30-day weather forecast in Zhangbei

In the summer vacation of 2008, I was very idle, and I had a lot of leisure time in my hand, just thinking about where to play. Only in this way can I live up to this rare summer time. However, the children are too young and too far away for them to toss. Closer and better scenery is the best choice. After thinking about it, I chose Prairie Road, which I visited once in July. This is my second visit to Heaven. I learned a lesson from the shortcomings and experience of my first visit. I am more prepared, more natural and more enjoyable. When I came to Lu Yu in July, I was caught in a traffic jam. One day I was on my way back and forth. I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the depths of the grassland, catch beautiful butterflies with my children, and catch rabbits by the roadside. It's a pity that I decided to visit heaven again.

Therefore, we plan to travel for three days at the end of August. This time, we decided to enter the Heavenly Road from Huapiling and leave the Heavenly Road from Yehuling.

1, popular science "Prairie Road"

Grassland Tianlu, located at the junction of Zhangbei County and Chongli District in Zhangjiakou City, starts from Yehuling (near Yehuling Fortress) on the south side of Zhangbei County in the west and reaches Huapiling in Chongli in the east. It is an important channel connecting Chongli Ski Resort, Chicheng Hot Spring Area and Zhangbei Grassland Scenic Area, and it is also one of the top ten most beautiful highways in Chinese mainland.

Prairie Tianlu, with a total length of 132.7 km, is like a dragon, entrenched at the top of the mountain, winding and rolling for more than 100 km. The blue sky meets it and the white clouds echo it. Walking on the Heaven is like walking in the clouds, hence the name Heaven. This is the edge of Xilin Gol prairie, with an average elevation of 1400 meters and an average annual temperature of only 4 degrees Celsius. Known as "the thirteen provinces in the world, but not as cold as Huapiling". Strong wind, abundant sunshine and no obvious summer have become the most obvious climate characteristics.

The total length of Grassland Tianlu is132km, which is divided into two lines: the eastern line, the western line is about 32km, and the eastern line is about100km. Because the western route is a one-way street, relatively few people go there. The grassland road in people's mouth mostly refers to the eastern route. The east line of grassland Tianlu extends from Yehuling to Huapiling from west to east, so the entrance of Yehuling is also called the west entrance, and the entrance of Huapiling is also called the east entrance. Generally speaking, the west entrance refers to Yehuling (Zhangbei County) and the east entrance refers to Huapiling (Chongli District). The 100 km Tianlu from Yehuling to Huapiling is known as the eastern line of Grassland Tianlu, also referred to as "Grassland Tianlu", while the western line is gradually marginalized by tourists.

2. How to enter the grassland road

Grassland Tianlu has two entrances, Yehuling entrance and Huapiling entrance, which are also two exits. Which entrance to enter depends on everyone's own travel route. Tell me about myself. When I first went to Tianlu, I chose to enter from Yehuling, because it was the gate of Tianlu, but because of this, the entrance was called traffic jam. We sat in the car and blew the prairie wind for an hour, and sang "Blue Sky, Aries, My Home" by the way. The second time I went to the grassland, I chose to enter from Huapiling, probably because the tourist season has passed and the entrance to Huapiling is extremely unobstructed. I have the habit of arranging the route and itinerary in advance before each trip, and this time is no exception. Grassland Road is a strange place for us, and mobile navigation is certainly a must. I use Baidu map, so here is the map as an example.

Enter Grassland Tianlu from Yehuling, open Baidu Map APP, and then directly search for "Zhangbei Grassland Tianlu Service Center", which is the entrance of Grassland Tianlu Yehuling, the north gate and the main entrance of Grassland Tianlu. This is unmistakable. Please feel free to search, haha.

From Huapiling to Prairie Tianlu, open Baidu Map APP, and then directly search for "Prairie Tianlu (Huapiling)", as shown below, which is the entrance of Prairie Tianlu Huapiling. If you want to see the complete route of the entire Tianlu East Line, enter "Grassland Tianlu East Line" in the Baidu map search bar, and you can see the whole route. It should be noted here that mobile navigation will automatically choose the shortest route, and be careful not to be biased by the navigation band. While believing in navigation, you should also know the route you are driving.

The route from the hotel entrance to the hotel is shown in the figure below. After entering the Tianlu entrance, I set the destination as the name of the hotel where I stayed. The powerful Baidu map will provide several routes, so you should be extra careful.

I personally tested the accuracy of the keywords at the entrance of the article, so you can safely drive there.

Step 3 eat and live

On the way to Grassland Road, I still suggest that you take enough emergency dry food and water to prevent traffic jams. What if the car breaks down in the middle of the road? Be fully prepared to have fun. I brought a lot of food because I took my children on a trip, although many of them were not for children, haha. As long as you enter Grassland Road, basically there will be several farmhouses. As long as you are hungry, you can go in and have some roast mutton or something. I don't know how each family tastes, but it should be no problem to fill your stomach. Of course, when people come out to play, they all want to have a good time and eat a local food. That's great.

