I'm not a tourist, I'm just a local who loves to travel. I just want to share the beautiful grassland and delicious food with everyone, so that travelers who come to the grassland or the coming grassland or the road to the grassland will have a strategy, so that you can save more Save time and effort to see more beautiful scenery and taste more delicious food.

Hold on, those two people below are not me.

The following is my own arrangement, please refer to it.

Many people don't know where is the Xilin Gol prairie? In fact, the Xilin Gol League is equivalent to a prefecture-level city, but the reason for the backward economic development has not been withdrawn and the city has not been withdrawn. All the grasslands in Xilin Gol are called Xilin Gol Prairie.

Xilinhot City is the political, economic, and cultural center of the Xilin Gol Prairie, and it is also the seat of the capital. No matter where you come from, you can go directly to Xilinhot City. We don’t ride horses to school in our urban area. Now there are cars, and there are many luxury cars. Only the school season Mongolia Only students from ethnic schools ride horses to school to offer hada to their teachers.

The picture below introduces the tourism resources of the Xilin Gol League. The resources are very rich because of its large area. The Xilin Gol prairie is equivalent to the sum of the area of ​​​​Shandong and Jiangsu provinces. We don’t use air conditioners in summer. The Siberian wind blows. The summer is very short, generally 6 -September is summer, and the hottest time is mid-July, 30 degrees in the middle of the month, and more than ten degrees at night. The temperature difference is very large, but it is very cool to sleep at night.

The picture below is a true portrayal of our grassland. Does the smoke from cooking make you relax?

Every year from March to the end of May, September to November is our autumn. The biggest feature of autumn is the wind, and it is a yellow wind, almost all of which are sandstorms, because we have one of the four major sandy lands in China. ——In Hunshandake Sandy Land, the state has achieved remarkable results in controlling grassland desertification in recent years, and the wind has been much less.

It is winter from November to March, almost always snowing, the coldest is minus 30 degrees, and the usual minus 20 degrees, don't ask me how to live, the herdsmen in the grassland still manage livestock in these harsh days, our specialty here is ——Bai Maofeng, even with snow and wind, the visibility does not exceed 10 meters. In order not to lose the direction, the villagers in the pastoral areas will remember the rope on their bodies when they go out (haha, it is pure nonsense) so as not to get lost.

The urban area of ​​Xilinhot is 600 kilometers away from Beijing, and 600 kilometers away from Hohhot. There are direct expressways, but the trains are still very backward. There are only a few trains. Many old Ximeng people have never done trains, because we go out all the time. It is by car.

Communication in pastoral areas used to be done by roaring, and the gatekeeper basically relied on dogs. Hahaha If you come by train, you can transfer to the following cities. We are all green leather cars here, which are particularly broken. We call them grassland trains locally.

Flights are currently only available in six cities. Flights to Beijing and Hohhot are open all year round. Hohhot offers great price discounts. Beijing has two flights to Nanyuan and the capital. Other flights are seasonal flights, which are usually suspended at the end of the tourist season. , It is suggested that you can transfer to the following cities. There is no way, because there are few people and good scenery here, so the traffic is backward.

It's time to recommend food for you foodies.

The Zhenglan Banner of the Xilin Gol League is the capital of milk and food. Kublai Khan used to build the Yuanshang Capital here. All the dairy products used to be for the royal family, so it can be said that the dairy food of Xilin Gol is the best in the whole of China. Authentic and well kept.

Is it royal? All of the best quality.

Local specialty dairy foods are: milk tofu, naipizi, butter, naijuekou, milk dregs, Chulazi, etc., all of which are made of pure milk without any additives. Of course, the price is relatively expensive. There are no vegetables on our grasslands. It is cold, and the herdsmen graze in the pasture area, they only eat dairy and meat, and they cannot eat vegetables. Those of us are called free food, probably because they are all white.

Luxurious meal.

The picture below is a scene of herdsmen grazing. Their means of transportation is horses, so the Mongolian people are very horse-loving people.

Many people will ask now? Wouldn't that be calcium deficiency?

The trick to not lacking in calcium is to eat milk food for a long time. We locals eat milk food like snacks.

Every family is full of morning tea, dairy products, and the life of the noble class. I suggest everyone try it. Many people are not used to the local specialties.

