Autumn in Yellow Flower Gully

I drove here during the National Day holiday and arrived in Ulanqab. This place is definitely not like what other netizens say, that one or two hours of play is enough, and that besides the popular small train, there's nothing else to play. This shows that these netizens have missed the real beauty of Yellow Flower Gully. Because the parking lot was not big enough during the National Day, we were directed from the south gate of the main entrance to the north service area to enter the scenic area. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Because entering from the north gate directly leads to the most beautiful natural scenery of Yellow Flower Gully (Figure ①②). Don't go directly to the No. 1 cable car here, you can't see the beautiful scenery in the gully and you have to queue for a long time. There are signs directing tourists with package tickets to walk down the mountain along the right-hand walking route, and my parents in their seventies easily completed the walk. The gully is rich in color and has unique landforms in autumn, which are very beautiful. After leaving Yellow Flower Gully and going down to Niu Dan Gully is the shuttle section included in the package ticket, where you can watch horse riding performances. There is a section of original birch forest in the middle where you can choose to walk instead of taking a car, which is very beautiful. The small train is at the end. I just happened to catch the sunset when I was on the small train. Everything was perfect. Tips: 1. Route🚗: Be sure to enter from the north gate. If you enter from the main gate, it's completely in the opposite direction. First, take the small train. When you reach the most beautiful hiking trail in Yellow Flower Gully, it's all uphill. Most people give up and as a result, they miss the most beautiful scenery. 2. Food and accommodation🥩: I stayed in a Mongolian yurt near the north service area and had a hearty meal of roast lamb leg and hand-held meat. There was a bonfire party in the evening, and setting off fireworks was more exciting for Beijing kids than the New Year. I brought a headlamp at night and walked into the grassland to pick up volcanic rocks and watch the stars. The horse team at the door was waiting in the morning, 80 yuan for half an hour, take a round to experience it, quite good.

This season, the weather in Inner Mongolia is getting colder, and the reason for the Huanghuagou terrain makes this generation wind particularly large. Therefore, just entering the outskirts of the scenic spot, you will see hundreds of windmills erected here, as if guarding the giants here. Under the windmill is the shepherd and his flock, and also found a ram that looks the same as my tattoo. Unfortunately, due to seasonal reasons, Huanghuagou was closed after eleventh. It will be reopened in April next year. However, in the scenic spot of no one, there is a kind of loneliness and vicissitudes, which sets off the desolateness of the desert grassland. On the way back, I was blocked by the horses. Quietly waiting for the horse to pass, on the grassland, nothing is unhurried.

From the urban area of Wulanchabu to the northwest of Chahar right wing, 70 kilometers by car, you can reach the most beautiful Huitengxile grassland in the region. The Huanghuagou scenic spot that is most suitable for this season is also there. The blue sky is full of white clouds, the horses running under the clouds, after a year, I met you again.
