    "On the 71st day of the poor tour of China, Zhangjiakou Zhangbei Bashang Grassland Tianlu is at the junction of Zhangbei County and Chongli District, Zhangjiakou. There is a asphalt road of more than 100 kilometers. With the mountain slopes, it is undulating in the mountains. The landscape on both sides of the road is beautiful, rivers and mountains, meadow terraces, Like a hundred miles picture! The blue sky is connected to it, and the white clouds echo it, like walking on the sky road! The most suitable season for the dam grassland is from the end of June to the end of September. The air on the grassland is pure, the pollution is very small, and the summer is very cool. Today, I was lucky. It was raining intermittently on the dam. The sky was always dark and cloudy. Occasionally, the sun poured down through the clouds, and it was also a special taste. I still feel cool when I wear a long sleeve, and I am worthy of being a summer resort."

    "New Year's Day, take a yuan egg on the top of the mountain. 9 high-end roads are slippery enough, recommend dandelion and wild roses, long snow roads. There are few people on the cable car, and it is just right to get on the cable car from the wild rose. All facilities are good, that is, the food is worse."

    "The Dajingmen attractions are worth visiting. Although the range of attractions can be visited is not very large, the history is there. It is worth understanding. The ticket fee for the attractions is not high. It takes about 15 minutes to climb the Great Wall. There is a pedestrian street behind that does not require tickets."

    "Iron flower is very good, it is to go early, the other is that there are a lot of people, super cold, you have to stand behind when you go late, the perspective is not good, you need to sit in the front row, you can't see clearly behind, and the other is not good outside the iron water."

    Highlights: Originally built during the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368), Nuanquan Ancient Town holds many ancient-style structures that are perfect for photographing. Compared to certain other ancient towns that have become popular via the Internet, Nuanquan appears simpler and more tranquil, and many locals reside within the town. The town is not particularly large but has an ancient west wall (an ancient gate tower) and several large courtyard complexes open to visitors. The “Make Treeflower Fungus” show is a famous event here. The show is a unique traditional festival light show with over 300 years of history. It involves villagers heating iron to 1500˚°C to become molten iron and then splashing it against the city wall to create a majestic scene of “fire trees and silver flowers” that is truly stunning.

    "Great experience, first of all, the location is best to set the "Kurungair Ski Resort Visitor Service Center", otherwise it will run to the parking lot; Then the staff at the tourist service center is very sincere, it is recommended that we first ask for free tickets to enter the venue, see the size and status of each amusement facility, and then choose to buy on the spot, or Trip.com. Because our children are already high school, so for those ice activities are not interested, but I personally think that if the children are below primary school, the ice activities here are quite cost-effective, the same activities in the Summer Palace, the single item exceeds its entire activity. We choose ice fishing, it is recommended to bring more snacks, if you really want to catch fish, it is best to bring some bait yourself, otherwise, they provide really not enough. Two hours of ice fishing, you can let the whole family nest together to chat and gather, it is quite recommended, especially for us southerners, it is a major achievement in unlocking life."
