How to arrange the trip from Beijing to Chengde?

Self-help tour? I just got back from there on May Day. Jingcheng Expressway has not been fully opened. You can take a section of Jingcheng Expressway to Miyun, and then follow the signs and take the national highway. No detours. Keep walking. Leave Bakers camp for the time being. After the toll station (the kind between cities), you can get on the Jingcheng Expressway later. When you get to Chengde, look at the road signs, turn left and cross the bridge into Chengde. About 2-3 and a half hours. All right. As long as you get to this point, you can go to summerhill even on foot. . . Chengde city is very small. Most of them are summer resorts. You can come back the same day if you are not too tired just going to the summer resort. If you go to Waiba Temple again, you can rest for one night. By the way. Tickets for the summer resort are expensive, and there are no student tickets.

Chengde City is located in the northeast of Hebei Province, in the connecting transition zone between North China and Northeast China. City * * * governs eight counties and three districts, with an area of nearly 40,000 square kilometers and a total population of more than 3.4 million. Chengde Municipal People's Government is located on the banks of Wulie River in Shuangqiao District, 435 kilometers away from the provincial capital Shijiazhuang and 256 kilometers away from Beijing.

Here are the ways to get there by train:

On the northern line of Beijing, there are three dams in Hebei Province from west to east, which intersect with Inner Mongolia, namely

1, Zhangbei Bashang (north of Zhangjiakou Bashang)

2. On Fengning Datanba

3. On the paddock dam.

On the first dam, the grassland is general and there are fewer tourists;

Fengning Daban is a scenic spot that has gradually warmed up in recent years. In recent years, the summer and autumn tourist seasons are crowded every year, which is not recommended.

Weichang Bashang (also known as Saihanba), under the jurisdiction of Chengde City, Hebei Province, is a newly discovered emerging tourist attraction. Compared with the previous two places, the scenery, climate and scenic area development are incomparable.

Here, according to my personal travel experience in the paddock dam, I introduce some necessary tips on eating, living and entertainment for the reference of travelers who like outdoor and traveling.

(Note: Most of the online travel notes about the paddock dam were published by donkey friends in 2002, 2003 or earlier. Most of the information about accommodation, horseback riding, sightseeing, tips and so on are out of date, and even the situation has changed greatly. First-time travelers should not rely on earlier versions to make plans.

Ok:

Basic route 1: (train+car) Beijing-Siheyong-Weichang County-Mechanical Forest Farm-Hongshan Military Racecourse.

Basic route 2: (train+car) Beijing-Chengde-Weichang County-Mechanical Forest Farm-Hongshan Military Racecourse.

Basic Route 3: (Car) Beijing-Weichang County-Mechanical Forest Farm-Hongshan Military Racecourse

Beijing round-trip train:

Arrive at: Beijing North Railway Station-Siheyong, you can take bus No.2559 (the road from Beijing to Chifeng), leave Beijing North on 2 1: 19, and arrive at 4: 00 the next morning 16. (Following the national train speed increase on April 18 this year, the departure station was changed from Beijing South Railway Station to Beijing North Railway Station)

Return trip: Siheyuan-Beijing North Railway Station. On the day of return trip, you can buy 2560 (the number of trains from Chifeng to Beijing), pass Siheyuan Station after 23 pm and arrive at Beijing North Railway Station at 5 am the next day. You can also buy L 14 at 2 1: 22 pm (Tongliao to Beijing) and leave L 14 the next day. You can also choose to take a long-distance bus back to Beijing at Weichang County Bus Station (South Bus Station) (or transfer to Chengde to return to Beijing).

