In 2020, when I can’t travel far because of the epidemic, Fengning Bashang will accompany me the most. I will enjoy the scenery of the prairie in the north of Beijing, watch the windmills and white clouds all over the mountains, and ride a horse on the big beach... 2020 At the end of the year, my friends and I also chose to spend a different New Year here. I have long heard of the China Horse Town Resort located on Fengningba. Every winter there is a "China Horse Town Ice and Fire Festival" in full swing.
So I went with my friends and came to China's Horse Town for the New Year's Eve. I wanted to experience how the so-called "extremely cold place 260 kilometers north of Beijing" has two layers of ice and fire; at the same time, I wanted to use the beautiful meaning of "horse" to take us through The bugs of 2020, return to normal life together, and start a wonderful 2021!
Let's go, to the world of ice and fire
Let’s go as soon as we say, we are used to self-driving short trips this year, we simply packed our bags to keep warm from the cold, checked the condition of the car and set off! It took 3 hours all the way to the north, more than 260 kilometers along the way, there are beautiful scenery everywhere, and several self-driving routes recommended by the thoughtful China Mazhen Tourist Resort Wall Crack, let us who like road travel enjoy the classic + Internet celebrity attractions along the way. If there is a little more holiday, you can add a stop or two along the way~
For example, friends from Tiananmen Cuhua can arrange it in sauce:
A . Tiananmen-Badaling Ancient Great Wall Scenic Area-Chongli Winter Olympic Town-China Horse Town Tourist Resort-Jiulongsong Scenic Area-Yanqi Lake Tourist Scenic Area-Downtown Beijing
B. Tiananmen-Badaling Ancient Great Wall Scenic Area-Chongli Winter Olympic Town-China Ma Town Tourist Resort-Chengde Summer Resort-Jinshanling Great Wall Scenic Area-Gubei Water Town-Downtown Beijing
C. Tiananmen - Badaling Ancient Great Wall Scenic Area - Chongli Winter Olympic Town - China Ma Town Tourist Resort - National No. 1 Scenic Avenue - Yudaokou Scenic Area - Saihanba Forest Park - Chengde Summer Resort - Jinshanling Great Wall Scenic Area - Gubei Water Town - Downtown Beijing
Looking at the big windmills that are still busy in the mountains in winter, it has a different kind of quiet beauty. Accompanied by four and a half hours of laughter and beautiful scenery along the way, we came to the China Horse Town Tourist Resort.
For friends who don’t want to drive, China Mazhen Tourist Resort also considerately launched a package of high-speed rail + scenic spot through train. Take the high-speed rail from Beijing North Railway Station/Qinghe Station, transfer to the through train at the resort at Prince City Station, 2 hours You can reach Ma Town~
Take horses as dreams and live in "dream horses"
Because of the New Year's Eve, we chose the high-end "Dream Horse Hotel" to stay in. This is the only five-star standard hotel in the resort. The color of the entire exterior looks like the Potala Palace.
The high ceiling of the lobby makes the whole environment feel spacious and grand, and the main decoration style incorporates grassland culture and horse elements.
Walk into the room, just one word "warm"! The outdoor temperature is below zero with snowflakes. For the Northeast people, the happiest thing is to be in the warm "hot kang head". So much better!
The room is super spacious, the bed is soft and firm, and the sun shines in. I am the happiest little princess in the grassland. China Horse Town Resort thoughtfully put the game strategy together in the room card holder, which is simply a convenient and considerate little cutie. Lie on the bed, study the rich gameplay before starting!
There is another detail that moved me to tears, because I drank the "Quanyang Spring" from my hometown! Mengma Hotel is so tasteful, full marks! Call here for hometown products and Mazhen ~
The bathroom is particularly spacious, and the thoughtful design of the mirror headlight makes the baby wearing makeup extremely comfortable. Moreover, the light in the bathroom is sensory, and it will automatically turn on when you get up in the middle of the night, avoiding the trouble of not being able to touch the switch and disturbing your roommate when you get up in the middle of the night.
