Day 1: All over the country → Chifeng → Daqingshan → Reshui
·morning
Departure time: 10:00 (you can arrive 1 hour in advance to visit Chifeng City Museum)
Gather at the South Square of Chifeng City Museum and take a bus to Wudan, the "Purple City", to start a hiking tour to explore the Hongshan Culture.
We gather in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, a city known as the "Jade Dragon Hometown," a pearl of the grasslands. Chifeng's name, meaning "Red Mountain," derives from the ochre-red peaks northeast of the city. "Ulan Hada" ("Ulan Hada" in Mongolian) is located at the junction of Northeast China and North China, boasting a superior location and convenient transportation. It is a key node in both the Capital Economic Circle and the Bohai Rim Economic Circle. Due to the discovery of the jasper dragon, a national treasure of the Hongshan Culture, it is also known as the "Jade Dragon Hometown."
Drive to Daqingshan. Lunch is at your own expense. Upon arrival, your guide will lead a hike. Located in Keshiketeng Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, lies a fairyland: Daqingshan. When the glaciers' chiseled blades meet the autumn breeze, a vibrant revolt unfolds at the 1,574-meter summit! Pine needles remain green, birch leaves bloom, and within the silent indentations of the mortars lie the earth's love letter to autumn.
As we continued along the winding path, the view opened up to a vast meadow as we gradually gained altitude. In the distance, herds of cattle and sheep were grazing leisurely, creating a tranquil and peaceful autumn pastoral scene.
Then drive to Reshui Hotel to check in and arrange dinner at your own expense.
Day 2 Reshui → Re'a Line → Dada Line → Chifeng
All day
Gather at 8:00 and depart for the Re'a Line, which is the soul landscape belt of Keshiketeng Banner, Inner Mongolia. Check in the popular Heihei Village, a village surrounded by a large mountain. On the Re'a Line, you can see birch forests, meadows, and the Huanggangliang Observation Deck overlooking the stunning scenery.
Afterwards, we headed to the Dada Line—entering the picturesque landscape. The road is long and gentle, and the scenery along both sides is breathtaking. Driving along it felt like floating on a golden ocean, leaving us feeling open-minded and cheerful, and our thoughts tranquil and warm.
This trip covers the entire Re-A line and the Da-Da line from Ashatu Stone Forest to Gongger Expressway Exit.
Then take the bus back to Chifeng, ending the pleasant journey!
