Winter Bashang grassland photography spot

The area from more than 0/00 km north of Zhangjiakou in Hebei Province to more than 0/00 km north of Chengde City is collectively called Bashang area. Hongshan Army Racecourse (260 kilometers away from Chengde) under the jurisdiction of Keshiketeng Banner in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, also known as the ancient battlefield of Wulanbutong, is the base camp for photographers' creation and life.

There are many scenic spots on the dam, including Lama Mountain, Jiangjun Paozi, Xida Paozi, Wushu, Cai Wu, Grand Canyon, Huamugou, Hu Jia Bay, Xiaohongshan, Beigou, Sanchakou, Donggou, Heyuan Valley, Chuyan Mountain, Taifeng Lake, Qixing Lake, Tiexiang Road, Yangchanggou and Dali Lake.

Who can believe that there was a battle in such a beautiful place?

Itinerary: Guangzhou-Beijing-Siheyong, Hebei-paddock-mechanical forest farm-Hongshan Army Racecourse-General Paozi

There are K30 trains from Guangzhou to Beijing 1 1: 30, and K96 trains 19: 59. If you don't want to stay in Beijing, it is recommended to arrive in the afternoon, then take the K2559 train from Beijing South Railway Station at 20: 39 and arrive at Siheyong Station in Hebei at around 4 am.

It is said that this train is usually empty, but when we went there, it was a holiday. We didn't book tickets in advance and couldn't buy a train ticket with a seat, so we stood in a crowded carriage for six hours. At first, everyone talked and laughed, saying that they had returned to the military training moment and relived their student days. Who knows that it didn't take long for Huei-fang to take a nap in the corridor, regardless of tenderness. During the period, our senior white-collar Miss Lu was knocked on the head by the flight attendant with a flashlight because she was in the way.

After getting off at Siheyong Station, there are several minibuses heading for the paddock. After arriving at the paddock station, you can transfer to the mechanical forest farm or go directly to Hongshan Army Racecourse. There are more buses going to the forest farm.

There are scenic spots such as Saihan Pagoda and Moon Lake in Forest Farm Forest Park. Tickets must be sold separately. There is also a ski resort, because it is not the destination of our trip, we didn't get off. There is a boundary river opposite the forest farm, which is the boundary of Inner Mongolia. Friends who like photography, it is best to rent a car in the paddock or forest farm and stop to take pictures at any time. Our group rented two jeeps in the forest farm. The two drivers were very kind and took us around the grassland to see the scenery without buying tickets to enter the racecourse.

In the afternoon, a group of us couldn't wait to run to the general's bar. In Mongolian, paozi means lake. Large and small lakes are all over the Bashang grassland, dazzling like pearls. Jiangjun Paozi is the largest Paozi on the dam, which consists of two lakes, big and small. The famous Ulaanbaatar War was decided here. General Tong Guogang of the Qing Dynasty died heroically here. Later, in order to commemorate him, people named this bubble General. It is late autumn, the blue lake is lying quietly on the yellow grassland, and the white clouds are hanging in mid-air. It is tragic to think that this place was once the site of the ancient battlefield where life-and-death struggle took place. I don't know how many people have lost their blood here.

Travel information

Ok: the minibus from Siheyuan to the paddock. Ticket price, 4 yuan. Shuttle bus from paddock to mechanical forest farm 13 yuan. One advantage of taking the shuttle bus is that you don't have to buy a ticket, such as 32 yuan/Ren in the mechanical forest farm and 22 yuan/Ren in the Hongshan Army Racecourse.

Rent a car in the paddock or forest farm, a jeep costs about 200-300 yuan a day. When renting a car, you must rent a jeep. It is best to contact in advance.

Accommodation: Accommodation in tourist season is a little more expensive. Standard room 150 yuan, usually 30 yuan/room. Because the development of Hongshan Army Racecourse is still immature, you can bargain with the owner. In addition, you can also go to Xiaohongshan Village to live with local villagers, just 20 yuan/person, and the accommodation and hygiene conditions are acceptable. You'd better bring your own sleeping bag. You can also bring your own tent in summer, and the grassland is a good place for camping.

Intimate reminder

In June 5438+10, the weather outside the Great Wall turned cold, and the temperature difference between day and night was large. You should bring enough warm clothes. There is a shuttle bus to the paddock as soon as we get out of Siheyong Station, but some ticket sellers offer discounts at random, so you should ask in advance.

"Long gun" stands for "short gun", just to move the shutter in time.

Itinerary: Lama Mountain-Caiwu Mountain-Big and Small Canyon-Huamugou

At 4 o'clock in the morning, we came to the foot of the Lama Mountain in the east of Hongshan Army Racecourse. There are many people who come here to watch the sunrise, most of them carrying camera bags and tripods. Panting, I climbed to the top of the mountain and found that a row of "long guns and short guns" had been erected here. Enthusiasts craned their necks to look at the east, waiting for the first ray of golden light to shine on the earth!

Colorful peaks and large and small canyons are the main attractions that tourists often visit on the dam. It is said that the color here is the most touching at the end of September. Just think of its name!

In fact, the dam is full of beautiful scenery. This time, we found that standing on the hillside on the right side of Cai Wu, the view was wider and there were almost no tourists. Behind the slope, a birch forest is shining with dazzling gold in the sun, which is beautiful!

In the afternoon, we went riding in Xiaohongshan. Most of the horses here are well-trained, so people who ride for the first time can rest assured. People who are good at riding horses can explain to them that they want to race horses, and the price may be higher. There are several cycling routes, such as Hongshan and Jiangjun Paozi. We choose the direction of birch valley.

Huamugou National Forest Park is the birthplace of Luanhe River and Liaohe River, with a total area of 654.38+0.47 million mu. There are patches of birch forests there, and the leaves of birch trees are dyed golden yellow by the afterglow of the sunset. The sheep returning home in the distance fall on the grass like white clouds and flutter slowly. The feeling that this scene gives people is beyond words. Besides taking a deep breath, I kept pressing the shutter after the sheep in a vulgar way, hoping to take enough pictures of this beautiful grassland scenery.

Travel information

Cost: riding on Xiaohongshan is relatively cheap. As it is the tourist season, 30 yuan probably needs 1 hour, and it should be cheaper in the off-season. If the price is guaranteed, a 60-80 yuan. In principle, the longer the time, the cheaper it is.

Love tip: If you want to ride a horse, you must wear gloves. Before getting on the horse, be sure to let the groom check whether the belt is loose, and never put all your feet in the stirrup to avoid accidents. The outdoor wind is strong and the climate is dry, so you should bring more moisturizing skin care products.
