The Grassland on Mountain Top is located in the south of Yuxian County, 220 kilometers away from Zhangjiakou City.
It covers an area of 32 square kilometers,2,158 meters above sea level. It is wide from north to south, long and narrow from west to east. In the north there is a vast expanse of level grassland stretching to the horizon. In the north there is a primeval forest covering an area of more than 8,000 mu. The average temperature in daytime is around 15℃. It is cool in summer and there is so dust and in the air in spring. Flowers of various kinds are in bloom on the verdant grassland. It is better to call it grden than grassland. You can enjoy the flat and verdant carpet like grassland and experience “looking at flowers while riding a horse.” It is marvelous to see the coexistence of several climates and thus the changeable weather. It is enveloped in mist one moment and clear up the next. When it is clear and sunny, you can look far into the distance. Birds are flying and singing. When it is foggy, heaven and earth combine into one and you may feel like walking in the clouds and traveling in the picture. The deciduous forest is the haunt of pheasants, hares, roe deer, foxes, sheep, etc. |
