Inner Mongolia has many grasslands and deserts. If you don’t go there, you will never know how charming the scenery is. The beauty of deserts is different from that of grasslands.
Isn't this the scene described in Wang Wei's "The solitary smoke stretches straight across the desert, and the sun sets over the long river"?
Preface: This trip to Inner Mongolia fulfilled my travel dream of just leaving.
Although the time was short, it allowed me to experience the first real "self-driving trip" without family around me since I grew up. Why did this trip come true so smoothly? ①. Taiyuan is really far away from Inner Mongolia.
It’s too close. ②. The five of us who love photography can no longer find a venue in Taiyuan where we can shoot big movies (although the current level is still average) ③. We want to go out to a place where there are no longer just mountains and rivers.
Place. My favorite photo from this trip to Xilamuren Grassland. The inadvertent capture should be the most beautiful moment for everyone. The horse running... Me in the rapeseed flowers ~ Tian Xiaoer with a good figure ~ charming.
Smiling sister Jing, who is very good at posing, is a versatile young girl. For traveling with five people, renting a car is the best option. It saves time and allows you to go wherever you want. It should be noted that you must not speed on the way.
It will be a little troublesome to deal with it if you don’t come back~ And the most important thing is that you must rent an SUV when going to Inner Mongolia. I have to say that the speed bumps in Inner Mongolia are really not very high. You can only see them when you are driving very fast, and the result is disastrous.
As you can imagine, those who drive their own cars should be more careful. It makes me feel sad just thinking about it. No wonder there are obviously many more SUVs than cars along the way in Ordos, and it feels like driving an SUV on the extremely wide and flat avenues of Inner Mongolia.
It's great. Route Taiyuan----Ordos Dongsheng District----Xiangshawan----Hohhot----Xilamuren Grassland----Taiyuan items all daily necessities and photography-related clothing,
Props, etc. This time we went to take pictures, so everyone actively prepared things for taking pictures before leaving, including a white gauze, a red gauze, a black gauze, a hat, a headdress, a gauze scarf, a shawl, sunglasses, etc.
I have everything. I specially bought a transparent umbrella, which can be used not only for taking pictures, but also to protect me from the rain when it rains. Tian Xiaoer is afraid of the cold, so he brought a thin coat in spring and autumn to a down jacket in winter. Finally, he went to the grassland.
It was raining that day and the down jacket came in handy. All the good things on the first day started from this point on. After lunch, we set off for a 510-kilometer, 7-and-a-half-hour drive. It felt so close to the sky, and I felt like I was in heaven.
It feels like the long tunnel has no end and the blue sky and white clouds accompany me all the way. After entering Inner Mongolia, the Rongwu Expressway is closed, so I can only get off the highway and take the 109 National Highway.
We arrived nearly two hours later than expected. No matter where we were, we still didn’t forget to take pictures when we saw the beautiful scenery. There were too many cars on the national highway and we couldn’t move while sitting in the car.
Look and take pictures. There will always be unexpected surprises and accidents during the journey at Ordos Tianyu Hotel. Because the roads in China are not easy to travel, we stayed here for a long time. Seeing that it was getting dark, we couldn’t wait any longer.
After going down, we turned around to see where there was a road and tried walking. But we couldn't go around it. We were all hungry, so we stopped in front of a nearby small store. Fortunately, we met a local car and stopped here.
After asking the driver, we unexpectedly met a kind person. Since the navigation couldn't guide us to the road he pointed out, and it was still a little far, he took us all the way to another highway entrance, and we successfully re-entered the highway.
Well, this time we arrived in Dongsheng smoothly. It was already 10pm when we arrived, so we decided to drop off our luggage at the hotel before going out to find food.
It looks good~A street with few people~Gerile Grandma Milk Tea House Gerile Grandma has already closed, so we have to wait until the next day to have breakfast.
There are many barbecue restaurants in Malt Town that are packed with people, and you have to wait in line for a table.
We were extremely hungry, so we finally chose this restaurant at the end of the street with fewer people. We brewed our own beer and grilled lamb chops, yellow beer, 26 yuan/liter.
The taste is okay. Compared with those foamy beers on the market, it is fresher and smoother in the mouth, with a slightly bitter aftertaste.
There are no lamb legs here, only frozen beef ribs.
