Where is the closest self-driving trip from Qingdao to Inner Mongolia? How many kilometers is it? What attractions can I go to? Thank you.

Qingdao to Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, is probably the closest and has the best grassland scenery, about 1,200 kilometers. There are quite a lot of attractions,

Reference route: Qingdao---Beijing---Weichang---Ulanbutong Grassland---Jingpeng---Dalinoer Lake---Baiyin Aobao ---Ashatu Stone Forest---Jingpeng---Qingshan---Yulongsha Lake---Chifeng---Beijing---Qingdao

1. Ulan Butong Grassland is located in The southernmost point of Keshiketeng Banner is across the river from Saihanba Forest Farm in Weichang County, Hebei Province, and is only more than 300 kilometers away from Beijing. Ulan Butong is part of the Mulan Paddock in the Qing Dynasty. It is famous for the Emperor Kangxi commanding the Qing army in the battle against Galdan. It has also become a famous film and television location base at home and abroad for its charming European-style grassland scenery. This is an area where hills and plains intersect, and forests and grasslands are organically combined. It has both the elegance and beauty of the south and the rugged and powerful masculinity of the north. It has the beauty of the south and the north. Suitable for all seasons and with views everywhere, it is the home of photography, a natural gallery, and an open-air studio.

2. Dali Lake Tourist Area is located in the northwest of Heshiketeng Banner, 280 kilometers away from Chifeng City and 90 kilometers away from Xilinhot City. It is a comprehensive national nature reserve that mainly protects rare birds and the lakes, wetlands, grasslands, sandy lands, woodlands and other ecosystems on which they depend. In July 1998, the reserve was officially approved and listed. It has been included in the list of "Important Wetlands in Asia". There are diverse ecosystems in the reserve, including platform plateau vegetation, lake plain grassland vegetation, low wetland vegetation, and sandy sparse forest grassland vegetation. Dalinol is also a huge volcano group and is part of the Keshiketeng Global Geopark. Dali Lake is the core of the nature reserve, with a water area of ??240 square kilometers, a water reserve of 1.6 billion cubic meters, and a water depth of 10-13 meters. It is a Suda-type brackish water lake and the third largest lake in Inner Mongolia.

3. Baiyin Aobao Nature Reserve is located in Keshiketeng Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, with a total area of ??13,862 hectares. The reserve was established in 1979 with the approval of the Revolutionary Committee of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It is a nature reserve with the sandy spruce forest ecosystem as its main protection object. This area is located on the southeastern edge of the Mongolian Plateau, on the grassland in the northeastern part of the Hunshandake Sandy Land. It is located in the interlaced plant distribution zone of Northeast my country, North China and the Greater Khingan Mountains. The landform types in the area are mainly sandy land, low mountains, hills and river valleys. The altitude The height is 1300-1500 meters, and the plants are mainly Mongolian. According to incomplete statistics, there are 460 species of higher plants in 239 genera and 68 families. There is a large area of ??natural sandy spruce forest distributed in the area, which is called by academic circles as "the only remaining dark coniferous forest natural biological gene bank in the Inner Mongolia plateau grassland area." The unique geographical location of the reserve also provides wildlife It provides an ideal habitat, breeding and resting place, and forms a relatively complex population of wild animals. The national key protected wild animals distributed within the territory include bustards, gray cranes, swans, demoiselle cranes, red deer, lynx, etc. The establishment of Baiyin Aobao Nature Reserve is of great significance for protecting the natural forest vegetation in the eastern part of the "Three Norths" protected forest system, protecting the local ecological environment and grassland animal husbandry, and studying the origin and differentiation of sand spruce.

4. Ashatu Stone Forest is located on the North Mountain of Keshiketeng Banner in Chifeng City, 325 kilometers away from Chifeng and 105 kilometers away from Jingpeng Town, the seat of the Banner People's Government. To the south is the Huangganliang National Forest Park. Connected, it is one of the eight scenic spots in the Keshiketeng Global Geopark. Ashatu is Mongolian, and the Chinese translation is "precipitous mountain peaks". Ashatu Stone Forest is a rare granite stone forest in the world. It is a relic of the Quaternary glaciers. It is called a geological wonder of the world by experts and is one of the most beautiful places in Keshiketeng. It is an important part of the World Geopark and a national AAAA-level scenic spot.

