Where is the best place to travel to Zhangbei grassland and Bashang grassland?

Written in front: Bashang is a very seasonal scenic spot, and the scenery varies greatly at different times, and the flow of people is also different. In summer, July and August are the most crowded times, 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, no tickets), Mulan paddock (northwest of Beijing, tickets 130 yuan), Zhangbei Bashang and Guyuan Bashang (northeast of Beijing, no tickets). Fengning and Weichang belong to Chengde City, Hebei Province, while Zhangbei and Guyuan belong to Zhangjiakou City.

Which dam is interesting?

Fengning Dam is the closest dam to Beijing and the most mature dam. The first choice for leisure and summer vacation! Low consumption, excellent quality and many friends. Early development and complete facilities. My mom and dad, warm spring, five thousand years up and down, twenty-five children and a father, and TV dramas such as Sweet Honey were all filmed on Fengning Dam.

There are many trees and 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 the territory of Royal Hunt. Otherwise, how can it be called the Royal Hunting Garden? Many movie and TV themes, such as Princess Zhu Huan and Kangxi Dynasty, were shot on the paddock dam.

Zhangbei Bashang 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 expressway in Rizo, Grassland Tianlu is only 90 kilometers away from Fengning Dam and Guyuan Dam.

Guyuan Bashang is close to Beijing, and its reception capacity and supporting facilities need to be strengthened. Because it is close to Fengning Dam, tourists mainly drive 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 borders of Inner Mongolia, such as Weichang and Chifeng, Fengning and Duolun, Guyuan and Xiwuqi.

minimum duration

Are Fengning Bashang and the first grassland in northern Beijing the same place?

The first grassland in the north of Beijing and Fengning Bashang are the same place, located in the northwest of Fengning Manchu Autonomous County in Hebei Province, with a total area of 350 square kilometers and 280 kilometers away from Beijing in the south. It is the natural grassland closest to the capital, so it is named the first grassland in northern Beijing. It is an important part of Bashang grassland. Mongolian calls this place "the sea left on the map", which means a place with aquatic plants. Average elevation1487m.

Why choose Fengning Dam?

The distance is close, the consumption is relatively economical, especially the cost of riding horses is the most favorable among several dams, and the quality of horses is also the best among several dams. There are no tickets for the scenic spots, and all the scenic spots are mainly natural scenery. Specially 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. If it takes 2-3 days to go back and forth, Fengning Dam is the best choice for you.

The average elevation on the dam is about 1500- 1800 meters, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. At noon, the temperature is about 25-28 degrees Celsius, and in the morning and evening, it is about 17- 18 degrees. Ultraviolet rays are strong, so pay attention to sun protection.

Tell the truth.

When you are still worried about the extreme high temperature in the city, you can usually wear only half sleeves when you leave, but because of the large temperature difference between morning and evening on the dam, you must prepare a coat. Ordinary half sleeves can be worn 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 sports shoes, especially don't wear high heels to play on the dam. Sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, umbrella, etc. I should bring it.

Talking about food

To eat, the first choice is the authentic roast whole sheep in Bashang. It must be killing the roast prairie sheep now, eating one layer and roasting another, which is delicious. People can roast a leg of lamb or a lamb chop less. There are also Mongolian hand-grabbed meat, mutton hot pot, stewed beef, roast beef jerky, Mongolian milk tea and so on. There are all kinds of wild vegetables, such as bracken, yellow flowers, mushrooms, Halahai and so on, which are pure natural and pollution-free, and of course there is no shortage of home cooking. However, the food in the north is generally partial in taste, so you must inform the restaurant in advance if you like light food.

Talking about shopping

With convenience, there are many on the dam. There are a lot of roast beef jerky and various dairy products. The packaging specifications of grassland handicrafts, especially grassland wine, range from 2 Liang to 10 Jin, which is very rich and easy to carry. There are also some tourists who will buy live sheep and pigs on the dam and give gifts on holidays. This is also a good choice.

Talk about life.

Bashang is very different from other tourist attractions, with strong seasonality and no comparability with other destinations. Basically, hotels, resorts and farmhouses are only open for 3-4 months a year, and they are closed at other times.

Advantages of booking in advance: low price, large room type or floor selection space, and guaranteed room. I will give you a lot of good advice before going out and get ready, especially in the peak season. It is hard to find a room on weekends, and people often live in cars.
