In late summer and early autumn, Wenyou and I set off from Beijing and came to Bashang Scenic Area in Inner Mongolia paddock. Bashang is the most beautiful grassland in China. The grassland here is vast, and the meandering Jiuqu River, meanwhile, is covered with a layer of green shiny meadow, slightly yellowish. The sky on the dam is crisp, the grass is lush, the sheep are like clouds, and the horses are galloping. The area adjacent to the dam has dense forests, mountains and treasures everywhere, and endless game. Sheep and tents are dotted among them, and it is a natural picture without ink. This is the favorite place for photographers and tourists, and all the storm spots here are the places we yearn for.
Watching the sunrise at Xiaohongshan
This is a beautiful scenery. This is Xiaohongshan, which is the place that every tourist thinks of.
This morning, we went to Xiaohongshan to watch the sunrise, which is the most scenic place on the grassland. Little red hill is not high, and the top of the mountain is not big. Standing on the top of the mountain, the cool breeze blows gently, and people are crowded. Photographers wearing multi-bag clothes have already found the best position, set up a tripod, adjusted the exposure parameters and waited patiently for the sun to rise. Slowly, the sky in the east began to be slightly gorgeous, and it was completely red. The grass at the foot of the mountain has gradually become red, as clear as layers of red flannel spreading. In the distance, you can vaguely see cows and sheep rippling on the colorful grass. The distant village began to wake up, and smoke from the kitchen rose from the roof, floating in the morning breeze, and the air seemed to be filled with familiar rice fragrance.
Although the sunrise on the grassland is not as magnificent as the seaside, it has a different kind of beauty. When the sky in the east continues to be gorgeous, the gentle undulating mountains on the grassland begin to be painted with another layer of red, which flows from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain bit by bit and flows to the joint between the mountain and the grassland, as if it were burning, and it is bright and bright. Just when you blink of an eye, a few golden lights begin to radiate from behind the mountains in the east. In a blink of an eye, a red sun rises and the surrounding beauty blooms everywhere.
On the top of the mountain, the grassland became golden, with bright yellow birch leaves, ridges and ridges of orange-red cultivated land, and sporadic farmhouses, as if they were all inlaid with Phnom Penh. Cattle and sheep grazing on the grass suddenly became alive. The only regret is that the expected sunrise kissing the grass landscape did not appear, but was replaced by red light and four colors.
It seems that it is understandable to be short of some beauty. It is impossible for people to get everything they want. It's a little regrettable to come again next time, isn't it?
Morning at Princess Lake
If the sunrise on the dam is touching, watching the sunrise at Princess Lake is another kind of shock and beauty. That day, we drove together to Princess Lake. This is a natural lake on the southern edge of Hunshandake sandy land, which looks like a fan from afar, about 3 acres in size, separated by a sandbar in the middle, a bit like a sand lake in Ningxia. The lake is clear, swaying leisurely, surrounded by sand mountains, where birch trees are dense, the breeze blows and rustles, and the scenery is very beautiful.
There are many legends about Princess Lake. First, it is said that Emperor Qianlong came to Mulan paddock to hunt and took a bath here with his beautiful daughter, hence the name of the lake. Second, it is said that during the Battle of Ulan Butong, there was a general named Tong Guogang, who fought bravely with the enemy and shed blood here. His daughter came all the way to find her father, and when she learned that her father had died in the battlefield, she cried for three days and three nights, the sad tears immediately merged into a lake, so it was called "Princess Lake" ...
The lake was as calm as a mirror, and suddenly, wisps of light fog floated on it, just like a fairyland. Watching the sunrise by the lake is also known as a grassland scene. Many tourists and photographers rushed to the lake early, and there were also donkey friends who waited here all night with tents. Early morning chills came to the lake, waiting for the brilliant moment, just for the beauty of the sunrise moment.
