Grassland Castle | 3-Day 2-Night Heavenly Bayinbuluk Itinerary

When the heatwave across the country soared above 40℃🔥, I stepped on the accelerator and raced toward the Tianshan Mountains, diving into Bayinbuluk at 2,400 meters above sea level—this "natural air-conditioned room" with just 20℃ in midsummer🌿! Over three days and two nights, at the racing location from the movie "Pegasus"🎥, I unlocked VIP self-drive privileges🚙 + golden sunset over the Nine Bends🌅 + swan lake ballet🦢… Just copy this guide!
