More than 300 years ago, Saihanba was covered with deep virgin forests and vast and beautiful grasslands, where wild animals haunted. Can be said to be unique. During the reign of Kangxi, Saihanba was even enclosed as a Mulan paddock, and a large-scale Royal Hunt event was held every year or every other year, also known as Mulan Autumn.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Hundreds of years later, Saihanba suffered a disaster. By the time New China was founded, the former Royal Hunting Garden had lost its elegance, and the virgin forest had disappeared, reaching a dead silence and desolation where birds could not reach and yellow sand hid their faces. With the passage of time, Saihanba seems to have faded out of people's sight. In 200 1 year, the state sent a scientific research team to explore the causes of sandstorms along the desertification route in Hebei province. Unexpectedly, I came across a mirage in the desert, where the forest is green, the natural lake is picturesque and the lake is full of wild flowers. Although it is midsummer, there is refreshing air and refreshing autumn scenery.
This mirage is the long-forgotten Saihanba. This is a myth. The magnificent Royal Hunting Garden was trampled out by history, but miraculously reappeared in front of us. What is even more touching is that the dense forest is not natural, but planted by two generations of Saihanba for 40 years. Once discovered, this beauty will be widely spread. In the current year, there have been tourists here except for being isolated in the ice for seven months. Saihanba is about 500 kilometers away from Beijing, and there is no train. Most tourists drive, set off on Friday, ride across the grassland on Saturday and return to Beijing on Sunday. Depart at 7: 00 in the morning, take Jingmi Road out of Gubeikou, take National Highway 10 1, turn left at Shuangta Mountain, follow the second-class highway to Weichang County, continue northbound, and the bus will enter the vast forest of Saihanba. Linhai is located at the southernmost tip of Saihanba. Come here in summer, facing the lush green, there is only one road that is not wide and runs through the whole forest area.
When you climb the Saihan Tower, you can see it from a distance. The blue sky is as clear as washing. The tree seems to face the cloud, and the cloud seems to hang on the treetop. The beautiful forest rises and falls with the mountain, and its magnificence is beyond description. Autumn is more beautiful, and the golden flowers all over the mountain are dyed by autumn, attracting painters and photographers from all walks of life for fear of missing this rare scenic spot. The average elevation of Bashang grassland is 1700 meters, and the summer climate is cool and pleasant, and the highest temperature generally does not exceed 25 degrees Celsius.
Compared with the hot summer sauna in Beijing, it can be said to be a paradise on earth. Along the way, the northeast of Saihanba is a vast grassland, bordering Inner Mongolia, which has natural wild interest and won the favor of film and television people. The location of many plays, such as The Legend of the Condor Heroes and Princess Zhu Huan, was shot here. You must ride a horse when you come to the grassland. Many people use this poem to describe the romantic feeling of riding a horse on the grassland, but I hope to capture Kangxi's lofty sentiments of looking at the sky and licking the ground and watching the peaks under his feet. The best horse here should be the military horse in the military stable. They are well-trained, calm and self-controlled, and most of them will not be scared by the red yarn flying by the riders. Herders' own horses are much more timid.
When riding a horse, they must be careful not to let the clothes fly, and the clothes should not be too dazzling, so as not to scare the horse. But then again, don't panic when riding a horse in Saihanba, even if you accidentally fall off your horse. Local herders often say that riding wet shoes and falling on the grass will save you, which means that the grass on the dam is deep and leafy, and it will hold you and won't hurt you. According to the three-day schedule, riding on the grassland will take about three or four hours at most, and then you can see the beautiful lake and sunset on the grassland. Qixing Lake is located three kilometers north of the forest farm, surrounded by green hills and trees. At first, seven small lakes were connected and arranged like big lakes.
Some wild clubs are always willing to camp by the lake, not only because the sunrise can be photographed through the morning fog at dawn, but also because it is wonderful to hear the wind on the grassland and the sound of waterfowl in the silent night. Jiangjunpaozi is located in the south of Ulan Bator (meaning red urn-shaped mountain). It consists of two lakes, one large and one small. The surrounding grass is beautiful, the lake is ecologically balanced and there are many kinds of wild fish.
On a sunny day, fish and gravel are clearly visible. Legend has it that this is the famous ancient battlefield in Ulan. In the 30th year of Kangxi, galdan launched a rebellion, annexed Gurkha Mongolia, then advanced into Monan Mongolia and invaded Wulanbutong. General Tong Guogang, Kangxi's uncle, commanded the Qing army, set up red cannons and fired shells many times to destroy Camel City. Gordan had to flee. However, Tong Guogang was unfortunately killed in the battlefield, and his blood stained the bubble water. In memory of this outstanding general, later generations called this place General Bubble. If there is enough time, in addition to these introductions, there are many beautiful scenery of Saihan Dam that will be discovered by different eyes. Then you go back to your residence with full harvest, full of stars, singing and dancing around the bonfire, and tasting delicious Mongolian roast whole sheep. This day seems short, but it is extremely rich in content. The happy weekend is basically over. Have a rest and have a good dream.
On Sunday morning, you can go to Beijing without regret. 055-79000 is a good choice, indicate the accommodation camp and stay at the herdsmen's home. If you like to live comfortably, the hotel here will be better, but you must book in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to have a vacancy on weekends, and the price will definitely be high. Recommended property: Saihanba Hotel: 03 14-7802476 Mulan Hotel: 03 14-7802525 Saihanba Guest House: 03 14-7802447 Transportation to Saihanba If there is no private car, renting a car together is also a good choice. There are also ways to save money, but don't be afraid of trouble: take the No.2559 train from Beijing to Chifeng, get off at Siheyong Station (4 1 yuan, 7 hours), then take a minibus to Weichang County (5 yuan, 30 minutes), and then transfer to Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm (13 yuan, 4 hours); It is more convenient to go back to Beijing (Xizhimen) by coach than to go there.