There is also a White Horse Hotel next to Mengma Hotel, which is a four-star Mongolian culture-themed hotel. If you like to experience Mongolian culture in depth, you may wish to try it. The walking distance between the two hotels is only 3 minutes, and the interior of the two hotels can be directly crossed~
From the entrance of the hotel, you can take a shuttle bus to the entrance of the "Dancing Horse World Theme Park" in the resort. If you drive by yourself, you can also drive directly from the hotel parking lot to the parking lot in the resort. It takes about 3 minutes. There is ice and snow on the road in winter, so please drive slowly.
A Song of Ice and Fire, Carnival Ice and Fire Festival
This year's New Year's Day coincides with the opening of the 3rd China Mazhen Ice and Fire Festival. It lasted only 2 months and ended at the end of February. The festival retains the previous classic ice and snow buildings, bonfire electronic music party, and snow entertainment.
This year also added the first primary ski resort on Fengningba, which shows the in-depth practice of "300 million people on ice and snow" in China's Mazhen tourist resort.
Highlights of Ice and Fire Festival
1) The most magnificent ice and snow world in northern Beijing
In the Hero Square in the center of the Dancing Horse World, there are large ice castles and snow sculpture walls. Under the reflection of the blue sky and the sun's rays during the day, the crystal clear ice and snow world is like a fairy tale dream.
The giant snow sculpture clearly engraved the girl's smiling face. I was really moved by the skill of the snow sculptor. Such a severe cold weather produced such a huge and beautiful scenery! The blue sky is the most beautiful background of this work.
The magnificent sculptures of ice and snow and the majestic Pegasus on the square make this place full of heroism and majestic momentum.
Under the night, the colorful ice lanterns turned on the square into a world of colorful children's paintings. I thought I was at the Lake Louise Ice Sculpture Festival, I thought I was at the Harbin Ice and Snow World~
At this moment, I belong to this fairy tale world~
2) Dancing in the ice and snow world, be the most handsome boy in disco
On the stage in the middle of the fairy tale world, the little DJ brother will bring his energetic and passionate songs every night (except Monday), and accompany us to dance the coldest and passionate Di. In the ice and snow world at -25°, let’s be the most passionate boy in the town of Bongdi together~
There are also a lot of hot dances and cool performances, making the winter night at minus 25 degrees, with 25 degrees of enthusiasm!
Ps: Every Tuesday to weekend during the Ice and Fire Festival, every night is full of excitement! On weekends and holiday nights, there is also a romantic fireworks show to accompany you!
It coincides with the New Year's Eve, and we were additionally "added chicken legs". This year's New Year's Eve ceremony is very special, because 2020 is very sad and difficult for most people, and it is most people's wish to send 2020 away. China Horse Town specially designed Burn Bar 2020!
Let the warm bonfire melt the cold 2020! Use red silk to pray for 2021, tie the red ribbon full of giving to the fence beside the campfire, and use the raging fire to warm and ignite every hope.
3) LOHAS Ice and Snow World, endless fun on the snow
The fun of winter lies in the world of ice and snow. No matter how low the temperature is, the enthusiasm for playing in the snow will be high. As a child in the Northeast, playing with ice and snow will not get boring~
In addition to the classic small ice cart, the dolphin skater was also directly molested by me. It is super cute and there is nothing to do~ Innovation is everywhere
In addition to relatively mild ice cars, zorbs, and bumper cars on ice... you might as well have a few more adrenaline-boosting experiences, such as the ultra-sensual banana boat on snow, which feels like it will fly if you weigh less than a hundred. super hi!
Or pull the snow circle up the half slope, gallop down, feel the thrill of flying on the snow, as if flying into space on a flying saucer~
Next to the snow fun area, there are a group of white snow houses, just like a fairy tale dream in winter.
Tired of playing, why not go to the Royal Stables next to the Snow Fun Park to pick up sweaty BMWs and cute grass mud horses~
In the royal stables, you can meet more than ten famous horses in the world, among which the arrogant one is the authentic "sweaty BMW" from Turkmenistan, which looks really cold and arrogant.
