Day 1⃣️: Immersive Grassland Scenery
📍Daqingshan (Balin Right Banner, Chifeng City)
A little-known secret spot in Inner Mongolia! No crowded tourists here, only rolling grasslands and layers of lush green mountains. Recommended to set off early morning when the light is soft for amazing photos📸 Hike along herders' trails, encounter herds of cattle and sheep, and feel the most original grassland atmosphere. Remember to bring a windbreaker and plenty of drinking water~
🌇 Evening check-in: Balin Hotel, Balin Right Banner
▪️Address: West section of Suoboliga Street, Daban Town (opposite government building)
▪️Highlights: Huge free parking lot + charging stations, perfect for self-driving! The lobby shaped like a Mongolian yurt is stunning at first sight, and the staff dressed in ethnic costumes greet you in Mongolian, instantly transporting you! Be sure to try the freshly brewed salty milk tea and the scallion lamb soup so delicious you'll drink three bowls😋 Family rooms cost just over 100 RMB per person, and the bathroom even has a heated towel rack!
Day 2⃣️: Cultural Experience Day
🏛️10-minute walk to Balin Right Banner Museum (free!)
See vivid recreations of Mongolian life scenes, and be sure to find a guide to hear grassland stories from the time of Genghis Khan. Next door, the intangible cultural heritage exhibition hall lets you try Mongolian embroidery and make a small sachet as a souvenir~
⚠️Useful tips:
1. Daqingshan has no commercial facilities, bring your own snacks
2. Hotel breakfast 7:00-9:00, must-try freshly fried Mongolian pastries
3. Summer evenings cool down quickly, a light down jacket is more practical than sun protection clothing
4. Saying "Baiyin Hushao" (thank you in Mongolian) to the staff may bring surprise service
🚗 Transportation:
From Beijing/Shenyang, self-driving is recommended (about 6h all highway), or take the high-speed train to Chifeng Station and then rent a car (1.5h to reach). The hotel parking lot can accommodate 40+ cars, no need to compete for spots!
