Pingding Mountain, also known as Bellec Ranch, is located 2 km west of the 207 National Road in the south of Xilinhot City. It is a volcanic eruption hundreds of millions of years ago, so this land is called the Xilin Gol Prairie Geopark. From afar, the flat grassland presents more than 10 mountaintops that are as flat as a knife. The hillside cliffs are steep and arranged in an orderly manner. In this prairie, it becomes a maverick landscape. There is also a folklore about this mountain. Legend has it that Genghis Khan chased a white fox here, and the white fox suddenly disappeared. Genghis Khan pulled out his sword and waved it, flattening the summit. Whether the legend is true or not, you can identify it yourself. The mountain with the observation deck can climb up on foot. It takes about five minutes to reach the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain, you can see that the mountains are rugged and covered with tuff rocks left by volcanic eruptions of different sizes. Blocks, many places where the bedrock is bare and the vegetation is sparse, but the traces left by the volcanic eruption have so far formed a peculiar landscape. The best shooting time for Pingding Mountain is sunrise and sunset. Although we are in a hurry, we don't see the sunset, and we don't see the sunrise, but the blue sky and white clouds are enough to satisfy my little heart.