In the cute pet park next to the stables, a family of three vicunas are walking happily, waiting for visitors to feed carrots. We were probably full when we went, and we didn't express interest in food, we just cared about being cute.
The little alpacas have very personalities, don't make them angry, they will spit, the kind that are super far away~
4) High School Musical, wonderful performance
In addition to a wealth of outdoor activities and experience items, the resort also has many interactive and performing arts programs. Except for Monday’s public holiday, there are rich performances every day from the Penguin Story when the park opens at 10:00 in the morning until 10:00 in the evening.
Ps: Fortunately, on New Year's Day, China's Mazhen Tourist Resort has officially unveiled a national 4A-level tourist attraction~ We just witnessed this highlight moment.
Knock on the blackboard to remind ing that the legend of the dancing horse in Theater No. 1, you must remember to set the alarm clock in advance to watch, the scene lighting, stage beauty and plot, and the superb equestrian skills of the actors are not to be missed.
Another area that focuses on performing arts is the "Majie Small Stage". The performances here are closer to the audience. The clown will lead the audience to the stage to interact, and the Mongolian dancer will dance directly at 50cm from you.
The girl on horseback played the "beloved horse head qin", which made the grassland in Ma Town full of flavor.
Ps: Don’t miss the Internet celebrity check-in area on the right side of the small theater. This is the place for sweet and salty photo shoots!
Treasure check-in place, not to be missed
After entering the park, on the Hummer Ancient Road in the antique block, there are various shops and museums gathered.
In the area of the Manchu Folklore Museum, you can learn about the life and folklore stories of the royal people on horseback. For a kid from Northeast China, it is both kind and distant.
In the post post, you can write a slow letter to yourself and deliver it to your future self.
In the Shenma Feifei 5D experience hall, watch an absolutely immersive animation movie, and watch the stories of ponies, pigs, and turtles.
The sense of substitution was so strong that I was actually moved to tears by the efforts of the little turtles. This place is definitely suitable for friends of all sizes, and there is an animated movie every hour.
The oiran talent show located in Fengyue Building has now moved indoors, and you can watch a stunning oiran dance performance on the second floor.
Wonderful food, happy memory of taste buds
The beef and mutton on the dam is really well-deserved. Every time you go to the dam, you must ensure that you have more than one catty of mutton per capita. The famous "No. 1 Roast Lamb in the World" in Ma Town, China must have one in the new year, and 10 people can't finish it in one meal!
The roasted whole lamb in Mazhen, China, not only has a large portion, but also tastes good. The key point here is the sense of ceremony. The grand "opening ceremony" made me feel the royal treatment of Zhenghuangqi. The girl in the national flag dress and the extraordinary Lord Belle will accompany you to start the ceremony.
"Lord Baylor" said that the standard eating method of this royal standard roasted lamb is "one sheep and six meals": eat sheep skin, eat lamb, eat lamb chops, eat lamb legs, eat meat skewers, and finally drink lamb soup.
There is an interval of about 30 minutes between each way of eating. During this period, friends are accompanied by refreshing cold dishes, and chatting together. It is rare to have a slow meal and a slow time.
The food street in China Horse Town gathers all kinds of delicacies, and there is also a Western-style fast food restaurant in the world of horse dance-Mengma restaurant, friends with various tastes and needs, choose the dishes that suit you so easy~
Mengma Restaurant also warmly puts "warm men's tea" on the shelves in winter, which is super sweet and super warm.
For the New Year's dinner, we chose the Chinese restaurant of Mengma Hotel. Not only are the dishes exquisite, but the taste is also very authentic. Bashang's characteristic beef and mutton and oat noodles are all in one go. If there are many people who need private rooms, remember to book in advance at the hotel front desk.
As a noodle lover, the cooking stalls in the breakfast restaurant of Mengma Hotel can satisfy my taste buds. Let me start a warm day with oat noodles and buckwheat noodles~
