General presentation
Bashang et Fengning
Grassy plateaus, shallow lakes and pastoral farming form a clear transition between Hebei and Mongolia-Inside.
The discovery of Bashang and Fengning is centred around the Prairies of Fengning Bashang, Great Jinshanling Wall and Yunzhong Birch Forest. The stay thus alternates between the countryside, natural areas, shores and lakes and mountain reliefs, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Nature and landscape
Prairies de Fengning Bashang
The grasslands of Bashang cover a cool plateau where pastures, horses and small hills quickly replace the Beijing Plains. Stays are very seasonal and often motorized; cold nights and distances must be anticipated.
Place indismissible
Grande Muraille de Jinshanling
Jinshanling runs a long section of the Great Wall on steep ridges southeast of the Fengning plateaus. The towers are numerous and the elevations sustained, with areas restored and then more irregular.
Place indismissible
Forêt de bouleaux de Yunzhong
The heights of Fengning conserve birch woods that slice with the ravenous meadows and cultivated valleys. A accompanied excursion helps to avoid private slopes and to choose the areas that are actually open.
