Feel the infinity and live deep each breathing. Follow the path and gradually step into the depths of the grassland to the best grass pasture in the entire Ulan Butong. In spring and summer, the horse’s legs passed over the tall grass, making noises. 

    Stayed at the most beautiful campsite today. Sandwiched between two hills, there is a birch forest in the distance, and a small blister close by. We are going to enjoy prairie copper pot-shabu-boiled meat and various drinks in the late afternoon.

    On the last day of the itinerary, bid farewell to the WulanButong Prairie and head to the most beautiful land of aquatic plants in Inner Mongolia Xilamulun Wetland. The Xilamulun River, the true mother river of grassland civilization.
