Mulan paddock Royal Hunt Garden in Qing Dynasty

The TV series Princess Zhu Huan was shot here, the hunting ground of the Qing emperor and the royal family. You can see many stars at night, and the northern ditch of Wulanbutong grassland is suitable for shooting sunsets. Riding on the open grassland is not limited by the venue. As long as you pass the horse skills, you can even let the horse trot for a while.

Mulan paddock has been a lush grassland since ancient times. The reason why it is so famous today is that the Qing emperor and many "braid plays" today are the first. Kangxi went to the "Mulan paddock" for autumn hunting almost every year after beginning of autumn. Yu believes that the prosperity of Kanggan began in 755-79000 AD, when his grandfather was physically and mentally strong. The TV series "fifteen miles away" also describes Kangxi's trip to the Great Wall; The TV series "Walking on Thin Ice" is set in Emperor Qianlong, and it was shot in Mulan paddock.

We have seen countless hunting scenes of Qing emperors in novels and TV plays, and we may only have a general understanding of the location of Mulan paddock, that is, in the north of Chengde, the ancient "Great Wall". Today's Mulan paddock covers a wide area. From Weichang Manchu and Mongolian Autonomous County in Chengde City (hereinafter referred to as Weichang County) to the northwest, it belongs to the "Mulan Weichang" at the junction of Hebei Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Mulan paddock mainly includes Saihanba National Forest Park in Hebei Province, Yudaokou Grassland Forest Scenic Area, Hongsongwa National Nature Reserve and different grasslands in Wulan, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The approximate location of the four scenic spots: Saihanba is in the middle, Yudaokou is in the southwest of Saihanba, Hongsongwa is in the northeast of Saihanba, and Wulan different grassland is in the northwest of Saihanba.

For southern tourists, Weichang County, the origin of Mulan paddock, is in the southeast of Saihanba. It is quite far from the scenic spot, and each scenic spot is very big, including many small scenic spots, so it is best to go to Mulan paddock by car or by car. The most beautiful scenery is not necessarily in the scenic spot, but often on the road. Cars drive on the vast grassland, and occasionally lakes, rivers, birch forests, small deserts, wild flowers and herds of horses pass by. Seeing the favorite scenery, it is very free to park on the side of the road. If you rent a car, you'd better choose an off-road vehicle, because the grassland is bumpy and prone to rollover, and some places have to wade. The reference price is 600-700 yuan/day, which may rise to 1000 yuan/day in the tourist season. The scenery here is different in four seasons. The most beautiful time in Mulan paddock is from mid-June to the end of September. You can enjoy flowers in summer and autumn. From early June to mid-August, Stellera chamaejasme blooms; From the end of July to the beginning of August, rape blossoms are in full bloom; From the beginning of July to the end of August, Trollius is in full bloom; Sunflowers bloom from late August to early September. From the beginning of September to the end of September, the weather is cool, but you can enjoy the oil-painted autumn scenery.

The constant sunsets and stars make every traveler in a hurry. Stay here for at least one night, just for the sunset on the grassland beyond the Great Wall and countless stars at night. There are accommodations in Saihanba National Forest Park in Wulanbutong Grassland and the mechanical forest farm about 20 kilometers from the entrance of Hongshan Army Racecourse, but the accommodation conditions are limited. Even some hotels with star-rated hotels provide hot water for a limited time. There are generally grassland specialties sold near the accommodation, especially mutton. In addition to the vast grasslands, dotted rivers and lakes, thousands of miles of forests and other natural landscapes, horse riding is also a major feature of this place. Under the guidance of the groom, ordinary tourists can only let their horses trot at most, which is already very exciting and interesting. Visitors to Mulan paddock for the first time may not know how to choose, because it has a vast territory and many scenic spots-all grasslands. Which one should I go to see?

Here, I recommend several famous and interesting scenic spots to you. Saihanba National Forest Park: Qixing Lake in the scenic spot is a place that almost every visitor to Saihanba National Forest Park will go to. Seven small lakes form a big wetland, and the plank road is built on it, formerly known as Huopaozi ("Paozi" refers to a small lake naturally formed by groundwater.

Yudaokou Grassland Forest Scenic Area: Taoxian Lake is the most beautiful place in Yudaokou, and there is a hill shaped like Xiantao in the south of the lake. Hongsongwa National Nature Reserve: The scenic spot is located in the deep grassland, with few tourists. The windmill of Datang-style power station on the grassland is the highlight. Different grasslands in Ulan: General Paozi is a different landmark attraction in Ulan. It is famous for the battle between Kangxi and galdan in history. As a must-see spot for tourists to visit different grasslands in Wulan, the tourist facilities here are relatively rich, but the original tranquility is destroyed because of the crowded tourists. It can be said that the significance is greater than the value of scenic spots. Beigou is a scenic spot worth visiting. As an area where grazing is allowed in Wulan Wu Tong Grassland, the beautiful scenery of "low wind and grass" can only be seen here, which is very suitable for shooting sunsets. There is also an interesting glider amusement project in Ulan. People can overlook the panorama of Wulanbu series from the air. Reference price 300 yuan/time.

: Precautions

1. Don't ask the wild guide at the gate of the scenic spot. Accommodation with a guide is more expensive than that without a guide. This is a "guild regulations", because the director of the field is to get a commission, and the director of the field can't get away with it. He always has a way to kill you.

2. Riding a horse is generally a groom in charge of several people. If you want a horse to walk or run, you should make an agreement with the groom in advance. When running, the groom will follow the horse, but you should pay attention to safety. Cycling reference price 60 yuan/hour.

3. The temperature difference in Mulan paddock is large in the morning and evening. Besides some warm clothes, you should also have sunscreen, a windproof hat and gloves, and a pair of hiking shoes (riding boots can be rented locally).

4. Pay attention to antifreeze when taking photos in the paddock in winter, and prepare more batteries when using digital cameras to avoid sighing at the scene. Pay attention to prevent sudden rainstorm in summer.