Siheyong-Weichang County Bus Station (North Bus Station)

Go: You can contact the local driver to pick up the car in advance, or you can take Xiaomian or CMB at the gate of the railway station to the bus station in Weichang County (there are two bus stations in Weichang County, one in the south and one in the north, and a shuttle bus from the north station to the mechanical forest farm). Per head, there is one for 4 yuan. (Siheyong-CMB driver MP: 15, Weichang County+03503142465h: 0314-7840109 car number: Ji HN0956) If you get off the bus, the temporary CMB will go to the paddock. In the peak season, the quotation is basically in 500 yuan for two days (including oil money), and 400 yuan can basically talk for about two days. It should be reminded that if you want to charter a car to their home, you need to talk with them about the two-day tour and scenic spot plan. If there is no agreement, don't charter his car. In addition, if you charter a car to go to the military horse farm, you need to pay the mountain entrance fee of 30 yuan/person, and the shuttle bus does not need to pay this fee).

Return: There are two bus stations in the north and south of Weichang County, and there are CMB and Xiaomian bound for Siheyong Railway Station. Ticket price, 4 yuan. There is basically a car available at any time on the return trip.

Weichang county-machinery forest farm

Arrival: The bus goes up: 5: 30 (the first bus), which runs every half hour. More in the morning and less in the afternoon, and the departure time in the afternoon is not fixed. (Paddock County-Mechanical Forest Farm fare 12 yuan/person, the whole journey is about115km, and the whole journey takes about two and a half hours. After leaving the paddock county, the driver will stop in the front town and let the passengers buy water and dry food. This is a voluntary act and they can have breakfast in the car. To Saihanba, the front section is the ordinary national highway. Halfway there is a long winding mountain road with poor road conditions (and dusty dirt roads). Entering the mechanical forest farm area, the road will be better (asphalt road). A donkey friend can take a nap after getting on the bus. Along the way, it passes through Saihan Pagoda, Baihualin, Moon Lake and other scenic spots, with stops at all stations along the way.

Return: Downbound bus: The first bus in the mechanical forest farm is at 1 1: 30 in the morning, and then every hour until 15: 30 in the afternoon (the last bus). Downward, sometimes it will be late, so you need to be mentally prepared. Fare 12 yuan, the fare for getting on the train will change. If you get on the train at Saihanta, the fare is 10 yuan/person. The descending train is not on time, especially in the afternoon, so passengers should wait at the roadside and station in advance. )

Mechanical forest farm-Hongshan junmachang

Round trip: There are 5 people in our group, and we rented a jeep (except 2 13 or 2020, it is difficult for other cars to adapt to local road conditions). Previously, some netizens posted a travel note on the Internet saying that "there is a shuttle bus from the mechanical forest farm to the Hongshan Army Racecourse". In fact, we have not seen or heard of such a thing in the local area. So don't expect too much of first-time travelers.

Under the kind recommendation of the conductor's sister, we chartered a car to Li Haiting's Hongshan Army Racecourse. Here, thank you for your bus ticketing sister! If it weren't for her recommendation, we might be at a loss when choosing a chartered master's degree. (There are about twenty or thirty drivers lying around the class station in the mechanical forest farm. When they saw the tourists get off the bus, they rushed in at once, pulling and dragging. Flat head, a short man in his thirties and forties, is the head of one of the drivers. He is actually a local punk. Mainly responsible for the work, and then send the list to the driver below and draw from the middle. Be careful, don't look for such a driver, you will get "knife")

Next, insert the advertisement.

Li Haiting, the driver of mechanical forest farm, is strongly recommended to go to Lv You (chartered in 200 yuan/day). The telephone number is 1383 1488097. The model is red 2 13 jeep (5-6 people can sit).

Because on the bus, the driver's sister showed us Li Shifu, so when we got off, we "moved" directly to Li Shifu. The drivers couldn't see the hope and dispersed in succession.

Li Shifu looked at it very kindly and honestly. While others were helping us to stop working, he squatted in the corner flower bed to bask in the sun from a distance, instead of rushing to work like most people, looking as cool as a cucumber. Li Shifu, about 50 years old, is of medium height, with a dark face and stubble. He is wearing a collarless jacket and holding a cigarette. The ash burns very long. He stood up slowly after watching us coming. After a few words, I decided to go to the military horse farm, 50 yuan for one way, which basically saved the bargaining. In fact, the price is very reasonable. Other drivers will drive to 100- 150 yuan (the travel notes of other netizens are also 100- 150). So we didn't go further, because it was already low.

