I just came back from Guanshan Grassland with my baby❗️I worked hard to compile this nanny-level strategy, tested the network's exclusive hidden gameplay + lightning avoidance guide, save this article to help you avoid 90% of detours👇
——————
🚗【Traffic test】
✅ Must-see for self-driving tours: 3 hours from Xi'an (navigation "Guanshan Grassland Visitor Center"), there are many winding mountain roads but the scenery is beautiful. It is recommended to depart at 7 am to avoid peak hours
⚠️Non-self-driving plan: Xi'an West Bus Station → Longxian → Scenic Area Direct Bus (two buses per day at 10:00/14:00)
💡Tips: The entrance fee to the scenic spot is 60 yuan (you can save 5 yuan if you buy it in advance on Ctrip), and you need to pay 30 yuan for parking if you drive
🏠【Accommodation Red and Black List】
🔥Highly recommend the yurt in the core area of the grassland
✔️Overnight stay in a yurt: 80 yuan per person per night, you can see the Milky Way when you open the door, and the morning fog at 4 am is amazing!
❌Farmhouses outside the lightning protection area: poor sanitary conditions and far from scenic spots
💎High-end option: RV campsite 680 yuan/night with free breakfast for two, with independent stargazing platform

📸【Must-play experience review】
1️⃣ Horseback riding on the grassland 🏇
👉Official racecourse 60 yuan/round (about 20 minutes), negotiable! Our group purchase price for 3 people is 150 yuan
⚠️Tips to avoid: Wear long pants! Beginners should choose a docile mare, and children aged 5+ can ride independently
2️⃣ Check-in at the popular photo spot
📍Windmill Valley: Free! Take photos with the look of Hayao Miyazaki's comics before 10 a.m.
📍Red Birch Forest: The light and shadow are best in the afternoon, and wearing a white dress is more beautiful than in the movie
💥Hidden camera position: The hillside behind the racecourse, contracting the entire uninhabited grassland
3️⃣Special food test
🍖Roasted whole lamb feast: recommended for 8 people or more (1280 yuan/piece), crispy skin and tender meat!
🌽Must-eat snacks: Buckwheat noodles 8 yuan/bowl, butter bun 2 yuan/piece, super fragrant

⚠️【Blood and tears lesson】
❗️Must-bring items: sunscreen + sunglasses (ultraviolet rays are very strong), thin down jacket (temperature difference between day and night is 20℃), mosquito repellent
❗️Be careful when it rains! The grass is muddy and the project is shut down
❗️Book a room 2 weeks in advance for the weekend! It is hard to find a room during the peak season from July to August
