The best grassland near Datong

The best grassland near Datong is the Gegentala Grassland in Ulanqab.

1. Gegentala is located deep in the Duerbot grassland, 140 kilometers away from Hohhot City in the autonomous region. The asphalt road stretches like a black ribbon to the tourist spot. It is a national tourist attraction. Since it was opened to Chinese and foreign tourists in 1979, it has received more than 40,000 tourists from more than 50 countries and regions, and more than 200,000 domestic tourists. The Gegentala tourist spot holds Naadam Tourism from August 15th to August 25th every year. This is also an excellent time to escape the summer heat.

2. Today's Gegentala grassland is more beautiful and moving, with fertile water and grass, undulating hills, waves of horses, golden clouds of camels and white clouds of sheep swimming in the green sea. The shepherd on horseback holds a thin horse pole in his hand, pointing pointedly at the sky like a spearhead. Traditional yurts and modern yurts complement each other, forming a beautiful and moving picture for the Gegentala grassland.

3. When tourists come here, they can wear Mongolian robes and Mongolian boots, ride on wind-chasing horses, and ride on steady camels to roam on the grasslands; they can enjoy Mongolia against the backdrop of bonfires. National songs and dances; you can taste the mellow and fragrant kumiss, fragrant hand-chopped meat and roasted whole lamb amidst the enthusiastic toasting songs. Based in Aobao, it not only reminds you of the love affair in "Meeting in Aobao", but also broadens your horizons and makes you feel relaxed and happy. The mellow milk tea and traditional dairy products in herdsmen's homes will make you daydream about the life history of the nomadic people. Stay overnight in a yurt and listen to the music. Listen to pastoral songs, raise your head to count the stars, and fall into the embrace of nature. Mongolian traditional horse racing, archery, and wrestling are even more attractive.
