Ulanqab Travel Guide: Missing it means falling into traps
📅 Itinerary: 400 km self-drive in Ulanqab for three days and two nights. Day 1: Departure point - Huanghuagou, stay overnight in Ulanqab city area; Day 2: City area - Volcano, stay overnight at the volcano; Day 3: Sunrise - Return trip
🚗 Driving Tips: 1️⃣ For self-driving to Huanghuagou, no fee is charged when exiting the highway, but a 15 yuan toll fee is required on the return trip;
2️⃣ For self-driving to the Volcano 🌋 Geological Park, if entering from No. 8 🌋, you need to pick up a volcano pass at the tourist service center, go to the very end of the hall to register and get it for free;
3️⃣ If taking the national road, remember to drive at the regulated speed, otherwise, you will receive a speeding message from 12123 and contribute to their ticket revenue;
⛱️ Must-visit Attractions: 1️⃣ Huanghuagou, the ticket is expensive, if you are not keen on entering the scenic spot to take a small train, etc., you can take photos along the way to Huanghuagou, which is just as beautiful, and everything inside the scenic area is also available outside;
2️⃣ 🌋 Geological Park, follow the sequence 8-7-6-5-4-3. Regarding agate stones, you can directly pick them up at No. 8 🌋. When you see the free parking lot 🅿️ at No. 8 🌋, get off and walk up, there is a small hill on the right that is not too high, roughly between No. 7 🌋 and No. 8 🌋. Squat down and look carefully, you can find them, pictures 16 and 17 are what I picked up; No. 6 volcano undoubtedly has the most people, if you are not in a hurry you can take a round trip, and you can take photos of No. 5 🌋 from behind, see picture 1, due to the special nature of the color veins, it indeed makes for good photos; If you are staying at the 🌋 for one night, you definitely shouldn't miss No. 3, where you can reach the top via steps;
🏨 Accommodation Tips: 1️⃣ Homestays in Jining District of Ulanqab city area, convenient for getting on and off the highway, easy to go anywhere, contact me if needed, highly recommended 🌟 2️⃣ One night at the 🌋, YOYO Campsite ⛺️, located at No. 3 🌋, it happened to rain on the day I went, there was a bonfire party after the rain stopped at night, and I saw a bit of sunrise the next morning, the experience was average, it would be better if the service could be improved;
🥩 Food Guide: 1️⃣ Herdsman's Milk Tea House (Yong'an Road store), recommended 🌟🌟🌟, hand-grabbed meat, pot tea, and meat sausages are all okay, worth a try; 2️⃣ Saina Dairy Food, recommended 🌟🌟, located inside a residential area, the dairy food there is just so-so, with a strong milk flavor, not cheap, but worth trying; 3️⃣ United Shao Mai, recommended 🌟🌟🌟🌟, inside the food market, breakfast lamb offal + shao mai, the lamb offal is really tasty, the shao mai filling is granular, with a strong taste of green onion, the vegetarian buns are also decent;
The price of the ticket in summer feels high, and it is incomprehensible that the child is also a full-price ticket. There are still a lot of people. I have been queuing up for a long time to take the ropeway. I can't do it without doing it. There is a line, the ropeway, and there are various cars behind. All of them are in the fare. If you don't queue up, you have to walk for a long time. It is very big. So you can only queue up when the summer is hot. The slides inside, all the rides are at your own expense, and you can pay in addition. The performance behind feels like you don't see it. It's boring to sell words and paintings.
The tourist route and logo of the attractions are recommended to be more perfect. Many tourists don’t know how to go, let alone where they are, but the staff are very enthusiastic. They tell the tourists the details of the tour over and over again, making up for the unpleasantness brought by the scenic operation model.
We arrived at the scenic spot at 4 pm. The scenery along the grassland train was very beautiful, and then we went to the park to get off work. It was completely dark. To be honest, the first time I experienced the grassland scenic spot to close the door, I went to the road to meet the off-duty staff to take us to the cable car. It was dark and no one at night, it was quite scary, but it also felt like living in the wild. Finally, it was dark and quiet around the cable car. The experience was still great. We were the last few tourists out of the park. We had a deep memory!

I have been entangled whether to go to the volcano or go to Huanghuagou volcano. It is more suitable for young people to take pictures and punch in. Because the traffic jam on the small fake volcano is very powerful, we decided to go to Huanghuagou in advance. There is a performance at the ticket office at the door. The whole traffic ticket bought online. The whole process can be done without going to Huanghuagou is very recommended because the scenery is so beautiful. It is more easy to buy a full traffic ticket. Take the all-inclusive cable car, open-air cable car, carriage, and small train. Let you experience different transportation on the grassland.
