Description
Begin your journey by boarding a high-speed train from Beijing Qinghe Railway Station to Ulanqab. Relax in comfortable seats as the scenery outside the window gradually transforms from urban buildings to vast frontier wilderness, kicking off your healing journey in advance. Upon arrival at Ulanqab High-Speed Railway Station, meet your driver and enjoy a private transfer to the scenic spots, saving you all the trouble of rushing around. Head to Huiteng Xile Grassland, known as the 'Sky Grassland.' Located at an altitude of 1,800 meters, it serves as a natural summer resort. Wander through the grassland flower fields and check in at popular scenic trails and grassland mini-trains to feel the gentle breeze sweeping over the grass waves. You can also experience horse riding and aerial photography to fully immerse yourself in the unique customs of the grassland. Next, savor authentic local delicacies, including hand-served mutton, Mongolian milk tea, grassland cold dishes, and characteristic noodles. The original frontier flavors soothe your travel fatigue and recharge your energy for the afternoon tour. Proceed to Ulan Hada Volcano Geopark to visit the iconic volcanic landforms. Boasting dozens of dormant volcanoes with complete shapes and unique landscapes, it is a rare natural volcanic museum in China. Climb the volcanic boardwalks and overlook the vast volcanic wilderness from the summit. The dark lava landforms paired with the expansive sky create a stunning atmosphere, perfect for shooting dark-style wilderness photos and fresh Japanese-style landscapes. After a full day of sightseeing, enjoy a punctual private car transfer back to Ulanqab High-Speed Railway Station.