When the sky in the east began to turn red, as the red color became more and more intense, the sand hills, birch trees and cabins around the lake gradually became clear. Soon, the treetops began to catch the orange-red of the glow, and this warm orange-red spread down bit by bit, from the treetops to the roots, and slowly merged into the lake. Birch trees dyed yellow by autumn and burned by the glow cast their reflections on the clear and quiet lake, and dark red cabins adorned it, as if an abstract oil painting with rich colors was unfolding in front of them, which was pleasing to the eye and intoxicating.
The beautiful scenery is natural. Amid the bursts of admiration, photographers are constantly changing their seats, capturing the instantaneous beauty and enjoying the endless fun given by nature. At this time, Princess Lake, like a beautiful princess, is less rough and unrestrained in the grassland beyond the Great Wall, and more beautiful and demure in the Jiangnan water town.
Look, the blue lake is shining in the sun. On the green grass, cattle and sheep are eating grass leisurely. The sky is blue, which is purely the artistic conception of paradise on earth. This is the most beautiful season in Princess Lake all year round.
The sun is shining, the surroundings are bright, and there is a sparkling lake. The morning breeze comes into view with the fresh breath of the grassland in autumn and early morning. The surprise is beyond words ...
Toad Dam at dusk
Toad Dam is a must-see place to visit the dam. The dusk at Toad Dam is pure and beautiful. Toad dam is a dam, which looks like a toad. It is said that this dam is named after the abundance of toads. When they got there, people realized that there was no dam at all, and no toad was seen at all.
this toad dam is actually a valley, which runs from north to south, with two mountains sandwiched by a ditch, and the bottom of the ditch is a narrow river. The toad dam in the sunset seems to be a shiny satin, which has been winding and stretching into the distance. Walking into the bottom of the valley, I saw that many photographers had spread out their postures to shoot dusk scenery, as if they were going to hide all the toad dams in their pockets. From the bottom of the valley, there are some farmers living there along the mountain. The villages are small and patchwork, and most of them are relatively simple red tile bungalows. Dense and dense grass and trees grow on the hillside, most of which are birch and elm. Due to its unique geographical structure and human environment, Hamaba exudes charming elegant demeanour all year round. Especially in autumn and winter, toad dam is the most attractive and popular season for people to visit.
Late autumn dusk comes. When the orange-red light shines obliquely on the ups and downs of the hillside, immediately, the valley is bright and dark, and people in the valley are scattered. The smoke in the valley is curled up, and some cattle and sheep are scattered on the slopes on both sides. The sunset is like a brush, smearing a pink color on the rocks and Woods everywhere, blending with the emerald trees, which is very beautiful. The sunset gradually becomes gorgeous and purple, and the grass that is about to wither is still being eaten lazily in front of and behind the house. The rich and dignified color is an attractive color of the sunset, and the bright light contrasts. Occasionally, there will be cock crowing and dog barking from the hillside at the bottom of the valley. At this time, the sun becomes dim, which makes people feel like they are in a quaint and primitive paradise. Suddenly, a full moon appeared at the top of the mountain, making me feel refreshed and relaxed.
The dusk of Toad Dam has turned into a beautiful oil painting, which is not only photographed by people, but also a splendid scenery collected in the hearts of everyone who walks into Toad Dam ...
The grassland on the dam is fresh and pleasant. Look, gorgeous wildflowers, some of which are Venus in Wan Ru, some of which are as red as the morning glow, and some of which are swaying and fragrant ... Especially at dusk, horses, cattle and sheep begin to creep back on the vast grassland, which is really a grassland scenery of "the sky is grey and the wild, and the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low".
When night falls, eat whole sheep and good wine in the yurt, and you can walk to the place where the bright moon reflects the bonfire, which is a good place to tell love stories. In the melodious sound of Ma Touqin, dance by the campfire, talk and sing with tourists from south to north; A song "Aobao Meeting" will bring everyone to infinite thoughts. Of course, you can also sit alone on the grassland, enjoy the beauty of the bright moon and enjoy the fun of being alone.
ah! I can't forget the scenery on the dam. You make me linger so much ...
