The beauty of the grasslands is too stunning
The beauty of the grasslands is too stunning.
I had long heard of the great reputation of Zhangbei Grassland, but being too close, I never managed to visit until this year when I finally scheduled it.
In mid-August, I chose a weekend, and it took about three to four hours to drive from downtown Beijing to the Grassland Sky Road homestay. The tunnels along the way slowed us down.
I must say, the homestay (p7) we picked this time was amazing, with a great location, beautiful scenery, excellent service, clean rooms, and delicious food. Aside from the common issue of poor soundproofing in homestays and a rather simple breakfast, everything else was perfect, offering great value for money. Moreover, the nights in the mountains are especially quiet with no light pollution, and I felt sleepy early, waking up naturally after an early night's sleep every day.
The homestay owner is very knowledgeable about nearby attractions and advised us on which routes to avoid on rainy and foggy days and where to go to see the sunset, ensuring we didn't hit any snags and had pleasant surprises throughout.
The first day was rainy and foggy, and the owner suggested not going to the old Sky Road but to the new Sky Road (which is the eastern line of the Grassland Sky Road according to the map) (p2-5). The Grassland Sky Road on a rainy and foggy day has its own unique charm. Plus, this route is completely uncommercialized; all you see are mountains, clouds, windmills, and cattle and sheep.
The biggest surprise was the clear skies after the rain on the first night, when I saw a complete rainbow from my homestay room, a first in my life.
The next day was sunny, and I went to the old Sky Road (which is the middle line of the Grassland Sky Road according to the map) (p8-11), where every second was like a painting. However, the old Sky Road is more commercialized, with more cars and people. By comparison, I prefer the new Sky Road.

What to wear for the National Day holiday in Bashang?!!
What's the temperature like on the Bashang Prairie in autumn? What kind of clothes do you need to wear? After entering autumn, the temperature in Bashang gradually cools down, and everything in Bashang gradually turns yellow. Looking around, it's a million acres of man-made forest sea, which is turning from green to golden, as if you've come to a fairy-tale world. On the prairie, the temperature difference between morning and evening is quite large, about 15 degrees during the day and 5 to 6 degrees at night. Everyone must keep warm when they come to the prairie. It is recommended to prepare down jackets and storm jackets. Little fairies also need to prepare for wind and sun protection. The beautiful Bashang Prairie welcomes you.

For a long time in the city, the noisy environment, the pungent air, and the busy rhythm will always make the fragile nerves that have been strained by the huge work pressure more overwhelmed. Occasionally, the short-selling should be the basic spiritual needs of every urbanite. Even if it is described by physiological needs, I think it is not too much. In particular, Beijing residents who are plagued by smog are hard to see a blue sky even in the suburbs of Beijing. Only when they enter the grassland in the north can they smell the long-lost freshness and relaxation.
Da-image.
After the month of November, the grassland on the dam is so high, the grass is like the clouds, the sheep are like clouds, the horses are rushing, the peaks of the dam are like clusters, and the waters are clear; the forests in the dam area are dense, large tracts of birch forest, thick jade muscles, Between the layers of the branches and leaves, the shadow of the spots is leaked. The beautiful lightning river surrounds the jade belt and flows quietly through your side. All these photographers are looking at the beauty in their hearts! The herd, the horses, the flocks and the flocks, the rough songs of the herdsmen and the crisp long whip, combined with the sound of the birds, add to the infinite vitality of the simple grassland. Beigou, Donggou, Princess Lake, Mulan Paddock, Chifeng, Wulanbutong! Everywhere, there is nothing but a great scenery! I once thought of myself as a fairy monk in this vast world of carefree horses running around! This is the life I yearn for!