On the way to the military horse farm, at our request, Li Shifu drove around a small circle and went to Taifeng Lake and Qixing Lake. The scenery is average, and the chapters about scenic spots are introduced in detail, so I won't go into details here.

In my opinion, to travel to foreign scenic spots depends on whether a driver is qualified. Apart from excellent skills, the key is whether he can give you directions everywhere and save you money. Li Shifu is such a person. He knows everything along the way. The scenic spots around him are clearly written, 1 1. Finally, before going to Bashang, it is suggested that you don't take the conventional route, otherwise everyone will have to pay the ticket for 20 yuan to enter the racecourse gate. (This was not mentioned in the previous travel notes, please pay attention here. ) We accepted Li Shifu's suggestion, and instead of taking the main entrance, we turned a small corner around the boundary river (with good scenery) and 12 camp (with good environment and broad vision) and entered the Hongshan Army Horse Farm. To show our gratitude, we gave half of the saved 100 yuan to Li Shifu as a reward.

After discussion, I plan to charter Li Shifu's car in these two days, so I talked with him, and he readily agreed, and the price was renegotiated, and the deal was made in 300 yuan in two days. Li Shifu smiled with a simple and honest smile. "300 is 300." ...

Live broadcast:

Before I went, I looked up a lot of travel notes about accommodation at Hongshan Army Racecourse. Most netizens quoted 15 yuan (farmhouse bed)-120 yuan (hotel standard room), but I found the difference was too big when I went to the military racecourse. Celebrity Villa standard room 180 yuan/room recommended by netizens (not too expensive, so there is no discount), only a cabin, 200 yuan (not negotiable). (The original plan came with the fame of celebrity villa, and the boss Li Dianmin is also a fastidious person, and his popularity in the local area is good. Unexpectedly, the plan still can't keep up with the rapid changes. After all, it is the tourist season in Saihanba, and no one can complain.

Four Seas Hotel, Sister Liu Tel:131478050581383241580713932450086. The overall feeling is good, the house is clean, the lighting is good, the food is passable, and the quantity is relatively large. It is really worth recommending a place to live. Just don't damage any accommodation facilities, otherwise the compensation will be paid according to the price, which is not negotiable. This friend Wu Yang brought back two tickets, the price of 35 yuan/Zhang.

Entertainment:

Wulanbutong Racecourse (Jiangjun Paozi-Xida Paozi)

After lunch, at 13: 00, we drove to the general Paozi-Xida Paozi for horseback riding. Halfway through Jiapigou and Jiangjun Paozi, we finally arrived at different racecourses in Wulan (the driving time is about 1 hour, 10 minute).

I learned from Li Shifu that if you want to find a cheap trip this season, you must go far away. Horses in major racetracks and nearby famous scenic spots are all 50 yuan per hour, which is not cost-effective. Moreover, there are many domestic horses pulling carts, grass horses with big bellies and short legs, or elegant and beautiful ornamental horses that can only jump and run. Ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to choose military horses specially prepared for the army, so tourists who are inexperienced in horses are easily fooled. (Of course, such a horse can be satisfied for a donkey friend who doesn't have high riding requirements. )

Generally, motor vehicles are not allowed to pass in Paozi Scenic Area, so you need to park your car in a special parking lot before entering the scenic area. Generally, the riding price of paozi is around 50 yuan/hour in peak season, so there is no room for bargaining. At other times, the price is slightly lower, ranging from 25-40 yuan per hour.

We set our destination at Wulan different racecourse behind General Paozi, and Li Shifu said that the price of horses there was relatively cheaper. On the way, I met two cavalry teams, neither of which was a "regular army". They are specialized in pulling live, on the roadside between General Paozi and different horse farms in Ulan. Before Li Shifu's car stopped, seven or eight horses came running from both sides of the car. I don't know who to ask for the price at the moment.