Our day starts with a bowl of milk tea, we drink milk tea with salt and salt, not Youlemei sweet milk tea.

This has something to do with our climate. In cold regions for a long time, we consume a lot of salt, and milk tea can remove greasy.

Remember to come to the grassland. After eating meat and mutton and drinking a bowl of milk tea, the stomach is warm and comfortable.

Don't ask me what it is, you will know what it is when you come to Xilin Gol.

add location

The living conditions are good, and most of them are riding motorcycles or driving and grazing, leisurely.

The Mongolian people are known as the people on horseback, and they spend a long time on horseback. Children aged 4-5 here start riding horses. Every year, children participate in the Naadam competition, and they are all speed races. Of course, it’s about speed. The champions used to be rewarded with horses, cows, sheep, camels, etc., but now they are all cash and home appliances, which is very real.

The Mongols are a nation on horseback, and they live by water and grass. During the Genghis Khan period, as long as there were grass and water, there were Mongols.

The Mongolian people are nomadic people, we call it "Zou Aoter", that is, they choose good pastures to graze in summer, and choose places with little wind and snow to graze in leeward places in winter. They are driving sheep and horses to migrate all year round. So there are black disasters and white disasters on our grasslands. The black disasters are the spring without snow, the cattle and sheep can’t find water to drink, and the rivers are still frozen. Big, cattle and sheep can't find grass to eat, and the deaths in patches are called white disasters. There is an old saying in the past that "the family is entangled, and the hairy ones are not counted, that's what it means."

The picture below is the photo of our migration. The convoy is a Lele convoy, all of which are pulled by oxen, so it got its name because of the sound of lee.

Some pull people. There are those who pull manure, and those who pull daily necessities.

Whether you come to us by car or by yourself, don't go to your personal grassland. If you destroy the grassland, the herdsmen will be angry and the consequences will be serious.

After grazing, the villagers will build houses or yurts on their grasslands. Now there are still many brick houses. After all, concrete is warm and durable, so you can only see the real yurts of herdsmen grazing in the depths of the grassland. The yurts seen on the Internet are generally tourist attractions, modern yurts.

Now that the villagers have settled down, they will dig wells in their own homes, and drive the cattle and sheep directly to the pastures to graze. It is very relaxing, and there are few white disasters and black disasters. When the snow is heavy, there are government subsidies for feed.

The herdsmen are very rich. A sheep sells for about 2,000, a cow sells for 10,000-20,000, and a horse sells for 10,000. Some people have thousands of sheep, hundreds of horses, and hundreds of cattle. Calculate the money yourself, we are very low-key.

Now they are also migrating, because there are several pastures in one family, and the distance is very far. When changing pastures, some of them just drive there, and many of them take their cars directly. Grazing pastures are called pastures, and pastures where cattle and sheep are not allowed to enter are called pastures. The grass is felled in autumn and kept to feed cattle and sheep.

Many people will ask: How long does it take to mow the grass with such a large grassland? Hehe, we are all mechanized weeding.

Generally, at the end of August and the beginning of September every year, the seeds of Liqiu grass are sowed, and when they stop growing, they start to sow grass.

So the most beautiful season every year is early July - around August 10th.

The picture below is a well-known restaurant in our city of Xilinhot. We have a lot of Mongolian businesses here, so you don’t need to bargain for the price of your meal. We have this price and never rip off customers, because we don’t know what to rip off.

Our local catering consumption is very high, much higher than that of Beijing and Shanghai. You don’t need to find cheap places when you come here. We don’t have any here. The prices of big and small restaurants are the same, so it is recommended to choose a big hotel with good decoration and good dishes. Well, the waiters are all Mongolian.

If you are a backpacker or independent traveler, I do not recommend you to come here. It is very far from our place to various banner counties and grassland scenic spots, and it is normal to be hundreds of kilometers. If you choose the shuttle bus, you can only enjoy the scenery in the car. It will be even worse if you drop it off halfway to see the scenery, because you can’t go back to the city, and it’s dark at night. , Only mosquitoes are with you, and there are fewer wolves, only on the border and Dongwu Banner.

Those who drive by themselves remember to fill up the gas when there is an urban area, otherwise you will be miserable.

The following is our check-in scenic spot here. Let the scenic spot introduce yourself to Baidu. It's more comprehensive than what I said.

