Goodbye 2019, hello 2020
A busy year has passed, and most of the work plans have come to an end. Thinking back, I seem to spend too much time on business trips in a year, and my concern for my parents seems to be limited to WeChat videos and voices. The first Flag in 2020: Not only to be kind to yourself, but also to your family, go out more together, take a few trips~
At the end of 2019, from the warm Sanya to China's Ma Town, which has four distinct seasons, passed through Beijing, packed up and set off after returning home. The little girl told me that I was going to China to experience "Ice and Fire", because we missed two snowfalls in Beijing, so we decided to go north, north, and north again~
Day1: Departure from Beijing — Stay at Mengma Hotel for lunch — Dancing Horse Paradise (Makop, Mabo, Caravan Stockade, Manchu B&B, Escape Room, Royal Stables) — Watch Man Yun Riding Wind — Eat Roasted Whole Lamb at Food Street — TV Music Party — Fireworks Show — Singles Horse Bar — Back to Hotel for a Rest
Day2: Hotel buffet breakfast — Dancing Horse Paradise to watch the opening ceremony of Ice and Fire — Ice and snow projects (ice sculptures, snow sculptures, snow competitions, ice hot pot, etc.) — Lunch at the cute horse restaurant in the park — Play in the park — Return to the hotel to check out — return trip
Two days and one night of play, there are two feelings:
1. The chick said that the schedule is too tight this time, and she didn't play enough, so she must play for a few more days if conditions permit;
2. If parents come to Beijing for the New Year, they must take them there again
(tips: closer than long-distance travel; farther than Beijing outing. The distance is just right~)
01 Preparation before departure
I dare not show my waist anymore!
At this time, Sanya can jump into the swimming pool shirtless, but if you go to Mazhen (Chengde) in China to play, you need thick warm long johns. In addition, you can bring a magic headscarf and some baby warmers, which will definitely come in handy.
For the sake of playing, I only brought commonly used equipment for taking pictures: Canon5d3 + SonyA6100 + vivoX30 pro
02 Play strategy
Strong New Year flavor
After traveling to Ma Town, China, you can see the eye-catching big light box from a distance, and the smell is really strong nearby. Chinese red, New Year greetings, you are blessed with the mouse~ Well, the Chinese New Year is coming soon
"Frozen" in the world of dancing horses
The Ice and Fire Festival I understand is composed of ice, snow and fireworks, but it is actually not like this! The theme of the Ice and Fire Festival, "Ice and Fire Romance", tells the story that the ice is very cold and the fire is very hot, and the ice and fire have made great efforts to live a happy life as tribal people regardless of each other. This content must be known at the opening ceremony in the morning~
Snow mountain castles, ice and fire performances, electronic music parties, ice and snow entertainment in the horse dancing world, as well as full rhyme riding style, special food, fireworks show... eating, drinking, playing, shopping and entertainment are all available. Come on, let's see what's fun~
After entering the park, you will see the most complete and rich content of horse elements in the country. Let's put it this way, you can't think of it, and everything else is there! The origin, development and future direction of horse culture can all be understood here. There is also a vr experience, which is very suitable for the whole family to play~
With a certain understanding, walking inside is the theme area "Caravan Village". Listening to the name, it feels like a place where caravans gather. I think it used to be a relatively prosperous place and a place where caravans must pass. We walked in with curiosity~
By the way, the pony on the right side in front of the door looks very arrogant and cute.
There are also many interesting projects in the caravan stockade, such as Yingle Valley, mirror maze, escape room, ocean ball, Manchu folk custom house, intangible cultural heritage workshop, traditional folk custom experience, tea horse bodyguard bureau, chicken eating scene, Wabang stockade... ...As expected, the village was very lively. Exceeding expectations, the area is too large and the content is too much~
I personally like "Mirror Palace", it's so exciting~ When you see the exit, you may be several 3 minutes away from the exit
After passing the caravan stockade, you will arrive at the Heroes Square, which is the characteristic outdoor play area of the "Ice and Fire Adventure Play Area" of the Ice and Fire Festival.
The small sledges on the ice track run through the entire park. As long as you have amazing arms, you can play with it for a day. It’s free anyway~
Don’t worry if you are lazy or don’t feel exciting enough, because the following speed competitions can blow your heart rate! First of all, I would like to share with you the secret of kart drifting in the snow: do not slow down and hit the direction hard, as long as you are not too fat, you will definitely not overturn, but you must pay attention to leaving enough room for flicking. Play with confidence, heartbeat index full score!
