When it comes to grassland, I believe many people will think that this is grassland and people live in yurts. In fact, there are also small towns in grasslands with hotels. If you don’t like the poor accommodation environment, you can choose Live in a county or small town.

If you want to feel the tranquility of nature, you can choose to live in a tent or yurt. Because there are no neon lights in the city on the grassland, it is very quiet and relatively dark. The only light is the starry sky. You can experience this by living in a yurt or tent. Eat mutton

The local mutton is more delicious. If you are eating boiled mutton, you only need to cook it with boiled water, then sprinkle with pepper and salt, and you can eat it directly. It is recommended to stay in a farmhouse and taste the mutton slaughtered by local herdsmen. Because the water plants on the grassland are more abundant, especially in summer, the mutton and vegetables are relatively fresh and tender.

Nowadays, many farmyards grow their own vegetables and use farmyard manure. They have a very vegetable flavor and are difficult to eat in the city. Go to mountain wild vegetables

Day lily, bracken, halahai, daihuang, mountain leek, mountain celery. The most important thing is mushrooms. You can pick mushrooms when you come to the grassland in August. Most mushrooms are edible and can be brought to your residence for processing by the hotel. They are pure green wild mushrooms. Specialties

Some of the roast beef jerky sold on the grassland is made of pork. It is not recommended to buy beef jerky in scenic spots. Wine

To overwhelm a donkey with wine, it is mostly mixed with wine. Come to the grassland and drink some highland barley wine. Grassland King, Grassland White, Taomagan and Erguotou are quite good. Tips