The nomadic tribe is just opposite the Mongolian Khan City Scenic Area, 35 kilometers away from the Mongolian Khan City, the ticket is 35 yuan, the original ecological scenic spot, pure sightseeing, less road signs, don't go wrong.

Wulagai is a small town, 350 kilometers away from Xilinhot City, and it is the same road as the 307 National Highway to Xiwuqi. There are a few sections of the road that are not easy to walk. Don’t compete with the big trailer, or you will be the one who regrets it. .

Ulagai is the place where the movie Wolf Totem was filmed. The scenic spot is very beautiful. The Tianbian Grassland Ulagai is not built, because Ulagai is from Dongwu Banner. After walking more than 200 kilometers, you will reach Outer Mongolia, so it is called Tianbian.

The Kaiping Mansion Scenic Spot is temporarily closed, you can visit

Chifeng is divided into Gongger Grassland and Ulan Butong Grassland, and the following scenic spots are all in Gongger Grassland. The Ulan Butong Grassland is next to Chengde, and the ticket is 120 yuan, which means that all the TV dramas are filmed here, such as Huanzhugege, Miyue Biography, and hundreds of Kangxi Dynasty.

The distance from Xilinhot City to Gongger Grassland is 100 kilometers, and the distance from Chifeng to Gongger Grassland is 230 kilometers, so those who want to go to Gongger Grassland can go directly to Xilinhot City. This is more convenient.

Keshigten Banner Stone Array: 140 yuan Dali Lake is divided into south bank and north bank: 120 yuan for the south bank scenic spot, 90 yuan for the north bank

I personally feel that the scenery on the south bank is good. You can go to the top of the mountain to see the entire Dali Lake by using a battery car. The north bank is mainly for bird watching, and it is also a long-distance viewing.

Huanggangliang is the highest peak of Daxinganling, mainly forest landscape.

The following is the accommodation in the urban area of ​​Xilinhot City. Our place is small and the economic conditions are backward. All the hotels are not as developed as those in the mainland. There are seven months of heating costs in winter, and 40 days in the summer peak season, so the house prices for these 40 days are very high. Waiting until winter, the price difference is more than 2 times.

The management area of ​​Ulagai is very small, and these are the few good hotels.

Personally, let me talk about accommodation in yurts. People who come to the grasslands generally want to live in yurts. I personally recommend living in yurts from June 20th to August 10th, because the yurts are relatively simple, and the yurts are colder in other seasons. It is relatively humid, and ordinary yurts are bunks for 4-6 people, no bathing, public toilets. The better one is the standard yurt.

I recommend that if you want to live in a yurt, it is best to use the yurt in the Qiyan tribe scenic spot in Uragai. It is absolutely luxurious, and of course the price is also luxurious.

If you come to the grassland, you have to ride a horse. It is recommended to go to a large scenic spot to ride a horse. Don’t ride a horse on a personal ranch. Mongolian horses are very strong. Personal pastures are cheaper, but there is no insurance. If there is an accident, no one will take care of it. Large tourist attractions It is a professionally trained horse and insurance. As long as you ride it for a lap, be careful of the butt injury after a long time (commonly known as the butt).

This is the highlight. Now Duolun has off-road vehicles to cross, Blue Flag has off-road vehicles to cross, and Xiwu Banner also has off-road vehicles to cross. Generally, they are jeeps from herdsmen. The cars are broken, but they are very interesting.

Personally recommend Duolun's off-road vehicle crossing, usually 3.5 hours, enter a private ranch, there are rivers, deserts and agates, which is particularly exciting and fun.

The off-road vehicle crossing of Xiwu Banner is a purely personal grassland. The deep grassland is the grassland of the fellow villagers. It is very well preserved. Only then can you understand what the Xilin Gol prairie is, and you can also see flocks of sheep and horses Leisurely grazing, and Duolun are completely two experiences.

If you want excitement and rich resources, you can participate in the cross-country of Duolun, and if you want to see the purest grassland, you can participate in the crossing of Xiwu Banner. Let you linger and forget to return, do not travel to the grassland once.

It is not recommended to participate in the crossing of the blue flag, it is not as good as these two places. The price is relatively cheap.

