For people in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, going to the grassland in summer is like going to the seaside. Just find a weekend, travel in groups of three or five, and drive by car, which is an excellent choice for leisure and relaxation in summer vacation. Open the map in your mobile phone and draw a circle with your location. Grassland within 800 kilometers is a good choice. You can choose according to time, route, companions and different styles of grassland. Don't take it as a long vacation or a long trip, it's just a spice of your boring life, and you will find such a trip simple and happy.
This is my third time to enter the Keshiketeng grassland. I sincerely love grassland scenery and Mongolian culture. When I went to Keqi last year, I left many regrets because of the dry weather and route planning. So I decided to swim again this year and feel the true beauty of Keqi persistently.
(The following pictures have gone through a certain period of time, and some travel photos have basically no period. )
Hexigten Banner is located in the northwest of Chifeng City, bordering Xilin Gol League in the north and about 700 kilometers away from the highway in Beijing, Tianjin and Tangshan. Peng Jing Town is the seat of Keqi government and the distribution center of Keqi tourism. It is very convenient to eat and stay in the town, so you can go to Keqi as the center and start from the ring road. The tourist attractions in Keqi mainly include Qingshan Park, Huanggang Liang, Ashatu Stone Forest Scenic Area, Shayun Mountain, Baiyin Aobao, Gong Geer Grassland, Dalianoer Lake, Xilamulun Park, and different grasslands in Wulan. Highway landscapes include the famous Re 'a Line, Dada Road Line, Jingshan Line and Wujing Line, each of which is the most beautiful "grassland road", forming a loop line and connecting the main landscapes of Keqi in series; In addition, in the east of Peng Jing Town, there is a famous hot pool hot spring resort, which is called "Oriental Divine Spring". Friends who like to soak in hot springs can experience it here. The above is my understanding of Keqi tourism. The whole experience takes about four to five days. If time is tight, it is recommended to visit the main attractions in two or three days, or choose different seasons, and the experience will be different.
This year, I went to Keqi to catch up with the 303 National Road to build roads, which affected the travel time. Journey to the South goes from Tangshan to Chengde via Shen Chang Expressway, then to Chifeng via Daguang Expressway, and then to Bahrain Right Banner along Danxi Expressway. Danxi expressway from Bahrain Right Banner to Hexigten Banner is under construction. According to local friends, it is expected to be repaired next year. By then, from Chifeng to Keqi and then to Xilinhot, the whole journey can be realized at high speed, which is very convenient for travel. We get off the highway from Bahrain Right Banner, pass through 205 provincial highway to Bahrain Right Banner, and then turn to 303 national highway to Peng Jing Town. Take this route, and the round-trip fare is around 500 yuan. If you start from Beijing, you can take Zhangshi Expressway to Zhangjiakou, then turn to Provincial Highway 105 along Xizhang Expressway, and then enter Keqi from west to east via National Highway 303. The round-trip fare is around 400 yuan. It is worth mentioning that the national and provincial roads in Keqi are well maintained and the traffic volume is not large. In addition to detours, winding roads and undulating roads, self-driving is really easy. In fact, there is a very close road from Hebei to Keqi, passing through Saihanba to the north and passing through Chengde paddock. This road leads directly to Ulan, but it is planned as a tourist route. After entering, everyone will be charged the entrance fee of 150 yuan, so it is not recommended to take this road unless going to Saihanba for sightseeing. Local friends said that in 20 19, Keqi will have a high-speed to Chengde, and the distance from Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei to Keqi will be greatly shortened.
The travel time of Keqi this year is three days. The itinerary is as follows: Depart from Tangshan on the first day, arrive at Pengjingkeqi Center in the afternoon, go to Castle Peak Park on the way, and stay in Peng Jing at night. The next day, we set out from Peng Jing and took the Re 'a Line to visit Huanggang Liang in the north through Re 'tang. After that, we continued to visit Ashatu Stone Forest north along the Re 'a Line. In the afternoon, we set out from Ashatu Stone Forest, passed through Dada Road to Dali Town, passed Baiyin Aobao and sandy spruce on the way, and spent the night in Gong Geer grassland. On the third morning, there was no specific arrangement. You can visit Dali Lake, or go deep into the grassland, or visit Baiyin Aobao and Shapi spruce, or start your return trip at noon and arrive in Tangshan at night. This route planning can smoothly connect these scenic spots in series, without going wrong, and at the same time, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Re 'a Line and two famous grassland highways in Dada Road. Next, I will talk about the specific itinerary of these three days in detail.