There is also a free colorful snow circle project, 5-6 slides, I chose the weakest and weakest one. There are still two small slopes after sliding out of the slideway. When I reached the first small slope, I flew directly into the air, and my heart rate exploded instantly!
For the sake of free, I played another curve slide, and then took a slow ride on the snowmobile.
That's right, snowmobiles are used to slow down the mind~
Slow down, go to the ice hot pot to eat hot pot. It's not a tongue twister, just look at the picture to understand
Here is a hidden benefit, get hot pot ingredients for free!
Shoot a short video of Douyin for ice hot pot, and co-produce with the official. you can get it for free
It's that simple, come and experience it~
If you are a friend with a baby, you can go to the cute horse restaurant in the park, where the ins style is strong
Fantasy show on horseback - full rhyme riding style
The fantasy show on horseback - Man Yun Riding Style, integrates various cultural elements such as shaman culture and totem culture, uses dance, acrobatics, and live performances to condense the history and culture of the Manchus and the unique regional customs in 70 minutes on stage~
There are a total of 5 chapters in Man Yun Riding Wind, which tells a moving story.
Prologue "God Fire Sacrificial to Heaven and Earth"
The second act "All the people in the country are happy"
The third act "Brilliant Costin"
Act IV "Defending the Country"
Act V "Blessings and Blessings to the World"
The majestic music, colorful lighting, AR interaction, and audio-visual feast of "Full Rhyme Riding the Wind" are very shocking. There is no urine point in the whole process, and you must experience it when you arrive in Mazhen, China~
If you are still not satisfied, then go to the electronic music party at night~
Fireworks illuminate you in the electronic music party
Hearing the restless music from outside the park, he couldn't help speeding up the pace of entering the arena following the beat. DJ's intermittent street shooting is "giao~"
If you don’t see it, you don’t know, it’s hard to squeeze into the front row if you go late. So get there early! Let me release an important message: the fireworks show is on time, so if you want to shoot fireworks, you have to find a location in advance. If you have a shooting prospect, it will look more three-dimensional and more beautiful. Remember to warm your hands in front of the bonfire after shooting, after all, this is a large outdoor project.
2 days and 1 night will be very full, and 3 days and 2 nights will be perfect.
This winter, let us go to the grassland to enjoy an audio-visual feast and experience the romance of ice and fire.
Refreshing wind, warm fire, blooming fireworks...everything you want is here~
03 Bar Food Street
Speaking of food, here is a complete food pedestrian street! It is much more advanced than the roadside stalls at the Imperial Capital Temple Fair.
"The No. 1 Roasted Lamb Restaurant in the World" teaches you six ways to eat a sheep. In my opinion, the "picking" way of eating is quite novel. A family gathers around the sheep rack to eat meat, eat meat, Eat meat with big mouthfuls, leaving a fragrance on your lips and teeth. I have to swallow several saliva after writing here, let’s not talk, just look at the picture~
"Sanlitun on the Bashang, the roasted lamb does not close" is another new year, and it is a new year, and the roasted lamb is a companion.
People in the north are very particular about drinking, and they have to go "too-tou" when they are full. Toutou: Find a place to have a drink if you haven't drunk enough, until everyone is satisfied with the drink and have a good chat. This is the enthusiasm of the northerners.
The "Single Horse" bar must be the best place for "Tou Tou". Live resident singing, dance performance, dominating the screen, the stage is yours~
04 accommodation
China Horse Town has an exclusive horse-themed hotel group, which incorporates national characteristics. There are Tibetan-style Mengma Hotel (five-star), Mongolian-style White Horse Hotel (four-star) and others. As a hotel lover, we chose Mengma Hotel, a small highlight to sublimate the travel itinerary~
The five-star service makes you feel the warmth of home. This is my review of the hotel during this trip.
It's right to choose here~
05 traffic
Finally, share the best two modes of transportation:
1. Scenic through train. Capital Airport and Dongzhimen, these two locations have through trains and shuttle buses to the scenic spot, it is best to contact the scenic spot to confirm before departure.
2. Self-driving. I personally prefer this way, because the farther north you go, the more beautiful the scenery is. Snow covers every mountain peak, and a large windmill stands in it, as if driving into a picture of ice and snow. beautiful~
Happy new year, let's go play with your family
Snow mountain castle, ice and fire show, electronic music party, ice and snow entertainment, as well as full rhyme riding style, special food, fireworks show...
