You must go to Ulanqab this summer. It is the closest place to Mars on Earth. It has endless grasslands and the summer in Hayao Miyazaki's comics; there are volcanoes, fireworks dinners, a starry sky, and "Martians" in space suits.
When you walk into the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, you will sigh that if freedom has a shape, it must be the shape of the Ulanqab grasslands; you can always believe that Inner Mongolia from June to August can cure all your unhappiness!
💚【Two days and one night trip】
1. Route for the first day:
Depart from Beijing at 7 am and arrive at Ulan Hada Volcano at 12 noon. The whole journey is 420km and the driving time is 5 hours.
2. Tour order of Ulan Hada Volcano Geological Park
👉Volcano No. 3
The only volcano with a plank road. It is easier to climb to the top of the mountain. There is a black volcanic stone cliff at the foot of the volcano. There is a popular red telephone booth for taking photos.
👉Volcano No. 5
It is more difficult to climb. It is the most complete because it is undeveloped. If you have a drone, you must take this! The view from the top of the mountain is nice and you can see the tiankeng. You can see it from a distance
👉Volcano No. 6
Volcano No. 6 has been mined. You can take pictures of the complete Volcano No. 5 here. It is all black volcanic rocks, and it feels like an alien. This is the best place to take photos of the flight suits (you can bargain for renting flight suits)
👉There is a road between Volcano No. 5 and Volcano No. 6. When you pay attention to safety and there are no cars passing by, you can stop and sit on the road to take a few photos. It is very photogenic. There are cows and sheep next to it, which is very suitable for the scene!
👉Evening before sunset: The most beautiful western line of Ulan Hada Volcano (few people know about it, found on the way to our campsite)
💚How to get here:
You can search for "Xingyu Volcano Campsite", which is about 20 minutes away from Volcano No. 6 by car. After driving about two-thirds of the way, you will see a small pond. If you have enough time and don't want to camp on the volcano, you can still drive to this location to enjoy the scenery.
We stayed at "Xingyuhuoxingluxuandi" (the campsite has hot pot and barbecue). There will be fireworks and bonfires at night. The sunset and sunrise at the campsite were a big surprise for us on this trip. It was really beautiful!
💚Route for the second day
①Watching the sunrise at the campsite: Don’t miss the sunrise here, it’s a big surprise of this trip and very unforgettable. The volcano is just east of the camp.
②After breakfast, we will set off at g:00 to [Huitengxile Grassland Huanghuagou Scenic Area], which is 100 kilometers away from Ulan Hada Volcano and is known as the "South of the Yangtze River outside the Great Wall". , use the navigation system to the south gate of the scenic area
💚 Tour sequence:
1. Enter the main gate and walk 10 minutes on the left, then take the grassland train
2. Take cable car No. 1 to the bottom of the ditch, take a shuttle bus, and then an animal-powered vehicle
3. Walk to cable car No. 2 (reaching the north gate of the scenic area) or cable car No. 3 (reaching the south gate of the scenic area) The tour time of the scenic area is about 4 hours