1. Saihanba has a great temperature difference in the morning and evening. Although it is midsummer, you must bring a set of thick and wear-resistant long-sleeved trousers, otherwise it will be inconvenient and uncomfortable in the morning and evening and when riding.
The sunshine on the plateau is strong, so don't be blinded by the cool breeze. Sunscreen, sunglasses and sun hat are also necessary. Take more drinking water and snacks on the road in case of emergency.
Friends who like to sleep outdoors and travel at night, don't forget to bring flashlights and anti-mosquito ointment. 5. To be an environmentally friendly traveler, the car should pay attention to not rolling grass as much as possible; Stay as far away from the forest area as possible when riding a horse, and actively refuse to buy wild animals that are prohibited from hunting or gathering.

Bashang Tourism Note: Mulan paddock is located at the junction of Weichang County, Hebei Province and Hexigten Banner, Inner Mongolia, also known as Saihanba National Forest Park, including mechanical forest farm, Yudaokou Ranch and Hongshan Army Horse Farm.
The pasture is vast, the water plants are abundant, and the cattle and sheep are in groups, which is a veritable forest grassland. In fact, Bashang refers to the area north of Zhangjiakou and Chengde in Hebei Province, including Zhangbei Bashang, Guyuan Bashang, Fengning Bashang and Weichang Bashang. It starts from Zhangbei in the west, passes through Guyuan and Fengning in the middle, and reaches the paddock in the east. Most of them are in Hebei Province, including Zhangbei, Guyuan, Fengning and Mulan paddock, among which Fengning developed the earliest. Mulan means whistle deer in Manchu, because Mulan paddock has been the hunting ground of Qing emperors since ancient times. Saihanba is the pearl of Mulan paddock. The Mongolian language is Saihanda Bahanshen, which means beautiful Gaoling. There are many scenic spots in Mulan paddock, such as Birch Valley, Jiangjun Paozi (some lake locals call Paozi) and Caiwu. In fact, once you enter the paddock, you will be very excited. Whether the scenic spot has become unimportant. Attention: Clothing: The temperature in Mulan paddock is low. Even in summer, you need to wear pants.
In winter, we must take measures to prevent cold and freeze, and bring enough winter clothes, hats and gloves. It is best to wear hiking shoes, sports shoes, etc. Food: mainly beef and mutton. The resort has a restaurant, which is more sanitary. The most distinctive features are roast whole sheep and braised pork, and the taste depends on each process. Accommodation: there are many hotels, Dujia village and mountain village. Accommodation is not a problem. Road trip to Saihanba, road trip: Jingcheng 10 1 National Highway is normal, with one lane in one direction, 220km. There are more cars and some roads built. The secondary highway from Chengde to paddock is in good condition, with one direction and two lanes, 140 km. There are not many cars, the most smooth part of the journey. Panshan Road, the secondary road from the paddock to Qipanshan to Saihanbamen, is narrow, with one lane in one direction and 55km. There are not many cars, there are many corners, so slow down. Saihanba Gate-Panshan Road, Shashi Road, Shiban Road, Broken Asphalt Road, Mechanical Forest Farm Asphalt Road, 30 kilometers, with complicated road conditions. Mechanical forest farm-Hejie gravel road, 10 km. Hejie-Hongshan Army Racecourse Asphalt Road, 7 kilometers.
Good road conditions and few cars. Toll: Toll: 10 1 National Highway to Bashike Camp 10 yuan, Chengde 5 yuan (if you take the outer ring road), and the outer line 10 yuan. Admission: 33 yuan/person in Saihanba National Park, free of charge. 20 yuan/person at the gate of the racecourse, the car is free. Except Princess Lake 15 yuan/person, there is no charge for scenic spots such as cars. On the way back, from the forest farm to the Moon Lake in front of Saihanba Park, 20 yuan/person, it is strongly recommended not to go to 3 yuan (nothing, there are archery pavilions and balloons by the lake. I really regret going there. Hebei people are not as real as Mongols, and there are so many scenic spots on the dam without extra charge. A gap. ) Eat: There is nothing to eat. Maybe I didn't eat either.
Restaurants are not cheap. Most breakfasts include 5 yuan, 10 yuan, flower rolls, porridge, eggs and pickles, and 10 yuan's milk tea and milk tofu. Alive: We are still alive.
Most of the inns and hotels in the military horse farm have no heating, so it will be difficult to have no heating at this time or in the future. It's cold at night. I dare not live in a farmhouse, because people there don't like cleanliness. It looks like they haven't bathed for three months. Maybe I'm too picky and shouldn't care too much. This kind of room is usually 100-200 yuan. The hotel buildings there are all two stories high, and the outside of the building is land, so the inside of the building is full of soil and mud. I don't know why they don't wipe a concrete floor in front of the door. Beijing Military Region Hostel looks clean and the price is the most expensive. The standard room is 280 yuan, but there is no heating. You can consider going in summer. Ok: I'd better drive myself. Because when you get there, it's inconvenient to go anywhere without a car.
But there is a local car rental, Beijing Jeep 2020, with driver, 250 yuan/half a day. Many drivers rent 2020, so it is really inconvenient to drive to many places. Near Jiapigou, we saw a Buick. Everyone on the Buick got off and picked up stones on the road. The chassis is too low to cross the big stone. However, we also saw a Li Xia car with a Beijing license plate driving mercilessly on the hard road. Others: the temperature difference between day and night on the dam is large, so take more clothes. Bargaining on horseback generally ranges from 20 to 40. We rode it three times, the cheapest one hour in 20 yuan and the most expensive one in 30 yuan. The cheapest horse is the best. Well, that's all I remember.
