Every August, the mountains are covered in blooming flowers, creating a magnificent sight; one can also enjoy the refreshing coolness of the water from the snow-capped mountains in the valleys. The Horqin Grassland is one of China’s four major grasslands, a green gem among sandy areas. Located in eastern Inner Mongolia, it borders the Xilin Gol Grassland to the west and the Hulunbuir Grassland to the north.

This area also preserves many historical relics from the Manchu and Han dynasties, such as the Genghis Khan Temple and the Bo Wangfu Palace. It is also the birthplace of Empress Xiaozhuang of the Qing Dynasty. In the Horqin Grassland in August, the blue sky is accompanied by white clouds; horses and herds can be seen everywhere. The vast green expanse offers a picturesque landscape. At this time, it’s a true pleasure to ride through the grassland, to enjoy the sunset over it, or to observe the traditional way of life of the Mongolian herders. Additionally, you can visit Daqinggou in the grasslands – a 24-kilometer-long valley surrounded by trees. The springs at the bottom of the valley form a meandering, clear stream, which is known as the \"green jewel of the Horqin Sandland\".

At the southern end, the water currents are strong and the cold is intense, giving rise to a thick mist over the water.
