland roads have no streetlights) 🏞 5 must-visit attractions! Personally tested with no regrets, plus hidden experiences 1. Yulong Sand Lake (My favorite!) Known as “China’s Little Dubai,” white desert sand with blue-green lake water. Standing on the dunes to take photos, even the shadows look beautiful under the sunlight! - Must-do: Desert off-road adventure is a must! I chose the “deep crossing” option, the driver was amazing, my heart raced when charging up sand slopes. Along the way, we stopped on deserted dunes to shoot “owning the whole desert” photos. 180 yuan/person for 1 hour, totally worth it! - Hidden experience: Go to the “Sand Lake Viewing Platform” one hour before sunset. The sunset dyes the desert golden red, the lake surface reflects like a mirror. I took amazing shots with my phone; at night, stay in the container hotel inside the scenic area, open the window to see the desert, lie in bed and watch the stars, and at 4 a.m. you can get up to watch the desert sunrise with no crowds~ - Pitfall to avoid: Don’t buy sandboards at the entrance! Renting inside the scenic area is 30 yuan each, vendors outside sell for 50 yuan and don’t include shuttle service. 2. Ulan Butong Grassland (The ultimate summer cool spot) In July, the average temperature was 22°C, the grassland breeze made me not want to leave! The homestay owner is a Mongolian mom who arranged a super immersive experience for us~ - Must-do: Learn to make milk tea with mom, first fry rice then add fresh milk. The milk tea has a roasted aroma and tastes amazing with milk tofu; choose the “slow horse riding experience,” a herder leads the horse, you can see herds of cattle and sheep along the way, and reach “General’s Pool” lake with super healing scenery. 80 yuan/hour, safe for beginners; - Night activity: The homestay organizes bonfire parties where everyone dances the Andai dance around the fire. Mom also grills lamb skewers, freshly slaughtered lamb is super tender, just sprinkle salt and it smells amazing, 10 yuan/skewer, paired with grassland beer, happiness maxed out~ - Note: Don’t wear white clothes! There are horseflies on the grassland, they don’t bite but leave black spots that are hard to wash off. 3. Dalinor Lake (Bird watching + full fish feast) Known as “the sea on the grassland,” I happened to catch the spawning migration of Huazi fish, thousands of fish swimming upstream, super shocking! - Must experience: Go early to the fish viewing corridor! Before 8 a.m. it’s less crowded and you can see the fish up close; by the lake is the “Grassland Fishing Village,” where I had an amazing full fish feast. The steamed Huazi fish was tender and melted in my mouth, I ate two bowls of fish soup with rice, 6 people shared a table for just over 300 yuan, great value; - Hidden spot: “Manduo Mountain” on the west shore of the lake. Climb up to overlook the whole lake, like a sapphire embedded in the grassland. The best light is at 3 p.m., photos need no editing. 4. Ashatu Stone Forest (Nature’s sculpture gallery) A 5A-level scenic spot, the granite stone forest is spectacular. I followed a guide on the “essence route,” and saw the main attractions in 2 hours~ - Must-see: “Moon Castle” looks like a fairy tale castle, “Fairy Peak” looks like a fairy draped in gauze from certain angles; there are wooden boardwalks in the scenic area, easy to walk, with rest pavilions along the way to sit and snack if tired; - Photo tip: Wear solid colors! Like red or white, which contrast strongly with the gray stone forest, photos come out great; - Transportation: You must take the sightseeing bus inside the scenic area, 50 yuan/person, don’t walk! The attractions are too far apart and you’ll get too tired. 5. Daoxugou Scenic Area (Little Xishuangbanna beyond the Great Wall) Super cool in the primeval forest, average 20°C. My friend and I walked the “Parent-child Adventure Trail,” though it’s called parent-child, adults will find it very fun too~ - Must-do: Follow the map to find the “hidden waterfall,” crossing streams and climbing wooden ladders along the way. Finding it gives a great sense of achievement, the water under the waterfall is very cool, perfect for summer; the scenic area offers a “wilderness survival class” teaching how to identify edible plants and set up tents, 30 yuan/person, great for kids or outdoor lovers; - Food: Don’t miss the “wild vegetable buns” at the scenic area entrance! Filled with freshly picked bracken, each bite is full of fresh aroma, 5 yuan each, paired with millet porridge, very stomach-friendly. 