| Yangtian Lake Grassland | Here I can be free.. Comparable to Xinjiang's Altay Prefecture
🌿 When it comes to grasslands, everyone thinks of Inner Mongolia, but there is actually a large grassland near Guangzhou that can fulfill your grassland dreams! It only takes 1.5 hours to get there from Guangzhou! It's the perfect choice for couples, friends, and families with children for weekend or short trips!
🐎 The grassland here is vast, where you can fully enjoy the grassland scenery, experience the cool summer grassland atmosphere, and also go horseback riding, camping, have picnics, run, and there are all kinds of Hobbit houses, wetland trails, sika deer, alpacas, black swans, windmills, sea of clouds, starry nights, and many other photo spots! You can easily take postcard-perfect pictures!
On Friday night, we booked a hotel near Heping Night Market. We strolled around the night market, which is really small, but the food is delicious.
🏭 On Saturday night, we booked a hotel near Yangtian Lake Grassland. Our hotel's location showed it was 900 meters from the scenic area. After arriving, we found out it was 900 meters as the crow flies!!! One is on the top of the mountain, and the other's location perfectly matches the hotel's name: Canyon Hotel. It's really in a canyon deep in the mountains, off the beaten track... It's impossible to get a taxi up there. The actual distance from the hotel to the grassland is about 5 kilometers.
📍 Saturday, Yangtian Lake 🗺
It felt like a rip-off. 🎫 Tickets are 120 yuan, not including the play items inside. Two play items cost 168 yuan. However, the photos are indeed stunning. There's a bonfire party and fireworks show in the evening.
📍 Sunday morning, Gao Yi Ridge 🗻
We took a taxi to Gao Yi Ridge at 8:30 and arrived at 11:00. 🎫 Tickets are 80 yuan. We had a burger before climbing. We entered from the exit to take photos. Here, I have to say we made a very wise choice, starting from the exit, because Giant Lizard Lake and many photo spots are at the exit. We walked for more than half an hour and took photos directly. If we entered from the entrance, it would probably take 2.5 hours to reach here!
