The sunset is beautiful, the alpine grassland is stunning, the scenic area is very convenient to drive by, the ticket is still a bit expensive, the scenery is still better in summer. Navigate to Tianci Grassland and drive all the way up. When you see the sign of Sky Grassland, go a little higher and you can watch the sunset. Remember to bring a down jacket
When Master Zhang contacted us one day in advance, he would tell us what you wanted to know. Thanks to Master Zhang's foresight, we successfully avoided the traffic jam. After the trip, the local food recommended by Master Zhang was also very good. Chartering a car really gives you a lot of freedom.

Yanmen Pass is an important pass on the Great Wall, renowned for its strategic importance and hailed as "China's First Pass." The Tianxian Gate is the south gate of the pass, with its original Ming Dynasty bluestone slabs inside. The Dili Gate is the north gate, originally housing the Ningbian Tower, now the Yang Liulang Ancestral Hall, showcasing the evolution of ancient cold weapons. Within the pass are also historical sites such as the Li Mu Ancestral Hall and Jingbian Temple.
Our visit to Yanmenguan was an absolute highlight. This section of the Great Wall truly amazed us with its raw, majestic beauty and profound sense of history. We were incredibly lucky to experience it under a brilliant blue sky and with comfortable, crisp autumn weather. The climb itself is manageable thanks to proper trails, making the journey as rewarding as the destination. The final panoramic view from the top is simply magnificent, offering a breathtaking glimpse into China's incredible past. An unforgettable experience for any traveler.

Having a cable car makes things easier, but climbing to the top is still quite challenging. I had to rest several times, but reaching the top was still very rewarding, and the scenery was beautiful. The only downside was that one side was under construction, so there was a lot of dust at times.
Architectural Wonder: A Millennium-Standing "Castle in the Sky"
Upon first sight of the Hanging Temple, one is struck by its breathtaking spectacle: "Reaching the heavens above, silencing the clamor below." The entire vermilion complex is nestled into a 58-meter-high cliff, supported by just a few dozen wooden pillars. From a distance, it resembles an exquisite relief, while up close, its soaring eaves and angled corners, connected by plank roads, are a visual feast. Even more remarkable is its resilience, withstanding over 1,500 years of wind and rain. Originally constructed during the Northern Wei Dynasty, the wooden structure remains unshaken despite numerous earthquakes. The hemlock beams half-inserted into the cliff face engage the rock like expansion screws, while the traditional mortise and tenon joint structure absorbs wind vibrations. The ancients' mechanical wisdom is truly astonishing. This fusion of "strangeness, danger, and ingenuity" is no wonder it has been selected as one of Asia's 100 Must-See Destinations and was named one of the world's most dangerous architectural wonders by Time Magazine.
Cultural Core: A Spiritual Treasure of the Coexistence of Three Religions
The Hanging Temple's most unique charm lies in its cultural heritage of "the integration of three religions." In the Hall of the Three Religions on the highest floor, Confucius, Sakyamuni, and Laozi are enshrined together. The harmonious coexistence of Confucian benevolence, Buddhist compassion, and Taoist naturalness perfectly embodies the inclusive spirit of Chinese culture. The bronze and stone statues and murals within the hall remain vibrant after millennia. Relics such as the remains of a Northern Wei plank road and the Ming Dynasty cliff carving depicting "Buddha in the Sky" make every visit a conversation with history. This cultural fusion that transcends religious boundaries makes it not only an architectural marvel but also a spiritual landmark.

During the tour guide's explanation, I noticed similarities between the architecture of Huayan Temple and Fengguo Temple in Liaoning. The guide mentioned that the people who built Fengguo Temple had come to Huayan Temple to learn from their experience! You could go and see for yourself!
It is one of the oldest and best-preserved Liao and Jin dynasty temple complexes in China. It is divided into Upper Huayan Temple and Lower Huayan Temple. Upper Huayan Temple is centered around the Mahavira Hall, while Lower Huayan Temple is centered around the Bhaga Sutra Repository Hall; both are worth visiting.

