Beijing-Taipusi Banner itinerary
Beijing-Taipusi Banner, November 23, 2008. Try not to drive directly in. When driving in, follow the existing ruts and don't drive around. Because after vehicles pass by, the grass that has been run over by the wheels will gradually turn yellow, leaving long-lasting ruts that will not fade, and even cause permanent damage to the grassland.
Route: Beijing - Badaling Expressway - Kangzhuang Toll Station $ 35 - Beijing-Zhangjiakou Expressway - 75km - Intersection 01 - Intersection 02 - Ladan Expressway - Pass Kangzhuang Toll Station and enter Hebei; Intersection 01 towards Zhangjiakou Take Danla Expressway; do not go to Zhangjiakou urban area after intersection 02, continue to take the expressway; go to intersection 03 and take the newly opened Zhangshi Expressway in Zhangbei; take the Zhangbei South Exit and get on National Highway 207; pass through Zhangbei County, pass through the county seat, and in Turn right at the intersection in the direction of Xilinhot and continue on National Highway 207; enter Inner Mongolia through the No. 3 toll station and continue to Taipusi Banner. Travel notes: After passing Zhangbei, you can see the grassland scenery, but more of it has been reclaimed into farmland, so it is not recommended to stay here.
After entering Inner Mongolia, enter the Gongbaolage Grassland. This is the real grassland scenery. Groups of cattle and sheep can be seen on the roadside, and the grassland has become wider. There are many resorts along the roadside, some of which are Original Rainbow and Tiandi etc. Before entering Changbao Town, there is a larger resort on the right, the name of which I forgot. You can also live directly in Changbao Town (Taipusi Banner), which is also very close. The local specialty food is milk tea series food and finger meat, you still have to try it. Horse riding is a major tourist attraction, with horse owners congregating mainly around the larger resorts mentioned above. In many cases, the price for tourists will be quoted as 70 yuan/hour, which can be lowered to 40 yuan/hour.
You can also go to the village to find horses and trade with the horse owner alone, with a minimum price of 20 yuan/hour. If you are good at cycling, you can negotiate for 50 yuan for free, and then ride around by yourself and enter the depths of the grassland. Very fun. The feeling of grassland along the highway will be a little worse. In order to better appreciate the feeling of the grassland, you should leave the highway and enter the depths of the grassland. It's best to go in on horseback or on foot. It didn't take long before it felt good.
Note: Try not to drive directly into the car. When you get into your car, follow the existing ruts and don't drive around by yourself. Because once a vehicle passes by, the grass that has been run over by the wheels will gradually turn yellow, leaving ruts that will not fade for a long time, and even cause permanent damage to the grassland.

On the 3rd, it was a hot summer, and I was traveling by car , looking for coolness, Inner Mongolia grassland, self-driving tour, Beijing. In the hot days, we spent three days driving north to experience the vastness of the Hunshandake Desert and Xilin Gol Grassland. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, we breathed in the fresh and sweet air brought by the grassland, fell into the embrace of nature, and enjoyed a little relaxation. Here is what we saw and heard along the way: Day 1: 11:10 am , we set off from the Little Street Bridge, the odometer returning to zero. Take Badaling Expressway at 1.30 and exit Changping Beiguan for 15 yuan.
Arrived at Lushen Road of Ming Tombs at 2.00, refueled, and had dinner before the tomb dedication (bring your own lunch). 2.30 After a 48-kilometer journey, we arrived in Yanqing and set foot on the mountain ridge. The roads around Lianhua Mountain are being renovated so that cars with high chassis can easily pass. However, the Alto we went with dragged the floor and even crashed through. Arrive at Baihebao Reservoir, the third largest drinking water reservoir in Beijing (Miyun and Guanting) at 2:00 pm.
The scenery is nice. Let's stop and take photos. Arrive at Chicheng, Hebei Province at 4.30. On the winding mountain road, clusters of sunlight shot through the clouds towards the mountains, and we were shocked into a radiant world. Excitement, excitement, parking, taking photos.
After passing Chicheng, we went straight to Guyuan, passing Gangou, Maoyu and Xiaochang. First of all, there are very few cars and people on the road in Mapingchuan. Against the background of blue sky and white clouds, there are only large grasslands and herds of cattle and sheep bathing in the golden sunset. What a beautiful view from the dam! We had to stop frequently to take photos. At this time, the temperature inside the car is 29.3 degrees and the temperature outside the car is 28.5 degrees, which is 8-9 degrees lower than in Beijing. At about 7:15, we got off the asphalt road and drove on the 43-kilometer bumpy dirt road from Guyuan to Taipusi Banner (Changbao).
