You can visit volcanoes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Volcano 6 is a popular check-in point, and the photos are amazing. Enter from volcano 8, and the scenery is beautiful and there are many people. However, the "astronaut's perspective" of volcano 6 is the most amazing! There is a carnival at volcano 3 in the evening, and there is a fireworks show every Saturday, where you can eat baked potatoes, and the atmosphere is super high! 🌿Huitengxile Grassland This grassland is also free! In winter, the grassland is covered with snow, quiet and magnificent, and compared with the vibrant summer, it has a different flavor. 🏠Accommodation recommendation: In summer, we recommend Xingyu Campground, which has a 1,600-meter-long grass slide, which is super exciting!

Muma Rennai Teahouse, in Ulanqab is a breakfast experience that is one of the best I have had, anywhere and I have been a lot of places around the world. The restaurant was filled and it is clear why this is the go to place to start the day. The spaces go up and around so don’t be discouraged by a crowd. It is a traditional Mongolian breakfast, so like many other places there is a lot of lamb in many different forms and flavors. The centerpiece, figuratively and literally is the milk tea. It was assembled for us by a local friend so a lot happened quickly, but along with the milk and tea were several kinds of cheeses mixed in. The result is a wonderful slightly savory, lightly fragrant, rich warm milky broth. Dishes served included the traditional spicy lamb breakfast stew, locally spiced tea eggs, and a vast array of breads, stuffed buns and the best fresh yogurt with a small drizzle of local honey. The buns included ones with mushrooms and local chopped greens and another roasted bun with chopped lamb. I can easily imagine a time when a traveler would be riding off on horse( or camel) after an early breakfast with a n extra warm bun stuffed into some pockets for later. #cafe,#foodie ,#innermongolia , #ulanqab

Covering an area of about 65km, these amazing volcanoes can be found during your trip to Inner Mongolia. Visiting the Wulanhada Geopark is completely free and you can choose to walk around the volcanoes or drive to several of them throughout the day (recommended). More than 30 volcanoes here are distributed like a string of beads on the grassland, and the flat terrain shows off the shape of the volcanoes perfectly. Because of its unique volcanic geology and landform, this unique "volcanic grassland", is known as the "natural volcano museum", and definitely worth a visit. But out of the 30, there are 8 main volcanoes to see and climb. are arranged from northeast to southwest respectively, with a total distance of about 10 kilometers. The big ones are Volcano No.3️⃣ to Volcano No.8️⃣. The No.3 Volcano is half mined, and the whole volcano shows a huge gap, with a plank road to the volcano top; The No.4 Volcano was thoroughly excavated and a volcano museum was built on the original site; The No.5 Volcano is the most complete one, with a perfectly preserved central eruption volcanic shape. The slope of the No.6 Volcano was all hollowed out, leaving only a core in the middle. The No.7 and No.8 volcanoes are cone-shaped. 💥BONUS: pretend you’re in Mars! Yeap, just like my cover picture shows, Chinese had the amazing business idea to set up several trucks that provide astronaut suits 👩‍🚀 for rental! It costs ¥80 for an hour, but you can haggle the price (I paid 50). You can also have professional photographers take your picture there and they can give you smoke bombs to hold 😂 it’s really quite a hilarious scene, but a fun, unique, and tacky experience that you will only get in China! 📝 Sidenote: don’t let the pictures fool you. The climbs to the top of the volcanoes are *intense*. Somer are very steep on the way up and super slippery on the way down. Definitely a challenge! #thisischina #volcanoes #innermongolia

Poke bowl originated in Hawaii🏝Originally it was just a cold dish using various kinds of raw fish, but after the war many Japanese immigrants came to Hawaii. As a nation that also loves raw fish, they brought a special fusion of flavors. The seasoning is mainly Japanese, with sesame oil and yuzu vinegar, etc., and sushi rice as the base becomes the staple food🍙 What’s different from Japanese sashimi rice is that a lot of other ingredients are added, such as avocado and jalapeno. The menu is quite simple, with 6 preset combinations ranging from $48 to $118. The most abundant Grand Slam has all the precious ingredients such as salmon and tuna. And you can freely combine ingredients like Subway, and pair it with sushi rice or salad, which gives you a lot of freedom, and there are also a variety of fried snacks 😍 After placing the order, I saw the clerk making it in front of me. The ingredients were freshly made before lunch and the preservation process was also good. Different Pokes were put together in less than 5 minutes, and the distribution of various ingredients was very pleasing to the eye. 🐔Tender Chicken Pochi | $58 | 8/10 The main ingredients are slow-cooked chicken, crab sticks, shredded egg and tofu, served with sushi rice. The waiter was generous with his money and the deep bowl was filled to the brim. The boy was also very full. The slow-cooked chicken is tender and the Caesar salad dressing has a delicate texture and a cheesy flavor. 🦐Hip Shrimp Pochi | $78 | 8.5/10 The main ingredients are tiger shrimp, crab meat, Chinese salad and cherry tomato, and it can be flexibly paired with half rice and half vegetables, which is suitable for office workers who don’t want to eat too much. There are nearly ten tiger shrimps, and the crab meat is also fresh. The edamame has a soft and solid texture, and it is more appetizing when poured with grapefruit salad dressing. 🥗Vegetarian Friends | $48 | 7.5/10 There are vegetarians among my friends. We chose this simplest option and were pleasantly surprised. The taste of the assorted mushrooms, cucumber, cherry tomato and tofu is not too light. The aroma is fresh and natural. The unique umami flavor of the assorted mushrooms combined with the salad leaves makes us eat one mouthful after another. 🍤Fried food platter | $58 | 7.5/10 There were three of us so we were able to order an extra fried food platter, which was definitely a great value. It included fried chicken, squid rings, fried crab claws, fried cheese, shrimp jelly and fish fingers, and we got two of each. The fried shrimp was crispy on the outside and bouncy on the inside, and the squid was chewy and had a nice texture. However, the fried chicken flour was thicker than the chicken, and the meat tasted a bit weird. #Good Places to Go in the Countryside #Local Travel #foodie #Winter Travel #December Travel #Good Places to Go in Hong Kong

