Bashang Grassland is the closest grassland to Beijing, not only with alpine meadows, colorful flowers, lakes and forests, herds of cattle and horses, is the first choice for many tourists from Beijing and Tianjin to travel by car.
On the Zhangjiakou Dam in autumn, the autumn is high and refreshing, full of dazzling colors, attracting visitors to come to "check in".
"It is more than 200 kilometers away from Beijing, and it only takes more than three hours to drive, and you can see the intoxicating grassland scenery." On September 16, Li Qiang, a young man who drove from Beijing, couldn't help but admire, "accompany you to see the grassland on the dam" has been his and friends' priority for holiday play.
The green mountains are the curtain, and the green grass is the platform. Walking along the grassland road, one of the "most beautiful highways in China", the fragrance of flowers and grass comes to the nose, and the rolling grass waves and colorful flowers outline an intoxicating grassland beauty.

"The roads are high and low, and it's fun to drive!" Li Qiang and his friends opened the car window and indulged in songs.
The Grassland Sky Road is an asphalt road on the dam. Driving on it, you can see the scenery of rivers and mountains, hills and ravines, meadows, cattle and sheep, and the Great Wall.
Driving north, we came to the Zhongdu grassland in Zhangbei County. Nearly 20,000 acres of contiguous grassland are green and verdant.
Liu Yihai, director of the Zhangbei County Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports Bureau, who traveled with reporters, introduced that the Zhongdu grassland is an important part and essence of the Xilin Gol grassland, where the ecosystem is complete, and the ancients had the song of "Shaping grass can see endlessly", "the wind blows the white grass and the sky is endless", and "the deep grass lies on the sheep and horses".
The grass and the sky are connected, cows, sheep, and horses are herds, one after another large or small blisters, the air is filled with the smell of grass and earth, and the wind of the grassland in the ears is "singing" very cheerfully......
"It's so cool!" Li Qiang and a few friends parked their cars on the side of the road, opened their arms one by one, and shouted into the distance.
"The grassland ecology here is good, the air is fresh, and the climate is cool in summer. Coming out of the metropolis, you can really find that feeling of being happy here. Li Qiang said.
The Zhongdu Primitive Grassland Resort in the hinterland of the grassland is a national 4A-level grassland leisure tourism scenic spot, which is particularly magnificent from a distance.

"Look! The resort has the world's largest Mongolia bag, which can accommodate up to 2,000 people at a time. In the evening, there is a large-scale live song and dance drama "Zhongdu · Yin" performance, and you can also watch the tree flowers and experience the bonfire party, which is very lively. Li Qiang introduced to friends who came to Zhangbei for the first time that there are all kinds of special entertainment projects on the grassland such as horseback riding and archery.
Liu Yihai said that the Zhongdu Primitive Grassland Resort was built in the early 90s of the 20th century. In recent years, the development of the resort has been getting better and better, and it has become one of the important destinations for grassland tours in Bashang. In just about three months of operation every year, it receives more than 260,000 tourists.
After passing the Zhongdu Primitive Grassland Resort, we continued to run to the depths of the grassland, and it was a surprise all the way.
"Wow, that's a lot of horses!" Li Qiang's companion shouted.
I saw that on the grasslands on both sides of the road, hundreds of sturdy horses were grazing with their heads down, running freely, or raising their heads and neighing, and the scene was spectacular.
"Every time I come, I have a different experience, and it's so enjoyable." Li Qiang, on horseback, tugging on the reins, was overflowing with excitement.
The grassland on the dam is not only grass and horses, but also charming and colorful grassland and wetland.

A few kilometers away from Zhongdu Primitive Grassland Resort is Huanggainao National Wetland Park. Due to the abundant rainfall in recent years, the lake area of Huanggai Nao Wetland has reached 1,000 hectares, the largest in the past 20 years.
The surface of the lake is like a mirror, surrounded by grassland and trees, and there are water birds flying low in the middle of the lake from time to time...... Huang Gai Nao is like a bright pearl, adding a bit of tranquility to the grassland.
Feeling the passion on horseback and facing the quiet and elegant Huang Gainao, Li Qiang and his partners suddenly calmed down again and silently admired the lake in front of them.
The beautiful scenery should be appreciated, and the food should also be tasted. In the evening, Li Qiang and his entourage rushed to a farmhouse he frequented and turned on the "check-in" roast whole sheep mode...... (Hebei Daily reporter Li Yanhong)
