5-Day Family Trip to Arxan! Stay at Caoyuan Suji and Explore All the Highlights Without Any Disappointments

Who understands! Taking the kids to Arxan to stay at Caoyuan Suji, still savoring the memories after coming back‼️
📍Arxan is really perfect for traveling with kids! Less crowded than Hulunbuir, quieter than Xilingol, and the grasslands from June to August are full of beautiful scenery—blue skies, white clouds☁️, rivers, hills, and forests. Every shot is a perfect family photo🖼️. Xiao Ye was happily jumping around the whole time~

This time we specially arranged a 5⃣️-day itinerary to cover all the must-see spots in Arxan and stayed at the amazing luxury wilderness scenic hotel [Caoyuan Suji], immersing ourselves in the romance of the grasslands. The family time was unforgettable~

🏨 Recommended High-End Luxury Wilderness Hotel:
📍Caoyuan Suji’s location is incredible! It’s by the river valley of the Ulan Maodu Hangai Grassland, perfect for watching sunsets🌇 and the Milky Way🌌. There are five accommodations inside: Caoyuan River Valley Hotel, natrail・Jidi, Da Le Zhi Ye, Nanan Homestay, and Fei Niao Ji Homestay. We stayed at Caoyuan River Valley Hotel, the same as featured on "Set Off Now"! With a 270° view of the river valley, the Ulan River at sunset is stunning, and the Milky Way at night is breathtaking. Watching stars with kids is super healing~
