Day 1: All over the country → Chifeng → Bronke Desert → Hot Springs (Welcome wine after dismounting - Desert hiking - Enjoy hot springs)
·morning
At 10:00 am, we will gather at the South Square of Chifeng Museum and take a bus to Wudan, the "Purple City", to start a hiking tour to explore the Hongshan Culture.
Chifeng, a city known as the "Pearl of the Grasslands" and the "Hometown of Jade Dragons," is named "Hongshan" for the ochre-red peaks northeast of the city. Chifeng, also known as "Ulan Hada" in Mongolian, lies at the junction of Northeast China and North China, boasting a prime location and convenient transportation. It serves as a key hub in the Capital Economic Circle and the Bohai Rim Economic Circle, and is the closest city in Inner Mongolia to the sea. Home to numerous protected cultural relics, it is also known as the "Hometown of Jade Dragons" due to the discovery of the "national treasure" of the Hongshan Culture, the jade dragon. Upon arrival in Wudan, we were welcomed by Mongolian women and men in their splendid attire, enjoying a dismounting wine ceremony. We then savored local specialties for lunch, immersing ourselves in the warmth of the local people.
·afternoon
After lunch, we'll depart by car for the entrance to the Wengniut Desert. Arriving at the desert's edge, we'll receive a brief safety briefing and a gear check (we recommend bringing sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, plenty of water, and energy snacks). We'll begin our hike, choosing a dune-spanning route suitable for beginners, admiring the desert scenery and unique sand vegetation along the way. We'll ascend a high dune for a short break and photo opportunities, immersing ourselves in the vastness and tranquility of the desert. Deep within the desert, we'll explore oases, wind-eroded rock formations, and other unique landforms on foot. Along the way, we'll also have the opportunity to experience the "ship of the desert," a camel ride, and a UTV off-roading adventure (at your own expense).
Afterwards, we will be driven to Reshui Hotel. After checking in, you will have free time to explore the grasslands and take care of your own dinner.
·night
After dinner, you can go strolling around the town with your friends to experience the local customs and culture. If you don’t want to go out, you can enjoy the hot springs in the hotel.
Day 2 Reshuitang → Daqingshan → Qingshan Glacier → Chifeng Disbanding Day
·morning
After breakfast, we'll depart for Daqingshan. Located in Keshiketeng Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, lies a fairyland-like region—Daqingshan. When the spring breeze gently sweeps across, the area transforms into a hiking enthusiast's paradise. Let's embark on this magical land and embark on an unforgettable Daqingshan hiking trip. Upon arrival, we'll gather our gear and begin our hike. As we ascend the winding path, the view opens up to vast meadows. In the distance, herds of cattle and sheep graze leisurely, creating a tranquil and peaceful pastoral scene. Enjoy a lunch at a designated location.
·afternoon
After lunch, we continued our walk through a sparse forest and meadow dotted with unusual rocks. The rocks here were shaped in various ways, some resembling turtles, others elephants, and even mushrooms, a marvel at nature's uncanny craftsmanship. In the sunlight, the rocks shimmered with a unique radiance, as if imbued with life. Standing beside the rocks, we gazed down at the vast landscape. The rolling hills in the distance contrasted beautifully with the blue sky and white clouds, creating a breathtaking scene. We returned around 3:00 PM, arriving at Chifeng High-Speed Railway Station around 6:30 PM. The event concluded successfully, and everyone bid a tearful farewell.
