Mulan Paddock has been a grassland with lush water and grass since ancient times. The reason why it is so famous today is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the many "braid operas" today. Kangxi would go to the "Mulan Paddock" to participate in the autumn hunting almost every year after the beginning of autumn. Yu Qiuyu believed in "Fifteen Years Away" that the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong began with his strong body and spirit; The description of Kangxi's outer circle; the TV series "Han Zhu Ge Ge" with Emperor Qianlong as the time background was simply filmed in the Mulan paddock.

We have seen the Qing emperor hunting countless times in novels and TV dramas, and we may only have a general understanding of the location of "Mulan Paddock", which is in the north of Chengde, the ancient "Beyond the Great Wall". Today's Mulan Paddock covers a very wide area. From Weichang Manchu and Mongolian Autonomous County of Chengde City (hereinafter referred to as Weichang County) to the northwest, the area at the junction of Hebei Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region belongs to "Mulan Paddock". Mulan Paddock mainly includes Saihanba National Forest Park in Hebei Province, Yudaokou Grassland Forest Scenic Area, Hongsongwa National Nature Reserve, and Ulan Butong Grassland in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

The general location relationship of the four major scenic spots: Saihanba is in the middle, Yudaokou is in the southwest of Saihanba, Hongsongwa is in the northeast of Saihanba, and Ulan Butong Grassland is in the northwest of Saihanba. For tourists from the south, Weichang County, the starting point for Mulan Paddock, is in the southeast of Saihanba. The distance between scenic spots and scenic spots is quite far, and each scenic spot is very large, including many small scenic spots, so you need to charter a car or drive by yourself when visiting Mulan Paddock. The beautiful scenery is not always in the scenic spot, but often on the road. Driving on the vast grassland, lakes, rivers, birch forests along the way, and occasionally passing a small desert, a large field of wild flowers, a herd of horses, seeing the scene you like, the car stops on the side of the road, very free. If you rent a car, you should choose an off-road vehicle, because there are big slopes on the grassland, there are pits that are easy for the car to roll over, and some places have to wade in the water. The reference price is 600-700 yuan/day, and it may increase to 1,000 yuan/day during the peak tourist season.

The scenery here is different in four seasons. From mid-June to the end of September is the most beautiful time for Mulan Paddock. You can enjoy flowers in summer and autumn colors in autumn. From early June to mid-August, chamaejasma is in full bloom; from late July to early August, rapeseed is in full bloom; from early July to late August, nasturtiums are in full bloom; from late August to early September, sunflowers are in full bloom. From the beginning of September to the end of September, the weather is cold, but you can enjoy the autumn scenery like an oil painting. And the constant sunset and stars keep the hurried steps of every passenger. Stay here at least one night, just for the sunset on the grassland outside the Great Wall and the countless stars at night. The mechanical forest farm about 20 kilometers away from the entrance of Saihanba National Forest Park and the Hongshan Army Horse Farm in the Ulan Butong Grassland have accommodation, but the accommodation is limited. Even some hotels that are said to have good hotels provide hot water for a limited time . Grassland specialties are usually sold near the accommodation, and lamb is especially delicious.

In addition to the vast grasslands, dotted rivers and lakes, vast hectares of forests and other natural landscapes, horse riding is also a feature here. After the guidance of grooms, most ordinary tourists can only let the horses trot, which is already very exciting and interesting.

Visitors to Mulan Paddock for the first time may not know how to choose because of its vastness and numerous attractions—they are all grasslands, which one should I go to see? Here, I recommend some famous and fun spots for everyone.

Saihanba National Forest Park: The Qixing Lake in the scenic area is the place where almost every tourist who goes to Saihanba National Forest Park will go. It consists of seven small lakes forming a large wetland. Paozi" refers to the small lakes naturally formed by the seepage of groundwater on the grasslands), where Kangxi burned Galdan grain and grass.

Yudaokou Grassland Forest Scenic Area: Taoxian Lake is the most beautiful place in Yudaokou. There is a hill shaped like a peach in the south of the lake.

Hongsongwa National Nature Reserve: The scenic spot is located deep in the grassland, and there are relatively few tourists there. The windmills of the Datang Wind Power Station on the grassland are the highlights.

Ulan Butong Grassland: General Paozi is the iconic scenic spot of Ulan Butong. It is famous for the Ulan Butong War between Kangxi and Galdan in history. As a must-see attraction for tourists to Ulan Butong Grassland, the tourist facilities here It is relatively rich, but also because of the crowds of tourists, the original tranquility is destroyed. It can be said that it is a scenic spot with more significance than value. Beigou is a scenic spot worth visiting. As an area where grazing is allowed in the Ulan Butong Grassland, the beauty of "wind blowing grass and low spot cattle and sheep" can only be seen here, and it is very suitable for shooting sunsets. Ulan Butong also has a very interesting glider ride. People can overlook the panorama of Ulan Butong in the air. The reference price is 300 yuan per time.
