My experience is a bit like that of Xi Murong. Her father is a Mongolian from Inner Mongolia, but she was born in Chongqing and grew up in Hong Kong. She has never seen the appearance of a grassland. My father used to be a worker who jumped in the queue and went to the countryside. His working place is in the border grassland of Inner Mongolia - Xilin Gol East Ujimqin Banner. You may be unfamiliar, but everyone should be familiar with the movie "Wolf Totem". The story of "Totem" took place and the scene was shot in the Uragai Grassland of East Ujimqin Banner. My father has worked there for about 10 years. Whenever he told me about the glorious years and ordinary stories in the past, his eyes glowed. For a grassland growing in the fantasy deep in my brain, it is full of mystery.
2020 is destined to be an extraordinary year. I originally planned to go to New Zealand, but the epidemic disrupted my plan. I don’t know where to go. I prefer the rough and primitive beauty, not the landscape of Guilin That kind of beauty. I have been to Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, and Yunnan in China, but I have not been to the Inner Mongolia prairie, because my friends took me there before, and I have never taken the initiative to go there. This time I will bring my father and friends to me Guidance in the heart.
We transited in Hohhot, and then arrived at our destination: Xilinhot. This is the smallest airport I have ever seen. The building in the picture below is the airport here. It has already shown 2/3 of the airport, hahahahahahaha. The scene after leaving the airport is like the picture below, the sky is so bright, the team and team leader we invited are waiting for us neatly, VIP treatment
The small city of Xilinhot is very clean, and the greenery is also very good. On the way back to the hotel from the airport, the sky is so beautiful. I have only experienced the same sky in Australia before. It is cloudy in other places in China.
Due to time constraints, we plan to go directly to dinner. The most famous local dish is mutton. The meat is very tender and has no smell. This is a delicacy that must be eaten here. There are also Mongolian singers singing, it feels great
After dinner, we went to the hotel to check in. We stayed at a very distinctive local hotel - Mongolian Hotel. The decoration inside was very ethnic style. I don’t know where to throw the felt pieces taken at that time. It’s a pity.
After checking in, I went out for a walk to digest food. The moment I came out, I was amazed. The sky and all the buildings, everything you can see is red. This is not a burning cloud, this is a burning world! ! !
Depart in the morning, out of the urban area is the grassland
I was once taken to the Grassland Sky Road in Hebei by my friends. I thought it was so beautiful at the time, but I didn’t know what the real Grassland Sky Road is until I saw this road! ! ! ! ! Completed all my fantasies about Prairie Road
Arrive at our accommodation, the wooden house by the river. After the sun goes down, the temperature is still a bit cool. It is recommended that you wear long pants and a top.
The team leader Xiao Hu prepared pre-dinner fruits for us
In the quiet grassland in the evening, the car is also very tired, I have to take a rest
For dinner, Inner Mongolia’s specialties are hand-picked meat, shredded milk tofu, and local fish
You must drink after eating, some people go to play cards, we stay to sing, the team leader is very shy, under our strong request, he also bite the bullet and came to a song
The air in the morning is particularly good. The bend is the local famous Uragai River Jiuqu. We are not going to the "Jiuqu Bay" scenic spot, it is a private territory
In fact, there are all kinds of small flowers on the grassland, as long as you are willing to bend down, they will desperately bloom for you
small chrysanthemum
several types of mushrooms
Everyone, please comment, is the picture below fake or not, does it look like a synthetic or over-colored one?
After the characters come out, do you feel very harmonious? Hahaha, the original
Herd of horses playing in the river
Off-road vehicles and grasslands are better
On the top of the birch forest in Dongwu Banner, I advise everyone not to enter, do not enter, do not enter without hardcore off-roading. The navigation can only go to the end of the road, and the rear is not displayed. There was an SUV who couldn't find the way, and then followed us in, and the tire blew out after a short walk, and the angle of the uphill slope was very steep. Of course, it's another world after coming up, it's so beautiful!
Have a barbecue on the top of the mountain, and urge everyone to take away all the garbage after eating, including cigarette butts. This is not a scenic spot, and there are no cleaning staff
Behind the dark are birch forests
You will be at the top of the mountain, and you can see the grassland expanse at a glance.