Roasted whole lambs are generally available in tourist attractions, usually 20-30 catties of lambs, and the big lambs are not cooked. The price of roasted whole lambs in Xilin Gol League is the same. Some are different in the opening ceremony of the sheep, and some people have more There are few people. I personally suggest that it is best to eat in the yurts on the grasslands. There is no feeling in the urban area. The whole lamb is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is very fragrant. Picked directly on the grassland, it is pure natural, and there are leek flowers everywhere on the grassland in summer. Very tender.

In addition to roasted whole lamb, there are also roasted lamb chops and roasted lamb legs, which are cheaper and suitable for a small number of people. There are general scenic spots.

Delicious recommendation - Hand-held meat is to eat directly with your hands. It tastes delicious. It is sold in various Mongolian restaurants and scenic spots. Try to choose the Mongolian restaurant in the urban area. The class is hard, you can stand leek flowers or sauced tofu when you eat it, drink some milk tea, don't eat watermelon with cold water, or your stomach will rebel against you.

Mongolian restaurant recommendation: The most luxuriously decorated restaurant in Xishi is Hanggai Mongolian restaurant. If there are many people in the large Jiuqu Mongolian Palace, there are barbecues and various Mongolian meals. The hotel is very large, usually for weddings or large companies, and the food is served slowly. Said Mongolian meals include fried dishes and Mongolian meals, and the price is relatively affordable.

Barbecue recommended food: The mutton kebabs in our place are a must, as well as meat tendons, plate tendons, and lamb kidneys. If men have bad kidneys, they can make up more. There are also sheep glasses, local specialties, and challenge your taste buds and guts , and liver in oil, big beef jerky, which are local specialties, and the test is very good, as well as roasted leeks, roasted garlic, roasted green peppers, etc., barbecue + beer, good things happen every year.

Northeast Man BBQ Lijing Store: The most popular store in the area, with a more luxurious decoration. The meat skewers are particularly good, and the overall consumption is relatively high. There is also a KTV.

For Lonely Bean Sprouts, there are several shops run by the same owner, whichever one is fine, mainly suitable for young people.

Fatty Zhang is also available

Xishi mutton recommendation:

The most famous local mutton is hot-boiled mutton. Our Ujimqin mutton and Sunit mutton are both local place names on our side. The mutton is named after the place name. All the mutton in the former Little Sheep is Ujimqin Mutton, the best mutton in our local area is Sunit mutton, and it is East Sunit, the local name is Dongsu, so there are more sandy land, more Chinese herbal medicines, the grass is not particularly good, and the sheep often run around so the meat is delicious. There is no smell of mutton. Good quality meat is brightly colored, and blackened meat is old meat. There is no duck meat or spliced ​​meat in our local area, so you can eat it with confidence.

The must-order food for Shabu-shabu must be lamb rolls, which are divided into large lamb rolls and lamb meat. I recommend lamb rolls. The meat is fresh and tender, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes. Big mutton is suitable for cooking hand-cooked meat. Our local ones are usually one catty per plate, and there are also half-catty ones. Check the amount of dishes in advance, and the price is about 50-60 per catty.

There are also beef bone marrow, beef louvers (sheep do not have louvers), sheep eyes, yellow throat, and hairy belly are all local characteristics.

Nowadays, it is generally an induction cooker with a single pot for one person. There are few copper pots for cooking. The ingredients are adjusted according to personal taste.

Recommended restaurant: Xinlvda Shabu Fu, the best local Shabu Shabu, the environment is very good, the meat in its own cold storage, book in advance or there are no seats, and there is an old restaurant, don’t make a mistake, choose a new restaurant.

Shepherdess Shabu Shabu Restaurant, where more locals go, the decoration and food prices are relatively ordinary

Recommendation of copper pot shabu-shabu: Muzhuang copper pot shabu-shabu,

I will probably just write these, and I will continue to write when I have time. If I have the opportunity to read this guide, I hope I can leave no regrets for your trip to Xile Gol.

Conclusion: The above is purely my personal opinion, any similarity is purely coincidental.

It's just my personal point of view, please be merciful if I'm wrong.
On the one hand, writing travel notes is for publicity, and on the other hand, I want to show everyone the good places in the grassland.
If you travel to Xilin Gol, you can find me. If you have any unclear routes, you can communicate.
My name is Beibei@东旭 Welcome to discuss, I will wait for you in Xilin Gol!