The price offered by the owner is 25 yuan/hour (20 yuan/hour can be won if you persist for a while). Looking closely at these ten horses, we can see that they are small, lean and have pointed hips, but their eyes are a little evil and wild. This is a typical Mongolian horse, which belongs to the first-class horse and is a military horse. While I was discussing this horse with the owner, Li Shifu interrupted our negotiation and said that I would continue to talk about it when I came back. Although I don't understand, I still don't insist too much.

On the way, Li Shifu said, "This horse is very dangerous to ride! Didn't you see that the general's steamed stuffed bun is less than 2 kilometers away from here, and there are 50 horses there, which is more than 20 yuan? Also, don't you find that their cavalry team is unorganized and undisciplined, and there is not even a horse's head in the middle? Who will be responsible for your accident? There is no such thing as a formal point. " "You don't know, these horses are actually wild horses running on the grassland in Inner Mongolia, and they have never been tamed. Generally, people who are not good at riding can't control it. Plus, in case of an accident, no compensation can be found. Just to save one or twenty dollars, it's not worth the risk. " Here, I suggest you don't talk to a horse team without a horse's head on the side of the road for the sake of cheap, or you will be the last to get hurt. )

This is how Jia San (bearded), the caller of different racecourses in Wulan, printed his business card. He was very accommodating and promised to go to his place the next day, but this 120 horse can be chosen at will.

(The following advertisement is inserted: Jia San's mobile phone: 13848880786 Address: Jiangjun Paozi North (go north along Jiangjun Paozi Highway 1.5km).

There are more than 120 horses in Wulanbutong Racecourse, which are basically raised by local people for the troops to choose horses every year (the troops are very strict in horse selection, and the general hardware standards are: horse height 1.30m, horse length 1.85- 1.90m, and horse width 0.70m). The troops didn't like it, so they sent it to various horse farms for tourists to ride.

My mount is a bordeaux horse, just like Guan in the Three Kingdoms. Apart from being a little older (8 years old this year), he is no different from a military horse serving in the army in other aspects. I named it "Wolewo" and it likes the name very much. It kept shaking its head when I called it. Ha ha.

Horses are people, good horses talk about personality, and my Wolevo has a lot of personality. When a group of cavalry March in line, my Waller will be at the front of the line. If you push him to the end, he will be unwilling. As soon as you loosen the reins, he will have to jump to the front. Some horses are not convinced and want to keep pace with Waller. Waller will definitely get a nose first and then get up a little. Provoked the horses behind, trotting behind their asses. If Volovo feels that the ranking is threatened, he will immediately eject like an arrow. Throw away the other horses in 10 second. In short, no horses are allowed to pass!

On the way, Wallevo saw two people riding motorcycles, chasing people like crazy, at twice the normal speed, and almost fell down. The bearded man on the motorcycle kept whistling. He blew faster and faster, and finally he rode away on a motorcycle. I don't know why, but now my "command" doesn't work, so I let go of the reins and grabbed the saddle to let it run. The bearded motorcyclist still smirked at me from time to time. After a while, the motorcyclist suddenly accelerated and jumped out. After a while, Waller and I disappeared. Valevo was tired, too, and survived the long journey under my command.

In the process of riding, I tested the technology of Wallevo. For example, the patience of steering instructions, emergency stop, accelerated running, long-term high-speed running and so on. , can rival the real charger, just too rebellious personality, bad temper. I guess that's why they didn't go to service and stayed at the racecourse to be ridden. Several times when I strolled past other horse officials on the Wallevo, those horse officials quickly stepped aside, and none of them wanted to get close to my Wallevo from beginning to end. It can be seen that these people are still quite afraid of Wallevo, and it is estimated that many people have suffered from it.

In the process of racing with everyone, none of the dozens of horses in Mali can catch up with my beloved horse. It has always been my Wolevo, far ahead, and no horse can match it.

