❤️Hi, I'm Bao Gongzi, discovering urban hidden gems
🌿Put on a Mongolian robe and become a child of the grasslands for a day
🌿At Wulagai Grassland, I surprisingly found a resort like a paradise
🌿Here, you're immersed in border pastures, rivers, and lakes near Mongolia
🌿Stay in yurts, wear Mongolian robes, ride horses, shoot arrows, watch performances, etc.
🌿Also tasted authentic Mongolian herder cuisine
🌿This trip to Inner Mongolia finally let me experience the life of a horseback herder

📍Location: Ulanhad Grassland Resort
.
🚙Address: 20 meters north of the Ulanhad Gacha Party-Mass Service Center, County Road 502, Wulagai Management Area, Dongwu Banner
.
🏡【Accommodation】
I stayed in a yurt at the resort with a private bathroom. I visited in July during summer, but nights on the grassland are cold - thankfully each room has electric blankets. There are also panoramic luxury space capsules available (which I didn't choose).
⚠️Dawn comes early here - remember to bring an eye mask
.
✅Travel tips
1⃣️I arrived in the afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by the ceremonial welcome - high-standard horse dismounting liquor, hada scarf presentation, and mounted welcoming team
⚠️Best to ask about the exact time for the welcome ceremony
.
2⃣️I wore Mongolian robes for photos. The resort offers many free Mongolian costumes to choose from (no deposit required, operating on trust!).
💰Rental: 50 yuan. More elaborate costumes are in the rental section (paid options are definitely more beautiful)
.
3⃣️Watched professional equestrian performances by jockeys
⏰Time: One show at 3pm daily
.
4⃣️Experienced the paid off-road vehicle adventure deep into uninhabited pastoral areas - the "Grassland at Sky's Edge" is breathtaking with flower-filled mountains and many marmots
.
5⃣️Many free activities: Herder family visits, riding lele carts, seeing sika deer, holding lambs for photos, milking cows, DIY kite flying, archery, tug-of-war, grassland golf, etc.
.
6⃣️Horse riding
💰100 yuan for 2km. Recommend the 300 yuan option that takes you up distant slopes with panoramic views of the resort and mountain scenery
.
7⃣️At night, joined the lively Mongolian music bonfire party (must-attend!) - singing and dancing with Mongolian performers while enjoying morin khuur, throat singing, long songs, and folk performances
.
8⃣️Bought many local products (priced similarly to supermarkets). The air-dried beef made by herders is incredibly fragrant and authentic (though unavailable for mailing)
.
9⃣️About 200m from the yurts is a pasture with many fine horses, camels, cattle and sheep
.
🔟Restaurant available for à la carte dining
.
1⃣️1⃣️The dairy farm and lamb-holding photo spots are very photogenic
