Enjoy two completely different geological wonders in one day. In the morning, chase the wind at Huitengxile, the "Flower Grassland," and watch the windmills dance with the white clouds; in the afternoon, land on the "Martian Surface" of the Ulanhada Volcanic Group and feel the ancient pulse of the Earth.
Huitengxile Grassland: Dotted with 99 natural lakes, it is known as the "Ninety-Nine Springs." It possesses both the vast and majestic style of a pastoral grassland and the bright and delicate beauty of a Jiangnan water town. Huitengxile Grassland experiences cold winters and cool summers, making it a famous summer resort since ancient times. The peak tourist season is from May to September, when wildflowers bloom everywhere, making it one of the few remaining high-altitude wetlands in China. Horse riding is available afterwards (at your own expense).
Ulahada Volcano: A popular spot for social media check-ins and a National Geographic cover shoot location. It boasts a cluster of grassland volcanoes, lava landforms, and barrier lake landscapes, earning it the reputation of a natural "volcano museum." Upon arrival, visitors will mainly tour three centrally erupting, furnace-like volcanoes. At Volcano No. 4, visitors can take photos with the volcano's sign; at Volcano No. 6, a scenic drive around the area offers a spectacular view; and at Volcano No. 8, visitors can collect agate stones halfway up the mountain. This location, a National Geographic cover shoot location, promises breathtaking scenery that will make your trip worthwhile.
Huitengxile Grassland, at an altitude of 1800 meters, is a typical alpine meadow grassland. Here, you'll find not only grazing cattle and sheep grazing amidst the swaying grass, but also Asia's largest wind farm—thousands of white windmills turning leisurely on the gentle slopes. In summer, golden lotuses and wild poppies bloom across the fields, earning it the nickname "flower grassland." You can ride horses across the grassland or sit quietly watching the windmills dance with the white clouds, enjoying a cool summer day.

Ulanhada Volcano is a rare grassland volcanic cluster in Inner Mongolia. The volcanic cones, lava flows, and volcanic barrier lakes formed tens of thousands of years ago are remarkably well-preserved, earning it the title of "Natural Volcanic Museum." The most representative volcano, No. 3, known as "Northern Alchemy Furnace," has a reddish-brown body, and its summit offers panoramic views of the vast grasslands. Walking on the black volcanic rocks feels like strolling on the surface of Mars; the geological wonders are truly breathtaking.