🍱 4 must-eat foods in Chifeng! Personally tested with no regrets 1. Hand-held meat (a must-eat!) I had hand-held meat in Ulan Butong, boiled in clear water, dipped in chive flower sauce, no gamey taste at all. Mom said to “eat meat with big bites,” I grabbed it with my hands, super satisfying! 68 yuan per jin, 1 jin enough for 2 people. 2. Chifeng Duijia (carb bomb) “Old Sun’s Duijia” in Hongshan District is a 20-year-old shop. I went at 9 a.m. and still queued! The crispy crust crumbles with each bite, the smoked meat inside is super fragrant. Add an egg for only 8 yuan each, eat with tofu pudding, super satisfying breakfast. 3. Milk tofu (Mongolian specialty) Pan-fried milk tofu is super fragrant, crispy outside and tender inside, with a milky aroma. I originally didn’t like dairy but ended up eating 3 pieces! 25 yuan per serving, even better with honey. 4. Rougou chicken (rice companion) I ate it at “Old Chifeng Restaurant” downtown. Chicken and pork stewed together, rich soup, mixed with rice tastes amazing. I ate 2 bowls, 48 yuan per serving, great value. 🚗 5 days 4 nights itinerary (personally tested, reasonable, no rush) Day 1: Shanghai → Chifeng Yulong Airport → rent car → Yulong Sand Lake (desert off-road, watch sunset) → stay in container hotel Day 2: Yulong Sand Lake (watch sunrise, sand sliding) → Ulan Butong Grassland (make milk tea, horse riding) → stay in grassland homestay (bonfire party, eat skewers) Day 3: Ulan Butong Grassland (General’s Pool, Princess Lake) → Dalinor Lake (fish watching, full fish feast) → stay in lakeside homestay Day 4: Dalinor Lake (Manduo Mountain viewing) → Ashatu Stone Forest (essence route) → stay near stone forest scenic area hotel Day 5: Daoxugou Scenic Area (hiking, find waterfall) → return car → Chifeng Station → return trip ❗ 10 personally tested pitfalls to avoid (super important) 1. Lots of mosquitoes and bugs on the grassland, bring mosquito repellent! I used “Liushen mosquito repellent floral water,” super effective. Don’t buy from scenic areas, 10 yuan bottle sold for 30. 2. Big temperature difference between morning and night! Even in July bring a light jacket. I wore short sleeves at night on the grassland, got a cold the next day. 3. Protect yourself from sun in the desert! Bring sunglasses, face mask, SPF50+ sunscreen. I didn’t wear a face mask and my neck got sunburned. 4. Respect local customs: take off shoes before entering Mongolian yurts, don’t step on door thresholds; when encountering an ovoo (stone heap), walk around it clockwise 3 times, don’t throw stones randomly. 5. Don’t buy “grassland specialties” in scenic areas! For example, beef jerky sells for 80 yuan per jin in scenic areas, but only 50 yuan in city supermarkets, and you can try before buying. 6. Rent an SUV! Some grassland roads are dirt roads, sedans easily scrape the bottom. My rented SUV had no problems at all. 7. Don’t drive randomly on the grassland! Undeveloped areas may have swamps. Follow navigation on paved roads for safety. 8. Don’t drink cold drinks with lamb! Easy to get diarrhea. My friend drank cold cola and had stomach pain at night, had to get medicine from the homestay owner. 9. Don’t buy “boat tickets” at Dalinor Lake! 150 yuan per person, low cost performance. Better to climb Manduo Mountain to overlook the lake. 10. Don’t wear sandals in Daoxugou! The trail has stones that hurt your feet. Sneakers are most comfortable. Babes! Chifeng is truly an underrated treasure, with vast grasslands, stunning deserts, and super delicious food. Next time I want to bring my parents again! If you have any questions, ask me in the comments, I’ll tell you everything~

