Honestly, if it weren't for my social media feed being flooded with posts, I really wouldn't have known that Fuxin, Liaoning, had such a hidden gem of a grassland—Deligeer. In Mongolian, it means "flowers blooming, vast and open land," which sounds quite romantic. It's located in Dade Town, Zhangwu County, about a 2-hour drive from Shenyang and just over an hour from Fuxin city center, making it perfect for a spontaneous weekend trip. I just got back from there, and while the memories are still fresh, I've put together a comprehensive guide for you. First, get the basic information to avoid a wasted trip. This place is officially called Deligeer Grassland Scenic Area, a national 4A-level scenic spot and the only grassland 4A-level attraction in Liaoning, having just been upgraded at the end of 2024. It's situated on the southern edge of the Horqin Sandy Land, encompassing seven types of landscapes: mountains, water, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands, and sand. In short, you can see grasslands, lakes, deserts, and wetlands all in one place, which is quite magical. Remember the operating hours: It's open annually from April 26 to October 31, from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, with last entry at 5:00 PM. Don't arrive too late. Regarding tickets, which is what everyone cares about most—the main entrance ticket is currently free. There used to be talk of a CNY 30 fee, but now it's free. Children under 1.3 meters, seniors over 70, and active/retired military personnel also get free admission with valid ID. However, entertainment activities like horse riding, beach ATVs, rainbow slides, and boat rides are charged separately. If you want to save money, you can buy a package deal on a travel platform in advance, which will be more cost-effective. Parking is free, which is a nice bonus. How to get there? Driving is the best way. I sincerely recommend driving. Just search for "Deligeer Grassland Scenic Area" on your navigation app. From Shenyang, take the Jingha Expressway towards Fuxin. The journey takes about 2.5 hours, and the road conditions are excellent. From Fuxin city center, it's even quicker, just over an hour. The scenic area's parking lot is large enough, making it easy to park and enter after buying tickets. Public transport isn't impossible, but it's a hassle—you'd first go to Zhangwu County, then transfer to a rural bus, and then take a taxi from the town. Buses are also infrequent. If you're traveling with seniors or children, driving yourself is much better. I went on a Friday evening, stayed one night, and had the most comfortable experience. I highly recommend a 2-day trip. What to do? Don't miss these spots. The park is quite large, covering thousands of acres. I recommend spending a full day exploring slowly, taking photos and enjoying the scenery in the morning, and trying out activities in the afternoon. Hobbit Town is a popular photo spot, with a row of colorful dome-shaped houses, set against blue skies, white clouds, and a sea of flowers. Every photo looks like it's from a fairy tale, a must-visit for families with kids. Ningchang Ancient Film City allows you to wander through a market in ancient costumes, giving you a sense of time travel. It has an even better atmosphere when lit up at night. At the Mongolian Yurt Camp, you can try on Mongolian robes for photos, and in the evening, there are bonfire parties with singing and dancing. Kids run around the bonfire, while adults chat over milk tea. The grassland nights are truly therapeutic. For those who want to climb high, go to Dege Mountain, where you can "view four lakes from one mountain" and get a panoramic view of the grassland. It's especially picturesque at sunset. If you want to see an ecological miracle, be sure to visit the Sand Reclamation Square and the Sand Control Experience Base—the scenic area has deliberately preserved a piece of original desert, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding greenery. It's a testament to 70 years of sand control efforts by the people of Zhangwu, which is quite impressive to witness. Among the entertainment activities, the rainbow slide is suitable for all ages. Its gentle slope makes for a thrilling yet safe ride. Beach ATVs offer full stress relief as you traverse sand and grassland. At the Royal Horse Ranch, you can gallop on horseback. Even if you can't ride, there are instructors to guide you. In the Pet Paradise, lambs and deer are gentle and friendly, keeping children entertained for half a day. In summer, there are also water rafting and boat rides, and the sunset over the lake is absolutely stunning. Food and accommodation arrangements. There's a Youth Educated Restaurant within the scenic area, serving traditional dishes like "killing pig stew" and "big stew." With newspaper-covered tables, black-and-white TVs, and hand fans, it's a nostalgic trip for those born in the 70s and 80s. The Sand Spring Fish Feast is a local specialty, with fish stewed in sand spring water, resulting in a rich and flavorful broth. If you want something more grand, order a whole roasted lamb; remember to book in advance. Mongolian meat pies, savory milk tea, and hand-held meat are also worth trying. You can eat very well for just a few dozen yuan per person. There are more accommodation options than I expected—container homestays are artistic and affordable, Hobbit-themed homestays are built by the lake with flower fields right outside your window. There are also RV camps and Mongolian yurts. If you want to experience a nomadic lifestyle, sleep in a yurt, falling asleep to the sound of the wind at night and waking up to the sun in the morning—it's amazing. I recommend staying one night; the starry sky over the grassland is something you can't see in the city, with the Milky Way visible to the naked eye. A few heartfelt reminders. Attire: White, beige, and light blue long dresses photograph best. Absolutely avoid earthy yellow, as you'll blend into the sandy landscape. Sun protection and warmth: There's no shade on the grassland. In summer, bring sun protection and mosquito repellent. The temperature difference between day and night is significant, so even in mid-summer, pack a light jacket. Photography time: For uncrowded, epic shots, go on weekdays. The light is softest in the early morning and late afternoon. Environmental protection: The Scots pine trees and grasslands are the result of generations of sand control efforts. Please do not step on them or break branches. Electric carts: Rentals stop at 5:00 PM. If you want to explore thoroughly, enter the park early. Overall, Deligeer is a hidden gem that offers "low investment, high return." It's affordable, the scenery is great, and kids can run wild, making it especially suitable for short weekend trips around Liaoning. Take advantage of July to September when the grass is greenest and flowers are in full bloom. You'll thank me later!

