2025 Ulan Butong Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

I solemnly declare! This is definitely the most beautiful grassland worth visiting around Beijing. It really makes people love it so much that they want to cry😭 After living in the steel and concrete jungle of the city for a long time, our hearts seem to be bound by an invisible shackle. This summer, why not put down your busy work, lie down in the embrace of nature, and feel the long-lost freedom and tranquility. After my personal experience, I can say responsibly that Ulanbutong is definitely the most worthwhile niche grassland to visit around Beijing. With only more than 800 yuan per person, you can experience the vast grasslands, lush forests, rippling blue lakes and the vast and mysterious desert. In order to give everyone a perfect trip to the grassland, I stayed up late to compile the most comprehensive guide to avoiding pitfalls on the entire Internet. Please save it quickly! 🚘【Transportation Recommendation】 There are two modes of travel for you to choose from. First, you can take the train from Beijing Chaoyang Station 🚄Go to Chifeng Station; secondly, you can also start from Beijing and navigate directly to Ulanbutong for self-driving 🚕. However, I recommend you to choose self-driving. Because the distances between various scenic spots in Ulanbutong are relatively far, public transportation is very inconvenient and taking a taxi is even more unrealistic. If you drive yourself, you can control your itinerary freely, stop when you want, leave when you want, and enjoy the fun of the journey to the fullest. 🧵【Locals recommend niche routes】 D1: Start from Beijing, pass through Yudaokou, Saihanba, finally arrive at Ulanbutong, and then go to Princess Lake. When you come to Princess Lake, you will see the lake shimmering and sparkling with golden light under the sunshine, like a huge mirror inlaid on the grassland. There is a broken tree next to it. 🌲, it is like a lonely watchman, quietly guarding the lake. Taking photos here will be very good, and every photo can become a beautiful memory of your trip. D2: In the morning, you can go to the film and television base to experience the atmosphere where the film and television dramas were once shot. Then head to Wild Duck Lake to see the wild ducks playing freely in the lake. Then arrive at Panlong Canyon and enjoy the unique canyon scenery. Then go to General's Robe, where you can choose to travel by horse, carriage or camel cart. When you sit on a horse, gallop across the grassland, and feel the breeze on your face, it is as if you have become a brave warrior. The little yellow flowers on the lake surface, like stars, amazed me and made people stop to admire them. Finally, make a deep journey through the no-man's land to explore the unknown mysterious world. D3: Go to the north shore of Lake Dari and follow the Dari Line. The Dada Line is like a green ribbon, winding across the endless grassland. Along the way, you will see cattle and sheep all over the mountains. They are scattered on the grassland like pearls, forming a beautiful pastoral picture. On the way, you will also pass Jingpeng Town and Sand Spruce. Then we went to a private ranch to experience the life of grassland herders. Then continue along the Re'a Line, which is mainly hilly and forested. The scenery here is absolutely beautiful, as if it is a painting carefully painted by nature. Taking photos here, every photo is like a work of art, which makes people marvel at the magic and beauty of nature. D4: Come to Yulongsha Lake, where there are many fun activities. You can go on a desert treasure hunt and experience the fun of searching for treasures in the desert. You can also experience off-road motorcycles, speeding through the desert and feeling the speed and passion. The most anticipated thing is the desert live-action CS. Originally, this project was not within our plan, but when we heard from the locals that there was a desert version of the live-action CS, we couldn't hold back our excitement any longer. We set off directly the next day and experienced blade riding on an off-road vehicle and sand boarding. The adrenaline rush was so exciting that it made us feel like we were back in our passionate youth! After the tour, you can embark on the return journey. 🍽️【Guide to dry rice】 🧀Sweet Milk Tofu: This is definitely an amazing dessert! It can be stretched into a 1-meter-long thread, is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and has a strong milky flavor. Remember to eat it while hot, otherwise the sugar coating will become hard, just like wearing a layer of armor hhh. 🍖Roasted Whole Lamb: We choose fat and tender lamb and carefully roast it. The skin is golden and crispy, and the meat inside is tender and juicy. The aroma is fragrant and makes people salivate. 🥔Halahai stewed potatoes: This is a local specialty wild vegetable and belongs to the herbaceous plant of the Urticaceae family. It has a slight taste of wormwood when you take a bite, which gives it a unique flavor. 🥘Huazi fish: a must-eat delicacy when visiting Dari Lake. The fish is fried crispy on the outside and super tender on the inside, leaving you with an unforgettable aftertaste. ⚠️We need to remind everyone that the food on the grassland is mainly beef and mutton, and some people’s stomachs may not be able to adapt to it, so you can bring some gastrointestinal medicine just in case. ‼ ️【Travel Tips】 1️⃣If you go to Wulanbutong for sightseeing, it is recommended to enter from the North Gate. Be sure to visit the film and television base. When you climb to the top of the mountain and overlook the entire grassland, the magnificent scenery is so beautiful that it will make you cry! You can also see the Ulanbutong Peak, which stands like a giant above the grassland. 2️⃣ Friends who are prone to motion sickness must prepare motion sickness medicine or motion sickness patches in advance. Because when you are deep in the uninhabited area, the road conditions may be complicated and it is easy to make people feel carsick. 3️⃣If conditions permit, you can bring a tent and a small table and chairs. The essence of grassland travel lies in the scenery that can be seen everywhere along the way. You can stop wherever you want, find a beautiful place, set up a tent, put out a small table and chairs, and enjoy your own tranquility and leisure. 4️⃣ Mosquito repellent is essential. The outdoor vegetation on the grassland is dense and there are many mosquitoes. Bring mosquito repellent to protect you from mosquitoes and enjoy your grassland trip. I hope everyone can have a wonderful time in Ulanbutong and leave unforgettable memories!

