Summer vacation with kids heading north to the Pingdingshan Volcanic Geological Park in Xilinhot! Not far from the city, we stayed near the horse capital, drove over in about 20 minutes, the ticket was 20 yuan + 50 yuan for the sightseeing car. The sightseeing car takes you from the ticket office to the foot of the mountain, I timed it, it took less than seven minutes. If you don't mind the fatigue, you can also walk there yourself. Pingdingshan, as the name suggests! The top of the mountain is really flat, with a group of about ten volcanoes of various sizes, covered in green as far as the eye can see. In the vast grassland, it feels quite spectacular. Actually, the mountain tops are not high, it takes about half an hour to climb to the top! There are also a few bare mountain tops, completely without any greenery. I really wanted to go over and take some photos, that kind of wasteland style would definitely make great pictures. Unfortunately, it was inconvenient with the kids, so we just took a few photos from a distance as a memento! At the top of the mountain, it is flat and covered with stones, naturally formed. Many children were picking up volcanic stones, while we looked into the distance at the different landforms and scenery! The blue sky, white clouds, and green mountains connected together, vast and spectacular. The beautiful scenery at this moment made me sigh, it was worth the trip. The wind at the top of the mountain was strong, hair flying, clothes swaying, just like our mood at this moment: soaring!

There is a super long volcanic belt in Inner Mongolia, so I encountered a group again today. Although they are also volcanoes, this volcano is different from yesterday's Wulanhada. Moreover, you can see it just by passing by on the highway, making it irresistible to stop (there are designated parking spots) to take photos. Whether viewed from afar or up close, it is equally stunning! The volcano at Pingdingshan has a visibly flat top, forming a perfect parallel line with the distant grasslands. This is not man-made; it is purely the work of nature. After learning about it, I found out that this type of landform is called a "Belik multi-step lava plateau" in geological terms. It is formed by the combined effects of river cutting and wind and rain erosion. In other words, the vast land we see today was once a vast expanse of water (possibly a sea or a large lake) a long, long time ago. After millions of years of evolution, we now have this amazing natural wonder. There is still a scientific expedition boardwalk from those years at the foot of the mountain. Visitors can now climb to the top of the volcano via newly built steps to take life-changing photos. However, there are no railings at the top, and the gravel is quite large and uneven, so don't go too far out. Just improve your and your friends' photography skills a bit, and you won't need to take risks. p.s. Honestly, there is so much of the world and knowledge that you don't know until you go out. Cherish every day of learning while you're out and about! p.p.s. The weather on the grasslands changes frequently, with rainbows appearing and disappearing quickly. It's so hard to catch them!

Speaking of Pingdingshan, the more listeners should be the one in Henan. There is also a Pingding Mountain in Xilin Gol. Pingdingshan is a unique mountain formed by volcanic eruptions. From afar, there are more than 10 mountains on the flat grassland. These hilltops are all flat like a tabletop. If you look around, you will find the mountain covered with tuff blocks left by volcanic eruptions. However, since it is an attraction here, it is natural to bring some legendary colors. Legend has it that Genghis Khan chased a white fox here, and the white fox suddenly disappeared. Genghis Khan pulled out his sword and waved it.

On the road, after Pingdingshan, which had not been visited yesterday, the mountains are cuddled by each other, arranged in large and small order, while the top is cut like a knife, which constitutes a strange scenery. Legend has it that several mountains blocked the army of Genghis Khan, and Genghis Khan Suludin waved it and cut it into the present. Looking at the wonders of the Pingding Mountain, the best sunrise at sunrise and sunset, the morning glow puts a layer of rouge on the Pingding Mountain, making the mountains look extraordinarily charming; the afterglow of the sunset shines over the grasslands at sunset, people can clearly see the sun sinking Earth. In the evening sun, the people in the mountains and valleys are more embarrassing.

After a night of rest, the next morning, we continued to leave. Although the daily sleep time is not enough in these days, but the companions are like me, like a chicken blood, do not want to miss any beauty. Yesterday, I didn't have time to go to Pingdingshan, so early in the morning, we quickly made up for the regret. Pingdingshan is located 20 kilometers away from the Xizhang Highway. It is a unique mountain formed by volcanic eruptions. Seen from the top of the road, these hilltops are all flat like a tabletop. If you look around, you will find that the hills are covered with tuff blocks left by volcanic eruptions. The mountains here are intertwined, arranged in large and small order, and the tops of the various peaks are flattened like a sword, forming a strange landscape. This is the famous Saibei scenery. - Pingdingshan wonders. It is said that the view of the Pingdingshan Mountain is the best time at sunrise or sunset. At sunrise, the morning glow makes the mountains and mountains full of enchanting. At sunset, the afterglow of the sunset spreads over the grasslands, and you can clearly see the fiery red sun slowly sinking into the earth. In the evening glow, the people in the mountains are smashing, and the scenery of the grasslands is fascinating. It is full of thoughts. We missed yesterday's sunset and missed today's sunrise (the sunrise time is really too early, it won't be the key). You can only turn on the self-timer mode on the unmanned road. You Not to mention, this road is very good. Continue to go forward and see the wind turbines along the road. The scale is quite large, as if I went to the Netherlands at once. I heard that the wind turbines here are imported from abroad, and each one is not cost. Philippines!

Pingding Mountain, also known as Bellec Ranch, is located 2 km west of the 207 National Road in the south of Xilinhot City. It is a volcanic eruption hundreds of millions of years ago, so this land is called the Xilin Gol Prairie Geopark. From afar, the flat grassland presents more than 10 mountaintops that are as flat as a knife. The hillside cliffs are steep and arranged in an orderly manner. In this prairie, it becomes a maverick landscape. There is also a folklore about this mountain. Legend has it that Genghis Khan chased a white fox here, and the white fox suddenly disappeared. Genghis Khan pulled out his sword and waved it, flattening the summit. Whether the legend is true or not, you can identify it yourself. The mountain with the observation deck can climb up on foot. It takes about five minutes to reach the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain, you can see that the mountains are rugged and covered with tuff rocks left by volcanic eruptions of different sizes. Blocks, many places where the bedrock is bare and the vegetation is sparse, but the traces left by the volcanic eruption have so far formed a peculiar landscape. The best shooting time for Pingding Mountain is sunrise and sunset. Although we are in a hurry, we don't see the sunset, and we don't see the sunrise, but the blue sky and white clouds are enough to satisfy my little heart.