Fuxin’s “Desert Prairie,” where the Horqin sandy land ends — a look at Deliger Prairie Scenic Area Before coming to Fuxin, a friend said they wanted to see the miracle of a “desert turning into an oasis” and insisted on visiting Deliger Prairie in Zhangwu. So we picked a sunny weekend and set off from downtown Fuxin. After about a 1.5-hour drive, we arrived at this ecological hidden gem located on the southern edge of the Horqin sandy land. “Deliger” is Mongolian for a place where flowers bloom and the landscape is open and bright. Once an overlooked sandy hill, it has now transformed into a national 4A-level tourist attraction and Liaoning’s first national 5C-level self-driving and RV camping site. 🌿 Mountains, water, forests, fields, lakes, grass, and sand — seven ecosystems all in one The scenic area combines seven ecosystems: mountain, water, forest, field, lake, grass, and sand. The “one main and four branches” prairie scenic route runs through it. Along the way, you can enjoy the Jingtao garden, thousands of gesang flowers, rapeseed flower seas, and tens of thousands of acres of grassland. 🏰 Fairy tale world and popular photo spots The most photogenic spot is Hobbit Town, with its low, round houses that feel like stepping into a movie set. There’s also Heart Island, a lakeside stone path, and a cultural plaza themed on the desert and inspired by children’s literature. The scenic area has also rebuilt Ningchang ancient film city, where you can experience the ancient frontier atmosphere. 🎯 Activities · Horseback riding and archery at Little Prince Ranch · Rainbow slide and ATV rides · Petting zoo and youth adventure base · Desert off-road track built along the prairie road · Camping: the site offers 2,000 parking spaces and various camping spots 📍 Practical information The scenic area is located in Dade Village, Dade Town, Zhangwu County, Fuxin City. Driving is the most convenient way to get there. Just navigate to “Deliger Prairie Scenic Area.” Parking is free. It’s about 160 km from Shenyang. Opening hours are roughly 8:00 AM–5:30 PM (last entry at 5:00 PM). There are canteens, restaurants, and barbecue areas inside the park, and camping and picnicking are allowed. Plan to spend half a day to a full day here. Nearby attractions include Julong Lake and others that you can visit together. By the time we left Deliger, it was afternoon. The wind swept across the tens of thousands of acres of grassland, where once was a vast sea of sand, now a lush green. If you come to Fuxin, be sure to visit here — take a photo in front of the Hobbit house, feel the breeze on the prairie scenic route, lie down on the vast grassland, and carry this miracle of “flowers blooming on the desert” in your heart.