My parents have always wanted to visit Saihanba after watching the TV series "The Most Beautiful Youth." Checking the map, we found it's quite close to Beijing. We drove from Beijing on Friday morning, arriving in about three hours. The road conditions were excellent throughout the journey. We returned to Beijing on Sunday afternoon. Saihanba essentially has three sightseeing routes. The hotels there provide maps. I recall two routes branching left and right, and a straight path leading to Ulan Butong. We found the left route to be the best, primarily because it was less crowded and incredibly peaceful, with stunning scenery. The right route, leading to the General's Tomb, was also decent. However, the road to Ulan Butong was far too crowded. Remember to leave early in the morning to avoid heavy traffic. Also, pack warm clothes. We went in August, and the nights were surprisingly cold. Overall, Saihanba is definitely worth a visit. It boasts diverse landscapes, including a national forest park, grassland forest scenic area, and wetland park. Visitors can enjoy the forests and grasslands under the clear blue sky, and partake in activities like escaping the summer heat, photography, sketching, and hunting.

Choose thick, non-slip snow boots or casual shoes, and bring long shoe covers to wear over your shoes for snow protection and easy storage. ✔️ Electronic devices: Use a bright phone case, as it's hard to find a phone in the snow!

After shooting, seal the camera before entering a room to prevent fogging and frosting. ✔️ Daily necessities: Northern winters are very dry, so bring moisturizing body lotion, face masks, and face cream.

⭐ Came here for the grassland "Swiss roll", but probably came late so most of the food was put away. I finally found one in the afternoon (Figure 2, Figure 5, Figure 7). If you can’t find it, you can leave a comment and ask me for the address. It’s not easy to post this. ⭐Every year I come to Ulanbutong Keshiketeng Banner in summer, this time I want to see the autumn scenery. Before I came here, I saw many people saying that it was too cold during the National Day holiday and the leaves had all fallen off and the scenery was not beautiful anymore. After much hesitation, I finally came. It was already dark when we arrived at the grassland on the first day, and we didn't see anything. The next day, I left the hotel with a nervous mood. Because I have been to the scenic spots several times, this time I went to a place with fewer people. The scenery seemed ordinary at first, but after I turned a few corners, it appeared before my eyes like a colorful painting. It is a paradise for photography enthusiasts and travelers. So after I got home and rested, I took out the photos and guide: ▼1. Best time to enjoy the autumn scenery The autumn in Ulanbutong usually starts from mid-September and lasts until mid-October. During this period, the leaves gradually turn yellow and red, and the grassland slowly turns golden yellow. ▼2. Transportation 1. Self-driving: Self-driving is highly recommended. I didn't take the highway this time because of the traffic jam. The whole journey is about 400 kilometers and the driving time is about 6 hours. 2. If you don’t want to drive yourself, you can join a tour group 3. Recommended attractions 1. Jiangjun Paozi: One of the iconic attractions of Ulan Butong. 2. Colorful Mountain: The colorful mountain in autumn is like a palette, very beautiful. (There are so many people, there will be traffic jams) 3. Hamaba: There are primitive villages, winding rivers and colorful trees here. 4. Princess Lake: A trail around the lake was being built when we went there, so we can walk around it in the future. 5. Hengli Mountain Scenic Area: The filming location of Wolf Totem. The mountain is relatively high and the scenery is beautiful when you stand high up. 4. Accommodation Arrangements I always stay in a hotel near the scenic spot. 5. Food Recommendations 1. Roasted whole lamb 2. Hand-held meat: Cut the mutton into large pieces, cook it with water, and eat it with seasoning. It tastes delicious. 3. Milk tea: You may not be used to it 6. Notes 1. The temperature in Ulanbutong is relatively low in autumn, with a large temperature difference between morning and evening, so you need to bring enough warm clothes. 2. Since Ulanbutong is located in the grassland area with a dry climate, you need to pay attention to moisturizing and sun protection. 3. Take care of the environment in the scenic area and do not discard garbage at will. 4. When photographing autumn scenery, you can choose early morning or late evening when the light is softer and the colors are richer.