The grassland is very windy, the clouds are flying fast, and the sky will be blue in a while
There are too many types of flowers, a bottle of flower arrangement in a few minutes
In the afternoon, I am going to go to the small oriental Switzerland - Aershan. There are two roads to Aershan, one is the road that turns back, and the other is passing through Baogeda Mountain in Dongwu Banner, and then arrives in Aershan. The first one needs 500 kilometers, and the second one only needs 200 kilometers. However, fighting should have already thought of the development of the story, that is, the second road is very difficult to walk, you have to cross the river twice, there are many stone roads and construction roads, this is even more forbidden for SUVs to pass, look good, it is forbidden! will be washed away
We have traveled Bingchacha and 318 Sichuan-Tibet lines before, but the route we took this time is no less difficult than the two days before the road was built!
The second half of the road to Aershan is under construction, full of large stones and excavators, good scenery has a price
Arrive at our accommodation in the afternoon, located in the riverside villa in Aershan National Forest Park. The price here is a little expensive. We only booked it after communicating with the team leader and adding money. The location is excellent
They came to the river to wash their cars, and I followed them for a stroll
An off-road vehicle suddenly drove into the river, which startled me. After a closer look, it was not a vehicle from our convoy. In fact, this is not good, and it is easy to be dangerous. The river is still quite wide and deep.
The Sino-Mongolian border river --- Halaha River, this river has many allusions, and a fight can save your mother. The Halaha River is really beautiful. It feels like Xinjiang to me, with the wide river and the woods behind it.
The river water is very clear. I heard that it is also called the non-freezing spring. It will not freeze at minus 40 degrees in winter.
Be sure to enjoy a free time by the river, this feeling will never be forgotten, it always reminds me of that feeling
The itinerary for these two days is in the Alshan National Forest Park. The park is very large and there are many scenic spots in it.
Oh, the virgin forest, the driving feeling is super good
Luofengling Tianchi in Aershan National Forest Park, if you want to get close to Tuofengling Tianchi, you have to walk 998 steps from the boardwalk. If you want to see the scenery, you have to pay the price
Rhododendron Lake is also superb. The beauty of Aershan is very soft and comfortable. You can walk here slowly, then sit down and chat with friends to rest
I met aunts wearing cheongsam for a photo shoot, they really fit the occasion, they are so beautiful
Take a look at the photo below, do you feel that the number is very small? It turns out that the primeval forest here is towering. In 1998, because of a lightning strike, the sky was red, and sparks spewed out from the cracks in the rocks. Later, the firefighters worked 24 hours a day to extinguish the fire. After nine days and nights of non-stop fighting , finally put out the fire.
After reorganization, we are ready to go to Manzhouli in Hulunbeier. Take a nap on the road. Driving is still very hard. The sky is the quilt and the ground is the bed.
The rain in Hulunbeier this year is not very good, the grass is not very good, not as beautiful as Ula Gai
The double rainbow on the road is amazing, what is the reason for this? I've only seen a handful in the city
Matryoshka hotel in Manzhouli, very shocking
The decoration style inside is European Renaissance art
Buy a souvenir, there are many layers of nesting dolls inside
When you come to a place to play, eating is also very important. The famous Lubri restaurant is full of Russian food.
The taste is quite good, especially the red cabbage soup in it is recommended, it is really not greasy! I asked everyone to take pictures, but no one paid attention to me, the temptation of delicious food is irresistible
Everyone look at the camera! !
The last day of the itinerary is to buy something in Manzhouli, and then go to the airport to end this trip.
Summary: There are no beautiful words in the article, they are all my straightforward feelings. Please forgive me. Most of the shooting was done by hand.
machine, part of the photos are taken by Sony A7R4
The grassland I saw and felt during this trip has fulfilled all my expectations for the grassland. Thank you for the perfect itinerary and different experience brought to us by the team leader. I finally feel why my father always misses the grassland. I used to watch it There is a passage: The grassland is not like the sea or the mountains. You can not only see it from a distance, but you can touch and feel it as long as you can see it. This is my first visit to Inner Mongolia, but it will not be the last time. When I have time in the future, I will come to meet this friend, talk to him again, and walk the road I have traveled.