🌈 TOP TWO ATTRACTIONS (THE ABSOLUTE MUSTS) 1. Colorful Danxia Mountains (张掖七彩丹霞景区) The region's most famous calling card. It's the only place in China that combines two types of landscapes: classic Danxia and colorful rolling hills. Located 40 km from the city. It earned UNESCO status in 2020. Admission in 2026: 93 RMB (70 entrance + 23 shuttle bus). Pro tip: Plan your visit for the afternoon to catch the stunning sunset from viewing platform #4. 2. Giant Buddha Temple (张掖大佛寺) The ultimate historical treasure. Built in 1098 during the Western Xia dynasty as an imperial temple. Inside, you'll find Asia's largest indoor clay reclining Buddha, measuring 34.5 meters long. --- ⛰️ FOR ADVENTURE SEEKERS 3. Pingshanhu Grand Canyon (平山湖大峡谷) Located 60 km from the city, this spot is often called the Grand Canyon of China. With depths of 150–200 meters, you can stroll along the rim (the classic route) or take an off-road vehicle down to the canyon floor—a deeper trek that features "A Thread of Sky" and the 60-meter "Cloud Ladder". 4. Binggou Danxia Scenic Area (冰沟丹霞景区) Situated 45 km from the city, just past the Colorful Mountains (only 11 km apart). The biggest difference from its "rainbow" neighbor? There are hardly any crowds here, allowing you to explore in absolute peace. The landscapes feel like the surface of the moon, with some rock formations resembling ancient architecture. Price: 40 RMB + 20 RMB shuttle bus. --- 🏯 HISTORY & ANCIENT SITES 5. Mati Temple Grottoes (马蹄寺石窟群) A cave temple nestled at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, dating back to the 4th–5th centuries. It ranks among the top three most important Buddhist sites in the Hexi Corridor—alongside the Mogao and Yulin Grottoes. Its standout feature is the "Thirty-Three Heavens": a series of caves carved into the cliff face at varying heights. 6. Wooden Pagoda & Drum Tower. These iconic city landmarks were built entirely without a single nail. Centrally located, they're perfect for a quick pit stop while you're out and about. --- Save this post for later ♥️ Check out my profile for more guides on this region, and don't forget to follow! 🙏

Fuxin in July is truly underrated🌿 This small city in western Liaoning hides 8,000 years of Yulong culture, Tibetan-style ancient temples, and Asia’s largest open-pit mine. The best part is there aren’t many tourists, prices are affordable, and every stroll feels like a cinematic scene. 📸 A perfect spot for photos, even phone shots look professional Haizhou open-pit mine national mining park is a must-see! The 350-meter-deep giant pit looks like a cyber canyon cracked open in the earth. At dusk, blue and purple light plays on the terraced steps, creating a full industrial vibe⛰️ It’s free to enter. Bring a white or red long dress and stand at the edge of the viewing platform to instantly capture a “post-apocalyptic wasteland” look. The 267 Qing dynasty cliff carvings on red stone at Haitang Mountain are called the “Little Dunhuang of Northeast China.” The red walls and golden roof of Puan Temple at the summit are also known as the “Little Potala Palace of Northeast China.” Wear a plain long dress or linen shirt, spin the prayer wheel, and you’ll have stunning Tibetan-style shots in no time🎐 Ruiying Temple is about a 35-minute drive from downtown. It’s a Tibetan Buddhist temple with a plaque inscribed by Emperor Kangxi himself. The golden roof, red walls, and white pagoda make it known as the “Eastern Tibet” of Northeast and Eastern Mongolia. The Chahai site museum is free with ID and houses the “First Dragon of China.” History lovers will find a unique atmosphere here🏺 ⚠️ Avoid pitfalls, must-read for July visitors Standing under the July sun in Fuxin for 10 minutes will ruin your makeup. Sunscreen hats, arm sleeves, and comfortable sneakers are essential🧴 The temperature difference between morning and evening can reach 10 degrees. Always wear a thin cardigan over your tank top or you’ll shiver in the grassland wind. Haizhou open-pit mine is windy and the sun is strong. There are no guardrails at the pit edge, so never get too close for photos. Haitang Mountain has many steps; avoid the midday sun and try to enter before 8:30 AM when there’s plenty of shade🌳 Bargaining at the agate market usually starts at half the asking price. If the seller tests you with 50 yuan for a 300 yuan item, that’s normal. Always ask for a certificate of authenticity when buying. Qianfoshan is currently closed. Check the latest status on Trip.com before you go. 🍜 Food recommendations, a blend of Mongolian and Han flavors Coming to Fuxin without trying Mongolian stuffed pies is a missed opportunity! This provincial intangible cultural heritage dish has over 300 years of history. The crust is paper-thin and translucent, revealing the filling. One bite bursts with juice, and the lamb filling is tender and free of gamey taste. Pair it with a bowl of whole lamb soup simmered for six hours with Mongolian herbal recipes. The milky broth has a natural sweetness that keeps you energized even after hiking🥣 Lama stew originates from Ruiying Temple. Pork belly with skin is slow-cooked for hours until rich but not greasy, lean but not dry, salty and flavorful. It’s the most authentic grassland flavor in Fuxin. Lama cake is a traditional Mongolian pastry, listed among China’s top ten regional snacks. It’s