When it comes to grasslands, the first thing that comes to mind is mutton. Tianlu's mutton tastes good. Friends who come here to play must not miss the good opportunity to eat mutton. The beef jerky here tastes great, too On the way back, I bought some beef jerky to take back, which should be regarded as a grassland specialty, as well as toffee and flaxseed. If necessary, we can take some back. Besides, live. This is the most troublesome thing for people who go to a place for the first time. Anyway, I feel this way and really think a lot. For example, what about a black shop? What if the food is unsanitary? What if you kill someone? What should I do if the hotel room is too dirty? Are there too many mosquitoes? Where is the right location? Is the roadside better or the inside?

Haha, I especially understand everyone's feelings, but this is the first time I went there. When I went there for the second time, things were simple. Because I am very satisfied with my first stay at Colorful Tianlu Holiday Hotel, regardless of the geographical location (in the middle of Tianlu, both ends are suitable, so don't worry), the food quality (my saliva, the surrounding environment (about 1 km from Tianlu Highway, quiet, safe, with little dust or hotel hygiene) is quite good, and the boss is also very honest (please wipe up the food residue!

There are swings and hammocks in the backyard of Colorful Holiday Inn. If you want to stay one more day, it is good to breathe fresh air. There will be a bonfire party in the evening, and everyone will dance and watch fireworks. Some people performed Shuhuaxiu, which was also beautiful. They were all stunned by the children. My baby pointed to the spark and said "mom, fire, fire" to me. Haha.

The roast mutton in this hotel is also very authentic. The roast leg of lamb I ate last time was replaced by roast lamb chops, and I ate it with cumin powder. Not tired of doing it. It tastes different from what we eat in the city. Delicious and quack. By the way, if you decide to stay in this hotel (I like to call it farmhouse), if you want to eat roast mutton, you should call your boss at least two hours in advance to make an appointment. When you come, you will have to wait for a long time. Their roast mutton is directly roasted with raw meat, but it takes seven or eight minutes to cook, so it takes a long time, so it's no use worrying. I was really bored while waiting for dinner, so I went for a walk in the kitchen (the waiter didn't stop me, hehe, I found the next one).

Special note: don't pick mushrooms you don't know, many mushrooms are poisonous.

Yes, it's several boxes of wild fresh mushrooms. The waiter said it rained a few days ago, and many wild mushrooms grew after the rain. They use this time to pick a lot of fresh mushrooms every year, not only for guests to eat, but also to dry them and make them into wild mushrooms. Haha, I ate a lot of mushrooms for dinner that day. Why, fresh natural wild mushrooms are delicious. The last time I saw them was when I was very young. There is another dish on Tianlu grassland, that is, oat noodle, which is also delicious, probably because the chef is good at cooking. Anyway, I think every dish I eat, including shallots and stewed chicken (the live cock kept at the door may be eaten like this by me, and so on). Friends who want to go to Tiandao can book with confidence. If they become friends with the boss, they may give you some change, quack.

Step 4 play

You must ask, when you go to the grassland in early autumn, the grass turns yellow. Is the scenery still beautiful? Whether the scenery is beautiful or not depends on everyone's photography level. I think so, too. I'm not very good at it anyway What I think is beautiful with the naked eye becomes horrible as soon as it enters the camera. Alas, my eyes are full of tears. It's hard to describe that I failed to live up to the beautiful scenery in vain and had to take pictures. I watched the change of a cloud quietly ~

Guess what this is

Do you think I'm cute ~

I have to mention that there are mushrooms on the grassland in autumn. There are large mushrooms in the jungle. Pick whatever you want. They are purely wild. Take it back to dry and make it into dried mushrooms. It is also a lever reduction. Take the children to pick mushrooms (there is one near the colorful Tianlu Hotel, which is also a very happy thing. Parents who take their children out to play must not miss it. Mushrooms look like green bamboo shoots after the rain, so cute ~

Living on the hill opposite the hotel has a fairy effect.

5. Our itinerary

D 1: We didn't start too early because there were three days and it wasn't a weekend. It was already half past eight after breakfast, and we started to set off for Badaling Expressway. There are still some traffic jams on the Great Wall, probably because there are more tourists in the summer vacation, but compared with last time, it is much smoother.

Arrive at Huapiling around noon 12:30. After entering the Heavenly Road, I found a place to sit down and have lunch by myself.

Have a rest after lunch. It's almost two o'clock. Keep driving and enjoy the scenery along the way.

Arrive at Colorful Tianlu Holiday Hotel at 5:40 pm to prepare dinner.

D2: We have enough time. After breakfast in the hotel in the morning (65,438+00 yuan for adults and no charge for children), we walked around and took the children to pick some mushrooms. After lunch break, I went to Senatou Resort, 20 kilometers away from the hotel, and played grass skiing, cable car and other projects. Continue to stay at Colorful Tianlu Holiday Hotel in the evening.

D3: After breakfast, drive to the direction of Yehuling, and have lunch on the roadside farm road. 65438+ 0 pm, drive back to Beijing, there is no traffic jam on the road.

6. Matters needing attention

The first point: before the vehicle enters Tianlu, be sure to fill it with oil, because there is no gas station on the way to Tianlu;

The second point: the temperature in Tianlu is low all the year round, even in the hottest summer, it is very cool there. It is recommended to bring a coat. If you go in early autumn, take a thicker coat.

The third point: drive on the road, don't rely entirely on navigation, and compare the road map at the intersection;

The fourth point: on a sunny day, the ultraviolet rays are really strong, and even the most sun-resistant people will shed their skin. Don't believe it.
