Taking advantage of the holiday, I invited friends to Zhangbei Bashang Grassland to personally experience the outdoor camping and tourism life. Due to insufficient pre-preparation work, the prepared tents and outdoor equipment were not complete, so we transferred to Super 8 Select Hotel Kangbao Bus Station on the way. The following is the three-day travel experience, and I will share it with you for reference.

About eating:
The specialty of the prairie is the roasted lamb. The roasted lamb here tastes authentic. There are roasted lamb legs and roasted lamb chops, and they are eaten with cumin powder, which is neither dry nor greasy. However, most of them need to be booked, because they are all roasted directly from raw meat, and it takes a certain amount of time. Ctrip says to book 2 hours in advance, but I recommend booking half a day in advance, because July and August are the peak tourist season on the Bashang Grassland in Zhangbei. Of course, Ctrip also recommends many farmhouses, so you can just follow the location and navigate.
About live:
I originally planned to go camping so that I could see the starry sky on the prairie, but the reality was cruel. The temperature in Zhangbei Bashang prairie was low at night, and the tents I prepared were not enough to keep warm, so I gave up halfway and found a familiar chain hotel (Super 8 Select Hotel Kang Bao Bus Station Store) drove past.
Because Super 8 Select Hotel Kangbao Bus Station is a chain hotel, the room environment is as expected, even the layout is uniform, and it is much more comfortable to lie down than camping. I checked the price of professional camping tents on the Internet, and it was too expensive. It is better to stay in a hotel. The Super 8 Select Hotel Kangbao Bus Station has a good location, and it is more convenient for parking, refueling, and supplies.
About line:
On the first day, we took the Beijing-Tibet Expressway and drove all the way. We encountered a service area on the road and changed people to drive. By the way, we refueled. After getting off the Zhangbei Expressway, we saw many tents along the way. . Walking around, the air is really good, and there are cattle grazing on the mountain. I feel like I can't remember all my troubles there. I just wanted to go back to the tent to sleep, and then wait until night to watch the stars, but as soon as I lay down, the weather in the grassland changed as soon as it was said, and it rained for half an hour. There were no stars after the rain, and it was even colder. Everyone unanimously decided to stay in a hotel.
I found on the Internet that Super 8 Select Hotel Kangbao Bus Station has rooms. I just stayed at Super 8 Select Hotel in Beijing before. Although we encountered some hotels on the road, we still prefer chain hotels. In addition to traveling by car, we chose a hotel that we are familiar with and comfortable to live in.
We drove from the Kangbao Bus Station of the Super 8 Select Hotel to Grassland Road, which is a road built along the grassland. We need to bring enough food and fill up the gas. There are many places to visit along the way. Basically, we drive to the road we like. Just go. It is close to the Huapi Ridge Generation Pinus tabulaeformis forest. The air is good and the environment is good. It is very suitable for getting close to nature. At this time, you can also set up a tent to experience the outdoor camping life. If you need to set up a barbecue, you must pay attention to the use of fire. We prepare dry food, so there is no need to light a fire.
At the same time, there are also many farmhouses along the way. The roast lamb mentioned above is eaten in the farmyards, and it is booked on Ctrip. Of course, in addition to watching the scenery and getting close to nature, there are also many activities to play, such as horse riding, archery, grass skiing, cable car, go-kart, golf, stargazing at night, etc. These require additional fees and are free to choose. Specific items Play costs range from tens to hundreds. Experiencing these self-funded projects almost exhausted our physical strength, so we camped nearby to make ends meet for the night. Although there was no rain, there was still a large temperature difference at night, and it was hard to sleep in the middle of the night. Therefore, it is recommended that friends prepare some camping equipment in advance, or book a nearby hotel early.
We started from the campsite and went to Dahaoheshan, which is a historic Dajingmen (the famous pass of the Great Wall and the landmark of Zhangjiakou, Hebei). The ticket is only 12 yuan. I heard that this is a battleground for military strategists in history. If you buy a ticket, you can climb up the city wall and look down, imagining the scene of the confrontation between the two armies. If you have time, you can also climb up. The whole scenic spot is mountain climbing. There is also a sunken art gallery. If you are interested, you can go there. We have to go back to Beijing that day, so we will not go there. In general, here in Dahaoheshan, it takes a lot of physical strength, so everyone should be mentally prepared.
summary:
There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening on the Bashang Grassland in Zhangbei. Camping needs to prepare a tent and all kinds of outdoor equipment; you can experience outdoor barbecue, but you need to prepare your own tools. Personally, I suggest eating the roasted whole sheep from the local farmyard directly, which is better. It’s delicious; it’s best to book the hotel in advance, do your homework before, and say that there is a music festival on the grassland, and nearby hotels may cost four to five hundred and one nights. The Super 8 Select Hotel Kangbao Bus Station we stayed at was only two hundred a night There are many, and the surrounding supplies are very convenient. It is still a chain hotel, and the environment and services are relatively OK.