Wo Wo left a deep impression on me. I can't forget his pride, momentum, posture, rhythm, spirituality and wild personality. In the process of running like lightning, I made up my mind that the next time I go to the military horse farm, I must find Wallevo unless he doesn't ride!

I didn't know why Waller was chasing motorcyclists until I came back. It turns out that the bearded motorcyclist is the real owner of Waller-Jia Sanjia Bearded. He is teasing Waller and me. I said this horse is so NB, it turned out to be the owner's mount! Be sure to get on well with Jia Saner and come to ride Wallevo another day. When I came back to hand in the horse's head, Jia Saner was there, patting me on the shoulder. "Oh, ok, I'll give you a discount when I come back another day. You can choose 120 horses in my field ... "So I left his phone number. Ladies and gentlemen, if you are interested, you can find Jia Saner and try Wallevo's skill.

Wulanbutong Racecourse -XXX Lake-Wild Duck Lake, the whole journey is about 12km *2, and the donkey friends who want to show their skills can enjoy themselves, riding for about 4 hours (including four breaks 10 minutes).

50 yuan/hour in the peak season of horse price in Wulanbutong Racecourse (35 yuan/hour after negotiation). Jia Saner promised me to ride in his racecourse in the peak season, and the price was set at 30 yuan/hour. Other seasons will be explained separately.

Scene:

Below I will introduce several representative scenic spots I have visited in Saihanba for the reference of interested donkey friends.

Twelve company camps

In the 29th year of Kangxi (A.D. 1690), Kangxi rose up against galdan. In order to defeat completely, in June, Prince Fu Quan of Yu was ordered to be General Fuyuan, leave Gubeikou, go to Tuligen River and join forces with General Anbei to fight a decisive battle in galdan. We chose open valleys and hills 60 miles from east to west and 20 miles from north to south, and set up 140 camps. There are twelve base camps, which are now the site, and later called the Twelve Company Battalion. Standing on the ruins of the twelfth company, it seems that you can still see the spectacular scene of 100 thousand troops camping more than 300 years ago.

This 12 company camp has a large area. It is recommended that go on road trip (cross-country type is preferred) ride from Taifeng Lake Racecourse or Hongshan Army Racecourse Resort Racecourse. From the beginning of July to the end of August, the Shilian camp was full of beautiful wild flowers and weeds of various colors. If you look closely, you can also see prairie rats jumping around on the road. Go in July and August, suitable for taking photos, enjoying flowers and riding horses. After September, the grass basically turned from green to yellow, and it turned yellow after 10. /kloc-It is suitable to take photos in 12 companies after 0/0.

Wukeshu

Standing in the south of different ancient battlefields in Ulan, five birch trees grow on a hill in the distance. Legend has it that the Qing army and galdan refused to stand at the foot of Hongshan Mountain, and the outcome of the war was divided into several days. At that time, King Oza (Vice President Abe) in Dorothy County was injured and could not take part in the battle to kill the enemy. In order to observe the battlefield situation, we took Qin Bing to watch the battlefield dynamics on the mountain where birch trees were cut down. At this time, the guns on the battlefield continued, and the soldiers of the Qing army held high the battle flag in shouts and rushed to Galdin's position. As soon as the general forgot the pain of the wound, he put the birch tree in the ground and rushed down the mountain with three followers.

Later, it rained for a whole day, and five birch trees grew in the place where the birch trees were inserted. In order to remember this past, future generations named this place five trees.

If the donkey friends ride out at different racetracks in Wulan and go to Wild Duck Lake, they can pass five trees, which is less than 15 minutes away from the racetrack. The mountain is neither high nor steep, so you can ride it directly.

Yeyahu

Local herders call this lake "Nugu Si Nuo", which translates as "Wild Duck Lake". The lake is located on the west side of Jiapigou Ecological Reserve in Hongshan Military Racecourse, with a water surface of about 20 mu, an average water depth of 3 meters and the deepest point of 7.5 meters. Because the lake is located in a swamp and inaccessible, plants such as reeds, river willows and cattails grow on the shore, making it the habitat of rare birds such as wild ducks, swans, herons and geese. The lake is surrounded by lush aquatic plants and mushroom circles, rich in mercury plates, chicken feet and white and black mushrooms; Astragalus, Bupleurum and other Chinese herbal medicines can be seen everywhere, and they are also drinking places for wild animals such as roe deer, raccoon dogs, wolves and foxes.

