National Day in 2021, the original plan was to transfer around the province. But the sky is not beautiful, the 3rd began the province's continuous rainy days, search for the boundary line of rain to the north is about in Hohhot, Wulanchabu line, and the distance is within 500 kilometers, decided to set off to the north!
On October 4, Taiyuan - Wulanchabu; around 12:00 noon, the Zhangzitou Expressway was on the highway and drove all the way in the rain
It wasn't until more than 20 kilometers from Ulanqab that there was no more rain
At 5 p.m., I arrived in Ulanqab and drove around the city for more than an hour, the city was clean and tidy, and there was no traffic jam on the road.
Wulanchabu City is sparsely populated, and the data show that the area is 54,500 square kilometers, about one-third of the area of Shanxi Province, with a population of 2.69 million, about one-thirteenth of the population of Shanxi Province.
Eating accommodation is not cheap, a certain Thai hotel 318 does not include breakfast, dinner near the hotel a clean small restaurant, bean noodles tip 10 yuan 1 bowl, glass steamed dumplings 25 a cage (11).
October 5, Ulanqab - Ulanhada Volcano - Huiteng Sil grassland - Hohhot
Breakfast, Inner Mongolia's famous haggis, roasted wheat, haggis 17 a small bowl, the taste is good, the taste is similar to datong, the price is almost double; steamed wheat 20 a cage, fried roasted wheat 22 a cage, each to a cage, fried delicious
This place feels less prosperous, but the consumption is not low
90 kilometers away from Ulanhada Volcano, along the G55 journey of about an hour or more, Baidu map search "Ulanhada Volcano Geopark" is located in the No. 4 volcano.
With an area of 65.9 square kilometers, Ulanhada Volcano Geopark is a Quaternary volcanic geological relic, with a complete form of crater, like pearls scattered on the grassland. More typically, the main view is Volcano 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Volcano 3, also known as the North Dan Furnace, is located on the east side of the G55 Highway. After getting off the highway at the Ulaanhada Expressway, follow the G208 National Highway (Erhuai Line) for 7 kilometers, and the first thing to arrive at is Volcano No. 3. Volcano 3 has a walking boardwalk, which is more convenient to go up. This time, due to the construction of the road inside, the roadside was full of cars, so it went directly to Volcano No. 4.
Volcanoes 4, 5 and 6 are all located west of the G55 Highway.
Volcano 4, also known as the Black Brain Pack. After crossing the G55 highway, it will first arrive at Volcano 4, which is currently under development and is expected to start charging soon.
The highest altitude on the northwest side of the summit of Volcano No. 4 is 1518 meters, the relative height of the cone is about 45 meters, the diameter is 300 meters, and the east side of the volcano is artificially excavated, and the volcanic cone is composed of red, gray-brown basalt volcanic slag, fused aggregate rock, crushed lava and basalt, etc., and is not integrated to cover the granite diorite of the Western Huali Period. Volcano No. 4 has a small slope and is relatively easy to climb, in the process of going up and down, pay attention to avoid small stones as much as possible under your feet, and see many people sliding in.
Ascend to the top of the mountain and you can see Mount 5 in the distance. In addition, a museum and visitor center are being built under the mountain
Volcano No. 5, also known as the Zhongdan Furnace, is the most well-preserved volcano in Ulanhada Geopark. The volcanic cone covers an area of about 1 square kilometer, is a compound cone, is nearly isometric in plane, and has a diameter of about 7 or 8 meters at the bottom of the cone; the relative height of the cone is about 85 meters. It is formed by the superposition of early landing cones and late splash cones. The cone has a "pot-shaped" crater, with a diameter of about 100 meters at its widest point, 70 meters in its narrowest point, and a crater depth of about 26 meters, and the crater retains small cones in the crater formed in the late stage of volcanic eruption.
Volcano No. 5 has a steeper slope, a slightly more difficult way to go uphill and a more difficult way downhill; when you go up to the top, you find that there is actually a road with a gentle slope to the west, and most people choose to go downhill from the west.
Volcano No. 6, also known as the Southern Dan Furnace, is incomplete due to human destruction, but it also clearly shows the interior to people. It is a compound cone, which is formed by the superposition of early landing cones and late splash cones. The entire volcanic cone plane is isometric. Due to man-made excavation, the cone structure appears more clearly, the volcanic cone is issued by the 3-stage cone-making ejection, and the production of different phases of the eruption is not coordinated, and the eruption is not integrated contact. The lateral crater is brick red and gradually turns brown and black away from the crater, reflecting that temperature is an important factor in controlling the color of the crater.
Several volcanoes, each with its own characteristics, are worth a visit! The makoto tour takes about 3 hours. The scenery of the volcanic grasslands in autumn is slightly inferior to that of summer, but there is also a flavor!
At approximately 12:30, navigate to the Huiteng Syler Prairie, along Provincial Highway 105 along the scenic routes
14:20 arrived at the Huiteng Sile grassland, the third time here, the autumn grassland has withered yellow, feel indeed not as good as summer, only the cold wind, tell you that the autumn of the grassland is very short!
Wander around to the Huanghuagou scenic spot that you have not been to before, you can finally eat some food first, and the lamb noodles in the hall for 29 yuan are filled first (there is indeed a small piece of lamb in the bowl [nose picking])
When I was ready to buy a ticket, I met a group of people who said that there was nothing to go in this season, plus it was too cold outside, so I decided to give up first.
