At the end of this holiday, I finally made time and decided to take my children to appreciate the beauty of early autumn in the grassland. I have been hesitating to miss the so-called most beautiful summer scenery in the grassland, should I go there? Then I thought about it, no matter what, the grassland must have its unique charm and beauty at different times!

So the trip to Ulagai was finally decided!

Go all the way north, out of Shandong, into Hebei, Tianjin, then through Hebei, and finally into Inner Mongolia. Looking at the map of China every day, I don’t know how big China is. Only by actually walking through it can it be engraved in my heart. When I found Ulagai on the map, there was only a small dot. I had no idea how vivid and mysterious this place, which people call paradise on earth, was. It attracted me deeply, tempted me, and made me wonder. I traveled thousands of miles to get to it. Every inch of the ground beneath your feet appears real and vivid. Every patch of sky above our heads looks beautiful and full of charm.

After entering the border of Hebei Province, Dongying, which is a flat river, gradually has more mountains, and there are many more tunnels on the road. After leaving Hebei and entering Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, the mountains gradually decrease and the air It's surprisingly good. The blue sky, white clouds, and large tracts of golden sunflowers on both sides of the road make everything pleasing to the eye.

In addition, there is another obvious difference after entering Inner Mongolia, that is, the road signs on both sides of the road are different from other places. Mongolian like earthworms replace the Chinese pinyin, which is very interesting. local characteristics. Even the place names are not something I can remember at a glance. They are very long and difficult to remember. They also have Inner Mongolian characteristics, such as Prince Kalaqin's Mansion, Zhaowuda, etc.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, we arrived in Linxi County. It was already completely dark. Outside the car window, the unique smell of grass on the grassland, mixed with the smell of horses, cattle and sheep, hit our nostrils. This is something you can’t feel in even the most beautiful photos.

The car drove directly to the accommodation. After everyone settled down, we went to eat. We looked at a table full of sumptuous dishes, including Inner Mongolia’s unique sea chili peppers (same pronunciation) and pig-killing vegetables. In fact, After a day of running around and working hard, our appetite was indeed a bit lacking. Everyone tasted the food tasteless, so we barely filled our stomachs and returned to the hotel to wash up and sleep.

I don’t know whether it was because of the smell of disinfectant or because of the new environment. I felt like sleeping but not sleeping, waking up but not waking up all night long. I was in a daze until about 5 o’clock, when I woke up completely. I am waiting eagerly to embrace the real grassland and see the yurt.