Autumn in Ulan Butong is irresistibly charming. The colorful scenery is like an oil painting, and it's easy to lose yourself in it. To experience this autumn fairy tale, I drove for six hours. Golden birch forests, red and brown plants, and yellow haystacks are all dazzling. 📷Here are some of the best places to take photos: 😘Haystacks: There are many haystacks rolled up by herdsmen along the way before entering the scenic area. It's a great place to take photos, and it's free. 😘Hama Dam: This is the best place to enjoy panoramic views of Ulan Butong. Herds of cattle, horses, and sheep, windmill flower seas, and the colorful plains and hills in the distance are spread out before your eyes. 😘Birch Ridge: Next to Hama Dam, there are golden forests all over the mountains. You can go into the forest to take close-up shots and enjoy a golden leaf shower. 😘Princess Lake: The lake, poplar forest, and log cabin together form a fairy tale world. It's also a great place to watch the sunset. 😘Colorful Mountain: Most people go to the observation deck to enjoy the view, but I prefer the colorful forest on the mountain. In the sunset, walk in the forest and dance in the world of gold and red. 😘Donggou Photography Base: This is a mysterious place on the Ulan Butong Grassland, a quiet valley on the yellow grassland. As the road is all dirt and there are not many tour groups, you can camp, daze, picnic, and take photos here. But the road is not very good. 💌Tips: 1. It's really cold at night, so wear more clothes. 2. The accommodation conditions in Ulan Butong are very general, so be sure to bring all toiletries. 3. If you drive by yourself, be sure to choose a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle. The road conditions on the grassland are complicated, and there are many dirt roads and pits.

I just got back from the grassland, and I have to say, the beautiful scenery of Hulunbuir Grassland is really shocking! 🌄🌅 I bought a full ticket, which included all transportation, and the experience was super relaxing.

As midsummer arrives, a dandelion seed born in Ulan Butong begins its wonderful journey: He arrives at the uniquely European-style grassland: the morin khuur plays the grandeur and desolation of the grassland, and the pastoral songs sing the hearts and responsibilities of the grassland's children. Wandering in Bashang, the vast blue sky covers the boundless green fields, a perfect combination of forest and grassland, possessing both the elegant and delicate feminine beauty of the south and the rugged and majestic masculine beauty of the north. He arrives at the famous film base: grasslands, wetlands, hills, birch forests... In the early morning and late afternoon, the slanting sun backlights the ridges, creating high-contrast outlines, rendering the environment with a hazy beauty, like classical oil paintings coming to life. It attracts tens of thousands of artists every year to come here for inspiration and creation. He arrives at the colorful Five-Color Mountain: every autumn, the mountains turn red, and the forests are dyed in layers, showcasing both grand scenes and delicate environments. Here, one can not only shoot high-quality film works but also experience the colorful feast brought by nature. Everywhere he goes, he sees the dedication of the people of Ulan Butong: In recent years, Ulan Butong Sumu has taken multiple measures to protect the ecological environment, regulate the tourism market, improve tourism services, and optimize the tourism environment. They have intensified the 'Grassland Cleaning Action' and the regulation of the tourism market, establishing a batch of high-quality, high-standard, and characteristic homestays. This fragile dandelion seed, with its tiny body, interprets the grandeur of the land of Ulan Butong. In this bustling green, the breeze stirs up waves of green chasing the sunset, along with all the beautiful things on the grassland... Content from Toutiao

Accompaniment is the most affectionate confession. Friends, let me accompany you to cheer towards the blue sky. Children, let me accompany you to run with the sheep on the grassland. Lovers, let me accompany you to smile and snuggle with each other on the grassland.

July is relatively comfortable. Many friends choose this time period to travel. Of course, there are some who like or are on a trip, but they don't know where to choose a camping site. Although Ulan Butong Grassland does not have fixed campsites, you can't set up tents everywhere because you don't know which area is the herders' pasture. I recommend a few good spots for everyone to refer to. The film base, Wild Duck Lake, and Five-Color Mountain are all good spots. Lying on the grassland at sunset to watch the grassland sunset and sunrise. At night, you can count the stars in the sky, look at the Milky Way, and take a few great photos. In the morning, continue to go deeper along the film base, pass through the shepherd's stall in Beigou, and head to the filming location of Wolf Totem. Climb to the top of the mountain, look far away, and see that although Wild Duck Lake and Red Pine Lake are not big, they are very beautiful. Come to the lake and ride a Mongolian horse on the grassland, play football on the big meadow, and have a great time. Then go to the birch forest and take some beautiful photos. Equipment: mosquito repellent, sunscreen, moisture-proof mat, pots and pans.
