Travel tips:

It takes about 3-4 hours to drive here from Beijing, so it is recommended to leave early in the morning

After lunch, you can go directly to the Dancing Horse World to watch the wonderful and complete performance

Day1

·"Guardian of Time" - "Legend of Dancing Horses" - "God of War Zhao Zilong" are all very classic performances here.

"Legend of Dancing Horses" and "God of War Zhao Zilong" are both very passionate real-life horse battle dramas. You can feel their heroic spirit at the scene and experience the joy of victory with them. "Guardians of Time" is especially suitable for those with children. After the show, you can visit the Royal Stables in the park. Built in the style of European royal stables, it houses more than a dozen precious horse breeds from all over the world, such as Marwari horses and Frisian horses. The adorable ponies are gentle, obedient and clingy, and children can ride them. There are many small animals outdoors, such as alpacas, ducklings, goats, etc., which can be fed up close. It is especially suitable for couples to check in and take photos here, and increase emotional intimacy in the process of feeding the animals.

·In the evening, you can go to the food court next door for dinner. There are a variety of delicious foods, including refreshing hibiscus tea and roasted whole lamb.

(OS: I highly recommend the roasted whole lamb here! It’s really great! The lamb is tender and juicy when you take a bite. And there are actually six ways to eat a lamb. It turns out that the prairie can bring us a different experience.)

·"Grassland Silk Road" also has equestrian performances, bringing the exotic style of the prairie, and experiencing the excitement and excitement brought by the cultures of different regions and ethnic groups.

·Electronic music parties are a favorite of young people, with professional DJs and exciting venues. People of all ages want to fit in. When you start swinging, you will forget all your worries. Just swing and relax your soul. Let's skr together~

·It's a pity that I didn't see the grand and amazing fireworks show (so everyone must come on weekends to feel the different fireworks blooming for us on the prairie)

·Back to the hotel to rest

I stayed at the "Dream Horse Hotel" which is very close to the hotel at night. It is a star-rated hotel with complete facilities on such a large prairie, which allows you to come to nature without feeling the inconvenience of being away from the city. Day 2: "Opening Ceremony" - "Horseback Wedding" - "The Flying Dagger" - Between performances, take photos and group pictures on the Three Kingdoms Street. Part of the street is reminiscent of ancient architecture, and you can even rent Hanfu costumes for photos. The NPCs, dressed in ancient costumes, will delight you, making you feel like you've been transported back to the Three Kingdoms era. On the streets, you'll see prisoners being escorted, singing girls, and patrolling troops – it's truly fascinating and a unique experience you wouldn't find in modern life. Lunchtime - Enjoy the amusement park. Many of the rides included in the package are free, and two of them stand out in my memory.

The first was the rainbow slide. This colorful rainbow was particularly eye-catching in the vast prairie. Sliding down from top to bottom made me feel like I was flying. This is the joy of freedom in the prairie.

The second was the go-karts. Experience the thrill of pushing back, and invite friends to join in the exciting battle of overtaking on the curves. (This place is also incredibly photogenic. Sit in a race car, put on a helmet, and you'll be like the heroine from "Fast and Furious." Be sure to ask your friends or boyfriend to take some beautiful photos.) On your way back, you can also buy some of the local specialty ice cream. There are so many flavors, like pistachio and red bean paste, but I chose chocolate, my favorite. The relief design on it depicts a galloping horse, perfectly capturing the character of Horse Town. There's also the signature horse biscuit, steeped in history and culture. It's soft and chewy, with a black bean and cheese filling. It's a unique flavor and well worth a try.

Tips:

High-speed rail: From Beijing North Railway Station to Taizicheng Station, it takes one hour. Taxis are readily available at the exit to Mazhen, a mere 1.5 hours.

Accommodation: Mengma Hotel, with its elegant ambiance and proximity to Dancing Horse World, offers a generous brunch and lunch.

Temperature: Bashang's altitude of over 1,400 meters makes it a perfect summer escape.

Daytime temperatures are much cooler than in Beijing, though not as hot and humid. However, the temperature fluctuates significantly in the evenings. The evening activities are particularly long, so it's recommended to bring extra layers of warm clothing!
