Chifeng Suffering Trip is Over, Really Don't Recommend Coming in June

🌟 Chifeng June Travel|Desert Starry Sky + Grassland Horse Riding! 2-Day Intensive Itinerary & Pitfall Guide 🌟 Located in southeastern Inner Mongolia, Chifeng is a "frankenstein" of grasslands, deserts, stone forests, and lakes! In June, daytime temperatures hover around 25°C while nights get chilly. The grasslands turn as green as a Windows desktop, the desert won't burn your feet, and the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye 🌌! Best part—few tourists and wild scenery mean no need to photoshop out crowds in your pictures! 🚗【2-Day Intensive Route】20,000 steps daily but totally worth it! Day 1: Desert Adventure + Grassland Sunset 🌅 Morning: Yulong Sand Lake (Must-visit!) Activities: Camel riding 🐫, desert off-roading (screaming fun!), sand sliding (watch your butt). The container hotel makes for cool photos, and the sand lake looks like an emerald in the desert 💎! Pro tip: Evening light in the desert is magical—wear a red dress for instant Instagram-worthy shots! 🌞 Noon: Lunch in a Mongolian yurt Order "hand-grabbed lamb + sand onion mashed potatoes" at the scenic spot restaurant—the lamb is so tender it bursts with juice, and the sand onions refresh your palate! 🌇 Evening: Gongger Grassland (Free!) Activities: Horse riding 🎠 (safer with local herders), sunset watching (sky turns pink-purple!), staying in a yurt (stargazing at night ✨). Warning: The grassland gets so cold at night you'll want a down jacket, but electric blankets save the day! Day 2: Stone Forest Wonders + Hot Spring Relaxation 🌅 Morning: Arxan Stone Forest Activities: Explore granite stone forests 🗿 (like alien terrain!), hike through canyons (bring water—pricey in the park). 🌞 Noon: Reshui Town Hot Springs ♨️ Soak in the "Oriental Divine Spring" (¥100+/person) to recover from hiking—your skin will feel silky smooth~ 🌇 Evening: Explore Chifeng City Visit "Siqin Ama Milk Tea House" for salty milk tea + cheese pizza 🍕—the dairy flavors are intoxicating! 🔥【Must-Do List】Miss these and your trip is wasted! Yulong Sand Lake: Desert off-roading at ¥150/person—thrilling enough to make your soul leave your body! Arxan Stone Forest: ¥120 ticket—the stone stacks look like giant building blocks, and the hikes are awe-inspiring! Gongger Grassland: Free! Horse riding at ¥100/hour, sunsets so beautiful they take your breath away~ Siqin Ama Milk Tea House: A city must-eat! Dairy products come in so many varieties you'll get decision fatigue. Reshui Hot Springs: Your skin will glow afterward—a lifesaver for overworked professionals! 🏨【Accommodation Recs】Tested and approved! Yulong Sand Lake Container Hotel: ¥700+/night—step outside into the desert, perfect for nighttime star photography! Gongger Grassland Yurts: ¥300+/night—comes with electric blankets and WiFi (heartwarming!), herders are super friendly~ 🚌【Transport Tips】Save money & avoid pitfalls Flights/trains: Arrive in Chifeng City, then charter a car to attractions (off-road vehicles ¥500/day—regular cars get stuck in grasslands!) Buses: Take Bus 37 from downtown to the museum (free!), but grasslands require self-driving/tours. Suffering alert: Grassland pit toilets…drink less water! 🍖【5 Must-Try Foods】So delicious it'll make kids next door cry! Roasted lamb back: Crispy skin, tender meat, served with ceremonial flair! Dry-fried Huazi fish: Specialty of Dali Lake—crunchy outside, tender inside, like a fish-potato chip hybrid! Chifeng "duijia": Flaky pastry with smoked meat—so crumbly it's the ultimate breakfast! Cheese pizza: Stretchy cheese + milky sweetness—a sweet-salty lover's dream! Stone-grilled meat: Lamb cooked with basalt stones—so fresh you'll lick your fingers! 💰【2-Day Cost Breakdown】Painful but worth it! Transport: Charter car ¥1000 (¥250/person if split 4 ways) + gas/off-road fees. Tickets: Yulong Sand Lake + Stone Forest ≈ ¥270, hot springs ¥100. Food/lodging: Yurts ¥300 + restaurants ¥150/person/day—dairy products will empty your wallet! Verdict: Wallet got lighter, but social media blew up—worth every penny! 📌【Final Tips】Decide after reading! ✅ Why go: Wild scenery, few tourists, hearty food, no competition for photo spots! ❌ Why not: Poor transport (best for self-driving/charters), huge temperature swings (bring a down jacket!). Chifeng feels like a forgotten treasure! Ride horses and feast on lamb by day, lie on the grassland counting stars at night—even the June breeze feels free~ If this guide helped you dodge pitfalls, don't forget to like ❤️ and save ⭐️!

Back from Chifeng, I really don't recommend going in March. I came to this city because of a song.