Depart from Tangshan at 7: 00 on the first day, follow the above route and arrive in Peng Jing at 4: 30 in the afternoon. During the trip to the south, the sky is getting bluer and bluer, the outline of clouds is getting clearer and clearer, and the mood is getting better and better. But because there are many stops on the road to deal with work, the time is delayed. This also led to our failure to enter Castle Peak Park as scheduled. Castle Peak Park stops selling tickets at 4: 30 pm. The staff said that if you can't enter the scenic spot, you can also look outside the scenic spot. There are many landscapes that can be seen from the outside, or just outside the scenic spot. In fact, going to Castle Peak Park is mainly to see Castle Peak Rock Mortar. The so-called stone mortar is granite stone mortar. On the gently undulating granite rock surface on the south side of Qingshan Peak, there are hundreds of rock mortars within the range of 1000 square meters, and there are cliffs on both sides of the rock mortar group. Qingshan granite slurry is a rare natural heritage in the world, which is the result of Quaternary glacial movement. So it's still worth seeing, but the ticket plus ropeway and sightseeing bus 170 yuan are a bit expensive.
We didn't enter the scenic spot, so we stopped to play on the way into the scenic spot, which was also very good. Occasionally, you can see the stone mortar on both sides of the path, and you can use your imagination to guess what those grotesque stones look like. In the evening, the valley is refreshing and pleasant, and the golden sunshine is splashed by the sunset. Accompanied by the singing of birds, the family played happily, and the feeling of happiness washed their hearts.
At seven o'clock in the evening, I returned to the pavilion, and it was still bright. Ctrip found a hotel with a good evaluation and went directly to check in. Wife of shop-owner is very kind, bargaining with her again and again, and finally staying at the price of a room in 80 yuan. On her recommendation, we went to a restaurant called Tianhe Fishing Village and tasted the famous China fish. China fish produced in Dali Lake is a very magical fish. It was originally a freshwater fish, but in order to adapt to the high salinity of Dali Lake, Chinese fish swim upstream from Dali Lake to Gonggeer River every spring to ovulate, and then swim back to Dali Lake after birth. So, fish are smaller. The common cooking method of China roe is frying, and restaurants here usually sell one in 20 yuan. I'm not interested in eating fish, but since China fish is so famous, I decided to try it this time. To tell the truth, it is difficult for ordinary people to tell the difference between crucian carp and small crucian carp after frying, but after careful tasting, the meat quality of crucian carp really looks more full and tender.
We didn't pay too much attention to diet during this trip, so I just want to comment on Keqi's diet here. However, it should be reminded that Keqi has a large amount of catering and heavy taste. In addition, friends who want to eat Mongolian food should pay attention to the fact that according to the previous experience of eating Mongolian food, pure Mongolian food is not acceptable to everyone, especially if they go to some informal Mongolian food restaurants, they may not be able to enjoy themselves. When you are in go on road trip, you'd better prepare more food in the car in case you can't find a restaurant on the grassland.
The next day's trip started from the pavilion, which was also the most wonderful day of the trip. I don't know what words to use to describe today's trip except the word "beauty".
The Re 'a Line is a highway from Hot Water Pond to Ashatu, passing through a pleasant hot water country road, passing through the beautiful scenery of Gaolin Mountain and Grass in Huanggangliang, and extending to the vast grassland of Gong Geer.
Depart from in the morning, cross the overheating pond, and follow the Re 'a line. The first stop is Huanggang Liang. Huanggangliang National Forest Park covers an area of 6.5438+0.8 million hectares, with forests and grassland landscapes as the main body, integrating grasslands, mountains, valleys, lakes, meadows, jungles, sparse forests and sandy land. Huanggangliang area belongs to the Daxinganling mountain system, and the main peak Goose Head is 2029 meters above sea level, which is the highest point in Daxinganling. Huanggangliang Scenic Area does not accept tickets, but the scenery is absolutely first-class, especially in autumn, and the vegetation on the beam is colorful and worth visiting. According to the local people, foreign tourists can't find the way into the mountain, so they can only stop by the side of the road to see it, but it's already beautiful. Climb up the Panshan Mountain along the Re 'a Line and stop when you meet the beautiful scenery. The road goes all the way to the top of the mountain, where there is a parking lot and observation deck. You can run freely on the hillside full of flowers and green grass. Standing on the hillside and looking at the top of the mountain, I feel so close to the sky, as if white clouds are within reach. Climb to the top of the slope along the viewing plank road, overlooking the south, it is a winding path when you come, and overlooking the north, it is the ups and downs of mountains. Blue sky and white clouds washed by clear water, as well as brightly colored forests and grasslands, just framing a scene is a picture scroll without any modification. Such beautiful scenery will arouse the inner impulse, and the family will sing loudly under the blue sky and white clouds and wander freely among the flowers and green grass. Sigh the magnificent picture scroll on the vast land of Inner Mongolia Plateau, which is beautiful!