At the beginning of the construction, "beating roe deer to catch fish" is a true portrayal here. Every summer, the whole lake area is lush with green grass, wild ducks haunt among aquatic plants, flowers of various colors grow on the grassland, fish roam in the water, birds in the air sing, horses and sheep on the grassland leisurely feed, and the Wild Duck Lake is presented to the world like a colorful picture scroll, which is refreshing.

Wild Duck Lake is the end of traditional cycling routes in different racecourses in Wulan. If the donkey friends can persist in riding, they can see the Wild Duck Lake. The water in Yeya Lake has been a little dirty for a few days, and there are not so many waterfowl. Wild duck lake is surrounded by swamps. Donkey riders who take photos on horseback should be careful not to get too close to the lake. In addition, a horse that runs for more than two hours will be killed when it meets water. The rider must hold on to the reins, lest the horse fall into the water.

Qixing lake

Located in the east of the central area of mechanical forest farm, about 5 kilometers away, the lake area is not large. The conductor said that the total scenic spot is *** 12 Li. There is a row of cabins near the entrance of the scenic spot, which are made of pure wood and bark. Idle in the off-season, can be used for viewing and accommodation in the peak season. There are motorboats in Qixing Lake for tourists to drive. When the weather is fine, it is worth taking pictures in the scenic spot. 3 yuan (price in peak season, free in off-season).

Taifeng L.

From mid-July to mid-August, when tourists are most concentrated, tickets will be charged, and the fare will be 5 yuan/person. When we went in August 14, the scenic spots were already free.

On a sunny day, Taifeng Lake Scenic Area is quite charming. Taifeng Lake is divided into front, middle and back lakes, which are connected end to end. Blue sky and white clouds are projected on the calm lake. For a time, you have no sense of space, and you can't tell which is the sky and which is the lake. Taifeng Lake is the last lake, and there is a fixed horse rental point next to it. Here, the local people gather around, holding their horses, and the horses are uniformly dispatched to tourists. The order is still relatively good. Opposite the horse rental point in Taifeng Lake is a small archery range, which is taken care of by two little girls who receive tourists. The price is still relatively cheap, so you may wish to make a move. (I think it was 10 yuan /20 arrow)

Moon lake

Moon Lake is located on the roadside between the mechanical forest farm and Saihanta, about 20 minutes' drive from the mechanical forest farm. Tickets for Moon Lake are now in 20 yuan, and I personally feel that there is nothing worth going. There is a small lake (called Moon Lake), a racecourse (mostly horse-drawn carts with big bellies), a riding area around Moon Lake (full of horse manure and nothing grows), and a forest belt (pine forest belts on both sides of the scenic spot are actually the property of mechanical forest farms).

The main reason is that the ticket price of the scenic spot is a little high, otherwise it can be used as a good stopover point to leave (or arrive at) Saihanba. Personally suggest the ticket price of Moon Lake Scenic Area-5 yuan/person.

General Paozi (Wulanbutong Ancient Battlefield)

During the Kangxi period, Mongolia was divided into three parts: Mobei, Monan and Moxi. Galdan, the powerful leader of Junggar, went south to Inner Mongolia in an attempt to unify the whole of Mongolia against the Qing court.