——I didn’t stay in Chifeng for long. After visiting the Liao Dynasty Memorial Hall, I became very interested in the Ming Dynasty Pagoda and the Jin Dynasty Small Pagoda. I spent the remaining half day to see these ancient pagodas from thousands of years ago. . 👉Liao Daming Pagoda The Daming Pagoda is located in the Liao Zhongjing ruins in Nancheng Village, Tianyi Town, Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It is a 100-kilometer drive from Chifeng City to Ningcheng County. There is a speed limit throughout the journey and it takes about an hour and a half to drive there. It was originally called Daning Pagoda. There are still disputes about the time when the pagoda was built. One theory is that it was built between the 25th year of Tonghe of Liao Dynasty and the fourth year of Shouchang (1007-1098 AD). Another theory is that it was built in the fourth year of Chongxi period of Liao Dynasty. The pagoda is octagonal and has 13 floors. The dense-eaves solid brick tower has a total height of 80.22 meters, a base diameter of 36 meters, and a circumference of 112 meters. It is the only existing building in the Liaozhongjing site😊 . 👉Jin Dynasty Small Pagoda The Jin Dynasty Small Pagoda is 2.5 kilometers away from the Daming Pagoda and a 5-minute drive. It was built in the Dading year of Jin Dynasty (1163). The total height of the tower is 24 meters, the plane is octagonal, and the base is 33 meters long. It is a brick-built thirteen-level small tower with dense eaves and no platform around it. It rises from the ground. The bottom floor is a base, 2.7 meters high. The tower is a small tower. style, there is a small Buddhist niche in the south, with brick-carved orbs and flames to seal the top. . ——The two ancient pagodas located in the fields echo each other. Looking down from the air, it reminds people of the grand scene of Liao Zhongjing. It also makes people sigh that these two stone pagodas are the only remaining buildings, and There is another half-section tower about 3 kilometers away from these two towers. These three towers now constitute the most important ground buildings in the Liao Zhongjing ruins. They are also here in Chifeng. It is the most intuitive monument of the Liao Dynasty at close range. 🙂 . 📍Address: Daming Pagoda is located in Tianyi Town, Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region

💰Tickets: The tickets for the scenic area are a bit expensive, 80 yuan per person, and 120 yuan per person for a small package, including tickets, sightseeing bus and Wild Man Valley performance. The price is constantly changing, so it is recommended to consult the service area of the scenic spot. If you have the physical strength, it is recommended to buy a one-way uphill ticket and walk down from Tuhe Spring (a bit far, starting at 5 kilometers). 🚂Take the bus: After checking the ticket and entering the scenic area, turn right and you will see the waiting area. First take the sightseeing bus to Holke, then transfer to the small train to Tuhe Spring. You need to keep your ticket for inspection.

|The French Fry Mountain, formed 10 million years ago, is so spectacular. Nanjing | The French Fry Mountain, formed 10 million years ago, is so spectacular. In my notes yesterday, I introduced Lianshan Bashang Grassland to you. It can be seen that everyone is very interested in a one-day trip to Liuhe. Next, we would like to introduce another attraction on this line, Liuhe National Geopark, which is a 20-minute drive from Lianshan Grassland. Liuhe National Geopark is the first national geopark in Nanjing. More than ten years ago, I learned about the magic of Shitiao Mountain in "National Geographic China", which we also call "French Strip Mountain". Now, the world's rare "Stone Pillar Forest" of Guizi Mountain has finally been discovered in Nanjing. After investigation and demonstration by geological experts and scholars from New Zealand, Australia and China, This is where the volcano erupted 9 to 10 million years ago. The basalt magma sprayed onto the ground, cooled, slowly shrank and cracked, forming "columnar joints" in different shapes, such as hexagonal and pentagonal. The arrangement is orderly and spectacular. Of course, all the volcanoes in Nanjing Liuhe area are extinct volcanoes. There is free parking in the scenic area. Tickets are 18 yuan, and annual park passes are available. If you are interested in Yuhua Stone, you can drive 20 minutes south to visit Liuhe Yuhua Stone Geological Park, where you can really pick up Yuhua Stone!

