Mazon Tourist Resort
Mazon Tourist Resort is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.
China Mazon Tourist Resort is located in the northern part of Datang Town, Fengning Manchu Autonomous County, Hebei Province, 260 kilometers directly north of Beijing. As a national AAAA-level scenic area, it lies at the heart of Bashang Grassland. Relying on its natural ecology, it is a horse culture tourism town centered around a horse culture theme park, the Grassland Silk Road Performing Arts Complex, the Bashang Grassland Ice and Snow Carnival, a roasted lamb food street, a bar street, distinctive themed hotels, and shared travel accommodations.
Historical records indicate that during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, Datang Town was one of the important pastures of the Yan State. Kublai Khan trained his elite cavalry here before marching south to unify China. The Qing Dynasty established the Rehe Horse Farm here, known as Hailiutu (meaning “a place rich in water and grass”), where the most formidable cavalry—the “Rehe 100,000 Iron Cavalry”—was stationed. The first fortune of the Bashang people came from horse-leading and saddle-riding. Every household in Bashang owned horses, and horses were indispensable to their production and daily life. Today, the town has over 8,000 horses, making it the town with the largest horse population in China. Hence the name, China Mazon. Bashang Grassland has long been hailed as the “Back Garden of Beijing” and the “Cradle of Horse Riding for Beginners in Beijing.”
