First time to experience RV, it was great!! The scenery was beautiful, the facilities were good, the service attitude was great, the stay was very comfortable, and it was a very unforgettable experience and memory. Feeding lambs, archery, catching up with a company's team building, having a bonfire party together, watching the sunset and sunrise... all were very wonderful. Also, the barbecue was delicious.

The ranch is located at the foot of Dayin Mountain. It is very large, with endless lush grass and beautiful natural scenery. It was mid-autumn when we went there. Because it is far away from the city, there are not many tourists and it is very quiet.

A fierce anti-Japanese battle once took place here, which completely drove the Japanese devils out of Bailingmiao, the hot land of the children of the grassland.

It was alright. I dreamt about it, it was really amazing. When I got there, it was exactly the same as in my dream! Many things like this happen! Everything corresponds perfectly.
I really like Shanxi! I went to Wutai Mountain before and didn't even realize I was in Shanxi, haha. Amazing! Then I went to Taiyuan, and still didn't know I was in Shanxi. This time, after going to Datong, I finally remembered it was Shanxi.

"The most unforgettable stop in Hohhot is Dazhao Temple. The saying 'First came Dazhao, then came Qingcheng' is not just for show. As soon as you enter the mountain gate, the red walls and golden roofs, the copper bells on the eaves, and the faint scent of Tibetan incense immediately calm you down from the hustle and bustle of the old city."
