Saihanba National Forest Park is a remarkable testament to ecological restoration. Originally part of the royal hunting grounds during the Qing dynasty, the area suffered extensive deforestation, transforming into a desert landscape. Beginning in the 1960s, a massive reforestation project was undertaken, resulting in the expansive forests and grasslands visitors experience today. The park spans a considerable area, divided into three distinct zones: a natural southern zone, a heavily forested central zone, and a more open, less developed northern zone extending into Inner Mongolia. At an altitude of approximately 1600 meters, the park offers comfortable summer temperatures and potential for winter skiing.
Nature enthusiasts, hikers, photographers, and those seeking a peaceful escape from urban life. Families with older children who enjoy outdoor activities will also appreciate the park.
