5 hours from Beijing to find the most beautiful autumn scenery in Ulan Butong

The first trip of autumn🍂, of course, must be to Ulan Butong!
‼️The most beautiful autumn colors recommended by National Geographic are the autumn of my dreams. One visit is never enough. Rolls of haystacks, colorful leaves, clear lakes, leisurely cattle and sheep, as far as the eye can see is golden yellow, every frame feels like a blockbuster.
