The cool and pleasant Taizi Lake Grassland Resort is an ideal place for summer and autumn retreats as well as sightseeing.

Taizi Lake got its name from a local legend. It is said that over 700 years ago, Wokuotai, the third son of Genghis Khan, accompanied by his minister Muqali, came here and stopped his horse at the mountaintop. There he saw a lake embraced by mountains to the north and south, surrounded by green trees, and as clear as a mirror. Lush grasslands were home to badgers and roe deer, with flowers blooming in competition, and a refreshing breeze brought a sense of tranquility. He repeatedly exclaimed, "Sa’nao (wonderful)! Sa’nao (wonderful)!"

From then on, he often left the palace for pleasure trips here. Hence, the lake was named Taizi Lake. After the construction of Yuan Zhongdu, emperors, princes, and nobles also frequently hunted and enjoyed leisure here.

Blue skies, clear waters, green trees, uniquely designed buildings, and scattered herds of livestock create the distinctive grassland nomadic charm of the Taizi Lake Grassland Resort. The lake’s shimmering waters teem with playful fish. Sitting on a cruise boat or speedboat gliding across the lake, you can fully appreciate the highland “water town” scenery described by the lines “the flowers by the river at sunrise are redder than fire, and the river water in spring is as blue as indigo.”

The lakeside villas on both the north and south banks, nestled among green trees, can accommodate over 350 diners, over 150 overnight guests, and host meetings for more than 60 people. Here, you can enjoy mouthwatering milk tea, fine wines, lamb, mushrooms, and Mongolian song and dance performances, all complemented by top-notch service that makes you feel transcendent. On both the north and south shores, there are fishing ponds and swimming pools covering over 200 square meters each. In the fishing pond, fish swim freely while anglers relax by the shore; in the swimming pool, you’ll find it hard to tear yourself away. Located upstream on the lake is a racetrack spanning over 5,000 square meters where you can ride horses or camels across the vast grasslands, sparking your imagination. The surrounding three hills are connected by winding mountain paths that lead directly to the summits, where you'll find Mongolian yurts, couple yurts, tents for cooling off and lodging. From the mountaintops, you can take in panoramic views of the lake, grasslands, forests, flowers, and visitors.

The Taizi Lake Grassland Resort offers the perfect combination of mountains, water, grasslands, and forests, along with

unique modern architecture, creating a cool and tranquil environment—making it an excellent destination for travel, summer retreats, vacations, leisure, and conferences.
