First Grassland North of Beijing

First Grassland North of Beijing

The First Grassland North of Beijing is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

Guide: July and August are the most beautiful months on the grassland. During this time, over ten resorts on the grassland come alive with bonfire parties, ethnic songs and dances, horse racing, shooting, archery, paragliding, and other recreational activities. There are also water activities such as speedboat rides and fishing in the lake. Staying in the uniquely charming Mongolian yurts, you can enjoy roasted whole lamb, hand-pulled meat, milk tea, milk tofu, oat noodles, and other local delicacies. The Flash Lake on the grassland is home to a wide variety of fish species, offering a real treat for your taste buds. Introduction: Located in Datan Town, Fengning County, about 260 kilometers from Beijing, it sits on the plateau of Bashang and is also known as Fengning Bashang. The First Grassland North of Beijing covers an expansive area of 350 square kilometers, with an average altitude of 1,487 meters. In summer, the grass grows lush and birds sing, with flowers blooming all over the plains; in autumn, the plants wither and sway; in winter, it's covered in snow. In summer, you can pitch a tent on the grassland to escape the heat; in autumn, you can gallop freely and indulge in horse riding. Dining/Accommodation: In Bashang, you must try the local specialty—roasted whole lamb, typically priced at 10 yuan per jin (500g). Resorts offer accommodations at various levels, with small wooden cabins generally costing 200 yuan per person, large yurts around 40 yuan per person, and small yurts about 70 yuan per person. Additionally, you can stay with local farmers and herders. Transportation: Although not far from the city, transportation options here are limited, making it more suitable for self-driving trips. Alternatively, you can take buses. Departing from Beijing, you can take a long-distance bus from Dongzhimen or Muxiyuan to Fengning County (tickets cost around 30 yuan), then transfer to a minibus to reach the grassland.
