The underrated Bashang Grassland is at its peak! Check out this article for tons of ways to enjoy it!

Preface

There were no statutory holidays for three consecutive months, July, August, and September.
I could only look forward to the weekends. The impression of
"so close, so beautiful, go to Hebei for the weekend" has been deeply rooted in people's minds . Speaking of Hebei , I want to recommend a good place for workers to heal their bodies and minds: Bashang Grassland 👇🏻





After reading so many grassland recommendations,
I wonder which shade of green you're most drawn to?
If I were to choose the protagonist of a grassland "rebirth and counterattack" novel,
I think it would have to be this one!


@Previous Life

Once a fan base of emperors and generals,
but having fallen from grace due to the passage of time,
when will this "prairie's top star" finally return to the throne?
Let's read on!

Previous life: From the royal family to the pearl in the dust

🌟Imperial summer resort🌟A
fortress beyond the Great Wall🌟The
world's first and largest imperial hunting ground.
Since its inception as a part of Shanggu Commandery during the Qin Dynasty, the Bashang Grassland has been cherished by successive rulers. From being the northern border of Shanggu during the Western Han Dynasty, to being a Xianbei territory during the Eastern Han, Wei, and Jin Dynasties, to being a key defensive base during the Northern Wei Dynasty, each of these identities embodied its extraordinary status. During the Liao, Jin, Yuan, and Qing dynasties, it became a prime summer retreat for emperors.

Mongol Summer Capital@Jiangyue

Emperor Kangxi dedicated over 10,000 square meters of land here for his grand "Mulan Autumn Hunting" celebrations. Emperor Qianlong, during his northern tour, built a temporary palace in Rehe, promoting it as the Qing Dynasty's "second CBD." Empress Dowager Xiao's dressing room and the Yuan Dynasty's Chahan Nur Palace were both popular check-in spots.

As fate would have it, its former glory gradually faded into obscurity, and it gradually faded from the top of the list...As time goes by, how can the Bashang Grassland return to the vision of modern urbanites?

The King Returns to the Bashang Grassland

🌟3-hour drive from Beijing🌟Average
summer temperature 21°C
🌟Create stunning photos with zero technical skills🌟20
+ activities/games
The gears of fate turn once again, and the Bashang Grasslands return with four incredible "fate-changing" secrets! Once a "royal forbidden land," it can now be your home turf for a "weekend trip to Hebei"!

With the traffic buff fully stacked, it is no longer a dream to leave at any time

As the premier grassland north of Beijing, this area forms the transition zone between the North China Plain and the Inner Mongolia Plateau, offering the most accessible expanse of greenery from the Central Plains.
A 3-4-hour drive along the Beijing-Chengde Expressway takes you beyond the city walls. Without the hassle of traveling to Hulunbuir or Xinjiang, we can experience hilly grasslands and European-style scenery within a short trip's time and budget—a photo opportunity guaranteed to be a hit on social media! This convenience offers incredible value for money!


A cool summer escape from the city heat

Amidst the stifling heat of the south and the scorching sun of the north, this place offers a refreshing escape! With an average summer temperature of 21°C, you can bid farewell to the oppressive heat and humidity, making this a perfect escape for both summer vacation and ultimate comfort!


@Previous Life

Here, you can run freely, have fun, lie on the soft grass, watch the clouds roll by, and have a "grassland lying competition" with your friends.

@Little Lazy

N kinds of superb ways to play, the fun can't stop

There are so many different ways to play here! It's a real treat compared to other grasslands! 🤭
Horseback riding across the grasslands, check in at private campsites, experience exciting off-roading, and when night falls, there's a bonfire party, so you can have fun from day to night!


Bonfire Carnival @ Leyi

Immerse yourself in the customs of Manchuria and Mongolia, enjoy a drink after dismounting, observe nomadic migration, watch ethnic song and dance performances, and travel to the grasslands beyond the Great Wall in a second!


Dismounting wine

Folk Song and Dance@Dandan

Stay in a yurt, make dairy products by yourself, hug alpacas, feed sika deer, and change into Mongolian clothes to put on your "new grassland skin"!


@Wealthy

The ceiling of beauty, blockbuster in all seasons

This place is considered one of the "worst places to judge photography skills." You don't need advanced photography skills; a casual shot will be a National Geographic cover—the sunrise over the grasslands in the early morning, golden light filling the earth; the sunset glow in the evening, the cattle, sheep, and yurts complement each other beautifully. Every moment is worth capturing with your camera.

@韩凯

@fly

In summer, acres of green grass grow wildly, their waves swirling against the blue sky and white clouds, creating a scene reminiscent of The Wizard of Oz! In autumn, birch forests transform into golden hues, and any photo is sure to saturate your social media feed. Spring is short, and winter's snow and ice are also worth a visit!


@Wish Heaven and Earth

Besides the hard-core trump cards, are there any new discoveries?

In addition to the four hard-core trump cards, it also has internet celebrity attributes!

Milk Lake

Inner Mongolia is full of cattle and sheep, and even the lake water is milky white.
The local cultural tourism is also very hardworking, and they directly hid a milk can underground.

🥛This milky-white lake, Milk Lake, located in Xilin Gol League, is formed by calcium carbonate mineral particles suspended in the lakebed, forming a colloid that scatters sunlight and gives it a milky white appearance. June to August is when rainfall is most frequent and winds are strongest, giving it the strongest milky texture!
❗A note: The lake water is not drinkable! The liquid in the tap comes from underground milk tanks, and it's fun to watch while you drink!


@Previous Life

Daqingshan

Our Inner Mongolia region also has a Great Rift Valley! This "great crack" north of Beijing is a truly hidden gem for hiking near the city. Like the Great Rift Valley of East Africa, its deep ravines resemble scars on the earth, making it truly breathtaking and breathtaking to visit in person! It's also renowned for its unique Quaternary glacial remains!

There are streams, meadows, clouds, cattle and sheep, and in addition, there are beautiful mountains stretching into the distance ~ (I suddenly want to sing a song by Phoenix Legend)

Zhenglan Banner Hongtu Nur

🦢There's also a secret spot called Zhenglan Banner Hongtu Nur, which means "Swan Lake" in Mongolian. The pristine lake is dotted with flocks of swans. Every spring, a large number of migratory birds arrive here, a perfect blend of nature and vitality! Go in the summer and you'll be rewarded with blue skies, clear waters, and large lawns!
