The Pingdingshan Volcanic Group is located more than 20 kilometers away from the Xi-Zhang Highway. It was formed by a volcanic eruption 10,000 years ago. More than 10 mountains that were flattened by knives are arranged on the grassland, which is called a unique landscape on the Xi-Zhang Highway. When viewed from a distance, Pingdingshan is as plain as writing, but when viewed from a distance, the vegetation is sparse, and the tuff left by the volcanic eruption is scattered along the roadside. Pingding Mountain is surrounded by grasslands in the north and sparse forests in the south. Standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking the Pingchuan, people feel the magic of nature, which is shocking. You can also see the larger group of windmills in our country from a distance, and the windmills with a height of tens of meters are scattered, which is quite spectacular. Watching the sunrise and sunset in Pingdingshan, the scenery is very good. Especially at sunset, against the backdrop of the setting sun, the mountain colors appear either thick or light red, like a dream. "Platform Sunset" is one of the most scenic spots in Ximeng.Xilinhot · 33.6 km from downtown

Xilin Jiuqu is located 13 kilometers southeast of the outskirts of Xilinhot. In this section of the Xilin River, the slope on the right bank is steep and the slope on the left bank is gentle, which causes the riverbed to swing frequently, leaving many meanders. Here you can see the extremely beautiful Xilin River meander, and many photography enthusiasts have created masterpieces for this beauty. The Xilin Gol special stamp sheetlet issued in 1998 is based on this background. A large number of reeds and other aquatic plants grow on the floodplains on both sides of the riverbed, adding to the beauty of the meander. In the lower reaches of the meander is the Xilin River Reservoir, which is a good place for fishing enthusiasts. On the banks of the Jiuqu River, there are strangely shaped bedrocks exposed, just like the huge viewing platform left to us by our ancestors. Climbing high and looking into the distance, the river is clear, the green grass is green, and the cattle and sheep are scattered like pearls on both sides. This scenery is poetic. Painting is a huge picture scroll of Jinxiu Jiangshan in the northern country.Xilinhot · 12.6 km from downtown

2 million years ago, I was the sea, waiting for you to come! The Belike Flat-topped Volcano, an ancient legend of supernatural craftsmanship, is located about 30 kilometers south of Xilinhot City. It is a rare contiguous volcanic multi-step lava platform. It is unique in that the top of the volcano is flat from a distance, as if the top of the mountain was flattened with a ruler. It is also a natural wonder of the Quaternary volcanic group that combines volcanic geological landforms and grassland landscapes in my country. According to legend, 2 million years ago, this was an ocean, and the volcano erupted on the seabed. Later, due to crustal movement, the current natural wonder was formed. It is surrounded by the Hunshandake Desert in the south and grassland natural scenery in the east, west and north. It is worth a visit!Xilinhot · 53.3 km from downtown

I hadn't done any research beforehand; I just figured I'd give it a try since I was already there. I was pleasantly surprised! The performance was grand, spectacular, and breathtaking. I saw the most magnificent herd of horses and the coolest equestrian skills, and experienced the customs and traditions of the Mongolian people. There was even a close-up interaction with the horses and performers at the end. I was extremely satisfied, and even regretted not buying the most expensive tickets for the front row, the most central area.

The scenery here is truly stunning. The endless grasslands are matched by the blue sky, and the grasslands are full of sheep and cattle. Having a bonfire party at night, eating roasted whole lamb, and drinking kumis is such a treat, all the worries and unhappiness are gone with the wind! The food and accommodation here are also very affordable!

Beizi Temple in Xilinhot. This Tibetan Buddhist temple, built in 1743, has been intensively repaired by seven generations of living Buddhas and is large in scale. Stepping into the temple gate, the carved beams and painted buildings, the multi-story buildings and pavilions are amazing, and the rich Buddhist atmosphere hits you. The murals in the temple are exquisite and vividly tell the history and culture of the Mongolian nation. I slowly walked up the steps and came to the Erdun Aobao behind the temple. The thirteen Aobao are solemn and solemn, carrying people's good wishes. Standing on Aobao Mountain and looking down, Beizi Temple and Xilinhot City complement each other, forming a unique picture scroll, which made me deeply feel the charm of the fusion of history and modernity.

It was a truly grand event. I attended the opening ceremony, which was grand and lively, and it was worth going. It was just raining, and the traffic was terrible. My car had to stop when I got close, so I had to walk. The path was muddy, wet, and wet. My clothes and shoes were soaked when I got back, so it was hard to find a store to buy shoes. But I was really happy.

It was raining heavily and it was very cold that day, so I simply chose to charter a car to cross the river. The experience was quite pleasant and it was an unexpected gain. Now I have been back to Shanghai for several months, and I still think it was worthwhile when I think back on it.

The Xilin Nine Bends Scenic Area is a landmark river meander landscape on the Xilin Gol Grassland in Inner Mongolia, renowned for the naturally formed, winding, and zigzag formations of the Xilin River. Naturally carved, the river's course features a striking contrast between the steep right bank and the gentle left bank. Legend has it that Genghis Khan and his wife left a silk scarf here, transforming the straight river into a nine-bend landscape. Reed wetlands dot the riverbanks, and fishing is available in the Xilin River Reservoir downstream.
