September is a month of autumn, with clear skies and a light sky. I ride a horse to visit the Khan's palace.
Guys, as soon as the September wind blows, I know that a good time to have fun at the Great Khan Palace Tourist Area in the Bashang Grassland is here again! We have compiled a super complete guide, take note of it 👇
📍Scenic Area Address: The first grassland in northern Beijing, Datan Town, Fengning Manchu Autonomous County, Chengde City, Hebei Province.
🎫 Ticket information: Palace area tickets 90 yuan / person, entertainment area package 190 yuan / person. Children under 1.2 meters are free, remember to bring your ID~ Buy tickets online in advance, you might even get a small discount!
🌟Must-play items:
- Palace Area Across Time and Space: Once inside the scenic area, the grand palace gates pull you back to the days of Genghis Khan. Walking along the central axis, the Changshengtian Archway, the Golden Tent for Proceedings, the Aobao, and the Temple of Sacrifice are all filled with the richness of history. On both sides of the palace wall, one side is the development history of the Yuan Dynasty, and the other side is the Mongolian barracks. As we walk, we learn about the wisdom and pride of the Mongolian nation.
- Prairie galloping: How can you not ride a horse when you come to the prairie! Choose a docile pony and slowly feel the vastness of the prairie under the leadership of a horseman. If you are brave, you can even trot up and experience the "speed and passion".
- Archery Challenge: Bend your bow and take an arrow, and feel the majesty of the ancient steppe warriors. The scenic spot has professional instructor guidance, so novices can get started quickly, maybe even discover their archery talents.
- Wetland strolls for oxygen: The 1 million square meter Prairie Wetland Park is simply a natural big oxygen bar. Take a walk along the wooden canyon, take in the wetland scenery and see all kinds of cute little animals.
🍱 Food recommendations:
- Roasted whole lamb: a must-eat when visiting the Great Khan Palace! The crust is toasted until golden and crispy, the meat inside is tender and juicy, a bite is super satisfying, if there are many people, you must order one.
- Hand-steaked meat: The original prairie delicacy, the lamb cooked in clear water, retains the most original taste of the lamb, dipped in leek flower sauce, fragrant to dizzy.
- Milk tea: rich milk tea must be drunk, both can relieve thirst and warm the stomach, paired with milk skin, fried rice, full of prairie flavor.
🏠 Accommodation Suggestions:
- Mongolian Hotel: Highly recommended! Sleeping in a yurt, listening to the wind outside, felt like a real prairie man. At night you can also see the super beautiful starry sky, which is extremely romantic.
