Grassland Road - China Travel

introduce

Prairie Sky Road is located at the junction of Zhangbei County and Chongli County, Zhangjiakou City, starting from Yehuling (near Yehuling Fortress) on the south side of Zhangbei County in the west and ending at Huapi Ridge in Chongli County in the east. The scenery on both sides of this road located in the Bashang Grassland is very beautiful, with grasslands, windmills, terraced fields, birch forests and other beautiful scenery.

Grassland Sky Road has rich and diverse scenery, and it is also called "China's Route 66" to show that it is comparable to Route 66, the famous landscape avenue in the United States. Moreover, Grassland Tianlu is not far from Beijing, so it is a good place for self-driving travel, sightseeing photography, and summer vacation in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

The total length of the road is about 132.7 kilometers. It was completed in 2011. The road condition is good, and the whole road is a brand new asphalt road. However, this place is a hilly landform. The road goes uphill and downhill, and there are many turns. It is not suitable for novices or vehicles with a small displacement, and you can’t drive too fast when driving. Now most of the roads have speed limits. Generally, driving and playing The whole process takes about half a day, and if you are a photographer, you need to prepare for one day.

Summer and autumn are good times to visit the grasslands. The summer is lush with green wildflowers, and the autumn is full of golden forests. You can enter from both sides of Yehu Ridge and Huapi Ridge when you are playing. You can drive all the way, and you can have a panoramic view of the vast grasslands on both sides, the colorful birch forests, the cascading terraces behind the villages, and the huge windmills swaying in the wind. , and due to the steep slope of the road, you can see the "sky road" landscape where the end of the road is the skyline, and you can get off the car and take pictures everywhere.

Generally speaking, the scenery of Huapi Ridge is more beautiful, so it is recommended to enter from the side of Yehuling, so that the scenery will gradually become richer. If you enter from the side of Huapi Ridge, it may be because you can see it from the beginning. To the beautiful scenery makes the second half boring.

Like a dragon, entrenched on the top of the mountains, winding and ups and downs, stretching for more than a hundred kilometers. The blue sky connects with it, and the white clouds echo it. Walking on the Tianlu is like walking on the clouds, so it is named "Tianlu". This is the edge of the Xilin Gol prairie, with an average altitude of 1,400 meters and an average annual temperature of only 4 degrees Celsius. It is known as "the thirteen provinces in the world are no colder than Huapi Ridge". Strong wind, abundant sunshine and no obvious summer have become the most significant climate features.

Grassland Sky Road is located at the junction of Zhangbei and Chongli in Zhangjiakou City. It starts from Daqing Mountain in the south of Shangyi County in the west and reaches Huapi Ridge in Chongli County in the east. It is 132.7 kilometers long. The top of the mountains, with twists and turns and ups and downs, forms a large passage that stretches for more than 100 kilometers. It is also one of the top ten most beautiful highways in my country. Grassland Tianlu is divided into east and west lines. The east line is about 100 kilometers from Huapi Ridge to Yehu Ridge. The west line is about 30 kilometers from Yehuling to Bailong Cave. Compared with the east line with a strong commercial atmosphere, the west line is more original and has the charm of alpine meadows. There are more mountains and forests here, as well as historical relics, such as the Ming Great Wall ruins, built on cliffs The Bailong Cave of the Ming Dynasty, the mystery of nature - the group of stone pillars in Dagelong, etc. There are relatively fewer tourists here, and from the perspective of the original ecology, the scenery on the west line should be even better. Entering the west line of Tianlu, you will find the mysterious "Bailong Cave" at the end. It is said that during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, a Taoist priest who traveled all over the world passed by here and found this cave on the cliff. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the environment is beautiful and attractive, and there are mountain springs in the cave, the water quality is sweet, and it is inexhaustible all year round. It is a good place for meditation and practice. Therefore, "Bailong Cave" got its name. According to legend, in the past, in order to pray for good weather and abundant grains, the local people slaughtered pigs and sheep every time the weather was dry, offered offerings, paid homage to the Dragon King and Dragon Mother, and prayed for rain. At the same time, there is also a ruins of the ancient Great Wall nearby, with steep mountains and magnificent alpine meadows, which has also become a famous scenic spot on the west line of Grassland Tianlu. Bailong Cave is a natural cave built on a cliff. The altitude here is about 1,700 meters, and the entrance of the cave is about 300 meters vertical to the ground. To enter Bailong Cave, you need to drive to the top of the mountain, and then follow a narrow, steep slope from the top Walk about 100 meters down the stairs. On the way, you have to pass through a small cave, bend over to pass through the cave, and pass the bridge deck built with only one plank to arrive at Bailong Cave. On the top of the mountain is the remains of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. On this section of the ancient Great Wall, people pick up small stones on the hillside and pile up various mani piles, hoping for good weather, a prosperous country and a strong people, and pray for the realization of their spiritual wishes.
