The first time I went to Chifeng, I copied this route directly! Came to a city because of a song

My dears, is there a song that, like a gust of wind carrying the fresh breeze of the grassland and the ancient charm of Hongshan Mountain, blows open the door to your yearning for the famous city in Inner Mongolia? It was because of the song "Chifeng", "The sky of Chifeng is deep blue, the clouds of Chifeng are white, the story of Hongshan has been passed down for thousands of years, the grassland of Gongger is as green as the sea, the stone forest of Ashatu is majestic, the water of Darinor Lake is clear and lovely, the beauty of Chifeng is fascinating, the scenery outside the Great Wall is endless and wonderful", these heroic and unrestrained lyrics full of charm show the unique charm of Chifeng to the fullest, and make me can't wait to embrace this city. In March, with great anticipation, I embarked on a trip to Chifeng. Come and take a look at my strategy! 🌆Chifeng, located in the southeast of Inner Mongolia, is a city with majestic grassland scenery and long history and culture. Here is the vast Gongger grassland. Although the grass in March has not yet turned completely green, the breath of the earth's revival is already spreading; there is the magical and spectacular Ashatu Stone Forest, which looks even more cold and majestic against the backdrop of the remaining snow; and there is the Hongshan Culture Site, which carries prehistoric civilization and silently tells the vicissitudes of time. It’s still chilly in Chifeng in March, but that can’t stop the city from emitting vibrant energy. 🚗Transportation Guide ✈️Airplane: After arriving at Chifeng Yulong Airport, the airport bus goes to the city center, which is economical and affordable; it takes about 30 minutes to take a taxi to the city center, which is convenient for starting a journey to explore the wilderness. 🚗The city's public transportation operating hours are mostly between 6:00 and 20:00. You can pay with Alipay or WeChat QR code. Check the public transportation APP for real-time information before traveling. If you want to go to remote attractions such as grasslands, it is recommended to rent a car or join a local tour group for more convenient travel. 🗺 Recommended tour routes Day1️⃣: Hongshan National Forest Park - Chifeng Museum (climb Hongshan in the morning, explore prehistoric relics, and overlook the urban landscape of Chifeng. Visit the museum in the afternoon to learn about the development of Chifeng from ancient times to the present) Day2️⃣: Ashatu Stone Forest - Baiyinaobao Sandy Spruce Scenic Area (go to Ashatu Stone Forest in the morning to enjoy the unique ice stone forest landscape, and go to Baiyinaobao in the afternoon to see the rare sandy spruce and feel the magic of nature) Day3️⃣: Gongger Grassland - Darinor Lake (although the grassland has not completely turned green, you can drive to feel the vastness and enjoy the scenery along the way. Arrive at Darinor Lake in the evening and watch the lake surface sparkling under the sunset) 🌟Must-check-in attractions 📍Ashatu Stone Forest: Stepping into the scenic area, it feels like being in a fantasy world of ice sculptures and jade. Huge stone pillars rise from the ground in various shapes, some like swords piercing the sky, and some like fairies standing gracefully. Under the decoration of the remaining snow in March, they are more visually impactful, and people are amazed at the uncanny workmanship of nature📷 📍Hongshan National Forest Park: As the birthplace of Hongshan culture, it not only has a profound historical heritage, but also climbs Hongshan to have a panoramic view of the Chifeng city, where the undulating mountains and urban buildings complement each other. 📌Practical tips 1. Tickets to Hongshan National Forest Park are not expensive, you can hike up the mountain, but be sure to keep warm. Chifeng Museum is free, but reservations must be made in advance to gain a deeper understanding of history and culture. 2. Tickets for Ashatu Stone Forest should be booked online in advance. The scenic area is large, so it is recommended to take a sightseeing bus, wear warm clothes and non-slip shoes, and pay attention to safety when visiting because there is residual snow. Purchase tickets for the Baiyinaobao Sandy Spruce Scenic Area on site or online to protect the rare trees. 3. Gongger Grassland: Driving is the main way to travel in March. The area around Darinor Lake is windy, so be careful to protect yourself from the wind and keep warm. The scenery by the lake is beautiful and suitable for taking photos. 🍜Recommended local food 🥘Hand-held meat: This is a traditional food in Chifeng. It is made of selected mutton. After it is cooked, it can be eaten with your hands. It is original and tender. Dip it in chive sauce. Eat a piece early in the morning to warm up the body and stimulate the appetite👍 🥟Hada cake: The outer skin is soft and multi-layered, and the fillings are white sugar, melon seeds, peach kernels, etc. It is sweet and delicious. It is a special pastry in Chifeng. It is easy to carry and suitable for satisfying hunger on the road. 🏨Hotel Accommodation 📍Hongshan District: Chifeng Hotel, with a superior geographical location, is close to Hongshan National Forest Park, Chifeng Museum and other attractions. It is extremely convenient for travel and shopping. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with complete facilities and thoughtful services, allowing you to fully experience the prosperity of the city. 📍Keshiketeng Banner: Keshiketeng Hotel in Jingpeng Town is located on the main traffic route to major scenic spots. It is surrounded by delicious food and convenient shopping. You can quickly return to your room to rest after a day of sightseeing and enjoy a relaxing vacation. It is convenient to go to Ashatu Stone Forest and other places. 💖Travel experience During these three days in Chifeng in March, I seemed to be immersed in a majestic and ancient world. The coldness of the Ashatu Stone Forest, the thickness of the Hongshan National Forest Park, and the delicious food all intoxicated me. Humming "Chifeng" and strolling on the streets of Chifeng, I truly felt the charm of this city. Everything here is like an endless poem outside the Great Wall, an endless painting of Chifeng. I look forward to coming again next time to continue exploring this land of Chifeng💕