Outside the grassland casually strolled for a while, navigating to Hohhot, for more than an hour. Book a good hotel, the hotel in Hohhot is much more cost-effective than Ulanqab, and the hotel booked in 312 is better than Ulanqab, and it also contains 3 early.
In the evening, I went to NiuJie Huimin Street to find lamb to eat, and ordered a pot of red braised lamb backbone in 192, which tasted good.
Follow the flow of people from the entrance of the second floor platform to enter, the hall can spend 20 yuan to scan the code to rent a voice explanation machine, the sound is very small, so spend another 10 yuan to buy a headset (convenient to listen)
The exhibition hall on the second floor has the ancient world exhibition hall, the beautiful Inner Mongolia exhibition hall, and the grassland Shenzhou exhibition hall
Ancient World: Revealing the evolution of life on Earth
In the same period, the Inner Mongolian Zangger turtle naturally extended its skull out of the carapace, and its forelimbs naturally extended as if it was taking a step forward. It is speculated that it may have been accidentally buried by the soil layer during the march, and it was too late to retract the head into the shell. Such a lifelike turtle fossil is a rare and rare treasure!
The three chapters of the Ancient World Exhibition Hall have come to an end, and this exhibition hall is the largest exhibition hall.
The second exhibition hall on the second floor is the beautiful Inner Mongolia exhibition hall, which displays the natural ecological environment and animal and plant resources of Inner Mongolia.
Most of the villages of the Daur ethnic group are built by the mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful. Most of the traditional houses are "Jie" type grass houses with bad or shisheng walls, ranging from two to five questions, and the structure is uniform. The living room is expensive in the west house, the south kang is on the top, and the kang is paved with reed mats or Mao Yue, most of which are enjoyed by the long gang. Most of its yards are made of simple fences with various patterns woven of red wicker, and the layout is strict. Horse willow and cattle barns are generally built far away from the courtyard to ensure a clean and tidy living environment
Nomadism and hunting are the main economic forms of the Evenk people. The Evenk people distributed in the Ewenke Autonomous Banner and Chenbal Tiger Banner in Hulunbuir City mainly live a nomadic life of chasing water and grass, while the Evenk people living in Aoluguya Township are engaged in reindeer breeding and hunting and gathering, the land of reindeer!
The houses inhabited by the nomadic Evenk people are called "Urrug Pillars"
Very similar to the yurt, the difference is that there is no outer wrapping of white felt, because the nomadic Evenk people live in a large environment of rain and snow, in order to make the rain and snow slide down quickly, the top of the bag is covered with reed curtains, the bag body is surrounded by red wicker for ventilation, and in winter the felt will be wrapped inside, and the stove will be built to protect it from the cold.
Herders cook the skin, first peel off the skin bag to wash and then dry, and then use the cooked skin tool to repeatedly polish, smooth and supple, tailor-made to resist the cold winter.
The Evenk people, who have been with deer all their lives, are the last hunting people in china, and in 2003 they responded to the government's call to stop hunting. Mainly raising reindeer, reindeer are commonly known as four different, with deer-like horns, cow-like hooves, horse-like ears, and donkey-like bodies. Good at walking in swamps, dense forests and snow, known as the "boat of the forest and the sea".
Before settling, the Orunchun were a traditional hunter-gatherer. For thousands of years, the Orunchun people, who have lived in the forests of Daxing'anling for generations, have made a living by fishing, hunting and gathering, and have formed their own unique production and lifestyle. Since settling in the 1950s, the traditional hunting culture has been in decline and agricultural production has become the dominant form.
Chieftain's Tomb at Xinglongwa Site: A special burial in the Xinglongwa site, in which not only one person is buried, but also two wild boars, a female and a male. Wild boars like to live in the mountains and forests, and are one of the hunting objects in the past, burying two wild boars in a person's tomb is undoubtedly a manifestation of the hunting production method at that time. In addition to the burial of two wild boars, in his ear position, two pieces of jade in the shape of the letter c were unearthed, and these jade pieces found in the Xinglongwa site were known as the "first jade in China" and the earliest jade ornaments found in China. These jade ornaments may not be simple ornaments, and the status of the person who can possess it is relatively high, so experts and scholars speculate that the identity of this person before his death is very special, it is likely to be a tribal priest or a tribal leader, so this tomb is called a chief tomb. This tomb appears in the house, which may be a special form used by the ancestors to honor the ancestors, reflecting the ancestor worship concept of the ancestors. The two wild boars buried next to them reflect to a certain extent the food sources of the inhabitants at that time, reflecting the respect of the ancestors for these animals that gave them life, and the embodiment of animal worship.
The semi-crypt thatched house is the architectural style of northern China, and the semi-crypt house is a typical building in the Xinglongwa cultural site, and the northern region is cold and dry, which is conducive to cold protection and warmth. Semi-crypt houses, part of which go deep underground, are not only warm in winter and cool in summer, but also able to resist the invasion of wild beasts. The half-land six-type house also has the characteristics of convenient materials and simple structure, which has been used by residents in northern China for a long time.

"There are more than a hundred Rong, but there is no one", which means that although there were many tribes in Rong Di at that time, at least more than a hundred, they were all scattered and lived separately, and each tribe had its own chieftain, and it was not unified.
Overall, the Inner Mongolia Museum has a wealth of exhibitions and is well worth a visit! It was stressful to spend the morning; it would take a whole day to take a closer look!
Come out at noon and go to the Kuanxiangzi National Food Street, which is also a Muslim street
Tickets 35 yuan, parking need to find a place around themselves, there is a paid parking lot, there is a roadside free, it is not easy to find a parking space.
