taCommentInfo-imageBased on 12 review
Highlights:
The site of Yuan Shangdu is located on the north bank of the Lightning River, about 20 kilometers northeast of Shangdu Town, Zhenglan Banner, south of Xilinhot City. Later, after the Yuan Dynasty made Beijing the capital, it was used as a companion capital, also known as Shangjing or Luanjing. The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty led important ministers to come here every summer to escape the summer heat and handle government affairs, so the palace was built into a garden-style palace. Yuan Shangdu site is square, standing on the platform outside the city, you can vaguely identify the pattern of the house in that year. In addition, there is a large garden near the capital. In ancient times, there were bamboo pavilions, marble palaces, and exotic flowers. Originally, some elk and other animals were stocked for the emperor to hunt. In 1358 AD, Shangducheng was burnt to the ground in the peasant uprising in the late Yuan Dynasty, and then went through wars and turned into a "ruin embracing a huge civilization". There are 13 gates in Yuanshangdu. Among them, there are 3 gates in the palace city, but no urn city; 4 gates in the outer city, all have square or horseshoe-shaped urn city outside the city gate.

4.5/5 · 534 review
Highlights:
The predecessor of the Duolun Lake Scenic Area was the Xishanwan Reservoir. It is one of the largest water projects on the Xilin Gol steppe. The beautiful Duolun Lake lies within the borders of Duolun county in Xilin Gol league. It is as if it is a jade tile amongst the hills and the steppe. The hills, lake, and steppe contrast pleasingly with one another. The changes of the four seasons are distinct within the Duolun Lake Scenic Area. In the summer it is warm and rainy, and in the autumn it is pleasantly cool. The natural landscape is both rich and colorful, and it is a wonderful place to enjoy leisure holidays and to spend the summer away.
