Back from Chifeng, I really don't recommend going in March. I came to this city because of a song.

“The wind of Ulan Butong gently blows over the dreamy sea of flowers, the rocks of Ashatu tell of the vicissitudes of time, the water of Dalai Lake reflects the vast blue sky, and the magnificence of Chifeng is hidden in the embrace of heaven and earth…” Humming "Chifeng Love Song," the city located in southeastern Inner Mongolia, a place of both grandeur and beauty, unfolded before my eyes like a colorful scroll, attracting me to this spring rendezvous in March, a time of renewal😃. 🔵Best Time to Visit The temperature in Chifeng in March ranges from -5°C to 10°C. Although it's still a bit chilly, the breath of spring has quietly begun to stir. At this time, the snow begins to melt, and the grasslands gradually turn green. The morning light on the Ulan Butong Grassland becomes increasingly enchanting, and the outline of the Ashatu Stone Forest appears faintly in the mist. It's the perfect time to experience the unique charm of Chifeng✨. 🔵Itinerary D1: Chifeng Museum → Yulong Sand Lake Tourist Resort → Yulong Sand Lake Container Hotel (Overnight) Arrive in Chifeng in the morning and head straight to the Chifeng Museum. The museum's rich collection, including exquisite Hongshan jade artifacts and unique Khitan relics, seems to open a door to ancient civilizations, immersing visitors in the long river of history. In the afternoon, head to the Yulong Sand Lake Tourist Resort. The sandy land in March, though lacking the scorching heat of summer, has a tranquil atmosphere. Climb the sand dunes, look out into the distance, and feel the grandeur of the desert. You can also stroll along the lakeside, watch the ice melt, and see the migratory birds return. In the evening, check in to the Yulong Sand Lake Container Hotel. The stylish container architecture blends perfectly with the surrounding sandy landscape. The rooms are comfortable, and falling asleep to the sound of the desert wind is a unique experience. D2: Ulan Butong Grassland → Ulan Butong Holiday Inn (Overnight) Set off early in the morning towards the Ulan Butong Grassland. The grassland scenery unfolds gradually along the way. At this time, new green shoots emerge from beneath the withered grass, and flocks of cattle and sheep graze leisurely. Drive along the grassland highway, open the windows, and let the spring breeze fill the car. In the afternoon, you can choose to ride a horse across the grassland and experience the passion and freedom of horseback riding. In the evening, check in to the Ulan Butong Holiday Inn. Its convenient location and surrounding magnificent scenery make it easy to enjoy the grassland sunset and immerse yourself in the tranquility of the prairie. D3: Ashatu Stone Forest → Return Trip After breakfast, head to the Ashatu Stone Forest, a masterpiece of nature's craftsmanship. From a distance, the stone forest looks like a forest of giants, majestic and imposing. Up close, the unique rock textures seem to record the earth's changes. Walk along the trails, marveling at the wonders of nature. In the afternoon, return with wonderful memories. 🔵Transportation Guide • Direct flights: The number of routes to Chifeng Yulong Airport is increasing daily.
