Grassland: Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia?|||When it comes to grasslands, Hulunbuir often comes to mind. With the rise of tourism and short videos, Xinjiang has also become a popular destination. Some argue that Xinjiang has its own Altay, so why settle for a substitute? Every place, every landscape, is uniquely crafted by nature, each possessing its own distinct beauty. Inner Mongolia has two major grassland areas. First, Hulunbuir, located in eastern Inner Mongolia, is quite far from southern cities. It's a vast, boundless expanse of nomadic grassland. Second, the Ulan Butong Grassland, also in eastern Inner Mongolia, is over a thousand kilometers from Hulunbuir—just imagine how vast Inner Mongolia is! Ulan Butong is situated south of Keshiketeng Banner in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, near the cities of Chengde, Chifeng, Duolun, and Keshiketeng Banner. The Ulan Butong Grassland features rolling hills, sandy lands, small shrubs, birch forests, and rivers. It offers European-style scenery and served as the filming location for famous TV series like "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" and "Kangxi Dynasty's" battle scenes with Galdan. It's a favorite among photographers and off-road enthusiasts. Attractions around Ulan Butong include Dali Lake, the 5A-rated Aobao Stone Forest, Huanggangliang Forest Park, Baiyin Aobao Nature Reserve, and Gongger Grassland. If you have enough time, you can easily spend a week exploring the Keshiketeng Banner area. For experiencing Mongolian culture, head to Hulunbuir. For simply enjoying grassland scenery, Ulan Butong is ideal. The grassland isn't the destination; the journey itself is where you savor the scenery. Regardless of which grassland you choose, the grass starts sprouting in May and the scenery is at its best by June.

The Re'a Highway is packed with cars, as everyone loves to see the scenery on the main road. However, the scenery on the side roads is even better: 👍 Top Recommendation 1: Popular Scenic Spot: The autumn scenery at Huanggangliang is at its peak, with golden larch trees. You can hike a few hundred meters into the forest near the dam to enjoy the scenery up close. A scenic area is being developed here, and three hiking routes have already been developed. 👍 Top Recommendation 2: Lesser-known Hiking Route: Northwest of Huanggangliang, drive along the Re'a Highway for about 10 minutes, and you will see a "Chamu Scenic Area" archway on the left. Drive a few kilometers in, and you will see golden forests with almost no one around. It is said that you can hike back to Huanggangliang, but we only drove about 5 kilometers. 📝 Tips: ① This hiking route has poor roads, no navigation, and it is easy to get lost. ② You can frequently hear the roars of wild animals (confirmed to be red deer). Later, we saw herds of red deer and roe deer, which can be dangerous. Do not disturb the wild animals too much. Taken on October 5, 2024

||Huanggangliang: Walk into the forest and enjoy the unique scenery. Huanggangliang is actually a scenic spot on the Rea Line. The Rea Line is a flat asphalt road that connects these scenic spots. Therefore, you can drive along this road and stop to take photos at any time. The scenery becomes more and more beautiful as you go further, so you don't need to waste too much time at the beginning. Accommodation: You can stay in Linxi County. There are many newly opened hotels that are clean and cheap. It is a 30-minute drive from the starting point of the Rea Line and the road is easy to navigate. You can also stay directly in Reshuitang. The room rate is much more expensive than that in Linxi, but it is okay in the off-season. Route: Navigation ➡ Reshuitang ➡ Henhei Village ➡ Huanggangliang ➡ Stone Forest. This route is friendly to all vehicles! There are no bomb pits, but there are no street lights.
