Rainbow Forest · Bashang | Weekend "Forest Breathing" Escape!

Morning mist drifts through birch groves, twilight paints the lakes, and the 16°C hidden paradise of Bashang calls you to escape the urban bustle. With 80% forest coverage across 20,000 acres of Siberian larch, birch woods, and wildflowers, this summer haven averages just 16°C—Fairy Valley · Rainbow Forest unfolds like a fairytale kingdom on the North China plateau. 🌲 Itinerary: 2-Day "Forest Breathing" Route ▍DAY 1: Fairytale Forest Adventure Morning: Board the storybook train (¥40 one-way) into emerald wilderness, passing birch corridors to start a 3km hike from the wooden trailhead. Must-stops: Cloud Pavilion: 360° panoramic views of grasslands, forests, and wind turbines. Treetop Walk: Glass skywalk floating above a sea of swaying canopies. Afternoon: Forest Ranch: Feed wandering sika deer and fluffy alpacas for heartwarming moments. Mirror Lake: Stroll lakeside boardwalks amid cloud-reflecting waters; book lakeside picnic boxes (steak+sandwiches+juice). Evening: Bonfire party (19:30-21:00) 🔥—dance under starry skies, light fireworks, and savor roast lamb aromas (complimentary for groups ≥40). ▍DAY 2: Grassland & Culture Symphony Dawn: Optional 5:00 sunrise over dewdrop-speckled meadows. Morning: Explore Manchu cultural museum’s shaman rituals and fire god legends; pass Mushroom Street’s giant sculptures. Afternoon: Lovers’ Valley—location scout for Zhang Yimou’s film, where purple wild roses blanket hills and birch leaves whisper. 🌿 Unmissable Experiences Wild tea harvesting (June only): Don bamboo hats to pick and pan-fry scented Huangqin tea buds. Horseback riding (¥80/hour): Gallop across grasslands with Mongolian guides. Stay in Forest-Themed Lodges: Squirrel Inn: Family-friendly rooms with play tents and rocking horses. 16° Hotel: Chromatic-themed rooms named after Bashang’s summer average temperature. 🍃 Tips Transport: 4.5-hour drive from Beijing (navigate to "Fengning Fairy Valley Rainbow Forest"). Packing: Down jackets even in summer! 15°C daily swings demand sun hats and sunglasses. Tickets: Full ¥120 (shuttle ¥40); Students/seniors ¥80; free for children under 1.2m. Local Flavors: Manchu Eight Bowls: Braised pork, pickled cabbage stew. Griddle Tea: Savory milk tea with roasted rice and jerky. At night, 16°C pine-scented breezes flow through Squirrel Inn’s windows as bonfire-lit Mongolian ballads drift across the land—where even dreams breathe poetry. Pro tip: July-August peak wildflower season; September "Mushroom Festival" offers foraging adventures.