In the 29th year of Kangxi (AD 1690), in June, Kangxi made a personal expedition, and the soldiers were divided into two ways. A routing brother, Prince Yu Fuquan as commander in chief, led a hundred thousand troops out of Gubeikou to the north. A routing brother, Prince Gong, led hundreds of troops out of xifengkou and into Inner Mongolia. Chang Ning met the Galdin Army in Wuzhumuqin, and lost the fierce battle and lost to the south. He joined the Fuquan Army on the Tuligen River. 0.2 million/200 thousand troops set up company battalions (12 company battalions) on the north and south banks of Henan Province to block the enemy for 60 miles. Galdan led hundreds of troops to pursue Changning to Wulanbutong. Knowing that Nanxiasan Road was overcast, they tied 10,000 four-hoofed camels to the ground and covered them with wet blankets and boxes as shelters, which became a confrontation between Camel City and the Qing army. Kangxi personally went to Boluo River Tun (now Longhua) to direct the battle.

On August 1 day, the Qing army attacked Wulanbutong and attacked Camel City in two ways. The guns, cannons, bows and crossbows of galdan Army in Camel City have been in the Qing army for a long time. The lighter camp is at the forefront, and all the guns are screaming to destroy Camel City. Seeing that the Qing army was powerful, the Kagyu army ordered a truce and sent people to the Qing army camp to beg for surrender. The commander-in-chief of the Qing army was blinded by his illusion and the attack failed. Gordan quietly led the army to flee at night. Because commander-in-chief Fu Quan did not dare to fight, he turned the prepared war of annihilation into a rout and was punished by Kangxi. Although the Battle of Wulanbutong did not destroy galdan, it dealt a heavy blow to its effective strength and created a good opportunity for Emperor Kangxi to unify Mongolia both inside and outside China.

In this battle, Tong Guogang, the bachelor general of Anbei University (the uncle of Kangxi), was unfortunately hit by a Russian bird's nest and died. In the battle, the recoil of the cannon caused the grassland to collapse, forming bubbles, and the shells hit the red mountain, blasting the mountain and dividing it into two red mountains. In memory of Tong Guogang, later generations called this lake General Bubble. It is said that in every rainy day, you can vaguely see countless cannons flying into the sky. Geologists believe that it is not surprising that the local geographical structure has changed greatly due to the strong earthquake force caused by many guns and the convergence of the Qing army in the Wulanbu United War, which is itself a wet swamp geological terrain and turned into a lake.

The general in reality is far less brave than the legend. There are two red mountains, the big one and the small one. There is a lake at the foot of the mountain and a racecourse on the shore, but the price is slightly higher than that of Wulanbutong Racecourse (because of its high popularity, there are many tourists). Riding from General Paozi can also meet cavalry from different horse farms in Wulan and go to Wild Duck Lake (it takes about 3 hours to ride from General Paozi to and from Wild Duck Lake). Generally, bubbles are suitable for shooting donkeys and grassland sunsets.

Xiaohongshanzi &; Jiapigou

Xiaohongshanzi and Jiapigou are also good places to shoot the sunrise and sunset on the grassland. The approximate location of Jiapigou is on the way to Jiangjun Paozi by car. You can ask the driver for the specific location. It is more convenient to go to Xiaohong Mountain. Go straight on the main street of Junmachang Resort, then turn right and leave the village. Then turn left, and the mountain bag in front of you is Xiaohong Mountain. Friends who plan to shoot the sunrise need to get up early, and the dawn on the grassland is earlier. It is best to arrive at the shooting point before 4 am. As a reminder, you need to bring more winter clothes when you go out in the morning.

Watching the Milky Way at the military horse farm

Grassland is different from cities, and there is no light damage. Counting the stars, enjoying the moon and watching the Milky Way are all good places. If you live in the Military Racecourse Resort, you can stroll around the village after dinner (or after the bonfire), count the stars in the sky with your companions, bask in the bright moonlight and watch the rare Milky Way on weekdays. Especially near midnight, the stars in the sky are more lush and clear. Looking up at the sky seems to appreciate a picture scroll, and it feels great! If you are interested, if you use a film camera, adjust the focal length and take some photos of the Milky Way. If you are lucky, you can make a wish of 5 million when the meteor crosses the night sky, hehe.