soft, chewy, sweet, and not greasy. For something fresh, try the sand spring fish feast at Julong Lake Fish Restaurant. Cold-water fish have a naturally sweet flavor that’s surprisingly delicious🐟 For late-night snacks, head to Jiefang Street night market. Crispy lamb barbecue skin and edges are a must-order at every table. You can eat your fill for just a few dozen yuan per person. Pair it with a snow cone from Xinhua cold drinks for a nostalgic taste of old Fuxin childhood🍦 🗺️ Three-day, two-night easy itinerary Day 1 focuses on urban industrial style. Arrive in Fuxin at noon, drop off your luggage, and head straight to Haizhou open-pit mine. After shooting the No. 99 jackhammer and steam locomotive group, visit the Red Agate district at dusk to explore the agate ghost market. For dinner, try Mongolian stuffed pies and whole lamb soup at Jiefang Street night market. Plenty of carbs to keep you going. Book chain hotels in Xihe or Haizhou districts on Trip.com in advance. July weekends sometimes sell out, so locking in your room two days ahead is safer🏨 Day 2 is a day trip to Tibetan-style ancient temples and cliff carvings. Enter Haitang Mountain at 8:30 AM and photograph the cliff carvings all the way to Puan Temple. Drive 20 minutes down to Ruiying Temple, circle the golden roof and red walls, then enjoy lama stew at a farmhouse restaurant outside the temple. On the way back, stop at Baodi hot springs for a soak. The outdoor pools aren’t cold in July and are perfect for relaxation♨️ Day 3 offers two options: For grasslands, go to Delige’er to see desert rainforests, Hobbit houses, and windmill meadows. This “Little Altay of Liaoning” lives up to its name. For shopping, visit Shijiazi Agate City. The big market is held on the 3rd, 6th, and 9th days of the lunar month. You’ll find everything from raw stones for a few yuan to bracelets costing tens of thousands. Beginners should browse first without buying, then circle back once you know what to look for💎 Fuxin is small. Travel time between attractions is usually 30 to 50 minutes. You can get around by taxi if you don’t drive, but relying solely on public transport isn’t recommended. Bus schedules to suburban spots are so sparse you’ll be frustrated🚕 A budget of 800 to 1,200 yuan per person for three days covers accommodation, tickets, and meals comfortably. Agate shopping is extra. With a Fuxin like this, why not come see for yourself?✨

Highly recommend "Lao Ma's Lamb Soup Restaurant"—a large bowl of whole lamb soup with hand-pulled mutton for 30 yuan! The broth is milky white with no gamey taste.

When driving on Provincial Highway S211, be aware of falling rocks; avoid mountain roads during the rainy season. 2. The temperature difference between day and night on the grassland is large; a down jacket is needed in October. 3. Do not step on the thresholds or take photos inside temples; respect religious beliefs. 4. Remember to order "garlic and vinegar sauce" when eating hand-pulled mutton; it's a lifesaver! ✨【In Conclusion】 Fuxin's charm lies in the bowl of savory milk tea offered by the herdsmen, in the tactile sensation of the polished cliff carvings, and in the two extra pies the night market auntie gives you. This "Little Switzerland of Northeast China" deserves to be explored on foot, experiencing its gentleness and resilience. 📢Interactive Topic: Why do you think Fuxin's Mongolian pies stay soft even when cold?

Located in the Deliger Grassland of Zhangwu, Fuxin, it takes about 2 hours to drive from Shenyang. After exiting the highway at Zhangwu, you’ll need to travel a considerable distance on smaller roads, some of which are bumpy and uneven. There’s a large open area at the entrance for free parking, and by the time we arrived around 10 a.m., there were already quite a few cars. Tickets can be purchased at the entrance. A general admission ticket costs 30 yuan and includes a free ticket for rafting (which takes place at a nearby reservoir, though we didn’t go rafting in the end). After entering, walk straight ahead and turn right to find the ticket checkpoint. From there, just follow the path and explore. The highlight of the area is undoubtedly Hobbit Town, which was the main reason for our visit. The combination of grassy fields and quaint little houses makes for great photo opportunities, and it wasn’t crowded. Further inside, you’ll find Gaochang Ancient Town, which features a very realistic fake donkey—some people even mistake it for a real one at first glance. We heard that many people come here to shoot short videos, though we didn’t encounter any on the day of our visit. Inside the ancient town, there’s a restaurant where you can dine and a small general store (mini-market). To the left of Gaochang Ancient Town’s exit, there’s a sand gate that’s also great for photos. Other activities available include horseback riding, off-road driving, and shooting, but these require additional fees, which we didn’t try. There’s a restaurant near the ticket checkpoint, but it wasn’t open during our visit. We noticed many older women with suitcases taking photos, accompanied by professional photographers. Each person had several outfits, and one elderly male photographer was working with a group of older women. Overall, this place is ideal for photography. If you enjoy taking pictures and the style here matches your aesthetic, it’s worth a visit.
