A Hidden Secret on the Grassland

Not crazy, it’s truly breathtakingly beautiful! In Keshiketeng Banner, I discovered this hidden gem of a grassland homestay—Ulan Butong Wolf Garden Mountain Lodge · Secluded Secret Resort Homestay, and I’m completely hooked ❤️ First, the location 📍 Tucked away in the Wild Wolf Valley Scenic Area of Tiantaiyong Village, Hongshanzi Township, with endless grasslands right outside your window. Herds of cattle, sheep, and playful sika deer throw a party outside your window every day. This 360° immersion in nature is unimaginable in big cities! Must-praise highlights ✨ • The rooms are a modernized Mongolian yurt + bird’s nest design, fully equipped with air conditioning, hot water, and disposable amenities. The bedding is so clean it shines (a dream for cleanliness fanatics) • Free archery and Mongolian costume experience, with staff ready to take photos—your social media grid is instantly sorted • At night, look up to see the Milky Way, 100 times more stunning than any planetarium projection • The owner is super warm and welcoming, offering homemade dairy products and even prepared warm blankets for us to watch the sunrise Top 3 photo spots 📸 1. The swing in front of the yurt: Wearing the Mongolian robes provided by the homestay, with the grassland shrouded in morning mist behind you, the photos look like oil paintings 2. Wild Wolf Valley boardwalk: Golden light spills over the meadow at dusk, perfect for cinematic running shots 3. Starry sky room skylight: Just point your phone up to capture stunning star trails—no tripod needed Family-friendly bonus 🎪 Kids can feed the deer and lambs themselves, there’s a children’s bow in the archery area, and the owner’s wife even teaches kids how to milk cows. When checking out, my child cried and replayed “Mom, can we not leave?” over and over... Foodie tips 🍖 • The Mongolian fried bread with salty milk tea at breakfast is amazing • Highly recommend trying the whole roasted lamb—crispy skin, tender meat, and they serve it with full ceremony and style • Wild chive sauce with hand-pulled meat is a hidden menu item, remember to pre-order ⚠️ Notes • Big temperature difference between day and night, bring a jacket even in August • The yurt bathrooms sometimes have odors, so the bird’s nest room type is recommended • Weak signal in the scenic area, perfect for a phone detox (WiFi is stable in the lobby area) Lying on the train back now, still savoring the aroma of lamb... I want to ask the owner if they can ship a whole lamb to Beijing?
