This National Day, we happened to take a self-driving trip to the grassland in western Beijing. We took the Beijing-Tibet Expressway and drove for about an hour and a half. Due to the epidemic, it is more troublesome to get out of and into Beijing, so we went to The closest place to Beijing where you can see the grassland. Of course, when the epidemic prevention policy is relaxed in the future, you can also go to the Sky Grassland to see it. It is not too far from Beijing, but it is a bit troublesome to cross provinces~
