2025 Fengning Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#OctoberGoodDestinations2024 The autumn in Beijing North Grassland Wetland Park is like a fairyland, which makes me feel extremely amazed! 🌾When I stepped into the park, the scenery in front of me seemed like a flowing painting, with golden grasslands and blue sky intertwined, like a palette of nature. 🎨 The breeze gently blows along the path, bringing a faint scent of flowers. It feels like being gently brushed by the hand of autumn. 🍃I especially like sitting by the lake and admiring the fallen leaves floating on the water, as if each leaf is a messenger of autumn, quietly telling me a story. The park has a diverse ecology, and the small animals playing in the grass add a bit of vitality💖 #京北草原湿地公园 #Autumn Wonderland #Natural Beauty #Soul Release

The Qiansongba virgin forest in Fengningba on the first day of Jingbei is a must-see for tourists. There are large tracts of virgin forests - larch, wild willow, and tens of thousands of original spruce. A rich forest treasure house! It is said that this is the largest spruce forest in the north of China, with an average age of 280 years. The ancient trees are towering and lush, and the negative oxygen ions in the air are very high and very fresh. Prairie, forests, lakes, free clouds, grazing cattle, long roads like ribbons, squatting forward, sitting on the hillsides full of wildflowers, the scenery in front of them, like oil painting Here is the Qiansongba virgin forest on the first day of Jingbei. Summer vacation here is very pleasant, from the spruce forest of Qiansongba to the hillside where camel stone is full of wildflowers, to the village in the Valley of Lovers. At dusk, the old sheep screamed in the warm light of the hustle and shouted a long tune, and went home with the flock.

Heavenly, geographically, and harmonious, what is the precious "accidental" and "meeting", without warning, can not be copied, but can stay infinitely aftertaste... Qiansongba, named after the tens of thousands of original spruce growing in the valley gully It is a virgin forest landscape featuring natural secondary forests on the grasslands of Bashang. Tens of thousands of original spruces are grown in the valley gullies of each mountain. These spruce shapes are different, the branches are tall and straight, the leaves are rich, the head is like an umbrella cover, and the average age is 280 years. Each of them is a veritable "longevity", which is the largest natural spruce forest in North China. Qiansongba is the home of the tree. The birch groves on both sides of the valley are endless and very shocking. The white and smooth bark of the birch tree is delicate and silky. The brown canopy is under the blue sky and white clouds. The more and more layers are distinct. The posture of a plant is tall and straight, and it stands straight in front of your eyes. It looks extraordinarily heroic.

Living in the south all year round, there is very little opportunity to see snow, let alone experience snow activities! This time I came to China's Ma Town and finally got a wish. It was such a great experience to ride a snowmobile on the snow. With the opening of the Mazhen Binghuo Festival, I can still experience the hot pot on the ice. The hot pot made by the ice sculpture is eating a hot pot. Its full of fun when its ice!

Many beautiful grasslands aren't official attractions—they might just be a random spot by the roadside that you can walk into, and it's stunning. Most places are free of charge! There are no villagers or animals to disturb you. Just remember to protect the environment and avoid stepping on the grass! Here are a few personally tested spots that I found incredibly relaxing: 1⃣️ Daliu Bacha: This spot features lakes, herds of cattle and sheep, and woodlands. It's super peaceful and comfortable, with almost no passersby. You can drive a small car to the entrance and then walk about 500 meters. 2⃣️ Yushugou Village: A village surrounded by grasslands.

It's convenient for washing up here. The mountain tops are already blooming with flowers, making it a great spot to catch a sunrise and sea of clouds in the morning. You'll feel like the trip was totally worth it! 4⃣️ Shangwopu: Nestled in a valley with herds of cattle and sheep, winding streams, and a tea shed run by a herder nearby. It's very relaxing and rarely disturbed by others. You can hike deep into the forest, where the blue skies and white clouds are absolutely breathtaking! 5⃣️ Bashang Wetland opposite the manor: Known as Little Altay, this area is surrounded by mountains and features small rivers along the way. You might even encounter sheep and cattle grazing nearby. 6️⃣ Zandan Manor's Tent Area: You can directly relax in the tent area without any camping preparations. Hot and cold water, showers, and restrooms are all available. Each room even has tea sets. Located by the small river near the manor, you can enjoy the forest, stream, and grassland—pure bliss!