Baihualin

If it's a return trip, cross the Moon Lake and drive in the direction of Weichang County, and you will soon see the birch forest. Birch forest is also on the roadside, which is a very abrupt forest that grows obliquely on the hillside. There are pines and cypresses before and after, but such a small birch forest seems to be specially reserved for tourists to take pictures in the scenic spot, hehe.

This birch forest is still tall, but the trunk is not very thick, about 12 or 13 years old. The whole forest gives people a feeling of freehand brushwork and is suitable for taking some photos.

Saihanta

Saihanba is the nearest scenic spot in the whole Saihanba Scenic Area to Weichang County. It is recommended to visit it when you come back. After passing the birch forest, we will continue to move towards the paddock. After about ten or twenty minutes, we can reach Saihanta. There are no more tourist spots in Saihanta Scenic Area, only a tower and a large forest. Admission 5 yuan/person. The tower of Sai Han Tower is not high, with reinforced concrete structure, about 16 or 17 meters. Looks like a rocket ready to launch. From bottom to top ***8 1 step, we went in the peak season, so there are more tourists. It took me nearly 1 hour to climb the tower more than ten meters high. The main thing is that everyone is crowded on the narrow spiral stairs and moving forward step by step. When the top tourists feast their eyes, they can only make up another wave (the area of the tower top is limited, and each wave can stand at most 10 people), so the speed is very slow. While waiting on the stairs, several tourists couldn't stand this kind of suffering and retired first. What's more, I stood in the middle for a long time, complaining that "the ticket cost 5 yuan but I stood on the fourth floor for so long." If I don't read it, I'll get a dollar back ... "It made everyone laugh.

According to the people who came down from above, it's really worth seeing and there is no regret. To tell the truth, when I got to the top of the tower, I really didn't see where the "value" was. The field of vision is very wide, and you can see the mechanical forest farm in 360 degrees. It seems that the forest coverage rate here is almost above 95%. At this time, the mountain breeze is blowing, and your mind feels cold. In fact, this is a prototype watchtower, which is an ordinary tower for watching mountains and protecting forests from fire. This is not a tourist attraction. There was a feeling of being cheated at that time. Why do so many tourists shout "It's worth seeing"? Then I thought about it and connected it. Why do I say it's worth it? Not because the scenery is too good, but because I feel a little dizzy in the tower and my brain lacks oxygen. It's certainly comfortable to get to the top of the tower and suddenly breathe such fresh air. When they say "value", they actually mean = refreshing and comfortable.

There is a temple in Saihanta Scenic Area. It is said that a master of Wutai Mountain is so clever that he even came all the way from other places to ask the master for help. I really can't see that a 50-year-old master who is half vulgar and half monk can have such a deep way.

Saihanta scenic spot is in the middle of nowhere, and there is no car outside the gate. Most of the cars in the parking lot are chartered by travel agencies or individuals from the paddock. If you are returning to visit Saihanta, you can take the shuttle bus from Mechanical Forest Farm to Weichang County, which leaves at 1 1 30 in the morning, and the last bus is at 3: 30 in the afternoon at the latest.

The arrival time of the shuttle bus passing through Saihanta is unknown, so we need to wait on the roadside in advance. Before the bus arrives, when there is still some distance, you will honk your horn in advance. People who are not familiar with this voice can't tell whether it is a bus or not. Only businessmen at the entrance of the scenic spot can tell. Needless to say, when the bus comes, those businessmen will remind you that the bus is coming, get ready. Before getting on the bus, they will also be told that each person will give the conductor 9 yuan money. I won't give it if I have more. Remember, 9 yuan each, not to mention what we said! (Look at how enthusiastic people are. I hate not buying some mountain products from them while waiting for the bus.

Mushrooms on the dam and Dali fish are called double unique.

Ganoderma lucidum in the forest belt that stretches for more than 20 kilometers can be picked back, but it is not so easy to find a big one.

The wild mushrooms in Saihanba Forest Farm are very famous, with good taste, fresh taste, many kinds and large quantities, which are by no means comparable to ordinary mushrooms planted artificially outside.
