I plan to travel to Inner Mongolia in August, about 5 days. I asked enthusiastic netizens to help me design tourist routes, including bus routes.

Inner Mongolia is very big, and the grassland characteristics are different from place to place. There are too many places to list. Since you started from Shandong, I will give you some places with good scenery, good transportation and good infrastructure.

Since we are visiting Inner Mongolia, we should see the vast grasslands. Not on the dam or anywhere. Bashang is a grassland in Hebei, with many trees on it, which is not as fun as Inner Mongolia.

Keshikten is good. There are too many scenic spots to list. You can search Keqi Travel Network on Baidu, which has an introduction. I'll give you a necessary route.

First, you must go to Beijing by bus. Then take a bus from Beijing Liuliqiao bus station to Keqi. After arriving at Keqi, take a bus to Huanggangliang Forest Farm (the highest peak in Daxing 'anling with beautiful forest), where there is a resort. Then take a bus to Shilin (there are also resorts). Huanggang Liang and Shilin are on the edge of the grassland, and it takes two hours to walk to the grassland. There is a bus to the grassland in Keqi County. Then ask. Dali Lake is also good, it is a big lake on the grassland. There is a shuttle bus to the county seat. These three scenic spots are enough for you to play. You can learn the rest online. Anyway, the most beautiful place in Keqi is the middle of the road from Huanggang Liang to Shilin, which is particularly beautiful, regardless of the forest and grassland. The fish in Dali Lake is delicious, grilled fish and kebabs are both delicious and not expensive.

Huanggang Liang and Shilin are in the same direction, so they take a bus. There is a Tongxing town halfway, where you can stay in a hotel, rest and wait for the bus. Dali Lake is not in the same direction. You must take a bus back to the county first, or you can take a bus at Huanggangliang Forest Farm to Baiyin Aobao Shapi Spruce Forest Farm, where there is a shuttle bus to Dali Lake.

After passing the Stone Forest, you can take a bus from Tianhe Garden next to the park to the General Department, and then take a bus to Xiwuqi, which is the most beautiful grassland scenery along the way. Then arrive at Xiwuqi, and you can see the surrounding scenic spots. Take a shuttle bus or a taxi. The most fun is Banla Mountain, and Genghis Khan looks at the mountain. There is a direct bus to Beijing in Xiwuqi. Then you can come back.

Recommended scenic spots are: Huanggang Liang, Shilin and Banla Mountain. These three are the most classic. If you have time, you can finish other things. I checked online, and there are many scenic spots in this area, all of which are very interesting. As for where the grasslands and forests are the most beautiful, these are the three places I mentioned.