At the beginning of the 17th century, Lin Dan Khan succeeded to the throne and was eager to change the declining situation of the Mongol Khan's power, but he failed to use his political influence and wisdom as a legitimate member of the Golden Family to unite his fellow tribes against outsiders. Instead, he waged brutal wars of annexation against the various tribes of Eastern Mongolia, leading to fratricidal strife and bloodshed among his own people. During Lin Dan Khan's several suppressions, the powerful Khalkha tribe, originally under the jurisdiction of Tumen Khan, disintegrated, and the population owned by the Golden Family's Taiji was almost wiped out in the wars, with only the descendants of Genghis Khan's meritorious minister Zerem and the Uladha people's tribes preserved, whose leader Subudi replaced the Golden Family as the new lord of the Khalkha tribe. In 1635, Subudi and his brother Wandan Wei Zheng were conferred titles in the Khalkha Right Wing Banner, and soon after, Subudi's son Gulusiqibu inherited the title of Zasak of the Khalkha Right Wing Banner and was ennobled as a county king. Subudi's uncle Seleng was also ennobled as a Duke of the State in 1648, and his tribes were placed in the Khalkha Left Wing Banner. Wandan Wei Zheng, despite his outstanding achievements, did not become a Zasak of a banner until his death, perhaps to appease his son Erenchen, who was orphaned and dependent on others. The 'Imperially Commissioned Genealogy of Mongol and Hui Princes and Dukes' records: 'Shanggu Mountain Princess, granted as the consort of Shanggu Mountain', meaning that a princess of a royal prince, not of high status, was married to him. Historical records do not mention the origin and name of this princess, and in the grand Manchu-Mongol marriages of the early Qing Dynasty, this was an insignificant political marriage, but it is remembered to this day because of a peony. In the former residence of the consort's mansion, now in Xiaochengzi Town, Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, grows a peony that has been fragrant for more than 300 years, of the 'Rich Red' variety, which is said to have been bestowed by Emperor Kangxi as part of the princess's bridal dowry. Although there is no historical evidence to support Kangxi's bestowal of a dowry to a Shanggu Mountain Princess and it does not quite conform to the regulations, this peony was indeed brought into the palace by gardeners from Baipengyao Village, Huaxiang, Fengtai District, Beijing, who specialized in cultivating peonies for the royal family, and later planted beyond the Great Wall as part of the princess's dowry, blooming and falling for over 300 years. In 2021, Baipengyao Village welcomed back a branch of the 'bridal dowry peony' to its original home. Erenchen's descendants prospered, and by the time of his great-grandson Gele'er, the number of auxiliary leaders had accumulated to 38. The Qing court approved the establishment of the Khalkha Middle Banner in the territory belonging to Ningcheng County, and Gele'er was ennobled as a prince, becoming the first Zasak, a hereditary title that lasted for seven generations. By that time, Wandan Wei Zheng had been dead for 80 years. The consort's mansion was inherited by Gemupule, the seventh-generation descendant of Erenchen, who built a new mansion in Changgao Village in 1822 and transplanted the peony into the new residence for successive generations to nurture and worship. Today, the bridal peony has been propagated into three courtyards, with an average plant height of 1.5 meters and a covering diameter of 2 meters. The main stem of the original plant reaches 7 centimeters in diameter, still flourishing with lush branches and leaves, and a proper plant shape. The flowers are pink, with thousands of petals, and the diameter of the flowers is about 20 centimeters, with about 200 blooms each time. Every May, when the flowers bloom, they present an elegant posture, bright colors, and an intoxicating fragrance, making it the highest latitude woody peony in northern China.
