written before: Bashang is a scenic spot with strong seasonality, and the scenery is quite different at different times, and the flow of people is also different. Summer July and August are the most crowded time, especially on weekends.

where is Bashang

Bashang is a general term, which refers to the border between northern Hebei and Inner Mongolia, mainly concentrated in Chengde and Zhangjiakou. Including Fengning Bashang (closest to Beijing, due north of Beijing, without tickets), Mulan paddock (northwest of Beijing, with tickets to 13 yuan), Zhangbei Bashang and Guyuan Bashang (northeast of Beijing, without tickets). Fengning and Weichang belong to Chengde City, Hebei Province, while Zhangbei and Guyuan belong to Zhangjiakou City.

which dam is fun

Fengning dam is the closest dam to Beijing and the most mature dam. First choice for leisure and summer vacation! Consumption is not high There are many horses, excellent quality and many friends. Early development, complete supporting facilities. My Father and Mother, Warm Spring, Up and Down for 5, Years, Twenty-five Children and One Dad, TV series Sweet Honey and other TV dramas, all of which were shot on Fengning Dam.

There are many trees and plenty of water on the paddock dam! There is the largest mechanical forest farm in Asia. It is said that trees have been planted since the Qing Dynasty, when it was Royal Hunt's place. Otherwise, how can it be called the Royal Hunting Garden? Many film and television themes, such as Princess Huanzhu and Kangxi Dynasty, were shot on the paddock dam.

Zhangbei Dam is close to Beijing, and its development is a little late, so its reception capacity and supporting facilities need to be strengthened. Zhangbei Grassland Music Festival is a very successful activity in recent years, especially the "Grassland Tianlu" at the junction of Zhangbei and Chongli. With the opening of Rizo Expressway, Grassland Tianlu is only 9 kilometers away from Fengning Dam and Guyuan Dam.

Guyuan dam is close to Beijing, and its reception capacity and supporting facilities need to be strengthened. Because it is very close to Fengning Dam, it is mainly driven by tourists on Fengning Dam.

these four dams are the borders of Hebei province, which means that no matter which dam you go north from, you will eventually reach the boundaries of Inner Mongolia, such as Weichang and Chifeng, Fengning and Duolun, Guyuan and Xiwuqi.

the best time

the best time in summer is from mid-June to the end of August (July-August is the most golden time, so we must make preparations in advance), the best time in autumn is from mid-September to early October, and the best time in winter is from the end of December to mid-February.

Are Fengning Bashang and Jingbei First Grassland the same place?

Jingbei First Grassland and Fengning Bashang are the same place, located in the northwest of Fengning Manchu Autonomous County, Hebei Province, with a total area of 35 square kilometers and 28 kilometers away from Beijing in the south. It is the natural grassland closest to the capital, hence its name. It is an important part of Bashang grassland. Mongolian calls this place "the sea to stay in the map", which means a place with aquatic plants. The average altitude is 1487 meters.

Why choose Fengning Dam

The distance is short and the consumption is relatively economical, especially the riding fee is the most favorable among several dams, and the quality of horses is also the best among several dams. There are no tickets in the scenic spots, and all the scenic spots are mainly natural scenery. It is especially recommended: "Laozhanggou", the most famous cross-country circle, "East Monkey Peak", the highest peak of Yanshan Mountain, Liushugou, Qiansongba Forest Park, Lightning Lake, Lover Valley, Khan Palace and so on. It is most suitable for you to choose Fengning Dam if it takes you 2-3 days to travel back and forth.

Weather conditions

The average elevation on the dam is about 1,5-1,8 meters, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large. At noon, the temperature is about 25-28 degrees Celsius, and it is about 17-18 degrees in the morning and evening, so ultraviolet rays are relatively strong. Pay attention to sun protection.

To put it bluntly,

When you are still worried about the extreme heat in the city, you usually just wear a half sleeve when you leave. However, due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening on the dam, you must prepare a coat. Ordinary half sleeves can be used during the day (you can wear long sleeves if you are afraid of the sun, but it is not hot), and you must wear long sleeves in the morning and evening. If you plan to ride a horse, you can prepare a pair of thin gloves (you can also buy disposable gloves at Bashang Store). Be sure to wear outdoor hiking shoes or sneakers, especially not to wear high heels to play on the dam. Sunglasses, hats, sunscreen, umbrellas, etc. should be brought.

Talking about food

The first choice is the authentic roasted whole sheep in Bashang. You must kill the roasted prairie sheep now and eat one layer of roast, which is delicious. People can roast a leg of lamb or a lamb chop less. There are also Mongolian hand-picked pork, mutton hotpot, beef stew, grilled beef jerky, Mongolian milk tea, etc., as well as all kinds of wild vegetables, such as bracken, yellow flowers, mushrooms, Halahai and so on, which are purely natural and pollution-free, and of course there is no shortage of various home-cooked dishes. However, the general taste of food in the north is biased, so you must inform the restaurant in advance if you like light food.

Talking about shopping

It's convenient to take, and there are many on the dam. There are a lot of grilled beef jerky and all kinds of dairy products, and grassland handicrafts, especially grassland wine, are packed in sizes ranging from 22 kilograms to more than 1 kilograms, which is very rich and convenient to take. There are also some tourists who will buy live sheep and loose pigs on the dam and give gifts during the holidays. This is also a good choice.
