Introducing Huitengxile Grassland
Huitengxile Grassland is located in central Ulanqab City. Huitengxile Grassland is renowned for its stunning high mountain meadows. The name “Huitengxile,” meaning “cold mountain ridge” in Mongolian, reflects the area’s unique terrain.
This enchanting grassland, averaging over 2,100 meters (6,890 ft) in altitude and covering 600 square kilometers (231.66 square miles), serves as a popular summer retreat and is home to Asia’s largest wind farm. In summer and autumn, its rolling hills and towering cliffs transform into a vibrant tapestry of lush grass and bright flowers, with mirror-like lakes reflecting the stunning landscape.

What to Expect at Huitengxile Grassland
For those craving fresh air, spending a few days in Huitengxile Grassland is an excellent choice. This beautiful area remains relatively untouched by tourism. The air is filled with the pastoral songs of herders and the sweet melodies of birds, all complemented by the delightful fragrance of wildflowers.
The “99 Pools”
The natural pools on the Huaitengxile Grassland, known as the “99 Pools,” are scattered like stars across the landscape. In summer, these round pools, or “haizi,” as they are called by the locals, reflect the sky like mirrors and are surrounded by clusters of wildflowers. This area is part of a prehistoric volcanic belt, where eruptions formed numerous craters that have since filled with rainwater, resulting in these circular water surfaces.
Huanghuagou Scenic Area
At the western end of the Huitengxile Grassland lies the Huanghuagou Scenic Area, a winding valley formed by ancient glaciers and geological movements. Stretching over 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) and reaching a depth of about 300 meters (984 feet), it features towering cliffs, steep ridges, and an array of oddly shaped stones. Resilient green trees and grass thrive among the rocks. As the valley opens up, the view extends beyond to a patchwork of fields planted with blue-flowered hemp, yellow rapeseed, and lush green crops, attracting many visitors.

The Huitengxile Wind Farm, the largest wind power plant in Asia, is a natural wind corridor with abundant resources. With an average annual wind speed of 7.2 meters per second at 10 meters and 8.8 meters per second at 40 meters, it boasts a wind power density of 662 watts per square meter. Towering turbines harness this energy to generate clean electricity, while expansive green fields and vibrant wildflowers create a picturesque backdrop.