Mei Jie's 71st day of traveling in China, Zhangjiakou Zhangbei Bashang Grassland Heavenly Road
At the junction of Zhangbei County and Chongli District in Zhangjiakou, there is a winding asphalt road of more than 100 kilometers. It stretches across the mountains with the ups and downs of the mountains. The scenery on both sides of the road is beautiful, with rivers, mountains, meadows and terraces, like a hundred-mile painting! The blue sky connects with it, and the white clouds echo with it, just like walking on the road to heaven!
The most suitable season for Bashang Grassland is from the end of June to the end of September. The air on the grassland is pure, there is little pollution, and it is also cool in summer.
I was unlucky today. It was raining intermittently on Bashang. The sky was always overcast, and occasionally the sun poured down through the clouds, which was a different taste. I still felt cool wearing long sleeves, it is worthy of being a summer resort~
#MyTravelStory #ZhangbeiGrasslandSkyRoad #ZhongduGrasslandTravelStrategy
🌟Highlights:
The scenery is super beautiful! Any photo is a beautiful picture.
✅Must-experience:
When you go to the prairie, you must ride a horse, eat mutton, and watch the bonfire!
🧳Preparation before the trip:
The temperature on the prairie is cooler than in the city! It will feel cold in the morning and evening
Long-sleeved jackets and long pants are necessary. If you are afraid of mosquitoes, you must bring floral water, otherwise you will be bitten when you go to the prairie!
🚉Transportation strategy:
Of course, driving yourself is the most fun~
🗓Itinerary:
It is recommended to go to Zhangbei Grassland for the first stop. You can participate in the bonfire party and Mongolian performances at night. The second stop is the Grassland SkyRoad, and then you can go home.
🏨Hotel environment:
The surrounding hotels are similar in conditions. We saw Jinrui Farm based on the strategy. The boss is very good and the food and accommodation experience is very satisfactory.
🛏Room facilities:
The hot water is good, the wireless network speed is also good, and the room is clean and hygienic, and the cleaning is very serious.
🍽Dining recommendation:
Jinrui Farm is also recommended for dining! Barbecue is a must! The lamb leg is delicious~ Mongolian cuisine is also very complete and authentic!
💰Per capita consumption: 300 yuan is enough, the consumption is not high.

We arrived at the volcano on the afternoon of the first day of the National Day holiday. It wasn't crowded. No need to exchange tickets for self-drive vehicles; you can enter directly at the self-drive entrance. There are manual ticket checks and exchange. Each volcano has a parking lot, but the parking order is a bit chaotic. We drove a go-kart for 80 yuan per car (negotiable). It went around the volcano. There was a fireworks show at night, but it was too cold to watch.
My first visit to Ulahada Volcano was high, but upon entering the scenic area, I was somewhat disappointed. The volcano wasn't as majestic as I'd imagined. The most unpleasant experience was the traffic jams. During the National Day holiday, the area was packed with tourists, and the roads were one-way, resulting in frequent traffic jams. Self-driving tourists were constantly cutting in line, ignoring the one-way traffic rules. The management of the scenic area was also quite disorganized, truly no more than a AAA-rated scenic spot. To enhance its influence and service levels, much work needs to be done, such as improving scenic area management and implementing appropriate vehicle flow control measures. Furthermore, I personally feel that the sanitation management of the scenic area needs improvement, with a strong whiff of commercial development. I hope the scenic area management will address these issues and not wait until the tourists have stopped visiting before regretting it. By then, it's too late. Remember this!

I was a little disappointed after taking bus 92 to the Chulechuan Grassland stop. There was no grassland, just a desolate meadow with very short, dry grass. In the distance, I saw a building that looked like a yurt, went inside for a quick look, took a photo with a sculpture of a Mongolian beauty, and then came out via a road near the mountains. There was a bus stop for bus 115 by the roadside. After waiting a while, the bus arrived (it came from the Red Education Base), and I rode for two stops before finally reaching the core scenic area! It was breathtaking! Grasslands, towering green mountains, and babbling rivers were all within easy reach, a truly beautiful sight. The only downside was that I didn't see any horses or sheep. For the return trip, I first took bus 115 to the Red Education Base, then transferred to bus 92. Bus 115 is a suburban bus, running approximately every hour, so be mindful of your travel time. No entrance fee is required.
On August 31st, I took advantage of the weekend for a two-day, one-night special forces tour of Hohhot.
It happened to rain, so I'm especially grateful to the two train drivers who drove my son and me to the door to prevent us from getting soaked. Two weeks in advance was perfect. It's a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings now, so you can rent an electric scooter and combine the train ride with walking.

I went to the Hadamen Plateau Ranch and was really crying! When I got off the car, my eyes were full of vast green grasslands, the mountains in the distance were rolling and rolling, and the blue sky and white clouds were matched, it was like a computer desktop. Entering the original birch forest, the sun shines through the branches and leaves, the light is swaying, and the air is full of the fragrance of grass and trees, which is particularly healing. There is also a clear stream flowing, holding a handful, cold and sweet. Here, the whole person relaxes, really love this trip!
It is worth visiting. Different from the platform-level grassland, it is an alpine grassland with a different look and feel. There are not many tourists here. People in the south only know about the Hulunbuir grassland in Inner Mongolia, but fewer know that there is an alpine grassland with a different breadth and depth.
