Matianling, located in Wei County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, is an undeveloped area known for its beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. It's nicknamed the "Little Tianshan Mountains," "Shangri-La of Western Beijing," and "the Forbidden Grassland in the Sky." Renowned for its unique natural scenery and pristine environment, it's a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. The summit, at an altitude of 2,122 meters, is a subalpine meadow with vast meadows and extensive pine forests. With the development of wind power, numerous large windmills have been erected on the mountain, creating a unique scenic feature. The alpine meadows here cover up to 3,000 hectares, making them a popular destination for hiking and photography. In summer, the area is covered in lush green grass and a profusion of wildflowers, making it a perfect escape from the summer heat. In autumn, the forests burst with vibrant colors, creating a vibrant photography paradise. In winter, Matianling, blanketed in snow, offers a unique and captivating sight.