Not far from Huanggang Liang, pass a crossroads. To the west, it is the Dada Road leading to Dali Lake, and to the north, it continues to Ashatu. Seen from this intersection, the scenery is different Going south, first pass through a birch forest, and self-driving vehicles can drive to the edge of the forest. Then gradually enter the grassland area. Passing by chumham, we stopped. Under the rolling mountains in the distance, there is a grassland stretching to the foot of the mountain. Wildflowers in full bloom on the grassland are like stars shining with the wind in the night sky. This is the painting, and we are in the painting, and we become the scenery.
Set out happily and move on. The next trip is exciting. It turns out that the real "prairie road" is at your feet. Living in the city, we can only see such scenes in the movies: under the blue sky and white clouds, the quiet expressway stretches far away with no end in sight; Walking between ups and downs is like sailing to heaven. A little closer, you'll cross the clouds. You think you're in heaven, only to find that it's always at the end of the next road.
This is the origin of Gong Geer grassland. Roads shuttle across the vast grassland like ribbons, with low slopes on both sides. Cattle and sheep enjoy themselves in the pasture, and occasionally passing blankets curl up with smoke. Even when driving on the grassland, the rhythm of the heart will suddenly slow down. This is life outside the city, and it is also a paradise that people yearn for. Everyone is burdened with too much pressure and running on the road of life. It is too difficult to release these pressures. But when you come to this grassland and see this picturesque scenery, it's like drinking two or two glasses of white wine, indulging in this world and forgetting everything. No matter how much trouble he has in this world, at this moment, there are only beautiful scenery and only happiness that belongs to him. This is life.
So enjoy the journey! Let go of your excitement! Open all the windows, open the skylight, let the grassland wind blow over your face, and let the golden sunshine sprinkle warmth and happiness into your heart. Play a fast-paced grassland song, and then sing it out loud. You will feel that all the pressure is released at this moment, and life is full of beauty and hope.
Driving further north, a white door crossed Paradise Road. From a distance, it looks like the last holy door to heaven, and behind it is another world. This is Ashatu Stone Forest.
We stopped in front of this door. Because it is the top of the slope, it feels like the sky is approaching, and the clouds are within reach. It's already noon after we took photos here. After lunch in the car, I entered the Ashatu Stone Forest Scenic Area.
Ashatu Stone Forest is mainly formed by the creation and excavation of ice sheet glaciers and the erosion of a large number of glacial meltwater formed when glaciers melt, so it is called "Glacial Stone Forest". Tickets for Shilin Scenic Area 120 yuan and sightseeing tickets for 20 yuan. * * There are three scenic spots. The first scenic spot needs to be visited on foot, and the second and third scenic spots need to be visited by sightseeing bus. Ashatu has towering mountains, flowing water, strange rocks and beautiful Kaze Jun trees, which makes people linger. A stone scene, viewed from different directions, will produce different visual effects. In different light, there will be different associations and imaginations. At this time, you will be deeply moved by the greatness and magic of nature.
We visited the Shilin Scenic Area for about three hours. During the period, the clouds became thicker and thicker, the weather gradually turned cloudy, and it rained a little from time to time. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking around, only the southwest horizon parted a dark cloud to reveal a ray of sunshine, and my heart was inevitably lost. I look forward to the beautiful Dada Road in the future, how can there be no blue sky, white clouds and sunset! With regret, we drove away from Ashatu Stone Forest and ran all the way along Dada Road to Dali.
It rained all the way down from Shilin. Maybe it's the fatigue of the journey, and we don't have much excitement at this time. With the dew falling on the grassland, the car played back Brunbayar's "Pastoral", and the world became so quiet.
After changing from Re 'a Line to Da 'an Line, we drove all the way to Dali. The next trip became extremely exciting. Thanks to God's care, we are heading southwest, and the weather is getting better and better. It's almost out of the last dark cloud overhead, and there is a beautiful golden world ahead. Sighing the changeable weather in Inner Mongolia, the sky in the east is gloomy, but the sky in the west is sunny. We are bathed in the breeze and drizzle, and also in the sunshine. After driving to the destination, our mood became clearer and clearer. The front is sunshine and hope. This is the feeling that travel brings us, which can make us feel the wonderful world and the happiness of life. The rainbow appeared behind us inadvertently. My family and I are boiling! This is the first time in my life that I have seen a rainbow across the sky on such a vast land. It's beautiful! Nature has given us the purest ribbons in the world, and everything in front of us has moved me!
The beautiful and colorful trip to Dada Road arrived as scheduled. The sunset glow dyed the sky red with colorful sunset glow, and the sky washed by rain was blue and clear. Under the sky, Gong Geer grassland presents us with flatness and vastness. Unlike the grassland in Ashatu, the grassland in Dali is Ma Pingchuan. You put Gong Er in your heart, and you put the whole world in.