Ulanqabu is a small city a short train ride east of Hohhot - Inner Mongolia’s capital. Safe to say, it’s not the most interesting of places - but it is the gateway to one. Rent a car and drive a couple of hours north and you’ll be faced with a national park full of volcanoes you can climb around on and horses to run around and observe - the perfect spot for an outdoor adventure. 10/10 recommend the early wake up call to be here at sunrise - the place lights up and there’s very little better. That said, wrap up warm as it can get more than a wee bit chilly during the winter months and it can snow all the way up to May. #wintergetaway #scenicspotguide #china #sunrise #travelphotography #awesomepic #couplestrip #springholiday #travelinspiration #photography #innermongolia #nationalpark #awesomepic#naturalwonders#camping#hiking#nationalpark

When everyone says “don’t go, it’s out of season” that’s normally a sign that there’s something awesome being hidden away and that is true of Inner Mongolia. No, the grasslands weren’t green in April- but the lands were empty, like completely empty. That made it perfect for just venturing out and exploring without having to fight your way through crowds. Oh, and if you’re like me and much prefer the winter vibes and want to escape the heat then there’s no better place. While you can technically get to Ulanqabu and then hire a driver I would fully recommend renting your own car 🚗 10/10 recommended and will 10/10 come back to camp when the time comes. 🏕 #scenicspotguide#wintergetaway#newphotographer#travelinspiration#happynewyear#unforgettableexperiences#couplestrip#awesomepic#naturalwonders#culturalattractions#camping#hiking#nationalpark

The Ulan Hada Volcanic Geological Park covers an area of 65.9 square kilometers and is rich in the fourth volcanic geological site, a well-formed crater, and the north-east and north-west volcanic chains are like a string of pearls scattered on the green grassland. There are also geological relics such as jets, lava flows, and volcanic dams around them. This is the only region in the southern margin of the Inner Mongolia Plateau that has been found in volcanic eruptions. The eruption scale is large and the eruption methods are diverse. It is a natural "window" for studying the deep structure and activity of the late Quaternary in the southern margin of the Mongolian Plateau. It is also of great significance for revealing the characteristics of neotectonic activity and early warning of volcanic disasters, and has important scientific value and scientific value. Introduction card from the park About the volcano: The most famous is the No. 3 volcano (Northern Alchemy Furnace), and the 4th volcano (black brain pack) is about to be built. At present, only the No. 3 volcano has built a trail to reach the top of the volcano. The No. 5 volcano is steep. Although there is no good trail, we also saw an uncle climbing up in the wind... No. 1-2 volcano has nothing to look at. Head, so I can't find it on the map. The No. 6 volcano has been damaged and is still far away. Generally speaking, there are No. 3 volcano, No. 5 volcano and No. 6 volcano.

