Ulan Butong is a part of Mulan Paddock in the Qing Dynasty. It is famous all over the world because Emperor Kangxi commanded the Qing army to fight against Galdan. It has also become a famous film and television location base at home and abroad for its charming European-style grassland scenery. The scenery here is beautiful, with vast grasslands, rolling mountains, winding rivers, dense forests, and the remains of ancient battlefields such as General Paozi. The scenery is picturesque. It not only has the elegant and beautiful femininity of the south, but also has the rough and masculine masculinity of the north, and has the beauty of being beautiful in the south and male in the north. Many films and TV shows, such as "Kangxi Dynasty", "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", "Han Wu Da Di", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the recent filming of "Legend of Miyue" and "Wolf Totem", 100% to 80% of the locations are in Ulan Butong.
Wucai Mountain, about 20 kilometers away from Hongshan Army Racecourse, is a must. From a distance, this mountain looks like a girl lying on her back in front of her eyes, so it is also called Girl Mountain. In the golden autumn every year, due to the effect of frost, the leaves of different trees on the mountain show different colors. The colorful mountain seems to be dressed in festive costumes. The mountains are red all over, and the forests are all dyed. The sunset on the grassland is also not to be missed. Sitting on the grass and quietly watching the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance, the heart will gradually calm down.
When you come to Ulan Butong, you must try the local specialty - beer burnt lamb. Chop the washed sheep's cavity into several pieces, fry it in sheep oil until it changes color, add some salt and mountain pepper, and don't put other seasonings. Add beer, cover the pot, and simmer for about two hours, then you can eat it out of the pot. The mutton is fat but not greasy, with good color and fragrance.
