Wumeng Yellow Flower Valley

Wumeng Yellow Flower Valley

The Yellow Flower Valley Scenic Area (Huitengxile) is located in the heart of the Ulanqab Grassland in central Inner Mongolia, featuring a typical high-altitude grassland terrain. In the peak of summer, it is especially renowned for its vibrant yellow flowers. Historically, this land has been contested by numerous ancient ethnic groups. When the fierce Xianbei people drove their tall carts, migrating here from the distant Lake Baikal to graze, they left behind the timeless verse: “In the Chilie Plains beneath the Yin Mountains, the sky is like a dome, covering all around.”

Spanning over fifty square kilometers, the Huitengxile Grassland boasts fertile soil and abundant rainfall. From May to September, the entire grassland flourishes with lush water and grass, blooming wildflowers, grazing livestock, melodious herding songs, and fragrant breezes, painting a beautiful springtime scene. Among them, the Yellow Flower Divine Onion Valley, hailed by visitors as the “Jiangnan of the Frontier,” offers even more poetic charm. It combines the essence of mountains and waters, featuring rugged peaks, secluded winding paths, birdsong, floral scents, and murmuring streams. Highlights include the “Twin Camel Peaks,” “Reclining Dragon Peak,” “Buddha’s Hand Mountain,” “Divine Turtle Ridge,” “Hanging Waterfall Cliff,” “Immortal’s Cave,” “Triple-tiered Spring,” “Mirror-like Sky,” “Wooden Fish Platform,” and “Divine Onion Rock,” all considered wonders of the frontier.

The Yellow Flower Valley’s over 5,000-acre Dugui Forest is dense with ancient cypresses, and its resilient green lawns are dotted with white mushrooms, yellow flowers, and lilies.

These elements add even more natural beauty. The spring scenery, natural wonders, forests, and rare flowers and plants form a vast natural garden.

“Huiteng” means “cold” in Mongolian, named for its biting winter winds and cool, pleasant summers. Several emperors of ancient northern nomadic tribes came here to escape the heat. Legend has it that the first emperor to visit was Tuoba, a founding hero of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the last was Ogedei Khan, the third son of Genghis Khan and historically known as Emperor Taizong of Yuan. Today, we too can enjoy the former summer palaces of the desert emperors. Every summer, the grassland thrives with lush water and grass, blooming flowers, grazing herds, and visitors flocking from near and far to experience this paradise on the Mongolian Plateau.
