Keshiketeng Grassland

Keshiketeng Grassland

Keshiketeng Grassland is the most beautiful and closest grassland to Beijing, often referred to as the "Microcosm of Inner Mongolia." It is composed of a diverse array of unique and rare geological and landform features such as grasslands, forests, lakes, rivers, high mountains, sandy areas, hot springs, stone forests, glacial potholes, and volcanic clusters. The nature reserves and national geoparks in Inner Mongolia's Keshiketeng Grassland boast stunning geographical environments, an abundance of natural wonders, lush surface vegetation, and rich wildlife resources, making it a golden tourism region and a base for wild green produce in Inner Mongolia.

Traveling in Keshiketeng allows you not only to enjoy the vast beauty of the grasslands but also to breathe in the fresh air of pristine forests, play with rare birds in the lakes, experience thrilling rafting, go sandboarding and grass sliding in highland woodlands, embark on mysterious desert forest explorations, visit the cool retreat of the sandy spruce forests, relax in the Hot Water Hot Springs — known as China’s premier wellness destination. Soaking in these healing waters not only beautifies and rejuvenates the skin but also promotes blood circulation, relieves muscle tension, and aids in recovery from ailments. Head to Arshihaty to witness the largest and most spectacular granite stone forest in China, explore the mystery behind the formation of millennia-old glacial potholes, wander through birch forests — where you might just hear the serene melodies of "Birch Forest" playing in your mind, and step into a photographer’s paradise. Here, you can recreate scenes from famous film and TV shoots, even stepping into the shoes of your favorite stars, and with luck, sharing the screen with them. Experience the rich and distinctive nomadic culture, savor authentic grassland cuisine, delve into the ancient Hongshan culture, and uncover the precious relics left by our ancestors. In 2008, the Olympic torch relay passed through this very land. The beautiful and mystical Keshiketeng Grassland of Inner Mongolia, a world-class geopark and a renowned national filming location, has in recent years been covered by numerous established nature reserves and national parks at various levels. As a result, Hexigten Banner in Chifeng City has become the county in China with the highest number of national-level nature reserves and national parks.
