The Bashang Grasslands, the nearest prairie destination from Beijing, have long been one of the ideal sites to escape the hustle and bustle in city life.

Located about 240 kilometers north of Beijing, the Bashang Grasslands cover 350 square kilometers in Heibei Province. The special climate and geographical position at the junction of the North China Plain and the Inner Mongolia Grasslands give Bashang its unique natural landscapes and make it a popular destination for tourists and photographers. Horse riding, camping, watching local wrestling competitions, or staying in farmers' Mongolian yurts to eat roast whole sheep and other plain foods, are the main attractions for visitors.[China.org.cn]
