The Qinggan-Gansu Ring Road is really popular during summer vacation🔥My eyes are blown when I book a room every day👓. We are all accustomed to hotels not being very cost-effective during peak seasons, but!!! We didn’t expect that this B&B gave us a surprise [RedHeart] Location: Located near Dachaidan Bus Station, it is only 1.9 kilometers away from Feicui Pedestrian Street. You can take a walk there if you have time. Room type: A total of five of us booked a family suite with three bedrooms, one living room and two bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms have two 1.35-meter single beds🛏The other bedroom has a 1.8-meter large bed🛌 The toilet and bathroom are together, and one is independent outside. There is also a wash basin on the balcony, which is convenient for washing or washing clothes when there are many people ( 👍Reason for recommendation: 1. The bed is very clean [RedHeart], comfortable and soft. My friend said it was the best night's sleep I had so far in the Qinggan Ring Line. 2 [RedHeart] The room facilities are very new and the materials used feel good.

🫣 Why is it called "Highway 99"? I searched for a long time and there was no official unified statement. There are many folk versions. In fact, this is not important. ‼️ As long as you drive on this road in Xiwuzhumuqin Banner, Xilingol, Inner Mongolia, along the colorful lines on the road surface, 👁️ that grassland deep / beautiful / country road label, it's enough 💯. 🔛 The eye-catching part of Highway 99 is its good road conditions and the smoothness of running, and there are countless times along the way that you don’t want to miss it. ♻️ The beautiful picture composed of blue sky/white clouds/grassland/cattle and sheep/flowers, cattle and sheep can rush to the road and get close to you. 👣 Go to the top of the hill and find a downward perspective. The winding road is like a colorful chain outlined in green. 🫵 The grassland is so beautiful. To truly enjoy the emotional burning value it brings, you have to go into it without hesitation. 📌 That day, I drove into the youth station in Nao Gang Baolige Gacha, Haole Tu Gaole Town, to solve lunch. There was a stone book in the courtyard. It recorded that this Gacha was nominated for the CCTV "China's Top Ten Most Beautiful Villages" in 2014. In 2015, it won the CCTV "China's Top Ten Most Beautiful Villages" honor. There is a Mongolian tea restaurant run by a couple in the youth station, and the beef pie is super delicious 😋. 📍 Warm reminder: Go to Highway 99 to bring some food and drink, and there is a lack of supplies along the way. Fortunately, it’s not too long for more than 100 kilometers, right?

The most satisfying luxury yurt homestay I've stayed in Inner Mongolia so far! When tired of the concrete jungle of city life, wanting to escape the hustle and bustle, and relieve inner fatigue, taking a short vacation, the grassland 🌿 is the best choice. I like to chase the wind in the wilderness and places without ceilings. I stumbled upon this private ranch's yurt and was immediately attracted! 1️⃣ We set off from Beijing, took the Re'a Line - Dada Line - Highway 99, traversing the most beautiful self-driving route in Inner Mongolia, and arrived at the niche grassland of Ujumqin. The ranch owner and the homestay housekeeper warmly welcomed us and prepared a sumptuous Mongolian-style afternoon tea 🍵. 2️⃣ There are four yurts, divided into four different room types to meet the needs of different guests. The interior decoration of the four yurts is very exquisite, giving a refreshing feeling. Many soft decorations are made of felt products, such as pillows, placemats, coasters, etc., which are said to be handmade by artisans, giving these items a warm touch~ 3️⃣ Staying here is like visiting a herdsman's home. The ranch owner personally cooks every meal, brewing special Mongolian milk tea. There are no pre-made dishes here; all ingredients are locally sourced, adhering to traditional Mongolian cooking techniques while innovating with conceptually fused Mongolian cuisine. Every dish made with care brings the warmth of home and a unique taste experience that I still remember vividly! 4️⃣ The ranch owner personally cooks every meal, brewing special Mongolian milk tea.

Accidentally entering the desktop of a Windows 7 computer, this is my impression of the early autumn in the Xilingol grassland. At this time, the grassland is still wearing green clothes, horses leisurely lower their heads to chew grass, sheep lazily step in the gentle breeze, and clouds graze above the yurts. Coming to Xilingol at this time is not only to escape the high temperatures of the south but also to witness the exciting 2024 Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Mongolian Horse Super League. With the spectacular performances of the opening ceremony, the thrilling competitions are also counting down. Horse lassoing, 30-kilometer endurance race for Mongolian horses, 9-kilometer team relay race, horse archery competition... Each horse-related competition makes people feel excited. Xilingol has a profound horse culture. The blooming canola flowers in August at the Baiyin Xile Ranch seem to be a garland for this league. This Baiyin Xile Ranch, known as the 'Golden Grassland,' offers interactive activities such as horse riding and archery. You can also visit the Horse Culture Experience Hall to learn about the history of horses. Xiwuzhumuqin Banner, also known as the 'Hometown of White Horses in China,' is the best choice to experience white horses at the White Horse Cultural Park. Taipusi Banner, known as the 'Hometown of Royal Horse Culture,' has a long history of horse culture. Besides the local Mongolian horses, many famous horses from around the world can be found at the Royal Horse Garden in Taipusi Banner. If you want to experience it, you must not miss this place. You should also try the authentic Mongolian cuisine here, such as hand-grabbed meat, blood sausage, milk tea, etc. With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, don't miss their uniquely flavored milk skin mooncakes.

I have been to Inner Mongolia many times, but I have never been to Highway 99 in the Xilingol League's West Ujimqin Banner grassland. It's so beautiful 🌱, once you go, you won't want to leave. 🌈 Scenic Features: The line in the middle of Highway 99 is rainbow-colored, and the key is that it is on the vast grassland, which is incredibly beautiful. It is known as the 'most beautiful grassland highway.' The entire road is about 160 kilometers long, passing through multiple scenic spots along the way, including Wulan Five Terraces Scenic Area, Mongolian Khan City, Nomadic Tribe, Birch Forest, Yaolu Hairehan Mountain, and everywhere is a scenery. 🎟️ Ticket Information: Free of charge, no tickets required. 🕐️ Scenic Area Opening Hours: Open all day, but it is not recommended to drive after dark. 💗 Other Tips: ✅ Be sure to drive yourself, renting a car locally is also fine. Photos cannot fully capture its beauty. ✅ Photo Spots: 1. Take a photo at the starting point 2. Take a photo of the big road sign on the ground 3. Take a photo picking flowers by the roadside 4. Take a photo of the rainbow road 5. Take a photo in the birch forest, you can also camp briefly ... ✅ Prepare offline navigation, prepare offline navigation, prepare offline navigation💥 Important things should be said three times because there is occasionally no signal on the way. ✅ If your car has a sunroof, use it safely. It looks great in photos, and the view is different from sitting inside the car. ✅ Still, be sure to protect yourself from the sun.