1. Volcanic Wonders: A Stunning "Martian" Adventure** The most unique landscape of Ulanqab is undoubtedly the **Ulanhad Volcano Group**, where over 20 volcanoes are scattered like beads across the grassland, earning it the title of "Natural Volcano Museum." Highlights include: - **No. 3 Volcano (North Alchemy Furnace)**: The easiest to climb, with a wooden walkway leading to the summit for a crater view. The red phone booth at the top is a popular photo spot. - **No. 5 Volcano**: The most well-preserved, featured on the cover of *Chinese National Geography*, but be cautious of loose rocks and steep slopes. - **No. 6 Volcano (South Alchemy Furnace)**: Its black volcanic rock terrain resembles Mars. Rent an "astronaut suit" (around ¥80) for photos, especially stunning at sunset. **2. Grassland Secrets: The "Sky Garden" of Huitengxile** **Huitengxile Grassland** (Huanghuagou) is one of the world's three major alpine meadow grasslands, with summer temperatures averaging just 18°C and wildflowers carpeting the land. Recommended activities: - Ride the **grassland train** through flower fields and mountains, as if stepping into a fairy tale. - Try **sheep-herding hikes**, following local herders for an immersive nomadic experience. - Watch the *Meeting at the Aobao* performance, featuring equestrian shows and Mongolian dances. **3. Lakes and Forests: Cool Retreats at Daihai and Sumu Mountain** - **Daihai Lake**: Inner Mongolia's third-largest inland lake, offering yacht rides and hot springs, plus ice fishing in winter. - **Sumu Mountain**: Ulanqab's highest peak (2,334m), with 78% forest coverage, is a "natural oxygen bar" perfect for summer hikes. **4. Unique Experiences: Food, Stars, and Winter Fun** - **Cuisine**: Enjoy Zhuozhi smoked chicken, oat noodles, braised lamb, and frozen potatoes—a blend of grassland and farming flavors. - **Stargazing Camping**: Marvel at the Milky Way near the volcanoes in summer, or join the "Volcano Rave" EDM festival in winter. - **Winter Skiing**: Dahewan Ski Resort features volcano-themed slopes and traditional snow games like the Nadam Festival. **5. Travel and Accommodation Tips** - **High-Speed Rail**: 1.5 hours from Beijing, 40 minutes from Hohhot. - **Stay**: Holiday Inn Express in Jining (convenient) or lakeside homestays at Laolihai (closer to nature). **Final Thoughts:** Ulanqab shines year-round—cool summers, snowy winters—where volcanoes meet grasslands, making it a "hidden gem" near Beijing.

I've found a hidden grassland with few tourists and beautiful scenery that resembles Altay. It's the Laoli Lake, located next to the Ulanqab volcanic group, which is difficult to find even on large-scale maps🌊 It's a spiritual sanctuary for a brief escape, like a "grassland Aranya"🌙 During the day, cattle and sheep are your neighbors⛺Horses come to your doorstep to graze There are also azure lakes, primitive villages, and a little lamb nursery🐏... At night, you can enjoy starry skies and bonfires✨ · 【🗺️Weekend 2-Day Itinerary】 D1: Wushengqidi-Grassland "Aranya"-Dapodi Village-Gaoda Xibu-Stay in campsite tents or homestay D2: Anzhiyuyang Camp-Laoli Lake-Return journey · 【🟢Transportation Guide】 🚗Self-driving: Navigate directly to Wushengqidi 🚅High-speed rail: Get off at "Xinghe North" station, then take a 30-minute taxi ride · 【🎈Travel Tips】 1️⃣Wushengqidi 📍Stone House: South of the restaurant, with wooden fences like those in the TV show "Flower Travels" 📍Flying Saucer🛸: Across the river from the restaurant, standing alone on the vast grassland 📍Grassland "Aranya": Take photos of white houses from below, and "sea view" shots from above 📍Little Lamb Nursery: You can get 🥕 to feed the lambs 👉🏻The surrounding villages maintain their primitive appearance, offering a wilderness feel different from the city · 2️⃣Anzhiyuyang Grasslands, sparse trees, cattle and sheep, lake water, and trees growing into rooms - how adorable!

The current ecosystem here is the result of many people's love and care... On what was once rocky, desertified land, they collected stones to build walls, allowing grass to grow again and inviting sheep to tread on it, restoring the grassland to its near-original state... It's the result of daily meticulous care and tremendous transformation over time❤️

Brief description of departure place: There are two departure points to Huitengxile Grassland: 1. Hohhot 2. Ulanqab Hohhot is the capital of Inner Mongolia. You need to arrive in Hohhot one day in advance to stay overnight. You can stroll around freely at night, such as the Dazhao Temple, the Grand Mosque, the Wuta Temple, the Hailiang Square on Zhongshan Road, etc. You can also taste delicious food such as steamed dumplings, mutton offal, shabu-shabu, ice-boiled lamb, barbecue, etc. The next morning at around 7:30, you can take a bus to Huitengxile Grassland, which is about 120 kilometers away and takes nearly 1.5 hours. It is located at the junction of Zhuozi County and Chahar Right Middle Banner east of Hohhot. It is an alpine grassland with an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters, strong winds and sunshine all year round, a wide grassland coverage area, and Asia's famous wind power generation dotted on the grassland. Huanghuagou is one of the attractions on Huitengxile Grassland. There are regular horse farms here that can provide thousands of people with horses to gallop on the grassland at the same time, and there are also helicopters to overlook the grassland from the air and other entertainment projects. Thousands of yurts are the most dazzling business cards on the grassland. Huitengxile is an ideal place to play and escape the summer heat, which is close to the capital and well protected. There are also delicious meals on the grassland, most of which are served in yurts. You can follow a reliable driver to choose a reliable restaurant for dinner. The return trip to Hohhot in the afternoon takes a little over an hour at about 17:00, and arrives in Hohhot at around 18:30. Here is a special reminder that when traveling with a group or chartering a car, you must choose a regular travel agency or driver. Safety first! In the evening, there is a high-speed train back to Beijing that can go directly to Qinghe Station to end a day's grassland trip. If you choose to depart from Ulanqab, you should buy the high-speed rail ticket at Ulanqab Station, which is closer to Beijing, Huitengxile and Ulan Hada Volcano. If you do not have other itineraries, Ulanqab Station is an ideal departure point.
