The Bashang Grassland
The Bashang Grassland is 280 kilometers north of Beijing. The special climate and the geographical position on the junction of the North China Plain and the Inner Mongolia Grassland give Bashang its unique natural landscapes and make it a popular destination for tourists and photographers.

With a mean temperature much lower than that of Beijing, the Bashang Grassland is an ideal place to escape the summer heat. The period from May through November is the best time to visit, and as early as October, visitors may have a chance to admire scenery in the snow.

In recent years, tourism in Bashang has flourished and many special activities for tourists have been established there. It is inexpensive and interesting to stay at farmers' homes-eating roast whole sheep and other plain food, chatting with farmers, and sleeping on heated brick beds.

Besides the charm of Bashang, visitors coming from Beijing can enjoy the beautiful scenery during the six-hour drive along mountain highways and relax at restaurants run by farmers. Photography buffs can stop to take photos.
