Grassland, desert, volcano and grottoes around Beijing! Let's talk about the prairie nearest to Beijing.

This travel book was found to be too long at first, so it was temporarily divided into three episodes. One for each scenic spot, you can refer to each one and play alone. Remember to keep paying attention! This episode begins with Huanghuagou grassland. )

I went out to play during the National Day holiday, because I came back for a series of business trips after the holiday, and I have no time to share it now. But it doesn't matter. The grasslands, deserts, volcanoes and grottoes that Bian Xiao visited this time are also very suitable for such a three-day holiday.

So I also drove an SUV suitable for young people: Buick Angola GX.

Will you take this long-distance trip to road trip? Whether GX in Angola is as worthy of recommendation as beautiful scenery.

Huanghuagou: the grassland closest to Beijing

Starting from Beijing Xisanqi, it takes about 400 kilometers to reach Huanghuagou Tourist Area. It was the second day of National Day. We went out at 6 o'clock in the morning and successfully avoided the traffic jam.

Walking on the G7, there are not many cars on the road. I have been driving constant speed cruise and lane keeping. Sometimes a little distraction will make the direction deviate, and lane keeping can remind you quickly, and then I will correct your direction immediately. It's a good bonus to have such a configuration when traveling on the road.

When you get off the highway, you have to walk for more than half an hour on the national highway, and there will be a large grassland on the roadside. By the way, remember to bring a thick coat when you come here after September, and wear short sleeves in Beijing in the morning. When I came here, the temperature dropped to a few degrees, mixed with strong winds.

On the national road leading to Huanghuagou Scenic Area, there will be many such locally developed tourist villages (resorts). I suggest you have a full meal here before visiting the scenic spot. Some of them can also live in yurts. Although it is a modern yurt, it is quite distinctive.

After so much preparation, I finally entered the scenic spot. The greenest and most beautiful grassland is 7? In August, it seemed that tickets for the peak season at that time cost more than 200 yuan. Our off-season tickets are only in the early 100, and I feel that this scenery is worth the fare. There are not many people who really know here, and there will not be many people on National Day. I highly recommend you to come. Look at the picture below!

Huanghuagou Scenic Area is a typical alpine grassland terrain with an average elevation of more than 2000 meters. Here, the mountains are undulating, the ravines are criss-crossing, and the two cliffs stand upright and winding. Every summer, it is famous for its gorgeous yellow flowers, so it is called Huanghuagou.

Although we can't see green grass and yellow flowers on this trip, the golden vegetation in autumn has a different flavor!

If you come to Huanghuagou, you can just play around and take a cable car like me. You can also make it in advance and leave it all day. The scenic spot is very large, with two entrances and complete facilities in all aspects. Both entrances have free shuttle service by car and ferry, so you don't have to worry about not going back at the other entrance.

After leaving Huanghuagou, my plan is to stay in Hohhot and stay there for one more day. One is to rest, and the other is to deeply feel Hohhot. I've been here two or three times before, and I've always had a quick meal or left overnight.

High-speed performance: rugged

After driving at a high speed all day, the chassis performance of Angola GX is still quite solid, and high-speed cruising is the feeling of biting the ground all the time. The combination of 1.3T and CVT will be a surprise. I thought a small displacement turbine plus CVT would cause power procrastination. After an operation experience, I found that the power is actually quite fierce, even at low speed, the throttle is accidentally given too much, which will be a bit embarrassing; At high speed, there is no pressure to accelerate overtaking at the legal speed.

Hohhot: I prefer food.

One day is enough for everyone in Hohhot, and there will not be many scenic spots, mainly Jokhang Temple. Because there were too many people during the holiday and there were no parking spaces around, I didn't go in to see it. On the contrary, there is no food left!

Peer partners found this store, Delehai! Specializing in Mongolian vegetables.

According to the store's propaganda, this is the first Mongolian meal, and we queued for two hours just to punch in.

If you don't have to wait in line, you can punch in decisively. The food is delicious and the overall environment is very inner Mongolia. However, if you want to wait in such a long queue, come early to get the number next time. Remember to leave at least two hours in advance.

Steamed dumplings are also essential in Hohhot. As a person who likes jiaozi very much, steamed dumpling skin and mutton stuffing make me intoxicated. Steamed dumplings must be eaten one by one. After biting the steamed dumpling skin, the fresh and oily mutton and boiling juice instantly stimulate your whole body cells. Then have a cold yogurt. The experience of ice and fire is wonderful.

Security configuration: blind spots are hard to see.

I found this function by accident, and its full name is "reversing side early warning system." In complex urban road conditions, it is inevitable that there will be blind spots when reversing. If a moving object approaches on both sides, the vehicle will sound an alarm, and the warning sign in the upper left corner of the above screen will also be displayed on the reversing image. This is a function that our old drivers will also need, which can avoid many accidents.

It was originally an article covering all the scenic spots. I didn't expect the first day's trip to be so long, so I decided to do two more episodes temporarily. After watching Huanghuagou Grassland in this episode, we will go to the desert nearest to Beijing in the next episode. Remember to keep an eye on it!