It took us nearly an hour to complete the trail. During this time, we were lucky enough to witness the ever-changing colors of the sunset. Around 8.20, we arrived at Taipusi Banner. This is the banner closest to Hebei in Inner Mongolia. The town is small, with a road running through it. We stayed in a large car shop run by a hotel. Food was 10 yuan per person; accommodation was 10 yuan per person (quadruple room). You need a quilt to sleep here at night.
The next day: Depart from Taipusi Banner at 5:00 in the morning and continue north along National Highway 207. It is 342 kilometers away from Beijing. At this time, the temperature inside the car is 14.10 degrees and the temperature outside the car is 13.60 degrees. In Qamdo, we refueled for the second time (50). The gas cost here is similar to that in Beijing and not expensive.
We arrived at Zhenglan Banner at 6.40, had breakfast and drank milk tea at a roadside restaurant. Hit the road on 7.10 and prepare to cross the Hunshandake Desert, the desert closest to Beijing. Unfortunately, it was recorded by the Inner Mongolia traffic police on 7.20. Lao Li was fined 200 yuan for not wearing a seat belt, which was changed to 60 yuan after bargaining. The toll between the various leagues in Inner Mongolia is less than 10 yuan. We passed by: Ximen Zhenglan Banner and Sangenda Lai. The fee is 10 yuan each time.
Due to the ban on grazing, the Hunshandake Desert is very green. The desert is almost covered with sagebrush and shrubs and looks green. In addition, there are many trees. The exposed desert hills were manually inserted with wooden sticks and marked with dense squares to solidify the sand dunes. At noon, we arrived at Uztu in the middle of the Hunshandake Desert. We went to the herdsman's house in two ways, walked along the sand dunes and enjoyed the shade of the trees. Interestingly, when the sun is strong at noon, I generally understand that the desert should be very hot, but I didn't expect that it is so cool in the shade, and I need to wear long-sleeved clothes to keep warm. Passers-by going to the herdsman's house met the herdsman Origler on the road. He warmly invited us to visit their home. We were very touched by the enthusiasm of the grassland people. On 1.15, accompanied by Daolang's "Love Song of the Western Regions", we walked into the Xilin Gol Grassland. The vast grassland stretches as far as the eye can see. Only by personal experience can you understand why the grassland singers sing like that. Because it is so vast, the grassland and the sky are harmonious. The ever-changing clouds in the sky make people feel that they are within reach. The weather on the grassland is changeable, sometimes it's stormy, sometimes it's sunny. We stayed in the grassland for half a day, and the temperature difference actually reached 17-18 degrees. There is a wetland 100 kilometers away from Xilinhot, called Kale
We arrived in Xilinhot at 2:00 pm and had mutton hot pot in Yining grassland. The price and meat quality are the same as ordinary small and medium-sized hot pot restaurants in Beijing. During the dinner, I heard that the 303 National Highway from Xilinhot to Dalai Ruoer is 80 kilometers long. I considered having an Alto companion, so I canceled my plan to go to Huda and returned the same way. Crossing the grassland and desert again, we walk with the clouds. When dark clouds come, we will catch a heavy rain; when the weather is fine, the clouds are as thin as cicadas, floating in the sky like a layer of gauze. Rainbows are also constantly changing and appearing around us. The sun shines through the clouds, making the entire grassland unpredictable.
We are marching on the brilliant grassland. Its beauty is beyond words! At 8 o'clock in the evening, we arrived at Taipusi Banner. After discussion, we all agreed to arrive in Guyuan that night and have room and board in Guyuan that night. 20/standard room. Others go directly to Big Beach and stay in Toutou Village for 10 yuan/person. Day 3: Take a walk around Toutou Village at 8:30 in the morning. Comrades living in Toutou Village have already ridden out of the ditch.
I believe everyone who has been to Fengning Bashang knows that at this time, the small flowers scattered all over the mountains and plains on the dam are colorful and beautiful on the green grassland. There is no charge for our trip from Guyuan Dam. The only drawback was that there were too many cars in Beijing, so we didn’t have a stopover.
Before the large group returned to Beijing, we walked through Huairou, ran to Yongning at Tanghekou, took the Badaling Expressway in Yanqing County, and arrived in Beijing at 5:30 pm. The total distance is 1,300 kilometers.
Tips: 1. Although all roads are asphalt (except for the 43-kilometer dirt road in Taipusi Banner, Guyuan), the conditions on the road are constantly changing. It is best to drive a car with a higher chassis, four-wheel drive is not necessary.
2. Bring some long-sleeved clothes and pants. The temperature difference in the grassland is large.
3. The tolls for crossing roads and bridges along the way are very low (70 yuan per day).
Per capita cost: 250 yuan to 310 yuan (four people/car)