5. Hot Water Hot Spring is 30 kilometers north of Jingpeng Town and has been developed and utilized for a thousand years. The hot water is mainly distributed on the piedmont alluvial fan skirt on the north bank of the Galadasti River, with a distribution area of ??0.3 square kilometers, a dynamic reserve of 3017 tons/day, and a stable self-flow of hot water of 2592 tons/day. The hot water has a large amount of water inflow and pressure-bearing capacity, and abundant supply sources. It is mainly composed of atmospheric precipitation, pore water, and fissure water that penetrate and circulate along the fault fracture zone. After being heated deep in the earth's crust, it gathers in the water-conducting granite fracture zone. , rising along the cracks to the surface to form hot springs, the water temperature is about 83 degrees Celsius.

6. Qingshan Scenic Area is located on the southeastern edge of the Daxingan Mountains, in the east of Heshiketeng Banner, 25 kilometers away from Jingpeng Town. It is 200 kilometers away from Chifeng city. The total area of ??the scenic spot is more than 30 square kilometers, and the highest peak is 1,574 meters. Mountain rocks formed from granite have formed various geological wonders through Quaternary glacial movements. The top of Qingshan is flat and open, about 800 meters long and 400 meters wide. It is oval in shape and slopes from north to south. It is higher on all sides and low in the middle, with grass and bare rocks coexisting. The exposed hard granite surface on the south side of the mountain top covers an area of ??about 1,000 square meters, carrying more than a dozen "rock mortars", which the locals call "nine cylinders and eighteen pots". The Qingshan mortar group is the largest, best-formed, most diverse, and best-preserved mortar group found in my country and in the world. Regarding the origin of Qingshan mortar, most experts believe that it is the product of glaciation, that is, the ice formation theory.

The theory of ice formation holds that as early as millions of years ago during the Quaternary glaciation period, the green mountains were covered with thick ice, and the glacial meltwater formed under the 1,000-2,000-meter-thick ice sheet had a pressure of 300-400 atmospheres. Pressure, this kind of pressure melt water has huge downward kinetic energy. It carries the rocks to flow and rotate rapidly, and constantly impacts the rocks to form glaciers. The controversial part is that the mortars discovered in the past are mostly distributed in low-lying places such as ice valleys and ice beds, while the Qingshan mortars are distributed on the granite on ridges and mountain tops, which is puzzling. If the ice theory is true, it will inevitably involve the geological community that has been arguing for more than 80 years about the existence of Quaternary glaciers in eastern China. It will also involve issues such as China's ancient environment, ancient climate, ancient landforms, ancient humans, and paleontology. research. Another theory is the wind erosion theory, which believes that between 1800 and 10,000 years ago, there was a "Chifeng Wind Channel" with extremely strong winds, and the "nests" were formed by wind erosion. Although there are different opinions, they all believe that it has extremely high scientific research and tourism value. The Qingshan rock mortar is generally oval, round, spoon-shaped or irregular semi-circular in plan. Its shape is like a mortar, a vat, a bowl, a spoon, a basin, a plate, a cup, or a bucket. Generally, they have a big mouth and a small belly, with a flat bottom, no water inlet around them, and only a water outlet at a low place.

7. Yulongsha Lake Tourist Area is located in Wengniute Banner, 108 kilometers away from Chifeng. From Chida Expressway to Wudan Town, turn to National Highway 205 to Sanxingtala Yulongkou, go right for 30 kilometers and enter Bolongke Scenic Area , a national AAA-level scenic spot, where the famous “China’s First Dragon” was unearthed. Wengniute is Mongolian, which means "kings and saints" and is the name of the Mongolian tribe. In the Yuan Dynasty, this was the fiefdom of Muhuali, the leader of the four heroes of Genghis Khan. Yulongsha Lake Tourist Area is a comprehensive tourist area integrating grasslands, deserts, mountains, lakes and Mongolian customs.
