Redstone Cliff National Ecological Park

The closest grassland to Hohhot is Redstone Cliff, which is just an hour's drive from the city. The journey is filled with beautiful scenery, so it doesn't feel long at all!! Along the way, there's a large sunflower field, which is super cute. The grass is still very green this month, and the curves on the road are perfect for taking amazing photos, it really looks like a little Switzerland. To capture the photos on p4p5, you have to climb up the big hill, which is located between Bashang and Hongshaba on the map. The entrance fee for the Redstone Cliff scenic area is 60 yuan, and after entering, you drive all the way to Tianci Grassland. Along the way, you'll see lots of little calves and ponies, and even witnessed a family of calves crossing the road looking at motorcycles, haha, so cute!! Inside the scenic area, there are horse and camel rides available. According to local friends, taking a short ride is quite expensive, so it's okay not to ride, especially since I'm quite scared of horseback riding anyway Small tips - Be sure to bring a jacket, it's incredibly cold on the mountain, I almost froze to death - When going to the grassland, it's better to wear long pants. The sunflower field is really beautiful, and if you wear shorts, you won't be able to go down to take photos because the grass is very prickly A few thoughts I really advise those who have been living in the city for a long time, especially in a competitive place like Beijing, to call up friends and go to the grassland. After being in the city for so long, I've come to realize how precious friendship is. It's so rare to find friends with whom you can share a deep connection. To take a car to such an open place, with no clients, no work, no WeChat, no Tencent meetings, just a pure gathering between people, it's almost moving to tears when I think about it after coming back. There's always time for work, and there's always time for superficiality. But when true friends gather, they can travel thousands of miles together.
